FWEEE!
"Yes! Come on!"
The moment the referee blew the whistle, Kuroki and Hiroshi rushed forward immediately, trying to put pressure on the opponent's defenders. Not just them, but the entire unit also shifted slightly, with Makino even almost crossing the half-line pitch.
This was a high-line defensive tactic, a double-edged sword that could kill the opponent as well as themselves here. It was definitely the first time Kumiko used this tactic, but she was confident enough to get this right in one go.
'This is not just an aimless pressure.' She thought inwardly, her eyes locking on the pitch. 'We are subtly opening a path for them to pass on that left back, and once the ball goes there…'
Brugh!
