37 Team X vs Team Z

"Kickoff!!" As soon as everyone got ready and stood in their positions, a loud mechanical voice echoed through the stadium followed up by the sound of an artificial whistle.

The ball was in team Z's possession, a blonde haired boy passed the ball back to his teammate as every player in both teams started rushing forward.

The player who received the ball was about to start running on his own and rush towards the chaos which was starting to form in the middle of the field but before any of that could happen the ball was swiftly stolen from his feet.

"I'll be borrowing this for a bit." Yukimiya said as he stole the ball from his own teammate and started running towards the side of the field. He sprinted straight to the boundary lines of the field before starting to run alongside it.

Every player from team X began rushing towards him mindlessly as the middle of the pitch became more and more open. Many of Team Z's players took that opportunity to rush to all the new open spaces created by Yukimiya's sudden outburst.

"Form a line and make sure to come at me one by one." Yukimiya said with a smile as he watched Sugiyama come for him, as soon as he saw him get into his range, he pushed the ball to the right with the outside of his left foot as Sugiyama followed his dribble and tried to tackle him.

Before Sugiyama could even put his leg on the ball, Yukimiya dragged the ball back with the sole of his foot at an extremely fast speed before switching the ball to his left foot and sprinting ahead.

He used his fast pace and acceleration to make use of the shift in Sugiyama's center of gravity and easily got past him. He kept running at the same high pace while ignoring all of his open teammates and easily getting past 2 of Team X's mid fielders.

He dribbled past every player after creating a one on one situation and winning all of his duels and soon enough he found himself blocked by 2 different defenders, he got close enough to the penalty box so instead of trying to dribble past them he slowed down before shifting his center of gravity and shooting the ball in between the two defenders.

Everyone could see the ball rising high up in the air before dropping inside the cages at an extremely fast speed. 'So that's the famous gyro shot.' Jude thought to himself after he watched the whole chaos unfold from behind.

"You fucking bastard! What exactly are you trying to do here?" One of Team X's defenders grabbed Jude by his collar before pushing him against the goalpost.

"Huh? Did you suddenly go crazy?" Jude grabbed his arm with an annoyed look on his face before pushing away as more players started getting in between them.

"I've seen you just lazing around while observing everything that was happening! You didn't even try to stop that shot, you clearly let it in on purpose! Didn't you agree to be the goalkeeper? Why you are you going back on your words!?" The young defender called Yanagi yelled out as two other players grabbed him by his sides to stop him.

"Are you stupid? Did you forget what Ego told us? We're supposed to forget everything we knew and start from 0, this team is made up of eleven strikers so why would you worry so much about them scoring against us? If with eleven strikers you can't even score back then you're better off giving me your position." Jude said as he sat down against the goalpost.

"Team X get back to the game." Ego's voice echoed through the speakers as everyone reluctantly went back to their positions. "Give it back to me and I'll make sure to score!" Akira's eyes shined as he yelled out and passed the ball back to Ichikawa who instead ignored him and passed the ball to his little brother who was on the other wing.

They both abandoned their posts as they rushed towards the opposite team in a completely synchronized manner. They perfectly linked up their plays as they easily got past their midfield who was taken by surprise by the siblings who soon enough reached the last line of defense.

"Give it to me!" Akira yelled out as he freed himself from the defender guarding him, thanks to the siblings taking care of everyone's attention Akira found himself completely free of any player but instead of passing him the ball the siblings kept advancing together.

"Always passing the ball to the same person makes it quite predictable." Yukimiya said as he intercepted the ball before making a U-turn and running to the other side of the pitch.

In the blink of an eye, he had already ran through half of the field on his own, even his own teammates who tried stealing the ball from him ended up being blown away.

He easily dribbled past every single player on his own before once again shooting the ball from extremely far away. This time the ball didn't have as much power when it reached the cage but it nonetheless easily went in as Jude didn't move at all and didn't make any effort to stop the ball from going on.

"2-0" the score on the big screen at the top of the stadium showed the current score in the 29th minute of the game. Team X's mood was at an all time low as everyone slowly walked back to their side of the field.

"Pass it to me this time." Akira said in an annoyed tone as he handed the ball to the two siblings but instead of listening to him they once again rushed on their own.

Their timing and coordination were close to perfect, they both knew each other extremely well and could practically read each other's minds but unfortunately, their personal abilities were lacking, once one of the siblings was tightly guarded the other would soon enough lose the ball.

Team Z once again got a hold of the ball and took control of the game with Yukimiya being the major actor in their offense, their team slowly started to stabilize and build up around him after seeing the extent of his abilities.

Soon enough he reached one of the midfielders and dragged the ball to his left before stepping around it to confuse him and pushing the ball forward at an extremely high speed. Yukimiya took advantage of the small shift in the opposite player's balance in order to get past him.

"Where the fuck did you come from?" What he didn't expect was that as soon as he pushed the ball forward, a tall and muscular guy wearing goalkeeper's gloves appeared in from behind the midfielder and stole the ball.

"I was starting to get a little bored back there, and since my guys can't seem to do their job properly I'll need to lead the way." Jude said as he trapped the ball under his foot.
