Chapter 617: The Opening Match II
Upon the announcement, the room fell silent. All of their attention converged on the screen while the opening ceremony began to take place.
Different colors merged to create a breathtaking masterpiece as the screen lit up. The
audience stared at the scene in awe.
Famous personalities popped one after another, entertaining the audience and the viewers.
For some while, the stadium continued to buzz with excitement.
Finally, after about more than two hours, the opening ceremony drew to an end. However, until the end, the audience was kept thoroughly entertained.
"Now, let us welcome the president of FIFA."
The announcement rang, the stadium speaker bombarding the announcement.
At that moment, all the spotlight converged at one point- the entrance of the stadium. One after another, people began to come out of the entrance while the audience converged their eyes on the entrance with anticipating eyes.
"Isn't it the moment they bring the cup out?" Tatsuki whispered, his gaze fixated on the
screen.
Just then, a bald individual with a withered face dressed elegantly in a suit entered the field from the entrance. Upon seeing the appearance of the bald individual, the audience rumbled with excitement and anticipation.
Seeing the appearance of the bald individual, Hiro slightly lifted his eyebrows.
'Does he not age at all?'
Hiro thought, looking at him. Even before he regressed, the bald individual looked the same as he did now. It was almost as if he had stopped aging.
'Despite facing numerous allegations, he remained the president of FIFA even until the time I regressed. Just how was he able to hold his position that long?'
While everybody was enjoying the event, Hiro was pondering.
That man on the screen had dictated the position of the president of FIFA even until Hiro's regression. Thus upon seeing him on the screen, Hiro couldn't stop pondering about the tactics he had used during his regime.
After taking the stage, the bald individual began to deliver some kind of speech. With the years of experience he had under his wing, he immediately captivated the hearts of people in the venue.
Even the viewers weren't spared.
The speech was simply exhilarating and catchy.
For a while, he began to talk about the importance and history the World Cup carried with itself. Then he began to talk about the previous winners and the notable individuals that had emerged from the tournament.
'Then why is he even participating in the tournament?'
Hiro once again couldn't help but ponder.
It wasn't only Ronaldo who was participating in the tournament. But even Messi was participating in it despite having won the cup.
Hiro felt curious about their participation.
Hiro could tell that Ronaldo was still aiming for the title. But Messi had already earned it. So,
why was he participating?
'It must be the Argentine people.'
Hiro concluded.
After all, the people there still wanted to watch their GOAT play. Also, Messi could still
perform well even though he was old.
While different thoughts were perking up in Hiro's mind, the match had already started. One thought led to the next and the next to the other.
Hiro had been trapped in a loop.
"Hiro, the match is starting," Kein said, nudging him slightly.
Kein's somewhat gentle voice pierced his eardrums waking Hiro from his reverie, and
bringing him back to reality.
"Oh...."
Hiro murmured, composing himself.
"What were you thinking about?" Kein inquired. He had noticed the aloof state of Hiro.
"Maybe, he was imagining lifting the Cup, haha..." Tatsuki chuckled.
"Yeah, yeah and you scored the winning goal," Hiro responded sarcastically with a solemn
expression.
"Shhhh! Quit talking. The match is starting," Naoto reminded.
With that, they diverted their attention to the screen. The match was between the USA and
South Korea.
