Could I make a request for Obi please?

They already have a established relationship.

With her recently getting injured, could it be something along the lines of Reader got injured a few months before the World Cup and had to miss it, but Obi mostly was there for Reader. Now with it being the other way around this time, Reader feels conflicted about going to the Olympics as see knows those first few weeks are the hard but she won’t be there to support Obi.

my home is with you

lena oberdorf x uswnt!reader (requested)

authors note: i'm sad about her injury :( I wanted to see her at the olympics and start with bayern soon.. I know she will come back stronger ❤️ here's your request! normally i wouldn’t decide to write about this because it’s so soon, but i do requests (unless it’s too dark & much) so i hope you like :)

warnings: many injury mentions, very long chapter.

being back in your hometown gave you a sense of peace and warmth.

you haven't stepped foot in washington dc since 2018. you left your childhood club to go play at gotham for a year-- before moving to lyon (2020-2022) and then bayern afterwards.

waking up in the morning, you wished obi the best of luck against her game against austria. yes, she will be your competitor in the group stages against germany, but she is still your girlfriend of 2 years.

afterwards, you put your phone on dnd and put it in your adidas bag that you will take to the audi stadium. on game days, the captain (lindsey) highly discourages the players being on social media before games.

as the second captain after her, you agreed to follow that rule. social media can be toxic.

if someone really wanted to reach out to you for an emergency, they can do it through lindsey, emma, or your sisters who came to the game to support your send off to paris.

that's exactly what happened. while you were getting ready in your hotel room-- lindsey got an emergency call from sara dabritz, her lyon teammate who played for the german national team.

sara isn't on the german roster for the olympics, but alex popp asked her to call lindsey-- since she needed you to know of the news as soon as possible.

"sara?" lindsey's eyebrows knitted together. sara calling her during international break and the off-season has never happened before.

"where's y/n?" sara asked, ignoring lindsey's confused tone.

"I haven't seen her since this morning, she might be getting ready now. what's going on?"

"the entire german team is trying to get ahold of y/n. lena went down pretty badly during todays game-- it was her knee." sara swallowed.

lindsey was sad to her about the news. nobody likes when another player goes down with a *possible* acl injury.

however, she was scared on how she was going to tell you the news.

hours later at audi stadium, you walked into the stadium alongside trinity and hal. both of them play on this field for washington spirit, and the three of you bonded over the last few days-- knowing washington dc so well.

trinity and hal stopped at a water fountain to fill up their empty stanley bottles with water. your owala bottle was filled with cold ice water already, so you continued on with walking into the dressing room.

as you turned the corner into the room, you hear your coach Emma, say something along the lines of "well we can't tell her until-" before lindsey stopped her with her finger pointing at your entrance.

you were the first to arrive before the rest of the team, surprising to the captain and coach talking in the room.

"hey!" you smiled, unaware of what they know.

"hey y/n, ready for the game!?" lindsey casually says with a smirk on her face.

the poker face of the lyon player is perfection. something could be wrong but as the main captain, she can't let her emotions take over her logic.

as the second captain of the team, you had every right to question what emma and lindsey were just talking about.

however, you didn't. you were too excited to play in your hometown again. many uswnt fans came just to see you play on your turf again.

"I'm so pumped! my family came just for the send off to paris. some of them talk about "oh we can't never see you play since you're in germany." but now they're here so-" you rambled as you giggled.

for a moment, emma frowned at your happy sight. lindsey turned around to look at the coach with a guilty look, hating that they both agreed to not tell you *that news* until the end of the send-off.

"that's exciting. I'm positive we have a great game ahead." emma says.

your happy mood became a miserable one at halftime. being nil-nil against costa rica was not motivating since you wanted to impress your hometown community.

in the 70th minute, you scored off of a set piece shot by mallory swanson. the crowd screamed as they've realized that it was you, their fellow dc native, that scored the goal.

the game ended with a 1-0. you knew that the team needed tons of things to work on if you wanted a chance at winning gold in the olympics, but that will come with time.

after the send off ceremony, lindsey asked if she could personally talk to you in one of the empty conference rooms.

you agreed. at first, you thought that she was going to discuss olympic matters and what will drive the team to win gold once you reach france. since she is the first captain and you're captain whenever she isn't-- along with alyssa naeher.

however, lindsey was very tense as you sat down beside her in one of the wheel chairs. she made sure to close and lock the door as well-- this is when your heart started racing.

she is your friend and hates to give you the bad news.

"I need to tell you this before you go on your phone and see it in the locker room in front of the other girls." lindsey speaks.

your eyes widened, confused.

"what's wrong?" you start to panic.

"alex-- alex popp-- said that lena went down during the game against austria. it's her knee, y/n."

your heart shattered into a million pieces. you looked away from lindsey as you took a few deep breaths.

the blonde understood why you couldn't say anything after that moment. you thought about lena having a possible acl injury.

you panicked knowing that you weren't there to help her.

"I need my phone!'" you jump up from the wheel chair.

"here." lindsey said, pulling your phone out of her jacket pocket. she made sure that she had your phone on hand-- in private-- so none of the other girls were alarmed about seeing you so upset.

after you switched your iphone off from dnd, you had nearly 200 notifications.

the first is lena's parents-- asking you to call them whenever you had time before or after your game.

others came from lea-- updating you on what's going on with obi. she understands you were playing a game and couldn't answer right away.

some messages were from other footballers in the community that you're friends with, asking you to send well wishes to lena on their behalf.

is this how lena felt back in 2023?

back in april 2023, you were a starter in the second game against Ireland.

you weren't feeling the greatest, your friend mallory suffered a bad injury in the first game and you knew she wouldn't see the pitch for a very long time.

in the second half as the ball was coming from the air, you jumped up to head the ball. at the same time, an Irish player's foot went up in the air to get the ball.

the sharp part of the boots kicked at your ribs extremely hard. your breath was caught in your throat and you landed on the ground-- injuring your ankle by landing awkwardly.

the irish player received a red card, but you were struggling to breath as you needed medic immediately. alex and kelley stayed with you as you couldn't even sit up without squealing in pain.

your ankle was on fire and your lung felt like it was beaten in. torture would've been an understatement.

lena finished playing the game against brazil when jule pulled her-- harshly-- to look at the tv in the dressing room.

the german girl watched in horror as she seen her lover on the grass, you were crying your eyes out as you balled yourself together.

she noticed your hands going back and forth between your torso by your right lung, and your left ankle, as the medics tried their best to figure out what's wrong.

"what the fuck happened?" lena said angrily, in english-- confused as she rushed to grab the remote and turn the tv up.

"this isn't good for the united states before the world cup-- mallory went down on the first game against ireland and now *reader's last name* can barely move without a reaction." a german commentator speaks.

the entire german dressing room looks in horror.

your bayern teammates looked horrified as jule tried her best to comfort a stressed lena.

a replay of the injury happened on the tv a second later. everyone could see quinn's cleat harshly kick your ribs-- the landing on your ankle afterwards made some of the dressing room cringe as if they could've felt it themselves.

"yeah, I don't think we will see her in the world cup after this one." the woman commentator on the tv speaks when a stretcher takes you off the pitch moments later.

lena was quick to immediately call your mom and sisters, since they were there and she wasn't.

she knew how excited you were to play in your second world cup after winning the first one at age 17.

when you got back home to germany, lena was there for you. you suffered with a broken rib and grade 2 ankle sprain.

obi helped you stand up most days and picked up heavy things, since you couldn't even breathe without feeling pain for the first three weeks. lena did your chores at home, helped you with showering (your ankle made that hard to do), she did your hair. she did everything to make sure that you were okay.

you couldn't go to the world cup and watch her play, but you were still so proud of her-- even if she got eliminated in the group stage.

the injury that happened to you made lena fully committed to wanting to marry you. even through your bad injury-- you were there to comfort her once she was back from australia after a failed world cup campaign.

back in the conference room in dc, you rushed to call lea.

she answered in a heartbeat, you were surprised since it had to have been 5:30am in germany while 11:30pm back in washington dc for you.

"lea?" your voice cracked. you hated this for lena, more than your own injury from a year prior.

"how was your game?" lea tried to calm you down.

"it was fine, now what happened?" you ask.

lea didn't take offense to you wanting to know what happened. this reminded her on how lena was with you.

being her closest friend at bayern, and the one that put lena onto you, she understands the bond you have with your girlfriend better than anyone else.

"lena tried to tackle and get the ball away from a player but her knee popped. I think you need to watch this for a better understanding." lea speaks.

on the FaceTime you can see lea typing on a few things on the phone.

you looked up at a confused, yet guilty lindsey. she felt bad for you since you were far from your home in germany.

the notification on your phone showed that lea sent a link to a twitter video. you clicked on it and watch the whole thing play out.

its hard to tell at first, but slowly you could see obi's knee pop out.

this made you sick to your stomach.

after talking to lea for a few more minutes, then waking up lena's parents to talk to them (they didn't mind, they really wanted to hear from you), then laura, then klara-- you were exhausted.

you were allowed to go on the bus early and choose if you wanted to sit alone on the way back to the hotel.

lindsey told all of the girls that something happened- she explained the situation which caused the girls to feel bad for lena and your situation.

you called lena, in private, once you were back in your hotel. she sounded so hurt which caused your eyes to let out tears (quietly) as she talked about her medical scanning tommorow.

many people would do anything to participate in the olympics. you were grateful to be a bronze-medal olympian already heading to seek gold-- but you wanted to go home to lena in munich.

the best player on the uswnt was you, no debate. after scoring in the 2019 world cup final at 17, winning two champions leagues with lyon, being the second best-player now in the bundesliga with bayern, and carrying the national team to bronze in the last olympics-- the team looked up to you.

the girls let you have your space for a while. even on the plane on the way to france.

tierna, your closest friend on the national team, sat beside you. she was quiet as she watched movies while you anxiously looked at your phone to receive some kind of news.

after the plane landed, the girls were quiet as they headed out. you realized that you couldn't sit in pain waiting for the day that you will get home to munich-- that will affect the team chemistry.

as you were in your hotel room, lena called you.

"hallo liebe." you spoke softly.

you heard lena cough before a few seconds of silence started.

the fact that lena called you instead of facetiming you, you knew it was bad. the three letter injury is something u feared for lena as your eyes widened.

"its both." lena mumbles.

"its both?" you question softly as you request to switch the call to FaceTime.

lena accepts and you see her in the hospital room, tears dried down her cheeks as her red face is covered by her hands.

"acl and mcl." she breathed out as she looked at you through the camera.

you frowned as reality hit.

lena couldn't start a bayern next month.

lena won't go to the olympics.

she will have to sit out for at least eight months.

you know she will be okay, since she has the team and medical doctors to help her heal.

however, you were sad that you couldn't drop everything to go back to munich.

"obi." is all you could say.

"I already know what you're thinking-- and don't." lena randomly says.

your eyebrows knit together in confusion as she looks at you with a unreadable look.

"don't leave your team just to come here. they need you-"

"but you need me a lot more." you cut lena off.

she knows you're right, but she can't be selfish-- even with her injury.

"you will be home soon liebe, I know you love me and will care for me as soon as you can." lena says.

"once I'm back in munich, I will be there for you. you aren't going through this alone-- we will fight through this together and you will be stronger." you gave a sad smile as lena smiles for the first time since she went down on that grass.

"Ich liebe dich" she whispers.

"Ich liebe dich auch" you say back.

"when is your surgery scheduled?" you ask.

"we don't have an exact date yet, but they said it might be the week of the 29th." lena says as she lays back in the hospital bed in her black shirt and black shorts.

you didn't respond as lena flipped the camera, showing you a closer look at her knee.

"I am so sorry." you say.

"its not your fault." lena says.

"I know- but again-- I just want to be there for you."

"and you will soon, don't abandon your team." lena made it clear.

"okay, I won't" you sigh.

of course you felt bad that you didn't want to be in france, but in germany instead helping lena. however, you were sad about the group stage match against germany.

lena and you talked about that match as being one of the last moments where you will be "rivals" before she joins you in the season for bayern. now, neither will happen.

days later, the united states plays germany in the group stage after beating zambia 3-2.

you were in the starting lineup. emma needed you for this match, making sure that you talked to a sports psychologist before this match-- just so you were mentally prepared.

you knew how the germans played, so you would be a key to winning the group stage match.

as the teams were going to take their starting eleven picture, you see the germans hold up a shirt in honor of sydney and lena-- who were injured and couldn't be in the olympics.

you sadly smiled at this, happy that they're remembering them.

however, you got your act together fast. lindsey wasn't in the lineup so you were the captain of the match.

at halftime, it was 1-1. trinity rodman scored a goal in the 10th minute but klara equalized in the 34th after an error from #3 on the USWNT.

in the second half, you scored a golazo in the 55th minute after dribbling around sara doorsoun and alex popp.

unfortunately, lea equalized in the 88th minute.

the game ended 2-2 and you weren't happy or sad about it.

all of the german girls greeted you immediately with hugs and kisses on the head. you accepted them. you missed them dearly and they were the closest thing you had to lena right now.

"lea love!" you sigh in relief when you hug her tightly for thirty seconds. the cameras capture the beautiful sight as most know the significance.

"I wish obi was here right now." you lean your head on lea's shoulder as she kissed the side of your head, above your left ear.

"I do too. I hate how fate works." lea speaks through her german accent.

"same." you roll your eyes. not in anger, but in disappointment for the situation and how things can play out for the worst.

"how are you?" lea asks.

"can I be honest?" you ask. lea nods her head.

"I want to be with her. I am so grateful to be here for a second time but I can't imagine her being alone without us." you whisper into her ear.

you didn't want any of your teammates to hear you. lea is your closest friend so you know she won't tell on you.

"she's not alone, she has her parents-- but I totally understand. she will be okay." lea smiles lightly as she pulls a piece of hair of yours behind your ear, a piece of hair that fell out of your ponytail during the match.

lea is right, lena's parents are staying with her at the new house you both own until you can go back to munich-- which could happen in a few days or weeks depending on the outcome of the olympics.

"I know. she's a fighter.' you smirk.

"and a lover." lea winked at you.

lea loves the way that you and lena respect and are in-love with each other. being the third wheel is annoying sometimes (when she has to hang out with y'all instead of her own girlfriend) but she is happy for the both of you.

after multiple matches of the olympics, the united states is awarded silver after losing against france 2-1 in the final.

you were the one that scored against france.

if you said that you weren't in a rush to get home to munich, you'd be lying.

lena's surgery was pushed back to this morning. so you took the uber straight to the hospital from the airport.

the taller german was asleep as you quietly walked into the hospital room. obi's parents hugged you and congratulated you on silver.

knowing that they've been with their daughter for many days, you offer them a break.

"you guys should go down to the cafe and grab lunch for yourselves, please don't take offense to this but ihr seht beide sehr müde aus." (you both look very tired) you whisper since you didn't want to wake lena.

they loved you like their own daughter, so it didn't take them much convincing for them to get a break-- knowing their daughter was in safe hands with you.

when they shut the hospital doors behind them, lena woke up from the noise.

you took out a blanket from your carry on luggage, your back faced towards lena so you didn't see or hear her wake up.

"liebe?" you turned around quickly when you saw lena awake.

she had the same tired look that you're used to seeing when you wake up beside her, but she was smiling at your sight.

you pout in happiness as you walked up to hug her upper body.

"my sunshine, I'm so happy to see you awake." you kissed the top of her forehead as her head pressed against your chest.

lena closed her eyes in comfort, she missed you the most.

"to see me awake? omg I didn't die." lena laughed.

"oh lena shut it, you know what I meant." you giggled back, happy to see lena cracking a joke through her pain.

you look down her body to see the scar on her knee peak out from her hospital gown.

on the inside, you felt terrible. you hated seeing lena in pain. you'd rather it be yourself than her.

on the outside, you looked at lena as she gave you a peak on the lips.

after that, you saw the ponytail of her hair tangled.

"hold on lena." you pull yourself away from her arms and reach into your tote bag.

"no don't leaveeee!" lena says

"I'm not I'm just going to help you with your hair-- it will help you relax."

you pulled out a soft brush from your bag, refusing to use a comb and risk pulling on her hair after she had surgery.

"you're so sweet" lena looks at the brush in your hand and turns her head to the side, so you have better access.

"anything for my baby." you tell her as you kiss the right side of her temple.

"i'm just glad to be back home." you mumble as you start brushing through obi's hair, getting the tangles out slowly and softly.

"isn't washington dc your home?" lena giggled, joking and teasing about the game you played in dc almost a month ago.

"nope, my home is with you."

I hope you're happy with what I wrote from this request! #comebackstrongerlenaoberdorf ❤️🙌

The Chancellor: The Remarkable Odyssey of Angela Merkel (Kati Marton, 2021)

"In 2012 the chancellor attended the G8 summit at Camp David, the rustic presidential retreat located an hour north of Washington, DC, while the European Soccer Championship Finals were taking place in Munich, where Britain’s Chelsea Football Club was playing Bayern Munich.

Prior to the summit, Merkel had asked President Obama for a TV set to be installed near the conference room.

“I kept the chancellor informed by text messages about the score,” said her national security advisor, Christoph Heusgen.

“When Bayern got a penalty shot, she could no longer stay in the conference room and joined me in front of the TV set.”

Gradually, the other leaders followed her (including British prime minister David Cameron, French president François Hollande, and Manuel Barroso, president of the European Commission).

Finally, President Obama appeared and asked, “Did we come here for the G8 or to watch soccer?”

To which the chancellor answered, “To watch soccer.” 

After Chelsea broke a 1–1 overtime deadlock with a dramatic penalty shot, Merkel hugged Cameron.

Obama’s German interpreter, Dorothee Kaltenbach, growled, “Scheisse” (“Shit”), to which Obama responded with a smile, “That’s the only German word I know.”

According to former EU foreign minister Catherine Ashton, the normally serious chancellor even “sometimes walked into EU meetings with her earphones on, listening to a soccer match.”"

Il nuovo EA Sports FC 24, l'addio a fifa

Oltre 30 anni di onorata carriera ma per il videogioco calcistico il nome FIFA va in pensione. La fine dell'accordo di licenza con la federazione mondiale del calcio permette alla EA Sports di rinnovare il suo gioco di punta per quanto riguarda i videogiochi sportivi. A breve, infatti, potremo giocare al nuovo capitolo di questo leggendario titolo ed il suo nome sarà "EA Sports FC 24". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vL01jbgENE Quando esce EA Sports 2024? La fine dell'accordo di licenza con FIFA ha permesso alla EA Sports di regalare ai suoi fan una piccola rivoluzione al suo gioco più famoso. Il videogioco di calcio per eccellenza è un dibattito sempre vivo tra i fan della EA e quelli della Konami con il gioco eFootball (prima conosciuto come PES, Pro Evolution Soccer). Dal 29 Settembre, però, un "nuovo" capitolo verrà scritto visto che sarà la data di pubblicazione di "EA Sports 2024". Quali sono le squadre con licenze ufficiali nel "nuovo FIFA"? La lotta per il primato di miglior gioco di calcio si svolge soprattutto sul piano delle licenze ovvero gli accordi che permettono a determinato gioco di avere a disposizione nomi, maglie e stemmi di una determinata squadra. A suon di esclusive e non, i due giochi lottano fortemente ma la domanda sorge spontanea: quali sono i club presenti con licenza ufficiale su EA Sports 2024? Premier League - Arsenal - Aston Villa - Bournemouth - Brentford - Brighton - Burnley - Chelsea - Crystal Palace - Everton - Fulham - Liverpool - Luton Town - Manchester City - Manchester United - Newcastle - Nottingham Forest - Sheffield United - Tottenham - West Ham - Wolverhampton EFL Championship - Blackburn Rovers - Blackpool - Bristol City - Burnley - Cardiff City - Coventry City - Huddersfield Town - Hull City - Luton Town - Middlesbrough - Millwall - Norwich City - Preston North End - Queens Park Rangers - Reading - Rotherham United - Stoke City - West Bromwich Albion - Wigan Athletic Barclays Women’s Super League - Chelsea - Arsenal - Aston Villa - Brighton - Bristol City - Everton - Leicester City - Liverpool - Manchester City - Manchester United - Tottenham Hotspur - West Ham United Ligue 1 - LOSC - OGC Nice - Olympique de Marseille - Paris Saint Germain D1 Arkema - Olympique Lyonnais - PSG - Paris FC - FC Fleury 91 - Montpellier HSC - Stade De Reims - Girondins de Bordeaux - Le Havre AC - En Avant De Guingamp - Dijon FCO - Rodez Aveyron - ASJ Soyaux Bundesliga - Bayern Monaco - Borussia Dortmund - RB Leipzig - Union Berlin  - Freiburg - Bayer Leverkusen - Eintracht Francoforte - Wolfsburg - Mainz 05 - Borussia Monchengladbach - Koln - Hoffenheim - Werder Bremen - Bochum 1848 - Augsburg - Stuttgart - Darmstadt 98 - Heidenheim 1846 Frauen-Bundesliga - Bayern Monaco - Wolfsburg - Eintracht Francoforte - 1899 Hoffenheim - Bayer 04 Leverkusen - SC Frieburg - SGS Essen - Werder Bremen - Koln - MSV Duisburg - SV Meppen - FFC Turbine Potsdam Serie A Tim - Bologna - Cremonese - Empoli - Fiorentina - Hellas Verona - Juventus - Lecce - Salernitana - Sampdoria - Sassuolo - Spezia - Torino  - Udinese Ekstraklasa - Lech Poznan Cinch Premiership - Celtic - Rangers LALiga Santander - Alvas - Almeria - Athletic Bilbao - Atletico Madrid - Barcellona - Celta Vigo - Cadiz - Getafe - Girona - Granada Las Palmas - Real Mallorca - Osasuna - Rayo Vallecano - Real Betis - Real Madrid - Real Sociedad - Sevilla - Valencia - Villareal Liga F - Athletic Bilbao - Atletico Madrid - Barcellona - Levante Las Planas - Granada - Levante - Madrid CFF - Real Betis - Real Madrid - Real Sociedad - SD Eibar - Sevilla - Sporting Club Huelva - UDG Tenerife - VCF Femenino - Villareal MLS - Atlanta United - Austin FC - Charlotte FC - Chicago Fire - Colorado Rapids - Columbus Crew - DC United - FC Dallas - Houston Dynamo - Inter Miami CF - LA Galaxy - Minnesota United FC - Nashville SC - New England Revolution - New York City FC - New York Red Bulls - Orlando City SC - Philadelphia Union - San Jose Earthquakes - Seattle Sounders FC - Sporting Kansas City - Toronto FC - Vancouver Whitecaps FC National Women’s Soccer League - North Carolina Courage - Portland Thorns FC - NJ/NY Gotham FC - OL Reign - Washington Spirit - San Diego Wave - Racing Louisville - Orlando Pride - Houston Dah - Angel City FC - Chicago Red Stars - Kansas City Current https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhP3Xh4LMA8 Quali sono le coppe ed i campionati licenziati su EA Sports 24?

Rúben Amorim entre os melhores

A qualificação para os quartos-de-final da Liga Europa frente ao Arsenal parece ter catapultado Rúben Amorim para um maior prestígio entre os jovens treinadores da Europa. Apesar do Sporting estar longe de fazer uma boa temporada (onde apenas procura um lugar europeu na posição de campeão e sonha com a Liga Europa), o jogo nos Emirados frente aos líderes da Premier League, que resultou na passagem dos Leões às grandes penalidades, chamou ainda mais atenção o jovem treinador português, também por várias vezes nomeado para Inglaterra. Desta vez, o destaque vai para a revista Four Four Two, que classifica Rúben Amorim entre os melhores treinadores do mundo com menos de 40 anos. Intitulado “As melhores Fergies, mini-Mourinhos e Guardiolas do jardim de infância”, é certo que Amorim surge no segundo lugar, num pódio liderado por Julian Nagelsmann (Bayern de Munique) e Domenico Tedesco (sucessor de Roberto Martínez na seleção belga). Em sétimo e último lugar está o famoso Rooney, agora treinador do DC United.

Percurso de Amorim

Rúben Amorim é um treinador de futebol português que se destacou no cenário do futebol português ao conduzir o Sporting Clube de Portugal ao título da Primeira Liga Portuguesa na temporada 2020-2021. Antes de se tornar treinador, Amorim teve uma carreira de sucesso como jogador profissional de futebol em Portugal, tendo jogado por clubes como Benfica, Braga e Belenenses. Como treinador, Amorim é conhecido por sua abordagem tática inovadora, que é baseada num sistema de jogo 3-4-3 com variações ofensivas e defensivas. Ele também é conhecido por ser um treinador muito exigente com os seus jogadores, enfatizando a importância da disciplina tática e do trabalho em equipa. Além disso, Amorim é elogiado por sua capacidade de motivar os seus jogadores e criar um ambiente positivo no vestiário. Ele é considerado um dos treinadores mais promissores do futebol português e tem sido objeto de interesse de clubes estrangeiros devido ao seu sucesso no Sporting.

Rúben Amorim nasceu em Lisboa, Portugal, no dia 27 de janeiro de 1985. Rúben Amorim começou a sua carreira como jogador de futebol nas categorias de base do Benfica, um dos maiores clubes de Portugal. Ele estreou na equipa principal do Benfica em 2008, e logo se tornou uma peça importante no meio-campo da equipa. Depois de três temporadas no Benfica, Amorim transferiu-se para o Sporting Braga, onde também se destacou como um jogador versátil e tático. Em 2015, Amorim assinou com o clube Belenenses, onde jogou por duas temporadas antes de se aposentar como jogador devido a lesões frequentes. Após a sua aposentadoria, ele decidiu se tornar treinador e rapidamente começou a se destacar na profissão. Amorim começou a sua carreira como treinador nas categorias de base do Braga, antes de ser promovido para treinador assistente da equipa principal. Em março de 2020, ele foi contratado pelo Sporting Clube de Portugal como treinador principal, e imediatamente implementou a sua abordagem tática inovadora na equipa. Na temporada 2020-2021, Amorim liderou o Sporting Clube de Portugal ao título da Primeira Liga Portuguesa, interrompendo a sequência de títulos do Porto e do Benfica. A sua gestão bem-sucedida e abordagem tática inovadora chamaram a atenção de clubes estrangeiros, mas ele decidiu ficar no Sporting para continuar a construir um projeto a longo prazo no clube.

Allemagne Coupe du Monde : Qui seront les joueurs selectionnés ?

L'Allemagne aborde la prochaine Coupe du Monde dans le costume d'un des grands favoris. La Mannschaft a souvent déçu dans les grandes compétitions ces dernières années. Les joueurs ont à cœur de se racheter et faire le meilleur parcours possible. Hansi Flick devra composer la liste définitive des joueurs qui iront au Qatar pour viser le titre mondial. Les certitudes de la liste de l'Allemagne pour la Coupe du Monde Le sélectionneur de l'équipe nationale allemande, Hansi Flick, a vingt-six places à offrir pour sa liste de joueurs. Normalement, l'ossature de l'équipe devrait déjà être connue après les derniers matchs de Ligue des Nations. L'Allemagne n'a pas particulièrement rassuré dans ses dernières prestations. Vingt-six, c'est trois places de plus que lors des précédentes Coupes du monde. Cela correspond au même nombre de joueurs appelés lors de l'Euro. Cette fois-ci, tous les joueurs figureront sur la feuille de match, avec cinq remplacements autorisés au lieu de trois. Lire aussi : Coupe du monde 2022 : L'Allemagne engage une experte du sommeil Nous allons maintenant nous pencher sur la sélection de l'équipe.  Certains joueurs semblent déjà avoir leur place et sont quasiment certains de faire partie de la liste de Hansi Flick. Nous commencerons par une équipe de deux joueurs pour chaque poste : GB Manuel Neuer (Bayern) Marc-André ter Stegen (Barcelone) DG David Raum (RB Leipzig) Robin Gosens (Inter) DC Antonio Rudiger (Real Madrid) Nico Schlotterbeck (Dortmund) DC Niklas Süle (Dortmund) Mats Hummels (Dortmund) DD Lukas Klostermann (Leipzig) Thilo Kehrer (PSG) MDF Joshua Kimmich (Bayern) Anton Stach (Mayence 05) MC Ilkay Gündoğan (Man City) Léon Goretzka (Bayern) MG Jamal Musiala (Bayern) Leroy Sané (Bayern) MO Thomas Muller (Bayern) Marco Reus (Dortmund) MD Jonas Hofmann (Gladbach) Serge Gnabry (Bayern) AC Timo Werner (Chelsea) Kai Havertz (Chelsea) La forme des joueurs Gosens a à peine joué depuis son retour de blessure avec l'Inter Milan. S'il retrouve son excellente forme de 2019-21, le latéral gauche offensif devrait être un choix facile. Hummels a été éloigné de l'équipe nationale pour gérer un problème persistant au genou. Il possède toujours des qualités de haut niveau et compléterait un contingent défensif du BVB. Sinon, Jonathan Tah (Bayer Leverkusen) sera le favori. Lire aussi : Blessures Coupe du monde 2022 : Les dernières mises à jour ! Stach a percé la saison dernière, sa première en Bundesliga. Flick semble se projeter avec lui, mais il devra continuer à progresser. Reus, comme Hummels, a dû batailler contre les blessures. Après avoir manqué l'EURO de l'année dernière, Reus a été blessé lors des quatre matchs de la Ligue des Nations en juin. Il n'en reste pas moins l'un des attaquants les plus doués et les plus décisifs d'Allemagne, qui sait aussi finir le travail. Kevin Trapp, de Francfort, devrait se battre contre Bernd Leno pour le poste de troisième gardien. Allemagne Coupe du Monde : Les places qui restent à prendre ? On peut aisément imaginer comment l'Allemagne pourrait utiliser les trois places flexibles pour compléter son effectif : Un RB offensif : Thilo Kehrer est un couteau suisse à travers la ligne défensive. Il peut joueur au poste d'arrière gauche et inverser l'asymétrie. Ridle Baku, du VfL Wolfsburg, a été écarté depuis l'automne dernier, de manière quelque peu inexplicable. Benjamin Henrichs, du RB Leipzig, n'a pas complètement brillé à sa place. Un numéro 9 plus traditionnel : La recherche se poursuit sans qu'il y ait de solution claire. Lukas Nmecha, de Wolfsburg, a la cote pour le moment. L'attaquant monégasque Kevin Volland est toujours dans les parages et tentera d'obtenir une chance de jouer autrement qu'en tant qu'ailier. Lire aussi : Gains Coupe du Monde 2022 : Quelles sont les sommes en jeux ? La troisième place est largement ouverte : Un défenseur supplémentaire qui peut aussi jouer comme sentinelle, On a Robin Koch (Leeds United) ou Emre Can (Dortmund), qui étaient à l'EURO de l'année dernière. Un attaquant expérimenté, comme Julian Draxler (PSG) ou Julian Brandt (Dortmund). Ou un jeune attaquant rapide comme Karim Adeyemi (Dortmund). Flick ajustera l'équilibre de son équipe en décidant où appliquer les renforts supplémentaires. Nos trois favoris ? Baku, Nmecha, Brandt. Créateur fluide et technique, Brandt est en train de trouver sa voie au BVB (9 buts, 10 passes décisives). Son entrée contre la Hongrie a été bref, mais assuré. Il peut jouer CM, AM et ailier. Les potentielles surprises de cette liste ? Jonathan Burkardt, de Mayence 05 est un attaquant énergique et capitaine de l'équipe des moins de 21 ans. Il n'a pas encore été appelé en équipe nationale A, mais il a marqué onze buts la saison dernière et n'aura que 22 ans. Le Bayern s'intéresse fortement à lui, car son contrat expire en 2024. Par ailleurs, Mario Götze fait son retour en Bundesliga avec l'Eintracht Francfort. Le retour du héros de la Coupe du monde 2014 serait une histoire de come-back symbolique et mérité.

one shot with one heart

lena oberdorf x uswnt!reader

summary: what if germany and the united states made it to the semi-finals of the 2023 world cup? how would the two lovers handle it?

disclaimer/warnings: guilt, longer fic, i took real life events from the uswnt vs sweden match, and mallory never got injured before the world cup in this fic.

to you, the stadium could’ve stretched for miles filled with red, white, and blue colors– also white, red, orange, and black colors. 

one of the semi-finals of the 2023 women's world cup came down to germany and the united states. the other game involves australia and spain. 

you didn’t care so much about the oceania country and spanish country going head-to-head. at least for now. the world cup has taken over your mind for the last few months.

back in your home in munich, you pushed yourself during your games in the bundesliga. you’ve been with bayern munich since 2021, after a transfer from manchester city. at first, it took some months for you to settle in a new place. you’ve been away from your hometown of washington dc for many years, so readjusting wasn’t new to you. 

then, you’ve made friends with your entire team. your closest friends being lea, sydney, and giulia– until georgia and sam tagged along in the later seasons. 

lea schuller, your bestest friend, threw a small gathering at her apartment on a winter night in 2022. at first, you didn’t want to go. you had many chores that needed to be finished in your apartment– laundry, dishes, vacuuming– you name it. however, you suffered from a tiny case of FOMO. you decided to go at the last minute. 

as you were walking into lea’s apartment, you saw two girls that you knew from wolfsburg. being the only non-german in the room you were surprised. lea introduced you to jule and lena– since you’ve never talked to them before. except for clashes during the rivalry games. 

lena and you hit it off right away. everyone noticed how neither of you could leave the other alone. a month after talking- which happened to be a week after your birthday– lena came to visit you from wolfsburg and asked you to be her girlfriend. you said yes– and you guys have been happy since. 

the long-distance between wolfsburg and munich hasn’t been as hard as you guys have suspected. you both hoped that you will be closer together someday. 

now the game between germany and the united states ended in a 3-3. lea scoring a brace and alex popp with a goal for germany— sophia smith, lynn williams, and you scoring one goal for the united states. 

the semi-finals needed a winner. so after no goals for both sides in extra time, the game came down to penalty kicks.

andi sullivan, number 17, takes the first shot in the penalty match. you look ahead, not wanting to blink in case you missed something big. 

she scores! you let your arms wrapped behind mallory and sophia go as you clapped in support. you didn’t want to celebrate too much, since this penalty match can go either way. 

you turn your head to see your bayern teammate, giulia, stand at the penalty spot. you swallow in nervousness as you hated to wish that she missed. 

giulia scores! you hear all of the german girls, just 20 feet to your left– support your club teammate as she runs back to her line with a light smile. 

you look down at the grass before seeing your national team captain, lindsey, go up to kick. 

in your heart, you knew that lindsey wouldn’t miss. after her swift kick, you clapped in support knowing that you were right. 

alexandra popp took a shot and didn’t miss, which caused your breathing to slow a tiny bit. you were nervous. even though you won the world cup at the age of 18 in 2019– you are ambitious and want your second by 22.

as kristie stepped up, you had a faint smile. the mewis sisters were the older sisters you wished you had as the older sibling of your own family. a small amount of hope shined through your fears as you saw the back of kristies head look forward at berger. 

kristie scores! you pump your fists into the air as she runs back to the run with you. this time, she high-fives your hands before falling back into line. now, she is beside you on your right– with mallory to your left side. 

you were distracted at the thought of kristies penalty kick– so your eyes widened when you saw your bestfriend at bayern– sydney– go and take the penalty shot next. again, you felt guilty about wanting her to miss the goal.

and then she did. sydney’s foot launched the ball far into the crowd which made you relieved. the germans in the crowd sigh as the americans cheered. in your heart, you wanted to comfort her– in your mind, you were relieved that she missed. 

mallory’s right arm slowly leaves your waist as she heads towards the penalty spot. she was next. 

“you got this swanson!” you yelled, hoping that she heard you over the loud crowd. she is one of your best friends on the national team and you knew a goal would lift her nervous spirit. 

she didn’t get it, she missed. your heart dropped to your stomach as mallory walked back into line beside you. the ball she kicked was successfully blocked by berger on the right corner.

klara, one of your bayern teammates you love, goes to take a penalty kick. she missed which caused the german crowd to sigh in disappointment. 

all of your fans, friends, and family knew that you weren't enjoying this. in fact, you would’ve preferred a 90 minute game with a clear winner over this climactic scene. 

lena’s parents saw you briefly before the semi-final game and wished you luck. they’ve looked and loved you like one of their own. obi’s mother saw the nervous look in your eyes and reminded you that they would still love you even if you beat germany. 

you have the same nervous eyes looking ahead at sophia smith going to take the penalty. your stomach turns and your eyes widen at the realization of her kick. 

if sophia scores, the uswnt goes to the world cup finals. the entire country is looking at sophia on their tv screens. you can’t imagine how that would feel on the girl who's months older than you. 

when the ball goes above the goalpost, you frown as sophia covers her face with her hands. at first, you thought she started crying. you weren’t too far off. sophia tried to cover her sad looks with a poker face that wasn’t working. 

after she got back in line– on the opposite side of mallory from you– you reached your arm from behind and patted on sophia’s back. you wished you could’ve done more in that moment. 

your heart beats hard as you look ahead at your lover jog to take the kick for germany. you find yourself glued to your spot, a knot of nervousness tightening in your stomach. 

you want to cheer for your girlfriend, to hope she scores, but the conflict within you is undeniable. a small part of your mind, the part driven by the fierce desire and competitiveness to see your team advance, wishes for her to miss. 

the guilt that accompanies that thought is overwhelming, making it hard to breathe. some of your teammates tilt their heads through the line to try and look at you– seeing a nervous and guilty look plastered on your face. 

kristie and mallory, standing beside you on both sides, notice your inner turmoil through your clenched jaw. 

kristie glances at you, her eyes filled with understanding. she knew the feeling after facing australia in the olympics against sam. however, she couldn’t imagine a scenario where penalty kicks were involved.  

she already had her arm wrapped around your back, so she takes her hand and squeezes your shoulder gently, a silent gesture of support that steadies you momentarily. you’re reminded that your teammates do acknowledge you and the significance of lena being on the opposite team from you. 

lena is your rival on the club level, but that is nothing compared to a world cup semi-final.

on the other side of your body, mallory does the same thing kristie did, her hand resting reassuringly on your lower back.

you stare at lena’s body the entire time, refusing to blink. lena takes a deep breath, and you do the same, feeling the tension grow tighter within you. 

obi steps forward, striking the ball cleanly. for a fleeting moment, you hope, and you fear— you feel everything all at once.

when the ball passes alyssa’s fingers, going into the back of the net– lena jumps and yells in celebration as she jogs back to her teammates. you look at her the entire time with a straight face, but your eyes showed your small happiness for her. 

you love her so much. seeing her happy makes you happy, even with these circumstances. 

alyssa removes herself from the goal-post line and goes to the penalty spot. the older woman told you about her love for taking penalties before. the woman in green gave you a sense of confidence. 

“come on alyssa!” you yell as your teammates yell in encouragement for her. 

as her shot sprints past ann’s fingers, going into the net, you pump your fists into the air knowing that you trusted your goalkeeper to score.

now the penalties are 4-3. this terrified you. 

on the lineup, you were the penalty kicker that went after alyssa. as an attacking midfielder, you were good at penalty kicks. if the next kicker, which looks to be svenja huth walking to the penalty spot, misses— the fate of the uswnt going to the world cup final depends on you. 

you silently curse at the scriptwriters who could make this shit up. y/n, the american girl who plays in a german club and has a bunch of friends on the german national team along with the love of her life, might have to crush their dreams of being in a world cup final.

svenja’s shot was blocked by alyssa. the ball slammed right into alyssa’s gloved fingers. your heart sunk to your stomach and suddenly, your legs felt like lead that could snap in one wrong move. 

the weight of the semi-final settles on your shoulders. it's your turn, and the realization hits you— if you score, the uswnt will advance to the world cup finals, possibly leading to their fifth win ever. 

your entire team on the pitch yells words of encouragement at you. 

“you got this, y/l/n!!!” you hear julie ertz’s voice. 

“we love you!” naomi gave you reassurance. 

all of your german teammates felt fear in their bodies as they saw you walk up to position the ball on the penalty spot. out of anyone that could take the deciding shot, they were shocked that it was you. you can handle pressure, but not as much as others can. 

lena swallowed on nothing as she stared at you, the same way you stared at her taking the shot. instead, she knows that you will win the game if you make the goal. 

she knows what's at stake, both for her team and for yours. the wolfsburg midfielder is questioning how you’re handling the pressure. the tension in the stadium is suffocating, and she can feel every heartbeat echoing in her chest. 

her teammates notice her tension, offering silent pats on the back the same way the uswnt did for you with her kick, but lena barely registers them.

she bites her lip, her hands clenched tightly together, her gaze fixed solely on you as if you were the only one in the stadium. 

the stadium is a cauldron of noise. the german supporters are trying to distract y/n while the american supports hold their breaths due to the intensity of the situation. 

you managed to block it all out, focusing on ann-katrin berger, germany's goalkeeper. her eyes lock onto yours as she gives you an intimidating look, a silent challenge passing between you.

"this could be it, folks. it all comes down to y/n l/n. one goal to send the united states to the world cup finals for the fifth time." a male commentator speaks to the tv audience, where millions of people have their eyes watching your every move.

"y/n has been phenomenal this tournament. her goal from outside the box earlier could be nominated for goal of the tournament, but can she handle this pressure? this is the moment where the legends are made." the female commentator speaks up alongside the man. 

“she was just 18 years old when she assisted rose lavelle’s goal in the last world cup final against the netherlands, she has the quality that can send the united states to another win.” the male commentator defends you. 

"that's true– but we know that ann-katrin berger has been solid for germany. will she rise to the occasion or will y/n find a way through?" the woman responds. 

the world seems to slow down as you take your steps back, your mind focused solely on the goal ahead. the stadium seems to stop as you begin your run-up, each step is measured, and your heart pounds in your chest.

“y/l/nnn!” the commentator drags your last name as your foot strikes the ball cleanly, watching as it sails toward the goal. 

ann dives, her fingers brushing the ball as it was stopped over the goal-line. from your eyes, it looks like the ball went over the line. however, you know you’re biased. 

your heart stops for a quick second—did she save it? the ball did hit the ground just behind the line, and the stadium erupts in a series of shock.

your shaky hands cover your dropped jaw as you stare at the ball that lays behind the net. 

ann and you run to the assistant ref who stands closeby, ready to protest your sides. 

"was it in? did it cross the line?" you begged through for shaky hands. your lungs force itself to take deep breaths as you felt tortured, 

"the referee is checking var now, wait!"

you stand frozen as your eyes couldn’t even blink, your heart in your throat. 

the referee waits for confirmation as her fingers hold onto her ear-piece, the seconds stretching into what feels like an eternity. 

the first thing you do is turn to look at your coach, who nods his head in support. he knew you made it, but the refs made the final call. 

suddenly, you look back to see the ref staring at you. at the same second she blows the whistle and points to the center circle—- FINAL GOAL! 

all of the nervousness in your body was replaced with an overwhelming rush of relief. your teammates on the pitch and benches sprint towards you in excitement after hearing the whistle. 

some of them tackle you to the ground and they all start a pile in excitement. their cheers echoing in your ears as they embrace you. all you could do was giggle and tear up in excitement, the nerves overwhelming your tired body.

on the other side of the pitch, the germans stand in shock–. their faces are a mix of shock and sorrow, the dream of reaching the world cup final snatched away in that single moment by their bestfriend and girlfriend for lena. 

your closest national teammates, trinity, tierna, and mallory, are the first to reach you after, their faces alight with joy. this is ten minutes after the VAR call, so you calmed down from the excitement that took over your body. 

they embrace you tightly in a group hug, shouting praises, songs and congratulations. 

as they pull back from your warm body, they notice the fake smile on your face. through your eyes they can see the guilt and sadness etched on your face. also, they reflected the inner turmoil you’re struggling to hide throughout this happy moment.

"y/n, we're going to the fuckinggggg final thanks to you!" trinity exclaims, hoping that she misunderstood the look on your face. her smile fades slightly as she sees your smile come and go in the same moment.

tierna places a comforting arm around your shoulder. "are you okay? you don't look happy for someone who just sent us to the world cup finals."

mallory, always perceptive, follows your gaze to the german benches, where lena sits in denial– beside laura freigang who has tears in her eyes. 

“you're sad about lena?"

you nod, your heart felt heavy. your national teammates knew how in love you were with lena. they’ve heard about her throughout your international breaks. there is never a day where you aren’t on facetime with lena when you’re back in the states for camp. they’ve met lena once and love how much you both care for each other. 

"i– i just know how much this meant to her— i feel like i just snatched something important from her." you say as your eyes wander around the german benches. you see many of your bayern teammates sad, you hope they didn’t hate you. 

 

“i’m scared too– you guys might be my teammates here but most of the girls over there are my club teammates in germany. I don't know what to do.” you confess.

the washington spirit forward pulls you into a side hug. "awhh sweetie it's okay to feel that way. your feelings are valid but thi is just the nature of the game. they all know that– lena understands that, even if it's hard for them right now."

you bite your nails out of bad habit as you stare at tierna’s cleats unintentionally, “i might give obi space for a few days– i don’t want to poke into the wound.” you mumble. 

"no no no! you need to go to her. lena needs you right now more than ever even if you think that she doesn’t. she loves you."

mallory nods her head in agreement after taking a sip from her water bottle. 

"obviously it's going to be tough for her to move on from this loss, but she knows you're not her enemy. she knows that you might feel guilty as much as she feels hurt. she needs her love right now, not her american opponent."

after a few more minutes of girl talk, your heart pounds as your feet carries you to the german benches, fear taking over your insides. 

what if she resents you for this? what if the loss drives a wedge between you?

you gripped onto your black windbreaker jacket as you step closer to the benches. before you could reach lena, you feel a tap on your shoulder. 

“good goal, y/n.” alexandra says. you pull her into a hug as you breathe deeply. she wasn’t your teammate at bayern, but she knows you due to lena. she is the captain so she knows how much importance you have in lena’s life– just as much as lena has in yours.

“thank you– i’m so sorry.” you mumble as you pull away from your body. 

“don’t apologize. you deserve the win.” alex gives you a faint smile and pats your back.  

“yeah but–” you cut yourself off as you turn your head to look at lena, who had her head in her hands. 

“obi needs you– go talk to her.” alex says before stepping away from you. 

you play with the zipper on your windbreaker as you approach your girlfriend. she sits on the bench and can’t see you with her hands on her eyes, so you kneel down to be eye-level with her. 

“obi baby..." you place your hands on her shoulders, rubbing them back and forth as you pull her attention.

in a quick motion, she reaches out and pulls you into a tight embrace, her body shaking with disappointment. she wasn’t crying with tears, but you know she would’ve if she wasn’t in public. lena didn’t want another euros 2022 aftermath to happen to her.

"lena, you don’t understand how much i hated doing that to you, i’m sorry" you whisper, your own tears starting to fall. 

"i know. I know. it just... it hurts so much right now." lena clings to you, her grip firm yet trembling. she hasn’t felt this way since the EURO 2022 finals. you give mini kisses on the side of her head, hoping to comfort her in some way after taking away her chance to go into the world cup finals.

“i'm here for you baby, always. i’ll stay with your for a few weeks once we are back in germany before the pre-season– i am so sorry." you mumbled the last part a few times.

as the minutes pass, neither of you broke away from the hug. the noise of the stadium fades into the background. 

all of the german and american players give you both space, understanding the delicate situation between you both.

trinity, tierna, mallory, savannah, sophia  watch from a distance, their support unwavering. they didn’t know lena much, but everyone knows that lena would never hate you over this.

“you played so good y/n. i am so happy for you, please don’t believe otherwise. it's just... hard to accept the loss right now."

you nod, understanding her pain. you place your hands on the side of her face as you gave her a hopeful smile.

“i love you obi baby, i’m sorry.” 

“stop apologizing— and i love you more liebe.”
