Beep!!
The first half came to an abrupt end as the referee sounded his whistle.
No sooner had the referee blown his whistle to announce the end of the first half, manager of Aomori strode towards the tunnel with a rather grumpy look on his face. The mere fact that he didn't even wait for the players to exit the pitch was enough to tell how furious and worked up he was at the moment.
At once, all of the player present on the field halted their movements. Some heaved a sigh of relief while some kicked the grass out of frustration. "Good game guys"
"Let's keep up this performance in the second half as well and win this game"
Just like on the pitch where both laughter and distress was quite evident.
In similar fashion, people in the stands were also divided into two separate group— one was the group which supported Kawasaki who were filled with elation and the other was the group which supported Aomori who were filled with disappointment and frustration. And the reason behind this division was displayed in huge number right now at the massive screen of the stadium— Kawasaki-2 and Aomori-0. Those simple looking number was the reason behind the partition of the mood in the stadium.
Slowly players of Kawasaki while cheerfully chatting with each other walked out of the field while players of Aomori followed suit but with a bitter face.
"Hiro please look here"
"Renji please give me your autograph"
As players of Kawasaki made their way towards the tunnel, several fans called out the names of the players that were rather famous. "How did you like my goal?"
Slightly slicking back his black hair, Renji asked those fans who were calling out his name. A smirk adorned his face while his eyes were glowing with pride. "It was the best"
Almost at the same time, some group of fans which consisted mostly of girls responded in their girly voice. The way they were fawning over Renji made it seem like they were charmed by him. Well given the way he looked, it wasn't that big of a surprise since young girls liked anybody with pretty appearance.
Noticing those group of fangirls fawning over Renji, Hiro felt like throwing up while Shun and many other boys contorted their face in envy. The way they gritted their teeth and glared at Renji made it seem like they were about to chew him alive. Hiro wanted to scoff but he was in no better position himself as well since there were quite a lot of fangirls who were shouting his name in the stands. But one particular boy in the stand caught his attention.
It was the same little boy whom he had met in airport. The only difference was that now he was with his friends. Turning his gaze towards them, Hiro slightly curled the corner of his lips and displayed a warm smile on his face. Waving his hand towards them, he addressed those group of little boys who were calling out his name with joy written all over their face. The way they looked at him made it quite obvious that those groups of boys respected and loved him a lot. Receiving their adoration, Hiro felt a sensation of warmth rising for the depth of his body. Moments like this made it worth being a football player. "See, I told you that big brother Hiro will notice us"
As Hiro and the rest walked out of the pitch, Kota spoke cheerfully with pride and joy brimming on his eyes. "Yeah, but I'm quite perplexed about his earlier behavior"
"You're talking about that first goal right?"
"Yeah, why did he give it away? Does he not feel like scoring goals today?"
Those groups of boys chatted among themselves about the match. "Fu!! Fu!!"
With his brows knotted and his eyes brimming with pride and confidence, Kota displayed a prudent expression on his face. Immediately his visuals caught the attention of all his friends who were discussing about Hiro's earlier action. Turning their face towards him, they curiously looked at him while expecting for an answer they were not aware of. "Do you know something about it Kota?"
Asked one of the boy with curiosity brimming in his eyes. "Of course I know about it"
Maintaining his demeanor, Kota answered in confident tone. "Then tell us"
Immediately, all his friends began to insist.
Enjoying their enthusiasm Kota then began to give his own explanation, "You might not be aware but that goal scorer and big brother Hiro used to be teammates in the u15 team previously. But because of big brother Hiro's talent, he immediately got promoted to the u18 team"
"Ahh I see, so he did it to help his friend, right?"
**** **** "How many times did we practice for this match?"
A loud voice filled with fury echoed in the locker room of Aomori High School.
"Yet you still keep on repeating those same mistakes I warned you about"
That voice filled with fury belonged to the coach of Aomori High School who previously had abruptly walked out of the pitch right after the halftime whistle. Currently while all his players were seated silently at their seat, he was standing in the middle of the room, spewing fire out of his mouth while shooting daggers with his gaze towards his player. The state of the players right now was akin to dog that was being scolded by its owner. They could only listen to his words filled with fury while tucking their tails.
Experiencing his players silence, manager of Aomori furrowed his brows before heaving a deep sigh to calm himself down. Sure he was agitated and disappointed at his players. But the time he had on his hand was rather limited. And if he continued to vent his anger, he would only shorten that time even more. Thus, instead of continuing to vent his anger, he then started to explain his strategy and countermeasure to turn the tides of the match. Afterall no matter how much frustrated he was with his players, he still was their coach. And he had to do his duty before lecturing them. "In second half whenever Hiro drops deep don't chase him. Instead watch out for other players and block his route to advance forward. Do you get it?"
