'Damn, he is finally in!' Kumiko cursed inwardly when she saw Sappotani's player with the jersey number 32 stepping onto the pitch. 'And with only five minutes left, nonetheless! Hiroshi-kun's stamina will not be able to handle him! This is bad!'
The boy was Hiroyuki, the defensive specialist that Kumiko scouted in the past for being able to lock down Iwai from Ritsumeikan High for a full 90 minutes in their sparing game. Now that he had come in, Kumiko didn't even need to second-guess here, as she knew that the main purpose was to stop Hiroshi.
'They are willing to go for a 10v9, believing that we couldn't do anything without Hiroshi-kun, huh?' She bit her lips nervously.
The girl wasn't the only one who reacted this big. No, all the Hakodate Nishi players also felt the same way. They looked at each other hesitantly before Makino's gaze fell on Kumiko, waiting for an instruction here.
