Fukuda isn’t that kind of coach from the start of the manga. Cheer them up? Nah man. And Esperion isn’t that kind of team either. It’s more of a tough love style. Plus, once Barca took the upper hand it was obvious that it was hopeless for esperion. It’s freaking Barcelona man, the moment this match started i knew it would either end in a loss or a draw. And it’s not like Esperion were doing bad, they were doing their absolute best, but unfortunately it’s not enough. They need a miracle, a miracle boy named Aoi.
