Chapter 209 Ultimate Showdown

December 11, 2022

Japan National Stadium, Tokyo

After yesterday's light snowfall, today the sky had cleared up to some extent and it had stopped snowing. Although there were still few lumps of grey cloud floating in the sky, most of the sky was painted with shades of pale blue colour.

As mesmerising as the sky above looked right now, the surface beneath looked even more amazing. Enveloped by light layer of snow from yesterday's snowfall, snow covered landscape was looking like some kind of winter wonderland.

Rays of the dimly lit sun which was hanging freely in the sky above, was further accentuating the beauty of the snow covered buildings, pathways and branches of trees by making them glow in golden colours.

Plop!! Plop!!

Slowly the snow gathered in branches of the trees planted beside the stadium were falling down because of the constant movement of the people who were walking towards the National Stadium.

Honk!! Honk!!

Chatter!! Chatter!!

Bustling with the noise of people of different age group, National Stadium of Japan also known as the Olympic Stadium where the final match between Kawasaki Frontale U-18 and Sagan Tosu U-18 was going to take place in a moment was coming alive today.

Not only the Stadium space, even the space and pathways outside the stadium was currently occupied by countless people.

"I never imagined that these many people would come to watch the match today."

"Why is the queue not moving?"

"Who do you think will win today?"

Such were the concerns of the people who were standing in the queue right now.

Some irritated because of the long queue, some excited about the match, some sad that their team didn't make it to the final, every kind of emotion could be seen in the National Stadium of Japan right now.

Carrying the banner and flags of the respective team, people were excitedly walking towards the ticket counter.

And judging by the amount of banners and flags, it seemed like most of the supporters present were supporters of Kawasaki.

Not only were there hardcore supporters of both teams, there were even some fan groups.

Mostly consisting of girls, they were carrying huge banner with Hiro's picture imprinted in it.

Not sure if Hiro was aware of this or not, but he had amassed quite a number of fan girls because of his pretty face.

"Yutaka I heard that you were quite close with Hiro, so are you here today to support him?" Asked a boy who was accompanying Yutaka.

Yutaka along with some of his teammates had travelled to the venue today to watch the match. Although he was a bit regretful and sad that he didn't make it to the final and failed to fulfill his part of the promise, he was still genuinely happy for Hiro.

"He's my friend. So obviously I'm here to cheer him and his team." Replied Yutaka.

Just like Yutaka, many other players who hadn't made it to the finals were also present in the venue today to witness the ultimate showdown between the East League champions and West League champions.

"As you can see right now guys, behind me is the crowd of people who are here today to witness the match between Kawasaki Frontale U-18 and Sagan Tosu U-18" a guy who was performing a live broadcast right now announced to his viewers.

Many small time and big time Newtubers were also present in the Stadium today to broadcast the match in their Newtube channel.

Not only players and Newtubers but even some celebrities had come to the venue to watch the final match between two giants of U-18 football in Japan.

"This is Himawari from NBC news. And right now I'm in Japan National Stadium to cover the match between Kawasaki Frontale U-18 and Sagan Tosu U-18. The most awaited match between the champions of East League and West League is happening today."

"And as you all can see the queue behind me is pretty long and the atmosphere around the stadium is pretty lively. Even so the players haven't arrived yet."

Carrying their cameras and microphone, many reporters were also present in the venue, live broadcasting the scene taking place in the stadium right now.

Some interviewing the supporters while some speaking about the details, it was evident that almost the entire nation was interested in the match happening today.

The match was going to take place at 11 AM. And it was only 9:30 right now.

Despite there being more than an hour left, people were still continuing to swarm the venue. It was quite rare to see such huge number of people arriving at the venue that early.

Even many professional J-league matches didn't have this many people coming to watch their matches.

After half an hour, a huge white bus with the logo of Sagan Tosu club arrived at the venue.

Noticing the arriving bus, supporters of Sagan Tosu erupted in joyous cheers.

"Go boys! You can do it"

"Show them your powers boys"

"As you can see guys, Sagan Tosu U-18 are the first team to arrive in the venue today." Announced one of the Newtuber to his audience in live broadcast.

And as the bus moved forward, it only found it difficult to enter the venue.

Because of the crowd of people swarming infront of the entrance, that bus was finding it difficult to enter the venue. It was pretty much stuck in the crowd.

However to let them enter the venue, some guys dressed in guard uniform immediately headed towards the direction of the bus.

They then started to disperse the crowd to make way for the bus.

And only when they started to disperse the crowds did the bus got the chance to move forward.

Just when the bus was about to reach the entrance, some players of Sagan Tosu excitedly took their head out of the window to greet their supporters.

However they were immediately forced to pull their head inside as they were scolded by their coaches for their act of impudence.

"Don't take your head out of the window. And keep your window closed. If I again find any of you taking your head out of the window, I'm going to drop your from the team today." Furiously roared the coach of Sagan Tosu after seeing the childish behaviour of his players.
