Chapter 491: One Man Show



"Huh?!"

Many showed an expression full of shock as they witnessed the mesmerizing acceleration of Hiro on the field.

The way he sprinted was unfathomable to the naked eye.

Their number seven who was one of the fastest couldn't even compare against him.

Storming his way to the opposing half, Hiro was accelerating at an unprecedented speed at the moment, leaving many bewildered and panicked.

At most after stealing the ball, they had expected him to make a pass. But it hadn't crossed anybody's mind that he would instead start accelerating.

Was he out of his mind?

After all, he was sprinting all the way from his half.

It would have been a different scenario if he was open. But he had several obstacles in his way. Almost the entirety of the opposing players leaving their attackers were concentrated inside the opposing half.

So what was he trying to achieve by sprinting all the way from his half?

Soon, Hiro encountered his first obstacle in the form of the opposing center mid.

However, he evaded his first obstacle with ease. But he couldn't rest easy as no sooner had he dribbled past the opposing center mid than another midfielder showed up.

At the same time, another midfielder showed up as well. The two ganged up on him and imprisoned him. Simultaneously they swept their legs attempting to snatch the ball away from him while at the same time they pressured him.

Yet despite their repeated assault, he didn't give away the ball.

It was as if the ball was stuck in his feet.

Many of his teammates came to his aid while opposing players tried to stop him. However, Hiro remained adamant about keeping the ball as he refused to pass.

It wasn't that he didn't want to pass but he couldn't locate a space to pass.

With a quick body feint, Hiro got through the defender in front of him making it his fourth victim to get dribbled by him.

By now, his skill had already waned away.

Though he could use it again, it wasn't a wise decision to use it as he had little to no room for him to operate.

If only he could tap into the zone, he might be able to produce a miracle. But the effect of his talent was random, so he couldn't tap into it willingly.

He had only one option left.

Though he was a little far from the post, he could only try his luck.

Fireball Shot!

About 26 yards away from the post while the opposing defenders were blocking his path, he stretched his leg. His body swayed as he prepared to shoot. While the muscle in his legs coiled like a spring, preparing to release the tension.

Bam!

At once, he released the stored tension on the ball, causing it to soar above the head of the opposing player that was blocking his way.

The ball made a beautiful arc in the air due to the spin on the ball.

As for the defender in front of him, he was left in awe. So were the fans present in the stadium. They could only follow the ball, helplessly.

They shouldn't be feeling exhilarated in such a perilous moment. Yet seeing the ball soaring above the heads of their players, some couldn't help but feel exhilarated.

As for the opposing keeper, most of his view was blocked by his teammates. So, he couldn't catch a better glimpse of the shot. At most, he could only predict the direction of the ball.

So, having predicted its trajectory, he made a dive.

Yet still he fell short, once again.

Goal!!

Exhilarated, some opposing fans nearly shot forth from their seat to celebrate. While many cried out in disappointment.
