Siempre te voy a querer

Chapter 95

Jimmy stood in the middle of the locker room, clapping his hands to gather everyone's attention. "Bien, chicos, este es el momento por el que hemos trabajado duro. Hoy enfrentamos a un equipo fuerte, pero hemos preparado cada detalle, hemos entrenado para esto. Confío en cada uno de ustedes. Quiero que salgan y den todo lo que tienen. Cada pase, cada tiro, cada defensa cuenta. Jueguen como el equipo que son y recuerden, estamos aquí para ganar."

The players nodded in agreement, clapping their hands as they felt the energy in the room build. Isa and the rest of Jimmy's staff were also present, ready to provide support and make critical decisions during the game.

After Jimmy's speech, the team changed into their training clothes and made their way to the field. Isa, Manuel, and Jimmy waited for them, observing as the players began warming up and practicing their shots.

As the Mexican national team took one half of the pitch, the Argentinian players began to fill the other side. Isa noticed them but remained focused on her task, jotting down notes on her iPad as she discussed strategies with Manuel.

Meanwhile, on the Argentinian side, some players couldn't help but notice Isa on the field. Enzo Fernández, in particular, recognized her immediately. A smile crept onto his face as he kept glancing in her direction, her feminine figure standing out among the rest.

"Isabella," he muttered to himself, remembering her name as he continued to train. His attention was drawn back to the game as Messi jogged by and caught him staring.

"Enzo, concéntrate," Messi warned, his tone firm but not unkind. "Deja de mirar a Isabella y enfócate en el partido."

Enzo chuckled lightly, but heeding Messi's words, he forced himself to focus on the drills, though his thoughts occasionally drifted back to Isa.

On the Mexican side, Isa noticed the Argentinian players glancing over but paid them little mind. She was focused on making sure the Mexican team was fully prepared. Manuel pointed out a few details as they observed the drills, "Isa, fíjate en cómo se están moviendo en la defensa, parece que están ajustando su línea."

"Sí, lo he notado," Isa replied, tapping a note on her iPad. "Están probando una formación más compacta, vamos a tener que mover el balón rápido para evitar que nos cierren los espacios."

The team continued practicing, and Isa, along with Jimmy and the staff, kept a close eye on every move, ready to make adjustments as needed.

As the Argentinian players jogged around the pitch, murmurs began to spread among them. Most of them had noticed the striking woman on the field, and the curiosity was palpable.

"¿Quién es ella?" murmured Leandro Paredes, glancing over at the woman with a mix of admiration and intrigue. "Está linda, ¿no?"

Rodrigo De Paul nodded in agreement, his eyes following her for a moment. "Sí, está muy bonita. Nunca la había visto antes."

Julian Álvarez, who had been jogging nearby, caught their conversation and decided to chime in. "Se llama Isabella," he revealed, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Leandro raised an eyebrow. "¿La conoces?"

Julian nodded, slowing his pace as he spoke. "Nos conocimos hace un par de meses, en una fiesta de la FIFA. Es muy guapa, pero en ese entonces tenía novio."

"¿Quién era el afortunado?" preguntó Giovani Lo Celso, his interest piqued.

"Santiago Giménez," Julian replied, glancing around the pitch. "Pero no lo veo por aquí, así que supongo que no está."

The players exchanged knowing looks, impressed by the revelation. "Ah, Giménez," murmured Nicolás Otamendi. "Ella debe ser una de esas que atrae miradas donde sea que va."
