CHAPTER 45
We stood in position waiting for the referees' instructions.
The whistle was later blown and the guys from Team H began passing the ball around.
*Seriously, what's going on with them?* I thought looking at the way they guided the ball.
It was pretty obvious that they were trying to keep the ball. Well, that's pretty much what any team would love to do, but this time around, it didn't seem like they were trying to score any goals.
"Hey, try and go through the right," I said to Ryuto who nodded and ran forward while I looked at Akatsuki who nodded and ran forward too. When the guy with the ball saw both of them coming, he tried passing back to another person but Akaji was there ready to intercept.
"Nice, wait, pass the ball back,"I said but he kept running with it and I could swear that I saw him smirk.
"Ha…" I sighed while watching him go.
I told him that because I saw a defender running towards him.
The referee blew the whistle for our throwing after the defender succeeded in kicking the ball out of the field.
*Yeah, I tried telling him.* I thought while walking forward.
As I walked forward, three other guys followed me. They were really unto me.
The ball was thrown by Suzune to Akatsuki. Akatsuki then ran forward with the ball while I was marked tightly.
"And he's gone past his man!" the commentator shouted as Akatsuki performed some amazing dribbling skills before scoring a goal.
*Wow, what was that, a rollover?* I thought looking very surprised.
We all ran towards Akatsuki to celebrate his solo goal.
After the celebration, the game then continued.
*What's going on? I can remember their last game, they scored a total of 3 goals but now they act like they can't play.* I thought as Suzune tackled one of them easily.
"Here, Himari." She said passing the ball to Himari.
"Today's game's just a joke. Am already feeling bad for the members of Team ," Akatsuki said drying his sweaty face.
"It doesn't ratter. I couldn't care less about them, let's go win this match." Yusuke said.
*Something's dot right.*
"Hey guys, don't stress yourself out there. We don't know their tactics yet."I said walking out.
"Yeah, whatever., Kimishita said throwing his towel on a bench.
*Hmm.* I thought looking away.
"And the players have entered the field for the second half of the match. Team C ahead by 3 goals to 0. Let's see how the match would go in the second half."
We all got into position ready for the game. I then noticed the Team H players smiling.
"Be serious guys!" I shouted just as Tanaka passed the ball to Yusuke.
"Huh?" Yusuke asked just as they stole the ball from. him
*They're fast.* I thought running for the ball.
*Damn it.* I thought running faster than I used to.
"He's fast, but we are already near their post." One of the guys said running forward before passing the ball to someone else who passed to a girl in front.
"G-G-GOAL!!!" The commentator shouted as they celebrated.
"How—does it feel to not be able to stop something?" A guy from Team H asked with a smirk while walking past me.
"Ha… you must think we are pathetic huh?" I asked facing him.
"Hmm?"
"Yeah am sorry but… you guys won't be scoring any more goals." I said as walking back to my position.
"Humph." He said looking away.
Tanaka passed the ball to Akatsuki who passed the ball to me.
"Mark him ,guys!"
"HHaha I'm finally free., I said running past a defender.
"He got past!"
Two other defenders ran towards me as I lifted the ball above their heads with the inside of my both feet
*I just learnt that from Akatsuki.* I thought as another guy ran from behind me.
He began dragging my cclothes to stop me from moving faster.
*Ha, I've gone through something worse than that man.* I thought smiling.
"Eh?" I asked looking forward at the coach who smiled.
*So this is what that training was for.* I thought while using the heel of my foot to kick the ball in between his legs before bending and running back for it.
"WHOA! What a beautiful skill!!"
"Wow."
"Attack dummy. Don't stand and watch him."
Two other guys ran towards me as I feinted a left run before using my right foot to roll over the ball and played a curved pass to Akatsuki who controlled it incredibly before scoring a goal.
"GOAL!!!"
"Atsu!!!" Akatsuki shouted running towards me.
"Ha ha."
"How does it feel, being toyed that way?" Akatsuki asked the other guy as we passed them.
"Dammit!!! Dammit!!"
