Moi: (Half asleep) No problem, thanks for the hair and getting my mind off the game for a bit.
Renata: (Smile) It's ok. See you.
Moi: See you.
I watch her leave and i go to my mirror to look at myself. I really feel bad about Rose bro, all these efforts she's done for me and this is how i thank her ? But i also think about what i've said last nigh...
No no no, don't start overthinking.Come on Kerlon this is your day today. Lock in. Think about Football only. You Gotta get into the game as early as possible.
I'm right...(Yes i'm turning crazy.) I put my phone on airplane mode and i go shower. After my shower i put on the club tracksuit and i go downstairs.
You know sometimes i look at the logo and it reminds me of everything i'm carrying on my back. It's deep, Alaves isn't just us. It's the fans who cheer for us. The coaches. The staff. The academy. The kitman.The cooks... Even the cleaning staff.
I was watching a documentary on Netflix about an English club. There was a lady who worked at a club for 40 years and because the club got relegated she had to leave and find something else. It's really cruel and i don't want it to happen to anyone at the club.
That's why we gotta do the impossible today and beat Madrid to keep the hope. Anyway, enough talking. (Laugh) It's time to go downstairs.

I arrived to the hotel canteen... There's some conversations noises but it's really low and calm right now because everyone is arriving one by one. I like that morning atmosphere, it's relaxing.
I scan the room, but there's no sign of Javi or Alex yet. They're definetly still knocked out (Laugh).
I walk toward the buffet and i grab some eggs, a slice of toast, and a few bananas for later. I thank the canteen staff and i go towards a sit. But on my way i hear a voice...
Deyverson: (In portuguese) Bro you're hair are fire ! When did you make them like this ?
Oh shit. What am i supposed to say now ? I can't tell that we sneaked someone in ? Or you know what. Fuck it. If they don't want to loose they won't try to punish me.
Moi: I made them last night. I got some stylist coming in.
Deyverson: (Smile) That's nice. You're looking great. So, how are you feeling today.
Moi: Good and you. Do you think you will score ?
Deyverson: I don't know if i will play today...And you ?
Moi: Honnestly ? Yes.
Deyverson: Ah, prime Kerlon is back? Let's go!
He laughs and hit me on the shoulder. Deyverson is normally the carefree, joyful guy in the squad. But today, he's got a different vibe. I guess even the most careless guy in the world is feeling the pressure of today.
