The world of football was sent into chaos as Atletico Madrid announced the signing of Japanese wunderkind Takahashi Hiro in a jaw-dropping transfer that caught everyone off- guard.
It was a well-known fact that the top clubs in Europe were interested in signing Hiro after his magical spell at the World Cup.
However, beating all those clubs Atletico reigned supreme. It was a completely unexpected outcome, one that shocked the entire world.
The teenager, who rose to global stardom after electrifying World Cup performances, chose Atlético over heavyweights like Real Madrid, Manchester City, PSG, and Bayern Munich. Be it the home fans or the international fans, almost everyone was stunned by the outcome. Headlines related to the transfer flew everywhere. Everywhere one looked, Hiro was at the center of the attention. The news regarding Hiro's transfer was even more talked about than the likes of the transfer of Mbappe when he joined Madrid or Neymar when he joined PSG.
Well, it was an unexpected news that caught the world by storm. After all, even though the rumor regarding Hiro's transfer was already floating on the internet, the transfer saga wasn't finalized.
But now, when the news was finally made public, it sent the public and football pundits into a frenzy.
In Madrid, the Wanda Metropolitano was awash with excitement. Fans had gathered in droves outside the stadium, chanting and waving flags, their voices hoarse from hours of anticipation.
The streets leading to the club's headquarters were lined with vendors selling everything from jerseys bearing Hiro's name to samurai headbands in homage to his heritage.
Inside the stadium, the club president, Enrique Torres, held a press conference that was broadcast globally.
With a confident smile, he declared, "Atletico Madrid does not simply follow trends. We create them. Hiro is not just a signing; he's the beginning of a new legacy."
This news was broadcast globally, and a huge number of people were watching this broadcast. The moment, the president announced that Hiro was signing for their club, the entire world was left stunned.
It was one of the most anticipated transfers and Atletico had managed to pull it off.
The watching crowd erupted into roars as they heard the announcement, their eyes filled with excitement and their visage revealing jubilation.
Even though they had already finalized Hiro's signing before the World Cup, they had to wait until after the World Cup to make this announcement.
It was according to Hiro's wish.
He wanted the signing to be kept secret until the end of the season. He didn't want to disappoint the Kawasaki fans. Hence, he had made this condition.
But now, that the season had come to an end, there wasn't any need to keep the secret. Hence, after talking this through with the club, Hiro decided it would be the right moment to make the announcement.
Kawasaki was already made aware. Hence, the club officials didn't find this announcement shocking. But as for his teammates, they were left utterly stunned.
Even they weren't aware of this transfer.
Though they were aware that Hiro was approached by a lot of top-tier clubs in Europe, they weren't aware that he had already signed with one.
Hence, even they found this news shocking.
Ring! Ring! Ring!
Naoto heard his phone buzz. He was at his parent's place right now. The season had ended and he had returned home to spend time with family.
"Naoto, your phone's buzzing," Naoto's mother reminded him.
Naoto was currently helping her with the cooking at the moment. Though he had heard the buzzing phone, his hands were covered with flour.
So, even though he wanted, he couldn't pick up the call.
"Let it be, Mom. I'll pick it up later," Naoto answered while kneading the dough.
However, the phone kept buzzing, and it seemed like it wouldn't stop ringing until he picked up the call. This continuous ringing was getting on her nerves and she couldn't help but feel
annoyed.
"Go, pick up the call, I'll knead the dough," she said, her tone sounding slightly annoyed. With her insistence, Naoto couldn't ignore the call any further.
Heading to her insistence, he left the kneading and washed his hands before picking up the call. He was slightly annoyed because he wanted to enjoy his time here.
Cooking was something he found peaceful and he liked cooking.
"Just who is calling me at this hour?" Naoto mumbled, his tone slightly frustrated.
If he didn't pick up the call once or twice, the person calling him should understand that he's busy. Why must he/she have to keep on calling him continuously?
Is the person calling him retarded?
Thinking about this, he couldn't help but furrow his brows in annoyance.
Yet still, when he noticed the contact information of the person calling him, he let out a dejected sigh. It was Tatsuki Seko.
Well, now that he thought about it, the continuous ringing made sense, "Who else could it be other than him?"
He answered the call.
The moment he answered the call, he was bombarded by an excited voice, "DID YOU HEAR
ABOUT IT?"
Unable to keep up with the excited voice of Tatsuki, Naoto shoved the phone away and flinched. The voice was too loud for him to answer calmly.
However, he heard him fine.
So, he tried to calm him down first, "Calm down, first..."
Hearing him, Tatsuki slowed down, "Did you know it?"
"Know what?" Naoto asked, dumbfounded. He couldn't understand what he was talking
about.
It wasn't the response Tatsuki was expecting. So, he was a little taken aback as well. Hiro should have talked about him. So, why is he pretending like he didn't know?
Tatsuki couldn't figure out his reaction.
Then he answered with a stupefied expression, "Hiro signed for Atletico."
What? Hiro transferred?
