"Tch~" he bitterly clicked his tongue. The ball flew inside the box. But he changed his direction. Instead of rushing ahead like most of his teammates, he paused as he began to scan the field. It's not that he didn't trust Tominaga. But it would take something special for him to reach the ball against the odds. First, the delivery was rather weak. Second, he was going up against three defenders who towered over him. Third, Matsuda could easily punch the ball away if he timed his jump. Against all this odd, it was unlikely that he'd reach the ball. So, rushing ahead would only put them in danger. Hence, while his teammates rushed ahead blindly, he paused. "Why is he not supporting his teammates?" one of the coaching staff said, displeased by his momentary pause. However, Nanami had a different reaction. His eyes bulged with excitement while a subtle smirk graced his lips. It was as if he was enthralled. 'He can see it' Then as Daiki headed the ball away, it fell on Sato's feet. His teammates panicked as they began to retreat hastily. The look on the face of the one who made the cross was a sight to behold. Alarmed, he began to falter. Without wasting any second, Sato struck the ball hard sending it flying. It was headed in the direction of Yuki who was often regarded as the strategist. He had an uncanny ability to find open spaces in the field. And, his tactical acumen and vision on the field, it was otherworldly. To top it all, he was a great dribbler too. But Hiro had already seen it. He had seen the pass. But the only thing that prevented him from intercepting the pass was the distance. He was way too far away from him. Well, it'd have been near-impossible for others. But it wasn't the case with him. Spamming his skill 'Lightning Steps', he closed the distance instantly. Noticing his acceleration, Yuki stepped in front. He couldn't wait for the ball to reach him. If he waited long enough, the pass might not even connect. So, he made a quick decision as he stepped ahead to receive the pass. Yet still, Hiro didn't stop his pursuit. He continued to accelerate even after knowing that he wouldn't get to the ball before Yuki. His effort seemed pointless. And, almost all the coaching staff were frowning. But only Nanami remained indifferent. The pass connected successfully as Yuki reached the ball before anyone else. If only Hiro would have started his chase three seconds earlier, he'd have intercepted the pass. But if he'd had started his chase earlier, Sato wouldn't have made the pass in the first place. For sure, he'd have made a different decision if he had seen Hiro. Desperate to steal the ball, Hiro attempted a sliding tackle on Yuki. Yuki swiftly avoided his tackle by making a simple turn.
Now, if I just block him, I should be able to delay his chase. Watanabe was aware that he couldn't compete against Hiro in terms of speed. So, he opted for the most reasonable option— block him before he gets to use his feet. But before he could rejoice further, Hiro easily avoided him and rushed towards the ball.
Running parallel to the sideline, he reached the ball almost at the same time as the opposing defender. Then he pulled a Maradona Turn to trick the defender. ViiSiit for latest novels
