Chapitre 458: Evolving I

*FWEEEEEEE*

Without minding the rain that had just increased in intensity over the past half an hour, the referee blew the whistle at exactly 8:45 PM. And without wasting time, he signaled the Juventus players to kick off the game.

Carlos Tévez immediately went into action. He raised his leg and unleashed a simple pass from the center spot back into his midfield. He found Zachary Bemba to kick-start Juventus' Champions League opening game against Malmö that evening.

Zachary controlled the ball with ease at the edge of the center circle. He didn't dilly-dally and immediately flicked it back to Claudio Marchisio, his counterpart, positioned just a few yards behind him in midfield. And without losing a moment, he sprinted into space towards the other side of the pitch in search of a strategic position within Malmö's half.
