252 A Deadlock

The referee blew the whistle at exactly 6:00 PM to the digit that evening. On the center spot, Nicki Nielsen, the Rosenborg number-9, didn't dilly-dally in the slightest. He immediately flicked the ball to Zachary before sprinting off towards Viking Stavanger's half like a whirlwind.

The much-anticipated second last game of that Tippeligaen season was finally underway. The Rosenborg fans started cheering and singing Rosenborg's victory chants at the top of their voices. It was as if they were sure they would win the league that very day.

Zachary felt his heart starting to race with excitement as he received Nicki Nielsen's pass in the center circle. He couldn't help but immerse himself in the passionate cheers of the home fans as he brought the ball under control.

The feeling of playing in front of the home crowd once again was truly fulfilling and pleasant beyond measure.
