So the other day, I caught a bit of the AC Milan vs. Inter Milan football match.
‘Big game,’ I was told. ‘
A bit like Tottenham v Arsenal’ someone said.
It’s funny, because that’s when I spotted Kyle Walker in a red (AC Milan) shirt.
I’m not a massive fan, but let’s just say: I know enough for the bants—Serie A included.
Which is why I say, he, Kyle, probably needed the fresh start (just saying).
Anyway, I digress.
So, the game starts heating up. Rafael Leão takes a shot at goal—misses—but Inter’s keeper doesn’t keep hold of the ball.
It falls into the six-yard box, and a waiting Reijnders casually chips the ball into the net… and scores!
But it was the celebration for me.
It was a sort of, ‘well, of course, I scored‘.
Which I agreed with, but in a ‘come on, even I could have scored that from my sofa‘ sort of way.
No shade.
Really.
To be fair, working in corporate, I see lots of Reijnders-y- type people all the time.
They tweak an “a” to an “e,” and start acting up on Slack or Jira like it’s a jingly Tesco staff announcement—you’d think they declared world peace!
And it makes me cringe.
But maybe it’s time to get over that and start bringing that ‘of course, I scored’ energy to everything—especially at work.
At the end of the day, a win is a win, right? So what does it matter if achieving that doesn’t always look like a scroll-stopping, sensational finish?
Deffo food for thought.
Clearly, I took away more than just the score sheet (it was 1-1, by the way), or how seeing Kyle Walker in an AC Milan shirt is gonna take some getting used to!
