While Hiro prepared to take the free kick, Guardiola squinched his brows. At this point, even this man who had been maintaining an indifferent attitude throughout the game was on his toes.
With his gaze fixated on the scene before him, Guardiola stood on the sideline.
Beep!
The referee's sharp whistle cut through the eerie silence in the stadium.
Immediately, Endo sprang forward, his gaze fixed on the ball. Upon reaching the ball, Endo fiercely swept his leg.
However, he didn't touch the ball.
The opposition was prepared. Hence, they didn't react when Endo swept his leg. They remained composed as they prepared for the real threat.
Their gaze bounced between Hiro and Yamada. Cautious as they were, they were trying to figure out the real shooter.
While toggling their gaze, they couldn't help but feel uncomfortable upon looking at Yamada. Compared to Hiro, Yamada seemed more like a threat.
