The morning after the intense match between Ivory Coast and Spain was a mix of exhaustion and excitement for Zachary. The adrenaline rush of scoring a crucial free-kick and helping his team secure a draw against the mighty Spanish team had left him physically drained but mentally exhilarated.
As he rolled out of bed and stretched his weary muscles with a post-match yoga routine, his mind raced with thoughts of the upcoming knockout stages and the dream of guiding Ivory Coast to the World Cup quarter-finals.
After Zachary finished his yoga routine and freshened up, he headed to the hotel restaurant for breakfast, where the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and sizzling bacon welcomed him.
