The best football manga for people who have never played football
Generic characters. Unnecessarily corny and edgy dialogue. The art saves the series. Feels like the research done for this series was done on the football wikipedia page. Storytelling and pacing is okay and can get you hooked but gets very repetitive as the series progresses. If you like a self insert power fantasy under the pretext of a football manga, then go ahead read Blue Lock. If you prefer something more grounded and showcases actual football then I would heavily recommend to stay away from Blue Lock.
TL;DR Ao Ashi clears
