Blue lock: Legacy

Chapter 48: Fortify

(Marco POV)
I was shaking. I stood frozen on the ground. I didn't know what to do in this situation. We were getting destroyed. It was happening again.

Michael Kaiser was a nightmare. A nightmare to me, a nightmare to everyone on our team.

Michael Kaiser came rushing forward to me for a 1v1.

There was no Sae to save me this time.

"You're nothing compared to me you pathetic defender. Height for what? Skills for what? An insect to crush."

Marco vs Kaiser
Kaiser used his cutting ability on me once more and his close control to get away from me, as I was currently tightly marking him doing my best not to lose sight of him.

Kaiser cuts in and immediately after bursts forward. In such a simple instance, I did what I thought was the best as I managed to use all my efforts in sticking to him, but there it was another change.

Kaiser made another change in direction again to throw me off his trail.

This was smart of him. I knew what he was doing and I wouldn't be able to stop it. Only watched a masterclass in front of my eyes.

Kaiser knew that I was working hard to make sure he didn't get by during the first cut. Because of this, he knows that my momentum if he cuts again will be enough for him to turn into space which leads to. . .

GO-

"I'm not done with toying with you yet!" Kaiser exclaimed.

Both me and Kaiser were now at a standstill. He looked at me with a smile. He knows the only way he can get passed me like this is as he made it harder for himself to pass me when he could've just gone for the goal, he needs to off-balance me or make a dive to beat me.

Kaiser took a step and leaned to his right causing me to instinctively move in that direction and start to commit. I realised that I fucked myself shortly after as Kaiser pushes off his right foot to move the ball in the other direction.

With that execution of the ball, I became off balance my momentum was taking me to my left. My weight is on the left side, making it hard for me to tackle Kaiser as he simply moves past me.

Kaiser's speed over the first 5-10 yards is incredible. No wonder how he can beat players like Calvin and Josh. He can beat them by doing a stop-to-start position.

BANG!
GOAL!!
(3-0)

"And that's how you score a hat trick before the first half." Kaiser gave a bow to our defeated-looking team.

We were useless. We were nothing compared to him.

(Charlie's POV)
The first half was over now it was time for your 15-minute break.

You did your best to head to the locker room straight away but it seems that Kaiser had other plans.

"I've been waiting for this. Show me this Sparkling Hope of Japan I've been hearing so much. . . If you don't I'll destroy your team even more. . . Though they look destroyed enough from the looks of it." He snickered.

You looked over to see what remained of Josh, Calvin and Lorenzo they looked utterly defeated as they dragged themselves to the locker room.

"You think you can come to this game, being passive? That's not how it works. You're a striker just like me so act like one. . . Because I'm not going to stop scoring goals until I see the real you." Kaiser left at that as he slightly pushed you to the side. The rest of his teammates followed along.

"That was something," Sae said, standing beside you.

You looked over to him.

"You don't look as drained compared to the others." You noted.
