On The Bench

The goalkeeper was the first to get up as usual and after sitting up on his bed and stretching himself, he turned to Mateo to see that he was still fast asleep on his bed.

'Pre-season tour match day two.' The goalkeeper said subconsciously before getting up from his bed.

Today was the day, the day they were going to face Benfica at the Reale Arena but unlike the match against Manchester United, this one was going to be taking place in the evening by 4:30 PM, so they had a lot of time to train, get ready and get there on time.

The training session kicked off at 8:30 AM after they all had their breakfast.

The training lasted for about two hours before they returned to start getting ready for their trip to the Reale Arena.

Norman had not told anything about the match tactics and the players who were going to be starting yet but he told them he was going to do that as soon as they finished having their lunch.
