For the first time since this game began, Harry looked unsettled. Previously, Harry would always have a look of nonchalance and laziness, but now, it could be seen that he truly wanted to save the wavering ball in front of him.
The ball created a deep suspense in everyone as it would suddenly fall and rise again, constantly switching lanes at unpredictable moments.
The ball suddenly diverted to a right angle and Harry instantly leaned towards his right. In the next second, the ball changed focus and moved to the far end of the left corner.
Harry gritted his teeth as he completely dived for the right post. Neo had a triumphant look on his face as the ball completely drifted away from Harry.
Thud!
The look on everyone's faces conveyed a very strong feeling of disbelief. But who could blame them? The spectacle they just beheld was truly shocking.
The ball had suddenly moved back to the right corner of the post and Harry saved the ball easilly. It was a very disappointing outcome for Krystal Fc, but especially for Neo.
When Neo had released the shot, he expected the final destination to be the top right corner, and that was where he aimed.
But seeing that the ball had suddenly switched to the left corner, Neo was happy that he didn't get the shot right and it ended up being the left top corner, only for his skills to strike him in such a way.
The ball fell back to Neo who had released the shot.
Neo trapped the ball and he sturbbonly let out another shot. The ball moved as it wavered in the air.
The ball came straight at Harry and Harry was in postition to catch the ball, he was also expecting Neo to have another trick up his sleeves so he waited patiently for the ball to suddenly switch directions.
Harry had heightened his senses to their maximum and he waited for any slight maneuver in the ball and he was going to dive at full stretch immediately.
Inwardly, he also tried to do a guess work, if he guessed correctly, then it would be very easy for him to save the ball.
In the next moment...
Harry's pupils constricted as the ball suddenly moved downwards and sideways. His focus was on the ball suddenly moved higher since it was at middle height, and that wan't where the height of the ball usually was.
He never expected Neo to stun him in this manner.
Harry was very quick to reat, he immediately stretched his hands as his leg took of immediately.
Krystal Fc players let out a sharp gasp as Harry still managed to touch the ball.
But in the next moment...
Pang!
Goalll!!!!!
Harry's touch wasn't enough, the ball still went in after ricocheting off the wood work.
Fu*k!
Zoe exclaimed in frustration as he hit his hand on the post.
Who could blame him? It was very heart-wrenching to see all your hardwork go up in flames.
The score was now 2-1 with Krystal Fc taking the lead.
It was Soma who started the kickoff.
The pass was swift and directed to his teammate.
Zoe controlled the ball and everyone regrouped again to start another venomous attack.
Neo felt his sweat drip away. He knew that the reaon they performed this well was because they had Kelechi on their team. Again, it was very obvious that they marbles players weren't giving it their all. Apart from that, Krystal Fc would have been dead meat long ago.
Neo could sense that his opponents were starting get annoyed by the fantastic plays Krystal Fc made. Because of this, they were startingto get serious and looking to crush Krystal Fc slowly.
Neo shook his head as a long pass was made by Soma to Walter. No! We an't play this wayin the tournamemt, we defimitel have to get stronger...
...And we will!
Walter smirked a bit as he easily dribble Eric and returned the ball to his home.
Kelechi remained in his position, he didn't go rushing towards the ball as he always did.
This struck a realization in Neo. Whenever Kelechi charged towards the ball, he always did so with a motive. He wasn'tjust going to charge for no reason. And now, the reason he wasn't charging in was because he was still looking for a reason to run after the ball tirelessly.
That gave Neo an Idea on how to beat the guardian, he was going to give Kelechi a reason to charge after the ball, a fake reason.
That way, Kelechi would out of his position, they were going to keep luring him out and making him run around the pitch till he was out of stamina.
Neo clicked his tongue mischievously as he stared at his temporary teammate.
let's see if your stamina is limitless after all!
