Damn Akutsu, what a bully

Bruh Akutsu is acting like a villain lol. I don't mind his trash talking. Who cares. But purposely falling on Aoi was shitty behaviour.

The scene at the start with everyone talking about their dreams was great. I can relate to that.

The one touch passes reminded me of Tiki-Taka <3 Força Barça!
Also, I didn't expect that ending. That was surprising.
I hope the Candidates at least score a goal!

So far this has exceeded my expectations.

Oh and Hana pouting was cute.

Damn. That man Akutsu reminds me that one teammate in our basketball club that always acting like a jerk to us just because he's better at playing. I love how realistic this anime is. You know, in the world of sports and athletes, you need to be strong physically and mentally because there are really people out there that is willing to pull you down and make you quit. It's not always friendly so you need to be determinated and strong willed cuz if you're easily swayed by others, you will not survive. I love the play. I like Ashito he's a good mc. Im also liking all the characters so far (yup including Akutsu). Cool episode. I want more.

Just the third episode, and we got our first douchebag, no the second one. And damn they have a knack of going after Aoi. Also tbh they lost so many opportunities in the starting of first half, if only one of those were converted into goal.

Welp no redeeming Akutsu for me after that showing words are one thing but cheap shots are another for sure, not a huge fan of writing that uses characters like that but it's effective I guess, I certainly don't like him.

Cool episode. Exciting and fun. I feel like football is really hard to play. Akutsu... I didn't expect ao ashi to have that kind of character lol but anyway he's interesting and I wanna see him more. I like that it's not very friendly which is true and realistic. This anime becoming more and more interesting as it goes on.

After 3 episodes I can clearly say that it is another sports anime but it doesnt feel like a football anime

They're trying too hard to make me hate Akutsu, so I can't help but give him a free pass - for now...
I know right, the worse they make him off to be the more I bet on him being a cool character.

Ah yes, barcelona style Tiki Taka. A strategy that haunts the nightmares of every defender. Nice to see a break down to really appreciate just how difficult it is to properly pull off.

That dude is definitely a dick but at the same time our MC does need a good humbling. Glad to see him picking himself back up at the end. Bruised and broken ribs are temporary but soccer glory is eternal!

The utter disrespect at the end, man.

I'm not sure how Aoi will get out of this one, but he'll do it somehow.

That ending was such a great plot twist! They're struggling so much to beat the youth team, but that team is not even playing their usual positions (except the goalie of course).

Loving the focus on mentality on mindset during the matches. Often an overlooked aspect but a really important factor during matches.

This is an amazing sports anime masterpiece, which opened up and increased my knowledge, especially in terms of football, now I as an observer found Ashito in Trent Alexander Arnold (an English footballer) playing for the Liverpool club, before I didn't really mind it, but after seeing this anime I feel that my view of football is the same as the character "Anri" in this anime which is oriented towards strengthening the midfield, and now I know how strong the influence of a wing defender who can play at different levels is. Currently, even according to what is in this anime, Liverpool and Trent Alexander Arnold show their fangs with the playing style shown in this anime, so in my opinion "this is a very amazing anime, which can change your view of football, 10/10 "I hope to deliver the next season as soon as possible. Thank You.

I really enjoyed the first part of the youth 11v11 game! This has more creativity and more realism than I expected, so I still have a good feeling about the rest of the show. The snobby opponent is also a great early villain - that trash talk was on point!
