Chapter 76 Rondo



Chapter 76 Rondo

By the time the evening training came to an end, the sun was already on the verge of setting down.

And as such after punishing the reserve players for their selfish deeds, manager Nozomi concluded the end of the evening training.

While the players who were running on the field stayed overtime to complete their punishment, other players started to head towards the shower to clean themselves.

Accompanied by Yuya, Shunta and Shun, he made his way outside the pitch. .𝘯𝘵

While making his way outside the pitch, he removed his training bib and upper jersey which was completely soaked from his sweat.

And just as he undressed his upper body, he flipped his jersey atop his shoulder and mumbled after letting out a deep sigh;

“Huff!!! Finally I can rest now. From Tokushima to Kawasaki. And without any rest, a match on my first day. Man I’m exhausted!”

“But I do feel sorry for those guys. Even after running for about an hour, they still have to run more.” He continued.

“Those guys deserved it.” Yuya replied sounding somewhat angry while turning his head towards the players who were running on the field.

“Yeah those guys deserved it.” Shunta and Shun nodded their head and voiced their opinions.

Hiro couldn’t refute their statements.

“Haha…. Yeah!! You’re right.” Hiro stretched his right hand towards the back of his head and revealed an awkward smile while scratching his scalp.

Faster!! Faster!!

While their training had came to an end, the training of U-18 team was still going on. Under manager Makoto’s guidance, the U-18 players were playing rondo.

Three groups consisting of eight players each were playing rondo in the U-18 pitch.

Rondo is a type of game, similar to keep away that is used mostly as a form of training drill by the football clubs.

In this game a group of players is tasked with the responsibility of keeping possession of the ball while completing a series of passes, while the other group of players (sometimes only a single player) tries to take the possession.

“Oh they’re playing rondo.” Hiro mumbled in awe while turning his gaze towards the U-18 pitch.

With a temporary white spray, several patterns were drawn across the pitch. And each of those three group were playing inside those patterns, drawn on the pitch.

One group was playing inside a circle, another was playing inside a square and the final one was playing in a triangle.

While six players were standing at the boundary line of the patterns, two players were positioned at the middle of those six players.

While those group of six players were tasked with keeping possession of the ball, the pair of two players on the field was trying to take the possession of the ball from those group of six players.

With swift and timely passes, the six players were trying their best to avoid those two players. And those two players were also trying their best to win the ball back.

“Yeah!! It’s an everyday scene. Since their training ends about half an hour later than us, their coach always makes them play rondo at the end of their training session.” Shun replied.

“The keeper needs to join the game as well?” Hiro asked while pointing at the two groups with keeper.

“Yup. Everybody needs to join it. No exception.” Shun replied.

“Now let’s go. Judging from your skills, you’ll probably get to suffer the training of U-18 by next year. So don’t worry, your time will come. Hahaha” Saying such, Shun and the others began to walk towards the building.

He then casted a final glance at the U-18 pitch and stormed towards the building to join his friends.

Since he was still new to the club, he needed to stick with his teammates to get familiarised with his surrounding.

Before heading into the shower, they stopped by the changing room.

“Place your jersey here. The club will do the laundry.” Yuya mumbled while pointing at a huge basket placed at the changing room.

“But do remember that the club will only take care of your jersey’s. Your personal clothes, you need to wash it yourself. So don’t you ever put your shocks or other clothes in the basket like someone once did.” Yuya continued while staring at Shunta.

“What!! That was only one time. And I wasn’t familiar with the rule.” Shunta mumbled sounding somewhat irritated.

“Hahaha…. Yeah!! Along with his jersey, he even put his underwear in the basket.” Shun burst out in laughter while revealing Shunta’s embarrassing past.

Since the changing room in the hostel building was connected to the shower room, Shunta had once undressed himself completely and put all his clothes into the basket including his underwear before heading to the shower butt naked.

“So do remember you can only put your jersey here. Only jersey!!” Saying such the three of them undressed themselves and put their jersey inside the basket.

Since Hiro had already taken off his upper jersey, he only needed to undress his lower half at that time. Thus after taking off his half pants, he threw his jersey inside the large basket infront of him.

A moment ago, they hadn’t paid any attention towards his body because of the ongoing events. But now that they paid attention to his body, they couldn’t help but notice his muscles.

“Woah!! Look at those muscles. Who knew he’d be hiding such defined muscles underneath his clothes.” Shun mumbled in awe upon witnessing his muscular body.

“Yeah!! Look at those abs. He’s got six pack abs.” Saying such Shunta turned his gaze towards his stomach.

“Man I’m jealous of his body.” Shunta whined sounding somewhat jealous.

“May I touch those muscles?” Shun asked while moving his hands closer towards him.

“No man!! That’s gross.” Saying such, Hiro took a step back.

“Haha… Don’t be shy man. I’m not into boys.” Shun burst out in laughter.

And so did the other two. However Hiro was still getting creepy vibes from Shun and thus he stormed towards the shower room.

The three of them followed behind him while teasing him.

“So what if he’s got a muscular body. Skill is what matters.” Hirato who was standing at the door waiting for them to get undressed, so that he could put his jersey inside the basket, mumbled sounding somewhat annoyed by Hiro and his gang’s conversation while staring at them.

“And he’s skillfull too.” Takekazu who was standing beside him, spoke.

Takekazu’s statement was like salt to his wounds. And thus, after hearing his statement, he got even more irritated.
