The others might not think of it seriously, but Makino was so familiar with this kind of play. The ball was moved back from the center spot as quickly as possible, followed by five or six players swarming the opponent's territory like lightning.
This was the exact Blitzkrieg scheme that led Hakodate Nishi to the national tournament last winter, one that made every team they faced tremble in fear. However, this time, Ukraine did the more extreme version of it.
If Hakodate Nishi initiated the attack from Takaaki, their metronome in the midfield, Ukraine pulled this attack from the very back of their territory, with Andrey Lunin initiating the attack. This allowed all the strikers and midfielders to rush forward, with two full backs even having time to support from behind.
BAM!
