In the midst of the worst defeat in the club's history, Ueno and the other players discuss the situation. Ueno says that the team is in a bad mood, and that the captain looks like he's not in the mood to be at the club. He's also complaining about the lack of energy in the locker room. He asks Ueno if he has the technical skill to kick the ball up, and Ueno responds that he hasn't had a losing record against Etsaku since the first time they met in Yokohama. The two argue about tactics, with Ueno saying that the forwards have it easier than the backs, because they're more likely to score when they get the ball. He also says that if the forwards start scoring again, they'll get back into the game. The other players agree that they can't take this as a shameful loss, but Ueno argues that they were 15th in the league last year, and this is their only chance to get out of it.
