"Zachary and John, I mainly want you to do two things once you get on the field," intoned coach Johansen, gazing at them intently. They had just finished dressing up after their warm-up. They were already in their full black Rosenborg away-jerseys, ready to enter the field.
"Number one: The two of you should try to connect with the rest of your teammates so that our football can flow again," the coach continued. "That means that you'll have to be involved in the build-up and play a lot of one-twos with the center forward and the other midfielders to create goal-scoring opportunities." He raised his voice slightly to make himself heard over the cheers of the Aalesunds' fans.
