There wasn't much distance between him and Alex. So, Takeshi gave a relentless chase, trying his hardest to win the ball.

Alex saw him coming. Yet, he didn't panic at all. Instead, he calmly approached the incoming Takeshi as if he were inviting him with open arms.

As impressive as Takeshi's defense was, Hiro couldn't trust him fully to win the ball for them.

If he somehow wins back the ball, that'd be for the better. But, even if he didn't manage to, he couldn't care less. Right now, Takeshi was no more than a decoy.

Since the opposing fullback had made up a run from behind and they were distracted by the midfield tof the opposing team, most of his team's players hadn't noticed his run. That is why, none were on their guard against the incoming threat.

But he had seen it coming. Yet, he couldn't speak of it or else he'd draw the attention of the opposing players.

Then while rushing back, he made use of his skill Hawk Eyes. The view of the entire field cto his vision as he used his skill. Nobody was spared, be it his teammates or the opposing players, he could see them all.

Previously he had noticed the run of one of their fullback. But now as he used his skill, he could see their other fullback charging from the opposite flank. If not for his skill, he might have missed it. Thus, upon finding out this important piece of information, he couldn't help but feel grateful for having such a handy skill.

'Who'll he pass?'

Though he had found out their tactics, he still couldn't figure out precisely whom Alex was hinting toward. But, it didn't matter whoever he chose. Since he had already figured out their tactics, now all he needed to do was to neutralize it.

However, he couldn't do it alone— he needed help. So, he turned towards his nearest teammate for help which happened to be Yutaka.

Not the best option, still better than not having any option.

While running past him, he mumbled briskly, "Rush to the left"

He only dropped a hint since he didn't have any tfor an explanation. Now, it was all up to Yutaka. If he doesn't get it then they won't be able to stop the opposing team's build-up. But, if he figures it out, then they might be able to turn the situation.

Since the defense line of the opposing team right now was full of holes, if they could somehow win the ball back, they'd turn the tables on them. With a quick counterattack, they could catch the opposing players off-guard.

"Huh?"

Yutaka heard something when Hiro passed him, but he couldn't tell exactly what he had heard.

"Left?" he mumbled, trying to recall what he had heard.

But, due to the heat of the moment and the noise in the background, no matter how hard he tried to recall, he couldn't recall.

Though he couldn't recall the full sentence of Hiro, he still turned to the left. Having great vision, it didn't take him long to figure out what Hiro meant upon seeing the incoming fullback who was charging from the left flank.

Immediately he then darted towards the left flank, trying to intercept the incoming fullback. He wasn't confident of his defending, yet still, he could position himself before him to at least stall him.

Unlike Hiro who rushed furtively, Yutaka appeared rather flashy.

Steadily approaching Takeshi, Alex got past him with ease. Using his own momentum against himself, Alex performed a simple stepover to get past him; making a fool out of him. Yet still, even after getting dribbled past, Takeshi continued his pursuit.

Immediately he changed his direction and started pressing from behind. Maintaining constant pressure on Alex, he did everything in his power to win the ball.

Takeshi's relentless pressure did the trick as it disrupted the focus of Alex. Alongside searching for his teammates, he also had to deal with Takeshi which made it rather difficult for him to concentrate.

Alex knew about his teammate's run. But still, he had to stall tfor them to be useful. He couldn't just toss the ball to them.

Sure, he had other options, but those were rather risky. And, he only liked to make choices he was sure about. Which is why, for a while, he kept on hogging the ball.

Then finally after a short while, he sensed an opportunity. Both the fullbacks of his team were exceptional runners and exceptional passers. And, having played alongside them, he knew that he could trust them.

Once again using Takeshi's own momentum against himself, he easily sidestepped him. Then, he immediately shot a killer pass to the right flank.

Noticing Yutaka, he didn't pass it to the left. Instead, he passed it to the right where seemingly nobody was present. Until he saw the figure of Hiro emerging out of nowhere.

For a split second upon noticing the figure of Hiro, his eyes widened in surprise and horror. Wasn't he rushing back? So, from where did he arrive?

Alex's heart sank upon seeing him. And, his face contorted in horror. But, he couldn't afford to remain confused. He had to pull his shit together and defend.

He was surprised and so were many others present in the stadium. That interruption from Hiro sent chills to many. And, it nearly got the entire stadium on their toes.

Interrupting the pass midway, he pushed upfield without losing momentum. Under the spell of the skill Lightning Steps, currently, he had no match on the field. And the ones who could match him were both dispositioned.

It was unlikely they could catch up to him.

Then with a burst of speed, he charged. Opposing players crushing toward him, attempting to stop him from advancing. Yet with swift and nimble steps, he got past them with ease.

Witnessing the march of Hiro, Simon started feeling a bit tense. If their defenders too couldn't stop him, then he'd have to face this monster of a man in a one-on-one battle.

Exploiting the gaps in the defense of the opposing team, Hiro charged from the flanks. And, in no time, he found himself in front of the penalty box of the opposing team.
