The Rise of the Iron Wall!

"COME FUCKING ON!" Higo roared immediately after getting up for the second time in the last ten seconds. "WAKE UP, GUYS! ARE YOU REALLY THAT DESPERATE TO LOSE THIS GAME OR WHAT?!"

His roar echoed throughout the whole stadium, making some people wince unconsciously. No one really thought that the young goalkeeper from Schalke’s side would be this fierce, not even holding back his curse even in the middle of the game.

Well... That was the least Higo cared for now, as his face was flushed red in anger. He was still panting heavily, glaring at any other Schalke players who dared to refute him. Fortunately, everyone knew what was good for them, just bowing their head quickly and giving the boy a panicked nod before going back to their own position.

While they might still think that the game was a lost cause, they couldn’t really show that in the middle of the game, right? That would only invite more criticism toward their professionalism, something that not a single player in the world wanted to face.

Higo himself just took a deep breath, still getting annoyed with this situation. Honestly, it was so ridiculous. The game had just been going for 40 seconds, and Higo was forced to do a double-save already. This showed that the team’s defense didn’t even pay attention to anything, getting truly caught off guard by this blitz attack.

His heart was still beating rapidly, but he had no luxury of time to let it cool down first. No, this was still a corner kick situation for Bayern Munich, and the threat here was no less dangerous than before. Hell, if anything, the boy somehow shivered out of nowhere, having just noticed that some of Bayern’s players started looking at him differently.

Yeah, if before they just didn’t care, knowing that they would win no matter what, this time, they looked at Higo with some curiosity. Oh, their arrogance was still there, but now, they also wanted to know what Higo had for them today.

’Damn, they are going to target me further! I have to be careful!’ He cursed inwardly.

Once the referee blew the whistle, Thiago Alcantara, the Spaniard maestro, sent a short pass to Benjamin Pavard. The French fullback didn’t waste too much time, delivering a good cross toward the box. He wanted to use Robert Lewandowski, who was being surrounded by so many players, as a bait, targeting Jerome Boateng, who was sneaking from behind.

However, once again, Higo read everything perfectly. In fact, he had already been preparing for this situation, where they used Lewandowski as a perfect bait to switch the ball to the opposite side. The boy didn’t even need to dive, just shifting his position a little toward the far post before jumping and plucking the ball in the air.

Thud!

Of course, with a great ambition since the ball was in his hand, Higo didn’t just stop with a catch. No, his eyes noticed Fabian on the left side of the pitch, and he kicked the ball with such a technique that it flew so quickly and flat in the air, going straight to the boy’s chest.

"OH! What a pass!"

"That goalkeeper is crazy! Who is he?!"

"I heard he is Asian! Is he a Korean or Japanese?!"

Unlike any other supporters, the one from Bayern could appreciate more when the opponent made a good play. This was just another example of their arrogance, believing that no matter how beautiful the play was constructed, it would never be enough to tear down Bayern’s defense.

Fabian himself received the ball perfectly, letting it fall to his right foot before starting to dribble forward. His eyes glanced toward the middle first, seeing that only two players were defending this counterattack.

In his naïve mind, the blonde winger started to scream in excitement, noticing that this was his chance to shine.

’If I push the ball a little bit far, but not close enough to the penalty box, maybe I can overwhelm them with speed! This is worth trying!’

With that thought in mind, he lowered his stance, intending to speed up. Unfortunately, the boy didn’t catch the movement behind him, clashing straight shoulder to shoulder.

BAM!

"ARGH!" Fabian cried as he was being thrown away from his spot. "REF! FOUL!" The winger shouted while also acting like he was in pain. He didn’t even know who the culprit was, just wanting to complain right now.

Unfortunately, the referee didn’t budge, just treating it as a normal collision. Fabian looked at the man incredulously, but when he saw the culprit in front of him, the boy couldn’t help but gulp, somehow getting intimidated.

The player was none other than Leon Goretzka, Bayern’s tank in the midfield. The man was not only tall, but his muscles were so big as if he were a bodybuilder. Not only that, but his speed was also rapid, managing to get on Fabian even though a moment ago he was just inside the penalty box.

With a single glare from the man, Fabian shut his mouth instantly, not daring to continue his pressure toward the referee. Thus, Schalke’s counterattack ended up prematurely as they couldn’t even get the ball into the home team’s penalty box.

’Damn! As expected, this is not going to be easy...’ Higo sighed helplessly, feeling like he was hoping too much for that counterattack.

After this, Bayern started to decrease the tempo, knowing that they didn’t need to rush things up. However, while doing that, they also started pushing their line slowly, cornering Schalke players in their own penalty box. Now, the away team looked like a pitiful prey, just waiting for the predator to pounce at them mercilessly.

Higo himself was also sweating bullets right now. He didn’t dare to lower his concentration, knowing that the opponent could kill him the moment he turned his head around.

Still, he forgot that Bayern was not a team that needed to wait for him to make a mistake. No, their firepower was already so strong in the first place, and they proved it straight away when Alphonso Davies suddenly broke through the right side of the pitch with speed.

’Fuck! What the fuck are you doing, Kenny?!’
