That day, all Italian players arrived at Athens. Once they checked in to their hotel, Alessandro went for a walk alone. He then meet up with some fans. Once he done signing autograph and all, suddenly;

"You sure famous wherever you go" Alessandro turned around and saw one of the USWNT players; Rose Lavelle was there.

"You're here, huh. Which means she's here too" replied Alessandro.

"Yeah. But, don't worry. What happen between you and her have nothing to do with the rest of the team" said Rose.

"I see. Glad that we're cool here. So, what's bring you to Greece? Shouldn't you be in France?" asked Alessandro.

"Yeah. But the forwards of my team want to see more of you especially in such an important match like Euro Qualification" replied Rose.

"I never know that I'll pick interest from senior players" said Alessandro.

"Actually, the forwards that played in Rio interest to see more of you since that day especially Alex" replied Rose.

"Alex Morgan interested of my play style? Damn. She's like my favourite woman player though" said Alessandro.

"Really? I never know that" Alessandro turned around and saw Alex and Carli.

"Well, because nobody ever asked who is my favourite woman player" replied Alessandro.

"Really? Maybe because nobody thought that you're watching women soccer except when West Ham plays" said Carli.

"Well, I do watch other matches too sometimes when I have time" replied Alessandro.

"I see. That's good to hear. At least we knew that men players do watch us play. Anyway, we're better get going now. Good luck facing Greece" said Alex. Alessandro just nodded before the USWNT veterans walked away.

"I better get going too" said Rose.

"Okay. Best of luck" replied Alessandro.

"Same goes to you" said Rose. She was about to walk away before stopped.

"Can I have your phone number? We can know each other better" said Rose.

"Sure" replied Alessandro before they exchange their contact.

"Okay, then. Bye" said Rose.

"Bye" replied Alessandro. Then, Rose walked away.

"Carino" muttered Alessandro alone.

Few days later;

All players arrived at Athens Olympic Stadium for their first Euro Qualification match against Greece.

"Your little brother is in starting line-up, Kel" said Alex.

"For god sake, Lex. Stop calling him my brother" said Kelley.

"Either you like it or not, Kel. He is your little brother" replied Christen.

"That's true. And you need to accept the fact that whatever happened between your parents and his mom had nothing to do with him" said Tobin. Kelley sighed.

"I know that. But, I don't know if I can accept him as my brother" replied Kelley.

"Why not?" asked Carli.

"Everytime I look at him, it reminds me how did I need to grow up with my dad always not around" replied Kelley.

"Well, do you ever think about him? I mean he never meet your dad since he divorced with his mom, right" said Christen.

"Never think about it" replied Kelley.

"See? You should go and talk to him and sort things out" said Tobin.

"I don't know if I can" replied Kelley.

"Don't have to. Just be like me and Bryan is good enough" said Alex.

"As a start. Besides, unlike Bryan, I heard there are some of our teammates seem interested on him" replied Sam.

"Really? Who will ever thought that" said Kelley.

Greece 1st eleven; Barkas (GK), Zeca (RB), Manolas (RCB), Papastathopoulos (LCB), Stafylidis (LB), Siovas (DM), Masouras (RM), Samaris (RCM), Kourbelis (LCM), Kolovos (LM), Fortounis (ST)

"It is just Greece but Italy is using the best team" said Lindsey.

"Well, remember Euro 2004 in Portugal? I think Italy is taking pre-caution there" replied Mal.

"That's true" said Rose. Later, the referee blew his whistle as before Greece kicked off the 1st half.

"Prediction, Lex?" asked Tobin.

"I think Italy will win at least 3-0" replied Alex.

"Nah, I think they will only win with 1-0" said Kelley.

"Why is that?" asked Christen.

"Look around and see what type of supporters Greece have. It is enough to distract the Italian but in the end, they will bounce back and win" replied Kelley. Alex smirked.

"This is the first time I heard you talking something nice about your little brother's team" said Alex.

"Well, I think the hatred towards him before is useless. Maybe shut my mouth and comment logically is the best thing to do" replied Kelley.

"In the end, you both might ended up love each other like other siblings" said Ashlynn.

"Come to think about it, it's not sounds so bad though. Besides, siblings do quarell" replied Kelley.

"That's true. Maybe I should talk to Bryan too after the World Cup" said Alex.

"You should, Lex. You should did it since in Rio 3 years ago" replied Carli.

Later on;

It is already 35 minutes in the match and the score is still 0-0. Italian attacking seems distracted like Kelley predicted as there are only 8 on target shots from 17 shots so far.

"Alessandro seems stress" said Alex.

"He'll bounce back" replied Kelley.

"Very confident, aren't you?" asked Sam.

"Well, remember what happen in Rio? This is nothing compared to that final match if you ask me" replied Kelley.

"You're right. Besides, it is just first half though and this is Mancini's first match in the tournament" said Carli.

"That's true" replied Alex. 10 minutes later, the referee blew his whistle for half time.

In the dressing room;

"Sono solo io o tua sorella a non averti provocato stasera?" asked Pirlo. (Is it just me or your sister really didn't provoke you tonight?)

"Non l'ha fatto.  mi chiedo perché" replied Alessandro. (She didn't do so. I wonder why)

"Beh, forse inizia ad amarti" said Chiesa. (Well, maybe she starts to love you)

"Non credo.  Forse vuole finalmente lasciarmi in pace" replied Alessandro. (I don't think so. Maybe she finally wants to leave me alone) Then, Mancini came in to brief his tactical for the 2nd half.

Later on;

It is the 80th minutes of the match and the score is still 0-0. That moment, the ball is with Jorginho. He then sent the ball to Pirlo. Pirlo then saw Insigne was unmarked, so he quickly sent the ball to him. Insigne then runs with the ball at the left flank before sent it through to Alessandro. Alessandro then shoots the ball into the net from the outside of the penalty box for Italy to open the score.

"His shots is so accurate" said Tobin.

"Well, he's a Premier League's top scorer after all" replied Kelley.

"Proud of him, Kel?" asked Alex.

"No" replied Kelley.

"Really? I thought that you didn't want to have any hatred towards him" said Ali.

"Yeah. But that's not the reason I'm not proud of him" replied Kelley.

"Then why?" asked Christen.

"Because he plays for Italy instead of USA" replied Kelley.

"Well, if you're not pick a fight with him at Rio, he may consider to play for USA senior team" said Alex.

"Shut up, Morgan" groaned Kelley. The rest just giggled. Few minutes later, the match ended with the final score Greece 0-1 Italy. When Alessandro walked to the tunnel, he and Kelley's staring at each other. Kelley then gave Alessandro a thumb up; which surprised Alessandro. Alessandro then smiled while scratched the back of his head before walked into the tunnel.

"He has your smile, Kel" said Alex.

"No wonder he got plenty of fans among ladies" said Christen.

"Well, like all of you always said; he's my brother. So, he must have some traits of O'Hara with him" replied Kelley
