The young version of Stankovic

Today Filip is a bit tired, yesterday was a difficult match. He made so many saves,
around 14 big saves and 8 catches and 2 penalty saves. The team was so happy
with him. When the game ended the whole team hugged and thanked him. When he
came to Volendam he felt lonely. The games didn't went good, he got injured and a
red card at his home debut with the fans and in the kras stadion. He felt so bad after
the game. when he came back from his injury he played the best match he ever
played, that was yesterday. It was a game against FC Emmen at home. so the fans
were there to support him. He did his best. it worked, every time he made a save the
hekside threw beer at the field because they were so happy. Now is Filip home. In
his apartment in Amsterdam. He lives there because it's more like Milan, where he
came from. Volendam is just totally different, that's why he decided to live in
Amsterdam. Filip Stankovic is a Serbian/Italian goalkeeper he is 21 year old he is
young, so this is his first time for a different club. He played a lot more matches for
Volendam. he felt more like home. He was happy at Volendam. They were very
close to promote to the eredivisie. Then the decisive match approached. Would they
promote or would they stay in the KKD? Filip played a really really good game. Then
there was a last minute penalty and........ HE SAVED IT!! The referee blew his
whistle, and yes the game was over. They won with 1-0 so Filip had a clean sheet!
After the game they celebrated. until 3 AM. The season was over. Filip was on loan
to Volendam for one year so that means this was his last game. He thought about it
and decided he wasn't ready to leave Volendam. He went to Jasper van Leeuwen,
the technical director. He asked Jasper if he could stay, Jasper said immediately yes.
Jasper told Filip he will speak to Inter about it. Inter said yes, Filip heard the great
news and was happy. Now the season is over and it's summer break. Filip takes
some rest to be fit enough for the eredivisie. A month later they started training
again. After a week of training they went to Alkmaar to play a pre-season match. Filip
was happy to play a game again. He made some good saves again. Now it's the first
game of the season in the eredivisie against FC Groningen away. The team doesn't
play well. There 2-0 down. But the team makes a good comeback and makes it 2-2.
The game ended. They were happy with their comeback. They played another game
but lost it unfortunately, the team was too weak to beat N.E.C. Nijmegen. But then
after that game there was a home game against FC Twente. The first half was
difficult. Twente was constantly attacking and Volendam was defending. But
Volendam has a good goalie Filip Stankovic, man of the match. After that match was
the away match against PSV. Volendam lost with 7-1. Filip still made 20 saves but it
wasn't enough to win. After that game they lost all the games, only Vitesse Arnhem
and FC Emmen ended in 1-1. Now it is winter break. They had a practice match
against NAC Breda from the KKD. They won with 6-0 and their confidence was back.
After the winter break there was a away game against SC Cambuur. They won 3-0
with good goals from Robert Mühren, Bilal Ould-Chikh and Henk Veerman. Filip also
made a really good double save and was man of the match again. They also won
against RKC Waalwijk. There were some ups and downs but they made their points.
Then there was the away game against Ajax Amsterdam. Filip made some good
saves in the first half. In the second half Filip shot a far kick to the striker Muhren.
Muhren shot against the goalkeeper from Ajax. Volendam got a corner, Eiting took
the corner and there was Damon Mirani who headed the ball into the intersection.
They were so happy they were 1-0 up against Ajax! The game ended in 1-1.
Everyone was so happy and proud that Volendam played 1-1 against Ajax. The next
games went good Volendam won with 3-2 against FC Groningen home and played
1-1 against AZ home. Then there was a game against Vitesse Arnhem home. Filip
was injured so the team was worried it went wrong. Barry Lauwers was on goal now.
Filip went to Italy to get treatment. Vitesse was very bad and didn't come at the
goalkeeper. Volendam won with 2-0. The away games didn't went that good but the
home games did. They won 3-1 against FC Emmen at home 2-1, against Fortuna
Sittard and 2-0 against SC Cambuur. There was only 3 matches left today there
gonna play against Sparta Rotterdam. It is time to warm up. Filip looked around and
saw behind his goal 3 girls shouting his name. He waved at them. The game starts in
minute 30 they became 0-1 down.. but in minute 43 they scored 1-1! The fans were
so happy. The second half started Volendam played good, it was the 90 minute and
they got a chance. It was so close but they missed it.. 5 minutes of extra time were
added. And in minute 94 Volendam scored the 2-1. The whole team was so happy.
The game ended in 2-1 for Volendam. After the game Filip came out of the players
home and saw 3 girls waiting for him, he realised it were the same 3 girls as the girls
behind his goal during the warming up. They asked for a picture and told him he was
a very good goalkeeper. Filip drove home with a good feeling. The next game was
Go Ahead Eagles Deventer. It was a away game. The game started really bad, in
minute 2 they conceded a penalty. But then there was Filip Stankovic. He saved it.
The game couldn't start better for him. Unfortunately he couldn't keep it up. He
wanted to dribble with the ball but he passed it accidentally to a player from go
ahead. They scored. The game ended in a 3-0 loss for Volendam. But because
Feyenoord won from FC Emmen they still stayed in the eredivisie. The team and the
fans partied but Filip wasn't happy. 2 mistakes in 1 game, he couldn't get over it.
Then the next match, against Excelsior Rotterdam at home. During the warming up
the same 3 girls were standing behind his goal this time Filip waved to them 3 times
because they were supporting him so good. Volendam played really really good in
the first half they became 3-0 up. The second half wasn't good. Excelsior scored 3-1
and then 3-2. There was a last minute penalty. Filip had to save it. The penalty was
taken and….. YES HE SAVED IT!!! The whole team was on him they were so happy
that he saved that penalty. The supporters cheered with each other. The game was
done. After the game the 3 girls were waiting for Filip at the players home again. He
walked straight to them. One girl asked him for his autograph and he signed it. He
also said “this heart is for you” and drawed a heart. He gave her flowers and they
made a picture. The biggest fan of the 3 thanked him for the good 2 season all the
saves and told him she is gonna miss him. He knew he would return to inter. He was
sad that he had to leave Volendam but also happy he could return to his family and
dreamclub. He went back to inter and trained with them. He played pre season
games against Al Nassr with Ronaldo and Paris Saint Germain. He won both of the
games. Then inter came to him and told him they wanted to loan him to U.C.
Sampdoria. He wasn't really happy with that. The same day he heard that Volendam
loaned a new goalkeeper, Mio Backhaus, a 19 year old Deutsch/Japanese
goalkeeper. Filip went to Sampdoria and played the first game, it didn't went good
because his defense played a really bad back pass. Filip wanted to pass back but
the player runned away or something. So the opponent got the ball and scored. After
that game he checked his instagram and saw all the hate massages he got. He was
sad and wanted to return to Volendam. He saw that Mio Backhaus made really bad
mistakes and Volendam was last in eredivisie. The next game Filip played he
conceded a goal and the whole team was angry with him, the supporters scolded
him out if he touched the ball. Filip called Jasper van Leeuwen if he could come back
to Volendam. Jasper said he would talk to Mio about it. Mio disagreed. Filip was sad.
Jasper was also sad. Filip played more matches for Sampdoria and the fans
suddenly loved him. Because he was a good goalkeeper. He knew this was the way
it is in football but he thought about Volendam, they would never hate on him. A lot of
matches were played. Sampdoria became better and better. Volendam became
worse and worse. Mio was so bad. Then it was winter break Jasper van Leeuwen
called Filip to ask if he wanted to return to Volendam. Filip said immediately yes. Mio
got sent back to Werder Bremen. And Filip returned to Volendam. He played his
games very well and Volendam stayed in the eredivisie. Filip is now happy at
Volendam and will stay at Volendam until he is old and good enough to go to Inter.
