Now, Kuon Wataru's stance has made Ye Liangqiu's attitude clear... he needs people who will absolutely submit to him.
He needs people who will give their all on the field, only to allow Ye Liangqiu himself to score.
Compared to Ma Lang...
Ye Liangqiu's oppressive aura radiated not towards the opposing team, but towards his own teammates...
Bachira leaned against the wall, watching the show. For him, the game was already centered around scoring, so even if he didn't express his thoughts... Ye Liangqiu knew what he was thinking.
At this moment, Yoichi Isagi stood up, "If... I said if, all of us help you score, can you definitely help us advance to the next round?"
At the same time, everyone's gaze turned to Ye Liangqiu.
That's right, there was only one loser's spot. If Ye Liangqiu didn't exert himself, all of them would be eliminated, and only one person could remain.
Now, betting everything on one person was undoubtedly a foolish method.
But if it was only Ye Liangqiu, then they absolutely needed him to score many goals...
Ye Liangqiu's gaze swept over the crowd, "If you think I can't do it, you can choose to play your own way. I have never threatened you. How you want to play is your choice."
"Even if everyone on the field is a forward, I don't care."
"Just like the rules of the field, we are just players, players who dribble and attack. The only thing is to score. Only the one who scores is the most dazzling presence on the field."
"See if you want to be a dazzling presence, or willingly be a shadow behind me."
"All of this... will be decided on the field."
After saying this, Ye Liangqiu beckoned to Kuon Wataru, and then the two walked out.
Inside the locker room, the atmosphere among the crowd improved significantly.
Raichi's tone was somewhat urgent, "Hey, hey, hey... if this guy's scheme really succeeds, I'm afraid... we'll be out next game."
"You're wrong, it should be the game after next." Chigiri, who was combing his hair, said inappropriately.
Raichi became even more anxious, "So are you all planning to let this guy advance by such means?"
At this moment, Bachira spoke, "Is there a possibility that you're mistaken?"
"Akira also said just now that as long as we are willing to attack around him, he will also lead us to victory."
"But why do you think he can't do it?"
"Or is it because of conceding two goals... you think he won't play? Giving up?"
"In my eyes, you are too strange. You want him to score, but you don't want him to score. If it were me... I'm afraid I would do the same."
Everyone remained silent...
Yoichi Isagi lowered his head, also thinking about Ye Liangqiu's words just now.
Now, it was essentially a process from zero to one. Ye Liangqiu wanted to use his own strength to unite the entire team, and he adopted extreme measures because only in this way could he wear down the sharp edges of these ambitious players.
Perhaps in the first goal, he had already discovered that Z Team was different from X Team.
The difference in players between the two teams.
After Ye Liangqiu scored a goal, the entire team was still full of contradictions, while X Team, upon realizing that Ma Lang could score a goal, immediately began to play around Ma Lang.
Undoubtedly, the opposing team's players understood better how to play this game.
Only by revolving around a strong person can victory be easily achieved....
But similarly, Ma Lang and Ye Liangqiu, one a King of the Field and one a Devil of the Field, viewed their teammates as mere tools. The only difference was which tool they found most useful.
Suddenly, Yoichi Isagi stood up and said, "Perhaps I understand Ye Liangqiu's meaning..."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Yoichi Isagi looked at everyone, "If we continue to play like this, I'm afraid it will really be as Ye Liangqiu thought, and the team will fail and be eliminated."
"Do you remember what Ego Jinpachi said before?"
"From zero to one, this means the field dominance possessed by those who display extraordinary strength and individuality on the field."
"I observed our state when we played against X Team before."
"It was always chaotic. If it weren't for Ye Liangqiu's appearance, I'm afraid... we wouldn't have gotten a single point!"
"Because we were too self-important..."
Raichi retorted, "You, who gave up resisting in front of the goal, have the nerve to say that?"
"Scum."
However, Yoichi Isagi did not refute, slowly saying, "This is typical."
Raichi's eyes widened. If Kunigami hadn't immediately stood up and stopped him, he probably would have received a red card in the locker room.
After suppressing the grumbling Raichi.
Kunigami asked, "Self-important? What do you mean by that?"
Yoichi Isagi was silent for two seconds, "Completely unaware of one's own weakness."
That's right, his words were mocking everyone present, including himself.
"We thought our skills were good, and we could even achieve brilliant results on the field, but... that was only in the past. No matter what glory we experienced outside, when we came here, we were just ordinary players."
As he spoke, Yoichi Isagi pointed to his sleeve. The number "Z274" was particularly striking.
According to the Blue Lock ranking, he was second to last.
And the last was Little Monk.
"If calculated by ranking, then... there are more than two hundred people stronger than me ahead of me."
"The stronger a person is, the stronger the charm they naturally display."
"Why should the strong serve the weak?"
"This is the main point I want to make... X Team relies on Ma Lang's strength to continuously score, yet we are thinking of snatching the ball from someone even stronger than ourselves..."
"Perhaps this is selfishness... After all, none of you here want to be a mere foil, do you?"
"So you mean to help Ye Liangqiu score?" Kunigami asked.
Yoichi Isagi neither shook his head nor nodded, "You all forgot one thing... Although selfishness has made us hungry ghosts on the field... after all, we are all one team."
"Ultimately, without coordination, without cooperation, even someone as strong as Ye Liangqiu."
"It's impossible to score 100% of the time."
As he spoke, a spark seemed to appear in his eyes, "So... what we should do is cooperate with the devil while demonstrating our own strength."
"Only in this way can we avoid being completely devoured by this Devil of the Field."
As the whistle blew, the second half was about to begin.
When both teams stepped onto the field once again.
X Team already clearly felt that Z Team's aura had changed...
If before they were a group of weak and powerless sheep, now... these sheep had shed their skin, revealing the fangs of a wolf.
Ye Liangqiu, at the forefront, revealed a smile, "This game has only just officially begun...."
