"What was happening back there? I don't get why you guys did what you did." Akatsuki said angrily.
"What do you mean? The first half is over and they're ahead of us by one goal." Watabe said.
"I wasn't seeing what was going on from the back but I know you guys weren't able to score, what happened?" Yamazake asked.
"Well, some people were incompetent, that's what happened." Watabe said with a smirk.
I stood at the edge gulping down a bottle of water.
"Atsu, why don't you speak up?" Akatsuki asked walking towards me.
"Hmm, what happened?" I asked without looking up at him.
"Atsushi-kun kept leaving his position, his job was to keep assisting Akaji but instead he was too greedy and wanted to score alone." Watabe said.
"Now now, just leave it be, let's not fight." Akaji said smiling.
*If its possible I want to destroy this bastard, cunning snake.* I thought clenching my fists.
"Like you're one to talk Ryuto, you left your position to counter Atsushi and he missed his goal." Akatsuki said.
"Hey,let's not fight now, it's going to be a big problem." Tamura said.
"You guys..." the coach started as he walked into the dressing room.
They all looked down as he walked in.
"The first half... I don't know what to say to you guys, get out there, do whatever it takes to score another one. You guys can lose, it's your fault but make sure you score one more goal." He said walking out of the room.
*The first half, am taking your advice coach, I saw you looking at me, am sorry but, I'll be playing my way in the second half.* I thought standing up and walking out.
"Atsu." Akatsuki called as I walked out.
"And the players are out, the second half is about to begin."
We all stood in position as the game started.
*Sorry guys.* I thought as Akaji passed the ball to Kimishita.
"The game has begun with the Cwnter forward passing to the wing, how will they get back into the game? If you're just returning from your break, the game has just gone underway."
"Kimishita, pass back to Yusuke." Akaji said as Kimishita passed the ball back to Nakamura who ran at the side of the field.
*The other team will intercept it, then that'll be my chance to score, I won't warn them.* I thought as a smile crept on my face.
I ran to the sidelines as one of the Midfielders from the other team slid for the ball.
*Now.* I thought running for the loose ball.
"He got to it." Kaneko said as I tapped the ball gently with the inside of my foot before running forward.
"Hell yeah!"
"Shiro, Izumi, get him!" Kaneko shouted running forward.
*Not too fast, don't run too fast.* I thought as one of the AMFs' ran towards me.
I lifted the ball with my right foot, making the ball go over his head.
"He's gone through!"
"I'll get him!"
As one of the defenders ran towards me, I stepped over the ball with my left foot, then my right and my left again before tapping it gently with the inside of my right foot making the ball go in-between his leg and then running for it.
"He's gone into the box!!"
As I ran in, I saw Akaji running towards the post.
*I won't make a mistake twice.* o thought smiling before hitting the ball with the heel of my foot.
The ball hit the floor and then bounced into the goal post.
"GOAL!!!!"
"Yet another brilliant goal from this player, he hit the ball with so much force making it bounce into the post, the keeper didn't even see it."
"Oh my gosh, that was super solo goal, he went all in!"
"Hahaha hahaha!" I laughed looking at Akaji who clenched his feet.
"ATSU!!!" Akatsuki ran towards me.
*He thought I wouldn't notice, I saw his leg stretched out to block mu shot and that's why I changed the way I scored.* I thought with a smirk.
"And now they're tied."
"That was a good way to start the second half that was definitely a big game changer."
"Let's not be too sure how it'll end, it may still go either way."
We all got into position as the other team began passing.
"Don't be too cocky, that'll be your last goal." Watabe said running alongside me.
"Why don't you shut your mouth and focus on your position." I said without looking at him.
"Got it." Nakamura said passing the ball to Kimishita.
"Thanks for that."
"Hey, pass here, Kimishita." Akatsuki said running at the wing.
"Tanaka, take it." Kimishita said passing to Akaji.
*Fool, they'll intercept it again.* I thought as Akaji got the ball.
He ran into the field without passing the ball but the ball was stolen by a defender.
"Watabe, what the hell are you doing infront, they'll score!" Akatsuki shouted.
"Shut the fuck up!"
"GOAL!!!!!!!!!"
"That was a super corner and all it needed was a touch."
*What the hell?"
"Bastard, why the hell'd you leave your position?"
"Get lost."
The game restarted, Akaji played the ball backwards to Nakamura who passed to Watabe.
"Tanaka."
"No, don't pass it to him you fool!" Akatsuki shouted as Shiro intercepted the pass.
"Why don't you guys try playing as a team, the way you guys are now, you'll be dead by the next match." He said passing the ball to a Midfielder that ran in the middle.
"Fall back!!" Akaji shouted as we all ran back.
"Kaneko!"
"Thanks." He said running with the ball.
"I won't let you again angel." He said dribbling past Ueta and passing to Hiro who shot the goal to the net.
"Got it." Koenji said as we saw the ball going out of the line.
"Thank goodness."
"And that one was blocked by the keeper. It's a corner!"
We positioned ourselves to clear the ball when it gets into the field while Akaji stayed a little behind the middle of the field.
As Hiro was about to play the corner, I felt someone holding unto my clothes. I looked at my side and saw Watabe smirking at me.
Hiro played the corner as I tried jumping but Watabe drew me back making me fall before jumping on my leg
"Ouch."
"GOAL!!"
"That was a nice header from Shiro Kobayashi."
*Fuck, it hurts.* I thought holding my leg tightly.
"Atsushi!!" Akatsuki called running towards me.
"Atsushi-kun." Ueta called.
"I can still go on, it's not a problem." I said looking at the clock.
"10 more minutes, we can still do it." I said trying to stand.
*Ouch.* I thought limping towards my position.
"Atsushi, why don't you stay back for some time?" Watabe asked smiling and walking towards me.
"Go to hell." I said as the game started again.
Akaji passed to Akatsuki and Akatsuki ran forward before the other team came to block his path.
"Atsu." He called passing to me as I ran forward.
"Sorry man." Shiro said pushing me out of the field with his body.
"Was that a foul? Oh no, the referee says keep going."
I laid on the floor for few seconds before standing again.
*5 minutes.* I thought trying tonrun with everything in me.
I got the loose ball when Ueta tackled Shiro and started running again. I then passed the ball to Akatsuki who ran at the wing then passed the ball back to me.
I ran towards the field as the defenders ran to the box to stop me from going in.
*Annoying pieces of shit.* I thought passing back to Akatsuki who played a long ball to Akaji.
Akaji headed it but the keeper hit it out of the field.
"Now, it's a corner for Team C."
Akatsuki went to the right corner to play the ball.
I stood near the line dividing the field into two parts waiting any loose ball, and to avoid any more injuries.
The girls were in the back while Hiro stood infront of them.
"It's coming." Kaneko shouted as Akatsuki hit the ball.
*It'll be easier If they head it.* I thought as Shiro headed the ball out of the box.
"It's a loose ball, who'll get to it first?!"
"Hiro!!" Kaneko shouted playing a long ball.
*Whoop.* I thought as the ball hit my chest.
"And he intercepted it!!!"
As I ran towards the field I looked at the time.
*Fuck, few second left.* I thought before looking back at the box.
*There are many people there, I have no choice.* I thought juggling the ball as I went further.
"What's he doing?!"
"Pass the ball, Oshiba-san." Watabe said.
"Fuck you." I said showing him my middle finger.
"Huh?!"
*Now.* I thought kicking the ball with all my might before the whistle was blown.
"Th-that was a super goal from Oshiba Atsushi from Team C, he was far from the box but still scored a super goal!!!"
"Well, unluckily for them, the other team are still ahead of them, it's 4-1." The commentator said as the others sat on the floor.
"Well that concludes the game, it was a very tight game but we ended with a winner."
"Dammit. We lost." Kimishita said grabbing the grass.
"Whoa, that was super awesome Oshiba-san." Hiro said walking towards me.
"Too bad they still lost." Kaneko said stretching his hands for a hand shake.
"Good game." I said taking his hand.
"Yeah, hope to see you guys again in any other game." Hiro said shaking hands with me.
"Yeah." I said smiling.
*What the fuck!!" I thought clenching my fists as the walked out of the field.
"Atsu, are you alright?" Akatsuki asked as I smiled and nodded.
"We scored, atleast."
*Dammit!!! Dammit!!" I thought.
"I see, let it not bother you too much, okay." He said patting my back before walking out.
*DAMMIT!!!!!!!*
