Just then, a voice rang in Ye Liangqiu's ears.
Hiori Yo looked at him with his big eyes and said, "Thank you."
"Huh?" [・_・?] Ye Liangqiu, did I do something good again?
Wasn't it the chemical reaction between him and Shidou Ryusei that got them on the field?
Why is he thanking me?
Ah?
Thinking of this, Ye Liangqiu frowned deeply. Could it be... he's interested in him?
In an instant, he shook off that thought, "No, no, no... this is all false."
But when he turned his head, he saw Hiori Yo looking at him with a dazed expression (╹▽╹).
Ye Liangqiu was silent... So what exactly did he do to make him thank him?
Until the whistle blew.
The aura around the professional team had completely changed, and even Silva's face was almost expressionless.
The moment the whistle sounded.
Loki, who had the ball, moved. This time, he barely gave anyone a chance to react. Except for Ye Liangqiu, who could keep up with his speed using his Demon King's Eye, everyone else's gaze had just shifted to Loki.
But they found that the ball had already been passed to Kabasos.
As a midfield commander, when he got the ball, the pressure on Ye Liangqiu's team doubled.
Itoshi Rin directly stepped forward, wanting a one-on-one confrontation.
But the next second, Kabasos sent a high ball directly. Runa, who was already in position in front of the penalty area, stopped the ball with one foot, then immediately used his nimble dribbling to rush towards the penalty area.
Shidou Ryusei still wanted to steal the ball directly.
However, Runa, who had completely entered his FLOW, gave no chance. He pushed the ball forward with his right foot, directly performing a nutmeg. "Little monster, your stride is too flawed!"
Shidou Ryusei's eyes widened, and he twisted his body with extreme flexibility, still trying to struggle.
But Runa smiled, hooked the ball with his left foot, and quickly dribbled towards the penalty area.
And Shidou Ryusei, due to unstable footing, fell directly to the ground, being played like a fiddle.
"Bastard!"
Seeing Ye Liangqiu closing in, Runa originally wanted to test his level, but remembering Loki's words, he immediately stopped that thought and chose a more secure way to score.
With a "bang."
The soccer ball was passed out.
Runa frowned deeply. It was exactly as Loki said. Can this guy predict everyone's thoughts?
That's right... just as he was about to pass, Ye Liangqiu's movements were already rushing in the direction of the pass.
Is he so sure that I would pass this ball?
However, that was the case, and he did pass the ball.
Blake made an off-ball run into the penalty area. As if sensing the ball's arrival, his thigh muscles bulged, and in the instant before the ball landed.
He unleashed a powerful shot.
The score immediately became 2:3.
Ye Liangqiu, who had stopped halfway through his run, fell silent... The professional players' observation skills were indeed terrifying. After only a few shots, they had thought of a way to limit him, plus their technique and physical prowess completely overwhelmed them.
The previous goal seemed incredibly simple.
Moreover, the goals they had scored earlier, as Ego said, were fleeting. They lacked the stability of the professionals... or rather, a scoring method that could be replicated at any time.
This was the gap between them.
But even if he saw the gap, what could he do?
Everyone knew the gap and tried their best to narrow it, but in reality, these amateur players were like children fighting adults in front of professional players.
Just because they let you in the beginning doesn't mean they can't beat you.
After this goal, the professional team's FLOW returned, and they quickly equalized the score, even taking a one-point lead.
3:4.
On the field, Ye Liangqiu was panting heavily. The feeling of being completely seen through by the opponent was truly unpleasant... The Demon King's Eye could see the opponent's movement trajectory and even their next move, but the opponent's movements were also absurdly fast. It wasn't that he couldn't keep up.
It was that the opponent simply wouldn't confront him directly.
As soon as he got close, they would pass the ball away.
Furthermore, Itoshi Rin and Shidou Ryusei had no coordination at all... Hiori and Nagi Seishiro were also completely suppressed in this match.
Damn it... is the gap really that big?
Ye Liangqiu couldn't help but recall Niko's appearance. Perhaps that's how that guy felt when he carried the entire team forward...
"One more point," Hiori Yo wiped away his sweat. "The gap between us and professional players is really huge... Their coordination is like they've trained countless times."
Shidou Ryusei complained, "The ball passed by that colorful midget is impossible to intercept."
Nagi Seishiro also nodded, "I can't stop that opposing old man. He's too strong, even heavier than Tokimitsu was."
At this moment, Ye Liangqiu looked up, his entire eyes seeming to be enveloped in crimson, and he grinned, "Isn't this more interesting?"
"Facing players stronger than us, we know the gap, and we even know where we lost. At least it means we can keep up with their movements, unlike other players who are completely dominated."
"Only one winner on the field gets to be cheered."
"Even if this is just a practice match."
"But I can clearly feel countless gazes looking at us."
"WC, bro, can your eyes see me?"
"No, Qiu Bao, are you really saying you can see us?"
"Is there a possibility he's talking about Ego?"
"Hahahahaha!" Suddenly, Shidou Ryusei burst out laughing. He pointed towards the opposing goal, his lips gradually curling into a smile. "Shoot, shoot, shoot!"
"Even if we lose, we have to shoot with all our might!"
"That's what you mean, right?"
Itoshi Rin pushed aside the hair covering his eyes. The desire to win in his eyes had reached its peak. He wasn't sure what was happening to him... but this state was very good. The rationality that had been clouded by anger gradually calmed down.
Hiori Yo licked his lips. Perhaps due to the influence of these monsters around him, the blood in his body seemed to be boiling, undergoing a slight change.
Nagi Seishiro looked at his hands, wondering what he was thinking.
He was very curious why these people had become like this... but his own body was also agitated because of them.
In an instant, the aura around all of them seemed to condense into a black demon, staring at the opposing professional team.
.....
In the monitoring room.
Ego Jinpachi stared intently at the screen, feeling the strong fighting spirit, and chuckled softly.
"Forced to the final step of the abyss, has everyone entered the FLOW state?"
