章 624: Youngest in the history

A deafening cheer erupted from the stands, shaking the entire stadium. Japanese fans sprang on their toes, their hands in the air. 

Meanwhile, on the pitch, Mitoma after scoring the goal that gave them the much-needed lead rushed to the sideline with an exhilarated expression. 

Immediately, the other players clad in blue followed him, a wide grin plastered on their faces. As for Hiro, he remained rooted at the spot from where he had delivered that striking pass. 

He was glad that the pass connected. 

'Now, we can focus on defending,' Hiro thought while panting. 

While the celebration was ongoing, he glanced at the sideline. There he found Nanami preparing to make a few substitutions. 

'Seems like this is it for me,' Hiro sighed, revealing a subtle grin. 

Hiro could tell that he was going to be replaced. Even so, he didn't feel sad about it. Rather, Hiro acknowledged Nanami's tactical decision.
