Zachary woke up early as usual and headed out for his early morning run. The weather was cold enough to make his atoms shiver, yet he ran at a constant rhythm as his measured strides ate up yards of the frozen sidewalk.
It had been five days since Rosenborg had crashed Standard Liege in the Europa League group game. However, all the sports headlines in Norway were still about him since he'd managed to score four goals in that game. His phenomenal performance during that match had even pushed him to the top of trending topics on most of the social media platforms in Norway.
Moreover, an article by Olav Brusveen, a famous TV2 Sporten sports journalist in Norway, had even described him as one of the young talents with the potential to become the G.O.A.T in the future. As a result, his fame, both in Norway and entire Europe, had exploded due to the added media attention.
