Lamine Yamal

The stadium vibrates with the intensity of the World Cup. Spain and Paraguay face off in a match that has everyone on the edge of their seats. As the players head to the locker rooms during halftime, Lamine Yamal can't help but glance back at the Paraguayan bench.

Among the coaches, assistants, and analysts, there is only one woman. Seated next to the coaching staff, watching the game with absolute concentration, is Y/N, the daughter of coach Gustavo Alfaro. It's not the first time they've met; they had already met at a pre-World Cup event, exchanging just a few words that, to Lamine's surprise, he never forgot.

Without thinking too much, he takes advantage of the break and crosses the permitted area to approach her.

"Are you analyzing every play again?" he asks with a calm smile.

Y/N looks up, surprised to see him there, still wearing the Spanish jersey. Despite representing opposing teams, the conversation flows naturally. They talk about the match, the pressure of the World Cup, and how strange it is to find themselves on opposite sides of the field.

For a few minutes, the stadium noise disappears for both of them. Until the teams' call announces the start of the second half, and Lamine has to return to his teammates, giving them one last smile before going back onto the pitch.

"I guess we'll see each other at the end of the game..." he says, looking at her.
