Blue Lock - Conqueror!

Chapter 2: Chapter 2 : Statement



10 Minutes before getting Subbed-In

'The Soccer Player's form has only two fears,

Injury and Age, These things make any Soccer Player anxious, as after reaching his hard-earned peak it will last mostly 5 years and will decline rapidly, The same thing happened to me but that was relieving at some point since my peak where I was stable performer was in my early 30s in the premier league, Even though I was careful with injuries after many years of hard work and not getting chances for obvious reasons that I wasn't extraordinary enough for Management to take risks with, When I got those chances I blew many of them

 

I Played in Mid-Field or as a Winger and was good at dribbling and passing, I also had quite a talent for playing as a Defensive-Midfielder, my biggest flaw was my shooting ability which was solved by the age of 28 which I showcased abilities but couldn't keep them up for long as I was brought down aggressively by a Defender who I Dribbled Passed many times which made him frustrated enough to foul but that foul cost both of us hard, While performing that Tackle on me his nuts were crushed by me

Was that intentional? Yes Totally and would do that same thing again if given the chance, Like he declined my Peak Form and I basically ended his, I was always a quick thinker and was quite decisive which helped me make it look like an accident and get him to look like a trouble-maker there, which he was because to justify my actions I was just taking after what he was intending to do, He wasn't aiming for the ball but my legs and on that moment I thought that this Tackle most likely will end everything for me so I took revenge right away

After that, my speed and dribbling became less than average, and couldn't break through the defence the way I could at my peak form which lasted only for 4 months, I was put in a Mid-Field position which position I held till the age of 31 and since Club had no interest in me and didn't plan to renew the contract I chose to leave and join some low-league to earn money, After signing the deal I straight went home and slept and right after a bit of sleep I was inside of this body

Well, That's all for the epilogue of my story, is it interesting enough huh? System?'

[I Have heard better with more tragic ones but your sounds relaxing especially that Defender Guy, I bet you had some type of Nickname after that right?]

Isagi was having a blast with System which only talked formally this whole time and ended up opening up to him, He found many functions about the System and perks that amazed him, The reason that he didn't show himself to Coach even after waking up was that the System was helping him to get used to his new body

[By the way, You don't seem to be stressed about the Penalty of losing?]

'Well the task is to get selected for the Blue Lock Project, which Isagi gets a letter on the same day he loses this match, which means they have been keeping an eye on these talents from long before and already were considering Isagi for this Project, So just doing the bare minimum on the pitch will suffice the Quest, The Quest was mainly there to prevent me from rejecting the invitation of Blue Lock, at least that's what I think'

[Is that so?]

'Wait!, Do you not know about the story?'

[Ah, No I don't]

[This world's fate has not been provided to me]

'Well, Just stay ignorant then, You might find this interesting that way'

[If you say so]

On the Field, Present

'Oh shit!, I just can't stop smiling, This is so good! I'm Young Again with no injuries! And I can dribble the way I want without much restrictions'

Isagi the second he got the ball made a breakthrough without any care in the world, Mainly his team was attacking according to the strategy provided by the Coach but Isagi was ignoring it all and just started tearing through their midfield

Isagi's Run was interrupted by 3 Defenders while the Left Back was chasing him and both Center Backs were marking him one from the right while one straight head-on to him

Isagi couldn't hold his urge to Dribbling through them even though Tada and the Left Winger were open to pass

Somewhere away he could hear the teammates asking to pass and the coach shout but Isagi couldn't register those words they just fell on his ears while his mind was focused on the current obstacles

The positions of the Center Backs looked just the way he used to perform the Drills with cones and the urge took over cause he just sprinted and at his top speed faked changing lanes to the right but with his right leg kicked the ball to the left right behind the Center Back which was on his left and ran between them to reach the ball

The stadium erupted at the sight of the play which Isagi played out and with no one to interfere his run got close to the penalty box, Behind him was the Right Back who was before marking the Left Winger but seeing Isagi's no pass run left him open and ran towards Isagi to foul him before he could reach the Penalty area

Isagi completely ignored him and Fired the ball into the top left corner, The Goalkeeper jumped to save the shot but was way too slow and was a little far from the ball to stop it and could only watch the ball enter the net helplessly

Ichinan Fans couldn't hold it in and screamed and the sight of the Goal and the hope of them turning the tides which they had lost quite a while ago now resurfaced 

{GOAL!!, Ichinan has scored their first goal, No.11 just sent a message that the game is far from over}

{Yes, Matsukaze Kokuo was very relaxed with their lead but now No.11 turned the morale of both teams upside down}

{Totally, One with Hope while other in Tense}

Commentators who also believed that Matsukaze Kokuo was better felt that the match was still uncertain because Everyone in the stand could see how easily Isagi broke through their defence and scored a Goal with great accuracy, If that form could stay constant then the competition would become much more intense than what it had been up till now

Isagi only stood there as he watched the net with a grin, He was happy but wasn't celebrating since they were still trailing, But his teammates didn't care as they jumped him only defenders and the Goalkeeper stayed behind but were celebrating in the back with many screams

'I Guess my Rank will change, Haha!'
