Juventus's counter-attack.
Having had their goal threatened multiple tis, Manchester City's defense was tracking back faster and faster.
Soon, the area in front of the penalty box was crowded with players from both teams.
However, this was also within Snuffy's expectations.
The Juventus players once again began their short passing combinations, continuously probing the Man City defensive line.
More than a dozen players sward around the Man City box, constantly moving.
Running into position.
Chasing back.
Running into position again.
Chasing back again.
The Man City goalkeeper, Luke, suddenly found that he could no longer see Barou's figure, and he couldn't even see where the ball was.
There were just too many enemies.
It wasn't just the goalkeeper; the Man City players were also not accustod to this kind of chaotic scramble in front of their goal.
Juventus, clearly, was.
They continued to pass the ball, with every single player doing their job to the fullest, creating that one opportunity.
It seed like a long ti had passed, but in reality, it was less than a minute.
Barou Shoei, the top predator, found his chance amidst the chaos.
Niko Ikki, who had been watching him the whole ti, imdiately sent the ball to his feet.
Just as Barou was about to shoot, Mikage Reo tenaciously charged out.
"I can do this!"
"He can't shoot yet. I can see through his movents."
Reo's pupils had already split into eight sections.
That profound, mysterious feeling allowed him to capture Barou Shoei's actions.
The opponent's tactics were indeed well-executed; everyone was betting on Barou for the win.
But it was this all-or-nothing approach that allowed Reo to see a glimr of hope.
"That's right. All Barou is doing is playing according to Snuffy's instructions. That's no different from and Nagi. We are not wrong."
Reo seed to have found a reason to convince himself.
However.
Barou, who was winding up to shoot, suddenly pulled back, changing his shot into a tap. Reo's eyes shot wide open. His slide tackle scraped past Barou.
"Nani?!"
He was stunned. In that instant, Barou had surpassed his tavision.
The Juventus players were also stunned.
According to the tactics, Barou had to shoot at that mont. That was his job.
And Barou.
He was never a player who followed the rules.
He rembered what Snuffy had said to him when he joined the team: if he played according to his plan, he would surely beco a king.
And because of that, Barou had indeed beco the 100-million-yen man.
But.
This was the third ti. If he played according to Snuffy's plan, his shot would have been blocked three tis in a row.
He had had enough.
Barou suddenly roared, "Snuffy, our contract is terminated!"
Reo's heart skipped a beat.
Barou had not been tad by Juventus. His pride had not been killed.
"Your plan can't help take down that guy Tendou!"
His Majesty the King had unilaterally gone on strike. The beautiful collaboration instantly returned to chaos.
And Snuffy.
Not only was he not angry, but he actually smiled.
This was the mont he had been waiting for.
A rule-follower could never beco a one-of-a-kind king, just like his late friend.
Barou roared and charged towards the Man City penalty area.
This sudden change threw Juventus's entire deploynt into disarray.
The Juventus youth players cursed Barou for being crazy. Barou's response was to tell these low-inco individuals to shut up.
The Man City defenders sward him, but Barou unexpectedly tapped the ball to Aiku.
The latter was very surprised, but then he heard Barou say, "Follow , servant!"
Aiku was stunned for a mont, then grinned and re-initiated the attack.
Niko received the ball, stating that he had never heard of this attack pattern.
But Aiku said, "No, we have. Snuffy has trained us in countless tactical setups."
Hearing this, Niko understood what he had to do.
Lorenzo also grinned. "This is an exciting turn of events, OK?"
"Damn it!" Mikage Reo imdiately scrambled to his feet, but Juventus's new attacking formation was impossible for him to see through.
He instinctively chased after Barou and said with a cold face, "I won't let you get a shot off!"
"A useless bum who can't play without a partner, get out of my way!" Barou responded coldly.
The team Snuffy had built was excellent, especially for him. As the team's finisher, Juventus was a paradise.
But it was not enough.
Only despair could allow him, Barou Shoei, to keep evolving.
He thought of the despair of being destroyed by Tendou. That ti, he felt as if he had fallen into an abyss, that his life had hit rock bottom.
But thanks to that experience, he was able to change, to beco even more twisted, and to be reborn from the ashes.
The familiar Barou had returned.
Lorenzo's pass also arrived.
"I won't let you!"
Chigiri Hyoma also arrived, appearing just when Reo was feeling uneasy.
"Perfect timing, Chigiri! This is good! The two of us defending together, we can definitely do it!"
Reo thought, his eyes locked on Barou's dominant foot.
Right now, Barou only had two choices.
A near-post shot or a far-post shot. With Chigiri and Reo in front of him, no matter how he shot, they could stop it.
Luke was focused.
However.
Barou didn't shoot directly. Instead, he tapped the ball to change direction and then cut inside.
It's coming!
Mikage Reo's brain spun rapidly, predicting Barou's shooting path.
He knew that once Barou finished adjusting, his shot would surely co.
"Is it the near post or the far post?"
Reo thought and acted.
And Barou, he was aiming for the space between their legs.
"If in the future I cannot beco the one and only king, then I will die with my enemies!"
BANG!
Barou smashed his foot into the ball, his scarlet pupils like those of a beast during a hunt.
The ball skimd across the turf, zipping through the legs of both Reo and Chigiri and shooting towards the goal.
A ground-cutter shot!
This was a shot they had never expected. Luke quickly dived to save it but was a step too late.
Swish~
The ball went in again. Barou had scored a brace.
The score was 2:0. Juventus was ahead by two goals and had reached match point.
After scoring, Barou let out a passionate roar.
On the bench, Snuffy looked at the flamboyant Barou and was very happy.
In any era, the ones who bring change to the world are never the "correct" things done by smart adults!
This was a lesson he had learned from his friend who had already committed suicide.
Therefore, he was very satisfied with Barou's recklessness.
"Hurry up and get on the field! Today, I will personally give you the greatest lesson of your life!"
After celebrating, Barou pointed at Tendou on the Man City bench and taunted him.
Tendou ignored him.
Barou was very dissatisfied, believing this to be the calm composure of a high-inco individual.
