Hiroshi also noticed this. No, it wasn't like he noticed, but the boy crafted the situation so carefully to give Yuji room to run. While holding the ball carefully to avoid it getting poked by the left back behind him, the boy glanced with his peripheral vision, noticing that Yuji had already stepped back a little.
'He has already escaped from the offside trap? Well, come on, Yuji! Start running!'
Thud!
It was a cheeky backheel pass without looking at the target. The left back was caught off guard, and not just him, even Ritsu Onishi was also the same. However, the latter was more panicked, especially since he saw someone blitzing right in front of his eyes.
"SHIT! I CANNOT STOP IT!"
"KEEPER! MOVE!"
Ritsu Onishi scowled as he tried to grab Yuji's jersey instinctively. However, his rational mind took over as he withdrew his hand, not wanting to get a red card. As a result, though, Yuji truly left him one step ahead, and now, the boy was going to face the goalkeeper directly.
