My greatest weapon is my dribbling.
Bachira’s ability to leave rivals puzzled primarily relies on his incredible dribbling skills. He is so good at it that it is sometimes almost impossible to take the ball from him in one-on-one situations. He beautifully incorporates nutmegs, marseille turns, midair elastico, and rabonas into his gameplay, making it difficult to decipher his thought process and, in turn, contain him.
5Sae Itoshi
Japan’s Best Footballer
Sae Itoshi is a passive dribbler who likes to play the waiting game to decipher technical flaws in his rivals. Once he has them figured out, he likes to sneak past them with one fluid movement, leaving no option for recovery.
In the game against Blue Lock Eleven, Sae single-handedly exposes the fault lines in their defense using his superior dribbling. It appears that his unique technique is quite advanced, and only international players with years of experience can stand a chance against him, as Ego’s mentees struggle to even understand his moves.
4Alexis Ness
Bastard Munchen’s German U20 Star
As an offensive midfielder, Alexis Nessunderstands that he is expected to create goal-scoring opportunities for the strikers, and he is incredibly good at it. The consummate dribbler is almost impossible to stop because of his flexible ankles and hyper-rational technique, which makes him a nightmare for the opposition.
A violation of loyalty to Kaiser. That’s your first yellow card.
With no wasted movements, Ness dribbles past even the best defenders to control Bastard München’s flow of offensive play. In the Neo-Egoist League, teams struggle to contain him, especially in the presence of prodigious strikers like Michael Kaiser.
3Noel Noa
Jinpachi Ego’s Former Teammate
Regarded as the best striker in the world, Noel Noa is a French striker who plays for the national team and also represents Germany’s Bastard München. While his success can be attributed to many factors, dribbling is without a doubt one of his biggest strengths.
Noa is so skilled at dribbling that he can move at high speed without making a mistake, almost as if he were a machine. If that alone does not make him a frightening striker to defend against, Noel truly shines because of the ambidexterity that allows him to dominate at the highest level of football.
2Leonardo Luna
The Scion Of Real Madrid
Leonardo Luna is a professional Spanish footballer who is widely regarded as one of the best players in the world. In the Spanish League, he represents the strongest club in the world, Re AI, which is also home toworld-class players like Sae Itoshi.
As a striker, he relies heavily on his dribbling to exploit the opponent’s weak points and score goals. His weapon is further bolstered by his swift reflexes and intuition. Jinpachi Ego rates him quite highly and picks him for the Team World Five to test his mentees.
1Lavinho
Brazillian Master Striker
FC Barcha’s top-scorer,Lavinho is a dangerous strikerwhose perfect dribbling technique allows him to glide past defenders without breaking a sweat. He has developed a unique playing style by inculcating elements of Afro-Brazillian martial arts and dance, Capoeira, which allows him to move in a way that only the best in the world can follow.
When Lavinho is at his best, he uses his technique called the Rising Dance to take on two opponents at once. He first performs a rainbow flick to outsmart the first, then goes on to use him as a wall to stop other players from intercepting him. Rising Dance is an extremely technical and stylish move that showcases Lavinho’s superior dribbling and strategic thinking at its very best.
