Then he approached his locker room. Due to the intervention of the reporters and the moment he shared with the fans, he had to stay up late on the field. Thus, right now he was all alone. There wasn't a single teammate accompanying him.
They were all inside the locker room.
Approaching close to the locker room, he could audibly hear the noise coming out of the locker room. He could hear their cheerful laughter and their excited chatters. And the more closer he got to the locker room, the noise only intensified.
It made his heart pound. And for some inexplicable reason, it got him tense. Tightening his grip on his trophy, he approached the locker room.
Then just as he was about to enter, he took a deep breath.
