The Guardian

The moment was released, Kelechi charged ferociously towards the ball.

Neo looked around, he could see Mike lurking around and slowly tailing Kelechi.

They must be up to something. Neo mused to himself.

Lida quickly flicked the ball towards Mike, the defender on his right.

Mike was a bit startled by the speed and tenacity of Kelechi who suddenly turned to chase after him. Mike immediately passed the ball to Zuri.

Kelechi was supposed to defensive midfielder so why was he running around in the. Attacking lines like a maniac?

Kelechi suddenly stopped. He didn't run towards Zuri, who held the ball.

Instead, he jumped to the side and started running towards a particular person.

Shit!

Zuri cussed inwardly. How did he know I was going to pass the ball to Bice?

Sweat instantly formed on Zuri's head as he quickly took a goalkeeping stance.

As predicted, Kelechi got to the ball first and tipped it behind him.

The ball rolled comfortably towards Mike who was behind Kelechi.

Smile controlled the ball beautifully. The instant Mike controlled the ball, All the mavericks players that were loitering idly in the midfield suddenly dashed forward, looking to execute a one-touch finish attack.

Neo gritted his teeth as he watched the attack positions take form.

Damn! How didn't I see this!?

The attack was a very high tempo attack, and it came very sudden.

It would be very hard for Krystal Fc to get back from this attack.

Thump! Mike crossed the ball to the other flank of the field, where their No 7 was speeding away.

Benson's first touch let the ball run along and he pursued it with so much vigor.

Miles stuck his leg towards the ball but Benson passed the ball to Clark and continued running.

Before Miles could even turn around, Clark had returned the pass and Benson was speeding along the flanks.

Benson crossed the ball high above everyone.

Everyone jumped up to get the ball, but only one person got the ball.

And it was the 206cm tall Kelechi bright.

Just when everyone had feared that Zuri wasn't going to make the save, the ball took a very shocking twist.

Kelechi passed the ball to Mike who was behind him.

Mike released the ball with a crazy volley.

Damn! Zuri yelled as he dove for the ball.

Yeahhhhh!!!!!!

Zuri exclaimed so joyously as he got a fingertip to the ball, pushing into the woodwork, before the ball ricocheted back into the crowd of hot blood players.

And the ball chose to fall into the hands of…

…Neo Austin.

Neo controlled the ball to go behind him and he instantly sighted his teammates making a lively run towards his opponent's goalpost.

Neo released a colorful high flying backspin pass.

The pass sped towards Cai.

Cai was exhilarated. He made the run the moment the ball fell in the direction of Neo, with the hopes that Neo would see him.

Cai was alone with the keeper, everyone had dashed forward in courtesy of the ravenous attack they launched, he was certainly not going to miss this chance.

But the first step to score this wonderful goal was controlling the ball…

Cai instinctively stopped running as the world around him turned dark.

Cai looked up only to see a gigantic figure suspended in the sky.

Is that…

Kelechi Bright!?

Cai wasn't talk, being only 178cm. So seeing this extraordinary jump by someone so tall, Cai was flustered.

The funniest part of it all was the fact that Cai wasn't as tall as Kelechi's knee when Kelechi jumped.

Kelechi nodded the ball lightly, intercepting the pass.

Neo was shocked. Kelechi was behind him when he got the ball, so how Kelechi already back in his halve?

What sort of god-like reaction did Kelechi have?

Was Kelechi faster than Alex?

Kelechi landed lightly and pursued the ball.

Adrienne got to the ball first but Kelechi had already blocked him.

Adrienne tried a few scissors legs and moved away, just when he thought he was out of the reach of Kelechi, Kelechi's long legs suddenly stole the ball away from him.

Adrienne crashed to the floor as he wondered how Kelechi was still able to steal the ball away.

Pii!!

The referees whistle sounded.

Kelechi had a surprised look on his face.

How was that a foul? I stole the ball cleanly.

The referee uttered some explanation that Kelechi found stupid.

All in all, the referee let him off with a warning.

Kelechi walked away while the referee was still talking and he took his position to guard against the incoming free kick.
