@gintamacountry Ok, no worry :)

 

[lrregularity]

Kuribayashi's about to ditch Aoi for this dude

 

[Knighto]

I'm better than Xavi... yeah kid, sure. an experiment were he helped you for shit n giggles (even a good simulation can't replace the actual game for the player) against him actually playing games at full capacity.

at least this arc is a clear jab at the curreny Japanese team, as they were winning 2-0 in the first half against Belgium but they couldn't keep up the 2nd half.

 

[architeus]

@Knighto While I do believe it might be a jab to the Japanese NT, I really like how Japan play against Belgium in the WC, they keep pushing and attacking despite leading 2-0. Their tenacity excited me. Although, maybe lapse of concentration get the best of them. I dont think this chapter specifically jab on that particular match. Just an opinion

 

[Knighto]

@architeus
not the chapter but the arc, about instilling the winning mentality, the moment the first goal happen their concentration broke (both headers could have been evaded... third goal was a perfect counter)

 

[rannyie007]

ok kid, you're not better than xavi. try to go head to head on a match and compare. not from some daytime tv reality show "experiment"

 

[gintamacountry]

@rannyie007
where did he say he's a better player than xavi?
all he said was he remembers where 21 players were more accurately than xavi.

Thank you for the chapter

@Duckiedoggo
if a manga had a character that was just ronaldinho, people would call him a gary stu OP self-insert, man was too powerful.

 

[Alex_79]

@rangobongo: actually "Gabriel" from Giant Killing reminds me a lot of Ronaldinho, at least in looks :)

 

[Duckiedoggo]

@RangoBongo ikr. Those people are reading a sports manga, a seinen genre on top of that, and being ignorant and throwing stupid comments.

Like, why the fuck you read this manga again?

I bet when there's Ibra in this manga, those guys will start call him a "Hibari Kyoya" character lmao

 

[YumGumYum]

i'm bored for some reason.....

 

[Dulkia]

I'm just gonna say I really appreciate the last page about Aomori Seiran and Aomori Yamada comparison and fun facts. Really interesting

 

[Juice89]

Thanks for the chapter! Reading end notes and reader comments at the end of every chapter are my highlights

 

[danny_chan]

@Juice89 yeah. it's a cool community

 

[juujiz]

bruh stop calling it super power, it's a talent dude, it's normal in real life where we call it as biomotor abilities, ex: strength, power, vision, stamina, agility and speed.
btw xavi>>>>>>>>>that lil kid.

 

[MeReinhard]

he is my rival

I want that coach's jacket. Its so fly. Also, it really makes sense what he says.

Fundamentally, the purpose of youth clubs are generally to develop talent for the senior team. I think we've seen that happening in Esperion. So yea there's a tug of war between development and winning. And in basketball, there are plenty of world class players that are immensely skilled, but they don't exactly have that winning mentality *cough*kyrie*cough*. Is that wrong? Imo not really, different professionals want different things out of their careers. Some want to win, some want to make money and live a good life. But in the context of International sports, i think a winning mentality has a lot more weight. yea those are my thoughts.
