"Shit! Shit! Shit! SHIT!" Makino cursed when he saw the ball landing straight into the space in front of Mamoru. "HORI, WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU?!" He roared, a thick vein popped on his forehead as the boy kept moving back while also keeping an eye on Mamoru.
Honestly, with Hori overlapping too far and him having to hold back Mamoru Suzuki alone here, this was the most stressful play that Makino experienced so far in this game. It also didn't help that more Shimizu Higashi players reacted quicker than his teammates, as at least five players with white jerseys had already occupied Hakodate's own half.
The only saving grace here was probably that they were still close to the center line, not enough to pose an immediate threat to Higo.
"Coming back! Coming back!" Hori rushed at top speed, having a race with the opponent's full back, who was also trying to give Mamoru backup.
