The World Cup loomed on the horizon. Kevin Álvarez, right-back for the Mexican National Team, waited for the flight in the departure lounge. Lia Abril, the new journalist from TUND Monterrey, was also present. They had never met. Kevin, stern and abrasive, actively avoided contact. Management had strictly prohibited interactions between press and players. In the airport, the entire delegation assembled. The journalists boarded first. Lia chose a window seat, took a book from her bag, and sealed herself off with headphones, tuning out the noise. Kevin watched from a distance, his expression impassive.
