"Around?" Yoichi Isagi's gaze suddenly fell on Ye Liangqiu, who was panting heavily. This was the first time he had seen that guy look somewhat fatigued on the field.
Bachira nodded, "The first two goals of this match were just an appetizer. Their strategy has always been to target Qiu."
"I've observed for over ten minutes."
"No matter when, there's always someone blocking Qiu, and the Akama Brothers are using this situation to evade Qiu...."
Yoichi Isagi was stunned, "You mean... their strategy is targeting only one person, and that's Ye Liangqiu."
"Not letting him touch the ball, not letting him score, and not letting him run wild on the field?"
Bachira nodded, "From the two matches so far, our team's strengths are obvious, and our weaknesses are also obvious. Under the powerful aura of Qiu, we indeed secured two victories."
"But... the price of victory is complacency."
"If they limit our scoring methods."
"Then besides Qiu, who among you, me, and them can step up?"
Yoichi Isagi's eyes darkened. Bachira was absolutely right... In the two matches, their opponents lost almost entirely because of Ye Liangqiu. This third team must have watched the previous two matches, so they deliberately targeted Ye Liangqiu.
After all, it's too easy to target someone on the field.
And, in this Blue Lock, even fouling, someone would probably be willing to do it....
"Finally, someone understands.... Up until now, Z Team has made it this far entirely because of Qiu Bao! Once he's restricted, the entire team is like a person full of weaknesses."
"And with the strongest scoring point suppressed, the opposing team's pressure naturally decreases significantly."
"Upstairs, are you underestimating the others too much? These guys at least have various weapons. It's just the Akama Brothers, isn't it? As long as Jie Bao unleashes his spatial awareness, he can easily solve it."
However, Yoichi Isagi couldn't see the argument in the comments.
He was still trying to figure out how to play this ball next.
Bachira licked the corner of his mouth, "So what are you going to do? Yoichi Isagi... liberate the Demon King, or shine brightly in this match?"
Yoichi Isagi suddenly looked at Bachira.
Bachira, however, curved a smile, "When the main player is tired, the spotlight of this match will gather on some outstanding players. The first two matches were Qiu's solo show, so... shouldn't it be time for us nobodies to show our prowess in this match?"
"Yoichi Isagi, do you want to be a shadow for your entire life?"
Yoichi Isagi was stunned, but a glimmer of fire seemed to spark in his eyes, "Of course not. So... are you here to tell me to crush these guys?"
"Let me say this upfront, I don't have Ye Liangqiu's stamina or speed."
Bachira grinned, "Don't worry, the monster will tell me."
At this moment, Ye Liangqiu had already closed his eyes. The violent pounding of his heart seemed to calm his emotions even further. In this match, there was no one who betrayed him as in the anime.
The strategy was not leaked, and Kuyon did not betray them.
Under the complacency of their winning streak, everyone seemed to have overlooked Z Team's fatal weakness.
It was easy for him to break through restrictions; after all, his own formidable strength on the field couldn't be completely contained by just one or two people.
The entire field, just as he expected, had everyone, including these enemies, fighting around him as the core.
Ye Liangqiu subtly revealed a smile, "Brilliant, truly brilliant."
"Although I've already experienced this feeling before."
"But... are you all thinking too simply?"
As if sensing a change in Ye Liangqiu's aura, the player who had been marking him tightly furrowed his brow and tensed his body.
Ye Liangqiu, however, glanced at him and softly said, "Watch the show... This match might be different from what you expected."
"Without me, they should play even more easily."
"After all, I know my team better than you do."
"The oppression is over now, and someone is about to rise up in rebellion!"
As he spoke, his gaze fell on the Akama Brothers, who were rapidly sprinting towards the goal. However, in the next second, Yoichi Isagi appeared out of nowhere.
He kicked the ball away with one swift motion.
"You!" Aomori Junichi's pupils dilated.
"What 'you'!" Yoichi Isagi felt as if his entire body had lightened by countless times. For two consecutive matches, although the opponents were always suppressed by Ye Liangqiu, their own team had also been constantly dominated by Ye Liangqiu's terrifying strength.
Now was the chance to show himself, to display his abilities.
He would not give up.
Now that the Demon King was sealed, it was naturally time for them, the heroes, to save the world!
"Bachira, catch it!"
With a precise angle, this interception surprisingly also led to a pass.
Bachira was already in a good position, waiting for the ball to arrive, "Great pass!"
The next second, he received the ball and quickly dribbled it out of the penalty area.
Seeing this, other teammates quickly ran forward to position themselves.
Bachira watched the encircling opponents and sneered, "Do you think there's only one threat on our team?"
"Then you're gravely mistaken!"
Instantly, his feet moved wildly, and he easily dribbled past the person in front of him with dazzling step-overs.
Then he shot out like a black shadow.
Bachira's eyes were frantically locking onto positions, "Qiu, you just stand aside and watch. Without you, we can still score. The Demon King's reign is over."
"Now it's monster time!"
With a "thump,"
He shot, and the ball slipped down from the net.
Before Bachira could even shout, Yoichi Isagi had already yelled, "Nice one, Bachira!!"
The Akama Brothers were also stunned, their faces filled with disbelief.
Their strategy was indeed flawless, yet a new problem had now emerged: why did Z Team still possess such strong combat power?
At this moment, they looked at Ye Liangqiu, whose face showed a smile, as if he had already known this would be the outcome.
When a Demon King who suppressed a group of monsters falls,
The power that erupts from those monsters who break free is the accumulated pressure and oppression, transforming into the momentum that ultimately becomes the weapon to overthrow themselves.
How delightful this is....
Ye Liangqiu looked up at the light peeking through his fingers and murmured, "Do you truly believe it's a good thing to seal me on this field?"
"It will only make more monsters break through their shackles."
"Heh... truly brilliant!"
