The cameras followed Bayern's players as they left the pitch.
Another frustrating result.
1–1 against a mid-table side.Minimal creativity.Rigid tactics.No spark.
The fans were growing restless.And one name buzzed louder with each game he didn't play—
Mateo González.
The Interview
As the players headed toward the tunnel, a reporter spotted him watching from the private box.
Mateo was wearing club gear, alone, arms crossed, expression unreadable.
The reporter seized the moment.
"Mateo, quick word? Fans are asking — you've been out of the squad three matches. Are they easing you back after the injury?"
Mateo looked directly at the camera.
His voice calm.Measured.
"I'm in perfect physical condition.""Fully fit. No restrictions.""If I'm not on the field… it's a tactical decision."
That was all.
But it was enough.
The Media Blaze
Within hours, the headlines exploded:
🗞 "Mateo Speaks: Fit but Frozen"🗞 "González Snubbed Again — Internal Rift Growing?"🗞 "Fans Outraged: #LetMateoPlay Trends Again"
Clips of his two-goal comeback replayed across screens.
Pundits debated whether Ferrera was holding a grudge.
Others said it was ego.
But behind closed doors, things were boiling over.
Inside the Boardroom
At Bayern's headquarters, the atmosphere was tense.
Coach Ricardo Ferrera stood in a room with key executives — sporting director, president, and general manager.
He didn't mince words.
"He refuses to adapt.""He breaks formation at will.""He undermines the tactical identity of this club.""I cannot build a cohesive system with him in the squad."
The board members exchanged glances.
One of them spoke:
"He's a generational talent. And he's marketable. Are you sure?"
Ferrera's reply was cold:
"He's a luxury we can't afford if we want control."
Another pause.
Then — slowly — the heads nodded.
The Decision
"Put him on the transfer list.""Quietly. No announcement yet.""Let's see what interest comes in."
Mateo's World Shifts
At that same moment, Mateo was on the training pitch, finishing drills alone under the floodlights.
Sweat rolled down his face.His pulse steady.
But somewhere in the System's interface, a new prompt appeared:
⚠ Transfer Status: ACTIVE
Manager Rating: ❌Club Alignment: ⚠ Fragile
Suggested Action: Prepare for change.
The storm must now choose its next horizon.
