"No, Sensei! No! Zion didn't touch him at all!"
"Come on! The touch is light! You said the same to Mamoru earlier, right? Don't side with South Korea, that's not fair!"
More Japan players came toward the referee quickly, all wanting to complain over the decision. Hell, some were pretty heated, having thick veins popping on their neck. Their frustration was visible here for anyone in the stadium.
This was understandable, since it was quite frustrating to get punished like this just five minutes away from the end of the normal time. However, their complaint seemed to lose all its power since Zion himself, the culprit of the incident, just froze on the spot with his face pale. It was like admitting that he was guilty here, ready to be punished.
Kageyama-sensei also saw the boy's state, and he couldn't help but frown. In this situation, getting shaken up like how Zion was right now would be bad for the team. They wouldn't have a chance to flip the table here.
