It was tradition now, that the first game back at the Allianz each season, was the friendly between the men's senior team and our Next Generation team. It was also the only game that my whole family was asked to attend all together, with my uncle John hosting a garden party afterwards at his house, inviting all the players and staff involved.
I pulled up at the stadium in my car and took a deep breath before getting out and having to face everyone. Composure was key today, first with having to face all the crazy members of the extended family and second, with Kenan getting to meet everyone. I had even gone to church and lit a candle this morning to pray that he wouldn't slip up and end up saying anything embarrassing.
As I made my way to our tribune, I checked the line-ups on my phone and was happy to see that the bunch of Next Gen players that had gone to the US, had been called up for the senior team today. "Hello Mum, Dad" I said with a small smile on my face when I tapped their shoulders. "Bea!" they both said and hugged me. "How's work?" my father asked me and I tilted my head. "It's good, I'm happy. Uncle John is happy, that's the most important thing" I chuckled.
"Ah, there you are" Uncle John said as he joined us and greeted my parents too. After engaging in some small talk, I went to sit down on the front row with the rest of the board, John and his wife Matilda, the rest of my family sitting behind us. I turned back and saw the seat between my father and another uncle free, just as I had requested, for Dado.
The game started and unsurprisingly, the senior team was up 3-0 by half-time. We had some refreshments in our VIP box before the second half got underway and I got a bit excited when I saw Dean and Kenan get subbed in at the start of that. And when the latter registered an assist to Kaio Jorge, we all stood up again for the fifth goal of the evening. My highlight however, was Dean's goal in the 82nd minute, and I sprang up from my seat shouting and screaming as he ran over to our stand and pointed at me, forming a heart with his hands. I sent him a wave back and smiled brightly.
"No, but seriously, how are you two guys not together?" Matilde asked me, leaning closer to not let anybody hear. "We're just friends, Matilde. Let it go" I chuckled. "Ok, but... Any other boy? You're young and pretty! At your age I had tons of boys after me!" she giggled and my eyes darted to the number 39, who was watching our tribune after his friend's goal celebration. "I promise you'll be the first one to know when there will be something to know" I replied and pressed my lips into a smile.
