"GOAAAL..."
Zachary raced to the corner flag as the cheers around the stadium exploded to almost unimaginable levels. Happiness glowed inside him as he had just scored a monumental goal on his debut day for the national team. His mood continued elevating as the Ivorian fans sang his name, and he finally slid on his knees for a good few meters to celebrate.
Of course, the other Ivorian players couldn't stop their urge to join the celebrations. They quickly gathered around the corner flag and started hugging and congratulating Zachary.
Zachary noted that the smiles and words from his teammates were genuine and really from their hearts. It seemed they had totally accepted him as a teammate after he showcased his abilities on the field of play. As such, the stares they directed at him contained that boundless respect deserving of a world-class footballer that could rival once-in-a-generation talents.
