The atmosphere inside the Fortress was heavy.
Manchester United were here.
The Red Devils. The biggest club in England. They were desperate. They had lost their first game.
Michael Sterling stood ten meters away. He wore his club suit. He looked calm.
But inside his chest his heart was playing a drum solo.
Arthur Milton sat on the bench. He was chewing three pieces of gum at the same time.
"They look big Boss," Arthur whispered. "Marcus Rashford looks very fast. And Casemiro looks like a tank."
"Tanks are slow Arthur," Michael replied without looking back. "And we have a Carousel."
KICKOFF
The game began with a fury.
Manchester United did not come to defend. They came to destroy. They pressed high. Bruno Fernandes ran at Kai Sora like a heat seeking missile.
Minute 5.
Kai received the ball from Sam Jones.
Fernandes was there instantly.
"Wake up!" Fernandes shouted trying to tackle.
Kai did not panic. He did not run. He just leaned to the side. Fernandes ran past him.
