I think we should not be amd about it, if they had real madrid in the NEL instead of barcha, which is supposed to be the strongest club in the world and IRL, I don't think any team would beat them. And then we would also have pxg vs rma that is rin vs sae And it would end on some 3-0 type score each game.
The Mentor of Barcha shouldnt be lavihno but rather someone who is based on Xavi or Iniesta. Finally a team which wins because of the tactics not because of individual quality. Barcha should be on par with Real Madrid like irl. I Wouldnt have a problem if they were inconsistent but they shouldnt lose every game. It would also be cool if barcha Wins against Pxg, like the legendary remontada Moment Irl.
I feel like shidou would’ve done well on Barcha with Bachira and maybe somebody like tokimistu I feel like he would find his confidence on a team like that and they would’ve been a actual threat
Shidou and bachira both have a free reflexive play style so they'd work well here and tokimitsu should learn to be more brave so I think he'd fit in well in this team
Really when he's literally the one carrying his team on his BACK. And the reason why he's the fourth highest because of how he has to carry his entire team.
Bachira having an awakening would be beautiful. Just soloing Manshine into a hat-trick would be so beautiful. As it stands Nagi needs frustration and needs to ride solo. Same goes for Reo. They both evolved when they were away from each other. A super frustrated Nagi can only be brought out by Barou, after that getting back with Agi would be best for him.
Lavinho isn’t suitable to be a coach/mentor. He doesn’t provide a sufficient environment for his students to learn. Luckily, Bachira is his twin so he got 1 good player but the rest of the players didn’t develop because of Lavinho’s philosophy to teaching.
Lavinho is not coach material. He isn’t willing to properly communicate and train these younger players. He is a perfect example of great player does not mean great coach.
@@hikikostudioshe’s teaching them more a philosophy. Seeing how it’s a freedom of expression him coaching them on how to do it would go directly against it. While winning is important to them getting bids it’s suppose to focus more on their developmental. And as we learned scoring isn’t everything

FC Barcha may be inspired by FC Barcelona but since the real team has one of the most competent academies ever with top to bottom great player development it is hard to pass it on, if the Autor ever wanter to make it look like the real La Masia he would have chosen a different player than Lavinho, he would make a character inspired by Messi, and have Bachira have a real rival like Gavi and have them actually explore the tiki taka style football but that goes aganist everything Ego and Blue Lock stands for, as it is a team play style instead of an egoist style.
They might actually lose 0-3 against PXG. Not to mention a new key player in PxG called charles has been feeding rin and shidou assist in that game. I assume he has done the same in PxG vs Man city
Spoiler warning for chapter 245: They didn't get clapped 3-0 as i feared but they lost 3-2. It's not as bad as i thought it would've been as man city lost 3-1 to ubers.
Bachira and Otoya scored in that match but it was stated that they were only able to make an impact because Lavinho came in and created the chances for them.
I feel like even though it would mean a lack of development for a lot of players, this outcome would still be acceptable for Ego. Not saying it was his plan, but if one of his top class players was an absolute shit teacher, if one or two of his blue lockers was still able to grow in that environment then that just means he’s that much closer to finding the lone best striker
Yeah FC BARCHA overall got the short end of the stick. They don’t have a new gen 11, a capable coach or an actual competitive team. Just Bachira x Otoya vs the world.
Not only that, majority of the main cast aren't even on Barcha. Its really only otoya and megumi while teams like ubers have barou, nikko, aryu, aiku and teams like manshine got nagi, reo, and chigiri. PXG and BM are even more stacked.
Gotta agree with KolaKD and BakeR. Manshine City overall looks mroe competitive against Barcha especially if Nagi does achieve an awakening against Ubers. But anything can happen!
I am almost sure that there won’t be enough game play time to have them both go into an awakening from Nagi And a development story for barcha so I tend to agree but the thing about blue lock is that it’s never what you expect
Probably because they didn’t want to do a NEL team with Sae since he just got so much screen time. That way they can focus solely on Isagi and Rin’s stratum being broken in terms of skill without Sae being a factor.
Honestly would love to see that happen. It would give Isagi and Kaiser for opportunities to prove themselves and we get to see more of the player match ups.

Remember Lavinho had to come in and help them tho. Loki did not play in that match. So even with the Master Striker FC BARCHA still lost to Shidou’s PXG team with NO LOKI! So actually you can make the debate FC BARCHA is still the worst.
Good question, assuming Kaneshiro wanted to link Bachira with Spain Stratum. That would be my top guess because Barcha would be a better fit for Bachira more than Real.
Arguable, because the only reason BARCHA didn’t lose 0-3 is because Lavinho played and Loki didn’t. So Lavinho had to pull a carry job while it was only PXG U20 players and no Master Striker. So in theory if Loki did play then it could have easily still been 3-0 or 3-1z
Also Lavinho is kind of pathetic, nobody can denied his skill, but his philosophy is basically "i am already the best, and nobody can tell me otherwise" which is pretty delusional.
Nah man city is gonna beat FC bachira 1 chigiri is blitzing everyone in that team including lavinho, You have Reo whith the Copy abilities/Passes and crazy IQ /Nagi the control God/And Chris prince - CR7
This just ruin the sport, scoring goal is not the all point of soccer how you score the goal is just as important. Stryker can't just grab the ball and run and shoot. It more about intellect and positioning.

Their Master’s training method is basically “believe in yourself and you can do it, trust me bro”
Basically lol

Its a shame that this team has been underperforming. Bachira has been excelling but the overall team is so lackluster compared to the other NEL teams.
At least, Bachira will survive and get to play for the Japan U20 Team.
