The bus pulled into the underground area of Stamford Bridge, the engine thrumming for a second before cutting off, and as it did, nobody moved.
The players sat still until Dawson rose to his feet, and it was then that the players began to rise from their seats.
The doors opened, and the Wigan players got down, and waiting at the bottom of the steps was a staff member from Chelsea.
He extended an arm in the direction of the corridor and said, "This way, please."
With that, they began moving.
Leo pulled his headphones off as they walked until Dawson appeared beside him and fell into step.
"How are you feeling?" Dawson said as Leo glanced at him.
"Are you going to ask the whole team that?"
"No," Dawson said. "Just you."
"Then I must be in a bad enough mood that you're worried."
"You cracked a joke," Dawson said.
"Which means you're in a good enough mood that I'm not."
"It won't be your first time playing out of position, so relax!"
Leo shook his head.
