Reincarnated As A Wonderkid
Chapter 93: The New Teammates
The flashbulbs erupted, a dazzling explosion of light, as Leon Fischer signed his contract with Inter Milan. He was officially a Nerazzurri player.
After the signing, a smiling club official handed Leon his new jersey. It was the iconic black and blue stripes of Inter, crisp and new. Leon's eyes widened as he saw the number on the back: 10.
The number 10. The jersey of legends. The playmakers, the leaders, the creative heart of the team. It was a huge honor, a clear statement of the club's belief in him.
He held the jersey up, a wide grin on his face, as cameras clicked furiously. He posed for a series of photos, holding the shirt, pointing to the number, giving a thumbs-up. His 'Current: 92' radiated pure joy and excitement.
Later, in a quiet moment, he pulled out his phone. He snapped a perfect selfie, holding up his new No. 10 Inter Milan jersey, the club crest gleaming. He quickly posted it to Facelook:
"New chapter. New challenge. Honored to wear the legendary No. 10 for @Inter. Forza Inter! #InterMilan #NewBeginnings #Number10"
Almost instantly, the likes and comments flooded in. His followers, now well over 2.5 million, were going wild.
"LEON IN BLACK AND BLUE! This is going to be epic!"
"Number 10 already?! They know he's the real deal!"
"Forza Inter! Welcome to Milan, Leon!"
He then joined Cole Palmer (Current: 85) and Julián Álvarez (Current: 87), his new teammates, who were also posing for photos with their new jerseys.
Palmer, with his calm demeanor, and Álvarez, with his quiet intensity, both looked excited.
"Hey, guys!" Leon greeted them, a wide smile on his face. "Great to finally meet you properly!"
Palmer, a year or two older than Leon, grinned. "Leon! Welcome! We've been watching you in the Premier League. That goal against Chelsea... insane, mate!"
Álvarez, his English a little less fluent, nodded, a friendly smile on his face. "Yes, welcome, Leon. Very good player."
"Thanks, guys!" Leon replied, feeling an immediate connection with them. His 'Analyze Player Stats' feature silently showed him their 'Potential' and 'Current' ratings, confirming their immense talent. "I'm really excited to be here, to be part of this project.
Chivu's vision, bringing in young, talented players... it's exactly what I wanted."
"Yeah, that's what got me too," Palmer said, nodding. "He spoke about building something special, about giving us the freedom to express ourselves. And the chance to play with you, Leon, and Julián... it's a dream."
Álvarez added, "Inter is big club. History. I want to win Champions League here. With you." His 'Current' radiated a fierce determination.
Leon felt a surge of excitement. This was it. This was the core of the new Inter Milan. Three young, ambitious, incredibly talented players, all with high 'Potential' and 'Current' ratings, ready to conquer Europe.
He pulled out his phone again. "Alright, group photo! The fans need to see the new generation!"
They all squeezed together, grinning, holding up their new Inter jerseys. Leon snapped a few pictures, then immediately posted them to Facelook: "New teammates. New era. Ready to make history with @ColePalmer and @JulianAlvarez. @Inter #InterMilan #TheFutureIsNow"
The comments section exploded even faster this time. The fans were clearly thrilled to see the three young stars together.
Next up was the official press conference, where Leon, Palmer, and Álvarez would be formally introduced to the media. The room was even more packed than Leon's signing, a buzzing hive of reporters, cameras, and microphones.
Cristian Chivu (Current: 90) started, speaking passionately about his vision for Inter, about building a team for the future, and about the immense talent he had brought in.
Then, it was Cole Palmer's turn. He spoke calmly, eloquently, about the excitement of joining Inter, the challenge of Serie A, and his desire to win trophies. "I'm here to win," Palmer stated. "And I believe, with this group of players, under Mr. Chivu, we can achieve great things."
Julián Álvarez spoke next, his English a little more hesitant, but his passion shining through. "Inter is big club. I want to score many goals. I want to win for the fans. I want to win Champions League.
With Leon. With Cole. We will fight."
Finally, it was Leon's turn. He walked to the podium, the flashbulbs erupting around him. He took a deep breath.
"Thank you," Leon began, his voice clear and confident. "It's an incredible honor to be here, representing Inter Milan. This club has a rich history, passionate fans, and a clear vision for the future under Mr. Chivu."
He continued, "Why Inter? For me, it was about the project. Mr. Chivu approached me personally, and his belief in building a team around young, hungry players, players with immense 'Potential', truly resonated with me.
I want to be part of something special, something that we build together from the ground up. The opportunity to play alongside talents like Cole and Julián, and the rest of this fantastic squad, is incredibly exciting."
"I've always wanted to challenge myself at the highest level," Leon explained, his gaze sweeping across the room. "And Serie A is a fantastic league, tactically challenging, physically demanding. And of course, the Champions League. That's the ultimate goal. I believe, with the talent we have here, and the leadership of Mr. Chivu, we can compete for every trophy. We can bring Inter Milan back to the very top of Europe."
He finished, a determined glint in his eye.
"I'm here to win. I'm here to learn. And I'm here to give everything for the Inter Milan badge. Forza Inter!"
The room erupted in applause, the reporters scribbling furiously. Leon felt a surge of pride. He had delivered his message. He had stated his ambition.
As the press conference concluded, Leon, Palmer, and Álvarez stood together, posing for more photos, their new black and blue jerseys gleaming.
They were the new face of Inter Milan, the "wonderkid trio," as one reporter had already dubbed them.
Leon felt a deep sense of excitement. The move to Italy, the new teammates, the ambitious project – it all felt right. The Champions League awaited, Serie A awaited.
