"Beautiful, Tom!"
"4–1!"
"This match is over. VfL Wolfsburg has no chance of coming back!"
"Borussia Dortmund are this season's Bundesliga champions!"
Far away in Manchester, England, Erik ten Hag and Mitchell van der Gaag were watching Sky Sports' live broadcast.
Mitchell van der Gaag said nothing, while Erik ten Hag narrowed his eyes and stared fixedly at Escribá, who had slid on his knees only to crash into the ground on screen.
"The Bundesliga isn't that competitive. Winning the title is perfectly normal."
Erik ten Hag smiled.
Hearing that, Mitchell van der Gaag quickly chimed in. "Exactly. We already expected it when we signed the loan deal. Borussia Dortmund were bound to win the Bundesliga this season. Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig couldn't possibly hold them off."
"Mm..."
Erik ten Hag nodded lightly.
He seemed to have come to terms with it, but then the Manchester United manager suddenly turned to Mitchell van der Gaag beside him.
"Michel, I also think it's perfectly normal for Dortmund to win the Bundesliga."
"But... why do I feel so miserable?"
Erik ten Hag could not quite make sense of his emotions at that moment.
"This..."
If Erik ten Hag himself could not understand it, then Mitchell van der Gaag was even more baffled.
Why did Erik feel miserable?
Mitchell van der Gaag furrowed his brow.
Escribá accepted an interview with reporters: A coach's eye for loans was part of his ability, and he did not believe he was useless to the team.
From the interview footage, Escribá was noticeably more confident after winning the title this season than he had been in the previous two seasons. He even dared to confront doubts from reporters and fans head-on, something unimaginable in the past.
