Chapter 4
Hiramatsu POV
I wonder how the new team is going to turn out. Both Kudo and Mahori are great players, with technique, skill and power. They could take two spots in the regulars but then who would be taken out. We only have one available spot right now and that is the position of centre, Kubo-sans old position.
Kudo POV
I think Kamiya has already chosen the regulars for this season. There isn't too much to have to change after all. Everything is the same except with Mahori being a centre and with me being a sub if he honours our agreement.
Tanaka POV
With the two additions to Kakegawa soccer club, I don't feel as confident about my position as I usually would. They are both more skilful than me and more strategic on the field. Even if I am not centre forward, I would probably be a winger anyway so I am still a regular, although I will be slightly disappointed that I cannot face Matsushita with the same position.
Sasaki POV
I wonder who will take the number 10. It could be Kamiya, Tanaka, Hiramastsu or even the newcomer Kudo. That Kudo is something; he has technique, skill, and power. I think he is as fast as me as well. Maybe he will become a winger or centre forward; I might not even make it as regular and be a sub. Regardless he is going to be an extremely valuable player. I heard Nitta ask
"Why are you so chill about this? I know because you are definitely going regular."
"That's not true. We have to consider the two new players Mahori and Kudo as well. They are really good. My position depends on where they are put. But what I am more concerned and curious about is who is taking number 10."
"Number 10. Oh, that's Kubo-sans old uniform number, now that I think about it, I wonder who is going to wear that."
Otsuka POV
"Kamiya is probably going to be number 10. Besides if it is not Kamiya, then who else?"
"That true" says Akahori.
"Maybe no one will ever wear it again. But the team will feel incomplete without that number." says Yano.
"That's true as well" says Akahori.
