skill gap (124)

As soon as kick-off was announced Lavinho went straight to marking Noel Noah who currently had the ball.

"Bring it on Cyborg, you can't take away my freedom" Lavinho said with a grin on his face.

"Freedom…surely you meant waste of space," Noel Noah said as he and Lavinho entered a clash.

Unlike Lavinho, Noel Noah was more robotic like in his thinking and this clash would just waste some time.

Noel Noah started to use his mechanical style of play, Nakada in the background just watched it, he wanted to absorb as much info as possible to make a counter for it in his mind.

What Nakada observed was the fact that Noel Noah's style of play was the epitome of efficiency and precision.

His body seem to move with a mechanical grace, never thought this would be thing mechanical grace just thinking about make him feel a bit weirded out, each step seem to calculated and deliberate.

His dribbling was a well-oiled machine, designed for maximum control and minimal flair creativity whatsoever his style of play was dryer than the Sahara desert.

As he advanced down the field, his movements were almost robotic in nature. No…not almost they seemed robotic in nature no matter how you look at it.

He didn't waste energy on unnecessary tricks or flashy maneuvers.

Instead, he mainly did the most efficient move needed for each situation…..watching was great at first before it started to become a bit boring.

As Noel Noah and Lavinho clashed in the middle of the field Lavinho couldn't stop himself from commenting on Noel's robotic play.

"You truly are a cyborg, you make this game look like an assembly line," he remarked.

Noel Noah responded in his usually dry demeanor "It gets the job done"

Nakada eyes watched their duel as it seem to be absorbing everything that he saw.

This was perfect for him and with a smile on his face, the last thing he needed finally fell into his spot.

He now has analyzed Noel Noah plays and found nearly Zero way to actually beat him in a one vs one and that fact alone made him excited.

Something that will make normal person scared at the possibility of having zero chance to win made him incredibly excited.

Most of the players stay at a confatble distance away from them as this play was out of their world.

They couldn't keep up at this level except for one teenager who rushes in at full speed.

"Why do you want to ruin my fun"Lavinho said upon noticing Nakada rushing toward them, Noel Noah on the other hands using this small distraction to rush past Lavinho.

It was not that he couldn't handle being guarded by those two it was the fact that his play relied on being efficient and choosing the best choice and having those two on him would be a waste of time.

The better option was to get past Lavinho and create an opportunity to score a goal.

"Why you running cyborg..scared" Lavinho said as he rushed after Noel Noah who did not replied and instead passed the ball to Ness.

Ness then passed to Kaiser who was being marked by a few players, Noel Noah then went from juggling to his full speed in a instant.

His off-the-ball movement was just insane, no one could truly keep up with him in this state.

Kaiser had no real choice and passed to Noel Noah.

The world best trapped the ball mechanically but just as he was about to release the ball, Nakada appeared seemingly out of nowhere, standing in the path of Noel's shot.

He had a wide grin on his face as he appeared next to the best striker in the world.

Although younger and less experienced, showed a level of anticipation and understanding of the game that impressed even the world's best.

He seemed to predict Noel's moves, staying a step ahead.

Noel Noah could clearly tell the kid had talent and his skill on the field were great and he acknowledged that.

He said, "You've got some talent, kid. You can read the game well." But then, with his usual cold tone, he added, "But you're not quite on my level yet."

With that, he created just enough space between himself and Nakada, took the shot, and calmly scored a goal, showcasing his efficiency and precision.

He made it look extremely easy to anyone watching,

It was a display of his world-class soccer skill.

Frustration welled up within Nakada as he found himself unable to stop Noel Noah's precise play.

His veins seemed to pulse with the intensity of his emotions.

Just then, Kaiser, sensing Nakada's frustration, decided to be and dick and try to tease him.

Nakada now unable to contain his anger, reacted by completely humiliating Kaiser with a volley of vulgar language, letting his emotions pour out on the pitch.

It was a moment of sheer frustration and anger from Nakada.

Nakada who was seething with frustration, turned to Kaiser before opening his mouth and saying, "You think you're so clever, huh? Well, you're just a puppet, dancing to Noel's strings!"

"The only reason your ass is not still on the street of Germany is because you prey on the weak…once you play against someone on your level or above your fragile as glass Ego start to show….you even need someone to stroke you Ego to make you feel better about yourself"

Kaiser remaining unfazed just smirked before he replied, "Aww, did the little genius lose his cool? Looks like you can't handle the big boys' game."

Nakada, no longer able to control his temper, shot back, "Big boys? You're nothing but a joke, Kaiser. You're not even on my level, let alone Noel's."

That seemed to piss him off.."The only thing you have in your favor is your Kaiser impact.

This frustration caused Nakada eyes to darken beyong what they usually do and his body along with his mind seem to have been submerged under his potential.

His old self slowly returning back as the match continue although some glimpse of it were seen earlier on, they were always gone after a bit.

But now it seemed like it was coming back for good.

A/N sample test of Nakada and Kaiser speaking.

"Dammit! I can't stop this guy!"Nakada said frustrated.

"Having a rough time, Nakada? Can't keep up with the big boys?"Kaiser said as he enjoying teasing Nakada seeing him miserable was the best.

"Shut the hell up, Kaiser! You're just lucky you passed the ball!" Nakada said frustrated.

"Looks like someone's having a tantrum." Kaiser said grinning

"Shut it"Nakada replied codly

"Or what"Kaiser said provokingly.

"I will crush here like the bug you are" Nakada voice said coldly.

"Listen here, you piece of-"Kaiser reply

(He usually wouldn't act like this but he has been embarrassed by this teen twice so I think it's quite normal that he is pissed)

sample two

Nakada who was seething with frustration, turned to Kaiser, who had been mocking him relentlessly throughout the match.

"You think you're so clever, huh?" Nakada retorted, his words dripping with venom.

"You're just a loudmouth clown with no real skill. Keep running your mouth because that's all you're good at! You fucking clown"

Kaiser, taken aback by Nakada's sudden outburst, could only stammer in response.

Nakada had unleashed a torrent of pent-up emotions, and it was clear he wasn't going to accept the taunting any longer.

While should he let a bum do this…Kaiser wasn't worth the effort.

lastly sample three

Nakada body seem to have veins pulsing with frustration due to his anguer, he turned to Kaiser, who had a mocking grin on his face.

"Looks like you're not as invincible as you thought, Nakada." Kaiser said mockingly

Nakada, with his anger boiling over opened his mouth and said "Oh, shut the hell up, Kaiser! You couldn't even touch me if you tried!"

Kaiser, taken who was aback by Nakada's outburst, tried to save face by saying "Well, someone's touchy today."

Nakada, who was no longer holding back his rage opened his mouth and said "You're nothing but a mediocre player with a big mouth, Kaiser. Don't even try to talk to me about skill."
