After hearing Kenta's question, Hiro started to rack his mind to think of an excuse which could not only mask his intentions but also convince his teammates.
Rolling his eyes to his left and right, he could clearly see the anxiousness and trepidation in the faces of his teammates.
Finally he thought of an excuse, "If even our opponents are trying their best to prevent the goal then shouldn't we also try hard to score? If we just respond halfheartedly then won't it look like we are mocking their efforts?"
His tone polite and his face solemn, while speaking such Hiro looked in the eyes of every teammates who were standing infront of him.
Immediately most of them retreated thier gazes as they locked eyes with Hiro.
Faced with Hiro's questions, how could they not be moved. Afterall their opponents were indeed trying hard to defend.
