Omar stared at the referee in frustration, as if directing his anger to the referee, after all his bragging, Heroes Fc still couldn't tie the lead or make any significant progress. As a matter of fact, they even missed their sure-goal skill, Derek's lightning goal.
Nico draped a towel over Neo's shoulder, the boy's exhaustion was definitely beginning to show. Neo was sweating profusely and his breathing was unsteady, it was the same for most of Krystal Fc players.
Although it might have seemed that Neo didn't really draw out his influential plays this first half, he had actually contributed a lot to the current score line.
Whenever Heroes was carrying out a crucial attack, Neo would suddenly appear and Heroes Fc's high soccer IQ would tell them that Neo's presence was a threat and they would be forced to go back or look for another alternative. It was a funny story but, Neo's presence on the pitch was enough to scare their opponents.
