๐ง Current Status
Mateo was now one of the top-rated players in the Premier League.
His chemistry with Bruno, Garnacho, and Rashford had grown immensely.His name was now being discussed not just in Englandโฆ
โฆbut in Ballon d'Or watchlists.
๐งต Closing Thought
One night, as he rested in bed with Klara reading beside him, Mateo stared at his system panel.
So many titles.So many traits.So much data.
But it all boiled down to one question echoing in his chest:
"Am I ready to carry this forever?"
He didn't answer with words.
He just tapped the "Train Tomorrow" schedule.
