I played CB for about 7/8 years before playing CDM for a few years. So almost all of my experience in football has been playing with a focus on defence.

Forwards and strikers pretty much always have the focus and it’s a little dull from my perspective so it’s been so much more enjoyable since Aoi has been in defence. Whilst I have a decent enough idea how the forwards work since I always was watching from the back I have a much much better understanding of what’s important to a defender and exactly what Aoi is doing wrong than I did before.

Has any other defenders felt this way and what’s it like for the forwarders watching to see things from a defenders perspective?

Personally, never played the sport at a competitive level. Just from a narrative and presentation standpoint, I like the fact that it's focused on tactics and unconventional in presenting the MC as a defender and playmaker at the same time.

After finishing this episode. This anime shot up in my ratings, from like a 7, up to a 9 for me. I really like it and I think it has potential to be better than Haikyuu or Kuroko's Basketball

i've been playing CB for like 13 years now and I'm 18 years old, but still haven't watched the show, just the first episode. When I'll watch the show I'll let you know

I think it’s making it more enjoyable because it’s something different. Aoi was too similar to Shoyo Hinata of Haikyuu. Just how Hinata dreams of nothing but spiking, Aoi wants nothing but goals.

I don’t know when the manga was written but the focus on a playmaker at full back is quite modern to the European game, particularly in the big 5 leagues, so being able to watch actual players perform and then having the tactical breakdowns and basics in the show is a really nice blend

Honestly, just played football with some local kids as a dumb kid. Never was even close to playing it competitively at any level.

However, even though I'm not a big football fan, I find it really enjoyable and am thinking of starting the manga after the anime finishes airing. It's an amazing series for sure

I have never played football but since that change happened I decided to read the manga and damn I was not disappointed. The story gets sooo good, I really hope we are getting more seasons. That character development is crazy good. And also the matches of course!
