My opinion of football is that it is one of the most boring and overrated sports ever, so I was quite surprised by my own rating. There isn't a boring moment, the characters are interesting and funny, and the psychological games are very unconventional by Japanese standards, where team spirit and friendship are usually the central motifs in sports anime. In the context of shōnen, especially sports shōnen, it is well above average, and can easily be compared to Kuroko no Basuke or Haikyū in terms of quality. Definitely the best one from this studio and the only thing I'm worried about is how the plot will progress in the next seasons. 24/24 - 85%
