Chapter 284 Qualifier finals I
Their expression filled with pride and their eyes glowing with determination, cameramen captured all this moment up close without missing any details.
Finally after a while as the song came to an end, at once thunderous sound of applause began to reverberate all around the stadium.
Clap!! Clap!! Clap!!
Clapping their hands, Hiro and his teammates expressed their gratefulness.
After a coin toss, players of both the team began to shake hands with each other before running towards their respective side and positioning themselves in their respective position.
'At least try to conceal your emotions' Hiro thought as he continued to shake hands with the opposing players.
Since the beginning, right from the moment when he had met them today, he had been getting a lot of malevolent glares from the players of opposing team.
They were openly glaring at him like as if he had robbed them of a heavenly treasure.
Although Hiro was used to such glares since oftentimes he offended a lot of people due to his talent, he still couldn't deny the fact that he was kinda annoyed by such gazes.
Getting two or three such gazes was completely normal to him but right now he was getting it from the whole Korean national team except Park Seung-gyu. nove(l)bi(n.)com
Earlier while he was shaking hands with Kim Il-sung, he could even feel the concentrated ominous aura leaking around Kim Il-sung.
But even so, Hiro could do nothing. Since he had already offended them by unintentionally humiliating them before, it was quite natural for him to face their wrath.
Thus Hiro sighed helplessly upon thinking about his present situation, "Sigh!!"
Trying to overpower each other, both the teams battled an invisible battle of strength by exerting their force in the handshake.
In that process, a lot of players from both side suffered as they hurt their hands while trying to overpower each other.
Right now as Hiro diverted his attention from Park Seung-gyu, he found most of his teammates blowing air in their hands. As if it was slammed by hammer, most of their hands seemed quite reddened.
"What happened to them?" Hiro was baffled by their condition.
At first Hiro was a little baffled but it didn't take him long to figure out the reason. Because he himself had experienced it a moment ago while shaking hands with some of the opposing players.
"Seems like they tried to retaliate and competed against them" Hiro muttered to himself while coming to a conclusion.
It's just that Hiro didn't wish to engage in such trivial childish fights. Thus even when opposing players increased their grip, he didn't react at all which caused the opposing players to lose their interest.
But his teammates weren't like him. When the opposing players struck them, they struck them back and replied attack with attack.
However in process, players of both the team suffered quite a lot.
Hiro however escaped unscathed.
Shun and opposing keeper also escaped unscathed as both of them valued their hands. As there's a saying for a keeper the most valuable thing in his entire body is his hand. Thus he must not only treasure it but also nurture it.
After that Hiro gathered his players and reminded them of their tactics which they had worked painstakingly.
"Guys didn't I tell you to keep your cool?" He questioned them after reminding them of their tactics.
Everybody knew what Hiro was talking about. Thus they felt quite ashamed and became tongue-tied upon hearing Hiro's question.
Looking at their embarrassing figure, Hiro could only sigh helplessly and remind them again with a fierce tone, "What has happened has happened. But from now on, nobody would let their emotions drive them. Did you get it?"
