The UEFA Euro, with Kyoko, was over.
However, she still dreamed, that, she could do something…
Being expelled from the Ukrainian squad, but she still wished to do the best for the national team of Ukraine. Coach Fomenko?
Of course he wouldn't even wanna call her back…
Who know?
Well…
#####
Marseilles, France
Stade Vélodrome…
The Stadium was full when Poland vs. Ukraine! Mostly Polish fans controlled it!
Why? Because with the Poles, the match would be like their war. Poland and Ukraine have historical issues, as in the past, Ukrainian Cossack Lord asked Ottoman and Russian helps on the war against Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth; but more over, was the mysterious Ukrainian UPA group, a group that mystically linked to Hitler and murdered over 100.000 to 300.000 Polish people in Volhynia. The Poles never forget this tragedy…
Because UPA was out, the Poles could think about future clash with Croatia, which they called "Ustaša"… Oh dear…
And Reika, appeared on Polish side, wouldn't side to anyone at this political war. She just wanted to do best… for Poland.
Reika only felt strange at the Ukrainian side… "Huuh? Where is…"
Match started!
At the match, the only thing Pirlo and Charisteas felt strange, was the absent of Kyoko. Pirlo and Charisteas, both put some photos.
And definitely, it was more than just something just told…
"Well, they went with powers, they blew many things. And…"
"Okay, so… WHAT? Pirlo, what did you mean?"
Okay first half! First, the Poles tried to comfort the frontier of the Ukrainian team, but well, Milik missed a lot. It wasn't last long. Soon Ukraine retook back this. Arturo Vidal noted:
"The Ukrainians seemed to be disappointed much. So with Ukraine, they must win. But something tells me, Poland did not let it go."
It was his post at Instagram.
At later, in 15', Ukraine moved up and quickly fired into Fabiański's net. But Polish team stood well and they quickly stopped many chances of the Ukrainians. With the missing of Kyoko, Reika could stay calm.
With Coach Mykhaylo Fomenko, he seemed to be okay with it. He thought that Ukraine would be better at all. 0-0 and it was 20'.
Oh my!
NO GOAL!
The clash between the national team of Poland and Ukraine continued to go on its route. 0-0 and Ukraine, with Konoplyanka, controlled entire of the field, but no goal after all. The Poles defended really well.
As for Reika, she was having enough time. She kept writing and she believed something could change at all.
Still, Ukraine in front, continued attack!
Meanwhile, on the stadium, Kyoko still watched. She knew Ukraine would do well, but unless they scored, they could do nothing. The time to realize that Ukraine would leave the match with nothing. It was 29' and now Ukraine 0-0 Poland. With this result, as still, Germany 0-0 Northern Ireland, what the Ukrainians hope for?
…
…
…
And it was 35'! Now, Germany scored to lead 1-0! Mario Gómez!
Meanwhile, the Poles were still holding the line. Yarmolenko to Zozulya all failed to make contact as Captain Rotan was too lonely. This caused Coach Fomenko to change.
"I need a better view from it!"
"THEN WHY DON'T YOU DO IT ALONE?"
As for the result, Reika should find out: now or never, Ukraine's squad was on a big chaos. If she used this advantage on the second half, Poland would score a goal that lead to a victory!
So Reika asked Coach Nawałka to make a direct hit in the second half. Coach Adam Nawałka himself also trusted her, so he put this. It was 36'.
Poland under pressures…
"AYA!"
Still, no goal for Ukraine. Then Lewandowski managed to strike but still nothing. Kuba on the front too, only waited to be allowed…
He was not named on the first eleven, so he had to be ready.
Krychowiak! Ohh disappointed moves! Nothing changed the score line at all. Still 0-0!
If this still happened, then Ukraine had to change by all cost. But Coach Fomenko still believed he could work, with or without Kyoko.
"That's my job, not her job!"
And came to 45', still, no goal. Ukraine 0-0 Poland and it totally devastated Ukrainian team. No goal, bad strikers, what could they blame for?
Nature?
No. Then?
…
…
It's over then, 0-0 after 45'. Who wanna say? Ukraine played well, but Poland showed that how much they wanted to smash UPA and Bandera. Sad but true.
Reika soon realized the chance, as Northern Ireland only lost 0-1 currently… and so…
…
…
…
…
…
Second half…
In this situation, Ukraine soon realized that they needed a thumb up. But…
Hold on, Kuba…
Jakub Błaszczykowski, he arrived. Now, Reika changed herself…
…Cure Beauty time!
#####
As for the others, Nikov and Matadora went out, they put weapons to be ready again. They knew something would come…
…and…
#####
Reika stoke!
She went up with a bow and an arrow. Wow, with this actions, sooner or later…
Corner kick for Poland! Jakub got it. Facing Ukrainian defenders… what? HE SHOT!
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL! JAKUB! HE SCORED! JAKUB BŁASZCZYKOWSKI! 1-0 FOR POLAND!
UKRAINE 0-1 POLAND!
…
And who explained now?
Coach Fomenko came mad, he got hot and he went by blaming many of staffs for the failure. Ukraine had lost too much for nothing at the tournament.
This might be bad.
Reika just tried to use one shot, that she could manage a goal for Poland. Now, she came back, and just looked. After all, when she was ready, Jakub scored at 51'. And Poland totally controlled the situation again.
…
64'…
Ukraine continued to struggle for a goal! And so, Kyoko just kept looking. She could see the faces of whole Ukrainian team, they lost all of their fighting spirits.
Now, still 1-0 for Poland. She wanna help as well, but Fomenko…
…
Back to Northern Ireland, they managed to lose only 1 goal down. That's surprised when Germany had many good strikers.
…
Well, how did they know?
It was 78'. Fomenko and his staff wouldn't like to see this: all Ukrainian team continued to fail. Poland meanwhile, just waited another chance to score. The only person disappointed in Polish squad, was Lewandowski for not scoring any goal as well. But at least Poland was going to win.
Now, Fomenko could look nothing, well…
"Wasn't I too harsh?"
"Wait, you are mentioning…"
"Yeah, maybe my fault…"
Haru was not in the match… but she found that Kyoko must be there. So she…
…
…
…

"Come down, when you see this, Poland totally proved who was better." It was a comment from Pirlo after seeing the situation: "with this situation, Albania definitely has no chance to qualify."
"Yeah, but really Albania defeated Romania, wasn't it so surprised?" Charisteas told: "Funny how many Albanians hate Greeks…"
"I heard that too. Albanians are mostly jealous with others."
As the match came to an end, Ukraine still failed to score at least a goal. Coach Fomenko in total disappointment, he yelled:
"Why don't you Poles score another goal? I get disappointed totally!"
Now, Kyoko saw it, suddenly, she…
She only touched the hand…
"Please, help them… to not losing another goal…"
…
…
…
…
"ZZZZZZZZZZZ"
What the…
#####
Germany continued to lead 1-0 but the match still in problem for the Germans.
"Well, who take responsibility for the bad striking?"
"Who know?"
It was…
#####
Kyoko… she…
BLOW A LIGHT! Now, Reika just looked up and being surprised that the Ukrainians, by somehow, they got energy to fight. Of course, it wasn't enough to change since it was 85'.
But from then, Polish strikers like Milik or Lewandowski couldn't score. On this day, Kyoko strength was an angel, totally different than the first two matches. Now, Reika found something…
"I guess, she was there…"
Mr. Fomenko still not understand why…
But the Ukrainians had played by the best, they did the best. Never saw they fought like that in the last few minutes. At least, they stopped many Polish chances.
And the result maintained 1-0 for Poland.
By the end of the match, Poland couldn't score anymore. Well? Such a brave match for Ukraine. With the right appearance from Kyoko, finally Ukraine only lost 0-1. And so that came…
Coach Fomenko, didn't understand any reason, he had gone down…
"Finally… out, no goal for, only goal against… but this match…"
Anatoliy Tymoshchuk, one of the most experienced Ukrainian player, only disappointed: "Ukraine… is dead…"
With the others, Poland had qualified. So Ukraine had to leave with nothing. Such a disaster. With Poland they won! And heroically victory since 2001 over Ukraine.
After all, Kyoko just left. She had done her job after all. The game over, and she had nothing left. Coach Fomenko, later, announced that he would resign as manager of Ukraine.
