Because they are already tired from the running test before that .. They have about 30 minutes rest at most before that game.
The one touch ban means that the opposite side have to pressurized to win the ball.. Its a very tiring process.. pressuring, back to formation, pressuring .. Tatsumi also bet on the fact that the sub team have their pride and will try to win the ball at all cost. Also if he allow the one touch game from the very beginning, his team will get scared and will lose the ball more easily, but by telling the boys to keep the ball first, he ensure that they are more settled while the other team gets more irritate and tired There's a lot of psychological play involved in his strategy for that single training match.. Something that only possible after he spend his whole night watching the team on the CD.

In addition to what KiNa has already said, it doesn't seem to suit their playstyle. Since they are more used to facing teams that are stronger than them, they employ a defensive strategy (which is why the kids call it boring), and striking back only when the opposing team makes a mistake through a counter attack. Thus, they are not used to a regular pressuring strategy that is better suited for weaker teams that they rarely face and therefore become ineffective as a whole.

Yes, basically you receive the ball and immediately distribute it to better positioned teammate. Basically its give and go. No dribbling aka run with the ball.
You need a good team with good passing and awareness to play a quick one touch game, but as Tatsumi said, because the opponent already tired up and cant keep up... they can just pass, chase, and pass again to the other side.

I don't even like football or sport in general, so I'm a bit of a sports anime n00b, but there's nothing like a good story well told and this episode pushed all of the right buttons for me. I'll definitely be on board for a little while longer.

Yea.. so far (2 episodes given) it been a nice ride.. The last football anime I watched is Whistle! and I was glued to my screen for the whole series
I downloaded the whole series so didnt have to wait each week Still, this anime gave a nice challenge.. team so low in morale, broken teamwork and I'm sure theres more problem down the road, so it gave a nice challenge .. the tactic so far been tactically sound as well (well, only 1 match ). I'm watching it to test my tactical skill as well As long as there are enough info, I hope I can deduced each and every match tactic and why it is chosen. >.< I'm a tactic junkie if you havent realised it yet

I’m not much of a sports manga/anime fan to be honest but after reading some comments about this anime I decided to give it a try and watch the first episode. To my surprise it was good and I really enjoyed watching.
This is not my first soccer anime; my first ones are Goal Field Hunter and Captain Tsubasa. Episode 1 The episode was very entertaining and had some pretty good surprise moments like when we find that Tatsumi is the President’s son or like when we find that Tatsumi had been the star of ETU in his younger days or like in the end when we find the reason why he made the players take that run test and how he’ll decide who are the regulars and who the substitutes. So far my favorite character is Tatsumi. I can’t wait to learn more about him! Episode 2 What a cool and fun series this one is! I’m enjoying watching GK so much! This episode made me like Tatsumi even more than before, he is just so awesome! I love his personality, his way of thinking, he is such an interesting character. I got very excited while watching the game of the regulars vs. the substitutes, just as excited as when I watch a real soccer game. I figured out what Tatsumi was trying to do even before Murakoshi did, that was such a smart tactic by Tatsumi. After the conversation between Tatsumi and Murakoshi I have a new respect for Murakoshi and Tatsumi. I’m really interested in seeing how the relationship between Tatsumi and Murakoshi develops, especially because they are not in the best of terms atm and because they are so different from each other. I so can’t wait to watch the next episode!

Well this manga/anime is unique since instead of the physical ability of sports, it focuses on the mental part of sports and it gives good insight on how a real strategist thinks on how to make a team tick.
As SunTzu said, know your opponent and know one's self and you will not be in peril of 100 battles. |

Wait, I thought Yuri (the PR girl) was the President's son? I remember her calling the President's Dad and the vice president Uncle, but I can't remember Tatsumi being his son as well.

For another comparison, I am much more familiar with baseball, and yet this show has done far more for me in its first three episodes than Cross Game did. We'll see how things progress. By the way, thanks to the people discussing strategy and tactics (formations, etc.). I do watch some football (soccer), but I don't know a lot about the details of the game, so I'm gaining something. I've noted recently that in the US, some people are using the Spanish word "futbol" to refer to Association Football (i.e., soccer). Seems reasonable to me.

Well…I’m a bit confused tbh, and I'm still trying to find out if Tatsumi and Yuri are cousins. I know Yuri is the daughter of the barkeeper and the barkeeper is the younger brother of the President, but since Tatsumi called the President “old man” I thought he was his son but I’m not sure anymore...

Hi guys
This series is a very nice suprise for me who have always loved football. Watch many games on weekends. I like how the eps so far show its about tactic,coaching side of football. Its about a team and not just some uber talented young player with supernatural abilities. I dont care about the animation outside how the actual games look. Story,character wise will decide if this anime is a good series or not. Nice to see many people who know football here. I assumed it would be people who think Soccer like an alien sport like in North America. |

I can't deny that's basically true, at the professional level. But there is a large minority here that has played the game. Up to age 13, more kids in the US play organized soccer than any other team sport. And there are actually more youth soccer players in Canada than hockey players. And professional soccer is gaining in popularity. The Seattle Sounders had an average attendance of almost 31,000 chanting, scarf-waving fans a game last year. (Team owned by Paul Allen, who was Bill Gates' partner in founding Microsoft.)
