Chemical Reaction (
Overview[]
The 3-on-3 match between Team Red (featuring Rin, Aryu, and Tokimitsu) and Team White (featuring Nagi, Isagi, and Bachira) continues. Team Red is currently ahead with a score of 3 - 1.
Summary[]
Team White strategizes their next play, deciding to go with Nagi's plan. Isagi says how Nagi is the type to bring ideas out by himself, but Nagi replies saying that it was his first time making a plan, and only because he is frustrated at losing. Nagi says soccer is not fun unless he wins.
At the restart, Isagi passes to Bachira. With Nagi marked by Aryu and Bachira marked by Tokimitsu, the trio passes to each other using one-touch passes in a triangle formation. Making their way towards the goal with this tactic, Bachira sends the ball to Isagi, who rushes toward the penalty box to score. However, Rin intercepts the pathway saying "What a lukewarm hotline", prompting Bachira to pass to Nagi instead with a high-speed grounder pass. Nagi, performs a back heel trap, spins around Aryu, and runs toward the goal to score.
The score now 3 - 2, Nagi explains how his play was unplanned. Because the passes he is accustomed to receiving allow him to do whatever he wants, Nagi pushed an idea straight into his brain. Bachira jokes, saying how Nagi could get used to having more ideas sent to his brain, which Nagi agrees, and asks how many more goals they need. Isagi listens and analyzes the goal that just happened, realizing the success of using their triangle passing technique paired with Bachira's inspiration and Nagi's instincts.
While Bachira, Nagi, and Isagi are chatting, Rin says to them that they shouldn't be chatting on the field and take a straight kick to the goal from kickoff, and he almost scores, if not for Isagi who blocks the ball with his head. Isagi understands that what he can do is sense the danger, and he realizes that he'll control the field with his eyes. He then looks at Rin and says "That was lukewarm".
