Here’s who Seishiro Nagi would be in real life

The recent chapters of Blue Lock manga haven’t been kind to Seishiro Nagi, his developmental graph has taken a dip. As disappointing as he has been, he’ll probably rise stronger and better than ever before. Nagi continues to remain a fan favorite despite his last few performances. Simply because he’s an intriguing and easily likable character. 

As we already know Kaneshiro has taken inspiration from real-life players for a lot of Blue Lock characters, ever wondered who Seishiro Nagi would be in real life? If yes, this article mentions a few players who might be the inspiration behind Seishiro Nagi. 

Seishiro Nagi in Real Life 

Dennis Bergkamp

 

Bergkamp is the first player to come up whenever someone asks who Seishiro Nagi would be in real life. Bergkamp’s performances against Newcastle United, Leicester City (hat-trick), and Argentina were perfect portrayals of his skills. 

Nagi showcases similar skills in Blue Lock. He’s the person you can count on when you are looking for someone to score goals. He would receive the ball and gracefully lead it to the goal which is also similar to the renowned Dutch player. Bergkamp’s ability to create goals was admired by the masses. Nagi resembles Bergkamp visually as well. 

Dimitar Berbatov

Nagi is the lazy genius of Blue Lock, naturally gifted with physical abilities to excel as a footballer. Berbatov was admired for his vision when it came to the field. He knew how to position himself on the field extremely well. His knowledge of the field paired with his excellent ball control and first touches were his ultimate weapons on the field. 

While Berbatov’s skills could be considered innate, Nagi is naturally skilled but plays instinctively as well. His teammates help him as well by passing him the ball exactly where he’d need it. But Nagi undoubtedly bears a strong resemblance to Berbatov. 

Zinedine Zidane

Reo and Nagi are Zidane split into two separate people. While Nagi got his skills, Reo was bestowed with his vision. Parallels could be drawn between how Nagi and Zidane control the ball, but except for that, they are extremely different. Simply because Zidane incorporates his intelligence into his games, whereas the intelligent part of Nagi’s plays comes from Reo. 

Conclusion

While Nagi resembles these players a lot, they are not the only ones. He shares similarities with Ronaldo and Neymar as well when it comes to his exceptional ball control. Most Brazilian Players would qualify to be the inspiration behind him as they are known to be good trappers with remarkable ball control.
