Then while looking around him, he assumed his position between the poles. From behind, he could see almost the entirety of the pitch. And, the scene around him was so mesmerizing that he simply couldn't take his eyes off it.

"Yes, it should be like this," he murmured, nodding his head while feeling the pressure.

The pressure on him was nothing but immense. Yet, he couldn't afford to get devoured by the pressure built up around him.

The moment he had desired the most had finally presented itself. So, how could he afford to let his nervousness ruin this precious opportunity?

Pulling his gloves, he then tapped both sides of the pole to ease his nerves and ready himself for the match. Normally, he only made such a gesture during penalties. But, for some reason, he just couldn't stop himself from making such gestures.

Not only, did it help him soothe his nervousness, but he also believed that by doing so, he'd get more lucky. Sure, it was nothing more than superstition. But, if he believed in it then what's so wrong about doing it?

Beep!!

After everyone assumed their respective position, the referee blew his whistle, announcing the continuation of the match.

At once as the shrill sound of the referee's whistle echoed, the stadium came to life with the cheers of the audience and the movement of the players on the field. The opposing side hadn't made any changes while the Japanese side had some major changes in their squad.

Especially the substitution of Shun. It came as a surprise for many fans as they just couldn't help but feel skeptical about the changes. Shun had been nothing but impressive in the first half. So, despite his solid performance and form, why was he getting benched?

They just couldn't help but question the changes that have been made. But, despite their skepticism regarding the changes, they could do nothing but accept the change and have faith in their coach's decision.New updates at novelhall.com

Even after that short break, the opposing side's momentum didn't show any signs of slowing down as they pressed high from the get-go. Just like minutes before the end of the first half, they charged ahead ferociously.

Then, he vigorously shifted his attention, looking for possible threats heading his way. As he looked around him, his vision broadened. Multiple opposing players were heading his way, and so were his teammates.

Based on his observation, he could tell that leaving his position would be a pretty bad decision as Gueye seemed extremely fast. But, he just couldn't sit back and wait for Gueye to make his shot. He still had to obstruct him somehow.

Allowing him time to prepare would only put him in danger. But, so will leaving his position. Right now, he was quite in a tight spot.

'Don't just sit back there...,' Shun prayed desperately, furrowing his brows.

Though he remained silent, one could tell just from a glance that he was quite anxious at the moment. Trepidation was evident in his terrified eyes.

But, it wasn't just Shun who was terrified at the moment, almost everyone who supported Japan was terrified. And, the state of his teammates seated beside him was even worse than his. Trepidation flashed in their eyes while at the same time, they were desperately yelling, "Please, don't let him score"

Then all of a sudden, Taki left his position and rushed towards the ball. Upon seeing the dispositioning of the opposing keeper, Gueye became excited as he increased his pace.

He had already been moving so fast. Yet, he still increased his pace even further all of a sudden. Many upon witnessing this scene became extremely horrified.

"Wasn't he already running on his top speed?"

"How much faster can he get?"

"Just why?"

Many cried out, their frustrated cries echoed in the stadium casting a gloomy pall over the stadium.

Then all of a sudden, Taki slowed his pace.
