Barou Shoei immediately positioned himself with Niou and Jra Miro behind him, preparing to receive the ball.
"Are you really going to pass the ball to this guy?"
Niou and Jra Miro firmly blocked Barou Shoei's position.
"True enough. After all, you do have some offensive ability, unlike that number eleven. Even if he scores a goal, that won't change. But as long as we shut you down and keep you from touching the ball, it'll be fine! Eradicate him! Surround him! We won't let you touch the ball that easily!"
It was not just Niou and Jra Miro. Jra Miro also came over to help block him.
But just as the ball skimmed over their heads, Barou Shoei and the others realized that they were unable to reach it.
The distance of the pass was extremely ambiguous, successfully misleading Barou Shoei.
Barou Shoei was misled by the ball, but he successfully drew everyone's attention.
"This ball wasn't passed to you, Barou! It was for someone else!"
Isagi Yoichi shouted.
The ball flew over Barou Shoei's head and landed where another person was waiting.
Nagi Seishiro!
Isagi Yoichi had moved to that position earlier to make himself, Barou Shoei, and Nagi Seishiro form a straight line. Only then could they mislead their opponents.
With everyone's attention focused on Barou Shoei, hardly anyone noticed Nagi Seishiro!
That was the first step of the performance!
"Damn it, Isagi! Did you use me?"
Realizing he had been played, Barou Shoei burned with rage.
"Was it this guy?!"
Only then did the other U20 members realize that Isagi Yoichi had never intended to pass to Barou Shoei. They hurried to cover Nagi Seishiro.
They had all witnessed Nagi Seishiro's incredible trapping technique. They absolutely could not give him a chance to shoot!
