551  Press Conference II

With a steady composure, Nanami began, "Before responding to the question you asked, I want to ask you something. Did you watch the full match?"

"Yes, I did," Nishida answered firmly. "You must be lying"

Nishida had actually watched the match in full. So, when Nanami called him a liar, it didn't sit well with him. With a slightly flustered tone, he responded gruffly, "I had watched the match in detail. From the moment Minamino scored to the Tatsuki's goal. I have watched the entire match. But what does it have to do with the question I asked you?"

"You could have also watched highlights instead? How can I tell that you didn't watch the match highlights to prepare for the conference?"

Every sentence Nanami spoke was getting on his nerves. But since he was a professional reporter, he couldn't bring himself to show that anger on his face. So, despite feeling frustrated, he remained composed. "Let's say I haven't watched the match. But what relation does my watching the match have to do with the question I asked?" although he made it appear as if he retracted a step yet still he charged at him with full force.

Nanami, however, didn't appear to be in intention of backing down either. Then a cold gleam flashed past his eyes as he said steadily, "If you had seen the entire match then you wouldn't be asking this question to me right now. From the moment Hiro earned a booking, you could have felt his thirst for the goal."

"If I as a coach had subdued his desire then how could I bring myself to call as a coach? As a coach, your responsibility is to allow the players an opportunity to grow."

Nishida stood rooted at his spot with a stupefied expression on his face as he heard Nanami's words. There was some punch to his reasoning. But how could he bring himself to accept it? Nishida was unwilling to accept his reasoning. However, before he could bring himself to refute, another person stood up with a follow-up question. With a calm demeanor, Nanami answered all their question earnestly. Usually, he would only take a few questions. But today, he answered one after another. Even the reporters felt a bit strange about it. "So, can you tell us how long will Hiro be out?" Upon hearing the question, Nanami rolled his eyes at the backstage. Then he answered firmly, "Why don't you ask about it himself?"

Earlier they were told that Hiro wouldn't participate in the conference. But now when they heard such a remark from Nanami, curiosity and anticipation surged in the room. Hiro's here? As the reporters began to discuss among themselves, it got noisy. Just then Hiro entered the stage. A commotion rose in the conference room as they saw his appearance. They were surprised to see him there. At the same time, they were excited beyond measure. Finally, they could get to interview the man of the moment. All of a sudden the once peaceful room was plunged into madness. The camera flashed continuously while at the same time, the reporters began to raise their voices. It seemed as if they had forgotten their etiquette. As for Hiro, he didn't show any drastic change in his expression. Maintaining a calm demeanor, he assumed his seat. "Everyone please be seated."

The staff urged the reporters to remain seated as right now the reporters were competing among themselves to get Hiro's attention. Had they been informed about Hiro's arrival beforehand, it might not be this chaotic. However, since they weren't informed about it they couldn't help but make a fuss out of it. Finally, after a while, the room quietened down and returned to its previous calm. But you could vividly see the excitement on the faces of the reporters. They appeared as if they were in a supermarket competing for the item in sale. 'Seems like I thought too highly of them' Hiro thought with a nervous smile on his face. "We'll be taking questions now."

No sooner had the representative finished speaking than the reporters raised their arms. You could vividly see the eagerness in their eyes. Witnessing their enthusiasm, Nanami let out a subtle sigh, "Sigh! Do these bunches not get tired?"

Answering their question one after the other, he had hoped to drain their energy to make it easier for Hiro. But seeing their enthusiasm, he felt that he had only drained himself. Observing the conference from a spectator perspective, Hiro was much aware of the personality of the reporters present before him. So, he didn't feel burdened to choose the person he felt much easier to handle. Scanning through the people before him, Hiro found something strange, 'Even those foreigners are stepping up?'

There were two reporters of foreign origin in the room. But previously they didn't stick out their arms until the end. It almost made it seem as if they weren't interested in interviewing Nanami. One was a lady reporter with brownish hair while the other was a blond guy with aqua eyes. Seeing those raised arms, Hiro couldn't help but feel curious. He felt curious about their purpose of visit. It wouldn't be merely to talk about the insignificant match. So, what could it be?

Even before they didn't ask much. "Yes, you over there," Hiro pointed at the lady reporter with brownish hair who was dressed beautifully in formal attire comprising of a white shirt and maroon blazar. "Thank you for providing me the opportunity to speak," said the female reporter in English. As she spoke, a stern-looking man beside her was about to interpret what she said. But before he could bring himself to interpret her words, Hiro interrupted him, "Yes, what would you like to talk about?" n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The lady appeared surprised and impressed for a brief moment but she immediately composed herself. The reaction of other people present in the room was almost similar. They were surprised to hear Hiro speak fluent English. "In a recent interview, Eric your agent had said that you've received a lot of offers from clubs across Europe among which Manchester United are one."

Many of the reporter's mouths opened wide as their eyes jolted to Hiro, displaying utter shock.
