After Isagi’s equalizing goal, the match became far more intense. Rin’s emotionless expression finally cracks into a subtle glare — he acknowledges that Isagi is no longer a background player.
But Rin wastes no time.
He takes charge immediately and rebuilds the field control like a machine. His passes are razor sharp, his positioning flawless, and his predictions near perfect.
Meanwhile, Isagi’s team struggles to keep up with the increased speed.
Barou attempts to go solo but is instantly blocked by Aryu’s long reach.
Nagi tries a trap, but Rin intercepts before the ball even touches his foot.
Bachira dribbles with flair, but Tokimitsu’s brute strength crushes his path.
Isagi realizes something important:
“Rin doesn’t adapt to the field — he controls it.”
To defeat Rin, Isagi must take control of the “flow” of the match.
