The third goal began in an instant.
The kickoff was still Itoshi Rin's, who seemed to have cleared his head after the previous match with Shidou Ryusei, but the resentment in both their hearts was clearly still present.
For example, neither of them even looked directly at the other.
Itoshi Rin passed the ball directly to Hiori Yo, and their synchronized one-two easily tore through Chigiri and Niko's defense, but the moment Otoya Eita and Ye Liangqiu ran forward,
they felt a fatal sense of pressure.
Otoya Eita's powerful lower body strength, combined with his exquisite use of arm distance, allowed him to freely control his opponent's vision.
Hiori Yo held possession, but his vision, like Yoichi Isagi's at the time, was completely obscured.
He wanted to pass it out, but the risk was too great.
In a moment of hesitation, Otoya Eita seized the opportunity, pressing down hard on Hiori Yo's back with his hand. With this small movement, Hiori Yo's entire body tilted forward, and he subconsciously stepped on the ball to steady himself.
And Otoya Eita was waiting for this moment, extending his right leg, ready to intercept the ball directly.
However, at this moment, a dark shadow struck.
Yoichi Isagi appeared from nowhere, and a slide tackle directly stole the ball that should have been in his grasp.
Otoya Eita gritted his teeth, "Mortal!"
Black flames flickered in Yoichi Isagi's pupils, as if to devour everyone. His face was extremely distorted, and all of this was part of his plan. He clearly knew that Itoshi Rin would not treat him as a teammate, and if he wanted to show his self-worth, blindly currying favor would not work.
He had to show his strength, and even more, he had to make them feel a sense of crisis.
Currently, his team hadn't scored a single goal. If he scored one, perhaps the core would shift. At the very least, instead of betting on two unstable beasts, it would be better to bet on him.
Therefore, scoring this goal was a necessary choice.
Only if he could score a goal would the team's atmosphere improve and a chemical reaction occur.
Seeing Yoichi Isagi steal the ball, Hiori Yo shouted, "Great steal!"
But in the next second, a red figure appeared in front of Yoichi Isagi. Chigiri's face was serious, his long red hair flying in the air, "Yoichi Isagi, you won't score that easily."
Yoichi Isagi grinned, "Oh really?"
"Can you see the future too?"
The next second, Yoichi Isagi lifted his foot and kicked the ball without any hesitation. A person was already waiting in the penalty area at that spot. The madman Shidou Ryusei, facing Otoya Eita's close marking, looked at the flying football, and the corners of his mouth gradually turned up.
"This is the pass I wanted!"
"My football cells are trembling!"
However, Yoichi Isagi also rushed towards the penalty area after kicking this ball. He wanted to awaken this beast with this goal and then cooperate with him... That's right, since Shidou Ryusei and Itoshi Rin's relationship was so bad,
he would choose one of them and create a chemical reaction.
That was his goal...
And now, by passing the ball to Shidou Ryusei, as long as he understood the logic, he should pass the ball back now.
He would score this goal himself!
The cells in Yoichi Isagi's brain were constantly excited. This was the perfect strategy he had conceived: using Itoshi Rin and Hiori Yo's cooperation as bait to draw Ye Liangqiu forward to defend, thereby reducing a lot of defense at once.
In addition, Shidou Ryusei liked to make off-ball runs into the penalty area, so someone would have to mark him.
Yoichi Isagi understood Chigiri's weapon... At this moment, he seemed to feel that he might be stronger than this group of Top 7!
In an instant, before the ball even landed, Shidou Ryusei showed a crazy smile. The ball's reflection was in his pupils, and his body reacted instinctively.
Even Otoya Eita couldn't suppress this sudden burst of power from him.
Shidou Ryusei's body seemed to be excited for football.
At this moment, the running Yoichi Isagi finally realized an extremely serious problem: he seemed to have completely misjudged. Shidou Ryusei's thoughts and his brain circuits were completely unconnected!
The so-called chemical reaction was completely shattered at this moment.
Shidou Ryusei let out a terrifying laugh, stopping the flying ball on the instep of one foot, with his back to the goal. In the next second, his entire body began to bend, and he actually used a bicycle kick.
Perhaps it was because of Ye Liangqiu's provocation in the previous goal, or perhaps to let Itoshi Rin witness his goal firsthand.
The football made an ear-splitting roar.
The football arced into the top left corner, ultimately scoring.
The score was now 1:2.
Kneeling on the grass, watching the ball slowly roll away, a flush gradually appeared on Shidou Ryusei's face, as if he had experienced an unprecedented pleasure after this goal. He slowly extended his index finger to his lips, "All the cells in my body are born to score goals."
"In the penalty area, I am invincible."
Yoichi Isagi's brain had completely crashed. This guy... he couldn't create any chemical reaction with him. That last goal, no one else would have dared to kick it like that, but this guy actually abandoned the so-called risk and forcefully kicked that seemingly impossible ball in.
Perhaps he needed to re-evaluate Shidou Ryusei...
No... it should be the entire Top 7.
However, after Shidou Ryusei stood up, he still complimented Yoichi Isagi, "Nice pass!"
Yoichi Isagi gritted his teeth and said nothing... This goal was clearly an opportunity he had created himself.
It should have been his goal... Why... why did he pass that ball out?
Itoshi Rin scoffed, his expression seeming somewhat disgusted, "What a disgusting goal..."
...
In the monitoring room, Ego Jinpachi was still observing.
And Anri next to him was recording data, "All the players, after playing against professional players, have more or less gained a lot. And then there's this adaptation training, Mr. Ego, why did you insert Ye Liangqiu as a ghost among them?"
"Doesn't that also break the balance?"
"Balance?" Ego Jinpachi chuckled. "Wouldn't it be too boring if everything in the world was balanced?"
"Whether it's playing against U20 or those professional players."
"Which of their matches was balanced?"
"If it's an evenly matched game, it can't satisfy my ambition."
"I want to take Blue Lock to a higher place, so the concept these players accept naturally cannot be stable development, but rather the ability to break the balance."
"Currently, Ye Liangqiu's basic condition, strength, and standard have completely met my expectations."
"Wouldn't it be better to use him as a knife to sharpen this group of people?"
