The training session and everything regarding tactics and starting eleven had been taken care of, it was time for the players to start heading to the Reale Arena for their match against Manchester United which was going to kick off by 1:00 PM.
Dave and Mateo were in their room now getting ready to head off, they were putting everything that they were going to be needing in their backpacks and while they were doing that, Dave's phone began to ring on his bed where he had dropped it.
He quickly turned his gaze to the phone to see that the caller was Emma and for that reason, he didn't hesitate to pick up the call.
"Hey, babe, how're you doing?" He asked after putting the phone against his ear.
"I'm okay, what about you?" Her voice resounded through the phone's speaker.
"I'm fine, everything's okay over here." He replied.
"Okay, I just wanted to check on you, everything's okay here too, I just left for work now." She said, "Though the house is a bit lonely with only me here."
"Don't worry, we'll be back soon."
"I know." She said before letting out a sigh. "I love you."
"I love you too, take care, bye." He said before ending the call.
After ending the call, he turned his gaze to Mateo's side of the room to catch the winger looking at him strangely.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" He asked.
"It's nothing." Mateo shook his head before turning his gaze back to his bag.
After an hour and about thirty minutes on the bus, the players along with the few staff who had come along on the tour with them had finally arrived at the Reale Arena, Real Sociedad's official stadium.
"Wondanimo doesn't come close to this stadium in size," Dave said after looking around the area.
"You can say that again," Mateo said.
They quickly made their way inside and after being shown to their locker room, they began to change into their jerseys.
There was no time for pre-match warm-up on the pitch before going back to change so they had to change before heading off into the pitch.
There was no change in the design of the club's jersey so their home jersey was still the orange jersey with black polka dots and Dave's jersey was still the lemon-colored goalkeeper's kit.
He would have loved to play this match with his new boots and gloves from Footy Wears but he didn't make the journey here with them so he had to stick with his old gear until they returned home.
"Alright, boys, I know this is just a friendly but we have to take it seriously and show them what we got, winning against Manchester United will be something nice to brag about don't you guys think?" Norman said. "But it's not just about the bragging rights, it will also be a big boost of confidence and that's what we need this season so let's go out there and show them what we can do!"
The players met up with Manchester United players in the tunnel, the Manchester side were putting on their black away jersey and they seemed to have most of their star players there including their formidable shot-stopper Patti Moreno.
The goalkeeper seemed to be a little taller than Dave and he also had a bigger body, his black hair seemed to have grown a little long but it wasn't that long, and he had blue eyes.
"Patti Moreno." Dave muttered with his gaze on the well-established shot stopper.
"Welcome to our wonderful viewers from all around the world, it's your regular commentator Jim Waterson and I have with me in the studio here my regular co-commentator Mr. Steve Jefferson," Jim said as the players made their way to the pitch.
"It's really nice to be back here again after the two months break, I'm glad the action is back," Steve said.
"Well said, Steve, the action has begun and although it's just a friendly match, I have a feeling that we will be getting a lot of action from it."
There were a good number of fabs in the stands but most of them were Manchester United fans.
The routine for choosing sides was quickly done by both captains and after that, both teams moved to their side of the pitch.
Unique FC players moved to the left side of the pitch as they were going to be the ones to start the game.
The Bilbeth Premier League side were playing with their default formation of four-three-three and Norman was using his main starting eleven.
Dave was the one between the sticks, the right back position was occupied by Norman Kole, the center back positions by Adolf and Aima and the left back position by Jonas Blue, he was no longer part of the starting eleven but Norman just wanted to start him ahead of Roland Ryle today.
In midfield, we had Minino on the right, Harry Norman on the left, and Ferran in the attacking midfield position.
In attack, we had Mateo on the left wing as expected, Fred Miles in the striking position, and Carlos Oman on the right wing, the right winger had just made a full recovery from his injury which meant that Merino would start coming from the bench again.
Manchester United on the other hand were playing the four-four-two formation with two of their most formidable strikers up front, Rivaldo Noninho and Nolan Ray, the two combined to score a total of fifty goals in the English Premier League only last season.
'Alright, Dave, it's about to start, you have to try your best to not concede any goals and if you must concede, it must not be more than one.' The goalkeeper said subconsciously.
'Yeah.'
