"Just a yellow card? Man, Japan sure is getting teased by the referee!"
"I mean, what can you expect from Italy? They have history, you know?"
"Psst! Don't say it out loud! That's not something to be discussed here, okay?!"
The whispers from the audience clearly showed that they also thought that it should be a red card. Moreover, unlike in Japan, where the referee held a high position on the pitch and was respected by everyone, here, the people treated him as an ordinary man. If the referee made a glaring mistake like this, they could be so rude as to bring him down.
Hell, even Higo, who overheard everything from the bench, couldn't help but flinch as he understood what those people said. "Damn, those people sure are nasty with their insults…" He muttered lowly.
"What are they talking about, by the way?" Makino couldn't help but ask. Unlike Higo, he was not that proficient in English, so the boy didn't really understand the conversation around him.
