Ella's w POV

Game day, and I'm not in a good mood, even though I should be as I'm making my 100th appearance for England. I haven't got one good shot in the warm up and I'm in the starting line up.
"Fucking hell, I'm shit today," I mumble placing my hands behind my head walking away from the goal.
"Williamson, everything ok," Mary shouts from the goal so I just stick up my thumb.
"El," Lucy says.
"I'm fine, Lucy don't worry," I say grabbing another ball, and taking a shot but sending it sky high. Going to be a fun game. Fuck this.
" Hey," Alessia says grabbing both of my hands, " what's going on baby," she asks pulling me back whilst I try and walk away.
"Nothing is going on, I'm going to finish warming up, I'll see you on the pitch when you come on ok," I say kissing her cheek.
"El, we are not done with this conversation," she says jogging next to me.
"Yes we are," I say putting the ball on the penalty spot and trying to take it, it's on target but Mary saves it. Bollocks.

Sarina and Leah called me into a separate room and handed me the captain's armband for this match now I'm even more stressed. God.
"Ella, stop stressing, you are a talented player and do you remember what I said on one of your first games with us 4 years ago," Sarina asks me.
"Yeh, that I would make a great captain one day, but I'm not ready how have I even got this far, I'm not good enough for this," I say panicked.
"El, calm down, I know you can do it buba," my sister says looking extremely proud," Ella, deep breaths, follow my breathing," Leah says holding my hand lightly.
"Ok, only if your sure Leah and Sarina, I can try," I say standing up with Leah as we need to go to the line ups. 3 deep breaths.

"You got this Ella," I hear from behind me from Mary, I don't like this. This is terrifying.

As we walk out I can feel my hands shaking, I'm 20 years old and already on 100 caps for England, and I'm Captain for today. Maybe I can do this, I see alessia already sat on the bench with a shocked look on her face when she sees me walk out the team instead of my sister.
We sang the national anthems and shook hand with Irelands team, Katie being there we swap pennants( little flag things). So we head over to the bench to drop our jackets.
"Here," I say putting mine on alessia.
" Good luck," she says kissing my cheek, "love you," she whispers as I walk away so I turn around and make the heart symbol at her.

Wait, it actually went in, get in.
"Good job captain," Leah says patting my back .

Bright yellow card, slide tackle on McCabe
McCabe yellow card, aggressive behaviour and foul language towards player and referee.

44' Mead goal

2-0

Half time whistle goes. Thank god, my heart is racing and my anxiety is really high right now. I don't know how Leah does this each time.

"Ella, few words please," Sarina says opening the floor up to me. Shit.
"Um, ugh, right so we are playing well but we need to take it out wide and pass back to are attacking defenders like Lucy so that we can produce more opportunities and to avoid turnovers, stop sending it straight down the middle as the is where we seem to be loosing the ball the most, if you look at the statistics," I say pointing at the bored in my hand," we have made twice the amount of passes and we have had 78% of possession throughout the entire game thus far, Sarina am I allowed to suggest the subs," I ask.
"Go ahead skipper," she say patting my shoulder.
"So if we sub off Lauren James and put Chloe on, both of you have different skill sets but we need the speed to keep up with McCabe and the others, and take Millie off as we can't afford for anyone to get a red card and I can tell that they are trying to push you to that point they have been all game, so Alex take her place,then around the 60 minute mark, bring on the two super subs Alessia and tooney, beth and gerogia come off, we need to play defensively and on the attack, we are 2 goals up already but we need to widen that goal difference if we want to be at the top of our group for the olympic qualifiers, but seriously good job on the first half everyone, let's go back out there and destroy the Irish." I say as we all put our hands in.
"Ella, wait a sec, that was brilliant, even Leah doesn't use the statistics, well done, you will be the next best captain especially after Leah, you will make the change Ella, go out there and do your best," she says as I quickly catch up with the rest of the girls.

"Hey," I say putting my hand on alessia's waist as I go to run back out onto the field.
"You were amazing el," she says kissing my cheek before I run out on the the main field again.

Deep breaths in and out...

Second half, kick off...........

58' Ella Williamson goes down, fouled by Lucy Quinn.

"Hey you ok," Leah says when she gets to me.
"Um, not sure, there's some blood on my leg but should be fine," I say getting up and slowly walking away from the situation, fuck that hurt, her studs cut me leg pretty deep but I'm still going to play.

Final whistle blows, I did it I Captained our team to a win. Fuck my leg hurts. "Holy shit," I say sitting on the pitch, why didnt she get a red. There are slashes down the back of my calf.
"Bubs, you ok," Alessia says going to helpe off the floor.
"Can you get Leah and the medical team Please," i ask laying back and putting my hands over my face.
"Holy, thats bad els, and of course," she say jogging over to Leah who was taking photos with fans.

Med team soon arrived as did Leah," your gonna need stitches Williamson," one of the med team says placing a hand on my shoulder.
"Yay, more scars just what I want," I mumble putting my arm over Leah's shoulders for support as apparently I have to do an interview. Player of the match, nice, that's great.
