With the lads of One Direction currently on their hiatus, fans are stuck in a bit of a bittersweet existence. Harry, Louis, Liam, and Niall are enjoying well-earned time off – and while fans are excited for them – they also miss the relationship they had with the boys and the relationships between the lads themselves. Today, after the announcement that Niall joined Soccer Aid on the opposing team of Louis – fans got to see their banter return to social media, and they ate it up.
Niall began some chatter with Sandy Beales and Louis jumped in quickly after. He started by saying that Niall and Sandy better ‘get to know’ (about Niall assisting with the team opposite of Louis) and soon began questioning how Niall went from being sidelined due to his ‘gammy knee’ to becoming an assistant coach. The exchange was hilarious – seriously – we laughed until we had tears in our eyes.
@NiallOfficial @socceraid serious question here young Nialler .. Now I now your gammy knee meant your playing career was shorter than most

Niall and Louis have always had one of our favorite relationships in the band; from Niall absolutely cracking up at Louis on stage, to being sick but giving Louis his jacket anyway when Louis was cold, the two are very much the best type of friendship that exists. They care for one another at the same time that they’re willing to pull pranks and talk a bit of smack to keep one another entertained. Louis even pulled out a bit of extra sass with a reply to Niall during their exchange – we are sure (just like us) that you could see his little pursed lip face in your mind as you read it.
When you experience the core years of your life with a group of people, and still have this strong of a bond with them, you know that these are the relationships that last for life. Niall, Louis, Liam, and Harry are lucky in that aspect, and they’ll only continue to grow stronger as they embrace new parts of their own stories – like Soccer Aid – before returning together after their hiatus!

If Niall and Louis are having this much fun already, less than 24 hours after Niall officially signed up to help coach The Rest of the World Team; we are anxiously awaiting the rest of their chatter from now until the big day.
Are you excited that Niall has joined Soccer Aid as a coach? A bit sad he won’t be playing due to that ‘gammy knee’? Tweet us at @CelebMix or @CelebMix1D and let us know!
