In the end, the game the next day turned out to be way easier than everyone initially thought.
Knowing that the opponent was wounded, Hakodate took the initiative to control the game from the beginning. It was definitely an improvement compared to the past, when they only had Takaaki as the control tower in the center.
Now, with the presence of Kenji, who liked to drop back slightly to get more ball—everyone knew he just wanted to get the most attention—and the twins, who were willing to help the center, they had a more solid midfield line, able to control the tempo of the game flawlessly.
