Chapter 64 - I'm Not Tsubasa

Current score, Koudo High FC 1-1 MFC.

The spectators of this friendly match are almost a hundred people, mostly from class B and D and other students.

They cheered for their friends on the field, including girls from both class like Honami, Ringo, Fumino, Kushida, Karuizawa, Horikita even Airi.

Since today is Sunday and many students got nothing to do, they decide to watch the match too.

At first half, they can see the match was one sided since Hirata and Shou was together in the school football team, surprisingly, an amateur team lead by Ryou was able to tied the score at the last 5 minutes.

Ringo: "I don't know who's team i'm going to cheer for."

Honami: "Don't worry! Come on Ryou, you can do it Shibata-kun, win this match Ryuji-kun! See?"

Fumino: "You're cheering both teams Honami-chan."

On the class 1D side.

Horikita: "I can't believe that Ayanokouji can score a goal."

Kushida: "Mostly because a pass from Hiroki-kun from class 1B."

Airi: "Ye.. yeah, both of them have a good teamwork."

..

The match started again with the whistle from the referee.

Now MFC start to play a little bit aggressive, Ayanokouji pass the ball to Furuichi and started to run towards enemy defense, Ryou waiting in the middle of the field when Furuichi pass him a ball.

He started to run with the ball with him, feinting and passed 1 opponent before doing a rabona pass to Ryuji.

"Wooww... good footwork!"

"Look, he is doing rabona!"

Ryuji running to the right side with the ball before give Jun a long pass.

Unfortunately, Ryou was marked with 3 players and Ayanokouji already marked by 2 players too. Koudo High FC decide to increase the markers for Ryou and Ayanokouji from 2 to 3 and from 1 to 2.

In the middle on confussion, Jun just kick the ball high to Ryou's position, he is not in a position to do a heading, then he make a step back before rotate his body and jump.

'D*mn, I'm not Tsubasa!!' he thought.

Doing an overhead kick, his right foot connected with the ball, but because of his form was not perfect, the ball just flew on the left side of the goal.

Gasp was heard around the field.

"Oohh... an overhead kick!"

"Unfortunately, its not a goal."

Ayanokouji: "Its a shame thats not going into the net."

Ryou: "However you look at it, it was forced, i'm not in a good position to did that."

Ryuji: "Almost!"

Jun: "Sorry, all of you was marked."

A few minutes played and both teams attacking each others.

The game started with a kick from Koudo's goalkeeper.

The ball flew high to the middle of the field, Hirata control the ball with his ċhėst and dribble it moving past Ryota before pass it to Misugi. Misugi with no one mark him was free, and looking at his chance, he shoot the ball with lots of power. Sudou skillfully blocked the ball, making it bounced outside of the field, a corner kick for Koudo High FC.

"That was close!"

"Good job Sudou!"

"Nice goalkeeping!"

A corner kick from Hirata, he kicked the ball high, but Ueno able to head it far to make his goal save.

82 minutes on second half, both teams looked tired, especially MFC. It was already a good feat for them to hold their school football team until now. Ryou's instruction help them to hold the score still 1-1.

2-1 for Koudo High FC, the score didn't change since Ryou was marked by 3 people and Ayanokouji marked by 2 people, with their ace can't move, the rest of the team can do nothing but defense. Final score 2-1 for Koudo High FC.

'Its no use to force them, i'm afraid if i play seriously, my teammate will not be able to handle it.' Ryou thought.

Since football is a team sports, no matter how good you are if the rest of your team was an amateur, then you can do nothing about that, this is not Tsubasa fan-fict afterall, where a player can attack and defense at the same time.

Both teams lined up facing each other and bow, the spectators give them an applause for a good game.

Misugi: "That was a good game Hiroki-kun, even with a players when most of them can't play really well, you can hold us until the last minute."

Hirata: "Yeah, if it was not because that wild pass, maybe the final score still 1-1."

Ryou: "No, they're playing pretty good for someone with no experience in football tournament. Unfortunately for some of us, their stamina was not good enough."

Sho: "Ryou, why are you not joining our Football Team?"

Misugi: "Yeah, even in our first string team, i believe you are more skilled than most of us."

Ryou: "Thank you very much for your invitation, i'm honored. But i'm sorry, i have another plan."

Misugi: "Its okay, at least we know where we can seek help when we need it for football match."

..

Ryou back to his teammates.

Ryou: "Good job all of you, you guys did well."

Sudou: "D*mmit, if i punch that ball outside, maybe we will not conceded in the last minute."

Ike: "Sorry guys, my blunder was the one who make us lost. I'm so tired."

Ryou: "Don't worry, actually this is achievement for us to play against our school team and only lost 2-1."

Ryuji: "Yeah, we hold our school team until the last minute."

Ayanokouji: "Unfortunately, Ryou and I marked tightly in the second half.

Ryou: "Its more like 'fortunately' for you Ayanokouji-kun."

Ayanokouji: "You really like teasing people."

Ryuji: "Its his nature."

Ayanokouji: "Must be hard for you class 1B."

Ryuji: "Yeah it is."

Ryou: "Oy, i can hear you clearly!"

They joke around and laughing, with this match, without them knowing strenghten the bond between boys class 1B and 1D.
