Team Z vs Team Y (PART 2/ Final)

The ball is in possession of Team Y, with their midfielder Iori Sato, who traverses from their defensive field to the midfield and observes Hyuga Koshiba running down the left side of the field, attempting a pass to enable him to gain ground toward the goal line. However, he is stopped mid-run by Chigiri, who stands in his way, obstructing his path.

"Pass to me!" shouted Hibiki Okawa, positioned at the top of the box. Hyuga Koshiba tries to cross the ball to Okawa, almost thwarted by Chigiri, but Okawa manages to receive it and faces a strong defense from Raichi. He attempts some body feints to deceive Raichi, who remains unfooled. Just as he feels he might lose possession, Niko comes running, demanding the ball.

"Pass, quickly!" Niko yelled. Okawa, realizing he couldn't get past Raichi alone, passes to Niko, who doesn't even attempt to control the ball, shooting it first-time with all his might. However, the shot isn't very strong due to Niko not being a skilled finisher, and the distance to the goal, over thirty meters, makes it easy for Kuon to jump and block the shot, regaining possession for Team Z, and launching the ball for Chigiri to run down the left side of the field.

Chigiri can be seen sprinting down the left flank, surpassing defenders with his incredible speed. "What's with this guy? Why is he so fast?" complained one of the defenders left behind by Chigiri.

Upon reaching the goal line, Chigiri crosses the ball into the penalty area towards Arata, who leaps and performs a Neymar first touch in the air, preparing to finish, but is met with a triple marking from Niko and two other Team Y defenders.

"A triple mark, huh..." Arata thought. He receives the ball, feints right but moves left, tricking Niko and his markers, creating space to pass to Isagi.

"Pass, Arata-kun," Isagi calls out. Arata promptly passes to Isagi, who, consumed by his ego to score, executes a Direct Shot, scoring a beautiful goal for Team Z.

"Nice goal, Isagi," Chigiri praised.

"I knew this play would work... just follow what I plan in training, and we won't lose to anyone!" Arata exclaimed enthusiastically.

"You're the master of tactics," Bachira agreed.

"After they foolishly lose the ball again, we'll do that special move we practiced, Bachira," Arata said. Arata and Bachira walk back to their half, discussing tactics, while Isagi follows behind, lost in thought.

"I managed to execute everything I planned in training... I read the situation from Chigiri's run to Arata's body movements and positioned myself to receive the pass. My Direct Shot was successful... though if it weren't for Arata's incredible dribbling skills to shake off a triple mark, I couldn't have scored. I need to learn those skills from him at some point," Isagi thought, with puzzle pieces emanating from him.

5-0 (Team Z)

With Team Y lacking surprises and all their plays coming from Niko, easily read by Isagi, the ball is passed to Bachira.

"It's time for our Double Team Super Counterattack," Bachira said, looking at Arata, who nods in agreement. Bachira runs towards the opposing field, evading a defender with his stepovers at high speed, passing to Arata, who performs the same stepovers even faster, then passes back to Bachira. This time, Bachira uses a stunning elastico, leaving an opponent on the ground, before passing to Arata, who runs to the ball.

"Are you going to face me alone?" Arata asks with a smile. Arata dribbles with some Ball Rolls, unexpectedly pulls off a Rainbow Trick, leaving Niko stunned, then runs to the goal line and passes to the penalty area where Bachira scores a beautiful goal.

"I knew it! My monster said you'd be someone I could trust to follow my dribbles," Bachira exclaimed.

"That monster seems to know its stuff," Arata replied.

6-0 (Team Z)

This time, Bachira, in his selfish style, dribbles past all the Team Y defenders and passes to Arata in the penalty area, who easily beats the goalkeeper with his shot.

"The easiest goal of my life," Arata commented.

"Hehehe," Bachira chuckled.

7-0 (Team Z)

With seconds left, the ball reaches Arata at midfield, who notices the Team Y goalkeeper positioned too far forward. He shoots with all his might, catching the goalkeeper off guard, unable to recover in time to prevent the goal.

8-0 (Team Z)

Goals scored by: Arata (5), Bachira (1), Isagi (1), Kunigami (1)

In the locker room, Team Z celebrates their victory:

"We did it again, for Buddha's sake!" Igarashi exclaimed.

"Arata, what a goal! Nobody believed you'd actually shoot from that distance," Bachira praised.

"It was more the goalkeeper's fault; I just had to shoot hard and hope it went in the right direction. But everyone played well this game," Arata commented.

"If we keep this up, advancing to the next round won't be a problem," Kunigami said.

After the game, all the players of Team Z went to sleep.
