As the airplane which was carrying the players of Japan after their victorious campaign at the Asian qualifiers descended through the clouds, players of Japan who a mont ago were totally fine beca extrely tensed. A sense of excitent and anticipation perated the cabin.
Anxiously so players peered out of the window. Imdiately upon seeing this picturesque landscape and familiar scene which they had not seen for a long ti, their eyes were filled with pure elation.
So of them felt so relieved and happy that they couldn't stop themselves from shedding tears upon seeing this familiar scene which they missed so much during their stay at foreign land.
Well why wouldn't they feel elated? Afterall, after a grueling journey, they were finally returning their ho country as victors. And just by the looks on their face, one could tell that many of them were etching to celebrate their triumph with their fans.
And the closer the plane descended to the runway, the more excited and anxious players started to feel. They knew that their match was broadcasted all over Japan. And they also knew it beforehand that many supporters would be present at the airport to welco them.
Thus, because of such reasons, right now many players were both anxious and excited.
And Hiro who was seated at one of the window seat was the sa as well. Although he wasn't showcasing this feeling on his face but it would be lying if Hiro said that he wasn't excited about this mont.
Would there be a feeling better for a player than celebrating their triumph with their supporters?
Sure enough they hadn't won the world cup yet. But still becoming the champion of Asia was a huge deal as well. Not as much as winning world cup. But at finals after a compelling battle, they had defeated one of their neighborhood rivals.
Finally the plane touched down on the tarmac and imdiately the roar of the engines was replaced by the deafening roar of a waiting crowd. Many supporters were gathered around the airport to show their support to their valiant hero's who had returned ho after a successful campaign, spreading the na of their country around the world.
"Can you hear them" Shun who was seated alongside Hiro, excitedly asked him.
His eyes sparkling with elation while his tone sounding extrely excited gave away his emotions which he was feeling at the mont.
Maintaining his composure, Hiro however calmly answered, "Yes, I can hear them completely fine. But you should calm yourself down first or else you might faint due to excitent"
Imdiately upon hearing Hiro's response Shun made faces as he frowned his brows while muttering with sowhat dejected tone, "Tch... You're as stiff as ever"
Hiro however didn't mind his comnts as he shrugged his answer while turning towards Yutaka who unlike others was looking a bit bothered at the mont.
"I'm really sorry Hiro... Sob! I nearly blew the ga away and spilled water on your efforts.... sob!" Yutaka apologized in his crying voice while shedding tears.
While looking at Yutaka, Hiro couldn't help but reminisce the mont after the match when Yutaka ca to him and apologized to him while shedding tears. That mont unlike other tis, Yutaka seed really miserable and pitiful.
It was true that at the final mont when the team counted on him, he nearly costed them their victory because of his inability to make accurate decision. But it was also true that he had prevented a threatening attack by making tily interception.
However even he himself overlooked that fact and only focused at his mistake. Like who doesn't mistakes? No matter how skilled a player is, when he's on the field mistakes are inevitable.
It's just that more skilled players minimize the mistake to so extent.
However even though Yutaka felt guilty about his mistake, Hiro wouldn't have put the bla on him even if they had lost the ga. If anything, he would have blad himself for not bring able to do better.
Finally after a short while the motion of the plane ca to an halt and the air-hostesses stood by the door and instructed the players that they board off the plane one by one in a queue.
As she said those words, players started taking out their luggage and started boarding off the plane in a queue.
"How many people would there be to welco us?"
"Hehe... I just hope that I could numbers of so girls"
With joyous smile etched on their faces, they boarded off the plane while joking and conversing with each other. Right now, most of the players were quite loquacious. And Hiro who was standing at the rear of the queue could hear their loud chatter even at the place where he was standing.
"Hmph..... they sure look spirited for soone who didn't do much in the ga" Hearing their idle chatters, Shun couldn't help himself from scoffing.
As ntioned by Shun, right now the players who hadn't had much impact in the ga were being the most loudest while those who had made great impact on the ga such as Hiro, Shun, Nijichi and few others were mostly silent.
Although Hiro himself found such loud chatters annoying but today he didn't mind any of those chatters— he knew that they were just excited because of their triumph.
Indeed he didn't like celebrating minor victories because of his belief to look at the bigger picture instead of indulging with minor victories but today, he didn't feel like holding himself back either. Like the rest of his teammates, he wanted to celebrate this mont.
After facing the Korean team led by Park Seung-Gyu, he didn't feel like it was a minor victory. Coming out victories in that neck and neck battle was a huge feat.
Thus today, he didn't bicker about the goofy attitude of his teammate, "Let them enjoy, player in the lilight aren't the only player who should get to enjoy the mont, they have all played their part equally well. So let them enjoy"
Hearing Hiro's answer, an unsettling feeling started taking shape in Shun as he found Hiro's words extrely perplexing.
Wasn't he the sa person who lectured about celebrating our first victory in the tournant?
Shun thought to himself while giving a "are you for real bro" look.
