The Dreamers
The dreamer

Each player's heart rate is so tight before the second-half whistle begins. If Sapporo lose this match, then it's finished their dream in this tournament. They will automatically not qualify the group phase if they lose against Osaka.

...

Priit!!

"Come on!! spirit Hiro!!" Izumi's screams continued to echo.

Throughout the second half, Sapporo continued to press the Osaka defense. The entire audience did not believe what they saw. Osaka, who was one of the champion candidates, played hard against the team km dark horse (unseeded) from Sapporo.

A few minutes before the game was over, a miracle happened for Sapporo. Thanks to the carelessness of Osaka defenders, Sapporo managed to get a penalty kick prize after a handball in the penalty box.

Hiro advanced forward as a penalty kicker that could be the determinant of Sapporo's victory over Osaka.

...

Hiro took a deep breath, and Gol! Hiro celebrated towards Izumi who was watching from the audience stands. Izumi was happy when Hiro presented this goal for him.

...

Priit!!

Long whistle sign of the end of the fight.

Sapporo won. Next up in the deciding match in the group phase, they will have to face Yokohama.

Yokohama University was actually not so tough, in the previous game, they lost to Tokyo and Osaka. It should be an easy fight for Hiro and the guys.

Sure enough, Sapporo managed to beat the Yokohama resistance with a score of 4-1. Hiro scored 2 goals and 1 assist in this match.

Hiro's stunning actions on the field earned the appreciation of the entire audience. There are even some talent scouts who deliberately look at this tournament to look for the best young talents.

Among the scouts hiding behind the audience was a man named Darwin Benjiro. A talent scout who is already interested in Hiro's performance on the field.

"Hmm, I will continue to monitor the development of this child" murmured Darwin.

...

With this victory, Sapporo managed to advance to the last 16 after qualifying from the group phase as runners-up under Tokyo.

In the stands, Izumi was still faithfully waiting for the final result of the match from Sapporo University. He always wanted Sapporo to win every game until the final.

Hiro who realized that Izumi was still faithfully waiting, made his heart become a little open. "Izumi.., thank you for the support," muttered Hiro.

...

In the last 16, Sapporo managed to win over Akihabara with a Thin score of 1-0. Again Hiro was the one who scored the decisive goal.

...

In the top 8, Sapporo also managed to beat fierce resistance from strong team Nagoya with a striking score of 3-0. Although Hiro did not create a goal, but Hiro managed to provide 3 assists.

The entire audience including Sapporo supporters themselves do not believe in this victory. Nagoya is the superior team in this tournament, how could it lose so easily at the hands of Sapporo?

This win made more and more scouts who began to be curious about one of Sapporo's most prominent players, Hiro.

On the other hand, the Sapporo players do not believe they can progress to the semi-finals.

"It's crazy!"

"That's amazing!"

"Can't be trusted!"

"Is this a dream?!"

All the players from the Sapporo team including Hiro and Ryota are very happy with their achievements. But in this pleasure Ryota had time to ask Hiro. "Hiro, what if we win this tournament? do you still want to keep your promise to Izumi?"

"We'll see in the future" said Hiro.

"All right,"

...

In the semifinals, Sapporo met another strong opponent, Kobe. The players from Kobe are so tall and big. They were very strong with aerial duels.

In the first half alone, Kobe managed to excel over Sapporo with a score of 3-1. It was a tough game for Sapporo. They have started thinking about getting ready to lose and get knocked out of the tournament.

Sapporo supporters and some observers of talent have also begun to leave the stands. Everything feels quiet. No more Sapporo audience cheers. There was only the sound of singing from Kobe supporters who were getting excited.

"No, how is this? we can't do it,"

Sapporo players seem to have lost the will to win.

"Hey? what are you guys thinking?" But Hiro is still trying to give spirit. "After all, we have to keep our spirits up! support Sapporo will be disappointed if we play not spirit."

"No, not all of them, yet" Hiro pointed towards Izumi who was still waiting for the second half to begin. "You see that? that's our supporter! we can't disappoint him!"

...

Priit!!

the second round begins. Izumi continues to encourage Hiro and Ryota and his friends to win this match.

"Yoo!! you can!!" Izumi cried out alone among Kobe's supporters.

It is this one-man shout that pumps the spirit of Sapporo players to play with all their might.

Until they can finally reduce the lag to 3-2 through Hiro's goal.

Then managed to equalize to 3-3 through Ryota's head header.

Until the magic returns to Sapporo, when Kobe's players are exhausted, Hiro still has a little more stamina to run.

"Come Hiro!! Give up all your strength!!" Hiro said to his heart to be sure of himself.

Hiro ran quickly from behind the opponent's defense by welcoming a pass from his partner.

Hiro easily snatched the wild ball and into the goal Kobe. All Kobe supporters fell silent. They did not expect that his team would lose 3-4 after a 3-1 lead.

Hiro, Ryota and all the Sapporo players celebrated in these last seconds. With this, they managed to qualify for the final round.

Sapporo players are crying happily thanks to this win. This was their first UFF Tournament, and they came up with makeshift preparations. But thanks to hard work, they are currently able to advance to the final round and surprise everyone.

...

In the final, the UFF tournament, Sapporo must meet again with Tokyo. Now a tough test must be faced.

In this match, also many scouts who saw the match. They monitor certain names to recommend to the professional clubs out there.

Hiro knows this. So he will not waste it. "Alright Hiro.., the second chance didn't come twice" Hiro murmured.

In the audience stands, there were two people who never let go of Hiro. The two men are Izumi and Darwin.

Izumi, still convinced that Sapporo can win, while Darwin still ensures the decision for a teenager named Hiro. Is Hiro worthy to play in a professional football club?

"Well Hiro, let's see if you're as good as you'd hoped" murmured Darwin.

...

When the fight begins. Of course, the heart of every player from both teams is very racing. Players from Tokyo realize that Sapporo they will fight this time is different from before.

This time Sapporo is a scary team after surprisingly making it to the final. Everything feels heavy because the burden of each player is different.

...

Priit!!

The final game begins. Players from Tokyo looked so tense and made a lot of mistakes. This is what Sapporo players use.

...

Throughout the game, Sapporo continued to dominate the game. In fact, they had a 1-0 lead through a goal from Hiro in the second half.

"Yeahy!! Hiro!!" In the audience stands, Izumi seemed the most pleased to be compared with other spectators. Even he was crying after Hiro's goal.

...

Priit!!

Time's over.

...

Beyond a doubt! Sapporo University won the tournament between universities throughout Japan.

Hiro's single goal led to a 1-0 win for Sapporo and made them champions in the Akbar Tournament.

In the stands, Darwin, who from the beginning kept his eye on Hiro's every move, was convinced by his performance in the Finals.

"Alright Hiro, it seems I'll give you a chance,"

Darwin rushed to the exit to intercept Hiro there when he left the field, and offered him a contract as a professional footballer. With a note, if Hiro wants to.

Darwin will give Hiro a chance to become a professional footballer. Darwin really hopes Hiro agrees with his offer because Hiro is a very talented player.

...

At the same time, Hiro was both happy and worried. He has a promise to keep to Izumi. However, Hiro already knew what he had to say to her.
