As if the gameplay of Mateo triggered an eureka, suddenly out of nowhere the system provided him a quest to analyze the playstyle of Mateo who's plays he had found extremely intriguing.
Although a bit crude and rough but Mateo's gameplay had a charm in it that could captivate the hearts of people. And Hiro who himself liked watching exceptional players, nonetheless was fascinated by his play.
Even if the system hadn't provided him with this quest, he would have for sure tried to analyze his plays and tried to employ it himself.
And also the system didn't give him any option to reject the quest. It was like a mandatory quest. Not to mention that he couldn't use his skill magic vision on him. If he could only get a bit of insight of his stats and wow-factors, the quest would have been rather easy.
However while skimming through the contents of the quest, Hiro was rather perplexed by one thing; its just that the duration was rather long. In fact, the duration for this quest was one of the longest he had got till now.
But as he tried to look on internet about this unknown player named Mateo, he found nothing about him. It's as if before this match, he hadn't even existed.
"From where did this player come from? There's literally no info about him on the internet"
Hiro murmured in a rather dejected and surprised tone.
Only after he failed to find anything related to this player named Mateo Gomez who had entered the field at 80th minute and completely changed the flow of the game all by himself, he came to a realization.
"No wonder system gave me such a long time for this quest"
Hiro murmured after realizing.
The reason why he had gotten that long of a time was because of the lack of information regarding this player that he had to analyze. Now with such problems in his hand, if he wanted to analyze the playstyle of this player then he had only one option and that was to follow this player through his journey in the qualifiers.
Every single game which he played was of utmost importance to Hiro right now.
Thus, immediately without wasting any time, he brought his pen and paper out.
Downloading the video so that he could play it offline, he started analyzing the performance of almost every player. While analyzing, it's rather crucial to take the position of almost every other player present on the field.
Just because he had to submit a report about Mateo's performance only didn't mean that he could neglect the position of other players on the field. Only by taking everybody's position into account would he be able to get a thorough analysis.
"See I told you that he isn't like others"
"Yeah, you're right"
Two individuals from the coaching staff who seemed rather shady given their carefulness and sneakiness were right now spying on Hiro through the small opening in the door.
And judging by the conversation which they were having, it seemed like one of the individual was quite dubious of Hiro while the other one had faith in him.

Aomori Stadium
'The way he cut in from the flanks and the way he smoothly dribbled past his opponent, it kinda resembled the playstyle of Neymar during his early years'
Contemplating about the performance of Mateo, Hiro right now was lost in a world of his own while he was at the front of a queue leading his teammates in the match between Kawasaki and Aomori Yamada High School.
Right now, the sun was pretty high up in the sky while the temperature around the stadium was rather hot. As if a giant was smoking a humongous cigarette, white puffy clouds could be seen in large quantity floating from the horizon.
Under the azure expanse, right now the stadium was a spectacle to behold. Towering stands draped in vibrant colors lined the pitch, creating a sea of passionate supporters. Flags of both the teams billowed and flapped in the wind— showcasing the unwavering allegiance to their respective team.
The reason why this tiny stadium that could barely hold ten thousand people in it was crowdy today was because of the presence of one player. A player who right now had become the apple to the eye of many Japanese fans.
The player that had displayed outstanding performance in the international stage and spread the name of their country.
"Sakazuki, don't you think that the stadium of Aomori's looking rather cramped and lively today?"
"Well Kojiro, our national hero is making his arrival today. So, I'm sure all this people are here to welcome him and watch him play"
While the cheers grew louder, filling the air with an overwhelming sense of fervor and anticipation, this two commentators who were responsible to comment on this game, made lively talk while trying to lighten up the mood in the stadium.
"Now let us welcome the players with a big round of applause"
The commentators urged the people to welcome the players with big round of applause.
No sooner had the commentators announced the entry of the players, players of the opposing team immediately started moving forward while Hiro stood his ground, still contemplating about the playstyle of Mateo.
"Oi, how long are you planning on staying here?"
Giving him a light push, Yuya who was right behind Hiro complained in a rather annoyed tone.
Immediately that push caused Hiro to break out of his reverie. Yet he didn't mind Yuya's tone or his action of pushing him.
Coming to his sense, Hiro then started marching forward like a valiant general leading his troops.
Exiting the dim tunnel, Hiro glanced upwards.
Immediately upon seeing the appearance of Hiro, the fans who were desperately awaiting for his arrival burst into exuberant chants and cheers. Those cheers in-turn bounced off the walls of the stadium and added spice to this frenzied atmosphere.
"Oh!! How much I miss this crowd"
Sounding extremely grateful, Shun expressed his thankfulness with his eyes glistening with nostalgia and joy.
