I shall continue on the list of problems of every member then.

Matatagi Hayato - trust issues (solved during the match against Korea's national team, Fire Dragon)

When someone lost his/her belongings, the suspect would immediately be him as well as all the blame, this all because he had been caught stealing once, which had always made him the prime suspect 1].

When Fire Dragon's match started, Manabe lost his wallet which he had blamed Matatagi over it. However, Matatagi claimed to not have stolen it. This had led to further complications during the match which some team members refused to pass the ball to Matatagi. During the half-time, Matatagi's brother came to clear his innocence, which Matatagi chased them out and told his situation. When Tenma asked about it, he revealed it being the fact that his brothers were too hungry when there was no breadwinners in the family which had caused them to steal bread. Being caught by the police, Matatagi claimed to be the mastermind behind this and thus lost the trust of others near him after the incident.

After the break, he later gained Manabe's trust in handling the ball. However, due to Manabe's wallet being missing, he still insisted that Matatagi stole it and is in a bad relationship with him. However, Manabe's wallet was found in his jersey's pocket and he promised to apologise to Matatagi on this issue. 2]

Nozaki Sakura - Family Pressure (solved during match against Big Waves)

Being pressured by her parents to always remain at the top, she joined the soccer team to be admitted in the world gymnastics team. However, her attitude had made her unable to do so, making use of her team members as stepping stones to climb over the top, which had been criticised by her team members continuously. 3]

Due to her parents' pressure before and during the match as spectators, she tried to make herself outshine, being pressured by her parents to excel in soccer and gain public attention of her skills which she had displayed through flexible moves during the match. She used many methods, including inventing a hissatsu by herself, which had failed, to gain public attention and show the spectators her fullest abilities. However, she later caused many passes which led to a shoot, which Tenma and Tsurugi remarked that if it weren't for her performance today, the successful shoots made by the team towards the goal might not be possible.

Her father is still not convinced about her performance as she did not perform shooting towards the goal when possible, but her mom was surprised about how she enjoyed playing soccer during the match which have been conveyed to her.After the match, Tenma suggested to her about being top in the world as the team instead of just herself, which Nozaki later agrees. 4]

Kusaka Ryuuji - Anger issues (solved during the match against Shamshir)

Being prone to feeling anger and displaying violence, to the point he can damage a soccer ball easily 2], had made him a feared person in his school and also in the team, which he is also shown to display a split personality. However, as Manabe explained, during his childhood, he was a gentle person but his cause of anger issues was left unknown. But his gentle side was shown while he was practising diligently.

During the match against Shamshir, she saw a girl which she knows in the spectators' area, which his past was revealed relating to her which had also turned out to be his cause of being angry easily. When he was young, he wanted to protect the girl, Sato, from being bullied. However, he was too weak and was unable to protect her. However, later, he wanted to protect her after that incident and started to use violence so as to protect her from being harmed, causing her split personality. During the match, he was teased because of his weak skills displayed and when mocked, he starts to injure the players, which earned the team a foul. Konoha later remarked to Tenma that his violence was not intentional at all as she said she's experienced the same feeling before. (citation needed, will improve this sentence after the episode is out streaming.) 5]

Thoughts:

- Their problems are all solved during the match, and it didn't seem that the people involved intentionally wanted to do any harm, but the reasons for doing were with a hint of virtue which had distorted their minds to be against virtue, in most cases.

Matatagi wanted to defend and protect his brothers, Nozaki wanting to meet her parents' expectations (filial piety) and Kusaka wanting to protect others close to him.

- Out of these, there are always spectators involved, which the ones involved are familiar of. So, there'd always be the pressure for them to perform well.
