[Football] What? You Still Want Loyalty?

"You pay me, and I'll play my best. Loyalty? That costs extra."

--Lania Trecher

A journalist who has spent years covering football is about to interview the red-faced fan in front of him about his thoughts on Lania Trecher.

"Hello, sir. What do you think of Lania Trecher?"

The fan let out an angry roar and snapped, "A selfish, arrogant, faithless bastard!"

Just then, his friend, wearing the same team's jersey, looked at his phone and suddenly let out a piercing shriek. "What?! Lania Trecher is joining our team?!"

The red-faced fan took a deep breath, immediately put on a sunny smile, grabbed the microphone, and shouted, "Actually, I was just pretending before! Little Shrike, you're the greatest player in the world! I love you!"

Reader's guide:

1. This is a spite-fic born from how awful the Manchester City documentary was and the string of ridiculous decisions made by RedBird. It is very unfriendly toward Manchester City's management and RedBird, but only targets the management responsible for those ridiculous decisions, not the players. If that's not your thing, don't read.

2. The protagonist is a mercenary who cares only about money and trophies. Don't ask why he keeps transferring: he loves himself most of all.

3. Pairing undecided. Place your bets! There may be a brief fling.

4. The protagonist has no heart or conscience. He loves himself most of all, so he's strong and will viciously snatch trophies and prize money. He won't be made a fool of!

5. The author is a pretend fan. Feel free to point out any mistakes at any time. Thanks, everyone!
