"Head or tail?"
"Head."
"Then I'll pick the tail."
It was just a few minutes before the game began, and right now, the referee had already gathered the two captains from both teams to do the coin toss. Here, Ito stood in front of Ukraine's goalkeeper, Andrey Lunin, who was about 10 cm taller than him, and the boy was unfazed at all.
Still, inwardly, he couldn't help but sigh right now. 'Yeah, the height difference is ridiculous. Going from the flank would be a disaster.'
Soon enough, the referee finally threw the coin, letting it fall on the back of his palm. He didn't wait for too long, showing it to both boys in front of him.
Head.
"So, I'll go first, right?" Andrey Lunin asked with his thick accent. After getting the nod of confirmation from the referee, he didn't forget to shake hands with Ito first. "Let's have a good game."
"Yes, let's have a good game." Ito nodded firmly, accepting the handshake without showing any weakness.
