Referee: Goal Disallowed! Keeper Charge. No.9, Yellow.

Sho: Keeper...

[sFX: I couldn't get us to tie]

Sho: ...Charge...

Musashinomori Player: No surprise there.

[sFX: Heh heh]

Musashinomori Player: Charging ahead like that was crazy. Man, he thinks he's great just becasue he scored once.

[sFX: Heh]

Ko: Sho got yellow...why?

Souju: It's a goal keeper charge.

Souju: The goalie must've caught the ball first. The referee determined that Sho executed a dangerous kick when the catching was already in progress.

Sho: Unnhh Unhhh

Sho: Unhhh

[sFX:Wh-when I kicked..I, Unhh, twisted my ankle.]

[sFX: C-can't let the other team know...]

[sFX: N-not even my own side.]

[sFX: We don't have any sub-stitute players.]

[sFX:I... I gotta play 'til the very end!]

Ko[Thought]: Do your best Sho.

Souju: It isn't god that they didn't tie just now.

Ko: How come?

Souju: Josui doesn't have much time.

Ko: Huh?

Souju: Well, look at the way the players of both schools move.

--Page 8--

[sFX: Yaaayyyy]

[sFX: Raahhhhh]

[sFX: Slapp]

[sFX: Boom]

Announcer: Incredible!

[sFX: Yayayyyy]

Announcer: Josui got the ball again!

Crowd member 1: What happened to them? They're not playing like the team that los the second match every year.

Crowd member 2: Yeah. They're both acting like the reigning team.

Souju: They look like they're pressuring the other team becasue they attack together on the offensive, and defend together on the defensive... including the FW's.

Souju: Becasue they're at an advantage in terms of number at every facet, they match evenly against Musashinomori.

--Page 9--

Souju: Musashinomori uses only two or three players to attack... ...and when they defend , they leave two or three players up front.

Souju: So, compared with Josui, they don't have to move as far and wide, so they're not wasting as much energy.

Ko: So, all Musashinomori has to do is to wait until Josui loses their Stamina.

Ko: !

Ko: So why didn't you warn them?

Ko: Hey, wait... you're the one who told them to play like that.

Ko: What were you thinking? Aren't you rooting for them!

Souju: I am!

Souju: That's why I want to see if they can break free of their own shell.
