'Good morning.' I smile as I take a seat at the table.

'Someone's happy today.' Luca smiled while he pushed my chair out with his leg under the table.

'Thank you.' I said taking a seat. 'Of course I am. Yesterday was a good day, today is going to be a good day and there's so little left and then I can go home to Pedri.' I shrugged my shoulders.

'And you're leaving me.' Luca smiled softly, but I could see he was sad that once again, we had to part ways.

'You're acting like we don't see eachother.' I said softly.

'Have you ever thought about moving back to France?' he smiled.

'No.' I shook my head.

'How about Pedri comes to PSG?' he chuckled.

'Won't happen.' I chuckled.

After ordering our food and eating it, we were now discussing today's match.

'Before you say anything, I want to remind you that you promised we won't split up again.' Luca said.

'I know.' I chuckled. 'That's why I took care of everything.'

'What do you mean?' he asked curious.

'We'll go meet up with Morocco now and then we can head to France's training centre.' I shrugged my shoulders.

'You did that?'

'Of course.' I rolled my eyes playfully.

We bumped into Hakimi first, who was outside the training centre, looking all stressed.

'What's up?' I asked.

'Oh, hey there.' he gave me a quick hug and then greeted Luca.

'Hakimi, are you okay?' Luca chuckled.

'No.' he said looking at us. 'I mean, yes, but, no, but...' he took in a deep breath. 'I'm just stressed about today's match.' he shook his head gently.

'You know I'm an honest person and I don't want to sell you dreams and...' I let out a sigh. 'But no matters what happens today, the fact that you guys, you as a team we're able to get to this point in the Tournament and make proud your people won't change. You've shown them that everything is possible.' I smiled.

After a few moments of silence he decided to speak up.

'Thank you.' he touched my arm gently.

'Let's go inside now.' I said and grabbed my two friends and headed towards the entrance.

'Hey my lovelies.' I said with a soft smile. 'I want to congratulate you all for giving your best on the pitch and for reaching this stage in the Cup.' I nodded. 'You've made many, many people proud and that's something that no one's going to take away from you.'

'Just like before, we want to wish you the best and we are extremely proud of you. It's been a pleasure working with you and meeting you.' Luca added. 'And I know that you'll give everything, just like you did till now.' he smiled.
