Chapter 287 Qualifier finals IV

And because of such repeated failures, not only Yutaka's but the condition of the entire team was getting extremely dire with every passing seconds. They were starting to lose their momentum.

At the same time, opposing players were rapidly falling back at an incredible pace. Filling in the gaps and increasing their pressure.

Yutaka's newfound confidence was taking a major hit and his confidence was getting shaken.

His breathing was getting a bit hurried, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat and his eyes which were glowing with confidence was starting to show signs of anxiousness, 'Why is he so hard to beat?'

Even his fluid movement had become somewhat sluggish than before. Right now his condition was like a castle made up of cards which could fall with a single gust of wind.

Kim Il-sung although a bit moody wasn't an idiot who couldn't read the obvious signs present infront of him. He was well aware of Yutaka's condition.

Thus at this moment, his eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light as he struck his legs forward while trying to disrupt Yutaka's balance using his body.

During the process, he collided hardly with Yutaka as he tried to push Yutaka.

Coming in contact with Kim Il-sung, Yutaka felt the pressure of Kim Il-sung. Thus he lost his footing which inturn made him lose his balance.

However although he lost his balance, he didn't lose the hold of the ball. It was like the ball was stuck in his legs. Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only

Even so, Kim Il-sung was adamant. He wasn't willing to let go of Yutaka. Still Yutaka was somehow holding his ground by keeping hold of the ball.

This really showcased Yutaka's ability to keep hold of the ball to it's fullest.

All of sudden, everybody's focus drifted towards Hiro and Hiro became the centre of the attention.

Taking advantage of this moment, every player of Japan who's movements were restricted a moment ago broke free as they all made their own move.

Be it Nijichi, Yutaka, Honda or others every player started moving respectively.

The movement of all this players put the opposing players in a predicament.

Should they focus at Hiro? Or should they give those players a chase?

Many opposing players started to panic and hesitate. Leaving Hiro alone would certainly spell a doom. Hiro was just too big of a threat.

Not only could he score by himself, he could also create opportunities for the players around him.

Even if they stopped him outside the penalty box, he could hit a long range shot.

Their hesitation however was only momentary hesitation as all of them immediately regained their cool and started to chase after the players who had broken free.

At the same time, three people including Kim Il-sung rushed towards Hiro to put a stop to his march.

Kim Il-sung and another player chased him from behind while one of their central defender named Kim Ji-hoon charged towards him from the front.

Compared to Kim Il-sung, Kim Ji-hoon had a slightly small frame. However despite his small frame, he was remarkably agile on the field. Considering his pace he should be a fullback but the reason why their coach had placed him in the centre defender position was to utilise him as a libero.

While his team has the ball, he'd step up. And when they're on defence, he'd step down. Even a moment ago when they're on the offense, he was actually at the half-line.

But as soon as Japan started their counterattack, he immediately fell back using his speed.

Apart from playing as a defender, you'll even find him playing as a defensive midfielder most of the time. Kim Ji-hoon was really a versatile player.
