Chapter 297 Qualifier finals XIV
In the meantime while the players were getting schooled by their coaches, a buzz of anticipation and excitement was growing in the stands.
From different parts of the stand, people excitedly talking about their favourite moment of the game could be heard.
"That freekick was truly extraordinary" a young fan enveloped in the colours of Korean national team expressed his feeling with great admiration towards the scorer.
"Indeed that freekick was truly marvellous. I literally had goosebumps while watching the ball getting past the reach of their keeper" another young fan who was seated right beside him nodded his head as he agreed with the statement of the previous fan.
Another fan who was seated alongside them however frowned his brows and made a concerned remark, "But can we... win against them though? They seemed really.... tough"
As he spoke such, all of a sudden the smiles on the faces of those two previous fans froze as they frowned. However they immediately dispelled the negative feelings and once again lifted the corner of their lips before speaking in an energetic tone, "What are you so afraid of? Obviously we're gonna win"
And finally after 10 minutes break, players of both the team started entering the field once again via the tunnel.
Upon seeing the players entering the field, the crowd went wild with excitement as they broke into loud cheers.
Those loud penetrating cheers tore through the air as it resounded all over the field, uplifting the mood of the entire stadium inturn making the stadium extremely lively.
However unlike the scene in the first half, right now players of both the team seemed rather calm and composed. Unaffected by the cheers resounding in the stadium, they strode towards the pitch with determination burning in their eyes.
Sure enough something had changed. And even people present in the stand could sense the change.
Thus while looking at the figures of the players walking towards the pitch, they felt even more exhilarated as their eyes grew impatient with anticipation.
While sweeping his gaze through the opposing team, his gaze crashed against Park Seung-gyu's as he turned to look at him.
Just like him, he had also been spying on the opposing team. And since he couldn't find Hiro, he had been awaiting for him.
Locking eyes with each other, those two stared at each other without any sort of expression on their faces.
However although it seemed completely normal from the outside, right now sparks could be seen flying because of the collision of their gazes if looked closely.
'So what kind of strategy have you come up with?' shooting his gaze towards Hiro, Park Seung-gyu thought.
'Still not showing any emotions huh?' Hiro thought while staring at Park Seung-gyu.
Those two continued to stare at each other for a while before taking their eyes off each other at the same time.
While making his way towards his position, Hiro turned to look at his teammates, "You all remember right?"
Upon hearing his question, everybody determinedly nodded their head.
Not only both the teams had improvised their strategies, both of the team had used some of their substitution card as well.
Honda was replaced by Kaminari Denji at the same time after causing that ruckus in the locker room, Park Ji-hye was taken out to set an example for the players in the team.
And that exemplary methods effectiveness could clearly bee seen on the field as the players of the opposing team looked more unified than ever. The harmony in the team had been restored.
In the substitution box of the opposing team, ome could clearly see the dissatisfied look on Park Ji-hye's face. Furrowing his brows while contorting his face, he sat there fuming about the coach's decision.
Afterall it wasn't only him who had acted out of line. There were others who had acted inappropriately as well.
