541 World Cup Qualifier III

Just as the opposing player loosened their guard around him to cover other areas of the field, Hiro left the encirclement. From the beginning, he had been waiting for this opportunity. So, how could he let go of such an opportunity?

It wouldn't be an overstatement to say that their morale had hit the rock-bottom and it would take a miracle for them to put up a fight. On the contrary, it was the complete opposite on the Japanese side. Manager Nanami although he didn't appear jubilant, you could tell that he was content with the performance of his players.

'It makes his fourth goal already and there's more than twenty minutes left on the goal' Naoto smiled while looking at Hiro who was celebrating in the distance. Then again, his smile froze as he muttered, "Don't tell me—"
