บท 59: Final; in enemy territory [1]

"Sam, you just won a 3rd straight man of the match award in 3 of the 4 most important games of the CAF champions league, how do you feel?"

"How do I feel?" Breathing hoarsely, Sam laughed. "I feel good man, not just good, I feel great!" He whooped excitedly.

"Every player starting his career like me dreams of creating moments like I just created today in our career. Giving 3 assists in the CAF champions league final, I had high expectations but definitely not this high". He chuckled.

"I definitely exceeded my own expectations today".

And then, he grinned. "All to cap it off now is to get a goal in the return leg, and most of my goals for my first season as a professional football player would be accomplished already".

"And that right there is the mark of a confident player in form". The male reporter grinned. "Sam, I'm betting all my money on you for the next game, you better fulfill your promise and score".
