"And with the 14th pick overall, Athenai FC select French midfielder Laurent Gourcuff." With a determined look but a beaming smile the young Frenchman stepped up to the podium. He had not expected to be drafted outside of the top 10, but at this point it did not matter. One of his main targets ahead of the draft, one of the premier destinations for him was in fact Athenai. He will represent a European team not very far away from home. We might not be speaking of playing just a highway down the coast away like it would have been if Catalunya drafted him. Or the familiarity of language if he ended up in Montreal. But the fact remains. He is happy.
As the draft concluded and the Athenai manager and director of football prepared to bring his newly minted players home he realized what an oppurtunity this would be for him. Not only has he gotten a chance to play for one of the most highly thought of clubs in the SSL. He gets to do it in front of manic fans in excellent weather while enjoying a ton of responsibility at his newfound club. "You will have the reigns to do what is necessary to win us matches. We here in Athens expect great things from you Laurent."
A team that is beaming with talent. Henrik Lind, Deedee Yoker, Zinedine Gintonic and Janik Andersen are some of the best players you can come across in their respective positions. With newly drafted striker Antonio Conte finishing the attacks of with the 6th Overall centerback in Eirlys Snooks the team is looking primed for success.
A 3rd place finish in the league last season was decent, but we here in Athenai want more. What we truly want is simple. To lift a trophy.
