The media room buzzed with anticipation. Journalists from across Europe filled every seat, cameras positioned at precise angles to capture every expression. Jake entered at exactly ten-fifteen, settling behind the microphone with practiced composure.
"Questions for Coach Wilson?"
A French journalist from L'Équipe raised his hand first.
L'Équipe: "Jake, a draw at home—are you satisfied with this result?"
Jake: "Satisfied isn't the word. We're pleased with the performance. Strasbourg showed their quality tonight, but so did we. Two-two gives us everything to play for in France."
Sky Sports: "Silva's goal was exceptional. How important was that early breakthrough?"
Jake: "Renan's been working on that exact finish in training. When the moment came, he executed perfectly. That's what separates good players from great ones."
BBC Sport: "Strasbourg's equalizer came from a cross. Will you address that defensive issue before the second leg?"
