Echoes of Glory: FC Barcelona Imagine

ᯓᝰ.ᐟ Family Game (Dani Olmo.)

⚽

The afternoon sun hung lazily in the sky as Dani, Maya, and Hugo gathered in the park's open field, ready for a game of football.

The ball lay in the grass, a promise of fun waiting to unfold. You sat on the sidelines, watching with a smile as your little ones excitedly rushed toward the ball.

“Okay, guys,” Dani said, crouching down to their level, a playful grin on his face.

“Let’s see if you can beat me today. But no promises, I’m still the best at football!”

Maya, her eyes sparkling with determination, nodded confidently.

“I’m going to score a goal today, Dad! You won’t stop me!” Hugo, on the other hand, just giggled and kicked the ball randomly in Dani’s direction, not fully understanding the game but enjoying every moment.

Dani chuckled, positioning himself to face them.

“Alright then. But remember, no letting you win just because you’re cute,” he teased, his eyes gleaming with that competitive streak.

The game started, and it was quickly clear that Dani wasn’t going easy on them. He skillfully dribbled the ball, weaving around the two, occasionally throwing in a playful feint to throw them off.

Maya, determined to show him she could keep up, dashed toward him, her little legs moving as fast as they could. But Dani was too quick—he easily sidestepped her, keeping the ball just out of reach.

“No fair!” Maya huffed, stomping her foot as Dani passed her by with a teasing grin. Hugo, running after the ball, ended up tumbling on the grass, his giggles making you smile.

“Dad, you’re not letting us win!”

Maya shouted, her hands on her hips as she crossed her arms. She was clearly annoyed, but her pout made her look even more adorable.

“I’m trying my best!”

You could see Dani’s eyes soften as he stopped dribbling for a moment, kneeling down to Maya’s level.

“I’m not letting you win, sweetheart. You have to earn it,” he said gently, ruffling her hair.

“But I promise, I’ll make it a little easier for you.”

Maya looked at him with a mix of disbelief and frustration.

“No! You should let me win! It’s just a game!”

Hugo, having heard the conversation, waddled over to his sister, his chubby hands pulling at her sleeve.

“No win?” he asked, his voice full of confusion as he looked at Dani with innocent eyes.

You laughed softly, walking over to them.

“It’s okay, Maya. You’re doing great. But you know, sometimes it’s about trying your hardest and learning from each moment. Your dad doesn’t want to let you win because he knows you’re strong enough to win on your own.”
