Love On The Pitch

Basti

"Are you kidding me Thomas" pass the flipping ball you hog" Basti yelled as he sprinted up the mid field. "How the hell are we to work on our mid field game if all you do is dance with the ball!!!" " oh relax" Thomas says " it's all in good fun" Basti slows to a small jog and then curls his feet under him and flops to the damp grass . Rubbing his knee he try's not to think about Sarah. "you're not still depressed about Sarah?" Thomas says as he Bounces the ball from knee to foot in a juggling balancing act. "NO!" Basti sneers as he runs his fingers aggressively through his trim hair. " I'm done with that lying cheating whore" "but are you really Basti??" Who am I kidding, he thinks to himself. I had it all with Sarah. She was beautiful, supportive, right until things got a little too intense before WC. That certainly got her running into another mans arms. " 7 fuckin years Thomas" how could I have spent that much time with someone ,be so intimate with ,and never know who they are? "you never really know someone until they hurt you" Thomas says as he places the ball gently under his arm as he scratches his head. " I guess your right.." Basti says with a soft voice. "listen I'm going to hit the showers" Basti says as he get to his feet" I'm done with the Dr.Phil session" he's says with a slight chuckle. " I will catch you tomorrow". "Ya sure sure" Thomas says as he sprints up the field with the ball.

Basti moves to a slow jog across the field and headed to the underground tunnel towards the locker rooms. As he passes by Joachim's office he over hears as conversation the coach is having. " Yes , I'm not kidding Alex. I need you on my team. We need confident staff for our upcoming run for the Euro cup." He says. " a new team member ?" What the hell is Joachim thinking??" He mutters "We have a dynamite fuckin team no need to mess with anything ". Joachim hangs up the phone and hollers to Basti to pop in his office.

"Basti I have a favour to ask ?" Joachim says as he leans back in his leather office chair. " sure coach anything " Joachim leans forward again as his chair creaks ever so slightly. " I need you to meet Alex in the owners lounge on Wednesday morning". " the new physiotherapist ". "We have new people coming on board and I want them to meet the stars they will be attending to. " Basti leans against the door jam. " why me?" He says. " because you are a personable guy and I want them to feel welcome". Bastian pushes off the door jam " sure coach anything for you". He turns to walk away " Bastian"? .. Basti turns to lift his chin. "Yeah coach.." " how's the knee?" Ugh Bastian shrugs as he places his hands on his hips. "Fine coach.. Feels better everyday" " good good I will want Alex to do a full check up on the knee of yours we can't take any chances.
" seriously coach.. How many frickin doctors are going poke and prod at me till you're convinced I'm 100% healed?" He said with venom. " till I say so Bastian.. Now get going! Joachim shot back. Basti hesitated by the door like he was going to continue on with his retort, but that wouldn't be smart as coach could bench his ass for the next upcoming qualifiers against Portugal. He turned and walked away continuing down the hall as his cleats clicked on the concrete floor of the hall. This is going to be a long summer he thought as he opened the locker room doors.
