Iwaki: Well then, this will be the formation for the second half.

Iwaki: Matoba-kun and Sakamoto-kun will fall back,
and the forwards will be Takase-kun and Kakeru-kun, a two-top. [K: I've always wondered why Iwaki calls Kakeru by his first name and everyone else except Kouta and maybe Mako by their surname. Favoritism? That should be my rant :P]

#60 Rapid Heartbeat

\

Kakeru: Yes!

\

Takase: Kaoru...

\

Iwaki: Kouta-kun will enter as a defensive midfielder on the left.
Sawamura-kun will go to the right.

\

Sawamura: The opponent's right side is fast. Be careful not to go too far up.

Kouta: Sure thing!

------

(page096)

Iwaki: And Kaiouji-kun, you don't have to mark the one-top Hasegawa-kun tightly anymore.

Kaiouji: Eh? But...

Iwaki: Constantly following him was preventing you from performing your original job.

\

Iwaki: Just follow your judgement on whether to mark him or not.
Iwaki: Otherwise, don't be restricted by Hasegawa-kun's movements.
Look at the big picture and maintain the defence line.

Kaiouji: Yes!

\

Iwaki: However, everyone else must pay attention to Kim-kun's long throw-ins.
If necessary, please follow in and assist the defence.

Team: Yes!

\

Nana:
Well said. This way, Kaiouji-san is freed from the great responsibility of marking the one-top by himself.

Nana: And he can keep an eye on his surroundings.

\

Kurebayashi: Lee-san... It's all yours.

------

(page097)

Lee: Leave it to me. I won't give them another goal.

Kurebayashi: Yeah...

\

\

Takase: When their number 10 goes for a throw-in, I have to go back and defend.

Kakeru: Okay, I'll be fine. In fact, that also gives us a chance to counterattack as well.

\

Matoba: I'll leave it to you two.
Kakeru: Kaoru-kun.

\

Matoba: That first goal was my fault.
Matoba: I messed up the pass and gave them the ball. Then they took the throw-in...

\

Kakeru: That couldn't have been helped.
sfx: clench
Takase: Leave it to us. We'll definitely get the points back!

\

Matoba: Okay.

------

(page098)

Kondou: Don't slack around now. The second half is starting!
Kakeru: Sorry!

\

\

Kondou: Washing your face really refreshed you, Iwaki-kun.

\

Iwaki: I got chewed up by Uryuu.
Kondou: By Uryuu?

\

Iwaki: Yes... I bore most of the burden, again. [K: LAME... AWKWARD... please help. Basically, I need an idiom that says "I took most of the responsibility upon myself again. I was like a sumo wrestler."]

\

Iwaki: Believing it was my responsibility actually came from a lack of trust in my partners. [K: or whatever we ended up using for chapter 59..]

Iwaki: Really woke me up... hahaha.

\

Kondou: Iwaki-kun...

------

(page099)

Iwaki: Because of him, I also thought of...
Iwaki: the "regrets" that high school football left me.

\

\

\

Iwaki: But it's all right now.
Iwaki: There's a lot of time left. Even though we don't currently have a tactic...

\

Iwaki: our magnificent "partners"...
Iwaki: will stand firm.

\

Iwaki: In the mean time I must also think hard...

------

(page100)

Iwaki: Of a "strategy" that can defeat this strong rival...

\

\

Announcer: Well, at last, the second half begins!

Announcer: Whether you like it or not, only 35 minutes remain!

\

Announcer: Because Enoshima's Ace Striker, Hino, was ejected from the game...

\

Announcer: he has been replaced by first-year Aizawa Kakeru,

announcer: a forward who has scored 2 goals so far this season.

------

(page101)

Announcer: On the left flank, Nakatsuka Kouta, also a first-year.
His trademark is his enthusiastic participation in offence.

\

Announcer: And the goalkeeper has also been substituted.
Replacing Kurebayashi after his painful concession of 2 goals...

Announcer: is third-year Lee Akitoshi.

\

Crowd: Go Enoshima!!

Crowd: Turn the game around!

\

Crowd: Get to the Nationals! We're counting on you!

Crowd: You guys are the stars of Tsujidou after all!

Crowd: You're carrying our hopes and dreams! [K: Wow, NO pressure or anything really!]

\

Announcer: The supporters of Tsujidou Academy, with its 2-0 lead, are really making themselves heard!
sfx: OOOHHHHH

Announcer: Don't be disheartened, Enoshima! Unleash a powerful attack!

------

(page102)

Kakeru: We have to attack.
Kakeru: We're already 2 goals behind. We can't keep on defending...

\

Kouta: HEY HEY HEYYYYY!

\

Kouta: GIMME THE BALL!
sfx: DOOOOOM

Tsujidou: Whoa! What the hell!

\

Nana: That's good, Kouta-kun!
That vigour will definitely turn the tide of the game over to us.

\

Iwaki: Yes. The vigour of the people who raised their hand, wanting to play,
Iwaki: despite being 2-0 down. I'm betting it on that.

------

(page103)

Yakumo: But will it be okay? That idiot...
Yakumo: He doesn't think and he's pretty close to the side-line.
If they get another throw-in...

\

Kouta: Hey hey!

\

\

Hasegawa: Yo, will you be all right on the left flank?

\

Hasegawa: If you have a bad marker on the sideline, it'll just be a throw-in again.
And Kim will just throw it to the mouth of the goal eh?

\

Kaiouji: Keep calm, don't worry...

sfx: trashtalk

Kaiouji: I can mark him at any time if need be.
Right now I just have to know where he is.

------

(page104)

KOUTA: GIMME THE BALL!!
sfx: GLARE
Guy: Ugh...

\

Guy: Piss off!
Commentator: The sub Nakatsuka's persistence in sticking to his player...
has caused Tsujidou midfielder Seta to pass back to defensive midfielder Fuwa!

\

Nana: They didn't go for a throw-in and passed to the middle instead?

\

sfx: bump
Commentator: A switch in sides! The ball goes to Shindou on the left!

\

Sawamura: There's a chance that they'll go for a throw-in, but we can't let things stay as they are. [K: I think that's his name... Oh no I forgot the ex captain's name ~_~]
Anyway, from now on once the ball goes to the side, we have to defend from the outside...

------

(page105)

sfx: kick
Sawamura: Ah, crap!

\

Nana: This time they went for a throw-in. Could it be that...

\

Kim: I'll do it!!

\

Araki: This is bad!
Araki: It's happening again!

\

Lee: Kaiouji! I'll take care of the forward!
Lee: Look out for number 2 and 3 overlapping!

Kaiouji: Okay!

\

------

(page106)

Commentator: IT'S OUTTT!
sfx: WHOA
Commentator: NUMBER 10, KIM'S, "LASER BEAM THROW"!! [K: so frickin lame...]

\

sfx: vwhooooosh
Commentator: He's cleared 40 metres with one move!

\

Commentator: At the goalmouth!

\

Hasegawa: OOOHHHHH!!
Hasegawa: I got...

------

(page107)

sfx: slam
Commentator: AAAHH! It's Lee! He's so high up!

\

Commentator: The goalkeeper who's just been subbed on, Lee Akitoshi, has made a magnificent jump and tightly caught the ball!

Hasegawa: Urgh!
sfx: whump

Lee: SHAAARGH!

------

(page108)

Commentator: What a display of physical strength!
He's securely defended against Hasegawa despite the latter's larger stature!

Kurebayashi: He's so... so good.
Iwaki: Nice one, Lee-kun!

\

Lee: UOOORGH!!
sfx: WHAM

\

Commentator: And the lob quickly travels to the other half!

Commentator: Tsujidou's defence is short due to Kim's long throw and the resulting push for offence!
If they can maintain possession, this may finally become a chance for Enoshima!

\

Kakeru: Takase-kun had to return for defence, so he isn't here.
Kakeru: It's my turn to connect up our passes and show them!

\

Hyodou: All right! C'mon, Kakeru!

\

Araki: Give me the ball! I'll do it!

------

(page109)

sfx: dash
Tsujidou: Like I'd let you!

\

sfx: smash

\

\

sfx: fwump

\

Nana: Kakeru!

------

(page110)

Tsujidou: All right!
sfx: thump

Commentator: After an intensive header battle, the ball has returned to Tsujidou Academy's Kim!
Both players who contested the ball did a somersault and hit their heads hard. Are they okay?

Tsujidou: Ow, dammit...

Mako: A... are you okay, Kakeru!

\

Mako: Eh?

\

Commentator: Kim dribbles!
Shindou and Seta are on the flanks. And in the middle is Hasegawa, who's ready to create space!

Commentator: Enoshima is suddenly in trouble!

\

Oda: We won't let you into the penalty box!
Horikawa: It's no use no use no use no use! [K: again, give or take a few. XD]

\

Tsujidou: Kim!

------

(page111)

Kim: Shindou!
sfx Kim: spin
sfx: kick

\

sfx: thwack
Shindou: What!?

\

Commentator: The ball has been intercepted...
Commentator: by Aizawa!

\

Guy: I know the weaknesses in your dribble, you first-year!
sfx: dash

Guy: I got you!

\

------

(page112)

sfx: I'm going to pretend that this is a big "ba-bump"
Certainly looks more like one than a "WHOA" or "WHAM"

------

(page113)

Kim: What?

\

sfx: slash

\

Araki: Wha!?

------

(page114)

sfx: ba-bump

\

Nana: Ka, Kakeru...
