The dismissal alarm rang and the classes were over for the day. Student were to go and participate in their club activities, those who were in a club though.
The Soccer team had already gone to the field for practice, while Eita had sometings to arrange in the class so he was late. Eita hurriedly went to the dressing room and changed into his PE cloths and went over to the field , he was accompanied by Mei
As they approached the field the squad were already arranged and sitted on the grass waiting for the coach's instruction
"Heyy Eita-kun" Tatsuya waves at Eita who was approaching the field
"Good afternoon"
Eita and Mei bows at the public paying respect.
"Good afternoon, can you introduce yourself" The coach asked, Eita nods in confirmation and turns over to the crowd bowing once more
"My name is Yukiku Eita, please take care of me"
Murmur which later on turned to noise erupts from the squad that was only natural because Eita himself is very popular in this region
'They're small' Eita thought as he looked at their numbers, they numbering around 13
"Welcome to the team Eita-kun" The members of the team said with a happy tone
"Welcome once more Eita-kun" The coach said and turns over to Mei tilting his head in confusion
"And you are"
"Tensuzawa Mei, Eita-kun personal manager and physiotherapist" She said with a proud smirk. No lie for someone of her size and personality she was Tenryu high head coach and her great leadership and tactics experience led them to many victories
"O-Oh, welcome to the team" The coach said. And with a clap the Coach brought the team back to order and Eita took his sit on the grass close to Tatsuya, Tatsuya welcomed him with a smile
"Alright boys lets get to action" The coach said and opens a book of paper.
"Today we shall perform a low training, I'd like use to know our playing style and try to understand and cope with each other.
That being said, we shall jog round the field 5 reps, stretching, and then finally 4 v 4 match with one set on stand by. Shota you are in charge" The coach thus said
"Yes sir" Shota a red haired handsome looking boy said responded and with a loud cheer the team began their training session with jogging
Shota slowed his pace to make Tatsuya and Eita who were at the back reach him and engaged them in a conversation.
"Hey Eita-kun Tatsuya-kun, nice to have you in the team. I'm Hayashi Shota, the Captain of the team I'm in my 3rd year but feel free to be casual there is no need for hierarchy or formalities" He said with a smile
"Hmm." They both nod their heads in confirmation and they continued their workout.
Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
After 5 reps they went over to doing some stretches. After that they made three teams and paired themselves up
Team 1 vs Team 2 while Team 3 on stand by
Team 1 consisted of
.Haruki Tanaka
.Yuto Sato
.Ren Nakamura
.Sora Kobayashi
Team 2 consisted of
.Daichi Ito
.Kaito Suzuki
.Hiroto Yamamoto
.Yukiku Eita
Team 3 consisted of
.Riku Aoki
. Tatsuya Hoshino
.Taiga Inuoe
.Kento Fujita
While Shota being the referee. One third of the field was used for this match, they mounted two mini goal post there was no goal keeper.
"Mei.." Eita stretched his hands towards her then she hands him a rubber band which he used to tie his hair together making a ponytail. Msi used the another one to tie her's. And as if they we possessed their demeanor changed. The dull looking Eita became insanely serious and the cheering happy Mei also became serious.
With the sound of the whistle the game started Team 1 vs Team 2
Ito and Suzuki where at the front, Yamamoto at the middle while Eita at the back he went there on his own free will
Ito carefully passed the ball to Suzuki, Suzuki gave it to Yamamoto and Yamamoto sends it back to Eita the pass was one touch and precise.
Eita looks at the goal post which was heavily guarded by Nakamura and Sato, Tanaka and Koboyashi where tightly man marking Suzuki and Ito leaving Yamamoto free in the middle.
The Tactics wasn't stupid, they priotized the goal post and went for all out defense.
Eita passes the ball to Yamamoto and then throughs him a hand sign signalling him that he needed a forward pass but Yamamoto didn't see the sign and gave him a normal pass to his initial position making slow and retreat back to get ball
Eita was displeased but didn't make the mistake of showing it after all that's the essence of the training.
Eita and thought of another way to get a goal. In other to get something you have to lose another, thats a universal risk that evergbody take, in order to get rich you need to give time, money, and energy into a particular cause. In order to burn fat you need to give out your time and energy into daily workout.
Not wanting to let Suzzuku and Ito free and Yamamoto not understanding his movements Eita plays an avarage shot at the two defenders guarding the goal post, as expected they caught the ball. Sato trapped the ball
"Tsk"
"Damn it"
Suzuki and the rest were immediately angered by Eita's selfish but little did they know that was all part of his plan.
Before Sato could relax and take note of the possible free person he can pass to or should he move by himself, Eita kicks and appears in front of him
The panic made Sato's brain make a premature decision 'Nakamura was beside me now, let me play the ball there I'm sure he will recieve it' He thought
But little did he know that Eita also deduced that event and stretches his left leg deflecting the pass and redirecting the ball to the net.
Goal. 1-0
Team 2 Goal. Goal scorer Eita Yukiku
"What the hell just happened?" Everyone in the field were suprised well except Tatsuya.
"He didn't even need our help to score a goal" Ito said in bewilderment
"We haven't touched the ball since the start of the game"
"Say, Mei-chan what is Eita's playing style?" The coach asked
"He doesn't have one, or should i say 'The best possible way' " She answered
"That's cheap for someone of his caliber"
*pimm
Nakamura kicks off passing the ball to Sato, Sato moved two pace foward making chance for Tanaka and Koboyashi to move foward while Nakamura remaind behind to protect the goal post against any counter threats.
Suzuki blocked Sato while Ito and Yamamoto blocked Tanaka and Koboyashi but Sago found way to make some skillfull flick and passed the ball toTanaka, Tanaka noticed Koboyashi making a run foward regardless of his maker then he makes a skillful one touch forward pass for Koboyashi who has out run his maker facing Eita one on one
*boom
Koboyashi launches a shot which hit Eitas laps and flew up in the air
"What the fuck" Koboyashi was shocked and was still in daze that he didn't notice that Eita has already positioned himself to recieve the landing ball
Eita wanted to play volley shot from thay range and that he did. As the ball was almost coming i contact with the ground Eita wipes the ball with his left leg which send the ball flying with incredible speed hitting the bar and going out from the field of play
"Hey Eita, don't do everything by yourself" Suzuki pats Eita's shoulder
"Hmm Sorry senpai" he replied
"Alright guys lets tighten up" Suzuki commands the team as Team 1 kicks off from their goal post
"Excuse me Suzuki senpai, I've got a plan. The goal i scored made me realise that Sato Senpai is vulnerable to shock and can't make quick seconds decisions..." Tatsuya said
"Oh nice observation Eita, if only we can use that against them..."
"Yes we can"
Tanaka passed the ball to Sato, Sato held the ball for some time allowing the rest to move inside including Tanaka who was supposed to stay beside him, they were going all out.
"Now Senpai'
Suzuki and Yamamoto rushed at Sato putting him in a state of panic once more.
"Huh?? What's with this strategy" Sato plays the ball inside at Nakamura direction.
"It failed"
That was what they thought but Eita proved them wrong. Eita rushed at Nakamura and engaged him in an aerial combat and miraculously wom the ball, Nakamura was taller than him maybe it was because he wasn't prepared to engage in an aerial combat and decided to trap the ball with his leg.
Eita pushed the ball foward with his head to Yamamoto, Yamamoto does a body faint to the left driving Sato away and passed the ball to Suzuki who finished it.
Goal. 2 - 0
Team 2 Goal. Goal scorer Kaito Suzuki
"Nice dribbling Yamamoto" Suzuki high five Yamamoto
"Nice finishing too"
"The goal was all thanks to Eita" Sazuki said
"No senpai, i did nothing at all" Eita chuckles.
And after that match Team 2 vs Team 3 played the second set with each playing a draw of 1 - 1
