Another 150: Get the flow back

37 MINUTES INTO THE SECOND HALF AND IT'S STILL 1-0 FOR JEF UNITED AGAINST FC TOKYO! OF COURSE, FC TOKYO WANTS TO CATCH UP AND TIE, BUT WITH THEIR GOAL, JEF UNITED HAS A NEWFOUND VIGOR, AND SEIZED THE FLOW OF THE MATCH!!


WHICH IS WHY MISUGI IS NOW FOCUSED ON DEFENSE... THANKS TO HIS DIRECTIVES, FC TOKYO'S DEFENSE IS HOLDING ON...

The flow's with JEF, it can't be helped... Another goal would kill any chance of a comeback...

... HE EVEN MANAGES TO STOP THE OPPONENT WITH OFFSIDE TRAPS, EFFECTIVELY DISRUPTING THEIR FLOW...

So defend and wait for an opportunity is the right thing to do...

FREE KICK FOR FC TOKYO, THEY'RE SENDING IT TO MIURA WHO IS QUICKLY MARKED...


MIURA IS LOSING THE BALL TO MUTO, BUT MISUGI IS TAKING IT BACK IMMEDIATELY AFTER!!


AND HE'S GETTING INTO A SHOOTING POSITION IMMEDIATELY AFTER TAKING THE BALL BACK! THIS TIME...

Take this...!!

... THIS TIME IT'S A DRIVE SHOT! A DRIVE SHOT FROM THE SIDE!!


AH, BUT GREAT DEFENSE FROM JEF UNITED'S KEEPER KUSHINO! HE ONLY MANAGES TO REPELL IT, BUT IT DIDN'T GO IN! THIS IS STILL GOING TO BE A CORNER KICK FOR FC TOKYO...


So they were prepared against it... But more importantly, with this, the flow is back with us for now...

KELLY IS SHOOTING THE CORNER KICK... AH, AND HE'S AIMING DIRECTLY FOR THE GOAL!!


BUT, ONCE AGAIN, KUSHINO ISN'T TRICKED, HE'S PERFECTLY CATCHING THE BALL WITH TWO HANDS!!


JEF UNITED'S KEEPER KUSHINO SEEMS REALLY RELIABLE!! LOOKS LIKE IT'LL BE HARD FOR FC TOKYO TO EVEN TIE! MOREOVER...


MOREOVER, IT LOOKS LIKE COACH VERDENIK WANTS TO SUBSTITUTE CHOI FOR THE DEFENDER YOSHIDA! OF COURSE HE'S STRENGTHENING HIS DEFENSE, HE WANTS TO AVOID EXTRA TIME AND SETTLE THIS MATCH WITH A VICTORY!


Of course... Since we got the flow back, they're getting ready to withstand our counterattack...

... AS A RESULT... FC TOKYO IS ON THE OFFENSE, BUT JEF UNITED IS RESISTING WELL! THEY'RE EFFICIENTLY PROTECTING THEIR LEADING GOAL... IS FC TOKYO'S FIRST MATCH AT HOME GOING TO BE A LOSS!?


No weaknesses... This is much different than a high school team... At this rate...

JEF UNITED'S MIDFIELDER HASEBE IS DRIBBLING... AH, BUT HE'S QUICKLY MARKED BY MISUGI, COMING FROM HIS BLIND SPOT!...


Heart bump...!!

AND WITH THIS SURPRISE ATTACK, MISUGI MANAGES TO STEAL THE BALL BACK!!


... WHAT KIND OF ATTACK IS HE GOING TO SHOW? IS FC TOKYO FINALLY GOING TO TIE?

Data is absolute...

And it's telling me... There's no way into their goal...!!
