THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME
chapter-615

The Juventus team had a challenging time in Berlin, where they played against Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League Final. Although they lost the game, the team left the city with their heads held high and their spirits unbroken on Monday morning, knowing they had played their best.

As they stepped off the plane at Turin-Caselle Airport, they were greeted by a heartwarming and unexpected sight: a large crowd of devoted fans waving banners and chanting their names. The supporters had gathered to show their unwavering love for the team despite the disappointment of the defeat.

The players, who were visibly tired and emotionally drained after enduring the intense game, were deeply moved by the passion and energy of the fans. They stopped to take photos and sign autographs for the supporters, who never stopped cheering and applauding them.

Amidst the cheers and applause of their supporters, the players finally boarded the team bus, eager to leave behind the football season and embark on their well-deserved vacations. Their fans' unwavering support had been a constant source of motivation, helping them to keep their spirits high throughout the season. The players were grateful for the loyalty and encouragement they received from their fans.

"Hey Zachary, I'm curious! What exciting plans do you have for this much-awaited vacation?" Patrice Evra asked with a friendly smile as the bus left the airport.

"Nothing much," said Zachary, "just planning to travel while working out with my fitness coach."

"Wow, that's fascinating!" Evra exclaimed. "If you get a chance, you should definitely consider visiting France. I would be happy to host you and take you on a tour of Paris. It's an experience you won't regret."

"Interesting idea," Zachary pondered. "But I need to discuss it with my travel companion first. I'll let you know my decision later."

Evra was about to add something, but the team bus joined a busier road, and more crowds of supporters appeared, cheering and chanting the Juventus team slogans while waving their banners at the passing bus. Zachary gazed out at the enthusiastic fans and sighed, "They're still cheering us, even after we lost the final. Can you imagine how ecstatic they would have been if we had won?"

"I can only imagine," Evra let out a regretful sigh. "If only we had won, we wouldn't hide inside these buses. Instead, we would be up there, on top of the bus, presenting the trophy to this beautiful city while our fans cheered us on. It would have been a magnificent scene."

Zachary slumped back into his seat and muttered, "But we didn't win!" The Champions League final had not gone as planned, and his mood was down in the gutters. However, he took a deep breath and composed himself before continuing his conversation with Evra, who was seated next to him on the bus.

They chatted about everything from the just-concluded season to upcoming international games and even reminisced about Evra's role in Manchester United's 2008 Champions League victory. Their conversation only came to an end when the bus rolled into the parking lot of the Vinovo – Juventus' training center.

As Zachary said his goodbyes to his teammates and coaches, he couldn't wait to get in his sleek black Audi RS7 and head home. Waiting for him was Riccardo Lorenzo, his trusted driver and bodyguard, who greeted him with a warm smile and opened the car door for him.

As they hit the highway, they chatted about the Champions League final and navigated through the bustling Turin traffic. After an hour, they finally arrived at Zachary's stunning mansion in Pinerolo, Piedmont. It was the perfect place to unwind and relax after a long weekend that had been filled with ups and downs.

"There he is!"

"It's the man himself."

As the car came to a halt, Zachary was startled by loud yells from the mansion's front door. He wondered if he had arrived at the wrong place. However, when he exited the car, he was immediately surrounded by a crowd of familiar faces. Kristin Stein, Emily, Bj?rn Peters with his wife, Boyd Johansen (his former coach), Kasongo, a few other former teammates, and even the Old Mr. Stein were standing before the front entrance, beaming at him with warmth and affection. It was an unexpected and heartwarming surprise for Zachary.

"What's all this about?" Zachary inquired.

Emily, his agent, stepped forward and gave him a friendly grin. "Come on, don't be a party pooper. We've put together a cozy gathering to welcome you back from Berlin. We only want you to join us in celebrating the amazing opening season you've had with Juventus. Would you do us the honor?"

Zachary's heart swelled with joy as he heard the response. He couldn't wait to chat with his friends and join the festivities. After dropping his luggage off upstairs and taking a refreshing cold shower, he was ready to party! As the day turned into evening, Zachary laughed, danced, and enjoyed himself with his friends, making memories that would last a lifetime.

Most of his visitors, including Emily, Kristin, and Mr. Stein, eventually left the mansion around 9:00 PM. He then excused himself from the still energetic Bj?rn Peters and his wife and went upstairs to his bedroom. He was eager to review the recently completed system missions.

"System!" he mumbled. "Bring up the 2014–15 UEFA Champions League Serial Challenge completion details!"

"Command received," the system's indifferent voice echoed in Zachary's mind. "The details of the mission are now available on the interface. Please take a moment to review them."

Zachary nodded and focused on the shimmering, transparent screen that had materialized before him. Without delay, he began to scrutinize the specifics of the completed task..
