"Hope you guys are ready to go out there?" The coach asked, his hands at his back.
"Yes sir."
"You guys don't look too good." He said trying to examine us.
"Did you guys have dinner?" He asked with a frown.
"Well some of us did, some decided to go hungry." Akatsuki said.
"Why didn't the rest have dinner?"
"Well,we wanted to buy some but the stores were all closed." Watabe said looking away.
"Ha... you guys, as I said before, we won't be subbing anyone in." He said with a sigh.
"We are sorry, coach."
"Okay, I believe you guys know what to do, don't let unimportant things distract you from your goal. Just have fun out there." He said as we walked out of the dressing room.
*Really, this isn't even a serious game, the audience is a lot smaller than I thought.* i thought looking around as we walked in.
"The players have all matched into the pitch, Team T has gone with the 3-2-3-2 formation and Team C has gone with the 4-2-3-1 formation." The commentator said as the whistle was blown.
"The whistle has been blown and I wonder how the game would go."
Team T were the ones that began the game so we began attacking.
"Whoa look at that, Kaneko from TT is dashing with the ball at high-speed, can anyone get to him?"
*Not so fast.* I thought about to run towards him as I saw Ueta slide for the ball.
"Oh my gosh, the ball was stolen from him by a female player from the TC, it's a loose ball!"
"Got it." Watabe said running with the ball.
*Nice.* I thought moving forward.
"Ryuto pass!" Kimishita said waving his hands at him.
"Okay." Watabe said passing the ball to Kimishita who trapped it and ran forward with it.
"They are getting to the post!" A forward from TT shouted as they all fell back.
"Kimishita, pass here." I said running infront.
"Tch." He said as he kept running with it.
*This was what I was scared of.* I thought still running. I looked at Akaji and he was already marked.
*There's no way Akaji would get the ball, he would wither pass back or keep running with it* I thought as someone ran to his front and tried taking the ball.
"Watabe!" He called passing the ball.
"Oh?! He passed back!" The commentator shouted. "But he didn't etc the ball get past him, Kaneko gets it again, he's speeding down!"
*Oh no!*
"Everyone, fall back!" Akaji shouted as we ran back to try and get the ball.
"Here, Hiro-kun." Kaneko said passing the ball to another guy who ran past him.
"Nice pass." He said pausing for a bit before trying to shoot.
*He can't score from there.*
"Wait, Koenji! Not there!" I shouted ad Hiro played a high ball back to Kaneko who shot it into the net.
"And goal!!!" The commentator shouted.
"Yay." Kaneko said as they high-fived each other.
"Kaneko!!!" The others from Team T shouted running towards them.
*Fuck!*
"That was a very impressive goal from TT, now how would TC respond?"
Tanaka walked to the middle with the ball and stood, ready to start passing.
"Here." He said to Akatsuki who smiled widely.
"You are a smart kid." He said running with the ball.
"TC has gone with a full attack."
As Akatsuki ran, he passed the ball to me and I passed to him and he to me and we kept going like that till we reached the box.
"Whoa, they're really fast." Someone said running towards me when I was with the ball.
*What the hell? I wanted to go further before they come closer.* I thought lunging towards the player.
"Cut that out Atsushi! He'll get the ball." Akaji shouted as I smirked.
*No, he won't.* I thought positioning my outside foot on the inside of the ball and making contact with the front part of my foot before quickly wrapping it with my foot and making the ball spin before moving my foot to the outside of the ball and going past him.
*And past him.* I thought smiling.
"Whoa, that was a crazy Elastico, it was super fast I thought he'd loose the ball." The commentator said.
"You still have it in you bro." Akatsuki said smiling as I passed the ball to him.
"What is he? A devil?" Someone asked as Akatsuki passed it back to me.
*The goal, I can score from here.* I thought about to score as Watabe came infront of me, stealing the ball from me.
"The hell!!" Akatsuki asked as Watabe smirked trying to score as someone else stole the ball and made a long pass to Kaneko.
"What the hell?! His teammate stole his own ball?!"
"Why did you leave your position, only the girls are there?" Tanaka asked as Kaneko passed the ball to Hiro.
"We're getting the second one." Hiro said with a smirk before running to the wing and playing a curved corner to Kaneko who headed it into the post.
"GOAL!!!! It's 2-0, it's Kanekos' second!"
"What the hell Watabe?!" Akatsuki asked angrily as he grabbed his collar.
"I see what's going on here, you guys are still far from being a team, seems like the game has been decided." Hiro said making an annoying face while sticking his tongue out.
"These guys look pitiful, imagine playing against your own teammate." Kaneko said laughing.
"Tch💢."
"Let's go again, please you guys should try passing to others too." Akaji said before passing the ball to Kimishita.
*I would have scored that goal, why did he come to take the ball from me?* I thought running forward.
"Akaji!" Kimishita called passing to him.
"Hey, Mark that one."
"Yes."
"Here, Akatsuki." Akaji said passing the ball to the wing. "Make sure you pass back, don't hold it for long."
"Here I go!" Akatsuki shouted playing a high ball. "Hit it! Make sure you do! Atsushi!!" He shouted as I ran to the front and jumped high before heading the ball low and into the net.
