Michael Sterling stood on the touchline. He looked at his new formation on the pitch.
The Slingshot was gone. Endrick was gone.
Now they had The Hammer.
Jean Luc Dubois stood in the center circle. The French giant looked massive in the purple kit. Next to him, Victor Osimhen looked like a sprinter ready to explode.
"It is a big frontline Boss," Arthur Milton whispered, hiding behind his notebook. "Very big. If they jump, they will block the sun."
"We need big today Arthur," Michael said. "Chelsea are fast. They have Cole Palmer. They have Mudryk. They are like mosquitoes. We need to be the swatter."
Chelsea lined up in blue. They looked small compared to the Barnsley giants. But they looked confident. Mauricio Pochettino, their manager, was smiling. He knew Barnsley had lost their speed.
