Another 119: All out

AND FINALLY, THE TOHO ELEVEN IS COMING INTO THE PITCH NOW! MAYBE FINDING NANKATSU ALREADY WAITING FOR THEM ON THE FIELD WILL MAKE AN IMPACT ON THEM!


That attitude is like shouting out loud your intentions... You are going to try to play beyond your
limits, like against Musashi... But we knew it was coming sooner or later... And we can all play that game!! All, except...

IT'S NANKATSU'S KICK-OFF! OH, AND IT LOOKS LIKE NANKATSU IS REALLY FIRED UP! TAKI, KISUGI AND TSUBASA ARE RUSHING FORWARD!

Guys, it's coming now!! I'm counting on you!!

HOWEVER, TOHO IS DEFENDING AGGRESSIVELY, JUST LIKE IN THE END OF THE FIRST HALF, THEY ALREADY MANAGED TO TAKE THE BALL FROM TSUBASA LIKE THAT!!


BUT IT ISN'T WORKING THIS TIME!! TSUBASA IS DODGING ALL OF TOHO'S ATTACKS AS IF HE WAS FLYING!!

That's the kinda dodge he used against me an' my keeper!

They got me when my leg was numb, but even if I can't play beyond my limits, I can do at least that much!

AHHH, BUT...!!


BUT TOHO'S PLAYERS ARE USING THE LEG THEY EXTENDED TO JUMP ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE AFTERWARDS! TSUBASA STILL MANAGES TO DODGE THEM AGAIN, BUT...!


Jumping tiger tackle!!

BUT THEN, HYUGA IS COMING TO FINISH THE JOB WITH HIS DIVING TACKLE, TAKING THE BALL FROM TSUBASA IN THE AIR!! TOHO'S FORWARDS ARE STILL PLAYING NEAR THE MIDFIELD, AND THIS TACTIC IS STILL A SUCCESS!


AND IT'S ALREADY TOHO'S TURN TO ATTACK!! AH, BUT KISUGI AND TAKI ARE COMING BACK AS FAST AS THEY CAN TO MARK HYUGA!


BUT AS SOON AS THEY CATCH UP AND TRY TO STOP HIM, THEY'RE BLOWN AWAY BY HIS STRAIGHT LINE DRIBBLE, SO POWERFUL BECAUSE OF HIS STRONG LEGS AND LOINS!

Uwah!!

I will stop you!!

HOWEVER, THE SWEEPER TAKASUGI WENT ALL THE WAY UP HERE, AND THIS TIME THERE'S A DIFFERENCE IN WEIGHT!! STILL...


... TAKASUGI CLEARLY DIDN'T GO FOR THE BALL BUT JUST PHYSICALLY IMPEDED HIM!! AND HE'S GETTING A YELLOW CARD!!

Damn... But there was no other choice...

Bastard! You did that on purpose! Without that you couldn't have stopped me from scoring!
...... What did you say?

AH, BUT THERE'S A QUARREL BETWEEN TAKASUGI AND HYUGA! THE LATTER IS PROBABLY ANGRY BECAUSE OF THE SWEEPER'S FOUL, LET'S HOPE THAT HE WON'T...

Kojiro!! Stop immediately!!

AND THIS IS ANOTHER YELLOW CARD...! FOR HYUGA THIS TIME!

Well, that could've been worse... That's one of the problems with fighting spirit...

it will make you perform better, but also make you too fired up. Combined with the frustration of
these denied goals, and everyone going all out, it was bound to happen. We're lucky our ace wasn't sent off, since he's the one overflowing with fighting spirit the most.

... But you made the right choice, coming so high and stop him with a foul.
I wanted to be farther away from our goal to block his shot this time.

It'd have pushed me like last time, but at least not all the way into the goal...
But he didn't shoot! It means he was aware of that, don't you think?

Most likely. That'd mean he won't try to shoot directly at our wall for the free kick.
Yeah, Toho will probably set up a kick to allow him to shoot closer, or with no interference.

SAWADA IS DOING THE FREE KICK FOR TOHO! AS EXPECTED, HE ISN'T SHOOTING DIRECTLY, BUT SENDING IT TO A TEAMMATE... AND IT'S OF COURSE HYUGA!!

There! Just as we thought!!

BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THE IZAWA TAKASUGI ISHIZAKI WALL FORESAW THIS! THEY MOVED AT THE SAME TIME SAWADA WAS PASSING THE BALL! IT'S A MOVING WALL FROM NANKATSU!!

....!!
