"I was behind you, Why didn't you pass to me"
"Hey!, Kira was in a better position, Bachira made the right choice"
Team Z after scoring started their bickering till the intercom took action in calling them off
Team V kicked off the ball after conceding in just 3 minutes, They started the play and initiated an offense right away, Reo didn't pass right away and started his run, He got past Kira which wasn't easy but was accomplished, and reached to the middle leaving Kira behind
Isagi has changed his position of CAM to CDM, converting this formation from 4-3-3 Attacking to 4-3-3 Defending, Reo saw Naruhaya from his right coming at him but that just left a space for Zantetsu to exploit
Reo didn't hesitate and passed to his right in the open space left by Naruhaya
"Sorry guys, He's all yours!"
Zantetsu received the ball and accelerated at his highest, He had an irritated expression as he ran on the wing, Chigiri ran to get in front of him but Zantetsu wasn't falling for that and accelerated to leave Chigiri behind
Raichi who just got there tried to press Zantetsu but couldn't do anything and only grazed Zantetsu's shoulder
Zantetsu leaving all behind took the shot at the left-top corner, The second ball left his foot he turned around to look at Raichi
"Who's a dumbass now"
Raichi was about to argue with Zantetsu but stopped and smiled at Zantetsu
"The one I'm looking at"
As Raichi said those words he ran toward Team V's half, Zantetsu turned around as he didn't hear the buzzer to declare his goal but noticed the ball getting thrown to Isagi
Gagamaru dived and caught the ball, Isagi had warned him about Zantetsu's shooting range and the most probable trajectory which was the reason the second Zantetsu got past Raichi, He moved to his right to catch the ball and quickly sent it to Isagi
Team Z started the counterattack, Isagi kept the ball to himself and ran to the center, Bachira, Kira and Kunigami were onto their run while Naruhaya got in the middle running behind Kira to make a surprise shot, Raichi did the same with Kunigami
"I won't allow you to articulate the game"
'Reo called him a Playmaker'
Isagi had many options and was about to make a pass, Though it was interrupted by Zantetsu, He ran from the corner to him to stop the pass from Isagi, Reo had warned them to keep a close eye on him and cut off his passing routes
"You mean manipulate?"
Isagi asked as he had a smile on his face
"Oh right, though with my speed I'll stop your run"
"Well you're not the only speedster on this pitch, We got one of our own as well"
Isagi said as he sent a through ball to the left, Chigiri ran from next to them to the ball, Zantetsu also closed onto him but Chigiri did not stop, He kept running and left Zantetsu behind
'Just like Isagi said, This guy's acceleration is good but he can't do the same in the long run'
Chigiri saw a cluster forming in front of Team V's goal with everyone pressing onto someone, The only players out of this Cluster were, Chigiri, Naruhaya, Zantetsu, Isagi, and of course Nagi
Kira and Bachira were showing their off-the-ball movements to make Chigiri notice their positions, Chigiri was conflicted as to whether to pass or go for his own goal
"Need a hand? Chigiri"
Isagi thought the attack would get killed if they wasted time in the Mid-Field so he moved up to support the strikers
"You get right where you are needed, Huh?"
Chigiri passed the ball to Isagi and made a run at his fastest, Isagi tried to get Zantetsu's attention as he faked a passing motion which Zantetsu fell for
Isagi got in the middle of the field and launched the ball to the left, The one who had been dying for the action from the start of this match
"YOSH!"
The ball reached the cluster where everybody was pushing each other, In that environment only one was at advantage, and It was Kunigami, As he saw the ball getting to him, He ran to get in its trajectory
Reo tried to stop Kunigami but Kira was in his way and blocked his path while he could only see Kunigami heading the ball with strong force
The goalie dived to get the ball and was satisfied as his position was good and his hands had reached far enough to fend this ball away
It would've been an easy save, But Team Z wasn't playing an ordeal team play, The second ball went for Kunigami, Raichi made a run to steal that goal though he was still far away the one who got there was somebody else
Raichi was left behind and the shot was taken to the right by Naruhaya, He had been lurking around to get the opportunity and when he found one he didn't hesitate to make his run, The ball entered the net to the right bottom, turning the score to 2-0
"YEAH!"
Naruhaya had been training his shooting, something he was lacking and became the reason for him to get kicked out of Blue Lock, Isagi gave him instructions to overcome that hurdle, Isagi wasn't going to hold their hand throughout the Blue Lock to succeed, They have to do it on their own but if they will come to him for instructions he couldn't stop his inner senior to help them achieve the things which they definitely could with little insight
Naruhaya after that hard shot whose trajectory was hard to guess and to shoot got on his knees, The efforts he gave were now paying off, He could imagine himself competing with his teammates now
Although it did irritate a few, No one argued or complained about Naruhaya stealing the Goal, Not even Kunigami as it was clear that the Goalie was going to save that, Naruhaya scored that Goal with his abilities
Both Teams got back to their positions, The atmosphere in Team V's half was a little chaotic, They planned how to shut Team Z before the match started but their tactics couldn't even play out once as they were busy adjusting to Team Z's all out rampage
Nagi at the Kick-off, glanced towards Reo who was irritated, He wanted this fight and to win it, On the path of becoming the best and winning the World Cup, There will be many obstacles and this is also one of them
Nagi made a kick-off and did his usual run to the end, Nagi could tell that Reo was nowhere near giving up even if they were behind by 2 Goals
'Get Ready Team Z, Me and My treasure will show you the difference between Talent!'
