Meltdown (N.H)

6

We spent the next two hours looking at our computers, without saying a thing.

"Greenwood, I found a right back, in case you wanted to know." He announced to me.

"Thank you for telling me, I in fact wanted to know. Can I see? Is it done already?" I asked.

"Yes, you can. And no, I haven't talked to anyone yet. I thought I should ask you first." He answered.

"Finally, thank you." I said ironically.

"I just sent you the video." He said.

"Thanks." I smiled.

He didn't smile back, he just looked back at his computer.

I watched the video, and he was in fact what we needed. Great ability for high passes into the box, good attitude and running the whole match. He is 23 years old. Perfect. Horan did his job well this time.

"He 's good. Let's try to sign him." I said.

"Really? We agree on something? What a surprise!" Niall said sarcastically.

I laughed ironically.

"We will try to sign him then?" He asked.

"Of course. Where does he play?" I asked.

"Doncaster rovers." Niall answered.

"Really?" I asked, surprised.

"Yes, why?"

"I was expecting a bigger club. Don't get me wrong, but I thought that he would be in the championship at least." I explained.

"Yeah, it's his hometown I think." Niall explained.

"Oh, okay. You did a good research there Horan. Do you think it's possible to get him to leave his hometown? he must love it if he is still there" I said.

"It will be hard. But I am Niall Horan." He said.

I raised an eyebrow and laughed softly.

"Not funny Greenwood. I'm serious." He said.

"Sorry Horan." I said, changing my tone radically to a serious one.

"I'm going to talk to Doncaster to see if they are interested in selling him. If they are, we will make a formal offer." He said.

"Great." I said. "Let me know if you need help."

"I can do it on my own Greenwood, don't worry." He said in an ironic tone.

"Hey, just offering to help man."

"Look for other players instead." He said in an arrogant tone.

I thought we were working better now, but the real Niall Horan is back, great.

I looked back at my computer without saying anything.

"You can look for a centre forward." Niall suggested.

"I already did that. I still think we should sign Styles." I said.

"C'mon, let's not sign the only one I don't like." He said.

"You don't like him or you are still mad about the last match?" I asked.

"I don't think he is what we need, don't be so stubborn." He said.

"You are mad he scored against us, I get it." I said.

"No I am not. Greenwood, can you understand what I mean for once?"

"Horan, can you listen to my opinion for once?" I responded.

"Greenwood, shake it off, c'mon." He said.
