Fweee!
The moment the referee blew the whistle, Kenji kicked the ball back to the team's territory before walking leisurely to the front line. He didn't show any hint of nervousness about playing a high school game for the first time, acting like this was just the back of his yard.
Takaaki also couldn't care less with his attitude. The glasses boy knew that without Kuroki as the vocal point, he couldn't send a long ball there, knowing full well that Kenji's aerial ability wasn't as strong as his senpai's. No, instead, he caught the movement on the right wing, and without hesitation, he used his instep to send a pinpoint pass straight to that side.
"Oh! A good pass, Senpai!" Denji, another newcomer to the team, grinned when he saw the ball was flying into the space in front of him.
"Left back, stop him!"
"Slow him down! Don't foul him!"
