When the referee finally blew the final whistle, the stadium vibrated with even more intense explosions of delight. The fans yelled and celebrated Liverpool's resounding 4-0 victory in their season-opening game. As he took in the sights and the atmosphere, Zachary couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of pride and anticipation for the season ahead.
A bit later, Ray led Zachary down to the dressing room as Klopp had invited. The atmosphere inside was jubilant, with players celebrating and congratulating each other.
Klopp spotted Zachary almost right away and waved him over. "Welcome to Anfield after a win, Zachary!"
The other players noticed him, too. "Great to have you here, mate!" Henderson said, clapping him on the back.
"You'll be out there with us soon," Firmino added, his smile infectious.
"Thanks, everyone," Zachary replied, his voice full of gratitude. "It was amazing to watch you all play."
