Stadio Renato Dall'Ara, Bologna
Tunnel - Pre-Match
2:57 PM
The tunnel was tight and concrete walls were sweating from the noise outside that pressed through stone, and Bologna players bounced in place while clapping in rhythm with the curva's chant that leaked down the corridor.
Atalanta stood in a straight line and De Roon rubbed his palms together once before letting them drop to his sides, and Koopmeiners adjusted his armband while his eyes stayed forward.
Demien stood behind the starting eleven with his tracksuit zipped halfway, and he rolled his shoulders once before rolling them again while his breathing stayed controlled.
A translucent panel slid into view at the edge of his sight and blue text appeared against the transparent background.
「NEW MATCH MISSION」
「OBJECTIVE: Qualify for Coppa Italia Final」
「REWARD: 200 TP + 200 MP」
「MISSION ACTIVE」
The panel faded before the referee waved them forward with his hand.
