The training pitch stretched before them like a green canvas waiting for masterpieces to be painted upon it. The morning air was crisp and clean, carrying the scent of freshly cut grass and the promise of athletic excellence.
As the team emerged from the tunnel, Mateo could hear the familiar sounds of professional preparation boots clicking against concrete, the rustle of training bibs, and the low murmur of tactical discussions between coaches.
