Chapter 360 Japan u17 vs Argentina u17 V
Appearing as if they were struck with a calamity, right now players of the Japan u17 team were slumped in their seats with their heads lowered. With none of them speaking, an unusual eeriness had engulfed their locker room.
Still, despite that silence, the air around the room was rather heavy with a palpable sense of disappointment and frustration.
Though their performance had been somewhat disappointing, until now, apart from that very first goal which they had conceded in the very first minute of the game, they hadn't conceded another goal. Yet, despite that, today it appeared as if everybody was thoroughly disappointed with their performance.
Outside the locker room, Manager Haruki while making his way towards the locker room, accompanied by his coaching staff appeared rather worried. With his brows knotted in a frown, he was wondering about the things he should say to motivate his players.
Though, they weren't losing miserably but still after the halftime whistle, it appeared to him that his players seemed rather dejected which shouldn't be the case. After all, they rarely reacted in such a way in any of the previous matches.
Sure they had made countless mistakes but it shouldn't be enough to turn them this way. Their reaction was rather surprising.
At first, he was just going to encourage them by telling them that apart from that very first mistake, they were doing quite well. But, after witnessing their reaction, he just couldn't bring himself to execute his already-thought plans.
Unable to hear any noise escaping through the door of the locker room, manager Haruki felt his heart pounding as he approached close to the locker room. Usually, it would have been quite hectic right now, but today the locker room of his team was unusually silent.
That silence, however, only added to his worries as he started feeling a little anxious. His anxiousness however only grew as he got close to the locker room.
What was he going to tell them? Tell them that they have performed well until now, or tell them to cheer up. Just what was he supposed to say?VIsit n0(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
They could have never expected that manager Haruki who was the epitome of professionalism would do such an unprofessional thing. Now, what were they supposed to do, instruct the players about the strategy? Or try to lift this gloomy mood in the locker room through some pep talk?
None had any idea. Utterly perplexed, they just stood there awkwardly looking at each other's faces, trying to think about the actions they should be performing.

After a short moment of rest, as the break came to an end, players from both teams started to enter the field. Each looked completely different than what they looked like when they exited the field after the whistle that concluded the first half.
While the opposing team had made some changes to their formation, the players of Japan after that abrupt declaration of their coach during the break had entered the field with the same set of players with no changes in their formation.
Yet despite all that, they appeared more sharper than ever.
Even the coaching staff of the Japanese side other than manager Haruki and Kazan were surprised at their transformation. After manager Haruki walked out of the locker room, having no idea on what to do, they too had walked out of the locker room.
Thus, they were completely unaware of the stuff that happened in the locker room afterward. But now upon witnessing such drastic changes despite having said nothing, they couldn't help but feel surprised at their transformation.
What just happened in the locker room?
With their eyes widened, the coaching staff of the Japanese side thought as they perplexingly looked at the figure of their players walking out the aisle.
