Love On The Pitch

Germany vs. Portugal

After their early morning briefing Bastian and the guys head to their assigned locker room. Reaching for his iPhone he sees a text from Alex.

Hi❤️. I missed you last night. I hope you slept well.

Anyways I have a meeting this morning in the lobby with all the medical staff. I will meet you at the field.

And before you ask... YES I have the jersey you left me. I will proudly wear the number 7 today.

Best of luck Bastian!

ich liebe dich - Alex 😘

Smiling to himself. Thomas takes notice. It's Alex isn't it? He says.

Rolling his eyes " if you have to know YES". Bastian says. Thomas laughs like a hyena... Pay up boys!!! He hollers in the locker room.

Lined up in the tunnel 10 minutes prior to the game both teams size up the competition.

Alex makes her way down the tunnel towards the team with her fellow staff members. Sporting her #7 jersey, a snug pair of skinny jeans that show her long slender legs, and a killer pair of heels, Alex is looking exceptionally gorgeous today.

Stopping in the tunnel between the two teams, she throws a wink at Bastian. He winks back.

" Vejo que você tem algum burro fresco lá schweinstieger!!" ( I see you have some fresh meat Schweinstieger )

Renaldo spouts off as he undresses Alex with his eyes. The Portuguese team laughing at Renaldo's antics.

Bastian can feel his blood start to boil.

Ignoring Renaldo's advances Alex looks at Bastian and mouths " it's ok"

"eu poderia comer você de dentro para fora" ( I could eat you from the inside out)

"vem aqui que eu quero você em seus joelhos"( come here I want you on your knees)

Another round of sexual harassment comes flying Alex's way this time Renaldo grabs Alex's hand and pulls her to his chest.

Bastian comes flying through the line with his fists ready. Thomas and Manuel grab his arms to hold him back. A scuffle between players breaks out Before Bastian gets the satisfaction of punching Renaldo, Alex slaps him square across the face. Everyone pauses. As Renaldo rubs his jaw Alex points her finger in his face and says,

" não você cada toque me , novamente, você pobre desculpa para um homem .... ir e foder uma cabra!"

And storms away leaving both teams flabbergasted.

Translation( don't you ever touch me again you poor excuse for a man.... Now Go and fuck a goat!)

Renaldo looks at Bastian "you better put that women of yours in her place Basti." Or what Renaldo? Basti says with Thomas and Manuel still holding him. " or I will put her in place... You are in my country now.. A women's place is always 5 steps behind a man and on her knees when shes told " Renaldo says with venom.

Is that so ? Basti says. Chuckling to himself Bastian's arms are released by his team mates. He places them on his hips and looks Renaldo square in the eyes. " that women is ten paces in front of you Renaldo... And I think she just put you in your place" that being said the german squad heads out to the field.

Keeping his cool was the name of the game. Renaldo was already worked up and that would fuck with his head, and fuck with his game. Bastian and all the guys new that as well, that's why the scuffle in the tunnel didn't and wouldn't escalate any further than it did.
