CHAPTER 4: THE BEGINNING OF 2018 FIFA WORLD CUP

That morning, all England players are training as usual to prepare themselves for their opening match in Group G against Tunisia.

"Hey, mate. Have anything planned later on?" asked Lingard.

"Yes. I'm going to hang out with Helena" replied Diego.

"She's already here?" asked Kane.

"Yes" replied Diego.

"That's fast. She's supporting England, right?" asked Lingard.

"Of course. It's not that she has other choices after all" replied Diego.

"Yeah, right" said Kane.

Later on;

"So, bro. How do you feel about your first World Cup?" asked Helena.

"Well, quite nervous actually. What if I screw up" said Diego.

"No, you won't. You've been training hard for this. Your training will not betray you" replied Helena.

"But, what if..." before Diego can finished his words, Helena closed his mouth with her palm.

"Oh, no. Don't say anything bad. It will just make yourself feel worse. Now, repeat after me; I will score hattrick against Tunisia" said Helena.

"But, Tunisia quite tough nowadays" replied Diego.

"Say it" said Helena.

"But" said Diego.

"Say it or we're no longer twin" warned Helena.

"Seriously?" asked Diego.

"Yes. It's your choice" replied Helena. Diego sighed.

"Fine. I'll score hattrick against Tunisia" said Diego then. Helena smirked.

"Now, that's my twin brother that I admired so much" replied Helena.

"Aww, my twin sister is so sweet" said Diego. Helena just giggled.

2 days later;

All England players and coaching stuff arrived at Volgograd Stadium for their opening match against Tunisia.

"Damn, it's finally here" said Lingard as they started their warming up session.

"Yeah. I can't believe that I will made my debut here. Somebody please punch me" said Diego.

"Gladly" said Sterling before punched Diego's arm.

"Hey, I don't really mean it" said Diego.

Meanwhile at the spectators area;

"Again, why must I be here? My nation is in Group H" said Sizuka Morgan. Sizuka is Diego's paternal cousin that has 2 citizenship; American as her father is an American, and Japanese as her mother is a citizen there. Both Sizuka and her twin brother; Tsubasa are also football players and they already chose to play for Japan.

"Well, same goes to me but I'm still got dragged here by Alex" replied Billy. Billy is a the eldest son of Morgan and he is a year older than Diego and Helena. He played for Brazilian Serie A club, Corinthians on loaned from Juventus. He chose to play for the nation he was born; Italy.

"Why not? Family should support each other too after all" said Alex.

"That's right. Especially you, Billy. Our brother is play today" said Helena.

"Well, yeah. But Tsubasa needs our support too" replied Sizuka.

"And I already promise my academy's coach to help him trained my juniors this summer" said Billy then.

"Don't bother saying anything, guys. Alex here is stubborn as hell" said Jeni.

"That's true" said Jeri then.

"Completely agreed" said Helena.

"Aren't you supposed to side with me?" asked Alex before headlocking Helena's head.

"Sis, let me go" said Helena while the rest just laughed.

Starting Line-Up of the match;

England 1st eleven: Pickford (GK), Alexander-Arnold (RB), Stones (CB), Maguire (CB), Chilwell (LB) Mount (CM), Lingard (CM), Henderson (CM), Morgan (RWF), Kane (CF), Rashford (LWF)

"Right wing, huh. It's been a while since I saw him played as a winger" said Billy.

"Well, it can't be helped though. England comes here with plenty of forward after all. Even Vardy and Sterling not in the 1st eleven" replied Sizuka.

"He should plays for USA then" said Alex.

"Then, he won't play in the World Cup just like me right now" replied Billy.

"Don't worry. I'm sure that you will one day. Italy is a 4 time champion after all" said Sizuka.

"Hope so" replied Billy.

"Or maybe you just need to play for USA like your old friend; Pulisic" said Helena.

"Aww, my little sister is so smart" replied Alex.

"Nah, not interested" said Billy.

"Why did both Morgan Boys are traitor" said Helena.

"Because who wants to play in the same nation as you" replied Billy causing Helena to kick his leg.
