Soon, the inevitable came. Hiro was gently pulled aside for an interview, the camera lights shining brightly on his face. The journalist smiled, though Hiro could already tell that her questions would probe deeper than simple match reflections.
"You scored 27 goals this season, and despite your injury, you've taken home the top scorer award. How does it feel to know that you've left such a massive impact?"
Hiro was relieved. At least, it wasn't anything related to his personal life. So, he felt glad at the reporter's decision to uphold his professionalism.
Hiro took a deep breath, keeping his tone measured. "It feels great. It's always an honor to contribute to the team's success, and I'm grateful to have played a part in securing the title."
Hiro answered with utmost modesty. He could have hogged the spotlight all alone. But he decided to share the credit with the rest of his teammates.
