Well, no one really expected Makino to make a move so early, straight at the beginning of the second half. Both teams were still trying to play the tempo first, and even that Brazilian striker, Kleber, didn't intend to push forward at that moment.
For JEF United Chiba, this was just a preseason game. The most important thing to do here was to get their body back in their best state after a long holiday. As for trying hard to impress their coach… Well, the Brazilian striker didn't really need to do that, as he was the best player on the team.
That was why getting such rough treatment at the beginning of the game caught him off guard.
However, the same couldn't be said for Makino. After realizing that the tackle was successful, he got up immediately and roared, "HELL, YEAH!"
