Izan stepped forward and shook the man's hand with a firm, confident grip.
"Oda," the man said. "Director of motion and capture."
"Izan," he replied, even though everyone here already knew.
Oda didn't waste time.
He launched into an explanation of how the cameras stitched movement together, how shutter speed affected clarity, how micro-adjustments in lens calibration decided whether a fast runner looked sharp or smeared.
Most footballers would have nodded politely until the words washed past them.
Izan asked questions instead.
Sharp ones.
He pointed at one of the stands and asked about latency at longer distances.
He guessed how the system handled overlapping motion when the subject accelerated.
He even pointed out the margin of error when the lighting changed as clouds drifted over.
Oda paused halfway through an answer.
"You weren't kidding about knowing the tech side."
