Blue prison monster

(That's right, Dragon, let's tear through their defense!)

Hiori Yoichi now felt incredibly fired up, something he had never experienced before. Only playing soccer with Hyaku Ryugo could ignite this feeling in him!

He knew this pass had to bypass the Y Team players who were running to intercept. Hiori Yoichi's pupils flashed with blue light, and in the next moment, he finally found the best passing angle.

Then, he stepped forward with his left foot, aligning it with the back of the ball. His right calf swung backward, his ankle at a ninety-degree angle, and he kicked at the perfect moment!

The ball took on an unusual angle, bypassing the Y Team player who had run in front of him to intercept, and rushed into the left side of the penalty area.

"He missed the pass! Ryugo isn't even in that position. Quick, steal the ball!"

"Let's counterattack!"

Matsutani Eisaku and Kobayashijima were already running back into their own half, shouting desperately.

Inside the penalty area, the Y Team players were also chasing after the ball, but suddenly, the ball changed direction, reversing diagonally backward.

The direction the ball reversed was exactly where Hyaku Ryugo was!

Watching the ball reverse back, Hyaku Ryugo's eyes lit up. Even he had momentarily thought Hiori Yoichi had made a mistake.

But he didn't chase after the ball like the Y Team players, purely because of his instinctive belief that Hiori Yoichi wouldn't make such a mistake.

When the ball reached Hyaku Ryugo's feet, he immediately made a shooting motion, but suddenly a figure appeared in front of him.

Startled, he forcibly stopped his shot, otherwise, the figure blocking his shooting route would have perfectly intercepted his shot.

(Kukawa Kenzu? When did this guy get back on defense?)

Hyaku Ryugo was surprised, but because he had delayed the perfect shooting opportunity, two more Y Team players blocked him.

Behind him, the four Y Team players who had been bypassed in the attacking third had returned to defend. Kobayashijima and Kukawa Kenzu also quickly ran to his side.

The good news was that the triplet brothers ran back together with those four Y Team players, doing their best to hold them back to reduce the pressure on Hyaku Ryugo.

Hyaku Ryugo looked at the situation in front of him and had no choice but to find a new shooting route.

In the next moment, Hyaku Ryugo suddenly lowered his shoulder and charged to the left, but kicked the ball to the right.

His plan was to first shake off the Y Team defender in front of him, then stop his body and charge to the right, creating a shooting route in an instant.

Suddenly, a loud bang broke his plan.

[Bang!!]

GOAL!! V Team 5: 4 Y Team

Hyaku Ryugo stared blankly at Itoshi Rin's figure, thinking speechlessly.

(Rin, you dog, you're playing the manipulation game again, aren't you? So that's why he was so kind to pass the ball to Hiori. He had already calculated it.)

(He knew clearly that when Hiori could pass the ball to me, he wouldn't pass it to anyone else.)

(After passing the ball to me, the opponent's attention would be completely focused on me, so he could hide in the shadows and wait for the opportunity.)

(Ha, only I can help him attract attention. Anyone who has watched our game recordings knows that Rin and I are the absolute core of this team's scoring.)

(But this guy really believed I could bring the ball into the penalty area.)

(It can be said that when I dribble the ball in the attacking third or midfield, the opponent's attention might not be entirely on me.)

(But once I dribble the ball into the defensive third or even the penalty area, they won't pay attention to anything else. They all wish they could glue their eyes to me.)

Hyaku Ryugo walked up to Itoshi Rin, but after waiting for a long time, Itoshi Rin didn't say a word.

"Aren't you even listening...?"

"Shut up, idiot. I'm thinking about something, don't bother me."

After Itoshi Rin finished speaking, he walked straight back to his position in Hyaku Ryugo's incredulous gaze, waiting for the kickoff.

"What the hell? I think you're lighting a lamp in the toilet - courting death!"

"Forget it, forget it, Ryugo. He scored a goal after all, let's just let him off this time."

Hiori Yoichi walked up with a smile, pulling back Hyaku Ryugo, who wanted to argue with Itoshi Rin.

"I'm giving you face, Hiori, otherwise, I would have made that guy Rin fly today! (Please refer to the emoticon pack in the comment section)"

"Haha, alright, Ryugo. The other team is about to kick off, let's quickly return to our positions."

Y Team's ball possession, Matsutani Eisaku kickoff from the center circle.

The Y Team still used their old tactics, two people in the center, one in front and one behind.

Kobayashijima on the left wing takes two people, Kukawa Kenzu on the right wing takes two people, leaving two left and right defenders in their own penalty area.

After the kickoff, Matsutani Eisaku slowly advanced a short distance and directly passed to Kobayashijima in the attacking third on the V Team's left wing.

Seeing the ball passed to Kobayashijima, the triplet brothers quickly ran towards him to intercept. Kobayashijima chose to stop the ball as if he was deliberately waiting for the triplet brothers to come over.

"Don't think you can always get past the three of us brothers."

The triplet brothers found the right opportunity, each marking one, preventing the three Y Team players from easily passing the ball.

Just as one of the triplet brothers was about to touch Kobayashijima's ball,

Kobayashijima quickly turned around and passed the ball back to Matsutani Eisaku, who was behind him on the right.

Then, taking advantage of the moment when the triplet brothers looked at the ball, the three Y Team players each ran to another position, breaking away from the three brothers' marking.

Hyaku Ryugo suddenly stopped his body that was originally rushing towards Kobayashijima and turned around to chase after Matsutani Eisaku.

(I'm going to be disgusted to death by these Y Team guys. With 10 forwards, how can they keep passing the ball?)

Next, Hyaku Ryugo's mentality collapsed even more. Before the ball even reached Matsutani Eisaku, Matsutani Eisaku passed it diagonally to Kukawa Kenzu in front of him on the right.

When the ball flew to Kukawa Kenzu, Kukawa Kenzu directly kicked the ball to the V Team's left midfield position!

Kobayashijima was waiting for the ball to fall in that position, but unfortunately, Hyaku Ryugo was also about to rush to that position.

Although Kobayashijima's expression was flustered, his movements were not flustered at all. He directly used a diving header to pass the ball back.

The passed-back ball was once again passed by the Y Team's left midfielder behind Kobayashijima to Matsutani Eisaku in the middle midfield position of the V Team.

Without giving the V Team a chance to react, Matsutani Eisaku stepped forward and accelerated the ball towards the V Team's right midfield position with one kick!

After passing the ball, the Y Team players in the middle and left all rushed towards the V Team's backfield.

Hiori Yoichi and Itoshi Rin were both in the right midfield position, but their choices after the ball flew over were different.

Hiori Yoichi slowly approached the landing point of the ball, preparing to grab the ball, while Itoshi Rin turned around and ran towards his own penalty area.

Hyaku Ryugo chose to stay put. He didn't know if Hiori Yoichi could grab the ball, but what if he could?

Hyaku Ryugo looked at the rapidly descending soccer ball, but he was thinking in his heart,

(Even if Hiori can't grab it, I don't have to worry about anything with my speed of returning to defense, and Rin is also returning to defense.)

(I'm just afraid that Hiori will really grab the ball, but I've returned to defense.)

(I will never let Hiori fall into a situation where there is no one to pass to!)
