"For the rest of you," Gasperini said once the noise had settled again, "keep working. Keep developing. This club's doors are always open to those who earn their opportunity through performance and attitude."
His eyes swept the room one final time before adding, "Good work today, gentlemen. Continue like this and many of you will find yourselves in the first team sooner than you might expect."
With that, he nodded once to Rossi and turned toward the door, though he paused briefly beside Demien, adding in a quieter voice only those nearby could hear, "Impressive recovery from that Fiorentina rejection. Very impressive indeed."
He left without waiting for a response, and the moment the door closed behind him, the room exploded in celebration again as players surrounded Demien and Matteo with congratulations pouring from all sides.
"I knew it!" someone shouted while clapping Demien's back, and another voice added, "Can't believe it happened this quickly though!"
