Ouch...I'm still sore from last night's wrestling match... Surprisingly, Fabio decided to visit not too long after that.

I'm out here today to meet someone who according to him, could give me a better understanding of Sergio's motive. This person was no other than Gareth Frank Bale. Fabio joked about how his middle name was Frank...Soo let's just stick to Gareth.

"You mean to say you actually agree with what Sergio's doing!?" I got up from the table with a raised voice.

"Can you keep it down? You're making a scene..." Gareth politely asked. I looked up and noticed that everyone else in Coffeemania was kind of staring at me, Gareth was in disguise so no one really noticed him.

After a moment of awkward silence, I immediately sat back down. "Sorry, but you don't actually agree with him do you?" I asked him again.

"Ok, I agree that Cristiano can hog the attention of the media a bit, but it's not like he's doing it on purpose, so I can't really be upset with him. Sergio is just blinded by both his anger and the stress that comes with playing at the World cup." Gareth explained a bit more in depth.

"hmmm....ok, I see." I listened. "That still doesn't excuse him from punching me in the face the other day..." I continued.

"Look, Trust me, He's not a bad guy. It's just that once he's angry you can't really tell him anything." He reassured.

Perhaps he's right, but even if he is, the objective is still pretty clear. Sergio needs to realize that he's wrong about all of this. Deep in my thoughts, I fiddled with my thumbs.

"Try to give him a chance after he's clammed down, I'm sure you'll see what I'm talking about." He insisted.

I know Gareth wants me to believe that he's a nice guy, and deep down think I want to believe that as well. I want to believe that any teammate of Cristiano's is a good person. But in this case, shots were fired by Sergio, so the war is on.

"Well hey, I'd love to talk more about the issue to see how I can help, but I promised to take my wife and kid out for lunch today." Gareth laughed.

"Sure! No problem, you actually helped me understand the situation a little better." I got up from my seat shaking his hand.

"Anytime. Tell Cristiano I said hello and good luck, and that Portugal is doing well." Gareth said to me.

"Sure thing." I told him as he left Coffee shop, sitting back down.

That reminds me...I should probably be somewhere myself. I pulled out my phone and texted Maria to remind her as well.
