For a brief moment, the crowd didn't know what to make of his celebration. Was he paying homage? Was he thanking them? Was he taunting them?
The outcry a second later was massive as they concluded it must have been the latter.
Lukas raised his head from the bow, smiling as they booed him. He could see the anger in their faces as they piled on the metal railing in front of the stands.
Bahoya was his first teammate to get to him as he hooked his hands around Lukas's shoulder and pointed to his chest in front of the crowd. Larsson, Ekitike, Hojlund, and the rest joined soon after as they screamed at Lukas.
"I really should stop doubting you," Theate said as he shook hands with Lukas.
"You really shouldn't. Else how do I prove myself? I need someone to prove wrong."
The two laughed as they set out for their half of the pitch to resume the match.
