252  Unrestrained

Sweeping his gaze across the players infront of him, Hiro exhaled a mouth full of turbid air while analysing his skills, 'Since I've already used lightning steps once, I can use it only one more time. And as for eagle eye, I can still use it two more times'

The sun, a golden ball of light, illuminating the whole sky with it's majestic rays was still shining brightly in the sky without any obstruction.

Under the brilliance of the dazzling sunlight and echoes of the cheering fans, stadium where the match between Japan u17 national team and Jordan u17 national team was taking place had livened up.

And even though the pitch was green, right now it was divided into two different shades. One side was dominated by the figures dressed in jersey in red while the other side was dominated by figures dressed in jersey in blue.

Even so, it was evident to the people present in the stand that figures dressed in the jersey in blue was the dominating side in this pitch right now.

With their numerical advantage, not only were they covering more spaces, they also looked more organised and more threatening than the other side.

While most of Jordan's forces were clustered at one place which happened to be their defensive third, forces of Japan was equally spread to every part of the field.

With Nijichi, Honda and Ryu in their offense, Hiro, Yutaka and Takeshi Ono in their midfield and Akutsu, Yumeki, Keita and Shotaro in their defense and Shun in their goalpost, be it defense or midfield or offense, every position of this team of Japan was packed with talented players.

And while the players of both the team positioned themselves in their respective position, referee took a glance at his watch before blowing the whistle trapped between his lips to commence the second half of the match.

Beeep!!

As the sound of the whistle echoed in the stadium, cheers of the fans present in the stand also intensified while they expressed their support to the players.

"Go Japan!!"

"Teach those devious players a lesson"

Most of the spectators present in the stand were openly expressing their support to Japan without any hesitation.

Their support was purely because of Musa's act of conduct in the first half. Because of his acting, right now despite their pathetic state they were facing the backlash of the audience.

And because of that right now, players of Jordan were at a great pressure.

Passing the ball back to his teammates, Jordan started the kickoff this time around. And hence with this the match finally continued.

Already behind by two goals on top of playing with 10 players against 11 players, Jordan were also facing the boos and jeers of the audience.

Truly in this moment, every odd were against them. With no sight of light, right now they were walking in a dark tunnel.

Hiro who had been suppressing himself since the beginning of the first half now as he let himself lose dashed towards the direction of the ball in lightning speed right from the get go.

Brushing past Nijichi who should have been the one to chase after the ball, Hiro rushed towards the opposing player with the ball.

"What the-?" staring at Hiro with his eye opened wide, Nijichi muttered in shock.

However Nijichi wasn't the only one who was flabbergasted by Hiro's instant movement. Opposing players were even more flabbergasted than Nijichi at this moment.

As there's a saying, "To deceive your opponent you'll have to deceive your allies first"

And right now if even his teammates were caught off-guard then shouldn't the opposing team be in the same situation?

Not only the players present in the field, spectators seated in the stand were almost in the same situation as them.

Their eyes widened and their heart filled with excitement, right now all of their eyes were fixedly staring at Hiro.

Filled with anticipation; whether Hiro could get the ball or not, right now they seemed quite thrilled.

Hiro however as he rushed towards the opposing player wasn't using his skill Lightning Steps right now. Thus his speed wasn't as fast. However that didn't mean that he was slow either.

Afterall his skill Lightning Steps only allowed him to decrease the time taken for him to reach his maximum acceleration.

Gradually his speed was increasing at a threatening pace.

And given the reaction of his opponents, it was highly likely for him to snatch the ball away.

As such the opposing player to whom the ball was passed, upon seeing the approaching figure of Hiro, he started to panic.

In a state of panic, he tried to return the ball back without even thinking that Hiro was charging him from the same direction where he was trying to return the ball back.

"Tch- that idiot...." Ahmed clicked his tongue while contorting his face, upon seeing the blunder of his teammate.

Immediately he then sounded an order, "Everybody hold your position and fall back steadily"

As he said those words, those who were at the defense tightened their defence while those in the midfield and offense steadily falled back while charging towards Hiro.

At the same time, Hiro's teammates all rushed forward in their top speed from every direction.

Honda who was the fastest among the attacker was the quickest one to react.

Hiro then easily intercepted the pass and began to rush forward without losing his momentum.

Opposing forward charged towards him from behind. However he simply wasn't his match in terms of speed.

Even while he was on the ball, he left behind the chasing opposing forward in dust. The opposing forward could only try hard to somehow catch up to him.

Similarly their two midfielders quickly charged towards him from the front at the same time.

Without losing his momentum, Hiro performed a few step overs and body feints to get past them.

Just like a hot knife running through a slab of butter, Hiro easily penetrated through their defence without any unnecessary movements.

As if each and every single one of his movement was like the current of the stream, he nimbly got past through their midfielders and now approached their defensive line.
