dreams to reality

22.

2 weeks later.

It's the second last game of the season against Brighton. If arsenal draw or lose today and we win we go top of the league, making it in our hands for the final game of the season.

"You excited?" Keira says sitting beside me in the changing room. "Very" I reply putting on my boots, "do you think arsenal will drop points? I ask her. "I don't know, I don't want to give up but if we're being realistic they shouldn't" Keira says handing me water.

Kick off.

4' goal for city scored by hemp, assisted by Bella smith.

27' goal for city scored by Caroline weir, assisted by keria Walsh.

30' goal for city scored by Bella smith, assisted by Georgia stanway.

Half time. 3-0

We were all in the changing room when one of the staff told us spurs were beating arsenal 1-0. The girls got a little excited but Gareth immediately calmed it down. We soon headed back out for the second half.

49' goal for city scored by Bella smith, assisted by hemp

60' Bella smith off, Ellen white on. Hemp off, Jess park on.

Full time. 5-0 city.

I was pulled away from the girls at full time to do a bbc post match interview.
::::::::::

"It's great to see you Bella how've you been?" Alex says pulling me into a side hug, "yeah good, you?" We we're talking for a few minutes until the bbc started to go live.

"So Bella, great performance today that's now 22 goal contributions in 11 games, that is one of the best stats I've ever seen, how have you made that possible?"

"Erm I'm not quite sure myself to be honest. I came into this team looking for a bit of experience here and my goal was to help them get back to where they should be, fighting to win this league and we are doing that right now so I think I'm doing good I guess"

"We all think your doing more than good, last game of the season is next week and the following week you are in the Fs cup final against Chelsea, how are you feeling?"

"Yeah good, you've probably heard this loads but we take game by game and that's how we cope. We don't get too ahead of ourselves, of course it's exciting to be fighting for 2 trophies but we have to keep our feet on the ground"

"You talk like a proper professional and your only 19 year of age I'm amazed. I think everyone forgets how young you are"

"Yeah I guess so, I've been brought up around football and when you talk about it all the time especially with someone like how my dad was it stays with you and you never forget some of the words used here and there. It's great though if football was an every week and you don't get a summer holiday I'm sure I'd be fine with it, I'm obsessed with the sport and I'll always be"

"Thank you for your time Bella, you are the player of the match"

"Thank you"

I clap the fans before giving my boots to a little girl and took a photo with her. I headed inside and the girls told me arsenal still had injury time to play so we all stopped what we were doing and started to watch it, it was on a iPad from one of the staff. We all could of got it on our phone but we didn't think and all stood/sat around the iPad.
