Chapter 253 Solo Run
253 Solo Run
Upon witnessing the figure of Hiro approaching their defensive third, Ahmed signalled two of his teammates who were guarding their defense line together with him to rush forward to stop Hiro.
As he gave command to his teammates, he shook his head few times to look for possible gap in their defence.
To his left in the left flank, Honda was trying to break through. But Honda was still quite far away. And as for Nijichi and other players of Japan, they were even more further away from Hiro.
Thus after careful analysis, Ahmed came to a conclusion that Hiro was going to attempt to break through all alone without relying on any of his teammates.
Ahmed then signalled other two fullbacks to follow-up as well.
And as predicted by Ahmed, Hiro indeed continued his solo run.
But what if he predicted well? There'd be no meaning behind his prediction if he can't stop Hiro.
Just like a massive tsunami or a violent tornado, Hiro completely obliterated every obstacle which presented itself infront of him.
Simply nobody could stop Hiro right now. Infront of Ahmed's very own eyes, he witnessed his teammates getting toyed.
Not only Hiro dribbled past those four opposing defenders in an instant, he made a fool out of those defenders.
Let alone touch the ball or delay Hiro, they couldn't even foul him.
With simple step-overs which looked rather simple yet hard to execute, Hiro first got past through two defenders who charged towards him and for the remaining two defenders who followed after, he executed a beautiful rainbow flick to get past through both of them at once.
As if he was creating a beautiful symphony with the ball, as if he was dancing along with the ball, Hiro easily dribbled past through every opponent who walked infront of him with the intention of stopping him.
A lot of jaws dropped, a lot of hearts throbbed, a lot of eyes opened wide, right now almost every people in the stadium was charmed by Hiro's performance.
The type of football which had been lost for quite a while. The type of flashy entertaining football where one player dribbled past through numerous players.
Many old football enthusiast present in the stadium felt quite nostalgic. Some even shed drops of tears out of nostalgia.
"How many players did he already dribbled past?" Asked one of the spectator.
Another who was sitting right beside him, without taking his eyes off Hiro answered, "That makes it six"
Even after dribbling past through that many players, his acceleration hadn't decreased in the slightest.
Right now even when he was charging towards Ahmed, Hiro's speed was still the same. As if in this instant, he didn't even consider Ahmed a threat, he fiercely charged towards Ahmed who was the only defender remaining in the defensive third and also the last line of defense of the opposing team.
At this moment, a lot expectation was placed upon Ahmed. A lot of hopeful eyes from the substitution box of Jordan national u17 team, pitifully looked at Ahmed.
As if they were begging Ahmed to stop Hiro at any cost, almost the entire players in the substitution box got on their knees, staring at Ahmed with hopeful eyes.
Just as Hiro got close to Ahmed, Hiro's eyes flashed with a cold light as his pupils rolled towards his left side.
Following Hiro's eye movement, Ahmed swayed his body towards his right side, 'Even if I had to crash against you. I'll put an end to your attack'
Right now Ahmed was prepared to stop Hiro at all cost. Even if he had to foul him, he wouldn't step back.
However just as he swayed his body towards his right side, Hiro nimbly spun his body.
During the process of spinning his body, at first he lightly tapped the ball with his right heel. At the same time, he made use of his left foot to kick the ball towards his right side.
By executing a flawless roulette like skill, Hiro nimbly got past through Ahmed, once again making a fool out of himself.
Without losing his balance Ahmed immediately tried to follow-up as he desperately stretched his hands to grab Hiro's t-shirt.
'Please... Reach him' Ahmed gritted his teeth, desperately trying to bring Hiro down.
A feeling of despair started gnawing upon him and his eyes reflected a feeling of hopelessness.
Finally after few seconds of desperate struggle as his hands grabbed Hiro's t-shirt, his dull eyes glowed all of a sudden.
His tensed face lossened and a subtle smile appeared on his face. He then exerted all his strength to bring Hiro down.
However he was still a split second late. Before he could even pull down Hiro, Hiro released the ball from his feet; inturn shooting a powerful shot right from the edge of the penalty box.
Although Ahmed managed to bring down Hiro, he still couldn't prevent Hiro from shooting the ball.
The ball as it flew towards the post tore through the air before ending up at the back of the net.
Their keeper tried his best to stop the shot, however he still couldn't match Hiro's power. Just like Ahmed, he too fell short.
"Gooooaaaaallllllll!!!"
Spectators who were already on their toes, let out an euphoric roar as they celebrated Hiro's second goal of the match.
"Absolutely beautiful!! What a goal!! What a goal!! Within only 17 seconds since the start of the second half, Takahashi Hiro has further increased the lead of Japan" cried out the commentator.
While most faces in the stand was brimming with joy, some faces in the stand looked quite pale right now.
As if they had witnessed something totally unbelievable, their listless eyes right now was filled with horror while their complexion had gotten ghastly pale.
"Is he for... real?" One of the spectator uttered in shock.
"Takahashi Hiro, just what is he?"
Upon hearing the euphoric cheers of the spectator, Hiro who was lying on the ground immediately stood from the ground without any difficulties.
