(Can Sam's career still kick off in Spain?)

(Due to the scandal, the young Nigerian midfielder's life in Spain have gone through a truly bumpy start. Can the young Nigerian turn his situation around, turning adversity to blessing after being proven not guilty?)

Just like expected, mere minutes after the end of the court hearing in Spain, prominent news platforms, mostly football news platforms became active as they spread the news like wildfire burning in harmattan.

Hours before the hearing even started, they were all already prepared for this moment and none of them lagged behind.

Across the world of football, there was a lot of speculations, what would become of Sam if he was proven guilty?

Guess the football world will never know.

Due to the sheer amount of publicity that surrounded the scandal and the number of esteemed individuals who came for the court hearing, outside the court building was already turned into a press conference hall by popular media organizations.

They were eager to have interviews with the esteemed individuals who were present during the court hearing.

The reporters did not hold back, going on a hunting spree as they trapped big names like Robert Lewandowski and Pedri, making them answer a question or 2 regarding the result of the court hearing and what they thought about it.

Lewandowski's reply was crisp.

"I may not be too close to Sam but I know that he's a good brother, I believed that he didn't harass a girl and why I stood up for him".

"The result of the court hearing just proves that I am right".

"Sam is innocent".

When it came to the trio of Pedri, Gavi, and Lamine Yamal, the 3 Spanish players echoed their sentiments in relation to the situation.

Their answer was even simpler than the Polish striker's.

"Sam is disciplined".@@novelbin@@

"He wants to become the best player in the world, I don't believe he would sacrifice all of that because of a girl named Amaka".

"This is why we believed in him".

Who is Samuel Moses?

To football fans, for every big player that they love, they could not help but have a similar question about them, who was that player?

They may be fans, but some of them understood that they only knew the peripheral of that player's life, they didn't' have access to the inside world of that player's life till it was actively explained to them.

Today, after the end of the court hearing, that question was gradually being answered as the answers of the esteemed guests opened the mystery door into Sam's psyche, making them gradually understand how his brain worked.

Other big names were forced to have an interview and of the big names, one of the reporters recognized one of them to be part of the elite guard force that was contracted to look over Sam during the period of his detainment.

One of the reporters was lucky enough to snap up this insider, interviewing him. "Good sir, we learned that you were part of the elite guard force tasked to watch over Sam, what do you think about the outcome of the court hearing?"

The guard looked at the reporter with a poker look on his face. "Hard evidence supported it so I have no scruples, Sam is not guilty".

"Nothing beats hard evidence".

"If anything, we are the ones in the wrong for detaining him unjustly".

"Since I'm already here, I would just like to use this opportunity to ask for an apology," he looked at the camera. "We sincerely hope Mr. Samuel understands and find a place in his heart to forgive us".

The female reporter smiled. "Mr., please one last question, who is Samuel Moses?"

"Huh?" The guard stared at the reporter, confused.

The reporter explained. "I mean Sam as a person. A lot of his fans are eager to know more about him, and since you stayed with him and guarded him for so long, we thought maybe you knew something about him that we don't".

Hearing that explanation, the guard finally understood as he smiled. "Sam…, let me say he's an eccentric person".

"What do you mean?"

The guard chuckled. "I don't know much about him yet but during the time of his detainment, I noticed something strange and peculiar".

This guard smiled for the first time in this interview as he seemed to recall a specific memory. "Throughout his time in detainment, a day never passed that Mr. Samuel failed to train".

"…!"

The reporter's eyes widened as wide as saucers as she stared at this man. "You mean while he was stuck in detainment, despite everything, the online abuse, that Sam till had the motivation to keep on training?"

"Yeah". The guard chuckled.

"Even in captivity?!"

"Yeah," the guard confirmed again and left.

Those words by the guard…, they stirred up a storm online.
