Against All Odds: Legacy Of A Football King

As the crowd's noise faded into the post-match buzz, the cameras followed Benjamin as he walked off the pitch with sweat dripping from his brow but his face glowing with satisfaction.

The AZ Alkmaar fans stayed behind, chanting his name, their voices growing louder with each repetition.

[Well, if there was any doubt about Benjamin Rijkaard's potential, I think we can safely put that to rest tonight,] Mike said, his voice still buzzing with excitement. [Three consecutive Man of the Match awards in the Eredivisie. Let's just look at his stats again—six matches total in all competitions, ten goals, nine assists. And he's seventeen!]

[And let's not forget, Mike, that includes two hat-tricks in just four league appearances,] his co-commentator added, shaking his head. [Those are numbers you'd expect from an experienced striker, not a teenager breaking into the first team...in his first season]
