Yoshitsune seems like such a reliable senpai. Already liking his character.

Nice episode but the conflict with this Kaneda kid is so lame. Also thought the match against his team would be in this episode but guess I was wrong.

Got confused for a bit as I was expecting this match to be against Musashino, turns out it's the "next game"

But overall a very feel-good episode as Aoi got encouragements from Hana, Coach Nozomi and even Yoshitsune. Kaneda better start counting his days by now

Kaneda is pure trash. Don't compare him to Akutsu.

Kaneda was the skinny guy at the selection, if you don't remember, rewatch the early episode. He was one of those losers who gave up after getting outclassed by the Youth team players. He eventually stopped running at all, and Tachibana had to cover his right wing position.

Akutsu on the other hand, is a true fighter. He couldn't stand Aoi at first because Aoi actually sucked.

Yes, Kaneda was unpleasant at the beginning.

The match was supposed to be against Musashino but surprisingly it wasn't, people saying it's the fault of subs kinda cracking me up here.

Anyways atleast a pleasant outcome for Aoi's team after so long was something to take from this episode, Aoi did decently too so yeah a better day for the group.

Yes! These are the kind of head on challenges that defenders live for. I swear there is nothing better than taking on an arrogant cocky shit-talking forward and tackling them over and over and over again as you watch the fire in their eyes slowly wither and die. It’s like crack.

Our boy Aoi can’t really seem to do that just yet, however. It’s good that he’s got the “eagle eye” vision superpower to be able to read and intercept passes. But given the fact that he seems to be totally inept at 1v1s, which needless to say is kind of important as a fullback, I still don’t really understand why he’s in that position. Like sure, interceptions are a major part of defense, but an even bigger part of it is your ability to delay, to hold off an attack until you force a mistake or help arrives. This is especially true of the Fullback position because you’re going up against the wingers who tend to be the folks who like to dribble.

Oh my god they’re really going for the love triangle huh. Guess we should have known. It’s the fundamental shape of soccer after all.

Kaneda is bitter as heck man.

Someone please assist Tachibana!! He is currently going through it. He requires some guidance and encouragement. Please, someone help my boy right away.

I loved the part where all the players were looking forward. Aoi appears to be enjoying his position as defender now that he understands how useful his vision is. (aka eagle eye).

And bruh the mc is a simp eh

Yoshitsune-senpai is so nice. Finally a senpai who is more decent towards Aoi.

Also, I like how Nozomi-san coaches Aoi through his previous plays and got him to think of what worked and what didn't work.

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.

All I want to know is if Aoi will be playing in that match against Kaneda's team cause that match seems to be a big deal, they made him play now so maybe? He just has to pull one of those shounen protagonist moves probably
