THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME
The Perfect Start II

"The flamboyant Skill we just saw from Zachary Bemba!" Kristin heard Kjell Roar shout loudly, her melodious voice beating the joyous cheers of the surrounding fans. "It's absolutely incredible with that beautiful Cruyff turn. The enchanting things of Rosenborg number-33 18 years. He has managed to lose Jo Inge Berget, Molde's attacking midfielder, and is now gaining space for himself to work with the ball."

Kristin's hopes lit up as she watched the events on the field. He saw Zachary raise his head for a moment and sweep a brief glance across the field. Using the outside of his shoe, he unleashed a breakthrough pass towards Nicki Nielsen in the third of Molde's defence. The cheers of Rosenborg fans at the stadium intensified after Zachary's creative performance.

"Once again, Zachary has managed to catch Molde's dozing defence with a beautiful high pass in midfield," Kristin heard Kjell Roar shout loudly. "Nicki Nielsen used a pass that split Zachary's defense. He passed the ball to the ground and fired the first shot towards the goal."

"Yes God! rjan Nyland, Molde's goalkeeper, managed to stick his fingertips into the ball, deflecting it slightly from the direction it was going. Nicki's shot hit the right post before slipping out of the game to earn a corner kick. What an incredible opportunity. . In the 14th minute, just ten minutes since scoring, Nicki and Zachary again broke into the Molde defense. But this time, the goalkeeper came to the rescue, keeping Molde in the game."

"It was the incredible chemistry of Nicki and Zachary once again" Harald, the scholar for the day, added. "This is the second time the two have connected to create something out of nothing for Rosenborg. Coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his men will face a lot of problems today if they don't find a way to control both."

"Slices in my mind" cut Kjell Roar. "And don't forget Zachary's individual brilliance today. The way he created that page of space for himself by passing Jo Inge Berget was a strange thing."

"Well," said Harald. "Zachary was phenomenal in these first fourteen minutes. He played with a lot of energy in this match. It seemed that the reserve player was giving him a slight benefit. Let's hope he maintains his outstanding performance throughout the 90 minutes."

"Molde will be in trouble if he maintains such flamboyance throughout the game" Kjell Roar said. “Coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has a lot of work to do if he wants to take at least a point from this match. Let's hope he can produce the kind of brilliance he had when he was a player in Manchester. "

"Playing and coaching are two different things" Harald commented in a flat tone. "Unless Ole, himself, enters the field of play and marks Zachary Bemba, I don't see much hope for Molde."

Kjell Roar chuckled at it. "I would love to see a game like that" he said. "But for now, let's get back to the action. Jonas Svensson, one of Rosenborg's two defensive midfielders, just floated a teasing ball into a packed box."

"There were some pushing and pulling among the players, but the referee didn't blow the whistle. Geez! Tore Reginiussen, Rosenborg's captain, had overstepped his mark and fired a header towards goal from around the penalty spot. . Goalkeeper punches the ball away from his net— towards the outside of the box."

"Geez! The ball somehow moves right towards Zachary, positioned on the edge of the box. He greeted him with a first-time volley and fired a rocket shot towards Molde's goal."

"That might be another blow for Coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his players" Harald added. "From Magnus' expression, you can see that he was in a lot of pain. The ball hits his lower thigh, possibly causing a bruise. He might not be able to continue."

"In the meantime, Coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has called all his players to the sidelines" Kjell Roar said. "It seems he wants to straighten out his team's attitude immediately. Let's pray he's lucky because we don't want this match to be one-sided. That would be too boring."

"Jo Inge" said Coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, his eyebrows fused into wrinkles. "You're the one who suggested you tag Zachary. But what happened on the field? The boy has made trouble for us without facing any pressure. So, Jo, what are you doing? Should I give the task to someone else?"

"No, coach," Jo Inge quickly replied, shaking his head. "I'll be able to mark it. He just caught me off guard in the first few minutes. But it won't happen again."

“It is better not to happen next time,” said Coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, his forehead wrinkled. "And all of you: what exactly are you doing in the field? Why can't you just calm down and play football? Your game is bad. Your passes are messy.winning back possession of the ball. Are you really a professional player?" He swept his gaze across his players just outside the technical area.

"My advice to you is simple" continued the coach after a while. "Play simple football. Keep passing, and don't panic when Rosenborg uses counter-pressing tactics against us. Think of it as if you are playing rondo and look for ways to keep the ball moving. Play as a team and run back to defend every time Rosenberg has the ball. Only Daniel Chima had to stay ahead to keep Rosenborg's defence agitated while the others stayed on. If you follow that simple advice, I can assure you, friends, that Rosenborg will find it quite difficult to score again against us. Are we clear?"

"Yes, coach," the players replied in unison.

"Then get back on the pitch and do your best" said Coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, waving to them with a dismissive hand gesture. "Play like a defending champion, and don't let me down."
