"Guys, we have a match today." I said walking into the sitting room.
"Huh?"
"This evening, by 5." Misaki said sitting on a sofa.
"Why's it coming this late?" Hinami asked.
"Well, I dunno." I said looking at my phone. "The coach has made known our tactics and formation." I said looking up at them.
"Which team are we playing against?" Tanaka asked.
"Team I." I replied.
"Team I, you mean those guys?" Ryuto asked.
"Yeah, those guys."
"Which guys?" Akane asked.
"Yeah, you guys weren't with us that day, on the day we met in the bathhouse."
"They were just a group of annoying boys and girls." Kimishita said.
"Well, we just have to beat some sense into them." Akatsuki said smiling.
"Yeah."
"It's match day, the match between Team I and Team C I wonder which team will come out victorious in todays match, am today's commentator Ikko Matsumoto."
"A new guy, well it doesn't matter, you guys know what to do." I said as we walked into the field.
"The players have all walked into the field. Team I with the 4-2-1-3 formation and Team C with the 4-3-1-2 formation."
"Hey look, it's Team C, you guys plan on running throughout the game?" One of them asked as the rest laughed.
"Once again it isn't funny." I said as Tanaka passed the ball to Akatsuki.
"We know your damn strategy, you guys would be beaten by our team." A guy with a red spiky hair said sliding for the ball.
"Where'd he come from?" Akatsuki asked running towards him.
"Guys, stay firm." I said as Yusuke slid for the ball immediately the guy passed to the wing.
"They're going forward, Yuki, intercept!" The captain shouted.
"Okay." The girl said running towards Yusuke who passed to Kimishita.
"Here." He said passing to Akaji who ran and passed it back to Yusuke who was at the right wing.
"They're coming up!!"
Yusuke then passed to Kimishita who dribbled the guy by his side before passing to Akaji.
"Whoa!! Look at those passes, they're really taking control of the game!!!" The commentator shouted.
*Nice, they listened to what I said.* I thought smiling while running forward.
"Look, they'll pass to the second striker!!" The guy who dragged me back in the bowling alley said as they ran towards Akatsuki who ran with the ball.
"Nice instincts there man." Akatsuki said playing a high ball to me.
"Sorry bud am taking this one." Another guy said heading the ball out of the box.
*Whoops, I didn't see him there.* I thought running back.
"Oh my God, Anji is very fast, he got the loose ball!!"
"Nice one Anji." The captain said to the bowling guy.
"Tchh." I clicked my tongue as he stepped over the ball and dribbled past Akaji.
"Here, Anji, here." One of the guys mouthed as he waved his hand at Anji who played a lofted through pass to the other guy.
*Good.* I thought running after the ball and the guy.
The guy was still far from the ball and the other guys couldn't reach the ball so I ran faster.
"Just like a wind, I didn't even see what happened!!!" The commentator said as I passed the ball to Akane who passed forward to Yusuke.
"Bastard!!" The guy I stole the ball from cursed.
"Sorry man, had to take it." I said before running forward.
"Captain." Kimishita said playing a long through ball.
"You won't be reaching it." The guy who played the ball out said.
"No, am getting it." I said running faster.
"He won't reach it, would he?"
"HE GOT IT!!!" Ikko said(Commentator)
I ran towards the post, too close to the keeper who ran towards me to collect it. Some other defenders ran towards me to intercept if I tried to shoot.
*Am not so stupid to play in.* I thought with a smirk before passing to Akatsuki who ran towards the post and played it in.
"GOAL!! That was a goal from Akatsuki Kisho, Team C."
"Atsu!!" He shouted running towards me as we high-fived.
"You did it man." I said smiling as the others ran towards me.
"Thanks for the assist man." He said smiling.
"You scored, Akatsuki." Suzune said smiling.
"Yeah."
"Yay!"
"Tchh, you guys were easily deceived." Anji said grabbing the ball.
"The games restarting, let's go." I said as they all nodded.
*They don't look much like a threat, we'll go through.* I thought smiling as we ran for the ball.
"I'll get you this time." Anji said running towards me.
Two people marked Akatsuki and two others marked Tanaka.
"Here." I said using the back of my foot to pass to Yusuke.
"Thanks man." He said running with the ball.
I ran further with Akaji and Akatsuki as Yusuke played a lofted pass towards me.
*It's too high.* I thought looking up at the ball.
*Okay.* I thought jumping and using the inside of my right leg to trap the ball.
"Nice one, Yusuke." I said dribbling past a defender and passing the ball to Tanaka who passed back to me and...
"GOAL!!! He scored!!" The commentator shouted.
"Yes!"
"Atsu!!!"
"You scored it." Tanaka said high-fiving me.
"Thanks for the assist." I said smiling.
"You scored it bro." Akatsuki shouted running towards me and jumping on me.
"Hey!!" I shouted falling on the ground.
"I'll be getting the next one." Tanaka said.
"I'll happily assist you." I said.
"Yeah, let's go get 'em." Ryuto said smiling as we positioned ourselves.
"Tchh." Anji clicked his tongue before passing the ball to the red-haired guy.
"Got it." I said as I ran towards another guy who he passed the ball to.
"Alright, let's go!!!"
"H-how'd you know where I was passing the ball to?"
"I just knew." I said passing the ball to Akatsuki.
"Hope you're ready for your goal, Tanaka." Akatsuki said as Tanaka ran forward.
"Y'know I am." He said running towards the box.
"Don't chicken out now."
