The conflict in my novel Goal, has been revolved all around Santiago's life. He has a conflict after conflict in this book. The first conflict begins as he had been working so far all his life for his father doing yard work for the rich people, as he and his family are a very poor family. They all live together as a unit. Santiago has been playing and enjoying the game of soccer all his life. But he has not had the confidence to go somewhere with it because his father has been telling him his whole life that he would not make it anywhere in soccer. But he keeps on playing and luckily an agent from England saw him play soccer and brought him to try out for Newcastle United. When he arrives to Newcastle, he arrives with two conflict. First he is not used to the England rainy weather and the second is Hughie Magowan. At first he gets used to the rainy pitch but it took not until the end of the book to fix the Hughie conflict and create a relationship. After being handed another months trial he had his puffer broken and could breathe during a game and was asked to leave the club because he was no longer needed. But then again this conflict was resolved when he was about to go back to LA, but he encountered Gavin Harris who was his new friend who was the big new signing who had alot of the power on the team and talked to the coach to put him back on the team. After this he finally was succedding and lead them to beating Fulham scoring the winning goal and scoring the second goal and getting an assist in the winning goal from Gavin Harris against Liverpool to put them through to the Champions League next season.
If you were Santiago would you keep on playing or do you think that all the pressure from your family, friends, teammates and coaching staff to succed would be to much and just quit to go home to be with your family?
