Richard and David sat by the roadside, chatting casually while holding bottles of mineral water.
David told Richard that earlier this summer, he had planned to try out for a local amateur club in Valencia, hoping it would be his first step toward a professional career.
As expected.
Richard nodded slowly, finally understanding. He had already mapped out everything for David's development—but David's father, it seemed, had done the same for his son's future.
Valencia CF.
The conclusion was obvious.
Richard shook his head with conviction and said, "Even though you're only turning thirteen this summer, getting proper training early will make a huge difference. The training systems at amateur clubs and professional clubs are completely different."
David smirked and glanced at him. "Do you really think Valencia is an amateur club?"
"Not Valencia," Richard replied patiently. "Your current one—San Fernando. And even then, every club has its own tailored training system."
