Ehhhhh they are not saying they are poor or anything. U know how serious and cutthroat the football environment in Europe it, these kids are basically gambling on their future, they are either breaking out to become a professional football or become a kid who got pushed out with no proper education (although La masia DOES have educational program that they needed to take and iirc, the club and the academy actually put a serious weight onto education, Messi himself missed a few matches because the club didn't allow him to play due to him failing some classes I think) but yeah, they are gonna be severely left behind compared to other kids if they didn't make it to professional.my god these la masia kids really love to pretend that they're all pisspoor living in a war torn country. spain has the same gdp/capita as japan lol
bruh it's like 2-3 chapters bro, it ain't that long lmao. But yeah, back to the match nowThank you for the translation!
The "deeply moving" conclusion to Demian's past arc!! is finally over. Maybe now we can go back to the manga and talk about tactics in football. W grandma though
the problem is with this whole Barca arc. MC has no development, all he does is standing there hyperventilating like a fucking idiot. We got backstories from several characters that we don't give a fuck about and (I'm 99% sure) we will never see again. WHY. THE. FUCK. should I care about them? I started reading because I was interested in Ashito's story, and in the last two chapters he got ONE PANEL!bruh it's like 2-3 chapters bro, it ain't that long lmao. But yeah, back to the match now
not every chapter does ashito need to have development clearly koboyashi sees demian as such an important character that he needs to develop him to this point, this will al inturn help us understand the battle between barcelona (demian) and esperion (ashito) even morethe problem is with this whole Barca arc. MC has no development, all he does is standing there hyperventilating like a fucking idiot.

with this amount of backstory they might be important later on in the story. They might even play with Ashito in the futurethe problem is with this whole Barca arc.

Damn, this football dude just doesn't die...Has football died yet?
What I've been thinking as well, haha. Like has no one read Haikyuu? That's like 70% flashbacks lol. (And it's kino)....is this everyone's first sport Manga?
Like flashbacks are the most bog standard part of any long running sports manga. You have to humanize your opponents, so the matches actually mean something other than MC beats generic team#3476.
Also, it provides opportunities down the road for new story arcs, as you can use past opponents as a setup team for a newer tougher team.
This is basic sports material.
I fully expect the whole tournament is good enough to fill the coming 36 monthsWhat I've been thinking as well, haha. Like has no one read Haikyuu? That's like 70% flashbacks lol. (And it's kino).
