Higo had been waiting for this moment since the beginning of the tournament. Even though the chance was small, the boy still believed it would come to his hand eventually, and he would be able to capitalize on it.
However, once it truly fell on his lap, he didn't feel excited. He didn't feel any enthusiasm. Instead, the boy felt… Disgusted.
Yeah, disgusted by how the team treated him. They didn't even give him a proper minute, just using him as a spare tire for the worst possible situation. If he was put on the pitch right before the shootout, everyone would know that he was there for that moment, and if he failed to perform, he would only be a laughing stock outside.
This was just like a move to protect Zion from having to face the worst, and by doing so, he was the ultimate sacrifice here.
Well, at least, that was what he thought before Kumiko decided to sit his ass down and explain to him, phrase by phrase, why this was important.
