Pre-Match Buzz – Two Titans in White

Commentator:

"And it's official — Real Madrid U18 now fields not one, but two of the prodigies. Sae Itoshi, cold Genuis of shadows and control. And now, Valentino Rossi — formerly of Atlético — the orical with code-runed eyes. The transfer caught the world off guard for a 250million yen transfer fee , but He's here. And Bayern… well, they have Michael Kaiser."

You walk through the tunnel with heavy steps and a heavier mind.

Pink hair long side bangs ..blue eye and long lower lashes Sae Itoshi waits on the other side — no longer a striker chasing glory, but a mirror-like playmaker who reflects your flaws back to you and dismantles in the process. Cold. Still. Icy. He doesn't even look at you as your teams line up.

Behind him…

Valentino Rossi. Towering. Platinum blonde hair with ,brown mix in from the roots back to platinum blonde, amber eyes glowing faintly with something almost unnatural. The air around him feels like gravitational pressure — as if velocity itself slows near him.

This won't be like any match before.

This is war.my eyes flash blood crimson

Kick-Off – 00:34

The whistle blows.

The ball rolls.

The world sharpens.

Immediately, Real Madrid takes control. The rhythm is theirs — dictated by a cold conductor in midfield.

Itoshi Sae.

Step over Cruyff turn, into nutmeg then

He passes aren't just accurate — they rewrite the flow of the game. Varga tries pressing — gets pulled wide by a sudden tempo shift. Gets the ball back turned toe flick up 180 turn Scorpion flick over the head of

Ness as he attempts a read — but Sae's delay feint collapses the entire defensive structure in two touches. A simple pass and flick turns three Bayern players irrelevant.

Sae's control is surgical.

And a pass to their striker but is deflected of the keeper and shot forward by the defencive line

04:12 – Bayern Counter, Kaiser Touch

I step into the final third Top Proformance flow in use , ball flicked to me by Ness, finally breaking a line.over two stikers to

One touch.

Heel tap.

My instincts engage.

Gravity Shift

Boom

190kmh

Leg arches back and whips forward at high speed

> Kaiser Impact – Initiated.

Boom

Shot from the left channel. . Velocity: 265 km/h.

Rossi doesn't move.

He just steps.

His footwork is inhuman — not flashy, not exaggerated. One glide left. One elbow pull. Arms wide.

BOOM.

Hit to the ground bounce back to him and

Blocked.

Rossi's right hand slaps the ball midair, wrist stable like iron. His fingers didn't just meet the shot — they redirected fate. It flies past the post.

> Commentator:

"Michael Kaiser… denied! Valentino Rossi, welcome to the new era!"

I stare at him and grit my teeth

" I will score"

10:50 – Sae Turns Shadows Into Steel

Sae receives a lob from his left back. No touch trap.

Just a drag-back mid-air, slicing velocity into stillness.

Then — a single glance. Meta-vision

Our entire shape collapses.

Varga commits. Ness shifts left.

But Sae…

He steps forward into emptiness. And effortless

A no-look pass — like a dagger tossed behind him.

Our backline didn't even register the run.

Real Madrid striker slips between center backs.

Chip

Header.

GOAL.

> Score: 0 – 1

Assist: Sae Itoshi

You clench your fists. Sae looks up briefly. No smirk. No nod. Just a void where ambition once lived.

"So just like that they score and what about my team ,I will have to carry them for this but ...I cannot keep going like this I will lose if this continues "

15:23 – Duel in the Midfield

You drop deep to collect.

One cut.

Two feints.

Then: burst run — left foot touch, outside-inside.

Slips passed the midfield and

Sae waits.

I step toward him, daring him to press.

But he doesn't.

He mirrors. Adapts. My rhythm becomes his. Each step i take becomes weightless. He shadows me at perfect distance. Not allowing me to get, close enough since if I do he... will make a pass or a 2v1 play

I fake left.

He doesn't bite.

I fake right.

He closes your channel.

I pass sideways — but he's already there.

Interception.

He doesn't react like a victor. Just... resets the tempo again.

" How the hell am I gonna get it he is reading me like a ,book im not a defender but I can improvise"

Sae passes

before I can finish my thoughts

22:40 – Kaiser's Second Attempt

Ness wins a 1v1 duel near the right flank and chips it forward.

I sprint behind Sae, pulling defenders wide.

A clean lane opens.

Gravity Shift

Boom

200kmh

And I leap mid air

From a volley

> Kaiser Impact Magnus– Right Boot – 253 km/h

The ball explodes forward — air sizzles. Crowd rises. The ball goes far wide

"Commentator: did kaiser just miss.....no wait how is that possible it's curving"

At an impossible to believe arch and angle ball moves down to the bottom right corner

But Valentino Rossi doesn't flinch.

He dives after the ball's already gone — and still catches it. Or Like time bends for him.

His hand slaps it upwards.

Boom

It hits the side corner post.

Bounces to the other side.

He rolls — tried to grabs it mid-fall like an anime scene frozen in motion. But it's to late this irrational shot. And top side netting of the left post

Goal

> Commentator:

"Another Kaiser Impact... and again, blocked! Valentino Rossi — this is sorcery! No wait it's going to the post no.... back to the other side but Rossi can't change, now he is fully dived now.. and Goal"

I smile. He looks up at you from the ground…

And smiles.

" That's to the way the dessert Wraith ,plays I got inspiration for this shot

Score 1-1

Kaiser rebirth Impact or KIT for short rank X: allows user to use the curving control ,and bounce on rebound or on the ground to control, the trajectory to score or pass.

30:10 – Grim's Counter Nullified

A through ball lands at Grim's feet. Traps with chest.

He cuts inside. Fast. Sharp.

> Feint → Shoulder drop → Heel chop → Snap-shot!

Defenders close — too late.

Ball arches

But not Rossi.

He dives low, both hands wide like wings.

Boom. Saved.but before he could touch it a loud boom is heard

A figure infront of him while he is mid dive

Gravity Shift at 200kmh

Leg arches back at high speed

Boom

Kaiser impact Magnus to the post

Ting

The rebound returns — Grim charges again.

This time — a slide tackle from the Real CB intercepts him.

No mercy. No gaps.

But the Ness out of the blind spot take the ball and shoots.

Goal

Score 2-1

34:00 – Intensity Rises

We begin to press higher.

Sae doesn't panic.

He slows the game instead.

One pass.

Two touches.

A blind backheel to his right-back who overlaps unnoticed.

We're chasing ghosts.

Ness is visibly frustrated. Varga, silent.

I'm panting harder than usual. But I'm not done.

Sae cuts in and fake pass then feint then swish.

Boom

The ball curves with many defencers infront of him he shots with a .....

Curve Blind Shot

And with the goalkeepers version blocked before he realised, the ball was already a few centimetres into bottom left corner.

Goal

"Commentator: how with each effortless touch of play his presence elegant on the field, he is in the defence line of Bayern Munich , it looks like a shot from Sae wait how can he see through...all those bodies and legs and wait the goalkeeper he has been blocked... by his own teammates he can't see the danger....goooaaallll.

Score 2-2

41:13 – Kaiser's Fourth Shot

Ball stolen.

Grim passes it back to me.

20 yards out.

I don't think.

Many defencers shifting to face me.

> Kaiser Impact: Left Foot – 198 km/h – Straight Trajectory

With the dead angle to my advantage.

Rossi barely sees it.

But he reacts.

One foot plants.

Eyes glow spinning of codes

Dimension-Vision

He jumps forwards— not sideways — and catches it with both palms, absorbing the force bringing it to his chest like catching a baby.

How?

How did he read that?

Let alone how he stopped it.

The crowd doesn't even cheer.

They're stunned.

> Commentator:

"Four shots from Michael Kaiser — two saves from Valentino Rossi. This is not normal."

I bite my lip.

"He has been holding back this whole time , he just used his vision ability what about his flow .... Sae only used meta-vision and not his flow the second half will be war."

As the sweat drips from my face.

45:00 – Whistle Blows

Sae takes the final touch of the half — a diagonal drop pass to his left-back.

Whistle.

The first half ends.

Halftime Summary

Commentator:

"What we're witnessing is football at its purest, but also its cruelest. Sae Itoshi's frozen rhythm has turned Varga and Ness into statues. Michael Kaiser — four attempts, and 2 success and the rest no breakthrough. Valentino Rossi…almost flawless. And Real Madrid? Two chances, two goals. But bayern münch in the lead but will they keep the lead"

Score at Halftime:

Real Madrid U18 – 2

Bayern Munich U18 – 2

Kaiser's Internal Monologue – Closing Scene

I sit on the bench, towel around my neck, chest heaving.

They were right.

Sae doesn't play to dominate.

He plays to erase your meaning.

And Rossi?

He doesn't block your shots.

He invalidates them.

This is the hardest first half I've ever played.

And still…

I'm not afraid.

I scored 2 goals

And

I'm hungry.

For a third
