Tsurumaru (3)

Four years back in Jeonsu college periodical match. "So i will attribute y'all a position, the winger Son, Minyu, Wong, Baek, Higo. That's be all. The other will be full-back nor center-back." Coach Sato say looking at his note.

An assistant coach near him look at and point at Jun picture on the note, "what do you think of him you complimented him a lot during the friendly game." 

Coach Sato uninterested said. "Who is it again?" 

Coach Sato always call Jun by an other name.

"Good Junnyu."

"That's it Junji."

"You did great Junki."

He always annoy Jun that his coach always call him an other name, "My name is Jun not Junki!! And its not the first time that you doing it."

Coach Sato replies with a somewhat bemused look on his face, "oh, sorry...excuse me Juni."

Jun just let a desperate sigh he knows it mean nothing to argue more on it.

In the cafeteria of the college Jun was sitting with one of his friend his name Junnosuke.

"I think its your fault." Jun exclaim himself, "you are always in the line-up Junnosuke! I'm sure he mistook cause we look alike and think your the one who's good during practice, its impossible that i'm not even on the list as a sub." he said looking at Junnosuke.

Junnosuke have a annoyed look as he eat, "how that will be my fault?"

Jun respond quickly to him, "he even call me by your name sometime, what i should do for the coach keep remember me?" while stirring his food.

Junnosuke says without being serious, "why don't you bleach your hair..."

Jun smile and said, "your right like that it will remark me more"

...

"Go more quickly, the full-ball go help the striker!!" The assistant coach shout.

Coach Sato spoke to his assistant, "what he is doing, why he didn't move."

The assistant coach shout "Hey you!! who are you?" Jun his taken aback by the assistant coach call him out, "huh...me?" The assistant shout "Yes you the blond one."

"What his your name?" the assistant ask.

"Huh...its Jun" he said.

Pointing to the empty space, the assistant says, "can't see the empty space down there, hurry up. Just because you're a full-back doesn't mean you have to stay at the back."

"..." Jun didn't respond and still look at him.

"What are you doing hurry up." The assistant shout at him.

Jun shows the empty space in turn, "but if i go, it will be more dangerous in they start an counter-attack! And the midfielder are up too if they counter attack we will lost."

The assistant growls at him, "Are you trying to teach me how to play??"

Jun look at him confuse, "I just thought it wasn't for me to attack..."

Suddenly the ball came to the side of Jun the opposite team start a counter attack, Jun run to challenge the ball he jump and put it in touch.

Coach Sato look at him, "he's smart, but insolent...what his name again?"

The assistant respond, "Jun...i think."

At night late after training Jun find himself surround by three other player including Chūichi at the back of the training ground. They start to beat him up then Chūichi talk.

"Hey son of a bitch do you think the coach is your friend huh? Fuck...I'll kill you the next time you talk back to him again, just do what we told you is not complicated don't you think? As they walk away, "why did he cause trouble when is never name on the line up."

A few days later the assistant coach keep insisting on Jun to move forward. "Hey why don't you go forward?! Just go!!! Stop ignoring me!!"

Jun turn back to him and shout at him, "They are already the center back why i should move...if i go forward who will take my place in defence, its evident so why do you keep telling me to go forward..hah fuck!!"

Coach Sato ask "what his name again?"

"Its Jun..." The assistant say.

"We can't keep him."

Back to the game against Tsurumaru Jun keep advancing with the ball and closing the distance. Coach Sato though Jun...he never listen even when you shout at him so why now he goes forward?

Jun his in the box and shot the ball who strike the nets and score letting Higo and Chūichi speechless. Jun shouts at the top of his voice after scoring his goal who ties the game everyone goes with him celebrate.

Score 1-1

Coach Emaon look at the team celebrate the goal, "Jun is really cleaver he always try to judge the situation calmly, if he do a mistake he will fix it to never do it again, he always try to see what is ahead of him because is smart and know how to switch roles its why the change of formation with three defender was possible he his brillant." 

Renji on the bench look at the coach discourse his monologue. Iv'e never see him talking this much during a game.

"Fuck the atmosphere completely change now!" exclaim Chūichi himself.

Gen catching his breath look at the team and think, y'all are just better than me.

The match restart, Tsurumaru are slowing down the fatigue of the second half start to kick in, and as the same time they let go of their Gegenpressing and put a low block to expect an counter-attack the all with conserving their 4-4-2. Kagoshima go one a 3-5-2 and Gabriel position himself as 10 behind Ryota and Takahashi.

With his large vision and capacity to cover all the pitch he create a numerous amount of possibility between player and play quickly, but the player of Tsurumaru known that the team resolve around him so they focus their pressing on him every time he got the ball in the midfield. Gabriel lost the ball in the midfield its Sanoshi who got it he make a long pass to the left for Fukusa, their counter-attack is initiated Fukusa breaks quickly down the left and and cross at the ground level the ball goes to Chimao but let it pass for Chūichi.

"Don't think, just keep in mind the end is Chūichi"

Chūichi is stop by Daichi who even with his little body still keep his ground and take the ball in his feet and directly pass it to Hikaru, as Daichi look at Chūichi on the ground, "I feel more at ease now." he said.

Chūichi has a defeated look on his face. For fuck's sake.

Hikaru with the ball pass it to Gen, "Its our moments," he said has he pass the ball.

"The number 22 run."

"Its only a bait stop number 9,11,8!!"

"To who he will pass it"

Ryota, Takahashi and Kenta are on the move who will receive the ball between them?

ITS GABRIEL.

They were so focus on marking Takahashi and Ryota that they let Gabriel continue his run, the first touch of Gabriel is perfect and he is now on a 1v1 against the keeper he shot but the ball hit the cross-bar, Gabriel curse at himself. But the ball she luckily end in Gen feet.

He placed his foot on the ball, shifted it slightly and fired a heavy shot that flew across the pitch and into the top left-hand corner. Tozu could only watch as the ball graced the net. 

Gen celebrates the goal and walks past Chūichi with a big smile on his face, which irritates Chūichi to no end.

Its already been 38 minutes since the second half start Tsurumaru has start many offensive with Chūichi to lead it, they are now on the offensive with the minute who keep advancing.

Chūichi pass to Higo on the right who face Jun, looking at Chūichi for the one-two, "Higo don't pass it to me et drible you can do it." Hearing that Higo execute himself he make two-three stepovers and accelerates he feint to his right and nutmeg Jun, Higo make a pass to Chimao who back heel it to Chūichi, who is marked by Daichi is advancing to the goal Joon advance to anticipate the shot. Daichi shout, "his going to shot..."

Chūichi take a quick glance at Joon, and without looking he pass it back to Chimao. "Chūichi make a pass in front of the goal?!!"

Chūichi in his thought Its a simple pass, you can't miss it everyone is focused on me!

Chimao didn't expect for Chūichi to pass him the ball and she pass it in front of him.

Chūichi curse at him, you fucking idiot.

The ball was going to go out but his stopped by Jun who make a long pass. "The defense go back in yours positions , concentrate yourself on number 6 and 22." Chūichi said looking at the long pass send by Jun.

The ball still in the air came near Takahashi but Chiken is still too big for him and won the ball and pass it to Masagoro, Kenta sneak the ball from behind him and pass it to Gen, "Good pass." he said.

With the ball Gen pass make a long curved pass to Ryota, all the team is on the attack, Takahashi, Hikaru, Gabriel. Ryota is going near the 1v1 he decide to pass it inside for Takahashi...before he could even control the ball Masagoro tackle it, the ball it back Chikai.
