“I heard of him,” someone says at the end of the line. “My uncle was on the inspection of the children’s home in Kudelkino and he said a boy there was as good at soccer as anyone in the upper league.”

“The children’s home in Kudelkino?” another kid says. “That one is for…”

“That’s the one. For the children of the enemies of the people.”

Coach blows his whistle as if to stop the kid from talking, but it’s too late. They all heard what the kid said.

“Let’s not get distracted, children,” Coach says. “Continue passing.”

“I’m not passing to an enemy of the people,” Chubby says and as if for backup looks over to the benches where his dad is watching us.

“Me neither,” says the kid at the end of the line.

“That’s right,” someone else says. “None of us will.”

Coach frowns. “Drill’s over.” He crosses quickly between the rows of kids and plucks the ball off the grass. “Everyone can go home.”

“Already?” Chubby says. “Can’t we play a game without him?”

“No,” Coach says, but just then some kid standing close snatches the ball from him and chucks it onto the turf. Everyone darts after the ball.
