"What the hell's going on?" Piercing-kun asked looking at the score board.
"The score is tied!! And it's only 15 minutes remaining in the match."
"Nice goal Yusuke." I said high-fiving him.
Yusuke scored the third goal immediately after mine.
"Thanks for the pass." He said smiling at me.
"Let's restart, even if they're tied with us we can still win this." He said walking back.
*When would he learn to give up?* I thought walking back to my position.
"Sorry but we won't let you guys win." Akatsukj said smiling as they began passing the ball round.
"Yeah, keep going, they're getting more confused." Piercing-kun said laughing as they kept passing to each other.
*It's getting more and more annoying. 13 more minutes.* I thought looking at Akatsuki who smiled.
We them ran forward to their half. Akatsuki went straight for the person with the ball and the person with the ball played a high ball to the other person.
*Just as I thought.* I thought smiling and running infront of the person the ball was going to.
"Hey!!" He called as I kicked the ball in-between his leg and then ran after it.
"He's gone past his man and he's going straight for the goal!!!"
"Akatsu." I called passing the ball to him.
"Let's do this." He said smiling before dribbling past a defender who ran towards him.
He them passed the ball to me and me to him. We continued this way till we reached the post.
"Whoa, the path to the goal is blocked." Akatsuki said.
"No, it isn't." I said dribbling past another person, a girl and passing back to Akatsuki.
Then I curved my hand and ran to the blind spot of the defenders.
"He's shooting from there!! He won't score." The commentator said as Akatsuki played a high ball.
The ball curved a little and I headed it into the net.
"Goal!! I didn't even see him there." The commentator said as I ran towards the stand and slid.
"Yeah!!!" Kimishita shouted as they ran towards me.
"Yeah!!!!"
"Tchh, Dammit!! Didn't you guys see him there?" Piercing-kun asked kicking the ball hard.
*Haha.*
"Guys, let's keep it going." I said as they nodded running back to their positions.
The game restarted and the piercing guy passed the ball back to their Dmf. The Dmf then passed to an Attacking Midfielder who then played a high ball to the piercing guy but the ball was intercepted by Yusuke.
As Yusuke was still trying to play, he kicked the ball out of the field.
"And the ball is out for a throwing."
Suzune grabbed the ball and threw it to Akane who the passed to Kimishita.
Kimishita passed the ball to Ryuto and Ryuto back to Yusuke.
Yusuke then played a long through pass to Tanaka who controlled the ball with his heel while running forward.
He then passed the ball all the way to me.
I passed the ball back to Ryuto when I saw someone running towards me.
"Ryuto, back." I said as he nodded before passing back to Koenji who played a long ball over to Yusuke.
"Okay, let's roll." He said.
I looked at the time and it was 5 minutes remaining on the clock.
*I feel like they'll get more desperate.* I thought running forward.
Akatsuki played a lofted pass over to me and as I jumped to get it, someone hit me hard on the nose with his elbow.
"Ouch, Dammit." I said falling on the floor and holding my nose.
I looked at my hand and saw blood.
*Tchh.* I thought looking up at the person that hit me.
The whistle was blown and the person got a yellow card. We were then given a free kick.
"Atsu, go rest a bit, we'll finishing the game." Akatsuki said bending down to help me up.
"If I don't score from the free kick then I'll fall back. Don't worry about me." I said standing up and grabbing the ball.
"Are you sure?" He asked as I smiled and nodded.
"Everyone in position." Akatsuki said as they nodded.
I grabbed the ball and kept it on the spot I was asked to.
I looked at the post and back at the players that lined themselves up.
"Tchh." I clicked my tongue as I cleaned the blood on my nose.
I looked at the top right of the post and the smiled.
I moved back a bit and shot the ball they began jumping to intercept the ball.
"What?!" The captain asked as the ball went eight under their legs and into the post.
"GOAL!! That was a beautiful free kick. The keeper went for the ball but couldn't get it."
"Atsu!! You scored." Akatsuki shouted as I nodded.
They then ran towards me.
"You sure you don't wanna fall back?"
"No, it's 3 minutes remaining." I said smiling.
The game restarted with them biting there lips and all. They were really upset about the goal.
«5-3»
The game continued and it felt like they were unto me. They kept hitting me and pushing me, they even kicked me while trying to slide for the ball.
"Dammit, they're doing this on purpose." Ryuto said.
"Atsushi, are you alright?" Suzune asked running towards me.
I stood up from the floor and dusted the back of my shorts.
"Don't worry about me, the game is almost over." I said walking back to my position.
*Dammit, my head hurts.* I thought as the game continued.
Half a minute later, the whistle was blown and the game came to an end.
"Yay!! We won." Ryuto said as the other team sat on the floor frustrated.
*Thank goodness, I didn't pass out… during the game.* I thought as I fell down.
"Atsushi!! Atsushi!! Ats…."
