459 Evolving II

Zachary positioned himself strategically close to the center circle while waiting for the opposing keeper to take the goal kick. Even in the rain, his breathing was steady as he hadn't made a lot of runs during the opening fifteen minutes.

Obviously, he'd followed Coach Trombetta's advice and remained quiet and almost inconspicuous on the field of play. He had chosen to conserve energy while assessing and studying the opponents in a bid to uncover their weaknesses. He was also busy strategizing how to break them when an opportune moment presented itself. He was just like an assassin, waiting in the dark for the perfect opportunity to unleash his burst of skills and destroy the enemy.
