ao ashi 280 absolutely loved this exchange between the two coaches. you can see how passionate they are in teaching and raising these young players to become the best version of themselves. though their styles may be different, their underlying philosophy remains the same.

ao ashi 282 this moment really makes you think back all the way from the beginning with his mother's final push and the goal he had never lost sight of. football to him is more than his own self-interest in the sport–he does it for the important people in his life as well.

and this scene displays his determination and straightforwardness to seize the chances he gets to achieve that goal. even with the camaraderie he has built with his current team, he knows he has to choose this opportunity for himself instead.

just gonna casually get into another series on hiatus whats new
