The next morning, Ueno asks Dori for his opinion on the current state of affairs in the team. Dori says that she believes that the current coach is "blowing off some steam" and that he is a "lone wolf" who is trying to help his own team. Ueno wonders if the other players also feel the same way about the coach, and he wonders if they would like to play in a game to decide who gets to play. Dorri says that they would rather have a competition to pick the team's starters than a game where they have to play against each other, and Ueno feels that this is a bad idea. He feels that the players who do not want to lose will play like children, and that they will not be able to compete with the players that want to win. He tells Ueno that he has been trying to get the team to win, but that he does not have the "fancy technique" to do so. He says that the team has had many coaches, but they have all cut players who wanted to "win" like it were nothing, and this is the first time that they have had a coach who did not want the players to lose.
