The atmosphere in the tactical briefing room was tense but focused. The players, including Zachary, leaned forward in their seats, their eyes fixed on Klopp as he moved through the game plan and tactics.
The starting line-ups displayed on the big screen highlighted Liverpool's 4-3-3 formation, with Zachary partnering James Milner and Georginio Wijnaldum in midfield. Klopp's voice filled the room, commanding attention as he outlined how the team would shape up on defense, during transitions, and while on the attack.
As Klopp continued, Zachary's mind continued racing, visualizing how he would fit into the team's strategy. His high game intelligence worked like the best of charms, and he could almost feel the rhythm of the game, the ebb and flow of their coordinated movements.
