"Alfred, Wick, Emily, and Kan, arise!" Coach Nami commanded, her hands folded as she surveyed the game's unfolding dynamics.
She knew the match wasn't tilting in her favor and that she needed to take a gamble to turn the tide, lest she faced certain defeat.
But before she could make any changes, the referee's whistle pierced the air, signaling the end of the first half.
Kan and the others weren't even given the chance to approach the sidelines for substitution.
With a heavy sigh, Coach Nami made her way to the dressing room, knowing she had to act quickly to regroup her team.
She couldn't blame the players for the loss; it was evident their opponents were stronger, faster, and more adept at handling the ball. Standing beside the drawing board, she awaited her players' arrival.
