Chapter 82: Postmatch Press Conference 2

"Tonight was special, no doubt," Benjamin said, glancing briefly at Martens. "But football is about consistency. One good game doesn't make you one of the best. It's something you have to prove over time. I'll leave it to others to decide where I stand. For me, I'm just grateful to be part of this team and to contribute."

Martens chimed in then. "And that's exactly why Benjamin's going to go far. He's not getting caught up in the noise. He knows what matters—working hard and helping the team. That mindset is what sets him apart."

The room chuckled lightly at Martens' protective tone, and the younger journalist seemed satisfied, leaning back in his seat as the focus shifted once more.
