That morning, all AC Milan players are training as usual. That weekend, they will face Lazio at Olimpico. That match somehow become hype in USA since both of them are related to 2 USWNT players.

"This match is just a regular match here in Italy. But, you should see how hype it is in USA" said Cannon.

"Really? Why is that?" asked Piatek.

"Because there's O'Hara and Morgan in that match" replied Ryan.

"Just because of that?" asked Piatek.

"Yeah. Kyle is Kelly O'Hara's brother while Ryan is Alex Morgan's brother. Both their sisters are playing with the US Women National Team" replied Lewis.

"Really? That doesn't make sense" said Piatek.

"That's true. I hope our sisters will not fighting over this shit there" said Ryan.

Later on;

Ryan is at home playing video games when he got a FaceTime request from Alex.

Ryan: Hi, sis.

Alex: Hi, baby. How you're doing?

Ryan: I'm good. What about you?

Alex: I'm fine. So, how do you feel for this weekend?

Ryan: Just like the previous match. Why?

Alex: Really? Not hype or pressure or nervous or something?

Ryan: Hype and pressure always there especially when I am now known as The Cursebreaker. Nervous? Maybe a bit since we're playing in Rome.

Alex: You're not nervous facing Kelley's little brother?

Ryan: Why must I? We're both are at the same level after all. Besides, I face Ronaldo last week, remember?

Alex: Yeah. But, still. Don't you know Kelley and I keep talking about this match in our chat group? Lauren and Hope are pissed off because we're keep quarell.

Ryan: Really? Unbelievable.

Alex: By the way, the national team players that played for Utah Royal and Orlando Pride are coming to Rome to watch your match this weekend.

Ryan: Finally, you decided to come to watch Serie A.
