Blue prison monster

As the ball arrived at the position, Hyori Yo and Hisakawa Kenji jumped at the same time.

The two collided in the air, but Hyori Yo managed to get the ball first and land. Hyori Yo barely stabilized himself and was about to pass the ball to Manjō Ryūga when a figure suddenly slid past him from his side, kicking the ball away.

The Y team's right midfielder, who had been waiting for a long time in front, didn't give Hyori Yo a chance to step forward and steal the ball. He lofted a long pass into the penalty area.

Manjō Ryūga didn't think too much about it and sprinted from the spot towards his own penalty area.

Hyori Yo also turned and ran towards his own penalty area, with no discouraged expression on his face. He wouldn't question himself so easily anymore.

Matsutani Eisaku and Itoshi Rin appeared at the ball's landing point at the same time.

The others were either blocking each other or constantly observing where the ball would land, preparing to snatch the ball ahead of the others.

However, the penalty area was now a complete mess.

Manjō Ryūga and his teammates had always used a four-defender formation, so there were already four people near the penalty area.

As a result, the Y team rushed over with six people, and the triplets also successfully returned to defend, causing a total of thirteen people to gather near the V team's penalty area.

Just as the ball was about to land, the chaotic Y team suddenly started to move.

Matsutani Eisaku also jumped up, assuming that Itoshi Rin would also jump up with him, and had already prepared for a physical confrontation with him.

Who would have thought that Itoshi Rin would turn around and run elsewhere? He didn't have time to think because Manjō Ryūga was about to run back.

After landing, Matsutani Eisaku directly passed the ball to his left. Kobayashi Island on the left shot directly!

[Bang!]

"Don't even think about it!"

Putada Yamato, even while being blocked by a Y team player, managed to block the shot with a sliding tackle.

The blocked ball happened to appear at the feet of the Y team's right midfielder, who was about to shoot.

Manjō Ryūga's pupils flashed with purple light as he ran to his side and stretched out his foot to block him.

At this moment, the Y team's right midfielder suddenly changed his shooting posture. His right foot, which was originally kicking forward, changed to striking the ball with the inside of his right foot as it approached the ball, passing the ball to the left.

(Tch, did they see through it again? This guy didn't even turn his head once, yet he knew I was running back.)

(Are these guys cheating? How do they know what's behind them without looking back?)

Manjō Ryūga stopped and looked to the left, while thinking. Matsutani Eisaku on the left kicked the ball forward before it even reached his feet.

"Don't get in the way, we three brothers will definitely defend you today!"

The triplets and three members of the Y team blocked each other, forcibly moving into Matsutani Eisaku's shooting path.

However, to the triplets' surprise, Matsutani Eisaku didn't shoot at all. Matsutani Eisaku's right foot swept over the top of the ball.

Then, he retracted his right foot and used his right heel to flick the ball, passing it to the Y team's left midfielder behind him to the right.

The Y team's left midfielder didn't hesitate to kick the ball again to Kobayashi Island on the right side of the V team's backfield.

Originally, Kobayashi Island wanted to stop the ball with his chest, but Manjō Ryūga had already reached his side and forcibly jumped over.

He had no choice but to grit his teeth and jump, but in the end, Manjō Ryūga headed the ball.

However, Manjō Ryūga wasn't very good at heading, causing the ball to fall into the penalty area.

Fortunately, the ball landed right where two Y team players and two V team players were.

As soon as the ball landed, the four rushed forward to fight for it, and within seconds, the ball was kicked to the left side of the V team's penalty area.

Matsutani Eisaku had already appeared in that position and made a shooting motion as soon as the ball reached him.

"You block the top, I'll block the bottom."

Hyori Yo instructed the V team's goalkeeper and took the lead in blocking Matsutani Eisaku.

[Bang!]

Hyori Yo and the V team's goalkeeper were stunned. They didn't expect it to be a fake shot again!

That's right, the sound of kicking the soccer ball wasn't a shot but a pass!

Because a figure suddenly appeared behind him, and the next second, the ball that was still at his feet was snatched away by that figure.

That's right, this person was none other than Itoshi Rin, who had quietly returned to the penalty area from the beginning!

The Y team was now stunned in place, and they all had only one thought in their minds.

In such tense, high-speed passing, each of them could have shot directly, but Itoshi Rin had guessed the final shooter.

Everyone's face was now very ugly, because there was only one possibility for causing this situation.

That was that they had been seen through, and there was no doubt that Itoshi Rin would break this tactic again!

Manjō Ryūga was also stunned as he looked at Itoshi Rin's back.

(To be able to predict the trajectory of the ball in such high-speed passing, and not be deceived by the previous few fake shots)

(And to have returned to the penalty area from the beginning, waiting for the opponent to use their tactics)

(So, this guy... succeeded?)

"Block him! Foul if you have to, you must stall until the others return to defend."

Hisakawa Kenji and Matsutani Eisaku said in unison.

Although Kobayashi Island didn't shout, it could be seen from his hasty turn that he almost fell, that he was no less calm than Hisakawa Kenji and Matsutani Eisaku.

The Y team's left midfielder took the lead in running behind Itoshi Rin, desperately trying to grab him to buy time for his teammates to return to defend.

However, Itoshi Rin, when the Y team's left midfielder's hand was about to touch him, calmly dribbled the ball with the inside of his right foot and turned around.

He dribbled past the Y team's left midfielder from behind and charged towards the middle of the Y team's frontcourt.

The Y team's left midfielder was somewhat useful, at least he made Itoshi Rin change his direction.

He stalled until the Y team's left midfielder and right midfielder returned to their own frontcourt positions, and the two of them blocked Itoshi Rin together.

But unfortunately, the Y team, which had been analyzed by Itoshi Rin, was now like they weren't wearing clothes, and could be seen clearly!

The two Y team players were simply knocked to the ground by Itoshi Rin's simple change of direction, and then Itoshi Rin continued to charge towards the Y team's infield.

At this time, Hisakawa Kenji desperately ran back and slid to tackle Itoshi Rin, who was dribbling towards his own midfield.

"Too obvious."

Itoshi Rin's tone seemed a little impatient. He stopped the ball directly with his right foot and then used the Marseille turn skill.

After dribbling the ball again, he turned around and passed Hisakawa Kenji, who had fallen to the ground from the sliding tackle.

Just as Itoshi Rin rushed into the Y team's midfield, he encountered Kobayashi Island, Matsutani Eisaku, and the Y team's right midfielder, who had barely returned to defend.

Itoshi Rin's eyes lit up with green light, and his two feet constantly touched the ball, making it impossible for the three opponents to know what kind of dribbling move Itoshi Rin would make.

While the three were still thinking, Itoshi Rin suddenly rushed to the left, and Matsutani Eisaku on the left quickly blocked Itoshi Rin.

In Kobayashi Island's eyes, just as Matsutani Eisaku blocked to the left, Itoshi Rin immediately changed his dribbling posture.

(He wants to take advantage of Matsutani Eisaku blocking in that direction to use a nutmeg!)

(I've guessed you, Itoshi Rin!)

While Kobayashi Island was thinking this, he blocked towards Matsutani Eisaku's crotch.

But things didn't develop as Kobayashi Island imagined. Itoshi Rin did change his striking posture.

It was just that he kicked the ball to his left foot! When the ball reached his left foot, Itoshi Rin directly kicked his foot and kicked the ball to the Y team's right midfielder, who was also blocking to the left.

The ball quickly passed through the Y team's right midfielder's crotch, and Itoshi Rin also passed the Y team's right midfielder at a pace slower than the ball.

He charged towards the Y team's backfield!
