Catenaccio (カテナチオ, Katenachio) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Daisuke Morimoto. It was initially published as a one-shot published on Shueisha's Tonari no Young Jump website in January 2022. It later began serialization in Shueisha's seinen manga magazine Weekly Young Jump in October of the same year.
The title refers to the ultra-defensive tactical system in soccer called catenaccio.
Yatarō Araki, who plays as centre-back in Tojo High School soccer club, dreams of becoming a professional player in Europe—a dream he is utterly obsessed with, dedicating everything he has to it. Despite his all-consuming passion, Araki suffers a crushing defeat in his final middle-school match against a prodigy, Asahi Sakakibara, which forces him to confront his own lack of natural talent.
Now, in the final match of his third and final year of high school, and having failed so far to attract the attention of scouts despite his dedication and game intelligence, Araki decides to do whatever it takes to get noticed—even if it means playing dirty and bending the rules.
