Naoto stared at him with widened eyes, "Don't tell me that he's serious about what he said earlier?"
Previously when Hiro said that he'd score five goals, he had merely assumed it was a self-motivating speech. But right now, when he was approaching the aforementioned figure, he couldn't help but feel shocked about it.
Just then an announcement resounded in the stadium.
It was the announcement for player change.
On the sidelines, three players of Japan queued, preparing to embark. Each looked like they were eager to get on the field.
"Just when you think that it will get easier now that many core players are gone, Japan could easily bring out other sets of superstars on the field"
Well, Kaoru Mitoma had already earned a name for himself in the premier league and was one of the recognized Asian players on a global scale.
So, to be able to bring out players of such caliber from the bench was something to envy.
