Chapter 13 - FORMAL INTRODUCTIONS

The following day, all media outlets blew up with the surprise signing that SPÖRTING CLUB made. Dove News is one of the biggest and most tuned-in media stations, interviewing with some top football analysts and critics.

Female host (Christiania): The top story going all around the country is all about the surprise signing SPÖRTING BENCICA DE FUTBÕL made, a signing that broke the record for any signing, with the best medicals and fitness record in the league history as released by the club. Rexville had a 97% score on medicals and a 99% on fitness records, which is an unprecedented record never thought to be possible in football. And we all saw the blindfolded double juggling he made at his presentation, which further proved his skill and foot-eye coordination. "Michael Balegin, you're a top football analyst. I would like to hear your opinions on how successful Rexville will be in the club based on the written facts and that little genius display he made on the pitch the other day. Your thoughts?

Michael Balegin: Thanks, Christiana. Well, that is a simple question. The short of it is that Rexville is going to be a generational talent that football has ever seen, and that's not an exaggeration. That's my honest opinion

Carrick (a famed football critic): I also agree with Michael, but I do hope he's not just all finesse, skills, and flair with no finishing. That'd be a generational flop if you ask me. Plus, did you all hear his last name, "He's a Cartón"

Christiana: Yes, Carrick, that's true. He's from one of the country's oldest and most powerful family lineages, reports coming in that he is the second son of this current generation of Cartóns. Carrick, why'd you state that he is a Cartón emphatically?

Carrick: We all know how rich and powerful that is, I just hope he didn't get to play because of his family's massive influence, I really hope SPÖRTING BENCICA CLUB DE FUTBÕL signed him based on his skills and physicality

Michael: There you go again, Carrick, spouting falsehoods and criticising a rising star. Do you think that SPÖRTING CLUB will sign a talentless player just because he's from a noble family?

Carrick: I didn't say that, the long and short of what I am implying is that, I hope this signing of "Rexville" isn't all talk, I hope to see results once the league starts...

Rexville sighed!

Then the screen turned off, and it was later shown that Rexville was watching the news broadcast on his tablet.

Rexville: I guess there are people still out there who doubt my skills, I just have to prove them wrong and silence them when I play on the field on my debut ("He said with conviction").

Afterwards, he went to bed to sleep.

The next day came, and Rexville, along with Leah and an assigned driver, drove all the way to the club's training grounds where Rexville was to meet his new teammates, while in the car, Rexville was feeling a bit nervous because he was meeting the rest of his teammates.

They finally arrived at the training centre and were received by a member of the coaching squad who led them to the place of training, a very large place with the best equipment the country can boast of for a club.

The head coach, upon seeing Rexville, called the training of the other players to a halt and asked them to gather for introductions. Leah wasn't allowed on the training field, and she quietly accepted it.

The full squad lined up horizontally as the coach asked them to, and the coach went to Rexville, shook his hands, and put his arms around his shoulders as he walked to the rest of the team.

Head coach (Dennis Moreira): Say hello to our new teammate, the wonder kid Rexville.

Rexville walked towards the team line-up for introductions.

A tall well well-built light-skinned man with brown eyes, neatly cut brown hair of the age of 26, wearing a bright orange training kit, and sweating from the previous exercises came up to Rexville

"Hi, (he says while stretching his hands for a handshake ), my name is Carlos Priossi, I'm the main striker of this club and I'm an Italian international, I look forward to working with you.

Rexville: Yes, I'd love to play alongside you.

Next was an average height, burly Arcasian-looking man of 32 years, black hair and brown eyes, with a well-built body.

(With a barely noticeable accent), Nice to meet you, young one, I'm Daniel Gosu, a Nihon international and a defender in this club, I'd love to play with you. 'he said in a calm manner, which was almost opposite to what his physical appearance told (he wasn't sweating much. He wore the orange training kit).

Rexville: I'd be honoured to receive your guidance

Hi, I'm Lucas Puntï, your fellow countryman, (he said with a smile while patting Rexville on the shoulders), Lucas was a Portgéran like Rexville, A muscular tall individual of 25 years with dark blue hair and black eyes, a fair-skinned man.

I'm also a defender of the club, but I play the right-back position. If you need anything, just ask me, consider me, your big bro, "said Lucas with enthusiasm and a huge smile while sweating a lot, wearing the lime green training kit.

Rexville: Yes, I will do just that.

Hello, I'm Tristan Davies, one of the centre midfielders, I'm an Albionian international, (Tristan, a tall energetic lean muscular man of 22 years, with blonde white hair and grey eyes that seemed surreal) still looking cool, not sweating much and wearing an orange training kit. I hope to see your skills on the pitch soon, 'Tristan said

Rexville: Don't worry, imma awe all of you.

Looking forward to it, 'Tristan said with a smile

Next, Rexville went on to meet the next person and shook his hand.

An above-average height person with brown full hair and brown eyes, an average footballer build, but a calm disposition that screams talent, 24 years of age. Hey! I'm Francisco Tevez and an Espanā international. It's good to have you on the team, "he said with a bright smile while wearing an orange training kit and sweating from training earlier.

Rexville: Likewise here.

He went on to the next person,

Hey, I'm Antonio Patella, I'm from the Republicà of Argentina, and I play for the senior national team.

I'm the Left Winger of this club and its oldest player, I think the club signed you as my replacement as my contract won't be renewed, "' said a joyful man of 36 years with a build that shows years of experience on the pitch, he had light brown hair and black eyes with a square chin and a lean but tall body of 5 feet 11 inches and a calm and composed figure deserving of the Captain he is. He said this with steady breath despite his earlier training. He was wearing a lime green training kit.

Rexville: I hope to meet you and everyone's expectations, I'll be in your care.

Hey mate, I'm Stanley Phillips the Goalie of this club, I'm a TRUE NORTH STATE international, It's nice to have you on board, "' said a 6 feet 4 inches tall man of 28 years with pale skin, dark blonde hair, grey eyes, and a thin muscular build. He was not fatigued by much and was wearing an orange training kit.

Rexville's height for a 15-year-old is considered tall, but he was still shocked at how tall the goalkeeper was.

Rexville: y-yes, I look forward to playing with you all.

Wassup boy, welcome to the team, I'm Nathaniel Gênzer by name, I'm the Central Defensive Midfielder of the club and a fellow countryman like you, I'm a Portgéran international.

I hope the national team calls you up to play, but you've got to prove your worth this season, cuz next year is the world cup, but no pressure, just chillax and do your thing, "' said a heavily built dark skinned young adult of 20 years with black dreadlocks long enough to touch the bottom of the nape of his neck, a bright smile and vivid blue eyes, while panting lightly and sweating from his earlier workout, wearing an orange training kit.

Whoa bro you got red eyes. That stuff is so rare,

Rexville: Dark skin and blue eyes, damn! Your combo is otherworldly

"Hahahahahah!!!"They both laughed heartily.

Nathaniel: Okay, we're cool bruv, can't wait to play with ya.

Rexville: Yeah, me too.

(Then proceeds to get a fist bump from Nathaniel)

Nice!

An average height, dark skinned man of 23 years, low-cut black hair with deep black eyes, an athletic build, and a serious expression on his face.

Hi, I'm Brian Devin, I play Right Wing

And I'm a Tyskland international, 'he said through heavy breaths and profuse sweating, wearing a lime green training kit.

I heard you got skills, I just hope you are going to live up to the hype kid!.

Rexville: Well, it's a good thing we're playing in the same club. If not, I would have been your nightmare.

What a cocky little boy you are, "said Devin.

Rexville smirks as he walks past him to the next person.

(With a very noticeable accent). Hey mate, I'm Christian McKelly, an Albionian international and the Central Attacking Midfielder of this club. It's nice to meet ya. 'Said a long ginger-haired individual with a skinny but tall muscular build, very fair skin, and a slightly crooked nose with brown eyes and full pink lips with a visibly fatigued body as he sweats wearing the orange training kit.

Rexville: It's nice to meet you too, I'm Rexville, by the way.

Yeah, yeah, I've heard all about you, I hope you're as good as they say you are, "said Christian.

You'll see it on the pitch 'replied Rexville

He then went up to meet a tall, fair-skinned man of 23 years.

Hello, I'm Godwin Coleman, I'm a True South state international and I play left back. Rexville looked at the 6-foot-2-inch figure in front of him, a blonde-haired guy with sea blue eyes rocking a well-proportioned physique, sweating from his former exercise wearing a lime green training kit.

Rex thought to himself, "He would have been a great model if he hadn't played football.

Rexville: I'm glad to be part of your team.

Finally, he went on to meet a tall dark dark-skinned man of age 22 with a strong physique, black hair plaited in cornrows brown eyes, and a sweaty face imposing grin, "he was wearing an orange training kit.

Yooo, the name is Don Paulo, I'm one of the centre-backs in this club, I'm a Santa Cruz international and I found out you're our new teammate, wow you're pretty young huh, must be nice being young and talented, welcome to the team boy.

Rexville: Thanks, I'll make sure to do my best

Dennis Moreira: That's it for the introduction, you all should treat Rexville well, he's your junior, help him get used to the club, but for now we return to training, the league resumes in two weeks, no slacking off.

Rexville, you'll get a tour of the stadium and our facilities, then you head home and resume your training tomorrow, is that fine by you?

I'm perfectly okay with that coach, "Rexville replied.
