Chapter 164: Focused and Ready
November 4th, 2010
The wind was sharp and cold today, cutting across the training ground like a knife.
It made the floodlights hum and stung everyone's faces and fingers, but oddly, it was the one thing that felt familiar.
Everything else in the air felt different charged, alive.
Out on the pitch, the team wasn't just going through the motions anymore.
They were in sync, moving as one, like a machine that had finally clicked into gear.
No one was yelling in frustration.
No one was trying to stand out.
Instead, they worked together focused and united.
You could feel the difference, and it all traced back to that hard-earned win at Stadium MK.
That victory hadn't just boosted confidence, it had pulled them together.
Now, it wasn't just training.
It was something more.
Something real.
Dev found himself in the middle of a rondo drill, the ball zipping around so fast it was hard to keep track.
