Book excerpt: Football is not about life or death – it is far more important! Jake, Nick, Peter and the rest of FC Mezzi's players are doing okay in the tournament. But can they win and advance to the best league? It has never happened to a mixed team before. Their opponents are really good and a few of FC Mezzi's players even get injured. It is hard finding new players in such a short time, but it just so happens that a new boy just moved to the city. He has a famous name: Zlatan. But can he play football? And does he even want to? Football is not about life or death – it is far more important! Jake and his friends have formed their own team, FC Mezzi. We follow their training matches, tournaments and old and new friendships. There is even a little bit about love. This series is all about having fun with the game! Daniel Zimakoff was born in 1956 and he is an educated librarian.
