Chapter 197: Outdoing Himself

Zachary immediately opened up himself to receive the ball when he heard Coach Johansen yelling. Mike Jensen, one of Rosenborg's defensive midfielders, spotted him and passed to him right away.

Zachary fought down rising frustration as he controlled the ball close to the center circle. He was well aware that only about five minutes were remaining until the end of the match. So, he knew he had to do his best to create a scoring opportunity as soon as possible. Otherwise, Rosenborg would fail to end the night with three points in the bag and fall further behind Strømsgodset, the team leading the Tippeligaen table.

Casting a glance across the field of play, he instantly noticed that Borek Dockal, Rosenborg's right-winger, had just stepped away from his marker on the right flank. With the help of the Zinedine-Pirlo Mental Juju, he judged right away that Borek was the best option to receive his pass at that moment.
