CHAPTER 8: ENGLAND VS SWEDEN

The day after Round of 16, all players were given a day-off. Diego used that chance to spend time with his sisters.

"It's quite rare for you to get a break like this" said Jeni.

"Well, sis. I'm not a robot. By the way, when mom and dad will come back here?" asked Diego giving Helena a piggy ride.

"Well, they didn't say anything about it yet" replied Helena.

"I see" said Diego.

"So, you're facing Sweden in quarter-final, right?" asked Jeri.

"Yeah" replied Diego.

"Hope their men's team are not coward like their ladies" said Alex.

"Still bitter about what happened in Olympic Games, sis?" asked Diego.

"Of course I do. Those bunch of cowardly dogs" replied Alex.

"Okay, enough about soccer. So, Diego. Tell us about your girlfriend" said Jeni.

"I never got one" replied Diego.

"Choosy" said Helena.

"Not choosy. Not get chosen" replied Diego.

"That is impossible" said Jeri.

"That's true. There's no way that you're not attracting ladies" said Alex then.

"Well, most ladies thought that I already have a girlfriend. So, nobody dare to say yes when I asked for a date" replied Diego.

"That's so sad. It's okay. I'm sure that you will got one soon" said Helena.

"Hope so" replied Diego.

"Our brother here is so hot that nobody believed that he still single until today" said Alex.

"Yeah, right. Really funny, sis" replied Diego.

"I know that. But I'm so serious here" said Alex.

"You know, sis. I love you but I don't think that you're right in this matter" replied Diego.

"Believe me a bit, will you" said Alex before gripped Diego's head.

"Sis, let me go" said Diego.

"You never learn, little bro" said Jeni.

"That's true" said Jeri then. Without any of them realised, Billy is hiding behind the tree that the rest of Morgans are passing by. He glanced them for a while before quickly walked away.

Few days later;

All players arrived at Cosmos Arena for the quarter-final match against Sweden.

"I can feel the pressure here" said Lingard as they enter the pitch for warming up session.

"Yes, me too. Quite intermidating" replied Diego.

"Same here" said Beckham.

"Lads, calm down. We got this" said Vardy. The boys nodded.

"Sorry about that. Where is though?" asked David.

"His sister forced him to go back to Eindhoven to spend time with their family" replied Helena.

"Why did she sounds just like Alex?" asked Jeni.

"Maybe most woman football players are like that towards their younger siblings that play the same sport" replied Helena.

"Okay, baby girl. You talked too much already. Now, shut up" said Alex before gripped Helena's head.
