Dutchies vs Lionesses

"Vivianne!"

Viv looks up from tying her cleats as Sarina Wiegman, her national coach calls her name and straightens up. "Coach?" She smiles inwardly as she grimaces and smiles cheekily knowing she hates it whenever she calls her coach even though they keep it up around the team.

"A word please?"

She nods her head following Sarina out of the dressing room after grabbing her captain band knowing she will help her fasten it and walks into the physio room prepared for them for this friendly, she sits down on the bed handing Sarina the band as she joins her and holds out her left arm.

"I noticed a bit of tension during training yesterday and in the dressing today, what is going on between you and Van De Donk?"

"I may called her a slag for fame."

"A what now?" Sarina asks glancing up at her with a soft laugh.

"A woman with loose sexual morals." Viv mumbles.

"So a slut for fame, so to say?" Sarina asks in amusement. "Vivianne!" She exclaims as Viv hums.

"Sorry." Viv laughs. "She gets on my nerves with her TikTok shit, even more so after I found out the truth behind her former relationship." She sighs as Sarina quirks an eyebrow and shrugs. "I won't tell Beth's story around, let's just say that Daan isn't so innocent as some think."

"Already thought that much." Sarina sighs. "I don't like how the both of you perform on the pitch though."

"Come on Sar." Viv sighs. "I am trying my best to stay professional, she is the one ignoring me and passing to Jill or Lieke the whole time."

"I know and I would not have gone through the struggle of putting this fucking thing on if I didn't plan on starting you." Sarina points out tugging on the captain's band. "All I am asking is if you can handle the blow of her mood as soon as I bench her?"

"Well, I will hit the pitch so I won't feel it."

"But after."

"We have two days off, the same goes for the lionesses so I plan on meeting with Leah and Jordan to drive to Beth." Viv breathes. "I won't be at the hotel until it's time for us to fly back to the Netherlands, I thought I told you that."

"You did." Sarina breathes. "I just forgot, but that's perfect Jill and Lieke won't be around either and the other girls don't give a damn." She steps back as Vivianne hums and pats her thigh. "Grab the girls and go warm up, I will pull Daan aside."

Vivianne nods following Sarina out of the room and opens the door to the dressing room. "Come on girls, time to warm up!" She turns on her heels as Sarina slips in telling Danielle to stay back and jogs down the long hall towards the pitch, she speeds up as soon as her cleats dig into the grass and easily takes a ball with her listening to the fans filling the stadium.

"Viv!"

She looks up as she hears Leah's voice, chuckling as she jogs over with a grin and hugs her. "Hey, Leah." She breathes. "Hey, Jordan." She greets hugging the smaller blonde as she walks over to greet her.

"Ready to get your arse kicked?" Leah asks smirking.

"In your dreams." Viv huffs, she glances behind her as her teammates fill the pitch and smiles. "Gotta join warm up, we will catch up after the match." She jogs over to the girls as they nod their heads, bumping the ball at her feet up as she notices Daphne sprinting towards the goal and smirks. "Daffy!" She sends the ball towards her with a half volley, laughing as she scrambles over with wide eyes and slowly nods her head as she keeps the goal clean after diving forward.
