Licha Martinez and Cuti Romero

The National Team's training had ended a few minutes ago. Some players were still on the pitch practicing passes, while others were already heading to the locker room.

You were sitting on a cooler, watching your friend, Cuti Romero, laughing with the others after winning another one of his challenges. You were Julián's twin sister; Cuti and Licha were fighting over you, and they thought you didn't notice.

—Cuti played such a great game today... There's no one who defends like him. you told Scaloni, and the man just nodded and laughed before walking away.

Lisandro, who was passing by with a water bottle in his hand, stopped dead in his tracks and turned his head toward you.

Lisandro —Excuse me? Are you saying that because it's Romero, or because you actually didn't watch the game?

He let out a short laugh and crossed his arms.

Lisandro— Look, I've got your back, but every time you talk about him, it feels like the other ten of us are just here for decoration.

From a few meters away, Cuti overheard the conversation and smiled mischievously.

Cuti —Leave her alone, Licha. Some people just find it hard to accept who the best is.

Lisandro— Accept? Come here, Romero. Let's do twenty long passes, some one-on-ones, or whatever you want. Then we'll ask her if she still thinks the same.

Cuti burst out laughing as he continued walking toward them.

Cuti —Just don't make excuses when you lose.

Lisandro looked back at you with a challenging smile.

Lisandro —Well... tell me. Are you going to keep defending that fraud Romero, or are you finally going to admit that the best center-back is standing right in front of you?
