"Scored once." Rudy put on his gloves, clapped a few times, and said, "Remember that time? The Sky Sports commentary.
"..... Rudy can save the team once, can save the team twice, but he can't stop Ma'el's third shot hitting the target!"
"Hahaha." The two of them laughed together, leaning back, feeling it was quite apt.
Hulahan looked at Rudy, raised his brows, and said, "So, you're one of the few in the Championship who gave him a hard time?"
"You too." Rudy patted Hulahan's shoulder and said, "Your first hat-trick last season was against Sheffield United, in front of Ma'el.
"Must have been impressive, we beat Sheffield United comprehensively that match, and Ma'el's expression was grim post-game."
Hulahan's face lit up, raised his brows even higher, and nodded, feeling quite honored.
Thinking back, it's quite remarkable. The kid they competed against last season is now someone they feel... honored to have showcased brilliance in front of.
