Axel in the lockers looks at the players who were sick the entire tournament season now demanding to be played. He glances at Katsuki who is not bothered by their request, "Why bring this up now? Do you have any idea the preparations we had to make? The hours of training? How difficult it was to even get here? Last game we even let the ball boy play on the field."

Nijiro sighs, "Look, coach, it might be beneficial for their careers, but we made it to the finals and we'd like to win, as Captain I am rejecting their request, I made it this far with this put together ragged group, and I don't want anyone else being put on the field except for strategic purposes." He looks at the 3rd years, "No one owes you their spot, I'm sorry for what happened to you, I'll talk to the Club Owner's son, and see what he can do for you guys, but I didn't make it this far to lose."
