Chapter 246 Beast unleashed
Although a lot of players in Hiro's team felt weird about Hiro's attitude, still nobody dared to ask him about his attitude.
Most of them simply assumed that Hiro was in a bad mood today. As if he was greatly troubled by something, he seemed quite irritated too afterall.
Shun who was the closest to Hiro tried few times to ask him but Hiro provided him absolutely no chance as he got shunned by Hiro everytime when he tried to speak with Hiro.
For the entire time when Hiro elaborated the tactics, he didn't provide any opportunity to any of his teammates to retaliate.
Just like that after instructing everybody about their roles, Hiro dismissed the short tactical meeting.
"Perhaps, Is something wrong with him today?" Concernedly looking at Hiro, manager Haruki muttered under his breath.
Just like manager Haruki, a lot of other players who were seated at the reserve seats were also showing signs of concerns towards Hiro at this moment.
Kazan however as usual showed no expression and remained mostly expressionless. As if he was lost in some kind of deep thoughts, unlike others he didn't seem bothered at all.
And as everybody positioned themselves in their respective position, referee took a quick glance at his watch before blowing the whistle which he had trapped between his lips.
Beeeeeeeep!!!
Beneath the azure blue sky, as the sound of the whistle rung, spectators seated at the stand roared ecstatically as the match betwen Japan and Jordan finally commenced.
The match being broadcasted internationally was being observed by few thousand fans overseas as well.
Combined with the fans present in the stand, one could say that it was a fairly popular match.
As the sound of the whistle rung, Nijichi sent the ball flying backwards, towards Yutaka.
With two playmakers in their team, Japan national u17 team were playing in 4-1-2-3 formation.
On the other hand their opponents were playing in traditional 4-4-2 formation which put emphasis on both offense and defense.
Their captain Ahmed Al-Sheikh who was fairly big in size was playing as a centre-back.
The seed of misunderstanding which Hiro had planted in the hearts of opposing players gave an impression of sprouting at a rapid pace as players of the opposing team intentionally picked on Hiro, right from the get go.
Trying to pressure him, using their physique, it was a common sight in the field right from the start of the match.
Just like that more 10 minutes passed.
Other players watching from the stand mused while seeing the suffering of Hiro. At the same time, players of Jordan continued their assaults on Hiro in the field.
However since they had to defend against other players too, they didn't focus solely on Hiro. But since Hiro got the ball most of the times, it was a lot easier for them.
Right now while Hiro was trying to move the ball forward, he was getting squeezed by two of the opposing players.
Blocking his path completely, they were standing infront of him like two giant mountains.
Smiling sinisterly while looking at him, those two players were moving their lips. As if they were blatantly challenging him or berating him, those two looked quite fearless while standing infront of him.
One of them was even signalling him to come forward with his hands. Not even an ounce of worry could be seen in their faces.
It wasn't the first time since the beginning of the match that he faced situation.
Although Hiro couldn't tell what they were telling since he didn't know their language, he could still clearly see their gazes filled with mockery and their smiles full of arrogance.
Sure enough, they were trying to maintain a domineering presence to terrorise Hiro.
Already suffering their assaults multiple times by now, Hiro had somewhat grasped their playstyle and their intention.
One thing which he noticed about them was that although they tried to provoke him, they didn't act rashly either. They always maintained their distance from him while provoking him.
Sure enough they were being careful.
Hiro then tried to break through the defense of those players standing infront of him.
He acted a bit annoyed before trying to break through clutches which further increased the confidence of the opposing players.
And as such one of them dashed forward just as Hiro started making his movement while the other one remained behind the back of the player who charged forward to cover him.
However soon their confidence turned out to be poison instead of elixir as Hiro swiftly got past through team.
Moving like a snake, he easily got past through them without even breaking any sweat.
At that instant, a lot of mouth in the crowd opened wide while a lot of smile faded away as well.
Specially those two opposing players, right now they were frozen at their place while Hiro had already dribbled past them.
Their eyes reflecting astonishment while their faces a little pale. Their once wide crescent like smile had faded away.
'What... Just happened?' with a big question mark above their heads, both those opposing players were pondering while revealing a stupefied look on their faces.
Other players reaction was no better than their's.
Specially captain of the Jordan national u17 team. As if his whole world was shattering right infront of his eyes, he looked shocked the most out of any other players.
But before he could even come back to his senses, Hiro who was like 15 steps away from him had already closed the distance between him and Hiro.
Right now as he forcefully tried to stabilise his mind, he was facing Hiro who was just 5 steps away from him.
'Tch- I was careless...' Ahmed clicked his tongue as he regained his composure.
His movement erratic and his breathing hurried, he charged forward as he left his position to defend the incoming attack.
That shock which he received was so great that for a while he was in a state of trance. And because of that, right now he was panicking while seeing Hiro infront of him.
As if he wasn't a human but some kind of cold-blooded creature out on a hunt, Hiro's eyes looked so intimidating at this moment.
Since the beginning of the match, Hiro's face had looked quite tensed. As if he was on his wits end, he was struggling to break through.
But right now, his expression seemed as cold as ice. And the aura around him had suddenly become intimidating.
In a state of panic, as Ahmed tried to force his way, he charged towards Hiro like a wild enraged boar.
