With his future now sorted—a two-year loan to Borussia Dortmund—Daniel Arrazi felt a mix of excitement and apprehension. He knew that by the time his loan ended, he would be 19 and ready to make a significant impact on his return to Liverpool. But first, he had to pack his bags for a different journey: the 2011 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Mexico.
Packing and Goodbyes
Daniel carefully packed his outfits and belongings, ensuring he had everything he needed for his adventure in Mexico. The emotions of leaving home, albeit temporarily, were starting to hit him. As he zipped up his suitcase, he turned to his parents, who were standing by the door, watching him with pride and a hint of sadness.
Daniel's Father: "We're so proud of you, son. You're going to do great things at Dortmund and in Mexico."
Daniel's Mother: "Remember, we're always here for you. Call us whenever you need to. And don't forget to eat well and take care of yourself."
Daniel hugged his parents tightly, feeling their warmth and support.
Daniel: "I will. I promise. I'll make you both proud."
His parents drove him to St. George's Park, where the England U-17 team was gathering. The drive was filled with reminiscing and encouragement, making the farewell a bittersweet moment.
Arrival at St. George's Park
As Daniel entered the training building at St. George's Park, his teammates greeted him with applause. They had heard about his move to Dortmund and were genuinely happy for him, even though it meant he would be away for a while.
Pickford: "Congrats, Daniel! Dortmund is a great move for you."
Chalobah: "You're going to crush it there, mate."
Raheem Sterling approached him with a wide smile and pulled him into a hug.
Sterling: "You'll do well at Dortmund. Keep improving, and soon we'll win together."
Daniel smiled, feeling a surge of determination.
Daniel: "I promise, Raheem. I'll come back as a man who suits Liverpool."
Briefing from the England FA
The day was filled with activities and preparations for their upcoming journey. The England FA provided a detailed briefing on the tournament, covering everything from the venues to the teams they would face and the expectations for the squad.
FA Official: "We'll be playing in Group C against Uruguay, Canada, and Rwanda. Our first match is against Rwanda. This is a fantastic opportunity for you all to showcase your talent on the world stage. We expect nothing but your best effort."
The briefing was long, but essential. The players absorbed the information, knowing that they had to be fully prepared for the challenges ahead.
Boarding the Flight to Mexico
That night, the England U-17 team boarded their flight to Mexico. The excitement was palpable as they settled into their seats, dreaming of what lay ahead.
Sterling: "I can't wait to try real Mexican burritos."
Pickford: "I'm all about the tacos. We have to find the best taco place in town."
Daniel chuckled at the conversations around him, feeling a sense of camaraderie and anticipation. They were young boys, on the brink of a significant adventure, and the possibilities seemed endless.
As the plane took off, Daniel looked out the window, his thoughts a mix of excitement for the World Cup and determination to make the most of his loan at Borussia Dortmund. The journey was just beginning, and he was ready to face whatever came his way.
Daniel (thinking): "This is it. Time to show the world what I'm capable of."
With that resolve, Daniel settled into his seat, ready for the flight and the adventures that awaited him in Mexico.
