EVEN IF MISAKI WAS IN SOME KIND OF SLUMP EVER SINCE THE MIDDLE OF THE FIRST HALF, OL YOUTH IS TAKING THIS ATTACK SERIOUSLY, AND LORTIE IS GIVING INSTRUCTIONS TO THE DEFENDERS! THERE IS NO GAP!
My field of vision isn't back to normal yet... If I try to find Ferrilli, I won't be able to look for an
efficient way of attacking... But if I don't, he might come out of nowhere to cut my pass...
But... I can do this!
AND MISAKI IS SENDING THE BALL...! AH, BUT WHERE IS HE SENDING IT!? THERE'S NO ONE HERE... NOT TO MENTION IT'S TOO HIGH! THIS IS... GOING TO BE A THROW-IN FOR OL YOUTH!
Nihihi... In the end he still panicked and screwed up! So I was wrong to think you started to escape the
darkness... You actually fell even deeper than I thought!... Wait...
Gerini... Is still overlaping at full speed!? Even though Misaki's pass is behind him...!!
What!? Th... This is...!?
Exactly... Where I want it to be!!
AHHH, BUT!! THIS BALL THAT WE THOUGHT WAS GOING OUT OF BOUNDS... MADE AN IMPRESSIVE CURVE TO STAY IN THE FIELD AND GO RIGHT INTO GERINI'S FEET WHO WAS OVERLAPPING AT FULL SPEED!!
WITH THIS PERFECT PASS, GERINI IS ALREADY IN SHOOTING POSITION... BUT HERE IS FERRILLI!
I was too late to cut that pass... But I'm still on time to prevent you from shooting!
Vanishing shot...!
... What...!?
Wh... Where is the ball!? Where is the ball!?
AHHH! LOOKS LIKE GERINI MANAGED TO TRICK OL YOUTH! YOU HAVE TO THINK FROM THE PLAYERS' PERSPECTIVE TO UNDERSTAND... GERINI MADE A WIDE SWING MOTION, MAKING IT LOOK LIKE HE WAS GOING FOR A POWERFUL STRAIGHT SHOT, TO EVERYONE ON THE FIELD, IT LOOKED LIKE THE BALL DISAPPEARED, WHEN IN FACT, IT'S...
... SIMPLY ABOVE THEM...!
... BUT LORTIE EVENTUALLY NOTICED...!! HE'S JUMPING!! BUT ISN'T HE A BIT TOO LATE!? NO! HE'S MANAGING TO... AH, HE ONLY TOUCHED IT BUT DIDN'T CATCH IT! THIS IS STILL... GOING TOWARDS THE GOAL!!
D... Damn!!
BUT... FERRILLI IS ALSO HERE! HE'S MANAGING TO TOUCH THE BALL WITH AN OVERHEAD LIKE MOVE...! BUT HE DIDN'T CLEAR IT! IT'S...
... BUT HE DID IT! THE BALL IS ENDING ON THE UPPER NET! IT DIDN'T GO INTO THE GOAL! TOO BAD! THAT WAS A GREAT ATTACK FROM PSG YOUTH! AND HERE'S THE WHISTLE FOR THE END OF THE FIRST HALF!
HOWEVER THE AUDIENCE ISN'T FOOLED! EVEN THOUGH OL YOUTH MANAGED TO HOLD ON THIS TIME... THIS IS THE PROOF THAT PSG YOUTH WILL STILL BE A THREAT IN THE SECOND HALF! THE MATCH IS STILL OPEN!
Damn you, Misaki... You're managing to crawl your way up, away from the darkness... Moreover,
your teammates aren't giving up on you...
Well, this team is fitting him... And they are also members of the golden age after all... But we are in the
lead... As long as I don't take goals, victory will be ours!
We're led, but our soccer isn't wrong! They were in danger... If we go on like this, we can win!
Right, I think I also noticed something that could be useful...
Usually, Lortie's defense is impregnable... Misaki's volley or Bossi's shot, he caught them
without flinching... But, you remember what happened when I shot...
Right, he didn't see the ball, jumped late, couldn't catch the ball... Like he wasn't as good as usual.
And still, even though my shot was surprising, it shouldn't have bothered someone
like Lortie to that extent... Something prevented him to focus only on my shot...
Of course! Countering my field shaping by giving instructions to his teammates is preventing him from
completely focusing on the shot... Everything is clear now... Their plays, Ferrilli's provocations... Were to prevent me from using it...!!
