Emma's POV
"What time's our meeting tonight?" Christen asks.
"6." Julie says as we step off the bus.
"What's the meeting about?" I ask as I look at the Man City Line-up on my phone.

20-Lucy Bronze
6-Steph Houghton (C)

27-Alex Greenwood

We're playing Man City today at our stadium.
"We're talking about what we want in the new National Team CBA...Besides the money." Christen says.
"Oh." I say. "I'm guessing we can't talk about the money since we're going to trial next summer?"
"Yep." Christen says as we get to the locker room
Once in the locker room I notice the line up on the wall so I look at it quickly.
1-Emma Harris
17-Lisa Evans
6-Leah Williamson
2-Julie Johnston
12-Steph Catley
14-Jill Roord
8-Jordan Nobbs(C)
7-Daniëlle van de Donk
9-Beth Mead
11-Vivianne Miedema
23-Christen Press
When I walk into the locker room I take my AirPods out, take out my nose ring, take off my necklaces and my rings, then I put my jewelry and AirPods in my bag before I put my bag in my locker.
Once I'm jewelry free I put on my short sleeve neon orange undershirt, my warm up top, then I put on my game shorts. I then sit down in my locker, put my long long curly brown hair up in a ponytail, put on my socks and put on my black and gold boots.
After my boots are on I tape my wrists, hands, and fingers then I put on my black and white keeper gloves before I head onto the field with the other keepers.
When I get on the pitch I run through my warm ups with the keepers for a while then head back to the locker room.
Once in the locker room I change out of the training top and change into my neon orange keeper jersey while the coaches do their last minute talks.
After the last minute talks are over we are told to head to the tunnel so I grab my towel and water bottle then I head to the front of the line in the tunnel and stand behind Jordan.
Minutes later we are told to head out onto the field for the prematch stuff so I follow Jordan out.
Once on the field we stand in a line for a few seconds then we head to our bench and do our team huddle.
After our team huddle I grab my towel and water bottle then I head to my goal. When I get to my goal I put my water bottle on the outside of the net, hang my towel on the net, then I do my huddle with the defense.
"LET'S GO LADIES." Katie shouts. "YOU GOT THIS."

"Come on." Julie says as she helps me out of the car. "Let's get you upstairs."
"Everything hurts." I mumble as my muscles scream in pain.
Our game was very physical, but thanks to Viv we won 1-0 on an 89th minute goal.
Unfortunately for me, however, I got fouled a shit ton by the Man City women and nothing was called.
"I know Bubba." Christen says. "Let's get you upstairs and into Jessie's arms."
