<h4>Chapter 297 Qualifier finals XIV </h4>


    In the meantime while the yers were getting schooled by their coaches, a buzz of anticipation and excitement was growing in the stands.


    From different parts of the stand, people excitedly talking about their favourite moment of the game could be heard.


    "That freekick was truly extraordinary" a young fan enveloped in the colours of Korean national team expressed his feeling with great admiration towards the scorer.


    "Indeed that freekick was truly marvellous. I literally had goosebumps while watching the ball getting past the reach of their keeper" another young fan who was seated right beside him nodded his head as he agreed with the statement of the previous fan.


    Another fan who was seated alongside them however frowned his brows and made a concerned remark, "But can we... win against them though? They seemed really.... tough"


    As he spoke such, all of a sudden the smiles on the faces of those two previous fans froze as they frowned. However they immediately dispelled the negative feelings and once again lifted the corner of their lips before speaking in an energetic tone, "What are you so afraid of? Obviously we''re gonna win"


    And finally after 10 minutes break, yers of both the team started entering the field once again via the tunnel.


    Upon seeing the yers entering the field, the crowd went wild with excitement as they broke into loud cheers.


    Those loud prating cheers tore through the air as it resounded all over the field, uplifting the mood of the entire stadium inturn making the stadium extremely lively.


    However unlike the scene in the first half, right now yers of both the team seemed rather calm andposed. Unaffected by the cheers resounding in the stadium, they strode towards the pitch with determination burning in their eyes.


    Sure enough something had changed. And even people present in the stand could sense the change.


    Thus while looking at the figures of the yers walking towards the pitch, they felt even more exhrated as their eyes grew impatient with anticipation.


    Just as Hiro stepped at the foot of the tunnel leading to the pitch, he was bombarded by a shockwave of the loud cheering noisesing from the mouth of the tunnel.


    Upon hearing the bustling noise, Hiro''s calm face which was rejuvenating with vitality after a quick wash revealed a slight grin, amused by the enthusiastic chantsing from outside the tunnel.


    Just by listening to their cheers, Hiro could vividly feel the enthusiasm those fans were showcasing without even needing to look at them.


    Almost all of his teammates had already exited the tunnel and right now it was only him inside the tunnel.


    Walking along this dimly lit tunnel, the more closer he got towards the mouth of the tunnel, the more his heart raced with excitement.


    Those loud enthusiastic cheersing from infront of him intensified with his every steps.


    Finally upon stepping out of the tunnel, everything became clear to him as he swept his gaze across the stadium, marvelled by majestic sight whichy infront of him.


    Thousands and thousands of voices upon mixing together was creating a breathtaking symphony filled with enthusiasm and vitality. Their emotions upon mixing together was adding colours to this stadium, further entuating the beauty of this stadium.


    Compared to the first half, the scene inside the stadium had aplete turnover. The people were just more enthusiastic than ever.


    Although it wasn''t his first time experiencing such situation, Hiro could still never get enough of such experiences. May be somewhere in his heart, he too yearned for attention.


    After enjoying the lively atmosphere of the stadium for a while, Hiro then rolled his eyes towards the pitch as he diverted his gaze towards the opposing yers.


    At the same time, the smile on his face faded away as his once joyous face turned grim and solemn.


    ''Sure enough, you all wouldn''t sit idle either'' just by looking at the faces of opposing yers, Hiro could deduce that something had taken ce in their locker room.


    They had already reconciled with each other and now they look more unified than ever.


    While sweeping his gaze through the opposing team, his gaze crashed against Park Seung-gyu''s as he turned to look at him.


    Just like him, he had also been spying on the opposing team. And since he couldn''t find Hiro, he had been awaiting for him.


    Locking eyes with each other, those two stared at each other without any sort of expression on their faces.


    However although it seemedpletely normal from the outside, right now sparks could be seen flying because of the collision of their gazes if looked closely.


    ''So what kind of strategy have youe up with?'' shooting his gaze towards Hiro, Park Seung-gyu thought.


    ''Still not showing any emotions huh?'' Hiro thought while staring at Park Seung-gyu.


    Those two continued to stare at each other for a while before taking their eyes off each other at the same time.


    While making his way towards his position, Hiro turned to look at his teammates, "You all remember right?"


    Upon hearing his question, everybody determinedly nodded their head.


    Not only both the teams had improvised their strategies, both of the team had used some of their substitution card as well.


    Honda was reced by Kaminari Denji at the same time after causing that ruckus in the locker room, Park Ji-hye was taken out to set an example for the yers in the team.


    And that exemry methods effectiveness could clearly bee seen on the field as the yers of the opposing team looked more unified than ever. The harmony in the team had been restored.


    In the substitution box of the opposing team, ome could clearly see the dissatisfied look on Park Ji-hye''s face. Furrowing his brows while contorting his face, he sat there fuming about the coach''s decision.


    Afterall it wasn''t only him who had acted out of line. There were others who had acted inappropriately as well.
