Due to the special effects of his talent, he held a certain advantage over the tall defender before him or so he thought. Hence, he confidently approached him.
Yet for so reason, he struggled to get through him.
The man before him stood tall like a fortress, unmoving and solid. It didn't matter how he tried to get through him. Body feints, flashy footwork, quick acceleration, all his efforts were getting thwarted effortlessly.
At this mont, it seed like his greatest achievent was to keep possession of the ball.
It took him a while to realize that he couldn't get through him with his current self even with the help of the system. Probably, Marquinhos possessed so talent that allowed him to overpower Hiro. After all, it wasn't unlikely for a player of such caliber to possess so terrifying talents.
Hiro had hit a wall.
It wouldn't be an overstatent to say that he had been humbled.
After failing to get past him, he passed the ball to Kubo. Though he didn't want to admit it, still it was an undeniable fact that he had lost in a one-on-one duel.
So as he let go of the ball, he felt a pang of sha clawing his heart.
Still, it wasn't the ti to be feeling demotivated after all the match was far from over. Hence, he imdiately made a run right after he let go of the ball.
Upon seeing him making a pass, many rejoiced as they felt triumphant for so reason.
They were so intoxicated by that montary satisfaction that they failed to look at the bigger picture. Sure, Hiro's defeat was evident but it didn't an that they were out of danger.
They were still under siege.
Hiro might have been their biggest concern but he wasn't their sole concern.
So, what were they even rejoicing?
As soon as Kubo got the ball, he accelerated.
Since Marquinhos was occupied with Hiro, it provided him space to accelerate which he didn't waste. Hiro wasn't the only player who was fast on the ball.
Kubo, being the star player he was, wasted no mont to strike terror in the hearts of the opposing fans with his threatening pace.
The opposing players scrambled to their positions as they prepared to face him. Hiro was a wildcard but Kubo wasn't.
They were familiar with his playstyle so, they didn't waste any mont to obstruct him. But how could stopping him be so simple?
If it was that easy to stop him, many players in the Spanish league wouldn't be struggling against him. Kubo's small fra only added to his advantage as he could bring out even more explosiveness in his dribble thanks to his center of gravity being low.
Kubo easily got through the first defender, forcing Marquinhos to stop his pursuit of Hiro.
After all, if he didn't stop Kubo what use would pursuing Hiro do?
So, he montarily retracted his focus from Hiro to stop Kubo.
As for the remaining opposing defenders, they were occupied by Tominaga and Tatsuki, leaving Hiro completely unmarked.
Even so, making a pass in the center was like giving away the ball. So, Kubo couldn't hastily make a pass in the center.
Was forcing himself the only way?
A desperate thought flashed in his mind as he failed to find any options available.
Right at this mont, he caught a glimpse of sothing; Hiro was sprinting at an unbelievable speed to the opposite corner. A cold gleam flashed past his eyes before he struck the ball, sending the ball flying toward the opposite corner.
If the pass was short, soone else might intercept it.
So with that thought in mind, Kubo was only left with the other option.
By no ans could he deliver a pass right at Hiro's feet as it'd only result in the ball being stolen.
Hence, he sent a long ball.
If Hiro wanted to reach this pass, he'd have to push past his limits.
Since it was far away from the post, despite catching the whiff of Kubo's intentions, Bento couldn't leave his position to chase the ball.
After all, it wasn't just Hiro that he had to worry about but another opposing player was already rushing in that direction as well.
So, he couldn't hastily leave his position.
Following the soaring ball, many in the stand were already on their toes. Curiosity and fear gripped their heart making their heart thump.
Would he make it?
There's no way, he'll reach that ball.
Many had different views regarding the outco.
As for Hiro, although he had been humbled just recently, he had already let that matter go. At this mont, his attention was solely concentrated on the mont at hand.
The only thing he was concerned about was reaching the ball.
Many eyes lit up as they figured out that Hiro wouldn't reach the ball. The distance between him and the ball was so great that he'd have to fly to reach it.
Seeing the distance between Hiro and the ball, they couldn't help but rejoice.
However, the next mont their eyes dilapidated as they witnessed sothing they hadn't
even thought in their wildest imagination- Hiro seed to be flying.
The daily conditioning and flexibility exercises he did seed to be proving useful as right now, he was soaring above the surface.
More like, he seed to be performing a butterfly kick.
Such acrobatic moves were rarely seen in football.
The onlookers were left stunned by his amazing display of acrobatics. The way they stared at
him almost made it seem as if their eyes would pop out of their eyes.
Due to the spin, Hiro could cover a great distance in a short mont. So, it was rather
practicable for him to be performing such a move.
If it connects, there's no doubt, it'd be one of the greatest goals one would be able to witness
in their lifeti.
Even if he doesn't connect, people will still have to admire his performance.
After all, how many could have the courage to display such techniques in a real match?
But to everybody's astonishnt, he connected.
