THE NEXT ONE TO SHOOT FOR TOHO IS... AH, ONE OF THE SUBSTITUTES WHO GOT IN FOR EXTRA TIME?

What? I thought they'd go with Sawada...

AND THIS IS... AH, A SHOT WITH THE LEFT LEG...!

WAS THE LEFT LEGGED-SHOT A SURPRISE FOR MORISAKI? HE'S REACTING A BIT TOO LATE!! AH, BUT THE BALL IS HITTING THE GOAL BAR...

... HOWEVER, THE BALL IS FALLING BEHIND THE LINE!! TOHO SCORED THEIR 3RD PENALTY KICK!

TAKI'S NEXT FOR NANKATSU! HE'S MORE USED TO PERFORM ASSISTS THAN SCORING FOR HIS TEAM, MAYBE HE'LL BE THE FIRST TO FAIL AGAINST THE BEST HIGH SCHOOL KEEPER...!?

AHH, BUT... NO!! WAKASHIMAZU ONCE AGAIN DIVED TOO SOON TO THE RIGHT SIDE WHEN TAKI AIMED TO THE LEFT!!

No way Wakashimazu! I'm sure of it now...


He's too focused on the injury he suffered during the counter shot... He isn't "in the zone" anymore!

AND NEXT FOR TOHO... WHA, THE OTHER SUBSTITUTE WHO GOT IN DURING EXTRA TIME?

A... Again? Not Sawada!?

HE'S MAKING HIS APPROACH RUN... AND HE'S SHOOTING...!!

THE BALL WAS KIND OF SLOW, ALLOWING MORISAKI TO REACT, AND REPELL IT WITH THE FINGERS...!! AHH, BUT!! THE BALL IS...

EVEN THOUGH MORISAKI TOUCHED IT, THE COURSE OF THE REPELLED BALL, WITH A SLIGHT ROTATION EFFECT, STILL MADE IT GO TOWARDS THE SIDE NET!! 4-3 FOR TOHO!


N... No way... Don't tell me those two were actually...


A left-foot shot bouncing on the goal bar or goal post, a rotation effect shot going in even if you
touch it... But they can't pull it off in normal matches situations, and overall, our starting mid fielders are slightly better than them...


When the fatigue is here though, they are quite good replacements, my primary objective was
indeed to reinforce the midfield to attack more... But a coach has to think more steps ahead...


And so I also chose them because I knew that the possibility of a PK shootout was here! And their shots,
even though almost unusable in usual matches, make them... Penalty kick specialists!!


Today, I lost as a coach to Roberto... Who predicted all of my reactions even though he wasn't even
here... But there is no way I wouldn't be able to surpass a high schooler filling in for the tactical directives...


But even that isn't enough to defeat Tsubasa right now... You're too focused on your injury!

....!! I know that... I was sure they'd keep on targetting my injury... But if it's like that...

IT'S IZAWA'S TURN TO SHOOT! A JACK OF ALL TRADES, HIS SHOOTING POWER MUST NOT BE BAD CONSIDERING HE'S SOMETIMES SCORING WITH LONG SHOTS!!

AH, BUT ONCE AGAIN WAKASHIMAZU IS DIVING TOWARDS THE WRONG SIDE!! HE PROBABLY THOUGHT IZAWA WOULD AIM FOR THE SAME SIDE AS KISUGI AND TAKI... 4-4!!

No way...!! These... Damn...!!


No way! There's no way he heard me say that to Wakashimazu... No, he was...


They'll be aware we're targetting the left. Go for the right this time...

... One step ahead!!
