Return to Training & Transfer Window Moves

Two Weeks Later 

The summer break had come and gone. Now, it was time to get back to work.

Jake stood at the edge of the training pitch, arms crossed, watching as his players trickled in. Some looked fresh and energized, eager to get going. Others still shook off the last remnants of their vacations, stretching out stiff muscles and rolling their shoulders.

Silva was the first to arrive, already juggling a ball at his feet, his touch sharp despite the time off. His movements were effortless, the ball never leaving his control. A few younger players stopped to watch, impressed.

Okafor greeted Jake with a simple nod before heading straight for the goalkeepers' area, stretching his arms as he walked. His focus was locked in, as if the final against Notts County had only been yesterday.
