Success in the Premier League had a very specific sound. It was the purr of expensive engines in the parking lot.
Michael Sterling stood by the window of his office on Wednesday morning.
He was drinking coffee and watching his players arrive for training.
Usually, they arrived in humble cars. Kenji Sato rode his bicycle. Isaiah King took Ubers.
But today, the parking lot looked like a scene from a Fast and Furious movie.
A bright green Lamborghini Urus pulled in. It was loud. It was aggressive. It took up two parking spaces.
"Who is that?" Michael asked, squinting.
The door opened. Diego Nunez stepped out. The Uruguayan giant was wearing sunglasses and a tracksuit that matched the car.
He patted the hood of the Lamborghini like it was a pet dog.
"He bought a tank," Arthur Milton rasped, standing next to Michael.
"A very fast, very green tank."
Next, a sleek black Porsche 911 glided in.
