All right, thanks

Let's talk ball

Triangle: core of buildup

It's as simple as it gets. Like they told us in the episode 3 people link with eachother to try to build up some kind of play that can produce goals. The thing about the triangle is its efficiency.

Football is a fast paced game, one hardly has thinking time and in a game of 90mins an average players has possession of the ball for an average time of just a single minute.

So Passing the ball is the most effective and efficient way to score goals in football.

Why?
Becz it's faster,
-it's has an element of -unpredictability
-it conserves player's stamina
-it's press resistant (pressing means when opponent runs at you in order to close down space and to win the ball)

Ao discovery the triangle in this match.
Triangle is one of the various patterns of passing the ball around the pitch.
What advantage 3 people have over 2 people is simple having extra support, support in numbers.
If one teammate is marked (marking in football means an opponent checking over your teammate) you simply pass to the other guy and vice-versa.

Playing in a triangle is like the very nxt step a player learns after basic passing.

Take a look at the image below about how premier league teams pass the ball in triangles (season 2021-2022)

Look how good triangles Man City and Liverpool stir up together. And they scored the most goals in the league.
The teams with little no. of triangles
are not so surprisingly scored lesser amount of goals.

(every team has passed some amount of balls in a triangle but the image only shows it if they do it in more)

Every single professional football team and even many amature teams works with the triangle, the difference is the quality of the triangle.

Ashito: The Flow state

Bluelock readers must be familiar with this term. Its a mental aspect of sports and it actually exists in real life.

Any athelete, yes ANY athelete even you and me, it doesn't have to be football it can literally be any sport it can even be any other activity, ANYONE can enter the flow state.

I will give an example, did it ever happen to you like you are playing a video game for 10 mins and then you check the time and it's been 2 hours since you started playing! You ask yourself "geez the time flew by so fast".
OR
Pov: watching a good anime episode

Yeah that's the flow state.

I have personally been in the flow many times while playing football.

When one is in flow state, they are
- deeply immensed in the activity.
- soo concentrated they lose sense of time.

We will talk about flow in terms of football here.

Flow is the state in which a player performs at the maximum of their ability. They don't need a second thought, it's like everything is happening on its own.

You know what, when one is in flow, they don't really feel tired, they are tired but they don't feel it becz they are enjoying the moment.
It's actually like a superpower but anybody can have the key to it.

Anybody can enter flow but not everyone enters flow, becz there are elements like pressure and discomfort which ruins the pleasure. Well great players seek pressure and they enjoy working with it and ofcourse they enter the flow state more than other players who crumble under the pressure.

How to enter flow?

There is no real rocket science here, one just needs to enjoy what they are doing with a little bit of challenge to work the brain, otherwise without challenge things will get boring and you won't enjoy it.

Ao entered the flow state but he looked tired in the eyes. Thats becz of all his weeks of overtraining at nights. He was not feeling the fatigue becz he was immensed in the game.

Another thing that's actually NOT a super power is how Ao was able to predict the opponents movements.

Many players can do that and it's called "reading the play" . It comes with experience and talent does affect the quality one can "read the play".

Every player weather its a defender, a midfielders, a forward they all have ability to read the play but they use it for different purposes.

Umm are you god?

It's kinda funny that tachibana made ohtomo and asari shake hands he's so dense and not shy

I think you ignore how amazing Ashito's spatial vision is. I agree with everything you said, but you ignored that special aspect of him. I have a soccer friend with spatial vision equivalent to Ashito's or better. We played competitive long ago, but quit on soccer back in our early 20s. It's a truly beautiful ability to be able to see that far around out of your eye, but it does stress the mind quite a bit according to my friend. All in all, Ashito has been made very realistic.

The reason it's amazing & special is because it's a natural ability for Ashito. For young players there's 2 types initially, one is pure graft (hard work and ability) while another is natural ability. The rare ones are the ones that have both. I used to play youth club football but I fall in the first category which is hard work. You can somewhat gain that spatial ability if you're not a natural but it involves honing your basic skill first of receiving and passing the ball as well as moving with the ball.

My former coach trained us to always raise our heads and look around before receiving the ball. Even a quick glance would be enough. This helps in terms of positioning & movement of not just your teammates but the opposing team players as well. No matter what, you will have to look at the ball when receiving a pass or passing it to someone else. So that quick glance will give you the basic information. The next level stuff like making a long pass, from a deep lying position to the opposite flank or making dummy runs and intricate plays comes from the training sessions with the team. If you know your teammates habits and how they move with and without the ball from these sessions, you can almost always roughly guess what they're gonna do next when you have the ball. That quick glance or raising your head to look around is a visual confirmation of what your thought processes were regarding your teammates, thus giving you the info you need to plan your next move.

Yes, I agree. I was also trained in a similar fashion by my own coach, and it's really interesting to hear about the training from your point of view. Also as you surmised, by "special," I was referring to how natural it is for Ashito.

I'm aware of that
It's in the 1st episode
Waiting for the anime to reveal it lol

Ah I see lol

Ashito has unlocked his special ability talent and he learned that passing the ball is nice

Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea: "Yo, I heard you like triangles, so I put triangles in your triangles so you could triangle while you triangle."

Burnley, Brentford, Watford, Newcastle, Norwich, Aston Villa, Everton: "...what the frick is a triangle???"

Germany play be like: Triangles are my favorite shape... Lets tessellate

Flow, also known as being In The Zone or simply, the Zone.

So this means he has zoneingan eyes 👀 pretty sharp deep indeed 😀

This is better organized than my school notes

Field Vision is Intricate part of becoming elite when you can see where they are now an where they will be in the next few moments is when youve become 1 with your surroundings this is also where feints & jukes /stutter steps become the next part of your skills improving. Because. This is where you learn if you step here the opposition. Reacts an moves a certain. Way thus allowing to also control there actions 👍

In basketball its the ZONE mode

I have heard about the flow, but I didn't know you could be in that state for such a long time. I thought it was just a short period.

I love your analysis every episode. As a basketball player, i've been in a flow multiple times, also in my studies and gym workouts. In a couple simple life situations too.
But man those times i'm in a flow in basketball, you really can't put it into words, i won't even try.

bruh

One good way to assess the importance of triangles is to look at the most used formations. It's not uncommon to have 3 forwards or a triangle in the mid. Three centrebacks, with one of them being the libero, can be very efficient if well trained.
Also, in football duos or "squares" are not as notorious as trios. Think of Real's BBC (Bale, Benzema, Cristiano Ronaldo) and Barcelona's MSN (Messi, Suarez, Neymar).

its true but it's depend on player too,if you has someone like Diego maradona this so called triangle is not needed, he often bring ball by himself running from mid field and score it by himself whothout even need to pass ball to someone else (definitely one man army) . that's why ppl call him hand of god

People don't call him "hand of God" but the incident behind it. He literally scored a goal vs England with his hand in the world cup and Argentina won the match.

Using crow vision. Love how cute Hana was when eating that piece of meat

Those crows were talking lol while ashito was in crown vision mode

It's called spatial vision

That last sentence can be taken in a different way 🤣🤣🤣

Had me internally screaming Kuraaasuma! But then realized wrong anime.

You mean Karasuno right?

Yeah thats um what I meant. 👉👈

I figured haha! Got an explosion for me? uwu

Explooooooooooosion!

This was definitely taken out of contexts ...

"Using crow Vision." is a sentence fragment because it is an incomplete sentence structure. (Please use Subject + Verb and a complete thought when completing a sentence.)

** I wonder if anyone can appreciate my humor here. **

It's called spatial vision.

This comment is pretty weird out of context xD

Desperate times call for desperate BOTs selling everything...

Ashito told asari to pass the ball to ohtomo was brilliant he made the opponent chase after him and now ohtomo is wide open and he scored a goal

Yellow card for talking s*** to an injured player!

I think that is a legit rule lol

Oh yeah
booking for dissent

That guy with the coach the guy with a cap is interested to ashito and he look so familiar

I think that's Kuribayashi. The 16 year old prodigy they were watching on TV at the restaurant.
