On the Juventus bench, Snuffy was filled with emotion.
"In any era, the ones who bring change to the world are never the 'correct' things done by smart adults!"
There was actually a second part to this sentence.
That is, "but invention, and revolution! And the beginning of every revolution is often the dream-like joke of a brat!"
The current Barou Shoei was so similar to the friend in his mory.
So similar that...
Zip~
Snuffy unzipped his jacket, revealing the Juventus jersey underneath.
He was going to use the superstar entry system.
Even if it was only for three minutes, he wanted to recapture the impulse he once had when he dread with his friend.
Also, he had to grant Barou's wish and get that annoying guy from Man City on the field.
Of course, what he said out loud was, "It's ti to finish the job, Juventus!"
Snuffy's unexpected entry caught everyone by surprise.
And then, they all turned their gazes in unison to the Manchester City bench.
Zip~
Similarly, Manchester City also made a substitution, but the one coming on was not Prince, but Tendou.
"Oh? Isn't the condition for your entry that the team scores a goal?" Snuffy looked at Tendou, a simple smile still on his face.
"That doesn't matter. I'm just interested in you," Tendou said, taking off his jacket and coming to stand next to Snuffy.
As expected.
Snuffy chuckled to himself.
The kid next to him was ready to make his mark on Europe.
He wanted to use established stars like himself to gauge the level of the top five leagues, the pinnacle of the world.
He was wrong.
Tendou simply wanted to find pressure to make himself stronger.
TWEEET~
The electronic referee's whistle blew. Amidst the cheers of countless spectators in front of their screens, Tendou and Snuffy stepped onto the field together and stood face-to-face in the center circle.
2:0!
Manchester City, two goals down, kicked off.
The mont Tendou received the ball, the eyes of the entire Juventus team were fixed on him.
From the midfield to the backfield, their defense was like two intertwined chains.
This was the "catenaccio," the chain defense that the Italians were most famous for.
When Snuffy had studied Manchester City, he had focused on analyzing Tendou's ga tapes and his playing style.
To counter Tendou's unparalleled explosive power, they had specially arranged two chains for him.
But even so, Snuffy still didn't feel at ease.
Tendou was too complete.
Defending, organizing, dribbling, shooting—he could do almost everything.
This kid, who was only 17, would very likely beco a big na in football in the future.
But not now.
"Manchester City kicks off!"
"Tendou advances with the ball!"
"Hmm? This is the famous Italian catenaccio!"
"..."
The comntators, with their god's-eye view of the pitch, could see that Juventus's formation had changed to a 4-4-2.
The distance between the four players in the midfield and the backfield was almost the sa. If there was any threat, they could imdiately tighten the chains.
This formation was very suitable for Juventus because the most important part of the catenaccio is discipline.
For the Juventus players, who treated football as their job, this tactic was even easier for them to master.
But this formation also had a weakness.
Once the formation was in disarray, the chains would cease to exist.
Tendou accelerated towards Snuffy.
"So fast. Seeing it in person is even more shocking than watching the tapes."
Snuffy was stunned.
For such explosive power to appear in a 1.93-ter-tall player was definitely a BUG.
What was even more outrageous was...
Tap-tap-tap~
The mont the two were about to make contact, Tendou's feet moved the ball rapidly, completing four touches in just one second.
"A monster!"
Snuffy resisted the urge to stick a foot in. He had lived through the era of ssi and Ronaldo; he knew what this kind of step frequency ant.
Sure enough, in the span of a breath, Tendou's figure dissipated before his eyes like a bubble, reappearing on his other side.
A ti-lag illusion!
Thwack~
Snuffy decisively turned and extended his hand to block Tendou's chest.
"What you want are these eyes, right?"
Snuffy's pupils had already split into 8 sections, like a neat spiderweb. This was proof of tavision.
"That's right. The things you see are nothing special."
"Now, what I seek is a fifth-dinsional vision that no one else but can see!"
Tendou admitted it openly, then added, "And I will step into it sooner or later."
"What an absolute monster!"
Snuffy wanted to try and shake Tendou's confidence, but Tendou seed to have anticipated it and didn't hide his desire at all.
In a daze, he felt a huge force coming at him. He, a professional who had won titles in all five major leagues, found that he couldn't hold Tendou back.
...
"Besides speed, his strength is also..."
Before he could finish his thought, Tendou had already used his strength to shake off Snuffy's hand and then launched an explosive charge at the Juventus defensive line.
This kind of central burst was not unfamiliar to the Juventus players.
The "prince" of AC Milan used to love to make these kinds of unstoppable charges from the center.
The Juventus "chains" imdiately contracted, eting Tendou's charge head-on.
However.
Thwack~
Tendou suddenly made a diagonal pass. The ball scraped past a defender and went to the feet of Mikage Reo.
A chance!
Mikage Reo still couldn't read Tendou's thoughts, but that didn't stop him from thinking this was an opportunity.
"Most of the defensive attention is on Tendou! This is a chance!"
...
"Nagi!"
He shouted, and he and Nagi once again perford their signature move, as if it were engraved in their bones.
"A decoy?" Snuffy narrowed his eyes, his brain rapidly simulating the situation. Then his eyes shot wide open.
This was both a decoy and not a decoy.
The result would depend on whether Juventus could withstand the impact of that Man City duo!
Thwack~
Thwack~
Thwack...
While he was thinking, Mikage Reo and Nagi Seishiro had already advanced the ball more than 20 ters.
And at this ti, the New Generation World XI defender, Lorenzo, unsurprisingly, shot out again and completed the tackle on Nagi.
From the start of the ga until now, Mikage Reo and Nagi had launched a total of 4 attacks together.
And without exception, all of them were intercepted by Lorenzo. His tackle success rate had reached a staggering 100%.
"88 million and 60 million. Your values are both beneath , OK?"
Lorenzo habitually asured his opponents by their annual salaries and was about to launch a counter-attack.
But imdiately, a cold current swept through his body.
"Watch out, Lorenzo! He's coming!"
Who's coming?
Of course, it was Tendou. Lorenzo looked up and, sure enough, saw Man City's number 7 flash before his eyes like lightning, hooking the ball away from his feet.
A tackle from a defender can directly threaten one's own goal.
"Don't be discouraged. This is a robbery from the 1.5 billion man."
Tendou dropped this line and shot past Lorenzo with a swoosh.
In front of him, there were only two goalkeepers left.
No, wait, there was also Snuffy, who had quickly hit the ground and was going for a slide tackle on the ball.
