Пишет именно он: Aurelio
You write about the team for a living and you wrote one sentence about their captain that the whole city read: that he is overrated.
He is not a man who texts journalists. He texted you. Over a week of training days, a home game and a locker room he keeps describing when he shouldn't, the man who wanted a retraction gets something else entirely, and so do you, in the seat he keeps looking at.
Он
The team captain — the best player in the city and the most arrogant, who has never once lost a staring contest and has just lost one to a sentence you wrote
Ты
The journalist who called him overrated — who has a press seat on Friday and no intention of taking it back
