He literally only participated because he was interested in this Japanese team and Kuribayashi. And the club only allowed him to play for 45 minutes for the whole tournament.
Kuribayashi is the same, but he's allowed to play one full game.
Wonder where Damian will come in.
Their front 3 now is..
Xhaka (RW)
Gato / catboy (LW)
Diniz (CF) - this guy didn't really get the spotlight so far.
Demian is huge and two-footed (though originally lefty), so he'd probably come in for the CF. Or maybe Xhaka moves to CF and Demian will play...
A peak realistic sports manga cut because of lesser popularity.
(Shonen magazine though so more pressure to cater to younger tastes. Also 47 volumes is an amazing enough run.)
If Ao Ashi don't have too much 'chapter space' after this match, they should follow the path of Haikyuu. That is one...
The new guy's probably the LW.
They mentioned that he plays at the same side as Ashito a few chapters ago. He looks smaller too (since he's the only 1st year here..)
We'll keep going back to the explanation in chapter 274. He'll stay at fullback but one who is free to dictate from the back with his instructions / passing.
Using the example of Trent, He's got such amazing vision and passing that some fans want him to be played at CM, but he doesn't really...
That would be biting bigger than what they can chew. So far we're purely focusing on 'youth development', and now we only got a glimpse on how the 'business' of youth players in Europe works.
For real. I caught up sometime in the first half of the Aomori match and just put the series on hold for a year or so.
Reading ~45 chapters of a single match weekly must've been a drag. It was amazing reading it in one go, though.
I love the bonus chapter that lets us know about Kuwana's endeavor.
Hopefully we get to see what the likes of Ayukawa and Hashida are doing too later, even if just a bit.
