Part 1
Of course I'm nervous as hell.
This morning, when I tried to get out of bed, I even hesitated a little. For a moment, I just wanted to stay in my warm bed and forget about it all.
Today, I'll play my first footballmatch with my new team. I've joined their trainings and drillings for the last two weeks and luckily they asked me on their team. I really wanted to join them because they play on a pretty high level, and the team is said to be very close. The boys are actually my friends already, they're all my type.
I push the door open and enter the lockerroom. It's pretty crowded already.
"Heya Matt!", Paul greets me. Immediatly, everybody stops changing their clothes and greets me.
When I've finally shaken everybody's hand, I drop my bag next to Rick.
"So, how do you feel man? Today is the big day! Your first real match with us!", he says.
"Oh, I'm okay. Coach said we can't do anything but beat these guys!", I play it cool.
"Yeah we should win today, absolutely. But aren't you nervous?"
"No, not at all actually, should I be? They aren't that good."
"I don't mean if you're nervous about the game. I mean if you're nervous about what happends when we've won? When we're back in the lockerroom..." says Rick, and he gives me a wink.
It takes a few seconds for me before I really understand what he means, but Rick has already left the lockerroom on his way to the field...
