Chapter 6: Chapter 06 - Line of Sight
My fist clenched in celebration, I was ecstatic with the goal I had scored. Like a king sitting on his throne, I looked down on my adversaries from above. It was as if the football field became smaller, I was at the top of that match. My blood was boiling, if this match was a live broadcast, I would be the center of attention. The eyes of the world would be upon me.
My mouth opened in a smile, I had never felt anything like it in my entire life. I was eager to further hone my skills. I walked back to our side of the field and like a lurking predator I waited for the right moment to strike again.
At the same time, the system screen appeared in front of me.

"My attributes are improving with each training session... I can feel like I'm a different player."
"I'm the star of this match."
The sound of the whistle echoed on the field and the ball rolled again, the team in red gave the ball away and patiently played the ball again in their defense field.
I was still feeling the adrenaline and didn't think twice before advancing quickly towards the opposing player who was in possession of the ball. With a cart, I prevented the pass from being completed and the ball bounced off the opponent's foot.
"Right!"
I celebrated energetically as I got up from the floor. The team was still feeling the goal conceded and so they were unable to touch the ball more effectively even without strong pressure from my teammates.
The full-back was charged looking for an attacker who retreated to midfield to get the ball, he dominated with his chest and made a strong pivot avoiding the defenders' marking.
"Don't be missed!"
I shouted at the defender who was marking and, just as I asked, he didn't fall into the attacker's trap and just surrounded him.
Seeing that the other players on my team were approaching, the opposing striker turned the game around with a high and precise pass. Our defenders were concentrated on the side where the ball was and couldn't prevent the pass.
The opposing winger controlled the ball as if it stuck to his foot and raised his head, he held it for a few seconds and then advanced towards the side of the field. Using all the strength in his leg, he crossed into the box for the attacker to compete for the header.
However...
As soon as the ball entered our area, I jumped with all my strength and headed forward, moving it towards midfield.
I fell hard to the ground, but my blood was boiling so incredibly that the pain didn't affect me in the slightest.
"Press the midfield!"
I stood up and ran to the attack while shouting with a vehemence that would leave even the gods of Olympus intimidated.
My teammates understood the message and, moving with an agility and precision worthy of professional players, they disturbed the opponent, stealing the ball from them in a short time.
"We are becoming more and more in tune..."
"Ah... man, this feels so good!"
I smiled when I realized that the strategy was working. The ball was thrown towards me, and I controlled it with surgical precision. A defender approached, but I left him behind with a quick touch, like a fleeting shadow. I ran towards the goal, with the ball glued to my feet, feeling the wind from my movements cutting into my face.
I played the ball to my teammate who approached and, without me having to order him, he touched it first time and made one-two with me perfectly.
With each movement, with each pass, our team got closer and closer to the goal.
With our quick touches that went to the side of the field, it didn't take long for one of the passes to reach the edge of the area. My partner let the ball pass between your legs and the ball was perfectly on my foot, I positioned my body and with the instep of my foot I kicked and the ball went perfectly into the corner.
My lungs filled with air and, with a scream, I cheered as a pleasurable feeling washed over me.
Level Up! Level Up! Level Up!
The robotic sound of the system echoed endlessly in my head.
[GOOOOOOOL!]
[Player N-11, Captain, Blue Team: Goal]
[Team Blue 2x0 Team Red]
The goal was like a bucket of cold water and, from that moment on, the opposing team knew they would no longer have a chance to react and change the score.
I no longer put them in my line of sight.
