CHAPTER 1: THE FINAL MATCH OF 2017/2018 SEASON
That day, all Leicester City players are having their final training of the season as they will face Tottenham Hotspurs at away.
"Hey, Diego. Want to have lunch with us?" asked Jamie Vardy once they finished their training.
"Sure. Who else?" asked Diego in returned.
"Just us, Mark and Ben" replied Vardy.
"Okay" said Diego then.
Later at the diner they usually go;
"So, Diego. How do you feel making your debut in the World Cup in few weeks?" asked Chilwell.
"Excited, nervous. I can't describe it" replied Diego.
"What about you, captain?" asked Albrighton.
"Well, I'm still can't believe that I even made it to the team. I'm gave up on football once, remember" replied Vardy.
"So, Diego. What did your sisters said when you chose England over USA?" asked Albrighton.
"They called me traitor in front of their teammates of course" replied Diego. The rest chuckled.
"I wonder what will happen when England ever face USA" said Chilwell.
"They might accidentally cheers for you if you score goals" said Vardy then. Diego chuckled.
"Then, both of them will get viral" replied Diego. The rest just chuckled.
Later on;
Diego just arrived home when he got a FaceTime request from one of his elder sister; Alex Morgan where he quickly accept it.
Diego: Hi, sis.
Alex: Hi, baby bro. How you're doing?
Diego: I'm good. What about you?
Alex: I'm great. So, it's nearly end of season there. Have you ever thought about next season?
Diego: Not yet. I was thinking more about the World Cup.
Alex: Ah, yeah. I'm nearly forgotten that you're a traitor of USA.
Diego: C'mon, sis. Give me a break.
Alex: Well, if you be loyal to USA like Helena did, you're safe. But, you chose England instead of USA.
Diego: Well, England have better chance in the World Cup. While USA, they can't even made it.
Alex: Well, maybe they will if you played for them.
Diego: Well, they already had Dempsey and Pulisic though. It's the tactical that bad.
Alex: Yeah, right. Anyway, I need to go now. I'll call again sometimes.
Diego: Okay, sis. Tell everybody that I say hi.
Alex: Sure. Tell Helena the same thing.
Diego: Okay.
Alex: Bye, Diego. I love you.
Diego: I love you too.
Then, they hung up.
That weekend;
All Leicester City players arrived at Wembley for the final fixture of the season.
"Spurs is so lucky to have Wembley as their home turf even if it's temporary" said Scmeichel.

"That's true. I'm sure they will be overjoy when they return to their real home turf" said Albrighton.
"Who are you waving at, mate?" asked Vardy as he saw Diego waved his hand towards Spurs' supporters section.
"My twin sister; Helena" replied Diego.
"Ah, yes. She played with Spurs women team, right?" asked Albrighton.
"That's true" replied Diego.
"Too bad she's not playing for England" said Chilwell.
