The previous chapter saw Kaiser being ashamed of having scored a goal by relying on Isagi's build-up play. Hence, he looked forward to scoring the final goal of the match. With the last build-up play leading to few injuries, master strikers Marc Snuffy and Noel Noa decided to get subbed in. At the same time, Hiori Yo got fired up and wanted to play in the match.

Recap of Blue Lock chapter 221

Blue Lock chapter 221, titled Take Me, saw Ness praising Kaiser for his goal. However, Kaiser was ashamed of it as he had to rely on Isagi's build-up play for his goal. That said, he was competing with Isagi for scoring the most goals, hence he needed to score the winning goal of the match.

Soon after, a few injuries on the field led the master strikers to substitute themselves into the match. The intensity of the match instantly increased as Hiroi Yo looked on from the bench, hoping to play.

Blue Lock chapter 222, titled Design, will most likely see the match between Bastard Munchen and Ubers take a new turn. With both master strikers on the field, the players will be introduced to new elements that they will need to quickly understand.

Thus, considering that Snuffy is so close to his team's tactics, there is a good chance that Ubers will dominate the match in the next chapter, possibly ending up equalizing the score in one of the upcoming chapters.
