Alex was riding his bike from the stadium to home. For sure his parens have been inhe stadium, but he is gone my bike to the stadium, so he had to drive it back again.
He was the number 10 in the team, he had to make the final pass to the forwards. He wasn’t a leading person like Marc or Sascha are. But he is the best on his position, and everyone in the team knows it. His father was from Nigeria, but he left his mother before he was born. He has to younger step-sisters and one step-father. He and Marc were the best friends. Well, he don’t miss anything. But he was still angry about the match, he could make the important goal, but he didn’t hit the goal. Anyway, the team played nice and the team was n a nice place in the classment.
As he came home, he was trying to phone his girlfriend. But as he phoned her and they said each other how they missed each other he asked her if they should meet. But she said him that she had too much homework to do.

 Simon was the right winger and he lived in the west of Leinfelden. As he ame home he put his jersy with the number 8 in the box for the dirty clothes and then he was prepairing hisself for meeting Debra. Debra was the girlfirend of Alex and they had an affair for longer than 3 months. He didn’t told anyone in the team because many people were good freinds with Alex and if they would know about they may wanted to tell him. Of course he had also many friends, but if hey would know about they would hold to the guy who was cheated.
It started just as he helped Debra for her school work in German, but while they were in his room he was watching her breasts and as she was realising that he was liking her body she was getting that waht she was missing at Alex. He was a little bit more aggressive. He was saying what he was thinking. Aley was ruled by her. She had always to say what he must do and what they would do. She was so nerved by that.
After that they felt both guilty about it, but one week later they met again. And now they met each other three times and more a week. Not just for having nice nights, they also went to the cinema together and did many other things together. Alex didn’t knew about the life of them.

On the way home was Toni thinking about the match. He was from Italy and came to Germany six years ago. He was in the defending midfield, and if he hadn’t pass wrong, they didn’t made the goal. But Marc was right. They played against a very good team and could all be happy that they didn’t lose.
He was living in Stuttgart-Degerloch, a part in the south of Stuttgart. His parents didn’t came to the match, but his sister and her boyfriend did. She drived them back home.
“Nice match Toni.”, Fabio, her boyfriend, said.
“Thank you.”, he said resignated.
“Noone can always win.”
“Yes...”
“Oh, come on, next time you will win again”, he smiled.
Now also Toni smiled “Yes, of course”.

 As Marc walked to the stadium next Tuesday. As team captain he had to be one of the first persons of the team who are at the training, and he is one of the last persons who left. As he walked arround the stadium to come to the locker rooms, one girl was stading at the gate to the pitch.
“Hello!”, she said.
“Hi”, Marc answered. Well, it was just a polite greeting, not more. In the locker room he took his traing stuff ut of the bag and changed clothes. Luca and Sascha, left winger and defender, have already been there.

“Hello guys!” Marc shouted and went to his place in the room.
“Have you seen Tonis sister Saturday?”, Luca laughed.
“Yes, she is so hot!”, Marc answered.
“Hurra on Tonis sister!”, Sascha said.
“How could that ugly guy have such a hot sister?”, Marc asked and laughed.
Ye, it was the running gag of them. No week was ending without just one talk about his sister. Now Toni came in.
“Hey guys, what’s up?”
“Not much.” Marc said. The thee guys tried to not laugh.
After a while, all people of the team ame into the room. It was one unwritten rule that noone went on the training field before the coach didn’t gave the signal for it.

The coach was Tomislav Vidkov. He was from Croatia and everyone called him “Tome” or “Thommi”. Tome was the owner of a small bar, the soma. After they dressed up all, Thommi and the team left to the fields. Mrac made a small view around the fild. He can’t say why he did that at each training, but he did it since he started with playing football.
What is that? There is the girl again. The same girl which has been infront of the stadium. But now he listened to the coach. Tomo explained the last match, what was good, what was bad. Marc just listened because he has to as captain. After Thommi stopped, he sent all players to a walk thoigh the wood next to the stadium. But Marc, and John, a guy who just made the sport because his mother told him to go into a sportsclub, went with the goalkeeper coach Valentin to the goal on one side of the pitch. “Bad luck girl, everyone is going away now.” Marc smiled to hisself. But the girl didn’t left. No, she changed her position to watch them better. Marc shaked his head to be more concentrated again. If he wouldn’t have his thoughts at the Footballs, he would get hit in his face very fast.
After 30 minutes the rest of the team came back to the pich again and they started with making some dribblings. Marc was now taking some weights and making his muscle training while Dirk got his special goalkeeper training. The girl still watched. As she saw that he looked to her, she smiled. He smiled back.
As the most people left the field, he made some more training. He always made more training than many of the other ppl in the team. He wanted to become better with each training. For sure he didn’t belive that he could become a professional player. But he wanted to become a well known goalkeeper at all footballers in that part of Stuttgart.

Wow, that girl must really have nothing to do.Marc smiled to hisself. After he finished with his training, Valentino told him that he would bring the training stuff, balls, a small band for training the muscles while trying to cath the ball and ome things like that. Marc walked to the seats. “Have you enjoied the training?”, he asked.
“Yes, it was nice.”, she answered.
“But why did you watched it one and a half hour?”
“Well, because I wanted to see your training. I saw some of your matches. You are playing good.”
“Thank you. I am becoming red soon., he laughed.
“It is true. And I saw you manytimes sitting in the soma.”
“You know much about me.”, he looked a little wondered.
“Don’t worry, I am not a dektektiv.”, she laughed. “I just saw you one time playing as I walked on the way next to the stadium and after two days I found you sitting and drinking a coffee. And well, I wanted to find out who you are.”
“Oh, I am happy to hear that.”, now he smiled more, if that was possible. “We could have a coffe or something like that if you want. Do you have time tomorrow?”, he asked.
“Oh, that would be so nice”, she looked really happy.
“At 4 pm?”
“Ok.”
“And, by the way, my name is Marc.”
“Oh, I am Sara.”
“Nice to meet you.”
“So see you tomorrow?”
“Yes. In the soma?”
“Ok, see you.”
On the way back he was happy. He didn’t went so much in discos or in bars. If you have to be in school o the next day or having a match at 11 am Saturdays you can’t stay long away from home. For sure, he was looking for girls, but he was very shy. On the pitch he was one of the loudest persons, but with girls it was a difference.And well, that girl looked not bad. No, she looked very nice.
As he came to the dressing room, only Seven other players were in it. Mostly the people who are mostly longer in the training. “Oh Marc, you got a girlfriend!”, Luca shouted.
“Jealious?”, Marc answered tough.
“No, I just wanna congratulate you.”
“Thank you.”
Marc went after the training home, dresses short up and went to the soma again to watch the match with the other guys. The match which was shown was Liverpool against Juventus Turin. Many people of the team wanted that Juventus win, but Liverpool got also much fans in the team. At least Liverpool won with 2:1. Liverpool wasn’t one of the best teams in the Premier League, but in the Champions League was Liverpool always one of the favorite Teams.
