Ultimate Showdown IX

With every passing seconds Tatsuki was growing even more restless.

Even though he had an another option which was to try to dribble the ball past the opposing defenders, he wasn't confident enough right now.

Just then while slowly moving the ball upfield, at the periphery of his vision, he noticed Takeshi making his run in the right flank.

Although Kosuke Shinzawa was tailing him, passing the ball to Takeshi seemed the safest option right now.

However just as he thought of passing the ball, he hesitated. His pride didn't allow him to run from the challenge infront of him.

The defenders who were infront of him were clearly taunting him to try and dribble the ball past them.

Although he couldn't hear the words they were whispering, he could clearly see their gesture telling him to beat them if he had the guts.

Seeing their eyes filled with mockery, how could he run away?
