Peter Bosz blew his whistle again, signalling a shift in drills. The players scattered into smaller groups, each heading to different stations set up around the pitch. Rakim found himself paired with Paulinho and Diaby for a quick-passing and movement drill.
Paulinho initiated the sequence, zipping a pass to Rakim, who controlled it smoothly and immediately sent it to Diaby. Diaby, with his lightning pace, played it back with precision, forcing Rakim to adjust his positioning. The drill was relentless, emphasizing speed, accuracy, and fluid coordination.
Paulinho, who had trained with Rakim and had watched him closely throughout the day gave an approving nod. "You've got quick feet, amigo. You'll fit in here." Not knowing how to react to his sudden words he simply nodded as he continued with the training.
