The Greatest of all Time

Chapter 691  The 2018-19 English Premier League Challenge

When Zachary eventually stirred from his slumber, he blinked, squinting against the bright morning light pouring into his room. Glancing at his phone, he realized it was already 11:30 AM. But even at that late hour, the cozy bed still seemed to call out to his name.

His new mansion in Woolton featured a spacious, modern bedroom adorned with captivating minimalist art and sleek, functional furniture. Large windows bathed the room in natural light, creating a serene atmosphere that made it difficult to leave the comforting embrace of the inviting bed with its crisp white sheets and plush pillows.

Despite the allure of lounging in bed, Zachary summoned his determination, shaking off his exhaustion and compelling himself to start the day. With a determined resolve, he finally roused himself and made his way to the bathroom.

The bathroom was equally luxurious, with marble countertops and a walk-in shower that doubled as a steam room. The cool tiles under Zachary's bare feet helped wake him up as he splashed water on his face and brushed his teeth. After a quick shower, he felt more awake, though the fatigue from the previous night's match and the long journey back still weighed on him.

Returning to his bedroom, Zachary unrolled his yoga mat on the floor. The spacious room provided ample space for his customary yoga routine. He moved through a series of stretches, focusing on his breathing and the sensation of his muscles extending and relaxing. The yoga helped ease the post-match fatigue and cleared his mind, preparing him for the day ahead.

After wrapping up his yoga session, Zachary made a beeline for the kitchen. The culinary haven boasted top-of-the-line appliances and a spacious island at its heart. He opened the fridge and retrieved some eggs, spinach, and tomatoes.

In a few minutes, he whipped up a delightful, healthy breakfast: a spinach and tomato omelet accompanied by a serving of whole-grain toast and a refreshing glass of freshly squeezed orange juice.

As he sat at the island, savoring each bite, Zachary found solace in the peaceful atmosphere of the kitchen. Its tranquility provided a welcome respite from the clamor and frenzy of last night's game. The chirping of birds outside and the warm sunlight streaming through the windows painted a serene scene that further calmed his mind.

Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he remembered the system notification that had sounded a few times over the past few days.

The memory of the faint chime resonating in his mind quickly returned to him. It had dinged again after the game the previous night, probably informing him of a new mission. But with all the excitement and the presence of his teammates and coaches, he hadn't checked the messages. He had been too preoccupied to think about it until now.

Zachary finished his breakfast and cleaned up quickly. Now that he had some time to kill and was settled alone, he decided to summon the system interface. The kitchen's calm ambiance provided the perfect backdrop for him to focus and engage with the system.

He took a deep breath and closed his eyes, willing the system interface to appear. Within moments, a translucent blue screen materialized before his eyes, displaying several menus. He quickly scanned through them until he found the ones related to the new missions under the GOAT Missions tab.

Zachary's eyes lit up as he read through the mission details. As always, the system recognized the importance of the next stage of his career and wanted to motivate him. The rewards were enticing, promising significant enhancements to his abilities and overall profile.

Just then, he noticed another mission, already marked as completed. Intrigued, he tapped on it to reveal the details.

#HIDDEN MISSION COMPLETE: Debut Brilliance

Objective: Put up an incredible performance in your debut match for Liverpool.

Status: Completed (Rating: SS)

Rewards: SS-grade vitality-enhancing elixir

****

A smile spread across Zachary's face as he read the rewards for the Debut Brilliance mission.

Although his body had already grown immune to the effects of the SS-grade vitality-enhancing elixir, meaning he couldn't use it to enhance his attributes, he could still keep the potent elixir for future use as it was also a potent medicine that could heal any injuries almost instantaneously. The realization of having such a powerful remedy at his disposal gave him a sense of security and preparedness.

As Zachary returned his focus to the new 2018-19 Premier League Challenge mission, he couldn't help but compare it to his previous achievements.

The rewards for this mission were much less than those he acquired when he won the World Cup with Ivory Coast a few weeks ago. It made sense, though; Liverpool was already a dominant force in the Premier League, fiercely competing with Manchester City for titles.

The system must have deemed the task of helping Liverpool win the league easier, hence the fewer rewards. But Zachary was not discouraged. He knew there were future seasons to look forward to, times when Liverpool might be in a pinch, and he would reap more rewards from the system.

Satisfied with his reflections, Zachary got up from the kitchen table. The serenity of the morning and the quiet ambiance of his mansion had given him a moment to gather his thoughts and plan his next steps. He returned to his bedroom, the large windows offering a view of the well-manicured garden outside.

He quickly donned a cap and a fresh Nike tracksuit, feeling the comfortable fabric against his skin. He then slipped on his sneakers as his thoughts shifted to the day's agenda.

First on the list was heading to Melwood to begin a more meticulous post-match recovery routine. The club's state-of-the-art recovery facilities were second to none, and he intended to make the most of them.

As he left his bedroom, he took a moment to appreciate his surroundings. The modern design and luxurious furnishings of his new mansion in Woolton were a far cry from his humble beginnings. The journey up to this point had been long and challenging, but moments like these made it all worthwhile.

He walked downstairs, his footsteps echoing in the spacious hallway. The mansion was quiet, almost eerily so, but it was a quiet he welcomed. It allowed him to focus, to center himself, and to remain focused on football.

Pausing at the front door, he took a deep breath before stepping outside. The crisp morning air filled his lungs, revitalizing him. He was eager to head to Melwood and kick-start his post-match recovery routine.

This time, he decided not to call Ray, Liverpool's player liaison, to drive him to Melwood. With time to kill and reassurances from his teammates about the safety of moving alone around Liverpool, he chose to take a bus. He wanted to experience more of the city that would be his home for the next few years.

As he left his mansion in Woolton, he basked in the glorious noon sun that enveloped the neighborhood in a comforting warmth. The tranquil surroundings offered a perfect start to his day, a soothing contrast to the bustling city life of Turin that he had been accustomed to.

Strolling along the leafy streets, he savored the peace and the occasional friendly acknowledgment from passersby. Woolton's historical charm and suburban tranquility cast a spell on him, making him feel right at home.

When he reached the bus stop on Allerton Road, he was greeted by the first small group of fans. Liverpool supporters were known for their passion and loyalty, but they also respected their players' privacy. As Zachary approached, a couple of fans recognized him. They exchanged smiles and gave him a nod of appreciation.

One young boy, holding a Liverpool scarf, shyly asked for an autograph, which Zachary gladly provided. Another fan, wearing a Mohamed Salah jersey, requested a quick selfie, and Zachary obliged, knowing how much these moments meant to the supporters.
