damn he basically wants a captain out of ashito, very few footballers command that presence in a team. Lahm, Van Bommel, Kompany or Ferdinand comes to mind.

 

[satoshi_3]

It’s burning with intensity!!

 

[AegisVD]

Damn, what a good chapter. Thanks for the release!

 

[Arfyl]

Yea boi hana ftw

Also love kanedan ??? Last panel

So ideally, should there be more than 1 shotcaller in a team to organize the team? Like 2 or 3 core athlete that move the team since a player is limited to his own position.

Or the opposite-- The coach seems to imply that Ashito can actually reach more people although indirectly (something for him to figure out how), so I guess there's a way for him to be the sole conductor for the whole team?

This is where the term Maestro was associated to football.

Thank for the chapter.

It just feels like that a lot of people are forgetting that he's primarily the coach of the "Esperion Youth D1 Team" and this is essentially the D2 team. While he has control over the D2 team, he's not the coach; Nozomi is. In that sense he can't necessarily coach Aoi minutely and can only give him information based on when he's there. He's placing his faith in Nozomi to be able to relay what he wants Aoi to become. The coaching dynamics for the manga is quite nice to read, albeit there are some tropes.

@Petrichormus
They're not limited to their own positions for play-making, so it doesn't feel that what it feels like he's aiming for.

My opinion is that Fukuda wants Aoi to be the catalyst for the team to play aggressively through using his wide vision (and/or play to Esperion's style of football). There are some subtle hints at foreshadowing, especially with the hints of comparing Aoi to the Mushashino captain; he's able to direct traffic for the entire team (even Kaneda, who everybody else doesn't get along with). Aoi's getting there, but there are still some hurdles he's working through so that he can earn the other player's trust.

Basically, how can you attack confidently if you don't believe there aren't any weaknesses behind you? If Aoi isn't defensively able to cover his position how can I trust him to attack? etc. etc.

YESSS AT LEAST A HINT!!! Damn this chapter got me really excited, at last, they gave MC a hint of how to be a playmaker <3 at least the very basic. I really hate asshole coach (not as a character) but I can't deny every time he shows up the manga gets so exciting. Hana showed up after her Tsun Tsun moment there is no way they are going to lose now.

I feel like he's trying to mold him into a captain from what he's asking. Interesting.

 

[dael8]

best "fullback" imo is Lahm. I wondered when they will ever mention him... until now

if Ashito grew up to play like him... now thats a series I'd wanna see, rather than being the ace, ace, and ace of scoring in every other sports.

 

[onepunchman]

these nerds are about to get dumpstered by powered up esperion

 

[Alexvinssi]

Lahm? Hell nah

 

[shase]
