Gillots novel about soccer is also a delicate character study of a solitary man slowly rejoining the world (Publishers Weekly).Vincent once had a shot at becoming a professional soccer player, but a careerruining injury put an end to his dreams. A tough kid from a poor family, he has become an emotionally cutoff man with frustrated hopes and limited options. He finds himself coaching an undersixteen soccer club in an attempt to keep alive his only passion.The team he coaches is little more than a roster of hotheaded boys, none of whom understands the onfield chemistry needed to win. Simply put, they arent of a championship caliber. Then Vincents unemployed sister, a single mother, suddenly dumps her thirteenyearold son on him. With no clue how to take care of a teenager, Vincent panics. He decides to bring his nephew to practice, and eventually throws him into the scrimmage.Its then that Vincent notices theres something strange about Lonard. He has a preternatural ability for anticipating each strikers intentions, making him a remarkably talented goalkeeper, but he seems detached, absent, lost. It becomes clear that Lonard has undiagnosed Aspergers syndromeand also that, with Lonards abilities as a goalie, Vincents ragtag team has a chance to reach the finals. The team will need to rally behind this strange kid from Paris in order to get there, and for that to happen, Vincent will have to let down his guard and open his heart for the first time ever.No love of sport is required to feel the genuine emotion pulsing from this story about making connections.
