I am practicing in Tokyo

Chapter 54 Blockade

Captain?

Fujii looked down and saw the sleeves with a completely different color from the jersey. Originally, the captain was dismissed and his replacement was supposed to be vice-captain Nagahama, but now it was given to him directly.

The referee called the game again. In the midfielder position, Fujii received a pass from his own defender. Instead of rushing directly into the enemy's backcourt like before, he made a long pass to find Shogo Fukuda who was squatting in front of the goal.

A super long pass of nearly 35 meters, spanning half the court.

Shogo Fukuda caught the ball with his chest, turned around, and missed the defender who was marking him. However, his kick was a little hasty and the ball hit the post and was confiscated by the Otsu High School goalkeeper.

"What a pity! A wonderful opportunity was wasted."

Matsuki Antaro sighed and shook his head. Now Shogo Fukuda was receiving more defense near the penalty area. There would no longer be such a good opportunity for him to receive a long pass and steal a ball.

Otsu High School started a tug of war with Hachioji High School in the midfield. Their No. 10 midfielder Makino Shitaka was very skilled, roughly on the same level as Fukuda Shogo, and his body was much better than the captain Nakamura who was off the field. He created several extremely imaginative and...

The creative pass almost broke through Hachioji High School's defense, which was not outstanding.

Fujii stopped winger Toru Honda who was attacking with the ball again. He temporarily switched from an attacking midfielder to a defensive midfielder. He adjusted himself for a period of time during the defensive phase. Only now did he realize how to play this position.

This guy also wants to guard me? Dreaming!

Toru Honda broke through Fujii Tree once, thinking that the opponent did not have the ability to threaten him, so he couldn't help but look down on this pretty boy.

The football was moving under his feet. Toru Honda used a skillful Marseille slalom. The moment he turned around to touch the ball, the ball was cut off by one foot. He was stunned and heard the strong wind blowing in his ears. Fujii Shu, who was defending him, stole the ball.

The football took a few steps and lobbed a long pass to the area near Suhara in the frontcourt.

Well come!

Suhara bounced the football with the arch of his foot, swung his leg and shot a long shot from the side. Otsu High School's goalkeeper counterattacked, and the football flew through the sky and into the net.

"Good goal! No. 9 center Tatsuya Suhara received a long pass from Fujii and seized the opportunity. The score was 2-1 and Hachioji High School took the lead."

Matsuki Antaro shouted excitedly. Suhara's sideways volley was the result of Fujii's training for more than three months. The posture and strength were adjusted impeccably, and it was particularly beautiful to watch.

"Hahaha, I'll cum!"

Suhara ran to the sidelines, jumped up in front of the Otsu High School supporters' stands, spun half a circle in mid-air, and left his back to the opponents' stands.

"siuuuuuuu!"

His arrogant look was somewhat similar to the one he imitated from Cristiano Ronaldo. He pointed at the number on his back, allowing the television camera to capture this scene perfectly.

The supporters of Otsu High School booed one after another. Although the neutral fans accounted for the majority, Suhara was so stubborn that he went to the family group of his high school and made such an irritating move. It would be strange if he could not be booed.

"Continue to attack and suppress them!"

Coach Maruyama stood up for the first time on the sidelines and issued firm orders to his disciples who were somewhat shocked.

"Everyone together! Let's attack!"

Otsu High School's Makino Shitaka encouraged his teammates around him, and Toru Motoyama looked at each other, nodded to each other, and saw each other's fighting spirit.

With five minutes left in the first half, Otsu High School made a comeback. As the time was approaching the end of the half, all their players except the goalkeeper were involved in the attack this time.

After a few quick short passes, the ball landed at the feet of Makino Shitaka. He kicked the ball to the right without raising his head. I believe Honda Toru will be there waiting for his pass, and I also believe that Motoyama Toru can use his own skills.

With his personal ability, he scored this crucial goal.

Fujii blocked in front of Toru Honda, the player who threatened the opponent the most. As a core midfielder, of course he had to keep an eye on him. Makino Shitaka's catching movement was very fast. He didn't find a chance to steal, although he could use his body to force it.

, but that’s too boring.

Don't worry, let's play with you.

Fujii did not face Toru Honda directly. Good defensive players will not face the offensive player holding the ball directly. Instead, like him now, he tilted his position and blocked the opponent with his body to prevent him from breaking through from the side.

Towards the center, it is best to rush all the way to the sideline and force the ball out of bounds.

Opening his arms and lowering his center of gravity, LV5's comprehensive skills in the early stage include every position on the court. He decided to use the defensive method of Gattuso, the butcher of the court, to teach this kid a good lesson.

Toru Honda was intercepted once by Fujii Shu, and he was a little worried. If he lost the ball again, Otsu High School would probably be counterattacked and concede another goal when the whole court was pressed.

The football was swinging back and forth under his feet, but the center of gravity of Fujii's body on the opposite side remained very stable. It seemed that he could not be shaken away by changing direction and rhythm.

Toru Honda changed his move and lifted the football into the air. There is no way you can prevent him from passing through the rainbow!

The flying football was just about to land when Fujii jumped and headed the ball to the nearby Nakaharu Arimura, a central defender who participated in the school team selection at the same time as him. He was tall and flexible, except for his poor basic skills.

, completely an enhanced version of Nagahama-senpai.

Toru Honda was paralyzed. As soon as his body started to activate, Fujii found the spot where the football would land after the rainbow passed by, and he took off early to steal the ball. This was a big mistake.

How come your kid can play in any position?

He rushed back to his own backcourt to participate in the defense, and stared at the Fujii tree who was running parallel. Arimura Nakaji brought the ball to the midfield and passed it directly to Fukuda Shogo. Lightning flashed across the green field, and Fukuda Shogo

After receiving the ball, he rushed to the empty backcourt of Otsu High School at a sprinting speed, faced the goalkeeper alone, and shot into the far corner, extending the score to 3-1 without any suspense.

"The three star players of Hachioji High School each scored a goal in the first half, but they are all related to their core Fujii Shu. He is simply the metronome on the court, firmly controlling the rhythm of the game, and he also does a good job in defense.

Very good, perfectly restrained Toru Motoyama who scored a goal in the opening game, really amazing!"

Sergio showed his presence in the live broadcast room. He is now also a fan of Fujii Shu. The position of the number one fan, Matsuki Antaro, is very stable. He will occupy the second position first.

"One goal, one assist, and a counterattack after a key steal. No amount of praise is redundant. Now I just want to fast forward to the finals and let the organizers of the event send the trophy to Hachioji High School in advance. This year, it is destined to be us

Tokyo’s Hachioji High School wins!”

Matsuki Yasutaro is worthy of being the number one tout. He has just commented on Fujii's two games. He stopped talking and booked the championship trophy with full confidence.

"Ahem! The first half of the game is over. Now it's time to enter the intermission. I hope Otsu High School can find a way to make up for it in this short period of time. Otherwise, it will stop in the second round."

Sergio still wants to save face, and cannot make blind boasts or change the subject.
