Honestly, Hoppe couldn't say that he was in the best position to head the ball.
No, it seemed that he ran too deep to the middle, and somehow, the boy miscalculated where the ball would land. It flew slightly higher than he thought it would be, and he had to adjust his body in the air immediately.
'SHIT! I have to get this done!' He gritted his teeth, trying to reach the ball.
BAM!
In the end, his head managed to get it as he jumped slightly backward. Still, it was far from the perfect header that he imagined earlier.
The ball had no power, and if anything, it floated so high to the far post before falling so dramatically in a parabolic motion.
However, it wasn't a bad execution if the final result was exactly what he wanted.
The goalkeeper tried his best to dive toward the far post, trying to reach the ball there. Unfortunately, the placement was far too close to the goalpost, and he was unable to get his hand on it.
As a result…
Clank!
