Alex sighed when he woke up. He was lying in bed in his house in Hamburg. It was mid-morning, quite late really, but today was a rest day and quite frankly he felt he deserved abit of a lie-in. His girlfriend Emma was up already, he could hear her playing downstairswith his two-year-old son Max. Any other day he would have jumped out of bed to joinin and spend time with them but not today. The defeat the day before was too much totake. 4-0 he had lost with his football club against their biggest city rival. He had almostbroken down on the pitch he had felt that sick and desperate. He had seen his pitiful selfin the news that evening and had felt nothing but disgust for what his career had come to.
