Anri Teieri joined the Japan Football Association with a clear mission: to get Japan winning the World Cup. She's the one who pitched the Blue Lock Project—the idea of developing the perfect striker from scratch—and convinced the JFA to back it. That kind of confidence doesn't come easy, especially when you're surrounded by people who dismiss you.
And yeah, plenty of people at the JFA did dismiss her. They treated her like a dreamer with a nice figure and nothing else to offer. But Anri's not the type to back down. She's calm on the surface but genuinely determined, and she cares about football in a way that clearly runs deeper than just her job. She's willing to say what she thinks, even when it goes against what the business side of the federation wants to hear. That independence, combined with her actual vision for the team, is what keeps her pushing forward.
