ISHIZAKI IS HURRIEDLY COMING BACK AND IS TACKLING TO TAKE THE BALL BACK, AHH... THIS IS WAY TOO ROUGH!!
Damn it! I've slipped!!
AND IT'S A FOUL, OF COURSE!! YELLOW CARD FOR NANKATSU'S CAPTAIN ISHIZAKI, AS WELL AS A FREE KICK FOR MUSASHI, REALLY CLOSE TO NANKATSU'S GOAL!! I CAN SEE WHERE THIS IS GOING...
Why is it turning that way? I was all fired up to make up for my shitty first half...
HOWEVER, THE RAIN IS GETTING WAY TOO INTENSE!! THERE IS NO WAY THE MATCH CAN GO ON LIKE THIS!! 18 MINUTES INTO THE SECOND HALF, THE MATCH WILL HAVE TO STOP!! HOPEFULLY THIS IS ONLY TEMPORARY...
Nankatsu's players were disrupted, there's no doubt about that... Is Misugi's field shaping
really that powerful? What kind of monster is he?
Well, so far he always showed improved versions of Tsubasa's techniques, but...
Yes, Misugi copied Tsubasa moves, and made them look technically better to shock him, while in fact
they weren't as powerful or sharp. He did exactly the same thing here... His field shaping wasn't affecting Nankatsu at all.
He has indeed a defensive field shaping, affecting his teammates, keeping them in line, but still
needs to give instructions to all of them, fully dedicating himself to commands, while Tsubasa doesn't need to say anything to his opponents to disrupt them, and can still play like usual.
And quite frankly, even if it's not on par with Tsubasa's, it's already incredible for him to have that level
of field shaping by seeing it only in this match... Anyway, he couldn't use field shaping to disrupt Nankatsu... He only used a simple tactic...
Catenaccio... If anything, Nankatsu was only disrupted by their own frustration of seeing the
opponent only defend while they are themselves led... If Tsubasa fell for it and believes it's only the result of Misugi's field shaping...
Then, he'll have no choice but to...
... Play beyond my limits.
But didn't you say you lacked some kind of "key" to do that?
For Matsuyama... I think it was his love for his girlfriend...
*Blushes* Oh my, or do you mean you have found...?
No, I still don't have the key. I think it's different for everyone, or maybe depending on the
circumstances...
I see... That's too bad...
But I think... No, I'm sure, that everyone else in this team can do it. As the ace of the team, I'm ashamed
to tell you that this match is in your hands and not mine...
You are ashamed? And what should I say? I already tried to do better but only did more mistakes...
I don't know for the others, but I can't do it either...
What? are you kidding Ishizaki? You might be the one here who can do it best!
Ahah, that's right... Uh, wait, no, surely you meant "the one who absolutely can't do it"?
Ishizaki... Your team always lost, you always played at the lowest level of soccer...
Yeah, that's more like it! See? I suck! Big time!
And yet so far, you were on par with experienced, veteran teams and players! Always found a way
to be useful to the team, if it isn't proof that you are playing way over your limits, then I don't know what is!
He's right Ishizaki. We thought that you were progressing faster than anyone we've ever seen but...
But while it's true you were making progress, that couldn't be the only explanation...
Then we noticed... How absurdingly tired you were after training and matches... And we understood...
That guy is always playing like it's going to be the last time... Way beyond his limits!!
We all came here to learn from an experienced guy playing in Brazil... Turns out we could
all learn something from you!!
Ah... Uh... Gosh... Are you really all talking about me?
Are you deaf or just retarded? Yes, they're talking about you! Now stop blushing like a girl, drag your ass
on the field and try not to be useless!!
Man, talk about ruining my small moment of glory...
IT LOOKS LIKE THE RAIN IS FINALLY CALMING DOWN!! THE MATCH THAT WAS STOPPED AT A CRUCIAL MOMENT IS PROBABLY GOING TO RESUME SOON!!
