With one red card, Prince had made himself the most popular master striker.
He was like a dazed sheep that had wandered into a pack of wolves, filling the serious match with laughter.
Tendou gave him a speechless look and uttered one word.
"Idiot!"
Prince's originally excited expression instantly froze.
According to the rules, the punishment for a red card, in addition to being sent off, was an additional suspension.
As for how many matches he would be suspended for, it would be determined by the situation.
For a red card like Prince's, which involved no foul on an opponent and was purely self-inflicted, it would at most be a one-match ban.
It didn't seem like much, but it was actually quite significant.
After all, there were only 5 teams in the Neo Egoist League. A single round-robin meant they only needed to play 4 matches.
If this were a World Cup qualifier, a European Championship, or even the World Cup itself, this kind of action would be, without a doubt, extremely foolish.
"Forget it. As long as the team has you, a suspension is a suspension," Prince quickly recovered.
Tendou had already proven his ability.
Even in a one-on-one against the world's number one, Noa, he had not been at a disadvantage.
In fact, it might be better for the other players and for him to be absent.
The immediate impact Tendou had shown in this match had already reached the level of a starter in the top five leagues.
Once he fully masters Metavision and touches the fifth-dimensional view, he will have a place even in the giant clubs of world football.
Considering his age, not even 18 yet, any team that gets him will definitely focus on his development. In time, he will be a global superstar.
Therefore, even if he himself was suspended, the impact on the team would be limited.
At the very least, Man City didn't have to worry about being bullied by other teams' master strikers during his suspension.
Prince used this reasoning to pay for his foolishness, without any psychological burden.
"I'll be counting on you from now on, Tendou."
"Shouldn't you be a little ashamed of your actions?"
...
The match was over.
Isagi Yoichi supported himself with his hands on his knees, drenched in sweat, his mind groggy.
"Does Metavision have side effects like this?"
The silver-white lightning faded from Tendou's eyes.
In this match, Isagi had successfully grasped Metavision, even ahead of him.
But that was only because the conditions for him to enter Metavision were too demanding.
The starting point of the Six Eyes was just too high.
"No, it's probably because it was my first time entering and I used it without restraint."
He turned his head and looked at Kaiser. The amount of sweat on him was less than Isagi's. It seemed like he would have no problem playing a full 90-minute match.
They had won the match.
But the Man City players were not overly excited.
Because this match was completely The Tendou Show.
From that ultra-long-range lob of over 60 meters, the protagonist of this match could only be him.
Mikage Reo and the others instinctively looked at the screen on the wall.
As expected.
A few minutes after the match ended, their offers were updated.
This time, twenty players from Blue Lock had received offers.
The competition had entered its second round, and all teams had completed their debut matches.
However, out of the dozens of Blue Lock players, only twenty had received offers so far.
It was obvious.
Apart from the players designated to play by sponsors, most of the players had lost in the internal competition.
What was a sponsor nomination?
It referred to the more popular Blue Lock players like Isagi Yoichi and Nagi Seishiro.
At the request of local sponsors, even if they lost the internal competition, they could still play as starters.
In short, the power of cash.
It was worth noting that Tendou also had a sponsor nomination.
This time.
Ego Jinpachi did not appear again to explain. There was only a list on the screen for the players to see.
20th, Karasu Tabito: 12 million.
Because PSG had a bye this round, Karasu's offer remained at 12 million from the last match, unchanged.
19th, Hayate: 13 million.
18th, Miroku: 16 million.
17th, Sendou Shuto: 17.5 million.
16th, Shidou Ryusei: 20 million.
15th, Otoya Eita: 22 million.
14th, Niko Ikki: 23.5 million.
13th, Aryu Jyubei: 25 million.
12th, Oliver Aiku: 27 million.
11th, Gagamaru Gin: 28 million.
...
As you can see, the strong get stronger.
Whether from Blue Lock or the U-20 team, the players who received offers were the core of their original teams' offense and defense.
However, due to Tendou's existence, Yukimiya and Kurona Ranze, who would have received high evaluations in this match, were not on the list.
Apparently, their performance had not impressed the European clubs.
Next were the top ten.
Chigiri Hyoma, with one goal, received an offer of 30 million.
Although he had scored in this match, 99% of the credit for that goal was attributed to Tendou, so his offer was not high.
Next, Itoshi Rin.
He received an offer of 36 million. Even with a bye week, he still broke into the top ten.
But surprisingly, Mikage Reo received an offer of 40 million.
Keep in mind, he had no goals or assists in this match, and it was his first game, yet he received a 40 million offer.
This greatly exceeded people's expectations.
However, the expressions of Noa and Prince were very calm.
Football has never been a game that belongs only to strikers. Even if you are a sniper who never misses, you still need someone to provide the gun and ammunition.
To give an analogy, if you had to choose between a peak Modrić and a peak Lewandowski, who would you choose?
A player like Reo, who can pass, dribble, shoot, and defend, is very valuable.
As a striker, he might be lacking, but he can play as an attacking midfielder or a holding midfielder.
Never underestimate those European clubs just because most of them are run by businessmen.
Even a guy like Woodward, he may not understand football, but he understands business.
They know exactly how much you are worth.
Finally, the TOP 3.
Bachira Meguru, his offer was 66 million.
Isagi was shocked at his friend's offer, which was almost double his own.
This was because in the other match that was played simultaneously, Bachira had scored in consecutive games.
Explosiveness is important, but a football season is a marathon. Consistent output is more valuable.
Second place, Barou Shoei, with a value of a full 100 million!
The second player in Blue Lock to have a value exceeding 100 million was born.
Unexpectedly, he was not any of the top six from Blue Lock besides Tendou, nor was he the genius Nagi Seishiro or Bachira Meguru.
He was Barou Shoei, who could only come on as a substitute in the match against the U-20 team.
The reason he got this offer was simple.
In the match between Juventus and PSG, he represented the "Zebras" and completed a hat-trick, single-handedly winning the match.
"100 million..."
