Summary[]
After the game, Team Z is changing their clothes. While changing, Raichi stated that Isagi's failure as a forward and striker resulted to the loss of their team. Raichi also said that to win in the next game, he must be the forward. Because of this, other players chimed in their opinions, stating that they should be the next strikers.
On the other side of the room, Isagi reflects on what Baro told him. Isagi is unsure why he chose to pass to Kunigami instead of scoring by himself. Isagi wants to know how he can be of more help to Team Z. Team Z becomes chaotic, with each player claiming that they should be the striker in the next game. Kuon then scolds Team Z. Kuon explains how troubling Team Z's situation has been after losing to Team X. Kuon explained that losing in their next game will result in the elimination of the whole team. Thus, it isn't time for them to be thinking of their selves alone.
Chigiri wonders what the first selection's purpose is
After that, Team Z wondered what the first selection meaning was. Chigiri remarked that it may have been related to playing football from scratch to work on each player's foundations. Isagi then said that he may have understood the purpose of the first selection. Isagi believes that the "football by scratch" that Ego described is similar or equal to a freestyle game. The chaos brought by the freestyle game, however, was destroyed by Baro when he successfully scored a goal.
Baro then became the foundation of Team X. After witnessing Baro's sheer talent, his teammates improved their play by following Baro's lead. Isagi noted that a foundation is what Team Z needs to win. Team Z needs an overwhelming talent to carry the team towards victory. The first selection explains the importance of having a top-notch striker for a team to succeed.
Ego explains the existence of a striker's weapon
Ego then appears on the screen and tells Team Z that their conclusion is correct. Also, he showed the results of today's match and each team's rankings. Team V is first; X is second, W is third, Z is fourth, and Y is fifth.
Ego then changes the topic to the importance of having a weapon. Every striker carries a weapon. A weapon that disrupts the opposite team's organization, making them yield and unable to move. Ego noted that every single elite striker carries their own unparalleled weapon. Team Z is tasked with identifying and polishing their unique weapons.
