chapter 670: unveiling ceremony
madrid, spain.
the stadium was a cauldron of emotion. colorful lights flickered and the stadium was lit with the electrifying roar of atletico supporters.
a sea of supporters clad in red and white striped jerseys buzzed, their chatter filling the stadium.
on the ground, a stage had been set to welcome their newest signing. huge led screens had been set up and the stadium speakers were bombarding lively music to make the atmosphere even livelier.
outside the stadium, more and more people were arriving. flocking inside the stadium, the crowd had jammed the traffic, and the street was swarming with people.
security personnel were stationed outside to manage the crowd.
"it's time, hiro," pablo said arriving inside the room where hiro was waiting for the signal.
for a while, he had been waiting. he had put on light makeup and was dressed in the white and red striped jersey of atletico.
however, he hadn't been assigned a number yet.
hearing pablo's call, hiro stood up and turned to look at him, "pablo, is it crowded?"
"what do you think?"
hiro was unaware of the swarm of people awaiting him. however, he could tell that a few thousand people would have shown up.
"maybe a few couple thousand," hiro answered.
hearing hiro's estimation, pablo couldn't help but grin. he couldn't help but imagine hiro's response after seeing the crowd of people outside.
after all, the number of people outside had even surpassed his expectations.
"then you're in for a surprise," pablo grinned.
before heading out, hiro made sure everything was right. he looked himself in the mirror and smoothened the creases. the stylist responsible for styling him performed a few finishing touches, making sure everything was in place.
hiro was aware that he wasn't a local star but an international star right now.
after crossing 20 million followers on instagram, he stopped counting his follower count too. well, the account was managed by ayumi, his manager, so, he didn't have anything to worry about it.
however, after his rise in popularity, he was flooded with brand deals. most he avoided but some he couldn't. yet still, hiro found the features of instagram rather satisfactory. mainly because he didn't have to act like he had to do with the commercials.
he could simply pose for a photo and post it.
this to him was rather convenient.
feeling the growing buzz, hiro inhaled deeply before advancing. for some reason, those few steps in the tunnel felt more sharper than ever.
it was as if he could hear those steps audibly despite the buzz going around him. those steps felt heavier too.
finally, he reached the end of the tunnel, the sharp light from outside penetrated his vision and made him squinch.
boom!
loud music echoed throughout the stadium as hiro stepped outside the tunnel. at the same time, the crowd erupted into roars.
a deafening roar reverberated around the stadium, sending waves, and shaking every nook and canny of the stadium.
sparks flew as the firecrackers were lit, making the event even more mesmerizing and grand.
the viewer count skyrocketed the moment hiro stepped inside the stadium. the fans outside buzzed with joy, their face lit with elation.
having won, the award of the young player of the tournament in the recent world cup, the buzz surrounding hiro was great and he was the most searched individual.
many people were already predicting him to win the golden boy award.
outshining the likes of yamada, who had come in second in the recent golden ball ranking, hiro had been nothing but exceptional.
though they didn't manage to win the whole tournament, hiro had been an impressive player. previously unknown, hiro was like a breakout superstar who emerged from nowhere.
this sort of thing excited the football fans, and it didn't take them long to dig out his history and present scenario.
with his brilliant performance in the league, hiro's popularity had soared even more.
