What can you expect from Blue Lock Chapter 361?

Chapter 360 ended with Teddy Knight talking negatively about self-affirmation and claiming that he draws strength from feeling inadequate. That implies that Blue Lock Chapter 361 may focus on Teddy's background and elaborate on how his mentality came to be before playing for England.
On Japan's side, the next chapter may show Isagi trying to reset himself after failing to read Teddy twice in a row. The score is still 2-1. Since more than half of the match is still left, a substitution or adjustment may be made by Japan's coaching staff. Neither Kunigami nor Shido has been introduced into the match yet, meaning they can still make an appearance in Blue Lock Chapter 361.
What happened in Blue Lock Chapter 360?

In Blue Lock Chapter 360, Isagi is up against Teddy Knight in a one-on-one battle, with both sides having support from their fans. Teddy shows off his newly learned skill by stopping his move and quickly attacking Isagi, who could see everything through his Metavision.
After that, Isagi called Reo and Karasu in to take the ball, but Teddy revealed they did not have to worry because that was all part of their plan. He managed to quickly pass the ball away, which started a passing movement from the other members of the English team who could dodge Japan's defense.
England's players explained that their disciplined and ego-free way of playing football is not something forced by Fox – they chose to play this way of their own accord, having the same plan of World Cup victory as Japan. The information shocked Isagi because he could not stimulate the ego he thought existed in the system.
The chapter ended with Teddy crossing the ball to Lockhart, who scored a header despite Reo and Aiku jumping into it. After that, Teddy said a few words to shocked Isagi, explaining that what inspires him is actually self-incompetence. This sets up what Blue Lock Chapter 361 will likely explore in more depth.
