The Devertary United Mansion stood majestically at the center of a vast, emerald-green square grassland, encircled by imposing walls that seemed to stretch on forever.
The mansion itself was a breathtaking sight, its exterior a brilliant blend of blue and white hues, evoking the image of a fairytale castle. The structure towered three stories high, its grandeur awe-inspiring.
A winding driveway, lined with perfectly manicured hedges and vibrant flowers, led to the mansion's grand entrance. A sturdy, oak-wood door adorned with intricate carvings and a heavy, iron knocker in the shape of a regal falcon's head, welcomed visitors.
Upon entering, the interior revealed a warm, creamy color scheme, elegantly complemented by rich, red rubies that adorned the window frames, casting a warm, luxurious glow throughout the mansion.
The walls were adorned with exquisite artwork, and the floors were covered with plush, velvet carpets that whispered softness beneath every step.
A sweeping staircase, curved like a swan's neck, connected the floors, its banister polished to a high shine. Crystal chandeliers hung from the ceilings, casting a kaleidoscope of colors across the rooms.
Every detail, from the delicate patterns on the china to the heavy, velvet drapes, spoke of opulence and refinement, making the Devertary United Mansion a true marvel of luxury and elegance.
Molis Harrison gathered his team members, his eyes locked on theirs as he discussed their next match against Night Phantom, the top club in the league.
He displayed their current winning percentage against the team, a modest 32%. His expression turned serious as he warned them about Night Phantom's formidable reputation.
"They're a force to be reckoned with, having defeated their last three opponents with more than three goals. They annihilated their first opponent 5-0, Nixon Pool 4-1, and Maraford 4-0." The team's focus intensified as Harrison highlighted their flaws.
"Our biggest threat is their star-studded lineup, specifically four key players. If we can keep them at bay, our chances of winning increase. Even if the match pressure becomes overwhelming, our goal is to secure, at the very least, a draw."
Harrison's voice echoed through the room as he identified the key opponents.
"First, we have Gunnar Krüger, their captain and defensive midfielder. He boasts exceptional reflexes and cognitive skills, earning him the Best Captain of the Season award.
Krüger also led Germany to victory in the European Championship, defeating all odds in the tournament held every four years.
" Harrison displayed Krüger's image on the screen, revealing a fair-skinned male with white hair and blue tips, wearing the number 18 jersey.
"Next, we have West Harry, their attacking midfielder and a vital component of both this team and England's national squad. Harry's speed is unparalleled, making him a formidable opponent who can outmaneuver even the quickest defenders.
" Harrison showed Harry's image on the screen: a fair-skinned male with black locks featuring white spiral designs, wearing the number 9 jersey.
"Third, we have Efosa Osas, the team's Striker and a force to be reckoned with. Osas has been likened to Shark in terms of performance, currently topping the scoreboard with 7 goals, while Shark trails behind with 6 goals.
" Harrison displayed Osas' image on the screen: a dark-skinned young male with grey and red hair.
"Osas is a Nigerian with an unorthodox playing style, earning him the Golden Boot in multiple events, including the last two World Cups, the last four La Rima seasons, the World Championship tournament, and the last five African Championship. He wears the number 7 jersey, the same number he proudly wears for Nigeria."
Harrison's expression turned serious. "Osas is a beast, and I fear even Shark is no match for him. We'll need to devise a strategy to contain him if we hope to succeed."
Harrison continued, "The last danger man is Giovanni Rizzo, the team's solid Italian defender, wearing the number 4 jersey.
Rizzo's defensive prowess will make it challenging to get past him, but we'll need to push hard to succeed." Harrison showed Rizzo's image on the screen: a brown-skinned male with black afro hair, featuring blue-dyed sides and a piercing on his right ear.
Molis Harrison addressed the team's French coach, Moreau Garnier."He's a master tactician, known for devising unorthodox formations that can catch opponents off guard. We'll need to be prepared for anything." Garnier's image appeared on the screen: a mature, fair-skinned man with yellow hair, exuding an air of confidence and strategic brilliance.
Harrison further on told them that they had enough time before their next match as their clash with Night phantom will be the last clash in the fixtures.
"We have enough time and will spend that time training"Harrison stated before dismissing them.
Soon after they are seen on a large pitch,The evening light illuminating the area provided a dim light.
