The hum of the academy dorm room at night was a familiar comfort to Leon.
He lay on his bed, staring at the ceiling, not counting sheep, but replaying moments from his life. It had been a whirlwind since his Premier League debut, the intensity of it all still settling in his bones.
Just a few years ago, he mused to himself, I was a kid at a local academy, dreaming of a chance. Now, I'm starting in the Premier League. Against Newcastle. It's… crazy.
His 'Current: 80' rating felt solid, a testament to the growth he'd undergone.
He was no longer just a kid with potential; he was a player making his mark.
the dream wasn't just to play; it was to be the best. To stand shoulder to shoulder with the likes of the legends like Kevin De Bruyne, with his Current: 91.
One day, Leon thought, a fierce determination burning in his chest, my 'Current' will be 90. Then 91. Then… maybe even 95.
