Blue prison monster

(Alright, I'll take the shot myself!)

The look in Hyori Yo's eyes shifted from doubt to determination, but before the ball could even reach him, a figure leaped high and intercepted it!

(It's him! How did that Y Team midfielder get here? Did he read that I was going to pass to Ryugo?)

(No, something's not right...)

Hyori Yo quickly turned back to chase after the Y Team midfielder, catching a glimpse of Banjo Ryugo charging horizontally along the right side of the Y Team's midfield.

Combining this with his own position, a flash of insight struck Hyori Yo's brain.

(So that's it! Ryugo wasn't just dribbling, no! Maybe even earlier, when he dribbled into the Y Team's attacking zone, they had already set a trap.)

(First, the four players in the attacking zone unconsciously forced Ryugo to the right, then six players surrounded him, forcing him to pass.)

(Hmm? Wait, the reason Ryugo chose to pass was because my position was the best spot for a shot.)

(But... would the people who set up such a trap really overlook me?)

(They must have deliberately let me get into this position to make the trapped Ryugo choose to pass instead of breaking through himself.)

(I was wondering why no one was marking me when I ran to this position. So I was caught in their trap from the start.)

After figuring everything out, Hyori Yo also confirmed something in his mind.

There must be a genius on the other team who is on the same level as him!

The Y Team midfielder, dribbling from the left side of the Y Team's backfield, and Banjo Ryugo, running horizontally towards the left side of the Y Team's midfield,

were about to meet at that point in the left midfield when the Y Team midfielder suddenly stopped dribbling.

He seemed to know that Banjo Ryugo's speed would definitely allow him to reach the left midfield before him and block his path.

So the Y Team midfielder stopped near the midfield line, raised his right foot back, seemingly not wanting to face Banjo Ryugo one-on-one, and chose to pass.

Banjo Ryugo watched the Y Team midfielder raise his foot to pass, forcefully leaping forward, blocking his passing route.

But the Y Team midfielder's expression didn't change at all, as if he had anticipated this.

His right foot, which was kicking towards the ball, suddenly changed its posture, using the inside of his right foot to kick the ball towards his left foot.

At the same time, his left foot lifted slightly forward, quickly tapping the ball with his heel as it reached his left foot, passing it diagonally to the Y Team right midfielder behind and to his left!

The Y Team right midfielder didn't give Banjo Ryugo a chance to turn around and block him, accelerating the pass towards the center of the Y Team's midfield with one kick.

There, Hisakawa Kenji had just run into position, and once again passed the ball towards the right side of the Y Team's midfield.

"This ball belongs to us, the triplets!"

Before the triplet brothers could continue speaking, a figure suddenly ran into position and kicked the ball directly!

[Bang!]

The Y Team right forward, who had run to the right side of the Y Team's midfield, didn't adjust his angle at all, as if he knew that the position where he kicked the ball was exactly where the ball would land!

The passed ball was steadily received by Matsutani Eisaku, who had run to the Y Team's attacking zone, and then he dribbled towards V Team's attacking zone.

The situation on the V Team's field was awkward. Half of the players were all in the opponent's field, and their own four defenders were near the penalty area.

Only Itoshi Rin was there in the attacking and midfield zones, and he seemed to be observing the Y Team's formation changes.

On the Y Team's side, the six players who had surrounded Banjo Ryugo had already run towards the V Team when Banjo Ryugo ran horizontally towards the left side of the Y Team's midfield.

Matsutani Eisaku, who had run to the V Team's midfield, also knew that he was no match for Itoshi Rin one-on-one.

Banjo Ryugo clicked his tongue and forcefully stopped his body, running towards the left side of Kobayashi Jima.

He chose that since he couldn't get this pass, he would intercept Kobayashi Jima's pass!

But a surprising scene appeared to Banjo Ryugo. Kobayashi Jima actually headed the ball to the right.

(Huh? This kid isn't passing into the penalty area. Where is he passing? A mistake...)

Before Banjo Ryugo could finish thinking, the Y Team left forward appeared on the right side where Kobayashi Jima passed the ball!

Then he passed the ball to the Y Team right midfielder behind and to his left.

After that, the Y Team right midfielder didn't give Banjo Ryugo a chance to react,

and once again passed the ball towards the center of the V Team's backfield. The entire pass formed a "V" shape.

Watching the ball being passed away and moving away from him, Banjo Ryugo thought in his heart with some anger.

(Cowards, what a bunch of cowards! All you forwards aren't thinking about how to dribble past the opponent, you're just thinking about passing, right?)

(Crap! Can't kick anymore, there's dirty stuff! dT-Tb)

Banjo Ryugo complained, but his body was still very honest, turning around and rushing towards the center of his own backfield.

Matsutani Eisaku in the center of the V Team's backfield had already raised his foot to shoot directly, but all three of the V Team's defenders were blocking in front of him.

Putian Yamato had also learned to be smart this time. He felt that Matsutani Eisaku was definitely pretending to shoot and then pass.

So he chose to stay in place and wait for Matsutani Eisaku to pass, intercepting Matsutani Eisaku's confident pass this time!

Then he himself would pass the ball out and sound the horn for a counterattack.

Even if he guessed wrong, there were still three other people blocking Matsutani Eisaku's shooting route. This wave was virtually flawless!

While Putian Yamato was fantasizing, Matsutani Eisaku had already landed his foot to kick the ball.

As expected, it was as Putian Yamato thought, not a shot but a pass, but what surprised him was that this ball was a back pass!

The Y Team right forward behind and to Matsutani Eisaku's left didn't let the ball back very far, stepping forward and shooting the ball towards the left side of the V Team's backfield in front of his left.

Itoshi Rin and Hisakawa Kenji appeared at the left side of the V Team's backfield at the same time.

Without giving Itoshi Rin a chance to consider, Hisakawa Kenji faced Itoshi Rin with his back.

Before Itoshi Rin could consider what Hisakawa Kenji was going to do, two Y Team players suddenly rushed up from the side, trying to block Itoshi Rin from the left and right.

Although Itoshi Rin reacted quickly, it still delayed the time he ran forward.

Hisakawa Kenji seized this moment to tap the ball with his heel, passing the ball into the V Team's penalty area!

In the penalty area, the Y Team left midfielder was about to kick the ball to shoot as soon as it reached his feet.

Then he looked up at the penalty area, preparing to find the right angle to shoot, but what was in front of him was not the penalty area but Banjo Ryugo's figure blocking his shooting route!

(Huh? How did this guy appear in this position?)

(Shouldn't he still be outside the penalty area? What should I do? Should I pass it back?)

(A forced shot is impossible to succeed. Oh? Okay, I understand.)
