Chapitre 558: Preparations for the Game Against Empoli

Having taken breakfast, Zachary headed to the Vinovo. He arrived a few minutes before nine and quickly donned his training attire. Then, after stepping into his green Nike Mercurial Superfly boots, he exited the dressing room and set off for the main training turf, where the coaches would conduct the official team training that morning.

His teammates, who had left Turin to play international games for their respective national teams, had already returned. Even players like Martín Cáceres, Carlos Tevez, Roberto Pereyra, and Arturo Vidal, who had traveled all the way to South America to represent their respective countries, were already back on the training ground. They were all in groups of fours and fives performing rondo drills when Zachary arrived on the training ground.

"Zachary! You're almost late," Patrice Evra, the French left-back, yelled out on seeing Zachary. "Hurry and join us."
