CHAPTER 45: QUARTER-FINAL
That morning, all England players are having their final training before facing Spain in Euro 2020 Quarter-Finals in Rome.
"Spain, huh. After Germany" said Sancho.

"Yeah. But, it's not fun if it's easy, right Danny?" asked Kane.
"That's true" replied Danny.
"Will Ella be here?" asked Sterling.
"Hope so" replied Danny.
That night;
Danny is watching movie when he got a call from Becky.
Danny: Hi, sis.
Becky: Hi, baby bro. How you're doing?
Danny: I'm good, sis. How's your baby inside you?
Becky: Good. So, how do you feel about tomorrow?
Danny: Nervous a bit. It's Spain after all.
Becky: How many goals do you think you can score?
Danny: I don't know.
Becky: Really? This is the first time I heard you not confident at all.
Danny: It's not that I'm not. Sometimes, pressure get into my head. But, I think once I got the ball, I know what should I do.
Becky: Just like you. I always amazed of how you control the pressure inside your head. Anyway, just want to tell you that I'll bring mom and dad to the match tomorrow.
Danny: Really? Now I can't lose.
Becky: Yes. By the way, I need to go now.
Danny: Okay, sis. See you tomorrow.
Becky: Bye, baby bro. I love you.
Danny: Bye, sis. I love you too.
