'He ordered food and then massaged my back and my legs and just... treated me like... like a princess.' I chuckled, taking a seat at the table.
Me and Luca decided to grab something to eat before we headed to meet with the Moroccan national team.
'And what's wrong with that?' Luca laughed.
'There's nothing wrong with that.' I smiled. 'It was just super unexpected.'
'You guys are clearly in love with eachother and things are getting more serious by day, and personally, I think you both deserve that.' Luca shrugged his shoulders. 'Unexpected things will happen and that's that. That's the whole point. Surprising eachother and making eachother feel just how you felt at the beginning.'
'You know...' I let out a sigh. 'I didn't feel like this with Neymar.'
'What do you mean?' Luca asked curious.
'I mean, yes, I was head over heels in love with him and I'll always love him and care for him but it wasn't always as easy as it is with Pedri.'
'Maybe because Pedri is the person you're meant to be with. You and Neymar were more of star crossed lovers and you and Pedri have a different connection. Your hearts dance together and...' Luca shrugged his shoulders. 'I don't know... it's just pure love.'

'Hey guys, it's so good to see you again.' I smile at the Moroccan players. 'Today you'll do your usual training but as soon as you're done, we'll have a little game for you.'
'A quick trivia game and a 30 second timed game.' Luca added. 'Nothing too intense, just something that can ease your nerves and pressure of the competition and mess around a little bit.'

After they were done with the training, me and Luca approached Yassine Bounou.
'Hey.' my smile grew wide.
'Irina, Luca.' he nodded his head. 'Looks like I'm the first one to go.' he smiled.
'I was just dying to talk to you, to be honest.' I chuckled.
'I'm flattered.' he smiled.
'So you have 10 questions, you have to answer them and then we'll see if anyone is going to be able to beat your score or not.' I turned my attention towards the camera. 'Thank you for joining us today to test our players' knowledge and quickness. Our first competitor is the amazing Yassine Bounou.'
'Are you ready?' Luca asked.
'Let's do this.' he smiled.
'Which three players shared the Premier League Golden Boot in 2018-19?'
'Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and I have no clue.' he smiled.
'In which World Cup did Diego Maradona score his infamous 'Hand of God' goal?'
'1986.'
'Bayern Munich star Thomas Muller is a keen chess player and once won a Bavarian chess tournament. True or false?'
'False?'
'I've worn numbers 7, 17, 28 and 9 in my career, playing my football across, England, Spain, Italy and Portugal. Who am I?'
'Ronaldo.'
'In which continent does Morocco lie?'
'Africa.'
'What is the highest-grossing holiday movie of all time?'
