Chapter 5:

Today was it. Game day. And to be honest i was a nervous wreck.

We all were on the bus on the way to Espanyol’s stadium, and everyone was on their own, listening to music or being on their phone. I stared out of the window.

This was all what i was waiting for. Playing my favourite sport, but most of all, playing it on the big stage.

The bus came to a halt and everyone got out. I followed the girls to the training room. And when i got there i saw that they had already put up our tenues.

‘girls, change up for the warm-up quickly and come join me on the field’, the coach said.

Everyone changed in their training gear silently. You could hear a pin drop.

I followed the other girls to the field, and when i got there my mouth dropped open.

‘Quite something else huh?’, Natalia said to me as we walked to our coach.

All i could do was nod. This was going to be something great.

‘OK girls’, the coach said. ‘Play like you have practiced. I know you’ve got it in you to win this game, so let’s go and kick some ass!’.

Everyone around me cheered. I sighed before following the other girls onto the field.

It was game on.

At half time it was 1-0 for us. Of course everyone was happy about the advantage but to the coach it wasn’t good enough.

‘Come on girls’, he said. You had some pretty good chances but i know that you can do more than just that’.

He was right. We could do more than that. But we missed alot of opportunities, and part of that was to blame on me.

I couldn’t just let that bring me down. I knew we had to win this game. Especially because this was a derby.

‘Let’s go girls!’, the coach yelled,’you got this!’.

The second half started and i was feeling alot better.

Natalia passed me the ball from midfield and i charges forward. I did a couple of stepovers and got pas a few defenders.

I tipped the ball over my head with my heel but saw a shadow infront of me. I felt a sharp pain in my stomach and for a moment i couldn’t breath. I heard a whistle in the distance.

‘Aïsha are you ok?’. I blinked with my eyes and could make out the referee and a few other girls, under which Natalia.

I nodded, taking a couple of breaths  to get my breathing under control, and let Natalia help me up.

‘This free kick is yours’, Natalia whispered in my ear, and gave me the ball.

I followed the referees directions as to where to place the ball. It was a little outside the penalty box, and a little to the left, my favourite place to take a free kick.

I looked around the stadium, as to a few whistles from the home crowd it was dead silent.

I looked at the direction of the goal. The goalkeeper tried to distract me by pointing into different directions. But i wasn’t buying it.
