Once the sabbath day was over, they were all finally back in the hotel room for another meeting. They still didn't go for a full training yet, as the morning session was used to discuss the next opponent. It was always important to manage the training time properly in a tournament with a tight schedule like this.
It was the morning of the new day, and everyone had been in the meeting room earlier than usual. Soon enough, Kageyama-sensei also entered the room with the staff. However, the boys could see his face so ashen that they thought someone had just burnt his house or something like that.
"Hey, hey, have you heard it?"
"What?"
"I heard Kageyama-sensei has been scolded mercilessly by someone from Nagoya Grampus and Gamba Osaka. They even threatened not to release any players to the national team again if he is still the team's head coach."
"Damn! That bad? Can they do that, though?"
