The moment Zachary found out he wasn't on the squad for Liverpool's upcoming match against West Ham United on Sunday, August 12th, it felt like a punch to the gut.
Being the dedicated footballer that he was, the news hit him hard. He couldn't help but feel frustrated as Jürgen Klopp revealed the squad during the team's tactical meeting on Saturday evening. After giving it his all in training and pushing himself to the limit, not making the cut was a tough pill to swallow.
Despite the disappointment, Zachary understood Klopp's decision. He recognized that he was still new to the club and had only been able to participate in a few training sessions. He understood why the head coach could doubt his match fitness for the big game.
Sighing, Zachary quickly pushed the disappointment behind him, setting new objectives. He resolved to continue training hard and aim to make the squad for the next game.
