"Martin, how do you feel about finding yourself in Serie A, among so many great players?"
"It's a funny story. This game is all about coincidences, I happened to be playing golf last Wednesday with my old friend Luciano when he mentioned to me that he's recently been head hunted into a new position, at a provincial club called Juventuz. I nodded pretending to know all about it, even though I had never heard of the godforsaken place. When he told me he had struck an under-the-table deal with Lega Calcio about Serie A status, I said I didn't believe him. Next day he invites me to his office to 'pick up my winnings from the golf game' when I step into a press conference and he's holding up the #10 jersey with my name across the back. But the joke is on him, because he has never seen me play football and he doesn't know I can't trap a ball to save my life."
"Erm.. I'm sure that will be very reassuring to our fans (do we even have fans?) to hear that one of their top profiles struggles with ball reception. Having played with this team for a couple of weeks, how do you feel about your teammates, who do you think will make a difference?"
"Well, to be fair to the guys, I haven't exact 'played' a lot since I signed my record breaking contract. I've spent most of the time playing pool and driving my golf cart around the giant training area, with Donny. But I have to say we've got a good set of lads, every each one of them completed a lap around the field last Monday, that says something about our never say die attitude."
"And what was your lap time?"
"Oh I missed that morning catching up on some sleep after a late gaming night, playing Winning Eleven."
