"Listen, Hiroshi-kun. Later, I need you to drop a little bit deeper to get the ball first. Don't wait in the middle, pick it up from behind."
"Um?" Hiroshi was taken aback slightly when he heard the instruction. "Would that mean the start of our attack will be a few seconds late?" He frowned. The others also looked at Kumiko questioningly.
It was in the middle of the huddle during the half break, and Kumiko laid the ground for the team's offense in the second half. Still, the instruction was quite strange, especially since the team itself needed to chase a goal after this.
"Well, you will not drop back for nothing. In fact, you will switch your position with Usami-kun." Kumiko explained. This time, everyone was surprised, but some of the smarter ones, like Takaaki, caught what the girl wanted to say here.
"You mean, switch Hiroshi to let him initiate the attack, use Usami as a wall, and force Hiroshi to run? Will it work?" The glasses boy asked skeptically.
