immediately after he passed, he sprang forward. avoiding the obstacles in his way, he swiftly approached the opposing box.
once again, he had disappeared from the range of sight of the opposing players for a moment. amidst the ongoing chaos, hiro swiftly hid his presence. thus it became challenging to track him.
griezmann on the other hand, looked even more threatening. though he wasn't as fast as before, the years of experience had sharpened his senses.
relying on his experiences, griezmann trod his path, swiftly avoiding the crowd.
while on his path, he encountered davies. towering over him, davies stood before him, blocking his path, exerting an intimidating pressure.
his eerie dark pupils looked straight into him as if he could see right into his soul.
griezmann glanced at him, trying to find a space. however, all he could spot was a towering giant standing before him like an unmovable mountain.
rolling his eyes vigorously, he looked further. yet still, the outcome was still the same- there was simply no opening at all.
griezmann's mouth went dry as he realized the predicament he had gotten himself into.
just then he spotted hiro sprinting toward him. the sight of hiro rejoiced him and he couldn't help but feel elated.
hope kindled inside his heart as his eyes lit up with joy.
then he stared directly at davies. their eyes locked for a while, both trying to predict the other's next move.
davies was aware that there wasn't anyone behind him. thus if he were to get beaten then the situation would get extremely dangerous for them.
he knew he was their last line of defense. hence, he couldn't be hasty either. he had to carefully analyze before deciding.
every step needed to be calculated.
he positioned himself vigilantly as he prepared to brace for the impact. one wrong move and everything would end.
having had the opportunity to spend time with messi during his time at barcelona, griezmann had learned a lot from him.
for him, messi was the ideal player who fitted his ideals.
messi didn't need a set of flashy moves to dribble. most of the time, his movements are repetitive. yet still, he manages to procure results most of the time.
thus he was one of the ideal players for him to learn.
body feints, excellent ball control, and an ability to transition quickly. these are the basic things you need to be able to dribble.
and griezmann who had honed his skills for years possessed all these abilities.
griezmann could tell that he was being pushed. but it was what he wanted davies to believe. he wanted him to believe that he was being pushed.
just as he was about to get near the sideline, he swayed his leg above the ball.
davies believing that he was up to something reacted quickly as he prepared to intercept. however, to his surprise, it was merely a faint.
his leg simply glided over the ball without even touching it.
then he executed a brilliant rabona just as the ball was about to roll out of the sideline.
davies felt confused. his focus was solely on griezmann. thus, he wasn't aware of the man rushing toward them from his blind spot.
well, there were a lot of people before him and his vision was partially restricted.
but as he got a closer look at it, his eyes widened in alert.
"hiro!"
his heart skipped a beat the moment he noticed the figure of hiro rushing toward his direction at a threatening pace. it was as if a predator had jumped out of the bush and lunged
toward him.
