The "Zero" of Soccer (サッカーの (ゼロ) Sakkā no Zero?) is the 5th chapter of the Blue Lock manga series.

Summary[]

Positions and Mechanics

Team Z is playing rock, paper, and scissors to see who gets to pick their desired position. Isagi wins the game and chooses to become forward.

Shortly after, Ego appears on the TV screen and he begins to reexplain the First Selection, a round-robin tourney between 5 teams, with only the top 2 teams advancing forward in Blue Lock. An alternative to survive is to be the top-scorer on your team at the end of the selection. With that information given, Ego states the first match (Team X vs Team Z) of the tourney will begin in two hours. Before the game, Team Z discusses their strategy and how they will center their plays around Isagi, even though they are unsure whether they can rely on him. Even with their doubt they steel themselves and walk out onto the field to face their opponents.

Team X vs Team Z

The game is set to last for 90 minutes with a break in between. The game starts with Bachira in possession of the ball. Isagi, the forward, is having a hard time breaking through the defense of Team X; while thinking of a strategy to pass through Team X's defense, the ball is taken away from him by his teammate, Raichi. Kunigami followed. Team X took advantage of the sudden turmoil and confusion of Team Z to steal the ball. However, much to Isagi's surprise, players of Team X also disregarded the idea of "team play." All of the players started playing for themselves.  

Seeing the greedy playstyle of the players, Isagi remarks that this game isn't football. Players started becoming more physical towards their opponents and teammates as well. Nonetheless, amid the turmoil, someone was able to breakthrough. Baro, in possession of the ball, faces Isagi. Baro is from Team X and ranked 250th. The chapter ends with Isagi stating that he must stop Baro from passing to avoid losing.
