We won 4-0 in the first leg so we technically could rest some people, but with the way people have been talking about us, we want to fuck up everyone we play.
We haven't lost a game all season and people are saying we've bought our wins since the team had so many transfers in which is so dumb.
Most teams bring in new players every season so nobody has any room to talk.
"Here Tierna." I say and hand the line-up to my favorite American Center Back then I love on my dogs as we arrive at the stadium.
Once at the Emirates Stadium, the bus parks then everyone gets off and heads to the locker room.
When we get to the locker room, everyone puts their stuff down in their respective lockers.
Once my stuff is in my locker, my teammates and I head outside for the pitch inspection.
After we've inspected the pitch, my teammates and I head back to the locker room.
When I get to my locker I take my AirPods out, I take out my nose ring, I take off my necklaces, earrings, bracelet, watch, and my rings, put my jewelry in it's safe then I put my jewelry safe and AirPods in my bag.
Once I'm jewelry free I take off my tracksuit and put my dark brown locs up in a ponytail then I put on my long sleeve light pink undershirt, my warm up top, and I put on my game shorts.
I then sit down in my locker and put on my socks, my shin pads and my red boots.
After my boots are on I tape my wrists, hands, and fingers then I put on my red keeper gloves before I head onto the field with the other keepers.
When I get on the pitch I run through my warm ups with the keepers for a while then head back to the locker room.
Once in the locker room I change out of the training top and change into my light pink keeper jersey while Amaka does her last minute talks.
When the last minute talks end, we are told to head to the tunnel so I grab my towel and water bottle then Appa, Socks, and I do as told.
Once in the tunnel, I line-up right behind Leah then I wait for us to be called out.
Minutes later we are told to head out onto the field for the prematch stuff so I follow Leah out onto the field.
Once on the field we stand in line for a few seconds then we take a starting XI picture, Leah does the coin toss, we do our team huddle, then I lead Appa and Socks to the bench.
Like in the first leg, we're not shaking hands with Juventus.
"Stay here pups." I say
Appa and Socks yip and smile at me so I scratch their heads then I jog to my position on the field.
Once I'm at my goal, I hang my towel up on the net, put my water in the net then Leah and Tierna come over and fist bump me before they head to their spots.
"LET'S GO KIT-KAT." Aurora shouts from whatever box she's in in the stadium.
"Wow." Leah says.
"That's impressive." Tierna says.
