Well, Miki Yamane's shout was subtle enough that it was enough to make Hakodate Nishi players feel anxious. They didn't know what their opponent was up to, and this was worrying, since if a powerhouse team like them made this kind of signal, that meant they were about to do something drastic.
Still, the ball was on their side right now, and they decided to drag the game a little bit further with more possession. It helped that Takaaki's confidence in controlling the tempo spiked after his last game, as his demeanor became closer to that of a veteran general right now. All of his commands were spot-on, and while it still wasn't enough to get the team closer to the opponent's penalty box, at least they controlled the whole possession for the next five minutes, which should be a record for the team.
"Usami, behind you! Be careful!"
"Pass it back! Pass it back! Don't be hasty!"
"Kenji, don't go too deep! You are getting isolated!"
"Yes, Denji! Hold it more! Hold it more!"
Brugh!
