With his training vest back on to stave off some of the cold, Jason walked towards a setup for the post-match interview.
It was finally his turn to be interviewed and after being called, he walked towards the reporters with his hands tucked into the coat he had put on over the training vest.
Surprisingly, his hands were empty despite his performance in the match because whoever was deciding to hand out MOTM awards had thought that Dybala’s three assists were more worthy of the award than Jason’s two goals.
Jason couldn’t fault their logic, but it didn’t feel too good to have been passed over even after his performance in the match.
The fleeting thought that if the manager had left him on the field, he might have completed a hat-trick and would have then been more than worthy of the MOTM award, had popped up in his head, but he shook it away.
The award could still have ended up going to Dybala even if he did score a hat-trick.
‘Well, it doesn’t matter anyway, I can always try again next match,’ Jason consoled himself internally as he finally reached the front of the huge placard thay wouls serve as the background for the interview.
Less than a minute of adjustments later, Jason was standing with his back facing the placard with a mic in his face and a camera pointing his way.
“Wonderful match it was, how did you feel out there starting your first game for Uventus,” the reporter holding the mic asked Jason.“I’m err… I’m grateful for the chance to get out there and play. It’s nice to get the green light from the manager to get out there and err, you know… Perform,” Jason replied, choosing his words carefully.
“You performed spectacularly many would say, scoring two goals, further adding to your tally, and making this three goals in three games. How much more do you have in store for us?” The reporter quickly moved on to the next question.
“Uh, it’s always good to score goals and I’m happy I could get on the score sheet today as well. As for what’s coming next…”
“Well, we’ll see when that time comes, but I’ll always be looking to do my best for the team,” Jason shrugged.
“Coming next for the team after this is a match against Sampdoria. What do you think of your chances against them?” The reporter moved on to the next question, a friendly smile on his face as he did his job.
“Against Sampdoria?” Jason asked in slight surprise.
“Of course, I fancy our chances. They’re not going to be an easy opponent, but I believe more in my teammates than I fear them… By a great margin, so I think we’re going to win,” Jason answered smoothly.
He wasn’t one to downgrade teams that were weaker than his own because he also used to be in their shoes… Being the weaker opponent, but things had changed and this was already giving them more than enough respect.
There was no dimension in which Sampdoria ever outpaced Uventus in any aspect… At least, he hadn’t seen any.
“Thank you, that will be all,” the reporter nodded in response to Jason’s answer and released him.
“Thank you for having me,” Jason replied and walked off heading to the locker room since the interview was over and there was nothing else keeping him on the field.
*******
***28th January 2021***
The Uventus players were given a day off to rest and recuperate after their match and Jason was included on that list of players.
However, he wasn’t going to be spending his day off recuperating in bed or on a couch, but rather, he would be fulfilling a prior engagement that has been scheduled for today.
After agreeing to do a song with Big Shaq, he had told the man to schedule something and today was the only day he would be free enough for such an endeavor.
All his other days were packed full.
After telling Big Shaq, the man had quickly gotten to work apparently and seemed to have come to Italy, gotten a studio for the session, and done a few other things, only leaving Jason with the duty of showing up.
Since everything was already seemingly ready, Jason woke up that morning, did a few yoga routines to help with muscle exhaustion and then washed up in preparation to go out.
‘Thank the Lord for things like Uber,’ Jason thought to himself as the car he chartered to take him to the agreed location drove quickly through the streets.
It was getting a bit annoying for Jason who didn’t have a car to move around.
Luckily, he could leave to the training grounds with Ronaldo every morning, but should be have any other thing that required him going out, he would have to settle jt himself and after being used to a car for so long, it was super annoying that that convenience was gone.
‘Maybe I should get a car?’ he wondered internally as he watched the cars that flew by him.
He didn’t want to have to borrow a car from his landlord as that was a line Jason wasn’t willing to cross.
It wasn’t even about pride. It just felt weird to him though he couldn’t explain why.
He still had a couple million dollars stashed in his account for emergencies.
He hadn’t invested all the money he made from his earlier investments into Rosember and had set a little aside for personal use and emergencies, so it wasn’t like he couldn’t buy a car if need be, and with how things were going, it seemed like that was what he would end up doing.
“What car should I buy though?” Jason muttered to himself in a low tone, but the driver in the front seat heard his words and glanced at him through the mirror, but didn’t look for long.
Jason was wearing a nose mask, dark glasses, and a hoodie so his face couldn’t be seen.
He had also made sure to walk a bit of a distance away from Ronaldo’s house before joining up with the car, so at most, the driver would think he was a celebrity hiding his movements, but wouldn’t be able to tell who he was.
