Reflections and Deliberations

Even after spending a large part of the night partying with teammates, Zachary still managed to wake up at 9:00 AM. The hard-fought victory over Benfica had caused his spirits to soar into the skies, and he was in a hyper mood as he went through his morning yoga routine in the living room of his apartment.

As he performed the various yoga poses, scenes of the previous night went through his mind. First, he remembered how he'd provided an assist that enabled Nicki to score Rosenborg's first goal. Then, he recalled how Benfica had equalized the game during the 88th minute. At that moment, he had felt as if the entire world was crumbling around him since Rosenborg was behind Benfica going by the aggregate score.
