A direct run through the middle.
A ridiculously handsome face, a tall and slender figure. At this moment, Tendou seemed to be possessed by the Son of God, Kaká. When he started to run, the visual impact brought by that ultimate speed and power dribble got many female fans excited. Even with triple-layered defensive measures, there was a risk of leakage.
And so, Blue Lock, or rather, Tendou's first group of fans, was born.
Of course, if it were just fast acceleration and sprinting, then Tendou would at most just be a fast player. But what if you added continuous dribbling past opponents?
A long-distance run from the backfield. The first to bear the brunt was the national youth team's right winger, Choken Jin. This name was quite well-chosen; remove the middle character, and he would be "Chojin" (Superman). Unfortunately, his name was fierce, but the man himself was average.
Swoosh!
Tendou passed him with a power dribble, eating him alive with speed.
Then came the second player, Kitsunezato. Tendou kicked the ball to his right, his impact force reaching its peak, and then he passed him.
"Wow!"
Some of the audience members were already covering their mouths in surprise. This kind of high-speed, continuous dribbling was the best way to stimulate the audience's adrenaline. In the stands, many fans were craning their necks. Instinct told them that the national youth team wouldn't let this ridiculously handsome number 7 continue his performance. But in their hearts, they desperately hoped that this genius named Tendou could continue his show.
At this time, Tendou had already broken through the national youth team's forward line in one go. The two defensive midfielders, Wakatsuki Itsuki and Sasanami Ryuu, came forward together.
Tendou's eyes glanced at Isagi on his left, and he also made a feint, tapping the ball towards the left. But just as everyone thought he was going to pass to Isagi, Tendou used a Rabona to kick the ball to the other side. This inspirational pass deceived everyone.
Including Itoshi Rin. He was a beat too slow in reacting when he received the ball. But this was also within the observation of the Six Eyes.
Swish!
Tendou burst out with a second acceleration, breaking through the defensive line formed by Wakatsuki and Sasanami like a comet. Almost at the same time, the reacting Rin sent a diagonal pass in front of Tendou. Tendou moved almost in sync with the ball and regained possession.
Moving with him was Itoshi Sae. The New Generation World XI member had no intention of letting Tendou pass so easily. The two teams' cores charged directly at each other.
"We didn't settle it last time. This time, we should have a conclusion."
The two looked at each other with cold eyes, neither having any intention of backing down.
"The football of the world is very cruel." Sae feinted a tackle for the ball at Tendou's feet. However, Tendou did not fall for it at all. His Six Eyes could see through all illusions; this level of feinting was not worth mentioning.
Tendou sneered, "What is this? A loser's requiem?"
"No. This is a warning."
"Your warning is meaningless to me. That's just your limit."
Tendou's confidence was moving. Even the genius Itoshi Sae, he did not take him to heart.
At the same time, he pushed the ball and charged to the right. But this was a feint. Under the audience's gaze, Tendou suddenly stepped on the front of the ball with his right foot while his body was rotating.
"A Marseille Turn?"
Wrong!
Those who were familiar with Tendou had already guessed what he wanted to do. Sure enough.
Halfway through his turn, with his back to Sae, Tendou once again flicked the ball with his heel, passing it through Sae's legs. And when his body had completed a 180-degree turn, Tendou was already half a body length past Sae.
This move... no one in the entire Blue Lock could block it.
But Itoshi Sae blocked it. He quickly turned his body and at the same time extended his hand to intercept. Tendou also raised his arm to block.
BAM!
The two of them collided again. The result was obvious. Sae was knocked away again, his entire body flying backward. The two figures were extremely intertwined, their movements so fast that they were hard to see clearly. However, the final result was still Tendou coming out on top.
"He got past!"
"The captain of the Blue Lock team!"
"Number 7, player Tendou Kageyoshi, has once again gotten past the genius Itoshi Sae in a one-on-one!"
"The other members of the Blue Lock team have completely pushed into the national youth team's half!"
"A 5-on-4 opportunity in the attacking third!"
"..."
The commentator roared at the top of his lungs.
From that defensive play in the backfield, Tendou had now gotten past 5 people in a row, including Sae.
A midfield libero?
Screw you!
This is a fcking full-field libero!*
At this time, the national youth team's defensive line was only left with Oliver Aiku and his three great heavenly kings. This was their last line of defense, and also the most solid one.
Tendou's whole body shone with a pure white light, advancing ten meters in one breath. And then, in a daze, Isagi seemed to see a giant python coiling around Tendou's body.
"It's Oliver Aiku again!"
Isagi had experienced the skills of this national youth team captain not long ago. That defensive ability was like a giant python ruthlessly strangling you, making one feel suffocated. This guy was also a standard "stat monster." A broad field of vision, excellent brain for analysis, and outstanding physical ability. In every aspect, Aiku was the highest on the national youth team besides Sae. And he used to play as a forward before switching to a defender. He knew the habits of a forward like the back of his hand!
"In the range of my sight, don't even think about stealing a goal, you little thief!" Oliver Aiku roared. He always compared forwards to thieves, and defenders who intercepted forwards and stopped them from scoring were the police. In a sense, the relationship between the two was indeed like that. The former needed to score goals to prove their value, while the latter needed to do a good job in defense to protect the goal.
"A cheap and meaningless metaphor!" Tendou's Six Eyes emitted a dazzling light.
...
Such a metaphor, in his mind, was simply terrible. At least a JOJO-level metaphor was needed to move him.
"Most importantly, a police officer of your level can at most just guard a fish pond."
Pfft~
Under the gaze of the real-world audience, in front of the camera, Tendou's Six Eyes rotated for a moment. The next second, the giant python entwined around him was torn to shreds, dissipating into a cloud of blood mist.
In a cloud of blood mist, a streak of white light shot out.
Aiku's eyes widened. Tendou's figure had already disappeared from in front of him. He had actually gotten behind him. All of this happened too fast, so fast that the other three heavenly kings didn't have time to provide cover. Because they had never thought that Aiku would be beaten, and in such an easy manner.
"Damn it!"
"Stop him, quick!"
"Neru!"
They could only pin their hopes on Neru Teppei, who was the fastest.
But in response, there was only a simple...
"Dismantle!"
A Messi-level shot release speed, striking the ball. The speed was so fast that the goalkeeper had only blinked, and the ball had already "arrived" in front of the goal line.
It's over!
SWISH!
Just as the goalkeeper had thought that, the ball had already crashed into the net like lightning and was spinning fiercely in it.
The scene fell silent again.
A long-distance run starting from the backfield, a distance of over 60 meters, passing a total of 6 people along the way. Although he had sought Rin's help in the middle, such an explosive goal was still enough to shock every single person present.
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!"
"The ball is in!"
"2:0! The unbelievable Blue Lock team! The incredible Tendou Kageyoshi!"
