At this moment, only two people on the field could sense this ball.
Hiori Yo and Itoshi Rin seemed to have known that Shidou Ryusei would make an exaggerated pass, but no one expected that his pass would be a direct, long-range bicycle kick.
Itoshi Rin couldn't help but curse; everyone could be calculated, but this pink-haired pervert alone significantly increased the calculations in his brain.
Receiving the ball is impossible...
He could only watch where the ball was headed!
Suddenly, a blue figure flashed past him. Hiori Yo exuded a captivating aura. As he swept past Itoshi Rin, his voice rang out.
"I'll help you this once."
Hiori Yo began to sprint wildly towards the penalty area. Shidou Ryusei's bicycle kick was intended as a direct shot, but the distance was completely insufficient; he could only pass the ball into the penalty area.
Hiori Yo was in excellent form at this moment; he could clearly see the ball flying towards the goal.
He could also see Blake and Kabasos, who were rushing towards the ball at the same time as him.
Kabasos's goal was the same as his; he had clearly anticipated the ball's trajectory...
His current speed was completely insufficient...
One second slower, and they would take this ball.
He had to learn to use his weapons... Just as Kabasos was about to touch the ball, he felt his body being pushed away. Hiori Yo had an excellent sense of distance; he pressed his single hand against Kabasos's left shoulder, then took a large stride and quickly turned around.
His body didn't make any exaggerated movements; he simply slowly raised his left foot.
With a "bang."
The ball was kicked directly in Itoshi Rin's direction, and he himself immediately fell to the ground from this series of movements.
Kabasos looked back at the ball that had been kicked away and chuckled softly.
Interesting... to think of a countermeasure in such a short time.
Hiori Yo grinned, "No. 1, it's up to you!"
Watching the ball fly towards him, Itoshi Rin's pupils constricted... "Left foot?"
"You... you're also a lefty?"
But there was no time to think; the ball was about to fly in front of him, but at the same time, a suffocating aura approached. Two figures, one red and one blue, tearing through the air, were rushing towards him.
Shindo Loki and Ye Liangqiu, who had been restricting each other, were like rapidly approaching demons.
Itoshi Rin looked at the ball flying towards him, a hint of unwillingness flashing in his eyes, but his body reacted in a fraction of a second, leaping into the air, "What a disgusting pass!"
"This isn't my own strength!"
With a "bang."
A roar sounded. Itoshi Rin's eyes seemed to be completely swallowed by darkness. He unleashed a Volley Shot, successfully scoring a goal.
The score came to 4:4.
But Itoshi Rin felt a strong sense of rejection towards this goal. He gasped for air, looking at Hiori Yo, then at Ye Liangqiu and the other two... He bit his lip.
"A bunch of stumbling blocks..."
At this moment, Ye Liangqiu's voice rang out. He looked at Shindo Loki, somewhat speechless, "Can't you block someone else?"
"With your speed, no one can stop you, so why do you keep staring at me?"
Shindo Loki smiled slightly, "Because you are the core of this team, and the only player I consider a threat."
Ye Liangqiu clenched his fist, and finally sighed. Is this what professional football is like?
Even a hint of brilliance would be directly smoothed out.
However... this also seems to indirectly acknowledge that he is the strongest person on this team?
Hmm... it should be like that.
The final point battle arrived.
The kickoff went to the professional team, which was under immense pressure. After all, before this, Ye Liangqiu and the others had never successfully defended any of their attacks.
And this time, if they didn't defend successfully, then... the game would be over.
Shindo Loki stepped on the ball and looked at Ye Liangqiu on the opposite side, slowly raising his hand, "Are you ready?"
"Then I'm starting!"
The next second, his pupils were stained black, and his speed actually increased again. Even Ye Liangqiu was a little surprised. This guy... still had such speed?
This match had now lasted for nearly ninety minutes.
If it weren't for the condition that either side had to score five goals to end it, the Blue Lock team would have already lost by this point.
However... so much time had passed now.
Loki's speed was still so fast... Ye Liangqiu was dumbfounded; even his S-class physique's recovery speed wasn't this fast... He barely had time to continue thinking.
Loki had already rushed in front of Ye Liangqiu, "I admire you, so I've been observing you in the previous rounds."
"Your explosiveness, your speed, if you receive standardized training, you can improve even faster."
"But... you're too reliant on those eyes right now."
"If you're going to train, you should train one weapon to its extreme first!"
In an instant, there was a "whoosh."
Ye Liangqiu reacted, wanting to reach out and block, but Loki's figure shot past him like a beam of light, leaving behind an afterimage...
All the other professional players also swarmed over at this moment.
Clearly, they weren't going to give any opportunities.
Ye Liangqiu's mind seemed to go blank for a moment... It seemed that this match was already lost from this moment on. This was an unchangeable truth, and he had actually guessed this outcome long ago.
After all... the gap was too big.
Plus, it was a test... Loki's words at the end also proved all of this. These professional players had been testing their true level from beginning to end.
To put it nicely, it was a "match"; to put it bluntly, it was a "fixed game."
Every one of them was a player who had been on the World Cup stage; they naturally knew how to suppress their own strength to a certain state.
When Ye Liangqiu looked back, Loki's figure was like a sickle rushing towards the goal. Itoshi Rin still wanted to block, but he was swept past with almost no chance to resist.
The formation was completely broken.
Until a crisp shooting sound came.
On the big screen, the score directly came to 4:5.
Even the comments went silent... The entire stadium was quiet, and the professional players shrugged at these defeated little monsters.
Shindo Loki walked past Ye Liangqiu but suddenly stopped in place, looking back and saying, "You've done well enough."
"I look forward to our next meeting not being here, but at the World Cup."
At this moment, Ye Liangqiu looked up at the ceiling, his mind blank.
