"Dismantle!"
A soft cry, like the whisper of the God of Death, finally transformed into a shooting star, violently crashing into Team W's goal.
3:0!
Tendou completed another hat-trick, scoring his third personal goal of the match. And at this point, not even 10 minutes had passed since the start of the game.
Has Tendou gotten stronger?
That's part of the reason. But ultimately, it was because Team Z's coordination had become much smoother. They understood better how to play the game around Tendou to achieve victory. Like this counter-attack, the entire team got the ball into Team W's most dangerous area with only seven touches. Then, Tendou delivered the final blow.
This was a textbook-level defensive counter-attack!
Tendou was using his teammates' abilities, and at the same time, his teammates were using his.
After the goal, the members of Team Z swarmed up to celebrate with Tendou, not giving him a chance to act cool. The 3:0 score was enough to push Team W off a cliff, at most allowing them to leave a single toe hanging on the edge.
Team Z's advancement was now a certainty. The only suspense left was how long this slaughter would continue.
...
7th minute of the match.
With no way out, Team W once again pressed their entire army forward. Their qualification situation was only slightly better than Team Y's; they had one win, but only a meager 3 points. In this match, they had to at least secure a draw to have a glimmer of hope for advancement.
It was again the twin brothers leading the charge. Their sharp coordination indeed gave the twins the upper hand in dribbling. However, their style of play was still too simple. The ball was basically always at the twins' feet; they rarely cooperated with other teammates. In addition, the individual abilities of the two brothers were average, not outstanding. Often, their two-man effort could only attack on one line, rather than stretching the opponent's entire defensive line. This was a shortcoming of their individual abilities.
Even though Wanima Junichi stubbornly charged to the edge of the penalty area and managed to take a shot, it was still blocked by the body of the shark-toothed kid. With that, Team W's attack ended in failure.
Seeing that Team W's offense was all thunder and no rain, the members of Team Z immediately urged their teammates to show Team W what they were made of. Many of them had not yet scored a goal and could only get a taste of steak during the team's victory banquet. Now that the pressure of qualifying was gone, their personal desires inevitably began to grow. They longed for goals, for many, many goals.
At the age of the players in Blue Lock, between U18, this was a short-term youth competition. And in youth team competitions, defense always comes after offense, unless you have a brain like Niko Ikki on your team.
Isagi snatched the ball and launched another long pass. His instincts were very sharp; he could always smell the spot on the field where the scent of a goal was strongest.
BAM!
The ball quickly crossed the halfway line and flew towards Team W's territory. Having spent a long time together, Isagi had come to fully recognize Tendou's terrifying ability. When passing to him, you couldn't play it safe; playing it safe would mean you couldn't keep up with Tendou's rhythm.
He was trying hard to understand the world of geniuses better!
"Stop him!"
Seeing Tendou crashing over like a comet, the defenders in Team W's penalty area instantly sounded a level-ten alarm. They ignored everyone else, focusing all their energy on Tendou.
About 35 meters from the goal.
Team W's two central defenders closed in at the same time, like two door gods, sandwiching Tendou between them. They could let the ball pass, but the man had to stay put.
Tendou didn't even try to dodge, charging straight at the two of them. He brutally forced an opening in their pincer attack, caught up to the ball again, and broke into Team W's territory with it.
Following that was a ruthless slide tackle from Team W's full-back, and the goalkeeper rushing out of his goal.
BZZZ~
Tendou's Six Eyes began to rotate. Everything that had just happened was in the future.
Time seemed to rewind. Isagi passed the ball, and Tendou accelerated to get to the first ball. Team W's two central defenders came to pincer him, and Tendou violently knocked them aside, carving a bloody path. Then, just as in the future, he knocked the defender aside, caught up to the ball, and broke into Team W's danger zone with it.
Facing the opponent's full-back's ruthless slide tackle, Tendou flicked the ball up one step ahead.
"What?!"
The Team W full-back was stunned. This tackle, aimed at the man, couldn't even touch Tendou's socks?
At this time, Team W's goalkeeper had already abandoned his goal, swinging his fists at the ball, determined to defend his goal. Unfortunately, Tendou was faster.
Having already foreseen all of this, Tendou lightly jumped to avoid the opponent's full-back, then threw his entire body forward. Then, in a "Bundesliga logo" pose, he kicked the ball into Team W's goal (interested readers can look it up, it's very similar to Zlatan's scorpion kick against Marseille).
BAM!
In mid-air, Tendou was like a great roc spreading its wings, his arms swung behind him, and his right leg heavily kicked the ball just before the goalkeeper could punch it away, sending it spinning into the back of the net.
"GOAL!"
A four-goal haul!
In less than 10 minutes, Tendou had already scored his fourth goal. And at this moment, the match time still had not exceeded 10 minutes.
'Holy crap! Awesome! Bundesliga logo, SHOW!'
'Isn't that more like a Zlatan kick?'
'He already got a four-goal haul?'
'Hey, hey, the match hasn't even been 10 minutes! Come on!'
'Nine-Five Supreme!'
"Nine-Five Supreme."
It can be called a great miracle in football history. It was completed by the Polish "God" striker, Robert Lewandowski. It happened in 2015, in a league match between Bayern and Wolfsburg. At that time, the South German powerhouse Bayern was trailing Wolfsburg 0:1 at halftime. Bayern returned to the locker room one goal down.
Then, Guardiola substituted on the "God" striker Lewandowski at the start of the second half.
And then, one of the most astonishing moments in football history was born. After the Polish striker came on, he completed a hat-trick in just 3 minutes and 30 seconds, then completed a four-goal haul in the fifth minute, and finally scored another goal before the 9th minute.
In just under 10 minutes, Lewandowski alone crazily scored 5 goals. Even Guardiola was so shocked he held his head in his hands.
"Nine-Five Supreme?!"
The members of Team Z also realized the possibility of tying this miracle. Even if this wasn't a top-five league match, at most it was just a non-professional game. But to be able to tie Lewandowski's record would be a very remarkable achievement.
Then there was nothing more to say.
After Team W kicked off again, Team Z acted as if they were the ones who were behind, swarming Team W with a frantic press.
The Wanima brothers and the others were instantly enraged. "You're taking this too far!"
