Was this the first time Aoi met coach Tatsuya since 'that' talk? I don't like him - the coach. I held it in for a long time, but now I'm sure of it 😡.
He thinks it is ok to lie and manipulate a teenager just because "it is for his own good". This is so self-serving. Aoi struggled a lot with his decision to move to Tokyo and the coach knew about it. Do you remember the financial problems that his family has? The worn-out shoes, the money slip from his brother, the calls and calculation of every single yen?
He went because he wanted to be a forward and the coach knew that, but used his enthusiasm to trap him there and then - well, be a full-back or go home! And yes, it is a trap 😡. He let him register in the school, train, saw his struggle and dedication, and even encouraged him. He let him think that he will be one of the best forwards in the future and then killed that future in one go. I was so angry, and I still am. Not because he changed his position but because of the way he did it. "From the moment, you were born, it had already been decided for you that you wouldn't be a forward" WTF? Who do you think you are, coach Tatsuya? It is not that you are some best in the word awarded coach! You can say "I think you are best suited for the full-back position, because of this and that reason", but the way he behaved was overbearing, arrogant, and cruel. And then we come to today - he behaves as if nothing happened. No apologies, no concern, nothing. I hate such people. How can anyone trust such a person? How can Aoi thrust him? What would happen if Aoi did something bad - hurt himself or closed himself for a long time, gave up football, or even worse? Yea, I know that this is the MC, so such things don't happen. But in the real life, these things don't go so smoothly.
Thank you for reading my rant, now I feel better 😊 I held it in for sooo long (since ep13) 🥺
PS: I actually really believed and waited for their first meeting thinking there will be some clarifying talk, some apologies, something that a real grown-up would do.

The thing is it's common for players to switch position, especially when they are still in youth. Even in pro, there are a couple of example, like zinchenko who switch from atk midfield to fullback (I think he is similar to Aoi). The most important thing is you get to play. In modern games, this versatile player is highly valuable because you constantly interchange position with other players during a match.

Yoshitsune's personality is just amazing. He's caring and funny at the same time and also gives great advice. Can't ask for a better senior than that, he's also one of the best players in the Youth team. Aside from that, I really don't get Ashito's personality changes after he uses his "ability" and becomes an egoish player. Well, he doesn't remember anything at all after he makes such plays. It'll probably get explained sooner or later.

Just a little detail, Aoi made a "no look" pass to Otomo in this game which implied that he still constantly did the "turning one neck" thing to observe his surroundings.
I kinda hope they show the bird-eye views so it's more clear where the triangle positioning like the past episode.

I understand this and it is ok. What I can't understand is the way he did it, I mean the "How". It wasn't an honest conversation... He (the coach) actually "crushed" Aoi and waited for things to calm down somehow. His overbearing behavior and lies are what I'm angry about. He works with teenagers (kids), and beginners, and he didn't explain anything in THAT conversation. It was all about how Aoi would never become a good forward..
At least he should have apologized and explained himself better. I waited for that kind of conversation between them and I was left disappointed in this ep.

well this is professional ways of teaching, given in professional circumstances and place, not how some middle school teacher would teach in middle school ya know?
Something like this quite happened when you've been professional. In this case Fukuda just make some gamble with throwing Aoi into "natural selection" phase, if his determination not really that high, its Fukuda's fault chose him. But he know the moment he's first saw Aoi on that beach, Aoi isn't that 'squishy'. So thats why he lied to Aoi 'till the revelation, cuz he don't want that huge 'backline' potential get wasted on 'frontline' position.

As nozomi coach say, Attacking is easier than defending.

I like how when Aoi told Yoshitsune he fell in love with his play style, he did that “hand to the cheek eye roll” thing haha. What a goofball! But man, telling Aoi he reminds him of Kuribayashi is high praise. And he told him he envies him! Glad to see Aoi’s ego didn’t blow up lol.

So who the hell is Bobby Robson? Was that some kind of dig or something? But Togashi was right about over relying on Yoshitsune. Aoi for once wasn’t the one that screwed up. Why did those guys shy away?

With that change in tactics (which I honestly didn’t get what they were planning) Aoi got to put what he learned into play. Man, it was exciting to see! That assist to Togashi was something else. I really like that he resisted the urge to score and chose the option that worked best. But goddamn dude, those eyes when he spoke to my boy Tachibana. Ice cold. He said Tachibana was free, but then he said the guy was spacing out offsides? So he wasn’t free then…? Anyway, nice to see that assist landing them the win though. Fukuda telling Aoi to not doubt himself when he plays did kind of annoy me. Aoi is right, like bro that’s your fault! Lol

More great Aoi and Hana interactions this week. He was so happy showing off to his “No. 1 fan” haha! Those two are really so adorable together. Hana better watch out for Anri though, I sense a sorta rivalry brewing between them. What did she mean by “you don’t understand soccer”?

Next week is gonna be tough for Tachibana. The guy is spiraling and it’s painful to watch. I feel like this Musashino game is gonna be a defining moment for Tachibana. He needs to get out of this funk but idk if seeing his old team kill it is gonna do it. Might crush his confidence even more.

Bobby Robson was a former Barcelona manager whose tactics were overly relying on Ronaldo Nazario.

And the change in tactics was to put Togashi and Takeshima on opposite sides of the defense so they don't have to directly link with each other and cause more miscommunication between them. The substitute along with the cdm joined the defensive line making the back 3 a back 5 with the wing backs (Aoi and Togashi) allowed more chances to run up the pitch to join the attack.

Tachibana was free because he was offside, it might be the case that at first glance Aoi saw Tachibana had space but then realized it was because he was offside.

At this point you should know the story portrays Fukuda as a selfish guy with zero regards for other peoples feelings and what fuels it is that he's been proven right too many times for him to consider anything else. That's why Nozomi was conflicted about Fukuda's actions. More will be revealed about Fukuda and how he is as a person later on but just know this dude is has ambitious goals and he is okay with manipulating one or two kids if it's to achieve his dream.

Once again the art was off at times in this episode but the content is still good so it's all fine, I guess. Tachibana is trying to run away on the other end but I doubt Aoi will let him go.

The dialogues are kinda confusing. But Yoshitsune means that Aoi shouldn't try to copy him, because playmakers like Aoi and Kuribayashi worth way more than a pure striker like him.

Yoshitsune envies Aoi and Kuribayashi. Just a teensy bit. 🤏

My boy Ashito is truly implementing Kuribayashi's playstyle into his game.

Eh, why did Anri have to trash talk Hana like that? I mean she can't make meal plans like her can she? That was really unnecessary tbh.

Anri was definitely drenched after seeing Aoi's unpredictable assist. I wonder why she didn't meet him after the match. Aoi's mimicking Kuribayashi really well because in earlier eps we heard that in the match he was playing, Kuribayashi didn't score once but all the goals were scored thanks to his assists.

Looks like Aoi's on the path to becoming an aggressive full back.

When is my boy Tachibana getting an improvement arc?? 😭😭😭 I'm guessing Tachibana's redemption will take place in the Musashino match. I'm predicting Tachibana will become a good forward and gain confidence while Ashito will be there for the assists and after that, he'll get promoted to the A-Team which will then conclude this season.

Jealous Hana is so cute lol

Looking forward to seeing the Musashino boys display their strengths.

I think Aoi will choose hiw own path in football. It would be amazing to see it!

I feel so sad for Tachibana. I like him so much and his suffereing are so hard to observe... Please, don't torture him anymore! I also cry when I see him suffering like this!

Yeah the author made her looks really bad there. It's not like Hana asking a stupid question too. Maybe it's just to show how jealous Anri is ever since she saw Aoi happy when she mentioned Hana.

This is why peoiple need to read the manga. It's not a problem with your understanding of football, the manga just handled the flow better, taking it slow and add more details..

Had to laugh at the surprise of a full-back assisting another full-back (or wing-backs after the change of formation), you see it all the time now-a-days.

But the looking at the publication date for the manga, this stuff they are covering must be from about 7 years ago! Today you'd just show Aoi a video of Andy Robertson or Marcos Alonso/Ben Chilwell and say "look, you'll score plenty of goals"

He needs to work on his stamina though the modern full-back/wing-back must be one of the fittest players on the pitch.

Really awesome episode again, like how awesome the anime is!
Damn, the ending got kinda sad tho, why would Tachibana not wanna play against Musashino? I guess Aoi choosing Togashi, a defender, for scoring purpose might've made Tachibana feel useless and hindered his confidence...
Or it might be that he was unaware that he was in offside position until Ashito said so.

Anri's comment really came out of nowhere, huh? Hana is not the one aspiring to become a coach here so of course she doesn't need to be that knowledgeable about the sport.

Overall, nice episode but the art sure looked inconsistent for the most part. Also, my boy Tachibana lost all his confidence so I really hope he receives some sort of mini-arc to redeem himself.

Mmm yeaa, and if I was in Tachibana's place, I think I would've felt the same way, a huge confidence drop. Because not realizing being in offside position as a striker gets a huge dent in one's chest.
If you choose to do only what you know, you'll never experience the joy of being able to do something you couldn't before.

It is a nice anime that is not very cliche apart from the classic sports anime. Although the character development is slow, there is nothing bad about it.

Indeed, you are absolutely right!

Finally a win... glory for Aoi but hey it isn't the case for everyone especially Tachibana who's down in dumps, just like what Aoi was going through some episodes ago. Also next match is up against Musashino, just the kind of thing he least wanted.

Ahh ok I see, I see. They’re going with the 5 back with Aoi and Togashi being used as wingbacks rather than true defenders. A position that, for all intents and purposes, is basically a Midfielder >_>. I hope Owner/Manager Daughter girl feels validated. Fukuda could have made that clear to Aoi day 1. But whatever, guess he wanted to troll him a bit.

Still the formation is a real one and has been used with great success. The first thing that comes to mind is Conte’s 2016/2017 Chelsea FC season where they won the Prem.


Also what’s up with Togashi and Takashima? Defense is mostly reactionary and as a result you rarely need to read each other's minds like on offense so the easiest thing you can do in most situations is just yell at each other.

“Stand back” “press up” “Mark so-and-so” ect.

But by far the most important is communicating “my ball/your ball”. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen people chewed out for failing to simply open their mouth and talk. You both think the other guys’ gonna get it and, like we just saw, results in you both just standing there while the forward walks right by you.

Hopefully them and Tachibana get a nice redemption arc and find a way to shine during the next match.

Tachibana is broken :(

However, that was a beautiful goal. It was unfortunate that Tachibana was offside.
