On the field, with every roar, the players' blood began to surge.
The whistle blew.
The kick-off team was U20.
Shidou Ryusei stepped on the ball, glanced at Itoshi Sae, then quickly started running and passed the ball.
Shidou Ryusei, who received the ball, was like a madman, but the delicate footwork showed that he was not an irrational lunatic, but rather seemed to be running with a purpose.
The cooperation between the two was not very tacit, but they easily tore through the midfield defense.
Itoshi Sae quickly came face to face with his opponent, who was Ye Liangqiu. Throughout the entire match, Ye Liangqiu's gaze never left him, because everyone knew that the most threatening player was undoubtedly this new-era Top 11.
Even without the ball, Ye Liangqiu kept his eyes fixed on his direction.
Seeing Shidou Ryusei charging towards him, Yoichi Isagi's ability activated. The information in his mind was constantly trying to figure out how to stop this demon.
Shidou Ryusei's weapon was his invincible scoring ability within the penalty area.
Or rather, this guy was a demonic player born for the sake of scoring goals.
Yoichi Isagi knew clearly that he couldn't let this guy easily enter the penalty area. What he needed to do was defend, constantly defend, keeping him tightly within his line of sight.
"I'm going to confront this guy head-on."
"It would be best if I could intercept his ball!"
During this period, Yoichi Isagi had experienced great ups and downs. His confidence, his everything, had been severely battered, yet he had emerged reborn. He knew that the talents and strengths of everyone on the field were very strong, so he couldn't be careless.
Especially since he had been placed in the defensive line as a defender.
If he couldn't demonstrate his value.
He would face being benched!
In an instant, Yoichi Isagi's mind calmed down, and he quickly moved forward to defend.
Shidou Ryusei's expression was arrogant like a fierce beast, and the smile at the corner of his mouth sent shivers down one's spine. "The excitement seems to have accelerated my cells."
"I'm going to run!"
After speaking, he passed the ball back to Itoshi Sae. Itoshi Sae, who received the ball, looked indifferent, as if he had anticipated this outcome.
But he couldn't relax his guard. To be precise, Itoshi Sae's position was being marked by countless people.
Especially Ye Liangqiu, who seemed to have anticipated that he would get the ball and was rapidly approaching him.
Shidou Ryusei's smile became more exaggerated. His off-ball movement, using various runs and penetrations, pierced through Blue Lock's defenders. Yoichi Isagi was dumbfounded by him; what was the point of this guy moving like this without the ball?
His erratic running not only left Blue Lock's defenders dumbfounded.
Even U20's forwards were confused... what exactly was this guy doing?
Even if he charged into the penalty area like this, would anyone really pass the ball there?
Suddenly, Yoichi Isagi's gaze fell on Itoshi Sae's eyes, who was clearly observing the trajectory of how the ball would be passed.
This guy... is going to pass?
At this moment, Shidou Ryusei was frantically sprinting towards the penalty area, his face contorted with excitement. For him, this match wasn't 11 vs 11, but 1 vs 21. What he wanted to do was completely disrupt this boring match.
He wanted this match to undergo a perfect rebirth after his arrival.
Itoshi Sae's eyes were incredibly sharp. He saw through everything about Shidou Ryusei. At the moment Ye Liangqiu was about to arrive, he lifted his foot and delivered a piercing pass, transforming into a bullet that passed through the gaps between all the players.
Yoichi Isagi's eyes widened. He had certainly noticed it...
Then his body quickly lunged towards the direction of the ball. However, the ball's speed was still a step faster than him, and it had already flown out.
As if feeling the burning gaze behind him, and sensing the arrival of the ball's wind.
Shidou Ryusei leaped up and directly received the ball.
Many people were shocked. This guy didn't even look at the ball... how could he receive it so easily?
The moment he received the ball, Chigiri had already arrived beside Shidou Ryusei. His expression was serious; he wanted to intercept this ball directly while he was in the air.
"Pass to me!" At this moment, a voice interrupted Chigiri's thoughts.
Flash Hall Autumn had already approached their position, his tone calm and unhurried, as if his determination for this goal had reached its peak. After all, as a forward, he hadn't shown any impact so far.
However, Shidou Ryusei grinned, "In front of the goal, I won't pass the ball to anyone."
"Including you useless teammates."
The next second, his eyes were incredibly sharp, the ball was flicked by his toes, and his body rapidly rotated in the air.
A roar sounded; this guy actually used a Dragon Tail Volley Shot in this situation!
It was as if he was returning Ye Liangqiu's Volley Shot from the previous match.
The ball traced a trajectory, heading straight towards the goal at high speed.
Just when everyone thought a goal was imminent.
A figure appeared, Itoshi Rin's eyes were cold, his posture was already in mid-air, and the ball that was about to enter the goal for everyone was intercepted by his calf. "Pink-haired clown, I told you, you are just a clown in this match."
"I don't like squeezing soft persimmons."
Saying that, he kicked a high pass directly back to midfield.
And in that direction, two people were coincidentally facing off against each other.
"Quite vengeful, aren't you? You tsundere!" Ye Liangqiu and Itoshi Sae almost simultaneously rushed towards the ball's landing spot.
Ye Liangqiu could tell that this pass was intentional.
Itoshi Rin wanted to see who was stronger or weaker in his direct confrontation with Itoshi Sae.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have passed the ball in this direction.
After all, how many people on the field wanted possession of the ball?
...
Of course, Ego seemed to have anticipated this scene long ago.
Regarding the change in U20's tactics.
But he didn't plan to change the strategy, because the current Blue Lock team was already in its most complete form. Changing tactics would only ultimately sacrifice the advantage brought by their super offensive system.
Furthermore, the reason Shidou Ryusei couldn't become a Blue Lock player was because he had a fatal flaw, a flaw that would cause the entire team to collapse.
Ego Jinpachi's eyes slightly lifted, "A double-edged sword, when used properly, is indeed very lethal, but it will also bring severe harm to its wielder. It's a case of hurting the enemy a thousand and losing eight hundred oneself. The current U20 has no choice but to sign a contract with a demon."
"Itoshi Sae, what kind of egoist are you choosing?"
"The match has truly just begun."
"Refined egoists... start exuding your charm and make this match even crazier!"
