The players from Italy also realized that Japan was up to something. They tensed a moment, going for the wait-and-see approach. Unfortunately, the wave from Japan was coming so quickly, like the storm that didn't announce its presence.
It all came first when Tagawa received a pass from Miki Yamane from the flank. Even under the pressure of two players, he held his position strongly, not giving up the ball at all. It wasn't until the third one was about to come that the striker noticed a small gap in the left flank, and even with a lot of struggle, the boy still managed to send the ball there.
Thud!
The pass itself was quite short and weak. However, it was aimed at the space in front of Mamoru, and now, without him having to turn around with a complicated move, the boy could just overwhelm his opponent with his pure speed.
"OH! WHAT A PASS, TAGAWA!"
"Come on, Mamoru! It is your time to shine!"
