Why did he think that his team would not be defiled by Orion since he knew his brother and his dirty tricks perfectly? He consciously agreed to lose with America, during the match with Navy Invader he wondered if Bernard's plan would succeed. He was aware of what Bernard could do. He loves soccer so much and takes care of it but why did he allow Bernard to do this all and naively thought that he was safe? And now he suddenly protested and left.

Edit: Actually Froy's behavior at the end was a bit like a spoiled child: someone took my toys, so I'm gonna leave the sandbox now, bye. I really think he should stay and try to convience his teammates, showing them his true passion and feelings to soccer, not only talking.

Just like his hissatsu implies, Froy in innocent. "Innocent" is a word originally means that "a naivety that can harm you". Froy is naive. He thought if he can win and lose according to Bernard's order then it doesn't matter. And indeed, Bernard doesn't suffer anything from it. Froy just doesn't understand that Bernard doesn't only want to win over Japan but break them emotioonally. And also because Bernard wants to teach Froy his place, that Bernard decides to do it in a harsh way. Bernard feels like Froy is getting out of control soon and he needs to put Froy in his place again.

Froy loves the fun soccer brings him, and doesn't care about his thought on soccer. He doesn't need to know what is right and wrong soccer. He only needs to know what will bring the fun to him. He is a child...
