Chapter 148 Kawasaki vs Tokyo V
Walking out of the tunnel, players of both the team slowly began to make their way towards the pitch after about 10 minutes rest.
Staring at each other with disdainful eyes, it was clear that players of both the teams were still holding grudges against each other and their anger hadn't died down yet.
[Is it only me or does the atmosphere between the two team feel kinda heavy right now?] Noticing their stern gazes, commentator couldn't help himself from commentating about the evident tension between the two teams.
[Perhaps something might have taken place in that 10 minute break inside the tunnel.] Commentator guessed.
And as every player got into their respective position, the referee took a peek at his watch and blew the whistle.
Beep!!
Hearing the sound of referee's whistle, Tsubasa passed the ball to Ryunosuke and initiated the starting of the second half.
Aggressively pressing right from the beginning of the second half, almost all of their attacking players started to run forward.
Dashing towards Ryunosuke, Tatsuki tried to snatch the ball away from Ryunosuke's feet. Ryunosuke however lightly tapped the ball and slid the ball between the legs of Tatsuki.
After that Ryunosuke crossed the ball to his team's left winger.
Takeshi Ogawa, who was playing as right midfielder in that match, quickly stepped forward to block the path of the opposing left winger.
The left winger inturn passed the ball to Tsubasa and began to make his run forward.
Tsubasa performed a one touch through pass and sent the ball back to the left winger who was making his run towards the opposing defensive third.
[Great through pass by Tsubasa. But will Kisei Yoshida be able to dribble past Ehara?]
Ehara, Kawasaki's right back rushed towards the opposing left winger to defend the ball.
Keeping his gaze fixated at the ball, Ehara was totally focused on the ball.
Kisei Yoshida, FC Tokyo's left winger, calmly approached Ehara. Taking a quick peek at Ehara's face, Kisei performed a body feint and tricked Ehara.
After tricking and getting past Ehara, Kisei crossed the ball inside the penalty box.
Tomoyasu left his position and rushed towards the ball to punch it away. And as the ball started to fall down, Tomoyasu leaped towards the direction of the ball, while trying to punch the ball away.
At the same time, Tsubasa too leaped towards the ball to head the ball. However he didn't get to touch the ball and instead crashed against Tomoyasu.
Tomoyasu being the goalkeeper had a longer reach than Tsubasa and thus, he managed to land a hit on the ball with his hand. And although he punched the ball away, he couldn't avoid the collision with Tsubasa.
Bam!!
Tomoyasu fell down hard on the ground. Clenching his heart, Tomoyasu began to moan in pain, "Argh!! Argh!!"
While jumping Tsubasa's shoulder directly hit the Tomoyasu's unprotected ribcage.
[That collision sounded very bad. And it doesn't seem like neither Tomoyasu nor Tsubasa look okay. Seems like an injury is unavoidable.] Making a concerned face, commentator made his comment.
Players of both the team immediately rushed towards the site of the collision. As if there was somekind of time bomb placed inside them. Players of both the team exploded just as they reached the site of the collision.
Pushing and cussing each other, players of both the team got into a fight.
"You sucker's!! Just quit the damn game if you can't score. Why do you resort to violence?" Tatsuki yelled furiously while pushing one of the players of FC Tokyo.
"Yeah if you're that afraid of losing then improve your game instead of injuring your opponents." Nakahara exploded as well.
Furrowing his brow, Kisei pushed Tatsuki and let out a furious roar, "Who are you calling sucker? You guys are the one's who are scared to concede the goal."
Nodding his head, Ryunosuke joined as well, "Yeah, just when you were about to concede the goal, you injure your opponents."
Beep!! Beep!!
Blowing his whistle the referee intervened and tried to separate the players.
And although the referee was trying his best to stop the fight, he was still having difficulty separating players of both the team.
As if the players of both the teams were going to start using their fist and kicks, the situation was getting more heated, despite the intervention from the main referee.
Witnessing the scene of players getting out of hands, assistant referees who were standing at the sidelines were also forced to rush towards the site of commotion.
After trying their absolute best, referees present in the pitch finally separated the players of both the team.
And just as they separated the players, main referee took out his card and began to write something on his card.
After finishing writing, he showed yellow card to 7 players in the pitch. 4 yellow cards to the players of FC Tokyo and 3 yellow cards to players of Kawasaki.
And despite the commotion, the referee still didn't take out his red card.
Tatsuki, Nakahara, Ehara, Kisei, Ryunosuke, Ryui and Tsubasa being the main culprits, all got one yellow card each. Tomoyasu however didn't get any cards as he was deemed innocent.
And just as referee finished giving out cards to the players involved, he awarded freekick to Kawasaki for Tsubasa's foul against Tomoyasu.
Players of FC Tokyo sulked their faces and tried to retaliate saying that the decision was unfair. But just as they tried to raise their voice to express their dissatisfaction, referee tilted his head slightly and looked at them coldly while putting his hand inside his pocket, as if he was ready to pull out his cards, once again.
Witnessing referee's cold gaze, nobody from FC Tokyo dared to raise their voice. Fearing to get on referee's bad side, all of them reluctantly accepted the referee's decision.
While such scene was happening, Hiro was standing beside Tomoyasu. Shielding Tomoyasu from other players, Hiro was trying his best to support Tomoyasu.
Tomoyasu however continued to moan in pain. As if a sharp knife was slowly piercing his heart, he kept on clenching his heart and screaming in agony. And as time progressed, his condition started to falter.
Writhing in pain, Tomoyasu was sweating heavily. His eyes tightly shut and his breathing irregular, he couldn't even bring himself to open his eyes.
Looking at Tomoyasu's pale face, Hiro knew something was wrong. Thus without wasting any time, Hiro shouted for the medics.
"We need help here. Senior Tomoyasu seems injured." Hiro shouted at the top of his lungs while waving his hand above his head.
