When a team loses Ego will say "Lock off your not needed." Which also means they get kicked off Blue Lock and never come back
Private Arena: Ubers vs. Challengers Pre-Match Atmosphere The evening sun casts long shadows across the pristine pitch of the Private Arena. Spectators buzz with excitement, their anticipation palpable as the Ubers prepare to face off against the Challengers in what promises to be a thrilling match. Referee's Whistle: The sound resonates through the arena, signaling the start of the match. Kick-off: The Ubers take the kick-off. Lorenzo, positioning himself defensively, is ready to intercept any challenge that comes his way. As the whistle blows, the ball rolls to Shoei Barou, the team’s enigmatic forward. Shoei Barou (Smirking): "Watch this, donkeys!" He pushes the ball forward, dribbling it with flair as Lorenzo anticipates his move and yells over. Lorenzo: "Yo Michael, be ready!" Michael Kaiser (Midfielder): "I’m always ready, L!" As Shoei tumbles into a ‘Gamble shot’, no one knows where the ball will go. The defender from the Challengers, a tall figure named Marcus Ace, is caught off guard. First Attack: The ball veers left, faking Marcus out entirely. Shoei unleashes a hyper-speed shot towards the goal, but the Challengers' goalkeeper, a sharp-eyed player named Deck Fenton, is ready to react. Deck Fenton (With determination): "Not today!" He leaps, catching the ball mid-air, and launches a counter-attack by throwing it to Freddy Lane, the Challenger’s agile striker. Counter Attack: Freddy speeds down the flank. He dribbles past two defenders but is met by Lorenzo, who surprises him with a textbook steal. Lorenzo: "Yo Michael!" Michael: "Nice one, Lorenzo!" He quickly passes the ball back to Shoei, who’s already eyeing the goal. Midfield Battle: Shoei shouts back, “C’mon, someone support me!” As he maneuvers around the defenders, Lorenzo takes advantage of the chaos and moves ahead, preparing for a potential pass. The Challengers regroup, with Marcus closing in. Marcus Ace: “I won’t let you through!” But with a swift ‘Chop dribbling’ move, Shoei spins away. The spectators let out a collective gasp as Barsky, a nimble defender from the Challengers, tries to blockade him. Skill Showcase: Shoei, using his ‘Predator eyes,’ reads Barsky’s movements. He adjusts his path accordingly, aiming for a shot on goal! Shoei: "Too slow!" His foot connects with the ball just right, but Barsky is quick to react. He jumps in for a last-second tackle, yet Lorenzo is prepared. Lorenzo: "I've got your back!" With a swift motion, he punches the ball away, keeping it in play. Defensive Strategy: The Ubers quickly form a defensive wall as the Challengers press on. Lorenzo stands firm while managing to dodge Freddy's attempts at startling him with an unexpected dribble. Freddy: "You'll never see it coming!" But Lorenzo unleashes his ‘Zombie dribbling’ move, moving in an erratic pattern that leaves Freddy baffled. A Return to Offense: Shoei sees the chaos and charges forward. Shoei: "I’ll finish this!" He sends the ball to Michael, who brilliantly flicks it back to Shoei in a well-orchestrated play. The crowd understands their intentions—the Ubers are once again on the attack. Passing the Time: Lorenzo stays back, guarding his territory, his quirky personality echoing in the crowd. Lorenzo: (thinking) "This is my territory, don’t let those dudes pass…" Shoei takes a few steps back, assessing the field before kicking the ball toward the goal. The Shot: With momentum on his side, Shoei lines up for the shot. The power is immense! Shoei: "Gamble shot, here!" But unexpectedly, Marcus jumps in front, blocking the shot. But the ball ricochets easily to Michael, who quickly passes to Lorenzo. Surprise Play: Lorenzo, aiming to catch the defense off-guard, enacts what he calls ‘the Lorenzo run.’ He rushes towards the opponent's side, pulling defenders away. Shoei: "Yes! Open goal!" The crowd erupts as Lorenzo deftly dares to toe-poke the ball towards Shoei. Final Play of Hope: Shoei gathers his strength. He readies for another shot. Shoei: "This one’s for the win!" He launches a heart-stopping kick. The audience holds their breath, while Deck assumes a ready stance. Stunning Defense: But in an unexpected twist, Deck dives to the left, thwarting the ball as it zooms past. The match is still equal as both teams refuse to concede. Deck Fenton: "Not in this life!" Building Tension: With minutes to go, the atmosphere thickens with intensity. Both teams have had opportunities, but the Ubers lack the final touch to seal the deal. Lorenzo: "We can’t lose like this guys! Come on!" A final effort materializes as Freddy speeds down the pitch while Shoei takes an aggressive stance. Tension Peaks: Freddy crosses paths with Lorenzo, who desperately reaches to intercept the ball. He digs deep, channeling the fight within him. Lorenzo: “I won’t let you score!” With sheer willpower, he thrusts for the steal, but the referee’s whistle begins to sound. And the Verdict: Tension and adrenaline explode as the ball goes flying! The crowd reacts, fearing the worst. Referee: "Foul! Red card!" Lorenzo is taken aback, his moment slipping away. Lorenzo: “No! What? I didn’t—" He is ejected from the match, leaving the Ubers at a numerical disadvantage. The Decline: As he leaves, Shoei stares furiously towards the ref. Shoei: "Lock off, you’re not needed!" Final Whistles: With another golden chance for the Challengers, Freddy approaches the goal determined. Deck: “We’ve got this!” An overwhelming atmosphere strikes the arena as the referee blows his whistle, signaling the end of the match with a score of 1-0 in favor of the Challengers. The Ubers’ fate now lies in question, their ranks lowered. Crowd: "Boom! Boom!" echoes in the arena as they cheer for the Challengers. Aftermath: As Lorenzo walks off the field, thoughts clouding his mind, he realizes the weight of his actions. The Ubers face their harsh reality as the day ends; they have been eliminated from Blue Lock. With whispers of ‘Lock off, you’re not needed,’ an empty feeling settles in the hearts of every Uber player.
