Minos is tall and strong for his age. After he tries unsuccessfully to play soccer and his teammates ridiculing him, a football coach approaches him. Minos will have to learn everything though. In order to win, he will have to follow his new coach’s instructions and face the roughness of this sport. Unfortunately, Minos has to live with the memories of a tragic accident that happened the year before. Minos loves football. But will he continue to play despite the risks?

Book Excerpt
Le ballon est remis au quart-arrière, qui pivote, recule et s’apprête à faire une passe. Je me faufile à travers leur ligne défensive. J’aperçois le receveur choisi ; il lève les bras. Je cours dans sa direction, prêt à le plaquer. Au dernier moment, il laisse échapper le ballon et je le récupère juste avant qu’il n’atteigne le sol. Surpris, je n’hésite qu’un bref instant. Je le cale dans le creux de mon bras et, galvanisé par les encouragements de mes coéquipiers, j’entreprends la longue remontée vers la zone des buts.
