Chapter 32- Spain vs. Finland

Matchday -1. Tomorrow is the start of our journey in the Euros. Tomorrow will determine our futures.

England kicked off the tournament yesterday against Austria at Old Trafford, winning their match 1-0, courtesy of a Beth Mead goal.

The only person who I've spoken to outside of matches during the time from the incident that happened with Ale is Ona.

I have been ignoring everyone else, and I mean everyone. Leah had messaged me a few times, and I left her on delivered, not bothering to reply.

I think Ona told her of the situation, though, as she said she understood what was going on and that I probably needed space.

Work Wife's Wife 🔥
I'm just letting you
know that we're
coming to your
match tomorrow
(me, Leah, and
Lotte)

And we're dragging
you to Viv's game
the day after!

Oh, and Leah's
family are coming
tomorrow, along
with yours, I
think?

So don't ignore us
please, Dri.

We love you and
we're here for
you, alright?

So is Viv.

Roomie 🤩
Thank you, Beth

I'm sorry I've been
ignoring you guys,
Ale and I got into
a massive argument
a few weeks ago.

It's been on my mind
ever since.

I'm proud of you, btw.

And Leah.

Tell her I miss her,
yeah?

I'll see you tomorrow.

Milton Keynes. Leah's hometown (technically).

Also, my hometown from England.

What an honour to play here, the place where it all began.

Spain vs. Finland.

I haven't heard from Ale since she got sent home from camp. From what we now know was that she tore her ACL.

That's the one injury I hope I never get, I never want to tear my ACL because I know I'll never come back the same.

Being captain for the team means that there's a huge weight on my shoulders, I feel that if we don't win, it's my fault.

But it's a team effort, I can't blame myself for everything.

Panos, Batlle, Paredes, Leon, Ouahabi, Bonmati, Guijarro, Irene, Garcia, Martinez (C), Caldentey.

It's official, I'm the captain.

Warm-ups, that'll be fine, that'll clear my nerves.

"Dri, cálmate." Ona tells me as we walk out of the tunnel and onto the pitch for warm-ups. (Calm down).

How am I meant to calm down? This is a massive responsibility on my shoulders!

As I look around the stadium, I meet my girlfriend's eyes. She's right by the edge of the stadium, right by where I'm warming up.
