Chapter 707: Starting eleven
Time elapsed like the grain of sand in an hourglass. During this period, Hiro's popularity kept soaring. With every new accolade, Hiro was turning into a mega-celebrity.
However, despite his performance, he still wasn't getting starting minutes. He had been patient about starting.
Though he agreed with Diego's decision, Hiro couldn't help but feel frustrated. He still hadn't played a full match despite playing more than eight games.
The next match was with Barcelona, a rather important match that could determine the fate of the title race. Yet, still, he hadn't been informed about his position in the team.
This uncertainty made him anxious.
Just now, the training had been finished, and the players were returning.
Hiro, however, didn't feel like returning. He remained at the pitch, staring at the returning figure of the coaches. He had been hoping for an answer.
However, it seemed like he wouldn't be getting one soon.
Hiro couldn't help but contort his face in annoyance. Frowning, he glanced at the setting sun on the distant horizon. The sky was a tapestry of ethereal colors, the orange mixing with the purple. Flocks of birds could be seen flying toward the setting sun.
The cloud was painted in pink and purple hues.
"Still no response huh?" Hiro muttered under his breath, sounding rather dejected.
He had been performing well in almost every match until now, registering eight goals under his name. Combined with the assists he had provided, Hiro had already registered twelve goal contributions under his name, making him one of the most valuable members of the team.
Just the numbers alone were evidence of his importance in the team.
Yet still, he couldn't detect any chances of him playing the full ninety minutes. He had been expecting Diego to address this issue.
However, Diego and the rest of the coaching staff were already leaving the pitch without saying anything.
Conversing, they headed inside.
Most of the members had already left the locker room. However, there were still a few lingering around.
"Oh! The name sheet has arrived," Alvarez's gaze darted toward the announcement board. There, he noticed the name sheet for the next match.
"Hiro, you're starting." He announced excitedly.
While going through the name list, he couldn't help but notice Hiro's name on the list. Hiro
was included in the starting eleven.
Hiro was getting changed. Upon hearing his name, Hiro's eyes perked up. However, he quickly calmed himself down.
It wasn't the first time he was starting after all.
"You might get to play the entire match this time," Alvarez said cheerfully.
Hiro felt optimistic about the upcoming match. However, he didn't reveal the joy he felt on his face and kept a straightforward expression.
It was the first time he was visiting the newly renovated Camp Nou of Barcelona. Well, now that they had sold their stadium's naming rights, it was called Spotify Camp Nou.
He had always wanted to visit the stadium.
Hiro remembered that some of his friends also expressed their desire to visit the stadium
once in their lifetime.
Thinking about those wishes, Hiro couldn't help but think about his friends.
'Maybe, I should gift some tickets to them.' Hiro thought.
