Read an excerpt
"Are you playing with these standards?" he demanded to know. "With these f***ing standards? Because, listen to me, they don't even come close to Premier League level. They're shit!" Lack of focus, terrible cooperation, no cohesion – he listed all the issues that had plagued us since my transfer in the middle of the season; and you didn't have to be a genius to understand why. As the coach was chewing us out, heads turned between me and Vincent, who had taken up opposite ends of the room. From the moment I joined, the team's dynamic had f***ed up. Somehow, this was a natural consequence of integrating a new member into a tight-knit team; but mainly the problem was that I, the league's top scorer, and Vincent, the star defender and team captain, hated each other. We played in different positions, but our rivalry was notorious. It was the only real competition I had to face in terms of the press, prestige, and sponsors – all of which are important in our world – but the biggest source of our conflict was what had happened at the last World Cup. The dive. The fight. The red card.
