Blue lock: The God of the field

Reflecting (42)

Inside a room, you could see Nakada laying on a bed resting while you could notice that Nagi seem to be playing some video games on the bed nearby.

Nishioka was nowhere in sight along with Rin, Nalada seem to be typing something on his phone as he was just relaxing himself on the bed.

He had just gotten out of a 6-hour training session with Rin, Nagi, and Nishioka.
He needed the rest as he didn't want his muscle to tear mid-game.

He had gotten injured before and it wasn't a good experience.He did not want to feel it again and that why he is taking care of his body after every match and practice.

He was looking at his own highlight and as he looked at them, he notice how his 14-year-old self was dominating people that we're older than him.

He seem to be enjoying it, he also notice that he was passing the ball a lot but this was not what he was looking for.

He knew he had access to the flow state and he knew he always accessesed it in big games meaning he had never activated it while he was in blue lock.

He searched match after match before he eventually found it, A match between Barcha and real Madrid youth Team.

He watched as the game seemed very close and how the match seemed like a one vs one with him and Sae.

He had to say that Sae was an amazing midfielder but from what he remembers hearing, he heard that Sae actually wanted to be a striker.

He wonder to himself what could possibly make him want to be a midfielder, did somebody humble him in real Madrid or did he feel some sort of pride assisting people.

There was nothing wrong with feeling great about giving a great assist, sometimes an assist is even better than the goal itself. The thing about that is personally he feel like scoring was way better and way more important.

Although he could see the value in assisting, he personally would choose scoring over assisting. He was sure some people would choose to assist but that was not his goal here.

I know that this program is made to make the best striker but if the midfield of your team is trash, you are not going to make it. However, if you manage to score more goals than your opponent at the end of the day it doesn't matter.

If your midfielder are not able to keep the ball and create opportunity for you to shoot and try to score, it doesn't matter how good of striker you are, you won't score unless you go back and do it yourself.

That is also a big waste of your stamina just running around the field doing the work of your midfielder.

As I was in my though, I suddenly got pulled out of it as something in the screen caught my attention. From the video, I could see that I started to play differently, I was controlling the field like some sort of puppet master with my passes and positioning skills.

I also seem to be imitating other players, it seemed like I was adding their playstyle into my own, for a solid 15minute I watched myself play on a level that was way too high for a normal 14 year to play.

I think this might be what semented my 14-year-old self as a new gen 11.After finishing watching the video, I closed my phone and started to stretch.

<What are you doing>Dad
<Strecthing>you
<how much fun are you having in there>Dad
<alot actually, although no one here is at my level, I do however like training facilities>You
<Sent a video>Dad

I looked at the video and it was a video of him doing different skills and at the end of the video he challenged me to see if I could do those skills too.

I smiled a bit before I closed my phone and put it back somewhere safe, Nagi seem to be playing some sort of shooting game on his phone but as he notice me getting up.

"Where are you going"He asked his eyes not leaving the phone.
"Training"I reply honestly.
"Mind if I join"He said looking at me.
"I don't mind at all"I said as I started to walk away.

He closed his game and out his phone somewhere else before he followed me. I walked toward the training room and open the door to see that Rin was already there and he seemed to be running around the field.

I notice him but I ignored him for a while before I took a ball and threw it at Nagi before I told him.
"Keep kicking the ball higher and everytime the ball land try to trap it in a way that the ball will not go further than 2 feet up after you trapped it"

After saying those words to him, I proceeded to stretch for a bit, I stretched my body for a solid 5 minutes before I stopped as I felt refreshed.

I then walked toward the field before I started to run at full speed, I ran and ran faster and faster with each passing second almost looking like I was just going to keep going until I eventually stopped.

I then burst out running at full speed going from zero to 100% of my speed near instantly.
I wanted to upgrade my acceleration skill.

It will be useful being able to use that during a game, I might not be Loki level fast but I will get there.
