Alright lads

I'm the scout from Aston Villa Academy and I've come to watch you on their behalf

There's only one place left and it's out of you two 

Here's what's expected of you today - you have to do two drills - shooting and dribbling

So, if you haven't got any further questions - then let's get cracking, let's do it!

GIFT

No, no further questions

ANTHONY

c'mon man, let's go

Looking back at my analysis

Gift, you have been granted a place at Aston Villa Academy.

Congratulations!
