June 25th, 1997
Internazionale Vs. Juventus
Italian League - Last Round
Half time
A thoughtful young man is sitting on a bed in the infirmary in
the San Siro Stadium. Ten minutes ago, his lifeless body was facing
the grass.
<I should know better than to put my head in front of the ball
when Hyuga performs his Tiger Kick. > he thinks. < But nooooo. We are
losing 3-2, and I couldn't let Kojiro score again. >
He looks at himself. His number 10 black-and-blue shirt is
ripped at the left sleeve, like a remembrance of how Hiei grabbed his
arm when he tried to score. < Hiei is a warrior everywhere. But he
forgets that there are rules in soccer. >
<I won't lose, or my name isn't Nicholas Urameshi. >
-- Better, Urameshi-kun? -- The childlike face of Shingo Aoi
appears at the door.
-- Better and ready for action, Aoi-kun. And warn Ronaldo.
We'll need to use the Triple Kick...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
All the black-and-blue fans are relieved as Internazionale's
number 10 comes back to the field.
-- Hey, guys, look! -- A injured Kazuma Kuwabara shouts from
the grandstand -- Nicholas is back!
-- Are you sure, Kuwabara? -- Yusuke says.
-- Look by yourself, idiot. He's back!
-- Yahoo! -- Botan jumps in the air -- He's alive!
-- Don't be fool, Botan -- Yusuke mumbles -- That shot can't
kill. Not my cousin.
Nicholas Urameshi looks at Hiei and Kojiro. < This time,
Kojiro and Hiei, I'll win. Or I won't get back to the Japan Team... >
The whistle blows and the second half starts. Nicholas shouts
something in Portuguese that only Ronaldo and Shingo understand.
Shingo gets the ball and dribbles past almost all of the Juventus
team.
Hiei gets closer.
-- Don't think you gonna pass by me, Shingo! -- Hiei shouts.
-- Who, me? -- Shingo says, innocently, while he passes the
ball to Urameshi.
Nicholas carries the ball towards the goal when Kojiro appears
in front of him. Nicholas stops, put the ball between his feet and
jumps above Hyuga's head. The desperate Juventus goalie runs towards
upside-down flying Nicholas. Ronaldo and Shingo run towards the goal
and jump. The flying trio kicks the ball at the same time, performing
the Triple Kick. The ball passes by the fearful goalkeeper and hit the
net. The scoreboard shows: Internazionale 3-3 Juventus.
Kojiro is in shock. < How did I let them score again like
that? Twice! What's happening? >
-- What's fucking wrong with you, Hyuga? -- Hiei, Juventus'
left back yells -- We've got to score another goal to take the
advantage!
-- Sure... -- Hyuga mumbles, uneasy -- Hiei, the same play,
again.
-- Will you do the Tiger Shot again?
-- Yes... Pagliuca won't stop the ball this time...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Kojiro passes the ball high to Hiei. He runs wildly in the
left side of the field, nobody stopping him. He passes the ball to
Kojiro. Hyuga stops the ball and moves back his right leg, raising it.
-- Pagliuca! -- Nicholas shouts to the Inter's goalie -- Tiger
Shot, again!
Hyuga shoots. The ball quickly goes towards the upper left
corner of the goal. Pagliuca jumps. The ball connects to the goalie's
left hand. The ball goes off the field while Pagliuca cries painfully.
Ronaldo gets closer to Pagliuca.
-- Pagliuca, did you break your arm?
-- I... think... so... Call... Gino...
-- He broke his arm, Nick! -- Ronaldo shouts to Nicholas --
Hernandez must enter!
-- I heard, Ronaldo -- Gino Hernandez shouts from the bench --
I'm going!
-- And so am I! -- A loud Italian voice comes from outside the
field. Roberto Baggio!
-- Baggio! -- Hyuga shouts -- What happened? I thought you
were sick!
-- Not anymore! I'm ready to play!
Every fan in black-and-white in the stadium shouts happily.
Their number 10 is back.
-- Gulp! The situation thickens... -- Shingo says, fear in his
voice.
-- Don't get afraid, Shingo. -- Nicholas tries to tranquilize
the young number 20. -- We won't give up.
Roberto Baggio gets the ball to the corner of the field. The
wristle blows, Baggio kicks the ball towards the left post. Hiei runs
from outside the great box and heads the ball to the net.
Internazionale 3-4 Juventus, 30 minutes passed in the second half.
-- Mamma mia -- Gino, on the ground, mumbles -- I didn't
anticipate the play!
-- Get up, Gino -- Nicholas says to Hernandez -- The fate of
this game is in your hands and in Ronaldo's feet.
-- Why you are saying Ronaldo in particular?
-- He hasn't scored for three matches. He must score now.
-- Urameshi, you are really a good captain.
--Thanks. Remember, you must hold the ball or we are going to
lose.
-- Let it all in my hands, Nick.
Nicholas gets thoughtful. < And now? How to break into their
defense and pass the ball to Ronaldo in good condition so he can
score? Juventus are expecting me to use Shingo again... I need to
break through the defense now. >
Inter Milan kicks off. Nicholas receives the ball, and faces
Kojiro.
< How will you pass by me now, Urameshi? >, Hyuga thinks.
Nicholas stops the ball.
< May Garrincha give me the inspiration... >
Nicholas throws his body to the left, and then to the right,
moving the ball. Hyuga closely follows Nicholas' movements. Nick
throws his body to the right, to the left, to the left again... and
pass through an half-dizzy Hyuga by his right. He punts the ball to
the left. Hiei runs for the ball, but Shingo reaches it first,
kicking the ball towards the goal. But suddenly the ball makes a
curve, cheating Juventus' goalkeeper, reaching Ronaldo's bald head in
the air and making its way to the goal. Internazionale 4-4 Juventus,
40 minutes passed in the second half.
Baggio can't believe his own eyes. Nicholas Urameshi has just
done a play that, as his father told, only Garrincha could do.
< Incredible... Magic... > is the only thought he can formulate at the
moment.
-- Wow! -- Shingo exclaims -- How did you do that dribble,
Urameshi-kun?
-- Would you believe I don't know?
-- Breaking news, people -- Hernandez says -- AC Milan lost in
Parma. This draw makes us the champions!
-- Will we hold this result, or try to score one more goal,
Captain Urameshi? -- Ronaldo asks.
-- Let's play in defense and try a counterattack. That's the
only thing we can do in the five minutes we have.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Juventus kicks off. Baggio receives.
-- The ball is yours, Kojiro! -- Juventus' captain shouts,
punting the ball to Hyuga.
-- Yeah! -- Kojiro yells. Hyuga gets the ball and starts a
wild run towards the goal. No one can stop him. He prepares for a
Tiger Shot.
-- We are the champions, Hernandez! -- Kojiro yells again. He
kicks. The ball goes towards the goal. But Hernandez puts his hands
together and manages to punch the ball. Ronaldo receives the ball,
breaks through the defense and scores. The game is over.
Internazionale 5-4 Juventus. Hernandez, Ronaldo, Shingo and Nicholas
are the Italian champions...
