The break between the second half and the extra time was only five minutes, so instead of going back to the locker room, both teams were allowed to stay there to make sure that the players didn't cool down first. This was the general rule before going to the extra time, so right now, in front of the bench, all the players were standing there, enjoying the cold sensation of their bottle of water while also listening to the coach's words.
"Okay, listen clearly here!" Kageyama-sensei's voice boomed throughout the bench even amidst the noises from the crowd. "With that penalty failure, they will be more afraid to go to the shootout, so they will try to push further into our territory! This is the most crucial time for us, so defense! No slacking off even for a second!"
"Yes, Sensei!" Ito nodded as the defensive line's representative.
The rest of the players nodded as well. Even if they didn't get reminded here, they still knew the difficult task waiting for them in the extra time.
