Summary[]
Oliver Aiku observes the coordination of the Nigeria U-20 team, behaving similarly to their simulation model in theory. The Nigerian players utilize their physical abilities to create opportunities for both receiving and executing passes for the ace to score. The Nigerian U-20 system functions by modeling a single end-point structure that relies on Onazi's scoring. In contrast, the Blue Lock team perform freely with players being able to score at any time, but similarly, both countries play well hyper-offensively despite the clashing methodologies.
Oboabona headers the ball to Kuso, who is challenged by Yoichi Isagi swiftly. Reo Mikage joins Isagi as they press Kuso for the ball, likening the two as to efficient predators. Onazi arrives from behind for Kuso to pass to, but the ball was quickly intercepted by Tabito Karasu who passes to Hyoma Chigiri. Chigiri cuts into the defense of the right wing and makes a cross with no deceleration to the center. Kuso presses Rin Itoshi, mistaking the ball's direction as it heads to Isagi.
Onazi perceives the possibility of a direct shot and quickly move to stop Isagi. Isagi berates Onazi as an individual whose freedom and abilities don't account for the team; deducing the Nigerian team is ultimately nothing if the central figure can't act. Isagi passes the descending ball to Meguru Bachira, who runs up to start his dribbling. Kuso observes and extrapolate Isagi as the modulation that prevents Onazi from gaining the ball on both offense and defense, further reasoning Karasu and Reo are involved with filling in any gaps. Rin and Isagi bypass the defense as they prepare to position themselves for a pass from Bachira, only for the dual strikers to be misguided by his feint and continues to dribble against Nigeria. Bachira ignores Oboabona as he kicks the ball into the goal, scoring a goal for Japan.
