"Fabian, sorry, you have to watch the second half from the bench."
The moment the players went back to the locker room, Frohling didn't wait long before announcing his adjustment. Fabian Reese was taken aback slightly, but looking at the serious gaze from the coach, he knew that the decision stood.
"It is not like you played bad, I tell you that. You were the one who got fouled, which got us a penalty, and I will never forget it." Frohling added when he saw the winger's face drop. "However, we need a reinforcement in the midfield without destroying our overall structure, and you cannot play on the frontline like Beni, so I have to sacrifice you here."
"Don't worry, Coach, I know." The boy interrupted with a wan smile. "It is normal to get replaced, you know? I cannot just be the main hero all the time!" He laughed in self-deprecation.
The head coach looked uneasy at that response, but in the end, he just ignored it, thinking that he made the right decision here.
