Blue prison monster

(In the end, it's still because this guy blocked the ball Bachira passed to me!)

Yoichi Isagi looked at Oliver Aiku with a smile on his face, thinking to himself:

(Did he predict it just now? No, our breakthrough and passing were flawless!)

(A guess?! Or a temporary reaction?! No, perhaps it's...)

(Everything!! Including the players' positions, and my speed, the landing point of the pass?!)

(But he clearly wasn't marking me?)

(It's only possible that he saw everything and reacted in that instant based on reflexes!)

(Otherwise, there's no way to explain that defense just now!!)

Thinking of this, Yoichi Isagi looked at that figure with even more surprise.

(Vision, intellect, physical ability, just how high are this guy's stats?!)

(This is the U-20 Japan National Team's defender...)

(Captain...Oliver Aiku!!)

Oliver Aiku turned his head to look at Yoichi Isagi, who had been staring at him, and said,

"『Blue Lock』Number 11, you know?"

"Strikers are often compared to thieves, while defenders are compared to police."

"As long as you're within my line of sight..."

"I won't let you sneak in a goal, you little thief!"

Hearing this, Yoichi Isagi clenched his fists, the fighting spirit in his eyes self-evident.

(My and Bachira's ultimate play was instantly seen through and blocked by him!)

(The U-20 National Team, are they this strong?)

(Interesting, I've found...)

(The opponent I want to 『challenge』!!)

(Aiku is the stepping stone that will lead me to the 『FLOW』 state!!)

"I advise you to put a collar on me first."

"Alright, alright~"

『Blue Lock』team's ball possession, Rin Itoshi kicks off from the center circle!

After the kickoff, Rin Itoshi also passed the ball to Yoichi Isagi. Receiving the ball, Yoichi Isagi directly chose to change the direction of his rush, heading towards the left flank of the U-20 National Team.

And the purpose of him doing this was very simple, which was to avoid Ryusei Shido as much as possible.

Seeing this scene from afar, Ryusei Shido just chuckled and didn't intend to move his feet.

Because he believed that his own defense and Sae Itoshi would definitely pass the ball out later.

While dribbling the ball and breaking through from the left flank, Yoichi Isagi, realizing that Ryusei Shido didn't intend to rush towards him, rejoiced in his heart.

(Nice! Although I don't know what's going on with Ryusei, the current situation is most favorable for us!)

(I just need to consider how to break through Aiku's defense!)

(His performance just now was probably...)

(He saw the origin of the pass and the positions of everyone on the defensive line, and made that defense!!)

(You must grasp all the situations in an instant and rush to the most dangerous shooting point without hesitation to achieve that amazing defense!!)

At this time, Yoichi Isagi had already fallen into deep thought, but without the interception of Ryusei Shido and Sae Itoshi, it was only a matter of time before he entered the backfield.

(At the same time, only someone with a super-strong 『eye』for spatial awareness and a 『body』skilled in sprinting and jumping can have such a performance.)

(Although I studied the videos beforehand, it feels completely different when we actually play!)

(Compared to the defenders I've faced before, his defense is on another level entirely!!)

(This is a professional defender!! This is Oliver Aiku...)

(If I don't take down this guy, we can't win this game!!)

While thinking about this, Yoichi Isagi was about to enter the U-20 National Team's backfield.

However, he still stared at Oliver Aiku, who wasn't far from him, with a solemn expression, continuing to think in his heart.

(That being said, it's difficult to break through from the central route head-on!)

(No matter how many times I pass the ball with Rin and Nagi, it's difficult to break through the defense as long as Aiku is watching!)

(Then let's go from behind!! Our 『Blue Lock』's second option...)

(Let's break through from the wing, Eita!)

Just as Yoichi Isagi thought, Eita Otoya suddenly attacked the left wing of the backfield from the shadows.

"Alright! Stealth breakthrough!"

Just as Eita Otoya wanted to rush to the U-20 National Team's goal in one go, Ikki Niko quickly stood in front of him.

"I can feel it, I can feel it! I saw through all your moves."

"Who are you? Tattooed monk?"

Saying that, Eita Otoya first stopped his steps, then suddenly burst out and rushed towards Ikki Niko, Eita Otoya wanted to use consecutive changes of direction to shake him off directly.

"On the field, there is 『yin』and 『yang』, there is 『surface』and 『inside』."

"There are players on the 『surface』with the ball, and there are shadows acting secretly in the 『inside』, waiting for a fatal blow!"

The next moment, something surprising happened to Eita Otoya, Ikki Niko actually caught up again.

(He actually kept up with my off-ball movement?!)

"Too bad, ninja! I'm also your kind!" As he spoke, Ikki Niko glanced at Eita Otoya, then he basically started moving at the same time as Eita Otoya.

"I can feel it, I can feel it!"

After trying to break through again, Eita Otoya's pupils shrank, looking at Ikki Niko in front of him in disbelief.

(Tch, I can't shake off Niko!)

(He actually occupied the rear area where I wanted to break through first!!)

"If you want to be stealthy, shouldn't you practice your footwork more?"

"You low-level ninja!"

"Shut up!" Hearing this, Eita Otoya couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

Yoichi Isagi, who was preparing to pass the ball to Eita Otoya from afar, was obviously stunned for a moment, thinking in surprise.

(Eita, he's actually being held back by the opponent and can't shake him off?!)

(Can that side-back suppress Eita's weapon?! But how did he do it?)

(This way, I can't pass the ball...)

"Yoichi! Change your thinking!" As he spoke, Rin Itoshi, blocking Hyoma Chigiri behind him, passed the ball to Yoichi Isagi again.

"Alright!" Receiving the ball, Yoichi Isagi responded, adjusted his angle, and directly kicked the ball towards the right flank.

(Don't underestimate me, use the next option!)

(Let's go, another wing...)

(Take him on one-on-one, Yukimiya!!)

"It's finally here," Kenyu Yukimiya said with a smile after stopping the ball.

At this time, Teppei Otosanya, looking dull, stood not far in front of Kenyu Yukimiya.

"Those glasses look cool!"

"Thanks, shorty." Saying that, Kenyu Yukimiya suddenly burst into action, a controlled dribbling breakthrough! Directly passing Teppei Otosanya on his right side.

"This way?"

"Your speed is even faster than I saw in the videos!"
