Recap of Blue Lock Chapter 257
In Blue Lock chapter 257, titled Two-Gun, Isagi was getting ready to score his goal after receiving an early cross from Hiori. Suddenly, Shidou came charging at him from the left. As a result, Isagi quickly changed direction and ran away from the ball. While Shidou was momentarily confused, Kunigami headed the ball towards Isagi, freeing him up in front of the goal. Just as Isagi was about to score, Rin and Kaiser caught up to him.
In an attempt to prevent Isagi from scoring a goal, both players tried to interfere with his opportunity. However, Isagi came up with a clever solution and created a new move to deceive them. He executed a feint shot with his left foot, and then quickly followed it with a direct volley with his right foot, resulting in the equalizing goal.
What can readers anticipate in Blue Lock chapter 258?
In chapter 258 of Blue Lock, it is expected that Yoichi Isagi will provide an explanation of how he managed to score the equalizing goal. Instead of attempting a volley from the early cross like most players would, Isagi carefully assessed the situation and strategically involved Kunigami in the attack. This resulted in a collaborative effort between Kunigami, Hikaru, and Isagi to score the goal, showcasing the peak of their individual performances.
Furthermore, the upcoming chapter is likely to showcase the reactions of other players, particularly Michael Kaiser and Rin Itoshi who were outsmarted in the previous goal. There is also a possibility that both teams will make adjustments to their roster in the upcoming chapter.
