Another 194: Birth of a supernova

AND THE SECOND HALF IS STARTING! OHH, AS SOON AS HE'S RECEIVING THE BALL, SANTANA IS RUSHING TOWARDS SAO PAULO'S PART OF THE FIELD!!


AND.... AHH, THIS TIME TSUBASA IS MOVING TOWARDS HIM!! HE SEEMS DETERMINED TO STOP HIM!!

... Didn't you give up?... I guess it doesn't really matter...

BOTH OF THEM ARE SWINGING THEIR LEGS FOR ANOTHER CLASH!! THE WINNER THIS TIME IS...


AHHHH, BUT AT THE VERY LAST MOMENT, TSUBASA STOPPED HIS LEG SWING TO GET AWAY! SANTANA TRIED TO STOP TOO... BUT EVEN WITH HIS MACHINE-LIKE REACTION, HE STILL KICKED THE BALL TOWARDS...

!! What the...!?

... RADUNGA! WHO'S LOWERING THIS BALL WITH A HEADER!!

Alright kiddo!!

AT THIS INSTANT... DESPITE NOT SEEING IT DIRECTLY...


DESPITE THE DISTANCE...


ALL AROUND THE WORLD...


THEY ALL FELT THAT...


... A NEW SUPERNOVA APPEARED!!


Yes! It's a counter chance!

... RADUNGA LOWERED THE BALL FOR GIORGINO! HE'S RUSHING ON THE SIDELINE, SOMEHOW, THE WHOLE FLAMENGO TEAM IS FROZEN!!


... NO! SANTAMARIA REACTED AND QUICKLY CAME TO PREVENT GIORGINO FROM SENDING HIS CENTERING... AHH BUT!! GIORGINO IS SENDING A LOW BALL IN THE CENTER INSTEAD!!

N... No good, they have seized the pace!

THIS IS FOR TSUBASA, WHO'S GETTING IN SHOOTING POSITION!! HOWEVER FLAMENGO IS FINALLY REACTING AND TO PLAYERS ARE COMING TO BLOCK HIS SHOT! SANTANA ALSO CHASED HIM!


AH! BUT ONCE AGAIN THIS LEG SWING WAS A FAKE! NO, MORE LIKE... HE CHANGED ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT! HE ONLY PUSHED THE BALL TO THE LEFT AND IS NOW FIRING A LOW SHOT WITH THE LEFT LEG!

This is the low shot he used to score against Meao!!

FLAMENGO'S KEEPER IS LEFT MOTIONLESS! AHHH! BUT ALBERTO IS MANAGING TO BLOCK IT! HE SOMHOW WENT NEAR HIS OWN GOAL AFTER SEEING SAO PAULO'S PACE!!

I told you I'd defend with everything I have!!

AHH, BUT LEANDRO JUMPED TOWARDS THE REPELLED BALL, UNLEASHING HIS SPECIALTY A JUMPING HEADER!!


AND IT'S IN!! SAO PAULO, WITH TSUBASA AT THEIR CORE, MANAGED TO FINALLY SCORE ANOTHER GOAL, BUT FLAMENGO IS STILL IN THE LEAD, 3 TO 2!!

Yeaaahhh! We did it guys!!

...... He made me lose the ball... And I couldn't block him... This feeling... Ahah... At last... I thought that
my parting gift... to all of my teammates would be a large victory against Sao Paulo...

This must be his special ability... He didn't plan for these, they weren't traps... He can change what he's
doing in the middle of his move! Even my reflexes couldn't keep up...

But I'm still the better player! We're still leading... And I'll give back what we took!

This is going to be an even better parting gift! Today, we're going to defeat... A supernova!
