England Senior Call-Up
The footballing world gasped.
Noah Ramsey, 16 years old, had received his first senior call-up for the England national team.
Social media exploded. Pundits debated.
> "This has never happened before," Gary Lineker said. "Not even Rooney was this young."
> "Is it too soon?" Alan Shearer questioned. "Or are we witnessing the next Messi?"
The bigger story came when Noah was asked how he felt about representing his country.
> "It's about time. Playing with the U20s would've been an insult."
And just like that, headlines erupted:
> "Ramsey Declines England U20s: 'Below My Level'" – BBC Sport
> "Arrogant or Just Honest? Noah Ramsey Joins England Seniors" – The Guardian

International Friendly – England vs. Belgium
Wembley Stadium was electric.
All eyes were on #33.
Noah.
The youngest English player to debut for the senior team in the modern era. Even the Belgian players seemed curious — until kickoff.
In the 6th minute, he stole the ball from Tielemans, dribbled past two defenders, and fed Harry Kane a perfect through ball.
Assist.
In the 23rd minute, he received a return ball from Foden, chopped inside, and curled a left-footed shot past Courtois.
Goal.
By the 60th minute, he was running the midfield like a veteran. Whispering directions to Declan Rice. Barking at Kyle Walker to overlap.
The arrogance wasn't hidden. It was weaponized.
England won 3–1.
Post-match, Gareth Southgate said:
> "He's not just a player. He's a force. I've never seen anything like it."
System Update:
> +25 Points (Int'l Match Win) +10 Points (Goal) +5 Points (Assist) Total: 450/500

Liverpool had rotated the squad — but not Noah.
Klopp trusted him too much.
He played deeper this time, commanding from the pivot. A new layer to his game.
He didn't score. Didn't assist.
But he dominated.
A 94% pass completion rate. 8 progressive carries. 4 successful tackles.
Pundits praised his maturity.
He didn't care.
> "I was bored," he told Sky Sports. "But at least we won."
Liverpool 2–0 Aston Villa.
System Update:
> +10 Points (Cup Win) Total: 460/500

Matchday 13 – Liverpool vs. Leicester City
Anfield roared as Noah returned from international duty.
He played like a god returning to his domain.
He scored a brace — one volley, one dribble-run solo.
After the second, he turned to the camera and held up five fingers.
Nobody knew what it meant.
Except the system:

Even the Fulham fans applauded.

Then it was gone.

Matchday 15 – Liverpool vs. Brighton
The mood in the dressing room was different.
Noah's ego radiated like heat. Some players avoided him. Others orbited him.
Harvey Elliott, once the talkative one, now followed in silence.
Curtis Jones avoided eye contact.
Even Salah — the legend — seemed cautious around him.
Trent Alexander-Arnold gave a quiet nod.
> "He's not a kid anymore," Trent whispered to Virgil. "He's something else now."
On the pitch, Noah was the conductor.
He didn't chase the ball. The ball found him.
He set the rhythm, slowed it when he wanted, accelerated like a whip when needed.
He didn't score. But he assisted twice. Controlled everything.

Matchday 16 – Liverpool vs. Bournemouth
Klopp rested him.
He came on in the 70th minute.
Scored within 3.
Assisted in the 85th.
Liverpool won 3–0.
But in the dressing room, his celebration drew eyes.
He stood on the bench and looked over the team like a king.
> "Don't fall behind," he said. "I'm not waiting for anyone."

> +15 Points (Win) +10 Points (Goal) +5 Points (Assist) Total: 570/500

Matchday 17 – Crystal Palace vs. Liverpool
Fog. Cold. Hostile away fans.
Perfect.
Noah relished the hostility now.
He scored in the 10th. Again in the 44th.
Both goals came from impossible angles.
"Unreal," Jamie Carragher said.
"He's entering Itoshi Rin territory," murmured a scout.

Matchday 18 – Liverpool vs. Wolves
A grind.
Wolves packed the midfield. Kicked him. Trapped him.
It didn't matter.
Noah walked through them.
He nutmegged one, chipped another, and delivered a no-look pass for Jota to tap in.
In the 78th, he dribbled from the halfway line and curled it into the top corner.
Klopp clapped. Then stopped.
He'd seen something in Noah's eyes.
Something… different.
