"I watched him when he first broke through at Valencia," he said with a settled expression.
"There was something... wild about him."
"He took risks."
"He attacked situations differently."

He searched briefly.
"...now he's almost too perfect."
The host frowned slightly.
"You think that's a bad thing?"
"No."
"But I think there is another version of him," he said as he looked towards the camera.
"And I hope somebody brings it out before this World Cup ends."
"...interesting theory," the host said.
"Now let's move onnn......."

Across the room, Izan lowered the remote before returning his phone to his ear.
"Yeah."
As the call went on, a small smile appeared.
"I'll see you when I can."
He ended the call, and after that, the room became quiet again.
