On Monday morning I picked the team for San Siro, and I picked it for the 1st of December.
"It costs something," Sarah said. "Resting them."
"It costs us a draw at Wembley."
"And Saturday is the league."
"Saturday is the league," I said. "None of Saturday's 11 starts. I want the second team, Sarah. All of it."
She looked at me for a while, and then she wrote it down.
"Ibrahima is going to ask."
"Ibrahima is going to watch it on a laptop at Beckenham with his foot up," Rebecca said from the door. "I will tell him myself."
Ivan Perišić knocked on the frame behind her.
"I want to start," he said.
"You are starting."
He had come in ready to argue it and there was nothing to argue.
"Then do not stay at the hotel on your travel sheet," he said. "And when you hear them, do not open the curtains. They want you to open the curtains."
