Five friendlies down. Three victories, two draws. Ten goals scored, just one conceded. A solid run, though in the spirit of our new DNA, perfection still whispers in the background — I wanted all five wins. A thumping of Bayern Munich was the highlight of the friendly matches.
Then came the real test: Manchester United at Old Trafford. The stage was set, the pressure immense. I readied the team, knowing history had seen Arteta’s men walk away with a clean sheet. Could we match that?
The whistle blew, and the drama unfolded. Bukayo struck in the 16th minute, Martinelli doubled the lead by the 33rd. We looked in control, but United clawed back — Sesko in the 52nd, Cunha in the 89th. Between them, Kai Havertz’s 85th‑minute strike proved decisive. The scoreboard read 3–2. No clean sheet, but three precious points secured.
And here’s the twist: it’s been just a single day since my last post, yet six matches are already behind me. The pace is relentless, the journey exhilarating. The story is only beginning, next up .... LEEDS UNITED.
