Under the fire of the setting sun, Zachary stood in his position outside the center circle, eagerly awaiting the referee's whistle to kick off the match. He was already in a highly focused state as the longing to kick the ball had already soaked right through his bones. Remaining on the bench for the previous two fixtures had birthed a burning hunger and desire for the game.
As the kick-off time drew closer, his anticipation grew until he could feel the muscles in his legs tingling with excitement. He had long developed an intense urge to wage war with the ball and defeat whoever stood in his way.
*FWEEEEEEE*
The referee finally gave the go-ahead at 6:00 PM sharp. The match started immediately with Molde's kick-off. Daniel Chima Chukwu, Molde's center forward, immediately kicked the ball back to his teammates in the midfield.
