Being a Asset to the team.

A/N: A long one for the absence of me. Enjoy... 😉😘😁😏

Today was game day. In other words, Put points on the board day. Arsenal will be on top of the standings by the time I walk off that pitch. I got into my pre-game match day kit, And Rushed out of the house ecstatic to play in my debut game. I'd never played against Aston Villa. But I'd played against almost every single player on their team, Because of nationals. When I was around the age of 17 I Studied every player on a team we were versing a week before the game.

Whether it was for clubs or nationals. I did it so many times, that the player's tactics and skills are burned into my head. So I Know this will be a win. I pulled up to the grounds, and I spotted Leah pacing back and forward outside her car. I approached her, slowly trying not to scare her even more. "eh, Leah? Are you okay?" I say, genuinely concerned. "Erm yeah I'm fine, Just a bit anxious." She says, with a shaking voice.

"Can I ask what about?" I say, with a caring voice. "My ex plays for Villa, and I haven't seen her since the end of last season, when she left." She says. "May I ask who?" I say curiously. "Jordan Nobbs. you may know her?" she says. I could only sigh. "Yeah, I do know Jordan Nobbs," I say in a weird tone. "How do you know her?" Leah asked with the same curiosity I had moments ago. "I used to study team star players a week before the matches, every time we versed a team," I say, hoping Leah catches on. "Oh, I get it. Smart thinking." Leah says, and I just chuckle.

"what's funny?" She says sounding fake annoyed. "You not anxious anymore," I say still chuckling. "Oh yeah, I guess you're right," she says, with a smile. "If it happens again just time your breathing, and take deep breaths," I say, and we continue to walk into the Locker rooms. Once we got into the locker rooms Jonas came in and gave us a pre-game pep talk. After he was done, He pulled me out of the locker room to talk.

"Are you Ready for your debut?" Jonas Asked. "Psht, You must not know who I am, Of course, I'm ready," I say and I walk back to the locker room to get ready for My first Arsenal game. I Put my Beats on and start bobbing my head slightly to the song. Getting ready to Embarrass Aston Villa.

We all were lined up, Shoulder to shoulder, Back to front. 22 players lined up in A cramped corridor, Waiting for the refs to release us. I glance over my shoulder to look back on Leah, to make sure she's not freaking out. When my eyes catch Jill's, And next thing you know I'm staring. But so was she, For a moment, I felt the world stop, And then drop around me, As the refs released us. Forcing me to turn straight and put my game face on.

Commentary:

Hudson Morgan very first time EVER playing in the WSL, and she's here with Arsenal Today, Hopefully going to add points on the board for them, as they are in desperate need of a Comeback season.

Morgan opened the scoring for Arsenal with a precise strike in the 15th minute. Her skillful dribbling and clinical finish gave Arsenal the early advantage they were looking for. Aston Villa's defense struggled to contain the relentless attacking waves from Arsenal.

Morgan wasn't done yet; she added another goal to her tally in the 32nd minute. This goal showcased her incredible ability to find the back of the net. Aston Villa's goalkeeper had little chance to stop the shot as it sailed past her into the top corner.
