After having his moment with his wife, enjoying the little pleasures of life in his simple belated birthday celebration, Sam returned to training refreshed and raring to go.
Mentally and physically, he felt in elite shape.
He never knew how much he needed the rest till Kayla dragged him.
One more thing was different about him though as he returned to training. This time, he had a pendant with him, a pendant that reminded him of home.
With it, Sam felt motivated to work the work and do even more.
He was hyped for the next games. Mentally, he was ready to face the challenges ahead as the season ramped up its intensity.
The season had begun at a relentless pace, but September's second half left no room for complacency. The fixtures came thick and fast, and the tension that brewed in August was now boiling into early-season form battles.
La Liga – Matchday 6.
Oviedo vs Barcelona – Carlos Tiartiere Stadium.
