The player who took the ball away from Bachira made a long pass forward that landed at Sendou's foot.
Sendou proceeded to trap the ball before passing it to Shido, Shido rushes forward with the ball at his feet before passing the ball to Sae.
Who proceeded to pass the ball back to Shido, Shido immediately felt someone behind him as soon as the ball came near him.
He looked back to see Nikko guarding him to which he just smile.
This pipsqueak wouldn't stop him.
Shido jumped in the before bicycle kicking the ball with all his might with everything he had, his eyes were pure black as he did that.
Kira randomly appeared out of nowhere trying to stop the ball but the ball passed right in between his legs.
His calculation were wrong and now his team would pay for it.
Nakada was being held back by Sae leaning he could not be there.
All of it was just left to Gagamaru. Gagamaru lunged toward the ball and made sure to use his percular body physique to go after the ball.
His string-like physique allowed him to jump in a way that made it possible for him to stand a chance at catching the ball but unlucky for him.
The ball was a bit too fast for him and due to Kira recklessly trying to kick the ball away, he could not see where the ball was exactly meaning he had to guess.
Even though he had guessed correctly, he had hesitated for half a second, and in football, hesitating for that long as a goalkeeper is not a good thing.
His fingers managed to slightly push the ball out of the way but the power of the ball caused it to still go in.
Shido jump in the air before celebrating his goal in the air, seemingly feeling pure bliss in this moment it felt so good that he….
As he landed on the floor in style, two of his teammates rushed toward him trying to celebrate his goal with them but he ignored them and he rushed toward Sae.
He jumped on Sae back before yelling out"I scored Sae Itoshie.. I'm going to play with you forever!!being with you jas made me throb like never before!🎵"
Sae expression changed to anger real quick before he proceeded to slam Shido on the floor saying "Creep."
"I told you to make hat trick.then we can exchange contact info, Don't touch me until then, you incubus" Sae said looking down at Shido
"Heh, Heh.Okay, Okay.🎵, then if I score ten goals can we be roommates?!"Shido said looking at Sae.
Sae did not answer that question.
Pov change
The president was celebrating Shido goal inside his protected room, this game was turning around, all they had to do now was score 2 more goals and they win.
This situation did not seem so bad for them after all.
Meanwhile
Nakada sight internally, his eyes scanning the field, he noticed that the U-20 team seem to have been fired up and seem to have adapted to him…..
Hahaha, he almost made himself laugh with that joke.
What else now, they could contain him now, he call bullshit, however, they seemed to have neutralized Bachira's new dribbling style already.
They have Nagi trapping skill on a tight leash and that Buddhist monk is not letting Otoya move as he pleases.
Talking about monk, he think he met one before but if he doesn't remember them.
They are probably not that important or we're too weak.
Nakada eyes than landed on the score board.
[Blue lock A-level-Japan U-20]
[5-4]
Time skip.
As the referral whistle was blown, Nakada's eyes looked at the player from the U-20 team who seemed hesitant to come and guard him.
Except Sae and Shido no one else came too close to him to guard him.
"What…yall don't want to dance."
Soon enough Nakada found himself sandwiched between two very different opponents. Shido, known for his aggressive and physical style of play, was on one side, ready to pounce like a tiger. (Nah Shido would much rather do something else)
On the other side stood Sae, the calm and strategic prodigy who seemed to have an answer for every move that Nakada could make.
As Nakada approached, Shido lunged forward, his intent clear - to intimidate and overpower. But Nakada had encountered players like Shido before.
Plus Shido was his pet, he knew how to counteract this little puppy's attitude.
With a quick step-over, he left Shido lunging at empty air. It was as though Nakada had danced around a charging bull, leaving Shido frustrated.
"Maybe next time" Nakada said calmly
However, Nakada knew that the real challenge lay ahead with Sae. The midfield genius was a master of anticipation and control.
Sae used the small moment that Nakada had no control over the ball to press Nakada using this small moment of weakness to take the ball.
Sae communicated with Shido in a split second, a silent agreement formed through eye contact. Shido, ever the aggressive enforcer, moved to intercept Nakada while Sae bided his time.
The plan was simple: use Shido's aggression as a decoy to distract Nakada and steal the ball.
As Shido charged at Nakada, the prodigy's instincts kicked in.
Instead of panicking, Nakada entered "the flow," a state of mind where everything seemed to slow down. It was as if the world had become a canvas, and he was the artist in control.
Nakada anticipated Sae's scheme. As Shido came closer, Nakada executed a seemingly casual spin move. It was a dazzling pirouette that left Shido grasping at thin air. Nakada's control of the ball was impeccable, never straying too far from his feet.
Sae looked at Nakada display of skill before mentally sighing to himself, he should have expected that Shido wouldn't really be much against Nakada.
Sae, undeterred by the failure of Shido, attempted to close the gap, but Nakada was already a step ahead. The prodigy's dribble was a work of art, a series of feints, cuts, and changes in direction that left Sae stumped.
The small moment that it took Sae to be stumped Nakada used to pass the ball back to his back heel before flicking it forward using the back of his heel to get by Sae.
As he passed by Sae, Nakada felt a slight pain in his leg, Oh The pain was returning and it was hard not to notice.
"Press him, he can't get past all of us, "A player from the U-20 team said.…
