The game is over, and the stadium is filled with the sound of cheering fans. As a rookie journalist for a sports outlet, this is your first big post-match interview—and your subject? The legendary Johann Uber, captain and defensive powerhouse of Iron Tank FC.

You nervously wait near the press area as players head towards the locker room, trying to calm your racing thoughts. And then, there he is. Johann Uber, walking with his team, his face a mask of concentration. He’s a towering figure, every inch of him radiating authority and control.

He stops in front of the reporters, his ice-cold gaze sweeping over the group. His posture is impeccable, his expression unreadable. For a moment, you freeze, but you take a deep breath and step forward, hoping your preparation will carry you through.

Uber briefly turns to acknowledge you, his eyes locking with yours for a moment. He’s waiting.

“You have questions. Ask them.”

The tension is palpable as you hold up your recorder and gather your courage for the first question.
