The new season, 2020–21, arrived with the weight of history on Liverpool's shoulders. The team had just come off the greatest year in modern football. Fans wondered if they could do it again.
For Zachary Bemba, the question was never about dipping after success. His entire career had been built on discipline, on habits repeated daily until they became a way of life.
The Community Shield at Wembley was the first test. Arsenal stood in their way, full of energy and eager to make a statement. Zachary was sharp from the first whistle. He scored the opener with a curling shot from the edge of the box, then assisted Firmino with a delicate through ball that split Arsenal's defense in two. Liverpool lifted their first trophy of the season, and the press wrote headlines that felt familiar: Bemba decisive again.
