The Sakuraba v Ryū thing is mostly because Sakuraba has the one thing Ryū has yet to reclaim: ball mastery (dribbling, immaculate first touch etc). Being able to walk past players like they're not there is obviously a tremendous skill to have, but if that's all you've got, you'll eventually hit...

Nabeken gets better every time I see him play, quality keeper! 🔥

Sakuraba has insane ball mastery, but his other abilities aren't anything to cry home about (barring his spatial awareness and possibly his vision). He's pretty one-dimensional as an overall footballer, but he's just so damn good at what he does (at the level he's currently playing at), that it...

I wonder if they'll have his respect ready for him 😂😂

HEAD UP YŪTO!! SHOW US THE FRUITS OF YOUR LABOUR!! 🔥🔥

Yūto really got that James Milner versatility, can play anywhere 🔥🔥

Respect Sakuraba while he's on the football field!

Sakuraba is the Queresma to Ryū's Scholes. Two amazing players in their own right, two geniuses in their own right, but two different styles of play. Scholes isn't gonna beat 5 players and nutmeg the keeper, but Queresma ain't gonna be governing games like Scholes would. Both are effective, but...

Respect Sakuraba! 😂😂🔥🔥

Respect Sakuraba!

Sakuraba bout to get that respect! 😂😂 @Yunwu he wouldn't be where he is right now if he'd made barely any progress... Ryū right now would be similar to a typical shonen protagonist who was once OP but then had most of their powers sealed away or outright stripped from them. They can't do what...

NAAAABEKEEEEEN!!!!! BETTER RESPECT!!!

GOOD LAD JOUJI!! That's a proper defender!! Sometimes you've gotta take one for the team and commit those last man fouls! Prevents any immediate chance of the opponents scoring and gives the rest of your team to get back into position 🔥🔥

Tomosaka repaid the faith Kovac had in him! Big performance 🔥

Games like this show the difference between the good teams and the great teams as well as the singular stars in a squad! If you can't fight to win when the game gets gritty, you won't get anywhere.

This is why I hate playing in the fucking rain... the pitch either gets too sticky, too heavy, too slick or a mix/all of the three 😤

There's that maturity from Nabeken... when under pressure, sometimes you need to slow it down and get everyone's heads switched back on! Class 🔥🔥

@Yunwu massive disagree there... It's not like Ryū has all the time in the world to just spontaneously re-develop the ball mastery he lost, he's still a regular school student after all, not a teenager at a pro-club. Not only that, but he has been doing things by himself! It's not like he...
