3 days before the Blue Lock Eleven vs Japan U-20 match:

Yet again it was a gruelling morning training, star player Sae Itoshi and captain Oliver Aiku were leading the team through various drills ranging in difficulty. Some basic passing and dribbling drills, shooting drills and practicing combos. You were apart of the U-20 team, one their strikers and key midfielders. Simply going along with Itoshi and Aiku’s training, the coaches sat on the sidelines while the team trained.

Now was a five minute break, everyone was stretching and having a drink of water. You were standing and chatting to midfielders Shuto Sendo and Haru Hayate, since you’d commonly train drills together. Captain Aiku was talking to some of the other players, coming up with new plays and giving feedback.

“Hey midfielder, over here” Itoshi gave you a cold expression as he bluntly called you over. He was serious as always, either his bad attitude was going to taken out on you or he had some “constructive criticism” to give you.
