After the goal celebration ended, Manchester United started kick-off again. After the kick-off was done, they immediately launched an attack. However, Southampton lined up so neatly that Manchester United's players struggled to break into the penalty box. After judging that there was no more time, Paul Scholes finally took a long shot from outside the penalty box. Too bad, Dean Smith caught the shot easily.
The referee sounded the long whistle, signaling the end of the match. The Manchester United players immediately fell on the field. Some of them wept, while others looked down sadly. Last season, Manchester United also failed to win the league championship because they lost to Chelsea, the club that made them fail was Manchester City. Now they failed again, Manchester United failed to overtake Liverpool because they failed to beat Southampton.
This is certainly a sign that Manchester United's brilliant era under Sir Alex Henderson was starting to fade. With the rise of Manchester City and Liverpool seemingly coming back from the grave, the Premier League will be increasingly difficult for Manchester United to continue their dominance.
Meanwhile, Kazuki managed to score 17 goals and 6 assists in just less than half a season. Maybe if he played a full season then Kazuki would destroy the record for most goals scored in a debut season which was still held by Kevin Phillips, Sunderland 1999-2000. Even so, the achievements made by Kazuki were undeniably something very extraordinary.
Even the British media who often glorify their young players admit that Kazuki's appearance this season was a very sensational debut season. Even with Kazuki's performances in this half-season, Kazuki was one of the young players who had the potential to win the golden boy in 2012. Now, people were just waiting whether Kazuki's performance this season will be maintained next season?
While Southampton was drowning in their euphoria, suddenly an incident caught everyone's attention in the stadium. Manchester United coach, Sir Alex Henderson suddenly fell, the assistant coach of Manchester United immediately approached Sir Alex. His expression changed, he immediately signaled to the officials to call an ambulance that was ready at the side of the stadium to enter here. Manchester United's medical team immediately surrounded Sir Alex.
The ambulance immediately approached the Manchester United bench. The Manchester United medical team immediately carried Sir Alex into an ambulance. The situation in the stadium was immediately quiet, the crowd whether it was Manchester United or Southampton fans were not clear what had happened. They were worried about Sir Alex's condition. After all, Sir Alex Henderson is a legend in this Premier League.
At the press conference, the assistant coach explained that Sir Alex had suffered a heart attack. He asked for prayers from all parties to support Sir Alex. Sir Alex's exact condition is uncertain, but the assistant coach is optimistic about Sir Alex's condition. After the match ended, the focus of the media changed from reporting on Liverpool, who won the 2011/2012 Premier League season to Sir Alex's condition.
The day after Southampton's match against Manchester United ended. Sir Alex's condition is stable. Although Sir Alex's condition was declared fine. However, with Sir Alex's condition, it is highly recommended for him to stop being the coach of Manchester United. This season will probably be Sir Alex's last season at Manchester United.
The condition of Manchester United fans was getting worse. After their team failed to win the Premier League then their legendary coach will now retire. Obviously, it made the Manchester United fans slump. Especially with the presence of Liverpool fans who always flood the posts of Manchester United fans with one word, 93.20. It was the time when Kazuki scored a goal.
This slump made some fanatical fans look for a scapegoat for all the misfortunes received by their favorite club. That person was Kazuki. Kazuki's social media account was attacked by several fanatical fans so that every post was filled with insults and insults. This incident immediately made legends and Manchester United players defend Kazuki. After all, Kazuki was only fighting for his current club, which was Southampton.
The people who were on Manchester United's side didn't want Kazuki to hate Manchester United because of the actions of the fanatical fans. That's why they spoke up and told the fanatical fans to stop their actions.
Regardless of the ongoing controversy out there. Kazuki himself started preparing to return to Japan. The main reason is that the Japanese national team called him in the 2014 world cup qualifiers in the fourth round of the AFC zone. Actually, with the current Japanese national team squad, without even calling Kazuki they will win. Moreover, the quality of the Japanese national team in Asia is very good. However, it would be controversial if Kazuki who had been playing very well was not called up by the Japanese national team.
Apart from that, the other reason was to meet his mother. Even though Kazuki didn't want to meet his father, hearing his mother cry asking Kazuki to visit him made the young Japanese man helpless.
Two days before Kazuki left for Japan. Furochi made a call to him. Kazuki had already guessed that Furochi would certainly make a call. However, the English Premier League summer transfer window had been opened. Even though Kazuki had stated that he would not transfer to another club, but there would undoubtedly be a club that would try to seduce Kazuki.
Kazuki picked up his cell phone and said to Furochi, "Is it about another transfer? Didn't I tell you to just refuse all closed talk about my transfer? I don't care if it's Sir Alex or Mourinho, I don't want to talk about transfers at the moment."
[I know you don't want to move right now, I respect your choice, but a little transfer news is actually good for raising your salary. Southampton board would accept a higher salary raise if there was any transfer news about you.]
Kazuki was silent, he knew that Furochi wanted to use transfer pressure to bargain about Kazuki's salary again. However, at this time Kazuki had already completed his contract renewal with Southampton, his salary at Southampton was already the largest, there was no need to raise the salary any higher. For Kazuki the salary was just a status symbol, having the highest salary meant Southampton had recognized the importance of Kazuki to the team and this was enough for Kazuki.
Therefore, he immediately raised his voice then said, "Don't use such things, I don't need them."
[Wait, we can still get—]
Kazuki hung up the call, with an annoyed face he put his cell phone on the table. From the kitchen, Shiraishi walked out while wearing an apron. She had just cooked some food for Kazuki. She put on a confused face then asked Kazuki, "I heard your voice just now, what's the problem?"
Kazuki smiled gently as he said, "It's nothing, I'm just a little annoyed."
Shiraishi was silent for a while before saying again, "What is my father? If he gets into trouble with you, just say so. I will scold him. That old man always crosses the line sometimes if you don't scold him."
Hearing Shiraishi's words, Kazuki decided to be honest. He told what Furochi said that made Kazuki feel irritated.
Shiraishi nodded his head, "Do you mind if I replace my father and become your agent? With my father's nature, one day he will cross the line that you have set. Even though I have never been a football player's agent, but I can still learn it. Step by step."
In fact, many football players choose their families as agents. One example is Mattheo's father, who became an agent for his son. Now Kazuki and Shiraishi's relationship was getting closer. Kazuki felt more comfortable if this woman replaced Furochi to be his agent.
Kazuki stood up and approached Shiraishi. He then brought his face closer and looked down at her face. Their eyes stared at each other. A few seconds later, he lowered his face and kissed Shiraishi's lips. The girl didn't refuse Kazuki's kiss. Instead, she returned the kiss while wrapping her arms around Kazuki's neck.
Kazuki moved his hand from Shiraishi's back towards the girl's butt. He then squeezed it. Kazuki then said, "I want to eat something else."

The journey from England to Japan took a long time. Fortunately, Kazuki managed to land at Narita airport, Tokyo safely. It had been a long time since Kazuki had set foot in this country. It was undeniable that Kazuki began to miss the Japanese atmosphere, even though he had adapted to life in England.
Even though Kazuki intended to visit his mother. However, he did not intend to stay there. Therefore, he immediately booked a hotel together with Shiraishi. At first, Kazuki wanted to take Shiraishi to meet his parents but, considering his father's nature, he knew that bringing Shiraishi was a bad idea. So he went to his parents' residence alone.
With such a large amount of money, Kazuki's father didn't live in a luxurious house like most people. His father and mother live in a traditional Japanese house. The house has a very large yard. Although it looks traditional, but the house is well maintained, many helpers take care of the house every day.
Kazuki visited the house at night. He came with Shiraishi's car. The gatekeeper opened the gate carefully and let the car that Kazuki was driving in. They seemed to have known about the arrival of their bosses' son.
After finishing parking the car, Kazuki walked down from the vehicle. He saw the figure of an adult woman who immediately walked quickly towards him. The woman spread her arms and hugged Kazuki tightly. She then burst into tears, saying, "My son, I miss you so much. I'm so glad you came back safely."
Kazuki returned his mother's hug and said, "I missed you a lot too, mom."
After a while, his mother let go of the hug. She wiped the tears from her eyes with a small smile. Even though she is in her 40s, she still maintains her beautiful face. Kazuki was guessing how much money his Mother had spent caring for his face so that it still maintained such a beauty.
"Come on in, your father will be home soon."
Kazuki nodded, he followed his mother into the house.
While waiting for his father to come home. Kazuki's mother asked various questions about Kazuki's life in England. Of course, Kazuki told things in as much detail as possible. He talked about his friends, how Kazuki strove to achieve this kind of feat, and other things. Except for [Dream Training]. [Dream Training] was something that Kazuki wouldn't tell anyone about.
While chatting about many things, time passed quickly. Finally, Kazuki's father returned home. Knowing her husband had arrived, Kazuki's mother immediately welcomed the husband's arrival. Kazuki walked after his mother behind and saw the figure of the father he had not to meet for so long.
Kazuki's mother said softly, "Welcome, Honey."
Kazuki's father nodded in response to his wife's words. His eyes then fell on Kazuki.. Moments later, an atmosphere of silence suddenly appeared in this family gathering.
