Chapter 66 - Total Domination

The match began under a radiant sun, with both teams lined up and ready to give it their all. As soon as the referee signaled, Kayden, the captain of Class A, moved forward with impressive speed and stole the ball in a clean move, evading a Class B midfielder. With the ball well controlled, Kayden started advancing through the center of the field, his dribbling skills leaving the opposing defenders helpless.

As soon as he crossed midfield, he saw Hamaguchi making a run on the left side, and with a fluid move, he passed the ball to him with a precise strike. Hamaguchi received it effortlessly and began advancing toward the rival defense. However, Class B, desperate, quickly closed ranks, and Hamaguchi soon found himself surrounded. Calmly, he passed the ball back to Kayden, who had already moved forward and was strategically positioned further up.

Kayden received the pass without hesitation, briefly pausing to assess the field. Noticing a small gap between the defenders, he faked right, deceiving two rivals who tried to intercept him. With that brief distraction, Kayden took the opportunity to advance toward the opposing penalty area. There, he saw Shibata running diagonally toward the goal, perfectly unmarked. Without wasting time, Kayden delivered a perfectly weighted through ball, which passed cleanly between the two defenders attempting to intercept it.

Shibata, upon receiving the pass, controlled the ball with a soft touch, quickly turned, and seeing the goalkeeper coming forward to narrow the angle, shot powerfully toward the net. The shot was well-directed, but the Class B goalkeeper reacted just in time, blocking the ball with a great stretch. However, the rebound fell right to Kayden's feet, who didn't waste the opportunity. With a soft, precise touch, he pushed the ball into the back of the net. Goal! Class A took the lead. Kayden raised his fist, and his teammates surrounded him to celebrate.

Class B restarted the game, but the pressure from Class A did not relent. In a defensive play, Hamaguchi intercepted a poor pass from the opposing team and quickly sent it to Kayden, who received it near midfield. Kayden started advancing calmly, surveying the positions of the Class B players. Seeing an open space in the center, he suddenly accelerated, leaving two defenders behind with a body feint to the right and a quick burst to the left.

With an unshakable stride, Kayden found himself facing one last defender, who tried to block his path. Kayden faked right, then left, and finally passed the ball around the defender, running to the other side to collect it in the penalty area. Without losing a second, he crossed the ball with precision to Hamaguchi, who was ready in the six-yard box. Hamaguchi jumped and headed the ball, sending it straight into the back of the net. Goal! The score was now 2-0 in favor of Class A.

The match continued, and Class B's defense began to show signs of frustration. They tried to reorganize, but Kayden remained unstoppable. In one play, he stole the ball from an errant pass by an opposing midfielder, and with a series of quick dribbles, passed between two players, advancing toward the penalty area. As he approached, the goalkeeper came forward to narrow the angle, but Kayden, with ice in his veins, eluded him with a soft touch to the right and shot with precision into the empty net. The ball slid in, marking the third goal of the match.

After the break, Class B returned to the field with a more defensive attitude, clearly trying to avoid a rout. However, Kayden and his team didn't lower the intensity. In a combined play, Hamaguchi positioned himself as a defensive midfielder and passed the ball to Kayden, who received it at midfield. Taking advantage of the low pressure from the defenders, he began to advance slowly, watching his teammates' movements.

He saw Shibata pushing forward on the right wing, and without stopping, he made a long, precise pass. Shibata sprinted down the field, controlling the ball near the touchline. From there, he sent a high cross into the box, where Kayden had advanced again, anticipating the Class B defense. With an elegant jump, he volleyed the ball, sending it into the top left corner of the goal. The goalkeeper had no chance of stopping it. Another goal for Class A! The score was now 4-0.

The last play of the match clearly reflected Kayden and his team's absolute dominance. With just minutes remaining, Class A orchestrated one final attack. Hamaguchi controlled the ball in the center and, with impeccable vision, made a short pass to Kayden, who was near the penalty area. Immediately, Kayden noticed Shibata making a run on the left wing. Without losing time, he passed the ball quickly.

Shibata received it, entered the penalty area, and seeing a small opening, launched a powerful shot. The Class B goalkeeper managed to deflect the ball, but the rebound fell once again to Kayden's feet, who had followed the play. With complete calm, he took a precise shot, sealing the score with a resounding 5-0.

The final whistle blew, and Kayden's team celebrated their overwhelming victory. Class B had been outplayed at every corner of the field, humiliated by the skill and coordination of Class A. Kayden had been the heart of this victory, demonstrating leadership and skill that inspired all his teammates
