"Nice play," Daniel Örlund, the experienced Rosenborg keeper, said to Zachary as he pulled him off the ground. "That was really close."
"Yes, that was a close call," Zachary replied as he glanced around. He breathed a sigh of relief as the two of them had just helped Rosenborg avoid conceding a goal during the 87th minute. "Daniel, don't relax. We have a great opportunity on our hands. We need to counterattack immediately before the Sevilla players shape up again. Hurry up and pass the ball to me."
Without bothering to say anything else, Zachary took off and sprinted to the right side of the box. And without a moment of delay, Daniel Örlund, the keeper, heeded his instructions and threw the ball to him.
Zachary controlled the ball skillfully and skipped past Marko Marin, the Sevilla right-winger, who was keeping an eye on him. He then worked with all the haste he could muster to move the ball forward and survey the situation on the pitch.
