Crushing Team W

Now the ball was with Keisuke Wanima who controlled it as he tried to advance through the midfield of Team Z but received Raichi's marking.

"I can't stand this guy, who does he think he is?... Hey, you idiot, in the end, you're not that good, if I just put in a little more effort, I can get past you," he said, making some feints and pulling the ball to the left, causing Raichi to try to follow him, then quickly pulling the ball to the right. As he was about to go that way, having surpassed Raichi, he noticed Igaguri coming from that side for a double mark on him, likely to lose the ball.

"What do I do if I try to pass to my brother? That guy will probably intercept the play," Keisuke thought quickly, deciding to pass to Noboru Jigen who was running down the left-wing of the field. After receiving the ball, he kept running towards the goal line but was marked by Isagi who didn't give him a chance to get past.

"Pass it back to me!" shouted Keisuke, hoping for a quick exchange with his teammate, who indeed passed the ball rapidly, just out of Isagi's reach, reaching Keisuke a bit before the penalty area, and he immediately made contact with Junichi who was running towards the penalty area from the right wing.

"Without that idiot, there's no one who can keep up with our teamwork, it's a guaranteed goal here," he said before preparing to pass the ball, but that's not what happened, as Arata appeared beside him to intercept the play and regain possession for the team.

"Did you really think Isagi was the only one who could read your plays? HAHA, you and your brother don't have what it takes to beat me, so just give me the ball and watch what it means to be a good player."

Arata stole the ball and was advancing towards Team W's defense through the left-wing, surpassing his first defender using his speed until he reached the goal line, noticing two defenders coming towards him. He performed a rainbow flick to get past the first marker, who even tried to grab Arata's shoulder after being overtaken, but to no avail. Even off-balance, he managed to nutmeg the defender next and was now cutting the ball towards the Penalty Arc trying to find some space to shoot. Just as Arata was sure he'd shoot the ball into the opponent's goal angle, he felt a touch on his ankle and fell. It was Junichi, who had been chasing Arata since he stole the ball and said those words to him, leaving him extremely irritated.

The free-kick was positioned slightly left of the penalty Arc, and Arata was preparing to take it, waiting for the referee's whistle.

"This one's for you," Arata pointed at Junichi who had fouled him, then, Arata put his hands on his waist and slowly ran up to the ball, emulating Cristiano Ronaldo's shot, curving beautifully into the top corner of Team W's goal, leaving the goalkeeper with no chance.

Arata started to run to gather momentum then jumped and shouted, "SIUUUU," while doing Cristiano Ronaldo's classic celebration.

4-0 (Team Z)

After the goal, Team W attempted their play again, passing to one of their wingers and one of the Wanima brothers attempting a one-two, but what happened differently was that the final result of the play wasn't a pass seeking the other brother but a long shot from outside the box that ended up at Gugamaru, who launched the ball to Bachira. Bachira, once again activating his selfish style, dribbled past the entire Team W until reaching the goal line and passed a low cross to the penalty area for Arata who, as he watched the ball coming towards him, had an idea.

"Show these Assholes who Hyoma Chigiri is," said Arata, and as soon as he received the ball, he backheeled it to Chigiri who was entering the penalty area from the other wing with determination and shot the ball into the left corner of the goal, which the goalkeeper couldn't stop.

5-0 (Team Z)

"Let's go, good job Chigiri," said Bachira as he jumped on Chigiri's back.

"Damn, how did we concede a goal to that jerk, it's all your fault," shouted Junichi Wanima.

"My fault? Are you crazy?" Keisuke retorted.

"All of our chances to score were messed up by you, you're useless."

"Screw you, then why don't you try by yourself if you're so good."

"That's exactly what I'm going to do," said Junichi after the game restarted. He took the ball and tried to advance alone towards Team Z's defense, but he was soon stopped by Bachira who tackled him and easily regained possession of the ball.

"Hey, But hadn't you received a yellow card?" Junichi shouted.

"So what? It doesn't matter if I didn't even commit a foul," said Bachira, laughing as he ran with the ball and then passed it to Arata.

Arata received the ball and thought about making a solo play to seal his hat-trick, but he noticed Isagi asking for the ball, planning to move towards the penalty area. The most obvious decision for a forward would be to think, "Screw your teammate, just score," but Arata decided to pass to Isagi to tease Ego a bit.

After receiving the ball inside the penalty area, Isagi prepared and shot with his "Direct Shot" to score another goal for Team Z and seal their victory, as there was less than a minute left in the game.

And the game ended 6-0 for Team Z with the goals scored by Arata (2x), Kunigami, Bachira, Chigiri, and Isagi.
