Chapter 276 Arcade End
Be it his focus, stance, stillness or his run-up, every single one of his actions greatly amplified the emotions of people present around him.
Curious hearts grew even more, anxious eyes grew even more anxious, fearful minds got even more fearful. Hiro’s actions greatly amplified the emotions of the people.
And right now while he was second away from shooting the ball, as many people present around him held their breathes, the air around him got extremely heavy.
Prayers of South Korean players intensified as some of them tightly shut their eyes- unwilling to see their doom.
Even those cheerful faces which were radiating with joy, now seemed a bit pale as it carried a hint of anticipation.
Bam!!
A loud sound echoed as Hiro’s left foot made contact with the ball.
Countless eyes jolted towards the direction of ball as it rigidly followed the path of the ball. Almost nobody present in the crowd could take their eyes off the ball.
Only Hiro who had yet to stabilise his posture wasn’t looking at the ball.
“Please miss”
“Please miss”
“Please miss”
Such comments kept on piling as many people prayed like crazy while watching the video streamed by Kim Tae-ri.
Kim Tae-ri however was marvelled by the scene taking place infront of her. Her black pupils were glowing with admiration.
However that didn’t mean that she wanted Hiro to score. Her desire was similar to every other fellow Koreans- she desperately wanted Hiro to miss.
Despite wanting Hiro to miss this freekick, her eyes were saying otherwise as it was reacting quite opposite to her desire. She should be despairing, yet her eyes were showing signs of excitement.
“Low” Park Seung-gyu who was intently staring at the scene unfolding infront of his eyes unwittingly blurted as his eyes revealed a deep shock.
The ball was still flying, so how could he tell that Hiro was aiming low? He could tell it by judging the trajectory of the ball.
The ball, after leaving from Hiro’s foot had already started dropping even though it hadn’t even crossed half the path.
As the ball dropped some distance away from the keeper, South Korean players heart sank. Their brows knotted as their eyes displayed horror hidden within.
Predicting the direction of the ball, keeper dived towards the direction of the ball.
However after dropping infront of the keeper, the ball bounced irregularly because of the spin placed on the ball.
Although Hiro couldn’t use his skill Fireball Shot, Hiro was still a technical player with insane ball control and technique.
The keeper however still moved up and down continuously, trying to predict the direction of the ball to make a save.
Barely missing the reach of the keeper, the ball then crossed the goal-line as it slammed against the net.
At once a loud sound erupted, “Gooooaaaaallllllll!!!”
Those curious and anxious gazes were now filled with marvell and disbelief.
The crowd went wild as they shouted like crazy. Many people present in the crowd, they couldn’t believe what their eyes witnessed at this moment.
Shun and the rest, jumped as they hugged each other while shouting, “Gooooaaaaallllllll!!!” energetically at the top of their voice.
They couldn’t care less if their throats dried or their voice subsided. Their already high morale was now trying to reach the heaven.
Hiro was like a magician.
That shot was neither powerful nor straightforward. The short distance curve, the spin on the ball and the thought to drop the ball infront of the keeper to trick the keeper, everything was out of ordinary.
A lot of people had tried this game, yet Hiro was the only one who had thought to use such technique.
“That little boy is a magician” one of the spectator joyously exclaimed.
A sharp contrast to this euphoric atmosphere, faces of South Korean players which were already as pale as paper, paled even further as it turned grim.
The hope which they were clinging on to, shrinked even further as a feeling of helplessness and despair started gnawing upon them.
‘Why is he so good at taking freekick?’
‘The god is really unfair’
‘We will go up against such a monster?’
Such thoughts appeared one after other as South Korean players distress further intensified. The fear within them started growing uncontrollably.
Hiro on the other hand who had actually gambled this shot thanked his luck, ‘Thankfully it went in’
Although to others it felt like a meticulously thought up shot, in actuality it was more like a gamble. Hiro knew that the keeper would dive upon sensing the ball.
Thus by making the ball bounce infront of the keeper, he’d delay the arriving time of the ball. And if he added spin to it, that would make the timing and direction of ball even more irregular. 𝑖𝘦.𝒸𝘰𝘮
And Hiro wanted to take advantage of this irregularity. However he wasn’t sure about the reaction of the keeper.
Whether the keeper would stay at one place or move vigorously. He wasn’t sure of that before.
His thoughts were infact rather simple. If the keeper only moved once, the ball would bounce above the hands of keeper.
However if the keeper moved to correct it’s mistake, he could only rely on luck. And he hadn’t thought of this.
However the moment when the keeper moved up and down, truth be told, even he was anxious. Afterall he hadn’t thought so far.
While many people around him continued to celebrate, Hiro secretly heaved a sigh of relief, “Sigh!!”
Hiro was extremely grateful that this plan worked out somehow.
Because of this goal, a lot of heart broke at the same time a lot of people were left disappointed. Specially those netizens watching this event from behind the screen.
With this goal, Hiro further increased the lead between the two sides.
However Park Seung-gyu was very reluctant to admit his sides defeat. Although he was losing, he didn’t give up.
He tried to imitate Hiro’s technique, however ot failed. Even so Hiro too failed to score afterwards.
And just like that the duel went on. Finally after some time, Hiro’s side won the duel with a score of 14-12.
