Even if I'm somehow exhausted and can't use my top spin pass, I can still raise the ball...
And even if it isn't accurate, I'll do my best to kick it!
LOOKS LIKE HAMBURG IS LEAVING THE FREE KICK TO THEIR UNCROWNED GENERALS! METZER IS KICKING...
... A SIMPLE HIGH, FLOATING BALL... BUT KAPPELMAN IS THE FIRST ONE TO REACT TO IT! EVEN IF METZER SEEMS COMPLETELY EXHAUSTED, KAPPELMAN IS STILL IN TOP FORM AND HIS SPEED OF EXECUTION IS THE BEST AMONG THE PLAYERS IN THIS AREA...!
THIS IS IT!! KAPPELMAN IS FINALLY KICKING HIS SIDEWINDER SHOT! ATTACKING FROM THE FLANKS LIKE A SNAKE...!
AHHH, NO! SCHESTER IS TAMING THE SNAKE IN MID AIR! JUST AFTER THE BALL CURVED, HE JUMPED AND EXTENDED HIS LEG, BLOCKING THE COURSE OF THE SHOT!
Wh... What!?
AND WITH THIS... THE FIRST HALF IS OVER! BREMEN YOUTH, THROUGH THEIR COMPUTER SCHESTER, HAD COMPLETE CONTROL OVER THE WHOLE FIELD, BUT HAMBURG YOUTH MANAGED TO HOLD ON THANKS TO THEIR LAST FORTRESS WAKABAYASHI!
DESPITE SCHESTER'S DANGEROUS PASSES, MARGUS' POWERFUL HEADERS AND EFFICIENT POSTPLAY, WAKABAYASHI'S DEFENSE SHOWED NO GAPS! BUT WILL HE BE ABLE TO HOLD ON FOR ANOTHER 45 MINUTES... OR EVEN MORE IF WE GO INTO EXTRA TIME?
This is so frustrating! I know I can score... But everytime I'm inside the penalty area, he's coming out
of his goal to prevent me from shooting!
He undoubtedly performed better than my data... But then, there's only one thing left to do...
How? You mean... The zone?
I'll force myself to enter the zone, yes... In this state, I'll be able to score myself or give you the
perfect opportunity... Or both, and even more, who knows... He might crumble as soon as we're getting a goal...
So... Metzer, are you feeling better? Will you be able to continue playing?
I... I really want to, I don't want to leave the match when I couldn't do anything...
But even now... I have troubles breathing... I... Just know I will be a burden...
What? Are you kidding!? There's no way you can give up now! You have to keep playing!
That's enough, Kappelman!
B... But coach Mikami!
You're upset because without Metzer, you selfihly think you have less chances to score... But it takes a
lot of courage for Metzer to think of the team first... Replacing him will be better... Since Schester will either focus on destroying our new playmaker for a while, or leave him alone, giving us more chances to attack...
This could also be less harsh on the stamina of our defense line... So, are you ready, Jung?
...... Yes, coach.
The opponent will most likely attack even harder, I'll be counting on you, Wakabayashi.
I will defend the goal, no matter what.
... You'd better give me the ball in front of the goal, brat...
......
BOTH TEAMS ARE COMING BACK IN THE FIELD! NO CHANGES FOR BREMEN YOUTH... WHY WOULD THEY? THEY HAVE DOMINATED HAMBURG YOUTH ALL ALONG THE FIRST HALF WITH THESE MEMBERS, DESPITE THEIR LACK OF GOALS!
AS FOR HAMBURG YOUTH... LOOKS LIKE ONE OF THE UNCROWNED GENERALS, METZER, WAS REPLACED... BY... FINN... JUNG? HE'S ONLY 16 AND DIDN'T HAVE MUCH PLAYTIME, SO NOT MUCH IS KNOWN ABOUT HIM... WAS IT REALLY WISE TO REPLACE THE EXPERIENCED METZER DESPITE HIS LACK OF SUCCESS?
They most likely did this because I have no data on him... But it won't matter...
