Everyone quickly lined up with their partners with huge smiles on their face, Gareth walked up to me with the goofiest grin.
"I hope my blue eyes are a match for Crissy's caramel brown ones" he lowered and whispered into my ear. I elbowed him hard in the stomach and he laughed, unaffected. Bloody giant. I was glad to be paired up with him, in Madrid it was usually Cristiano and I.
"Alright, everyone! We'll start with 10 warm laps and then high intensity interval training for 30 minutes. Get ready." Carlo said and everyone quickly formed two lines, each one standing next to their partner at an arms distance from each other and from the person in front, reminding me of little school kids.
Once everyone was neatly lined up, Carlo blew the whistle and we started jogging, after finishing the laps we did hurdle training and passing drills. I had completely forgotten how serious the team got when they trained, they had their light moments but each one was focused. Although, true to form, Pepe had pulled Marcelo's hair after he repeatedly made bald jokes and now they were both doing punishment laps.
To my surprise, Cristiano didn't try anything, he was either fully committed to the training or was busy talking to Sergio about something. We made eye contact a few times but he looked away without as little as a smile or his signature wink. I hate to admit it, but it made me feel weird.
After finishing the drills, it was finally time for us to play a match.
"Alright everyone! Huddle up." Zizou called, blowing the whistle. Everyone formed a circle around him and stood quietly waiting for his instructions.
"You'll be splitting into two teams. Who'll be our two captains?" Everyone's hands went up except for Marcelo and I.
"Perfect. Nicole and Marcelo, pick your teams." Zizou smiled at us.
"Wait, what?!" I looked around surprised, did I unconsciously put my hand up?
"You didn't put your hand up." Sergio pointed out and everyone else nodded in agreement.
"Yes, and in normal terms it means that I don't volunteer as tribute, not please Katniss Everdeen me." Everyone looked at me and then giggled like I was a lunatic.
"See, it's not your fault. We trick all new people into captaincy like this and Marcelo.. likes it." Iker laughed
"Whatever, I'll put my hand up tomorrow." I frowned
"Doesn't matter, you're both captains till we're here in L.A." Carlo said
"Just pick your teams." Morata said
"Fine. Who'll start?" I asked
"You go first." Marcelo said and I didn't protest
"Alright, I want Gareth." Gareth grinned and quickly took his place next to me.
"I can't believe you picked him first, when I was available!" Sergio said, wiping invisible tears. I just blew him a kiss.
"Cristiano" Marcelo said and Ronaldo walked and stood to him.
"Sese" I said hyper excited voice making a heart with both my hands similar to Gareth's celebration. Sergio rolled his eyes and walked over to our side.
"Karim" Marcelo picked.
"Luka" I picked.
"Morata" Shit, he has the strikers.
"Lucas" I countered
"Toni" I wanted Toni.
"James"
