104 First Official Training as a Pro IV

Zachary abandoned all the redundant thoughts and focused on assessing the field when he stepped into his position. He started scrutinizing both his opponents and teammates carefully while waiting for the whistle to restart the game. Positioning, standing postures, facial expressions, alertness—Zachary took them all in.

His brain was in overdrive as he searched for gaps in the green team's 4-3-3 attacking formation. He also tried to anticipate future passing opportunities that could arise from the potential actions of his teammates. He had taken the first step to perform as a Maestro by beginning with the necessary on-field risk analysis even before the game restarted. That way, he would release the ball accurately and quickly to his teammates after receiving a pass.

*FWEEEEEEE*

The assistant coach blew his whistle a few seconds later, signaling for the red team to restart the scrimmage game.
