Chapter 264 Game sealed
His eyes became restless and his expression turned ugly. At the same time his mind started to think of different scenarios.
The more closer the opposing player got to him, the more his thoughts started to become messy. After few breathes, he could no longer think clear-headedly.
Having no choice, he then decided to grab the most optimal choice which was present right infront of him; he chose to pass the ball to Hiro.
The moment his gaze landed on Hiro a light flashed past his eyes as an image of Hiro gesturing him to make his run reflected in his eyes.
After releasing the ball from his feet, he then immediately started to run without wasting any time.
The ball rolled between the leg of one of opposing player before finding it’s way to Hiro.
There were already two players tailing him from behind. Thus without even looking, Hiro then performed a chop as he sent the ball out of the box.
“What?!”
Those two players who were tailing him, murmured in shock almost at the same time.
However before they could adjust their thoughts, Hiro nimbly swayed his body and changed his direction.
His footworks insane, his vision unparalleled, when everybody were focused on him, he managed to shift the attention away from him and disappear from the limelight only to appear again after short while.
That chop pass was meant for Kaminari who had almost disappeared after performing that throw-in a moment ago.
The moment players closed to Hiro shifted their attention towards Kaminari, Hiro immediately disappeared from their sight.
As those two players who were tailing after Hiro, refocused their attention towards Hiro, he was nowhere to be seen.
Unable to find him, their heart skipped a beat as they vigorously looked around them in a state of panic.
‘What?! When did he get behind me?’ thought one of the player after seeing Hiro behind him.
Those defenders who were trying to take advantage of Nijichi’s carelessness had already changed their target to Kaminari. And right now, all of them were rushing towards Kaminari.
Kaminari on the other hand, without even trapping the ball played a one-two pass to Hiro who had already left his position and relocated himself in a new position.
All along to perform this high intensity movements, Hiro had been making use of both his skill Eagle Eye and lightning steps.
Eagle eye to locate the most optimal options and lightning steps to increase his mobility. 𝘪𝑎.
All these plays had happened so fast that some opponents were still in daze.
As Kaminari returned back the pass to Hiro, after facing Hiro’s long shots countless times, opposing players naturally assumed that Hiro was going for a shot.
However all along they were still forgetting one thing. Nijichi had started to run but now he was nowhere to be seen.
Subconsciously Mohammed had also assumed that Hiro was going for a shot. However because of some unknown reasons, he was feeling quite restless.
As if something wasn’t right or as if his senses were telling that something was amiss.
The moment most of the players raised there legs to block Hiro’s shot, Mohammad who was rushing towards Kaminari finally realised the reason which was making him restless.
The shot Hiro had pulled off was way off target. Although it contained power, it wasn’t aimed at the post. .
As if he was intentionally hitting the ball outside of the post, unlike his previous accurate shots, this time it was way off target.
But right at this moment, Mohammad’s pupils expanded greatly and his lips became dry. He should be shouting, yet he stood their frozen at his place.
Hiro had never meant to shoot that ball. From the beginning he was planning to pass the ball.
That shot wasn’t actually a shot instead it was a powerful pass to Nijichi who had been running since a moment ago.
From one side to next, right now Nijichi was on the opposite flank rushing towards the ball.
Before most players could even turn around, Nijichi slid down while extending his legs. Because of the power Hiro had put on the ball, Nijichi didn’t even require to kick hard.
All he had to to do was put his legs in between and change the direction of the ball.
And that’s what he did. He only extended his legs without even trying to kick the ball.
The ball as it bounced off Nijichi’s legs, changed it’s direction towards the post.
The keeper of Saudi Arabia had already made his dive earlier to prevent the shot, shot by Hiro. But now while facing this unexpected turn of events, he could do absolutely nothing.
He could only watch like a spectator.
Apart from his height, he knew that he wasn’t anything special. His reflexes were decent not like those world class keepers with insane reflexes. Thus he couldn’t change his direction midway and make another dive.
At once, sea of spectators erupted into euphoria as they witnessed the ball crossing the goal-line.
“Gooooaaaaallllllll!!!”
Their loud cheers reverberated all over the stadium like deafening sound of thunder.
Although the main orchestrator who had orchestrated this amazing play remained silent, Nijichi who had delivered the final flow immediately lifted his body from the ground and rushed towards the sidelines.
Sliding along the way on his legs, he celebrated his goal by yelling at the top his voice, “Yeaahhhhh!!” While throwing his fist in the air.
“Magnificent!! Absolutely magnificent. A brilliant display of team play by players of Japan” spoke the commentator.
Players of Japan continued to celebrate for a while. And only after sometime, did they stop their celebration to return back to their position.
And just like this, they further expanded their lead. Finally as the referee blew the final whistle of the game, announcing the end of the game, all of the players halted their movement.
And just like this Japan easily won the game against Saudi Arabia by a landslide score of 5-1.
