1. Why is the ground that grows players so different
In the later arc of Aoashi, the stage moves to Spain. What's thrust at Ashito there isn't a gap in technique. It's the fact that the very environment that raised them is utterly different.
Players who, from a young age, bathed in success and failure at a youth setup like Barcelona's. While the Japanese player is desperately "thinking, thinking," the European top player is already beyond that. Is this a gap in cleverness? Or —
This time I want to read this "environment gap" alongside two books: Jared Diamond's Guns, Germs, and Steel and, again, Bourdieu's Distinction.
