Twenty minutes into the second half, Hiroshi and the rest of the team are still reeling from the loss. Hiroshi laments the fact that Mizuki has carried the entire team on his back. He says that the crowd is in Hiroshi's favor because Mizuki is carrying the whole team. In fact, he says, Mizuki's heart is so high that if he can stop him, they can still win the game. The crowd is cheering for Hiroshi because he is the only one who can stop Mizuki, and they think that he is trying to squander his chance with a pass to Ingo. Indo, on the other hand, looks like a "little kid" next to him, and the crowd thinks that he's trying to "waste kazama." Hiroshi says that they should have played it safe with Mizuki and waited for him to catch up to him instead of giving him a chance to do so himself. He also says that he hasn't grown any at all since he kicked a ball as a kid again. He's finally tasted defeat, and he thinks that it's time to go for it.
