Chapter 126: New Coach III
"I’m so, so bored."
The words came from Manchester United’s newest player, David Jones, his voice filled with frustration as he groaned dramatically. He wasn’t talking to anyone in particular—just himself, the empty room, and maybe the universe if it cared to listen.
But he didn’t stop there.
"Same old, same old. Wake up, shower, eat, work out—that’s all. When are they finding a cure for this goddamn virus?"
He exhaled heavily, tossing his phone onto the bed beside him as he let his head fall back onto the pillow. He felt like he was trapped in some never-ending cycle, just going round and round with no real escape.
With the club on break after the season had ended, and with no new coach yet appointed, everything just felt like... nothing. No training, no team meetings, no matches. Just days blending into each other, the same routine over and over.
Football had been his entire life since childhood, so with the world practically shut down due to the pandemic, he had no idea what to do with himself. No matches, no proper training, no excitement. Sure, he could hit the gym and keep his fitness up, but what was the point if there was no game to play?
David barely had any hobbies outside of football. His whole life revolved around it. The lockdown had taken a serious toll on him, and unless there was a match on TV, he had nothing to do.
Well, except for video games.
But even that had lost its appeal over the past five days.
And he knew exactly who to blame for that.
