After my three goals last match, I am the premier league's top scorer.
Today, we play against Leicester city, and I am over the moon.
Everyone in the stadium claps and cheers every time they hear my name on the speakers, that feels incredible.
Many big clubs have already shown interest in me, but I try to not think about that right now. As long as I am in Everton F.C, I want to give my best to them and only have my mind on that.

I arrived at the stadium two hours before the match, like we are told to, in order to have one last pre match talk and to warm up and all of that.
I always arrive ten minutes before anyone does, so I can be in the dressing room by myself for a bit.
There are some stairs between the hallway the dressing rooms lead to, and the field. I run from the dressing room to the field back and forth in those few minutes I have on my own.
I leave the dressing room, climb the stairs, step on the field, and go back to the dressing room. All of that running as fast as I can. That same process over again until someone else arrives.
This is a really important boost for me before a match. The only disadvantage is that I've got used to running every time I have to go up some stairs anywhere else now.
No one ever follows me on that, so I end up looking a bit stupid, but it's okay.

Two hours later, we were getting dressed for the match.
Today's match is an important one. Leicester city and us are pretty close in the league ranking, and winning against them would give us real chances of playing in Europe again, like we did two years ago. Even though we didn't make it past the group stage, it was an experience I will never forget, and that I definitely want to experience again.
I grabbed my blue shirt with the number 13 in the back, and "Horan" written above the number. After putting it on, I did my hair a bit because it was looking too messy.
I've thought about not dyeing it blonde anymore, but I've got used to it after all these years of being blonde.
I chose number 13 for my shirt in the first place because it is my birthday, September 13th. But I kinda love the number now and I wouldn't like to wear another one.
Some people say that it is a bad luck number, but it hasn't been the case for me for the moment.
After the manager gave us another speech, we stepped on the field, everything was ready.
The referee blew the whistle, and I immediately ran in the ball's direction.
I spent the first 30 minutes running after the defenders the moment they got the ball, trying to steal it from them while being near to their goal.
