The music is upon Fry. Rob D. Furious Angels. All these years. Still, this is where we are. The phone rings. Fry speaking.
"We know you have put in work for Cataluna. Regression is upon you. Still, we must ask a further service. You are no longer requested to be either left or right attacking midfielder. Going forward, your new task is as Center Midfielder, in a defensive role. We trust you have the skills and ability to transition to this new role for the next season."
Click.
Excuse me? Defensive midfield? The Gods must be crazy. The advise comes flowing down from the management office. "Stop practicing corner kicks" "Crossing is a younger man's game." "Flair is for the Brazilians, you are Andorran..."
Having loaded the knowledge chip for Center Defensive Midfield, in particular the VOL role, whichever that might be. The ask is... interesting. Unexpected, certainly. Still, a midfield position is a midfield position. Passing, Dribbling, the rest - all of these skills are largely the same. The knees have started to ache. the muscles are slower to recover. Central midfield? Are they serious?
It is hard to say whether this is a good decision, and whether it is good for Fry. Last World Cup featured Fry at the Right Attacking Midfield position, and they collected the winners medal. Is this the new era for Fry? Time will tell.
