Lol, all the effort MC put in throughout this whole chapter with Maria helping him out, ended up being for nothing because he playing as the goalkeeper instead of playing striker
Yeah, it's not like he's a midfielder who rarely gets a chance to shine.Wait a minute. If he was weak on soccer fundamentals, the training still helped immensely at goalie especially for clearing the ball back to midfield (we see that he was weak at kicking before).
Plus Goalie is a high visibility position. If they win, he did a good job there. Maybe goalie isn't as sexy as being a forward who scores but it's still presumably easy to get credit.
The punchline doesn't land for me. Is there a Japanese cultural thing going on here where goalies aren't seen as popular?
I think it's just because he was specifically training to score goals, and as a goalie, he never gets to do that.Wait a minute.

Anyway this series already feels dull on chapter 4.
Not sure about Japan, but here in Italy when we played football as kids nobody wanted to be the goalkeeper. It wasn't a fancy role, plus you got the blame if the opponents scored.Wait a minute.

Maria got to see Eiga being cool training at home. So not wasted.All of that work wasted
How many kids say the goalie is their favorite player? How many kids wear a goalie's jersey and pretend to be them?Wait a minute.
