Inside the England national team's office.
Several scouts dispatched by Mancini gradually arrived on the scene.
This weekend, everyone was out in full force, scouting England players at various Premier League venues.
As time reached 2016, there were only six months left until the European Cup.
The selection process for the final roster had entered a critical stage.
Assistant coach Chiwo was still the earliest to arrive.
This week, he was at Liverpool's home ground, Anfield, watching the Liverpool vs Everton match.
His key observation target was their midfielder, Henderson.
After distributing the materials and setting up the PPT projection, Mancini finally arrived late.
"Everyone's here, let's start the report!"
Mancini lit a cigarette, sitting at the head seat.
Everyone reported in sequence, with Chiwo's report being the most detailed.
