Arrived at the Pitch, not everyone is there yet*.

Jack: Hey Guys

*You go to Kane and Foden*

Kane: Hey

Y/N: (shyly) Hey

Phil: Hey. You must be Y/N right?

Y/N: Yes

Phil: I'm Phil, Phil Foden

Y/N: Hey Phil, nice to meet you.

Kane: I'm Harry.

Y/N: Heyy Harry.

Phil: Jack, you have a pretty sister (says it only as a compliment).

Jack: I know, I love her very much.

Y/N: Thank you both.

*Mason comes to you.*

Mason: Heeey, Jack, Phil, Harry (hasn't seen you yet).

Jack: Hey Mason, how are you (hugs him)?

Mason: Good and... (has seen you) You must be Y/N, Jack's sister, right?

Y/N: *looks at him*

Jack: (nudges you)

Y/N: Oh, sorry. Yes, I am.

Mason: I'm Mason by the way (smiles at you).

*Pair of seconds of awkward silence.*

Gareth: Hello everyone, can you all come here please?

*by now all are there and go to Gareth*

Gareth: welcome to the training, you all know we have a special guest, however we will do our training as normal and Y/N will participate as best she can and wants to.

*the boys went to the dressing room while you waited outside*.

Gareth: First you warm up as usual, run around the field and do the tasks, I'll get the equipment while you do that. Got it?

All: Yes

*a little later*

Gareth: Alright, you will form two teams and play against each other.

Jack: Can we pick?

Gareth: Yes, but keep to your positions as best you can. Those who play more than one position can see where they need another player.

Y/N: Jack?

Jack: Yes what?

Y/N: I have no idea what position I might have.

Jack: Well, don't worry, you just come to the team where I play and we'll all take care of it together.

Y/N: Well, thank you.

Mason: Hey, are you two wanna come here? We're still two players short?

Jack: Well?

Y/N (nods)

Jack: We're coming.

Phil: So, Jack, I think you're still playing midfield, right?

Jack: Sure, what should Y/N take over?

Mason: We could play with two strikers, so Y/N and Harry.

Jack: Yeah, I think that's the most understandable position. You just have to watch the offside and try to score goals.

Y/N: Okey, Understood

Mason: If you ever get in trouble, don't worry, just play it outside.

Y/N: I'll try but I can't promise anything. (Turns a little red)

Jack: And it doesn't matter if you make a mistake. Because you're not playing football, we all know that a bad pass could happen, and that's not a bad thing. And we're all human beings here, and human beings make mistakes.

Mason: Exactly and it's training. It's not about winning, it's about learning new things and practising technique.

Jack: and we all started small.

*Gareth heard you.

Gareth: And guys. We'll pretend she's part of the team and play to her even if it might go wrong. Again, it's not a big deal if something goes wrong, all right Y/N?

Y/N: Yes, thank you very much

Gareth: But what you mustn't do is try to take the ball away from her with the straddle or other similar things. Because she doesn't know the falling techniques and stuff. Understand?

All: Yes

Y/N: Thank you

Gareth: Oh by the way, mistakes don't matter at Y/N, but if you make any, you'll get push-ups.

All: (a bit annoyed) Got it.

*You have started to train*
