Hello! Welcome to the pregame for today's game as Paris Saint-Germain is set to take on Olympique Lyonnais at home. A change to PSG's lineup today Y/N L/N will be starting up top in her first game since being loaned to PSG from NWSL team Washington Spirit. Let's send now to our commentators for todays match.
No one's POV:
The teams took the field. You kept your head down as you walked out. You knew your friends and family would be watching today's match. Your US teammates sent you good luck texts. You mom told you she prayed. Ally texted you a sweet message and tweeted her support as did the rest of the 5H girls.
The teams took their positions. PSG would get the ball for the first half. Tobin's words stayed in your head.
"Do what I did. Repeatedly yell "oui" when you want the ball."
You smiled at the thought and heard the whistle blow.
Game time.
Ally's POV:
Me and the girls were watching the game from our hotel in LA. We had Y/N's US teammates on Skype for one giant game watching party.
By the 20th minute there was still no score.
"Come on Y/N!" Syd yelled when she got the ball. She ran down the field and sent the ball into the box. Her teammate headed the ball into the back of the net!
"GOALL! PSG TAKES THE LEAD IN THE 21ST MINUTE WITH A PERFECT CROSS FROM L/N!" The commentator yelled.
For the rest of the 1st half PSG dominated. During halftime they interviewed Y/N.
"Y/N this move to Paris was kind of thrown at you out of no where. How are you dealing with the change right now?"
"Um it was sudden, but I'm used to moving around when I play for the national team so getting up and having to move to Paris with a weeks notice wasn't difficult. The hardest for me was the team. I had just gotten used to the team in Washington and now I have to switch to a new team that speaks a new language."
"Are you gonna learn French?"
She smiled. "Yeah I have a translator right now and she promised to teach me some French since I'm here for a while. And Tobin told me to repeatedly yell "oui" like she did and that may help in games but not living here so I'm gonna learn it definitely."
The interviewer laughed. "Thank you for your time and good luck in the 2nd half."
"Thanks." Y/N walked away.
*2nd half*
Your POV:
Walking onto the field for the 2nd half I felt a little more confident. I got an assist in the 1st half and we were winning.
No one's POV:
In the 65th minute you were running down the field hoping your teammate would pass. A player on the opposing team suddenly pulled her arm back. She released it and hit you right in the face.
You put your hand on your face and fell to the ground and the ref blew her whistle.
Ally's POV:
I watched Y/N lay there holding her face.
"Did that bitch just punch Y/N?" Dinah said.
"Yeah." Lauren J answered.
"How dare she!"
"The trainer has been called to attend Y/N who has just been punched in the face. It looks like she is bleeding from her cheek as well as her nose."
We watched as the trainer ran to Y/N. She sat up on her knees.
"She looks PISSED." Megan said.
"Can you blame her? Poor kid just got punched in the face." Hope said.
"The ref has issued a red card. Y/N is on the sideline receiving treatment."
"Come on babe." I said.
The game continued. "It looks like Y/N is ready to come back into the game." They showed her. She had a cut under her eye and cotton stuffed in her nose. "Wait she still needs to change her jersey."
The staff ran out with a new clean jersey for her and she took off the bloody one and threw it on the ground.
"AND SHE THREW IT ON THE GROUND!"
"LAUREN!" Camila yelled.
"First fucking game in Paris and I get punched!" I read Y/N's lips as she was on the sidelines. She changed and was allowed back into the game.
Your POV:
My fucking face hurts. I wanted to score a goal just to shut everyone up. My teammate had the ball.
"YO!" I yelled. She looked. "Qui!!" I yelled. She nodded and ran to the box. She sent in the cross and I kicked it into the back of the net.
I ran towards her. She was screaming in French. "Oui." I said.
The coach subbed me out right after the goal and I was taken to the locker room to get looked at.
Interesting first game.
