Chapter 94: Coach meets Agent
Here’s a revised version of your passage in a more polished novel format:
"That was insane!" a youthful voice bellowed inside the hospital room.
Wayne Rooney, who had just stepped in, raised a brow at the outburst. His gaze landed on David, who sat up in bed, looking elated. Amused, Rooney smiled. "Seeing you this happy, I’m guessing it’s good news?"
David only nodded, still caught up in his thoughts. "Yeah, the doctors said—" He trailed off, his mind drifting back to what had unfolded just moments ago while he was watching the match.
He had been watching with a grin on his face, completely engrossed. Rooney had just bagged his second goal of the game, sealing a dominant 5–0 victory. David had always known his coach was a legend—he was Wayne Rooney, after all. But this? This was something else. After training and playing alongside him, David had started to grasp just how vast the gap truly was.
And then a realization struck him.
Come to think of it... whenever I make my runs or find spaces to exploit, it’s mostly the gaffer who picks me out with a pass.
David was undoubtedly talented. His raw instincts and natural ability had carried him far, and until now, that had been enough. He’d never been one to overanalyze tactics or break down the finer details of the game. No one had ever truly guided him in that direction. Even Rooney, for all his coaching, hadn’t yet unlocked his full potential—using him primarily as an offensive weapon.
But David never complained. Scoring goals was what he lived for, and he had to admit—he was damn good at it.
But he knew he could do much more. That was another thing that excited him about the prospect of joining Manchester United. A top team, a top coach—he could already picture himself evolving into something even more dangerous. Just the thought sent a surge of anticipation through him.
Lost in thought, David barely noticed when the hospital room door swung open. The sound of footsteps pulled him back to reality, and he turned his head just in time to see an older man step inside. Dressed in a crisp white coat, the man was clearly a doctor.
