Sean sighed, trying to keep his cool

Sean sighed, trying to keep his cool. "Sir, you need to calm down. We don't need another complaint."

Julio paced around, clearly agitated. "I don't give a fuck, Sean!" He threw his whistle at the wall. "FUCK! EVAN, YOU HAD A PERFECT SHOT TO MAKE, BUT NO, YOU DIDN'T WANT TO PASS THE BALL. AND HENRY, THREE GOALS YOU COULDN'T SAVE? ONLY THREE! YOU ARE PAID FOR DOING THAT?!"

Evan kept his head down. "Sorry, coach."

Henry echoed, "Sorry, coach."

Cristian, annoyed, spoke up. "Coach, you don't need to blame them for what happened."

Julio sighed and then turned his frustration toward Cristian. "You're right. IT'S YOUR FAULT FOR NOT BEING A GOOD CAPTAIN!"

Patrick intervened. "Whoa, coach, you don't need to blame Cristian or any of us for the game. We did the best we could out there."

Julio shook his head, exasperated. "This is not some junior league where you get trophies for participating, Patrick!" He exhaled deeply, trying to regain control. "This is LA Galaxy. We need to qualify to even consider the MLS championship. I'm done. Get changed already. I'm tired of the same bullshit!" He stormed out of the room.

Patrick muttered under his breath, "That man is fucking pent up down there."

Diego chimed in, "He's the one having a tantrum over this."

William shook his head

William shook his head. "Even my own children are more behaved than he is."

Sean tried to restore some order. "Alright, guys, let's just call it a day. You all did good."

"Thanks, Sean," Patrick said as Sean walked out.

**In the Showers**

William sighed. "To be quite honest, we could've won the game easily."
