Chapter 534: Emperor's Cup V



The opposing fans who had been rather silent for the better part of the game stood up in anticipation. They felt that this was their chance.

As for the fans of the Kawasaki, their expression changed drastically as desperation began to kick in.

The opposing number 9 sprinted as if he were a horse on steroids, leaving behind every single one of his pursuers. It seemed like he wouldn't stop until he reached his destination.

Even Hiro who was seated on the sideline was on his edge.

Desperation and anticipation collided, creating a tense atmosphere in the stadium. It was like the match had suddenly entered its climax.

Even though more than fifty minutes were remaining, it felt like the match had reached its climax. Such was the intensity on the field.

Naoto's mind raced as he made several calculations in an instant. He could tell that his teammates wouldn't be able to reach the ball before the opposing number 9.

So, he had to take matters into his own hands.

Hence, he rushed to clear the ball. Compared to the speed of the opposing number nine, he was like a rabbit fared against a cheetah.

It was a gamble on his part.

But considering the distance, he had deduced to have an almost fifty-fifty odds to get to the ball.

Also, it was better than waiting.

In a while, he proved to be right about his decision to leave the post as he managed to head away the ball.

However, even after he managed to clear the ball away, he still ended up conceding the goal. As he cleared the ball away, unfortunately, it fell on the feet of another opposing player. The player then attempted a shot for the goal from behind the center line.

At that point, all it required was accuracy which he didn't lack.

From a distance, the opposing number eight released the ball. Naoto couldn't have made that one even if he busted his ass.

Tearing through the air, the ball glided straight into the post.

"Goal..."

At once, the opposing fans jumped from their spot, cheering. Smile on their face and excitement in their eyes, they couldn't hold back their elation.

Filled with the cheers of the opposing supporters the stadium became extremely lively.

Shun, however, didn't celebrate the goal. He just stood rooted at his spot, clapping his hands. You could see a subtle smile on his face he wasn't celebrating.

It appeared that they had given up their ambition to go for another goal.

The players of Kawasaki tried every possible means to penetrate the fortress set by the opposing players. However, even after countless trials, they seemed unable to penetrate the sturdy line of defense the opposing team had erected.

Their failed effort was starting to hamper the morale of the team. Many young players were starting to show signs of frustration.

"Just come out of your shell, you damn turtle bastard"

One of the Kawasaki players cussed, clearly annoyed by the tactics of the opposing team.

Their defense was testing his patience.

Finally, he had been allowed to display his talent. Yet, he couldn't bring any results. If it continues, who knows if he'll get another opportunity?

So the stubbornness of the opposing team to come in front was growing on him.

It wasn't just him. A few others were in a similar situation.

Almost sixty minutes had already passed. And if it continued they'd turn into a laughing stock. The mighty team from the first division lost against a team from the second division.

Just ridiculous would it sound?

The reporters and netizens would haul them with criticism.

Moreover, they'd be labeled as a team that couldn't even manage to win a game against a club

from the second division without Hiro's help.

Just then the crowd who seemed to have their vitality until a moment ago started cheering all

of a sudden.

Just what caused such a change?

Many players couldn't help but feel curious about the sudden cheers.

Curious, many glanced at the crowd amidst the ongoing match. However, they couldn't find

anything in the stands.

Then they turned to look at the sidelines.

There they found Hiro warming up.

All of a sudden everything made sense as they saw him.
