In the live stream room, millions of fans watched the scene before them in disbelief.
Wherever Tendou went, Juventus players were left sprawling on the ground.
He accelerated into the box and swung his left foot, pushing the ball that was near his left side.
The ball skimd across the turf and, with a swish, crashed into the Juventus goal.
Goal!
3:2!
Tendou had killed the ga once again.
"GOAL!"
Four large English letters lit up on the stadium's screen.
Even the Juventus fans, at this mont, stared with wide eyes, their next instinct being to applaud.
The comntators from all nations were filled with praise like "The Alien has been resurrected!", "The Pendulum step-over!", "A genius!"...
It was as if people were already seeing a world-class superstar rising once again.
Fans couldn't wait to see him make his debut on the European continent.
The bullet comnts scrolled like a rocket.
Outside of Blue Lock, Amanai Riko was jumping and cheering.
Her classmates around her were already used to it.
They knew that Riko's affection for Tendou had reached a point where she was ready to give herself to him at any mont; she had to watch every single one of his matches live.
What they didn't know was that Amanai Riko had already given herself to him long ago.
Amanai Riko had not revealed her relationship with Tendou.
Because she had discovered that Tendou was becoming a little famous.
Especially after the birth of BLTV, his fa in Japan was several tis higher than when he was a model in the world of Kuroko's Basketball.
Many famous gravure idols were professing their love for Tendou on their personal social dia accounts.
No one would probably believe it if you told them.
What a pity.
The scoundrel hadn't even registered his own social dia account. In this world, besides Amanai Riko, no other woman had his contact information.
The young lady was actually a little proud of this.
That old woman Teieri Anri didn't count.
Teieri Anri, who was cheering in the control room, suddenly sneezed. She felt a great sense of malice.
But she didn't know where this malice was coming from.
Shaking her head, she continued to clap like a seal, her eyes full of stars.
...
On the field.
The Manchester City players had already rushed over to hug Tendou tightly, celebrating this stunning goal.
Even the stoic Nagi Seishiro was looking at Tendou with admiration.
At this mont, he understood what Prince had said to him even more deeply.
His own Five-Stage Fake Volley, he couldn't replicate it yet.
And Tendou had already tornted two goalkeepers and scored two such insane goals.
If the Five-Stage Fake Volley was a fleeting teor, then Tendou was the moon hanging high in the sky, or perhaps the sun?
Chigiri grabbed Tendou and asked him, "Did your teacher really not have South Arican blood?"
"Stop acting like a young lady, having such foolish fantasies every day," Tendou said, the lightning at the corners of his eyes dissipating.
He had grasped the key to tavision.
The next step was to be able to use it normally in a regular state.
The Zone, after all, consud too much energy; it was his last resort.
Goal!
The electronic referee blew the final whistle, announcing the result of the match.
With this, Manchester City had a perfect record of 3 wins in 3 matches, with only Barcelona left as their final opponent.
After celebrating, the players all turned their gazes to the screen.
Next was the important mont: the announcent of the latest offers.
Whether they could play in the upcoming U-20 World Cup would be decided by that string of numbers.
Raichi Jingo's na appeared on the list for the first ti, breaking into the top twenty with an offer of 18 million.
Along with him was Hiori Yo, who received an offer of 20 million.
Kurona Ranze also got an offer of 23 million.
Tendou was not surprised. If you stick with the protagonist, Isagi Yoichi, your treatnt certainly won't be too bad.
Right now on the Bayern side, besides a "towel boy" like Igarashi Gurimu, most of the players' offers, like Kunigami Rensuke's, were a result of Isagi's assists.
And on the Juventus side.
Niko Ikki and Aiku both had stable performances, and their annual salaries increased slightly, but not by much, only 1 million each.
Barou had scored two goals in this match, and his offer increased by 20 million, reaching 140 million.
The problem was.
He, who was second place after the last match, had now dropped to fourth.
Above him was Isagi Yoichi, whose value had quintupled, receiving an offer of 150 million.
And who was number two?
The genius younger brother, Itoshi Rin, who received an offer of 180 million!
Barou looked at these two nas and his own rank, filled with resentnt!
His Majesty the King could no longer even claim to be second to one.
And first place...
...was still the unmovable Tendou. His offer remained at 1.5 billion, firmly at the top of the list.
The value of all the Blue Lock players combined was not as much as his alone.
"1.5 billion? No change?"
"How co?"
"..."
Everyone knew that Tendou's offer was number one.
The problem was, the offer he received had not changed.
That space-cutting pass and that dribble that could give goalkeepers nightmares, were they not worthy of even a 10,000 yen increase?
Prince, Noa, Lavinho, Loki, and Snuffy, the master strikers, saw this and already knew what had happened.
Those giant clubs had tacitly chosen to give him the cold shoulder.
Because if they continued to bid against each other like this every round, raising the price out of spite, Tendou's value would beco unpredictable and unreasonable.
They had simultaneously decided to lower Tendou's expectations, lest they be unable to move this exceptionally talented kid when it ca to real negotiations.
So, this was not other clubs looking down on Tendou. On the contrary, it was a sign of them taking his performance even more seriously.
Prince was certain that if his own club wanted to sign Tendou, the annual salary would definitely exceed 10 million Euros. There was no doubt about it.
In addition to that, there would be goal bonuses, assist bonuses, championship bonuses, and so on.
But the big money was still in the image rights. It would all depend on how his own club and Tendou's agent negotiated.
The superstar David Beckham, when he played for Manchester United, had an annual salary of about 6 million Euros (from 1993-2003).
But according to dia reports, his annual inco exceeded 20 million Euros, which ans his off-field inco was, conservatively estimated, at least 14 million Euros, more than double his annual salary.
How much of Beckham's image rights Manchester United owned at the ti has also never been revealed.
But from the fact that when he joined Real Madrid, the club demanded that Beckham give up his unreasonable ownership of his image rights from his ti at Manchester United, one could guess who had the upper hand.
Because at that ti, Real Madrid only wanted 50% of Beckham's image rights, while other players had to give up 90%!
Why did Beckham have such a special privilege?
Let's put it this way.
At the ti, Real Madrid spent less than 40 million Euros to bring Beckham in. As a result, before Beckham had even played a single match, he had already brought in over 100 million in revenue for Real Madrid.
So, could Tendou beco the next global superstar?
