Rushing towards the goalpost after snatching the ball away from Ryui’s feet, Hiro quickly shook his head around him to look for his teammates.
Tatsuki was being tightly marked by Junpei Isido. Kenta was being followed by the opposing winger. And the other two centre midfielders and right mid of his team were still far behind him.
Infront of him were two centre back of FC Tokyo and behind him Ryui Asada was chasing him.
With non of his teammates available to make a pass, he was completely surrounded.
[Now what will Hiro do? Most of his teammates are still behind him. And his only teammate who’s in the attacking third is Tatsuki. However he too is being tightly marked by Junpei Isido. Time is ticking and he needs to act fast or else the opposing players will catch up to him] Building up the suspense, commentator made his comment.
Fans of Kawasaki leaned their body forward while holding their breath. Fear in their eyes, some fans were shaking while staring at Hiro with their eyes wide open.
With their heart pounding faster with every passing seconds, all of them were anxiously waiting for Hiro to make his decision.
Focusing all his attention towards the goalpost, Hiro continued to dribble the ball forward without slowing down.
Quickly one of the centre back of FC Tokyo rushed forward to stop Hiro while the other stayed behind him to keep watch on Hiro.
Just as the defender approached closer to him, Hiro swayed his upper body towards the left side.
Thinking that Hiro was going to move towards his right, the defender too followed him. However just as he tried to move towards his right side, Hiro swung his body towards Hiro’s right side. Performing a body feint, Hiro dribbled past the defender.
The other defender standing behind, quickly rushed forward to cover up the mistake of his teammate.
However before he could catch up to Hiro, Hiro shot the ball towards the post. Swiftly evading the defender infront, the ball headed towards the goalpost, unobstructed.
Shouten Kobayashi, FC Tokyo U-18’s goalkeeper leaped towards the direction of the ball. However he still fell short and ended up conceding the goal.
[Gooooaaaaallllllll!!!!]
“Gooooaaaaallllllll!!!!”
Shouted both the commentator and the fans at the same time. Standing up from their seats, supporters of Kawasaki began to celebrate Hiro’s goal by waving their scarfs and flags.
Cheering at the top of their lungs, their happiness knew no bound. Completely forgetting that they were in kids game and not in J-league games, they celebrated Hiro’s goal as if their national player scored a goal in world cup.
[Wizard of Kawasaki has once again demonstrated his magic on the pitch. A powerful shot from outside the box and he has opened the scoresheet at 28th minute of the match. That’s why you need to be wary of him whenever he has the ball in his feet.] Sounding all enthusiastic, the commentator made exaggerating comments about Hiro after he scored the goal.
After scoring the goal, Hiro ran towards the side of the stand where most of the fans of Kawasaki were clustered.
His teammates chased after him to celebrate the goal. And just as Hiro reached the stand, he leaped from the ground and threw a punch midair, pointing towards the crowd.
While hovering in midair, he yelled at the top his lungs, “Woooo!!!!” 𝒍𝒊𝒓𝒆𝒂.𝓬𝒐𝓶
The fans copied his action and parroted after him, “Woooooo!!!!”
Cheering and shouting, Kawasaki’s fans continued to celebrate Hiro’s goal. Smile on their faces, they were filled with joy.
However the same couldn’t be said for the fans of FC Tokyo. Their hands placed on their temples and their eyes squinted, they looked quite disappointed. As if dark clouds were hovering across their part of the stand, the section occupied by the fans of FC Tokyo seemed quite gloomy.
After some moments of celebration, the game continued with the sound of referee’s whistle.
Beeeeeeeep!!!
Keeping their passes short, players of FC Tokyo U-18 tried to move the ball forward after conceding the goal on 28th minute of the match.
Clap!! Clap!! Clap!!
“Let’s go Kawasaki”
Fans of Kawasaki began to chant. Just like a blooming flower, fan’s of Kawasaki were full of vitality.
[Seems like that goal of Hiro has sparked some flames in the stands. Fans of Kawasaki are letting out an energetic roar.]
While the commentator was making such comments, one of the opposing player lost control of the ball due to the pressure from the stands.
While trying to pass the ball towards Tsubasa Watanabe, left winger of FC Tokyo U-18 made a mistake by kicking the ball lightly.
Sensing an opportunity, Hiro dashed towards the lose ball and got hold of the ball. He then once again began to dribble the ball forward.
Learning from his earlier mistake, Ryui Asada rushed towards Hiro to block his path. Ryunosuke did the same as well.
However instead of trying to dribble through them, Hiro kicked the ball hard toward the left flank which seemed completely vacant.
‘Who’s there?’ Turning his head towards the direction of the ball, Ryui Asada thought.
‘Huh!! Nobody’s there. Did he get nervous?’ Exhaling a short breath, he calmed himself, thinking that the ball was going out of bounds.
However, the ball didn’t go out of bounds and instead it curved.
Just then a player came rushing towards the ball. Black hair, lanky body, he was Kenta Yui. Sprinting towards the ball, he trapped the ball before it went out of bounds.
Because of the talent “Kevin De Bruyne’s passing sense”, Hiro had sensed the presence of Kenta just by slightly turning his head towards the left side of the pitch.
And since his passing stats were also increased because of the talent, he was able to copy the techniques of Kevin De Bruyne. Although his techniques was still unrefined as compared to the original techniques of De Bruyne, Hiro could still mimick the lower version of De Bruyne’s passing.
Getting the hold of the ball, Kenta began to rush towards the goal. Catching everyone off-guard, Kenta sprinted like a wild horse.
‘How the hell did he even see him?’ Thought Ryui while rushing back to defend his goal.
‘Does he have eyes at the side of his temple?’ Thought Ryunosuke while trying to take a peek at Hiro.
However Hiro was nowhere to be seen.
“Where?” Mumbled Ryunosuke with his eyes wide open after failing to find Hiro at his original place.
He then looked infront, towards his goalpost. And just as he looked infront, he found Hiro rushing towards the post.
Already at the edge of middle third, Hiro was like 15 yards away from him.
‘When the hell did he get there?’ Sounding all annoyed, Ryunosuke began to sprint back.
