Strategy for the upcoming PXG vs. Bastard Munchen match
The grand revelation of the rankings is followed by strategizing for the upcoming match between PXG and Bastard Munchen. Noel Noah makes an appearance after a long time, initiating the meeting to discuss their strategy. On the other hand, Master Julian Loki comes up with personal feedback for every player on his team.
- Starting with Rin, he asks Rin to increase the number of goals, even though the probability of him scoring is already pretty high.
- Moving on to Shido, he asks Shido to work on the accuracy and range of his shots.
- Asking Zantetsu to sprint more and Tokimitsu to improve his coordination with the team, he brings his entire focus to Charles Chevalier.
- Chavalier is seen texting when Loki reveals that Charles is just 15 and he wants to train him to be the best passer. This will help him to become the best striker in the world. Charles defies Loki and tells him that he doesn’t want to listen to Loki and will play by his own rules.
Loki ends the meeting by reminding his team that Bastard Munchen is similar to them. They also have a winning streak and Noel Noa is not to taken lightly.
The chapter doesn’t delve into what Noel Noa said to his team. But similar to Kaiser and Isagi, PXG also has two vying forces, Rin and Shido. To avoid a clash between the two, Julian alternates between the two players. Up till now, Kaiser has sabotaged his team by getting in Isagi’s way.
Noa might have found a way to have the two of them coordinate with each other or adopt a similar strategy as PXG. Having Kaiser off the field might weaken his team but it’s a necessary lesson that Kaiser needs. Or Julian might follow Noa by having both Rin and Shido on the field, as the offensive front of Bastard Munchen is too strong with players like Isagi, Kunigami, and Kaiser.
The playing style of Bastard Munchen and PXG
The chapter ends with an exploration of the playing style of both teams. While Bastard Munchen has two different forces (Isagi and Kaiser) competing against each other, PXG takes turns changing players every 15 minutes. After every 15 minutes, the system changes from Rin to Shido and vice versa. The next match will put Isagi-Kaiser and Rin-Shido against each other.
Conclusion
There’s too much to look forward to in the Bastard Munchen vs. PXG match. We have only seen glimpses of PXG’s performance in the league so far, the next match will finally get us acquainted with the team. With that, the hype is through the roof with how things are progressing in Blue Lock Manga.
