Chapter 243: Training & Christmas Eve
By the morning of December 23, the excitement from the cup win had faded. The training ground was back to business meaning no more celebrating.
The players showed up with sore muscles from the day before, but they were ready. Jamal led the warm-up, moving with ease and setting the pace for everyone.
Reece followed closely, paying attention to each step. Dev and Max shared a quick nod, both aware of the tough work ahead.
Niels had raised the intensity to the maximum.
The session focused on tactics, especially rotating players. Niels switched players in and out of the starting lineup during practice games to see how well the team stayed organized.
Senior players Max, Liam, and Tom spoke up a lot, guiding the younger ones through set-piece routines.
The younger players worked hard and paid close attention to every instruction. Thiago pushed himself to keep up with Max and Nate, while Reece stayed careful, making sure not to strain his injury.
