Chapter 299 Qualifier finals XVI
Just as Takeshi lost his balance, Kim Il-sung while taking advantage of Takeshi's situation, swiftly sprinted forward with the ball.
His fall was inevitable and Takeshi himself knew that by the time he could regain his balance, Kim Il-sung would probably pull off some distance from him.
Thus in desperation, he stretched his arms out towards Kim Il-sung, trying his best to pull him down along with him to stop him. He was about to commit a strategic foul.
All of a sudden, his desperate eyes glowed faintly with joy as he lightly grabbed the jersey of Kim Il-sung.
However his joy was short-lived as Kim Il-sung forcefully jerked his body and shook Takeshi's hold, causing his hands to slip.
If Takeshi could properly get a hold of Kim Il-sung, he wouldn't have failed miserably like this. However he had only got hold of him lightly and before he could even get a proper grip, Kim Il-sung forcefully jerked his body causing his already loosened grip to slip.
Failing to get a proper grip of Kim Il-sung's jersey, Takeshi fell down miserably on the ground, however the referee didn't put a stop to the game.
He didn't even bat an eye towards Takeshi. Instead he kept his gaze fixated towards the person with the ball and continued to rush forward, following the ball.
After skillfully getting past the reach of Takeshi, Kim Il-sung continued to rush forward with the ball.
Now with one down and few still yet to catch up to him, he had one less problem to worry about. However his problems were far from over. With Akutsu and three more defenders infront of him, although he was getting close to his destination, he was still nowhere near his destination.
If he was like a small candle then those around him who were performing well were like bonfire. He simply couldn't compare against those guys.
Also the fact that he was a defender caused him to get even less attention from the crowd.
However right now for split second it was his moment to shine. If he coud successfully prevent this attack, he was bound to get some recognition from the crowd.
Looking at the figure of Park Seung-gyu sprinting infront of him, his eyes flared with determination as his agile feet launched towards Park Seung-gyu.
At the same time noticing the changes taking place infront of him, Kim Il-sung who was about to come face to face against Akutsu who after noticing the changes taking place behind him explosively rushed towards Kim Il-sung, launched the ball.
Kicking the ball at it's lower part, Kim Il-sung chipped the ball above the head of Akutsu. Mid-way while running Akutsu jumped as high as he could to somehow obstruct the ball that was flying over his head.
Although because of his acceleration, he could higher than normal times, he still couldn't manage to reach the ball.
The ball simply flew over his head, leaving him disappointed. And also because of his acceleration, he couldn't stop immediately as he nearly collided with Kim Il-sung.
Upon seeing the flying ball which was headed towards the box, many heart started to race as their eyes grew extremely anxious.
The worst was about to happen. The thing that they had feared was about to become reality. They were about to lose their lead.
At this moment, all of their hope pointed towards one guy who was desperately trying to salvage their hope.
'Please save it'
