<h4>Chapter 42 Ookami vs Tokyo III</h4>


    As Mizuhara Aoi crashed against Ken, Ken fell down hard on the ground. And in that very moment when Ken was brought down by Mizuhara Aoi, Midori Aoi shot the loose ball towards the post.


    With nobody to stop the ball, the ballnded inside the.


    ''"Goaaaaallllllll!!!!"''


    The crowd burst out in cheers as the ballnded inside the.


    In ecstasy, Midori Aoi ran towards the bench where the substitute yers of Tokyo elementary school were seated.


    All of them began to jump on top of each other and began to celebrate Aoi''s goal. Finally opening the scoresheet, their happiness knew no bounds.


    [The dreadlock has finally broken. Midori Aoi, the guy who passed the ball to Kaminari Shinji has scored a goal against Ookami elementary school and shattered their dreams of lifting the national trophy for the first time. Six time champion Tokyo elementary school are looking for their seventh title.]


    [But wait..., what''s this! The referee is gesturing something. He has disallowed the goal.]


    "Are you blind ref?? Didn''t you see? It was a clear goal!!" Coach of Tokyo elementary school burst out in fury and began to cuss at referee as he disallowed the goal.


    The yers of Tokyo elementary school ran towards the referee and surrounded him. "''Didn''t you see ref? It was a clear goal!!"''


    They began to argue with the referee for his decision of disallowing the goal.


    [The yers of Tokyo elementary school doesn''t look very pleased about referee''s decision. They are looming all over him and surrounding him like pack of hyenas surrounding their prey.]


    For the earlier foulmited against Ken by Mizuhara Aoi, the referee disallowed the goal of Tokyo elementary school and dered the goal void.


    **** ****


    "Finally just when they managed to score the goal, the referee dered it void for the earlier foulmited against the opponent keeper. That coach''s face is a sight to behold. Just how much more dramatic can this game be." Luna eximed witnessing the riot taking ce in the pitch.


    Eric however remained silent and kept on staring at the yers in the field.


    "Come on ref!! What are you doing? That was a clear goal." An old man in his fourties who was supporting Tokyo elementary school, sitting beside them exasperated.


    Since a lot of spectators in the stands were supporting Tokyo elementary school, they were not pleased with the decision of referee.


    **** ****


    While the yers of Tokyo elementary school were arguing with the referee over his decision of disallowing the goal, Hiro walked towards Yuuto Oume.


    "I''m sure that you''re already aware of your mistakes. And I''m not saying that your mistake costed us this goal. But as a captain of our team, I need to make sure our team ys well and our yers remain sharp. So I won''t say much but you need to y as if your life is on the line."


    "You know it very well that I was the one who put in the words for you to coach Miura. So don''t prove me wrong Oume. Dull behaviours won''t be tolerated, I hope you get it and I hope you don''t repeat this mistake again." Hiro rolled his eyes towards Oume and put his hands on his shoulder.


    At that moment, Oume couldn''t even lift his head to lock eyes with Hiro. Hiro was simply too much domineering.


    Even if he wanted to forgive Yuuto Oume for his mistake, he couldn''t. He was the captain of his team afterall. And it was his responsibility to guide his teammates when they made a mistake.


    With 8 stat points on the line, he couldn''t allow anyone to make mistakes.


    Fortunately the referee dered the goal void for the earlier foulmited against Ken. A goal at that moment of the game could have ended their hopes of lifting the trophy.


    With only 12 minutes and additional time remaining that goal would have almost marked fullstop to their dreams of lifting the trophy.


    As he witnessed Oume''s body shrunken in fear, he realised he was being very harsh on him.


    "Sigh~"


    "I''m sorry about my tone, but this game is really important to me. So let''s just give our best, shall we?" Hiro released a deep sigh and apologized to Oume for scaring him.


    He then started to walk towards his position.


    "Sorry captain!! I won''t repeate such mistakes again." Yuuto Oume apologized to Hiro after realising his mistake.


    Hiro revealed a smile as he heard Oume''s apology.


    Even though he had azy mindset, he wasn''t the type of guy who would avoid taking responsibilities for the mistakesmitted.


    While they were conversing with each other, the referee was on a streak of his own. He had already shown three yellow cards to three different payers of Tokyo elementary school.


    He also showed a straight red card to the coach of Tokyo elementary school for his rude behaviour against the referee and dejected him out of the stadium.


    With those drama''s taking ce in the field, the game was taking a drastic turn.


    Witnessing their coach getting dejected out of the stadium, the yers of Tokyo elementary school started to quiet down. Afterall they would only be losing their yers, if they continued to argue with the referee.


    [Seems like the yers of Tokyo elementary school have finally calmned down. That was a wise decision from the yers of Tokyo elementary school. Afterall they could have lost even more yers, if they continued to argue with the referee. Now what will they do without the help of their coach?]


    And as the situation got resolved, the referee awarded a freekick to Ookami elementary school at the ce where the foul wasmitted.


    Akashi was the one to take the freekick. He casually passed the ball towards Sasaki. Sasaki then began to search for his options while dribbling the ball towards the center of the pitch.


    Since three yers of Tokyo elementary school were already booked, they couldn''t afford to y the game aggressively.


    Because all of the forwards of their team were being marked, Sasaki couldn''t find any open spaces. Unable to find open spaces, he passed the ball towards Nanahosi Ren.


    Nanahosi Ren, who was already in the middle third of the pitch began to casually roam around the middle third of the pitch with the ball in his feet. The yers of Tokyo elementary school couldn''t afford to let him roam freely with the ball.


    Both Mizuhara Aoi and Midori Aoi ran towards Nanahosi Ren. Just as they left their position, Gen and Ryu both started to make their run towards the goalpost.


    One running in the right nk and another in the left nk, they were both heading towards the goal. Instead of running forward, Hiro began to drop deep to receive the ball from Nanahosi Ren.


    Seeing Mizuhara Aoi and Midori Aoi approaching towards him. Nanahosi Ren immediately passed the ball towards Hiro who had dropped deep to receive the pass.


    While the defenders of Tokyo elementary school were upied with Gen and Ryu, they failed to notice the run of another yer.


    Patiently waiting for the ball at the middle third of the pitch, just beneath the center line, Yuuto Oume began to make his run just at the moment when Nanahosi Ren released the ball from his feet.


    Witnessing Hiro making his run towards Nanahosi Ren, Ishiki Soba, the defensive midfielder of Tokyo elementary school ran towards him.


    Sensing the presence of Ishiki Soba behind him, Hiro let the ball through his legs without touching it. Ishiki Soba couldn''t figure out the intention of Hiro. Because he was solely focused on Hiro, he didn''t even realise that Hiro didn''t touch the ball.


    As he let go of the ball, Hiro swiftly twisted his body and began to chase after the ball. Ishiki Soba couldn''t react on time and he had to once again chase after Hiro for the ball.


    Two defenders of Tokyo elementary school were already upied with Gen and Ryu. And only a single defender stood infront of him and the goalkeeper.


    Oshita Eita, a 5 feet tall central defender of Tokyo elementary school rushed towards him. With his massive body, he covered the entire vision of the post. He could no longer tell the position of the keeper of the Tokyo elementary school unless he dribbled past Eita.


    With Ishiki Soba approaching him from behind and Oshita Eita infront of him, he needed to make his decision quickly.


    While dribbling the ball, he began to step over the ball consecutively with his both foot.


    Left!! Right!! Left!! Right!!


    After stepping over the ball a little over three times, while stepping over the ball with his right foot on the fourth turn, he kicked the ball with the outside of his foot and passed the ball towards Yuuto Oume.


    Oshita Eita couldn''t do anything other than stare at the ball. As the ball rolled towards Oume, he didn''t control the ball.


    Instead he shot the ball without stopping it. The ball flew towards the post.


    From the right edge of the penalty box, Oume shot the ball. The ball flew towards the upper left corner of the goalpost.


    However the keeper managed to get a touch at the ball. And thus, the ball went out of bounds even though it was shot precisely at the post.


    Beep!!


    As the ball went out of bounds, they were awarded a corner kick at the 51st minute of the match.


    Just then the assistant coach of Tokyo elementary school decided to make a yer change.


    The yers of Ookami elementary school couldn''t help but stare at the yer who was making his way towards the pitch.


    "......He!!!"
