"Richard, where did you find these players?" he asked, still trying to process what he had just witnessed on the pitch.
"What do you mean?" Richard replied casually, adjusting his jacket.

Richard stopped, turned around, and simply said, "Did you forget? I used to be a scout—and an agent. I have my ways of spotting talent before the rest of the world does."
That was all he said. No further explanation, no detailed story—just a confident, matter-of-fact statement.
