It was Gameday. Wolfsburg vs Bayern Munich. It would be a challenging game and we knew how important it was to get the three points. Wolfsburg dominated the league and we wanted to change that. If we won then we would go into first place.
I was standing in the tunnel looking across at the Wolfsburg team, they all seemed focused and ready. I glanced down the line of players and briefly caught eyes with a brown pair but we had started walking out onto the pitch so I didn't have any time to read into it.
The match was difficult and I was struggling to get on the ball in the midfield. Wolfsburg's plan seemed to be foul our midfielders before we even had the chance to play the ball. Half time came around and it was still 0-0. We defended well but struggled to attack. The game plan was clear though and after a bit of motivation we were ready to go on and win.
I received the ball and began dribbling in and out between players, I spotted Lina making a run so I curled the ball in her direction but as the ball left my foot I felt a sharp pain and I fell to the ground. I heard the crowd cheer so I assumed Lina had scored but I tried to breathe through the pain
"Sorry about that, are you okay?" I saw the same brown eyes I had been drawn to before
"Yeah, it's just my ankle" i said holding it and hitting the ground, squeezing my eyes shut
"The medics are coming over, sorry again" Lena walked over to the ref who was booking her for the challenge
"What's the problem?" The medic asked handing me some water
"My ankle" i replied sipping the water
"Great assist" Sarah grabbed some water and tapped my shoulder
"Are you okay to continue?" The medic asked putting a hand out for me to get up
"Yeah"
I walked over to the sidelines as I watched the match start again.
Wolfsburg equalised late in the second half disappointing us but they had played very well and deserved an equaliser. We kept pushing though for the winner but we couldn't do it. The whistle went and we shook hands with the players. When I reached Lena my heart began pounding in my chest, her piercing brown eyes gave me chills
"Well played" she smiled sweetly
"Thanks, you too" i returned the smile
"I'm sorry again for that tackle, I didn't mean to hurt you" Lena looked down sheepishly
"Don't worry about it" i smiled trying to reassure her
"Uh thanks, do you want to swap shirts?" She scratched her neck nervously
"Sure" i replied causing her to smile excitedly
I took of my shirt watching her eyes roam over my body making me smirk, but I couldn't help but do the same when she took off hers. I put on the Wolfsburg shirt feeling cold
"Sorry again" Lena grabbed me in a hug and the contact sent shivers down my spine
"You need to stop apologising" i whispered in her ear enjoying the contact
"You look good in green" she whispered back. I was glad she couldn't see the blush on my face, she finally pulled away and grinned
"Let me make the tackle up to you, dinner?"
"You don't need to make it up to me Lena"
"I want to"
"Take me out for dinner or make up for the tackle?"
"Both"
I laughed and began walking away
"I'll say yes to dinner" I called back growing in confidence
"Great, I'll send you the details" Lena replied
When I got back into the changing rooms and took off my socks I noticed my ankle was bleeding. It wasn't anything serious but it still hurt a lot.
"Seems Lena made an impact" Sydney Lohmann smirked
"Yeah, she did" i smiled thinking of the brown hair beauty
