Coach Johansen's mood was still agitated as he followed the game from the technical area after the goal celebrations. Every time he remembered the run made by Zachary through the middle and his efficient side-stepping skills, his heart would palpitate. And when he recalled the goal itself, his lips would curl into a smile. He was simply like an excited kid who'd just received his favorite Christmas present.
However, he soon forced himself to calm down when he continued watching the game. As a coach, he understood that his players still had a lot of work to do if they wished to attain a result from the fixture.
Juventus was a team that grew stronger as they settled into the game. Thus, he wanted his players to do their best in the first fifteen minutes to widen the margin before the Italian giants raised their tempo and started attacking fiercely.
Hello, readers! Thanks for reading.
Please check out my new book Codex Infinitus. If you find it a bit interesting, drop a review, and please send me some powerstones. The book has just been vetted for a WPC contest. So, I really need those power stones to achieve a result in the contest that is ending in three days. Thanks a lot.

I got the inspiration to write this chapter after watching a couple of past match highlights. The most important of the highlights was Nani's goal for Machester United against Manchester City during the Community Shield back in 2011. You can search out the highlights for that game if you have trouble picturing how Zachary managed to run almost across half the pitch and get to the ball before the defenders could clear it. Thanks again.
