The next day around lunch time, the Yokohama team settled into the room they were all familiar with by now. This was where they discussed tactics for their upcoming matches.
Coach Hanada was up the front as usual, going through the things to look out for in the game. He had bags under his eyes, evidence of the late night he had pulled in order to gather all of this information.
Ken hadn't seen it the last few times since he was paying attention to the content, yet now that he was not playing, his mind wandered a little.
It was not only the head Coach, the other assistant coaches also looked dead tired. Perhaps it was because of the added pressure of the finals, or the fact that Ken was not going to be playing the game, but everyone in the room carried a fierce determination.
