Tsubasa and his friends have made their way to the National Tournament,
but Wakabayashi\'s condition has taken a turn for the worse,
He is unable to participate in the National Tournament!
With his injury worsening as it has,
he must remain behind, unable to play for the time being,
Tsubasa has decided to carry on in his stead,
promising that he\'ll keep winning until the finals,
Now, with Tsubasa being selected as the new captain,
Nankatsu FC has been reborn as a brand new team,
And finally,,,
I pledge! We participants, will act with sportsmanship
and will compete while adhering to the tenets of fair play!
I am the captain of Nankatsu FC, Tsubasa Ozora!
The National Youth Football Tournament finally kicks off!
As luck would have it, Nankatsu\'s first match will be Meiwa FC,
another contender for the champion\'s title,
All right! This is the crucial first match,
Everyone, put everything you\'ve got into it!
Yes!
Nice shot! Next!
Tsubasa!
Wakabayashi,,,
I\'ll make sure my leg is fully healed for the next match against Meiwa,
So, Tsubasa,,, I\'m counting on you!
Our first match will be against Meiwa,
I\'ll score with my own two legs, and win this match in your stead!
Tsubasa\'s on fire! ,
That\'s right! I\'m really fired up!
All right, let\'s do our best!
Yeah!
Meiwa FC\'s players, it\'s almost time, Can you please go,,,
Coach, looks like it\'s time,
Go ahead, My being there is unimportant,
MEIWA FC COACH: KOZO KIRA,
That doesn\'t sound like something a coach should say,
You\'re right,
But he\'s the one who raised Hyuga and Takeshi
and helped us get this far in a short amount of time,
Kojiro, you\'re going out there to win, ,
No one would complain if you just win, right?
Yes,
Now this,,, this is a traffic jam,
I\'ve been watching this tournament for years, but this is the first time I see something like this,
Goes to show you how much attention this match is attracting,
I\'m looking forward to this,
I wonder what possibilities these boys will show us,,,
EPISODE 14: FIRE UP, NANKATSU! DEFEAT MEIWA!!
The first matches of the group stages will be simultaneously held in this venue,
Right before the match that would raise the curtain on the tournament was about to begin,
something unexpected was awaiting the boys,
Almost all of the spectators had gathered where the Nankatsu vs, Meiwa match was to take place!
There really are a lot of spectators here,,,
Yeah, this atmosphere almost puts Brazil to shame,
There are a lot of fans who know their stuff, ,
This is a can\'t-miss match! ,
People are saying this is the real final match,
Man, just look at that,,, ,
Misaki! Do your best!
We\'ll be cheering you on!
Thanks, Matsuyama!
You do your best too, Furano Elementary!
Tsubasa, do your best!
So, this match will really determine
who my greatest opponent will be,
Oh, Meiwa FC is finally on the field!
It\'s been a while, Nankatsu,
Kojiro Hyuga,,,
Hey, you\'re the kid who made the pledge yesterday, ,
Then let me make my pledge here and now!
We\'ll win the National Tournament!
So, the team to win this match will be ours, Meiwa FC!
This bastard,,,
Players from both teams get into their respective positions,
Shizuoka\'s representative, Nankatsu FC, is known for their magnificent passing,
They\'re lined up in a 4-3-3,
Their famous goalkeeper, Wakabayashi, is unfortunately unable to play due to injury,
However, the second-string Morisaki is quite competent, himself,
With the giant center-back player Takasugi\'s presence,
their defenders will heavily protect the front area of the goal,
In the center field, Izawa, Misaki and Urabe form a triangle,
Finally, Taki, Kisugi and Tsubasa are in charge of Nankatsu\'s attack,
Guys, let\'s give it all we\'ve got!
Yeah!
Against them is Saitama\'s representative, Meiwa FC, They\'re set up in a 4-4-2,
With the ferocious tiger, Kojiro Hyuga as their lead,
they are a team that hold their opponents down through their hard work,
The one in the attacking midfielder position is the only 4th grader in the team, Takeshi Sawada,
What kind of play will he show us?
The final line is entrusted to these four,
with the goalkeeper Kawaguchi charged with protecting the goal,
Oh, this is a great view!
I like this scenery,,,
Well, go ahead, Kojiro, The ones who\'ll rule over the big stage is none other than us, Meiwa FC,
The first match of the tournament, Nankatsu FC vs, Meiwa FC, kicks-off among the wild cheering,
Like I\'d lose to the likes of Meiwa!
Come at me!
Tsubasa Ozora, Nankatsu\'s ace, fiercely dribbles ahead as the whistle is blown!
Kojiro Hyuga, Meiwa\'s ace, comes forward to meet him!
Both aces clash right at the beginning!
Their duel results in a draw!
The ball flies high up in the sky!
This bastard,,,
Here!
All right!
Damn it!
My leg!
My leg is numb from that clash,,,!
The pillar of the team, Hyuga can\'t chase them!
Is this Nankatsu\'s first chance for a goal?
I\'m counting on you!
All right, I\'ve got this!
Denied! Meiwa manages to cut through this attack!
The one who pulls it off is the 4th grader everyone\'s talking about, Takeshi Sawada!
He shows off his sharp senses right off the bat,
Damn it!
Takeshi,,,
This guy!
What?
Oh no!
It\'s a one-two!
You wouldn\'t expect Sawada to be a 4th grader with this kind of ball control,
The tables have turned! Is it now Meiwa\'s first chance at a goal?
Looks like my leg\'s better, now!
All right, let\'s do this, Takeshi!
Sawada meets up with Hyuga in front of the goal,
Takeshi,,, ,
You\'ve really improved, ,
Misaki! Thanks! ,
Coach Kira trained me a lot as well, ,
Is he talking about that guy who taught Kojiro?
Misaki, I\'m going to have to ask you to let me through!
Misaki lets the ball through his legs,,,!
I did it!
No, he won\'t let him through!
Nice, Misaki!
His opponents can\'t do anything against Misaki\'s technical play!
Just as I expected from Misaki,,,
That damn Misaki,,, If I\'d gotten that ball, I was sure to score,,,!
Excuse me! Can you tell me the current score of Nankatsu\'s match?
Misaki\'s speed is amazing!
His swiftness down the pitch lives up to its reputation!
Damn it!
Stop him quickly!
Misaki changes the pace with a long pass!
It reaches Tsubasa as he broke off into a run to the area!
As expected of Misaki!
He didn\'t let Meiwa\'s defense get in his way!
All right!
What?! Tsubasa changes direction, making a dash for facing Hyuga head on!
Why? That was his chance for a fast break!
Is this runt seriously planning to get past me, no matter what?!
Don\'t give me that crap!
I\'ll steal the ball!
What the—? The ball has disappeared!
T-this is,,,
It\'s a heel lift! ,
What was that from Tsubasa? He flicked the ball with his heel, lifting it over Hyuga!
And as the ball floats down to his feet,,,
He fires off a volley!
You did it, Tsubasa!
He scored!
In the third minute of the first half, Nankatsu takes the lead with Tsubasa\'s shot!
The one who\'ll win isn\'t Meiwa, it\'s Nankatsu!
That was quite the surprise!
Even though he\'s the center-forward of Nankatsu, a favorite for the champion\'s title,
Tsubasa Ozora, a no-name player at the national level, has managed to open the score
against the powerhouse Meiwa FC right at the start of the game!
What do you mean "no-name"? Tsubasa scored a hat-trick in every match in the prefectural tournament!
That\'s a really high-level technique,
Is this really an elementary school student\'s play?
One, two,,,
Way to go, Nankatsu!
All right, if this is how it\'s going to be, I\'ll cheer for Nankatsu too!
Hyuga was challenged and defeated by Tsubasa,
Given his aggressive disposition,
he must be burning with rage inside!
Kojiro, when you came to scout us out, you forgot about one piece of information,
We don\'t only have Wakabayashi, We also have Tsubasa,
I\'m sorry, Hyuga, This happened because I let Misaki steal the ball from me,
Hyuga,,,
That\'s it, I like those eyes,
As long as that look doesn\'t leave your eyes, you won\'t ever lose, Kojiro,
The match resumes with Meiwa\'s kick-off,
Nankatsu steals the ball immediately!
Way to go, Nankatsu!
After Tsubasa\'s first goal, they are in top condition!
Go, let\'s get another one!
Crap!
Hyuga! ,
What\'s wrong with Hyuga?
He\'s been waiting next to the goal since then,
Eat this!
The keeper barely grazes it!
Is this their second one?
No, it hits the post!
Damn!
Hyuga\'s still not moving!
Sawada recovers the ball and clears it!
All right!
The clear is intercepted by Tsubasa!
Go, Tsubasa!
We\'re counting on you for another one!
Tsubasa!
Meiwa is being kept on defense!
Hyuga is eerily silent!
What is going on?!
Hyuga, he comes! Tsubasa Ozora!
Don\'t get full of yourself!
Hyuga was being motionless, but has sprung to life as soon
as the ball went to Tsubasa, fiercely dashing forward!
This is a completely different situation from the first goal!
Now it\'s Hyuga who is challenging Tsubasa, one-on-one!
I won\'t lose!
Eat this!
Wow, this is Hyuga\'s sliding— no, it\'s a diving tackle!
Tsubasa can\'t get around in time!
Hyuga is faster!
Tsubasa!
Tsubasa is sent flying!
Since he\'s won the ball, there\'s no whistle; Play will continue!
What a tenacious, hard play from Hyuga!
So, Nankatsu will be the champion, you say?
Damn!
How dare you do that to Tsubasa! I\'ll stop you here!
Don\'t make me laugh! ,
Hyuga gets ready to shoot!
He\'s shooting from way back there?!
Let\'s block him together!
We, Meiwa will be the champions!
What, the ball is
it\'s gone!
,
He scored!
An incredible shot that sends the keeper flying!
You did it, Hyuga!
Awesome,,, what a powerful shot, ,
That\'s Hyuga\'s true strength,,,!
10 minutes into the first half, Meiwa has caught up!
The frightening ferocious tiger, Kojiro Hyuga!
That boy,,, he deliberately aimed for the keeper\'s face,
But,,, why? ,
Yes, that\'s it Kojiro, ,
Are you all right, Morisaki?
Sc— Scary,,,
Kojiro Hyuga,,,
The match between Nankatsu and Meiwa is now at an even score, 1-1!
It\'s a one-on-one battle between Kojiro and Tsubasa,
Finesse versus power,
Huh?
I mean, if we say Tsubasa is a striker with finesse,
then Hyuga is the one with the power,
I see,
That\'s not all though,
Tsubasa loves football from the bottom of his heart and
it feels like the ball is an extension of him,
Compared to that, Hyuga plays football with ferocity,
It feels as if he channels all his fighting spirit to the ball, ,
Exactly,
The teachers behind their football also stand in stark contrast to each other,
I know,,, former Brazil representative, Roberto Hongo,
and Meiwa\'s coach, Kozo Kira,
A mysterious talent who left the football world without paying any attention to
scouts from overseas, back when there wasn\'t a professional league in Japan,
The more you compare the two, the more interesting it gets,
But,,, one ace striker is enough,
If we continue to watch, we will have our answer as to which one we should need in the end,
Nankatsu has conceded a goal, and the score is even,
It\'s time for the counterattack ,
Don\'t lose Misaki!
Do your best!
All right!
The young Sawada is approaching to get the ball,
Misaki dodges him, showing off his excellent ball handling!
He is on the next level when it comes to this,
Hey!
Misaki makes a brilliant heel pass!
Take it!
And Kisugi connects the ball with one touch!
All right, the ball makes it through to Tsubasa!
Tsubasa advances with the ball!
Okay, all of you defenders, mark Tsubasa with all you\'ve got!
Now is the time to show the results of your special training! ,
Yeah!
All of Meiwa\'s defenders charge at Tsubasa after Hyuga\'s command!
Take this!
Now that\'s a rain of sliding tackles!
Tsubasa dodges them with his utmost efforts!
Woah, what did he just—!
He didn\'t just slide,
but pivoted with his hand to go for another!
Tsubasa is in a dangerous situation!
Dodged by a hair\'s breadth!
From Tsubasa\'s behind, one of Meiwa\'s players slams into his leg!
Oh, Tsubasa!
Tsubasa is on the ground!
Of course this was a foul play,
Yellow card!
That\'s right, If I\'m against an opponent that I can\'t stop no matter what I do,
I just have to stop him even if I have to go against the rules! ,
Yes!
Damn it!
I\'ll show you the difference between our skills from now on,
Nankatsu gets a free kick after the foul,
He\'s underestimating us,
I\'ll take Tsubasa\'s revenge!
Hyuga blocks it easily!
Oh, Tsubasa runs at Hyuga!
What a stubborn guy,,,
With every goal we score, we seem to be on equal terms in the challenge,
However, you\'re dead wrong,
And I\'ll prove it to you, right now!
Take this!
What! Hyuga passed the ball!
All right! Shoot, Takeshi!
Okay!
Sawada fires a reckless long shot!
What is this? Anyone can stop a shot like this one, ,
What?
What happened just now?
Goalkeeper Morisaki couldn\'t even move a finger!
I\'m,,, I\'m scared of the ball,,,
Did Kojiro hit Morisaki on the chin to make him scared of the ball?!
Do you want to win so bad, Kojiro Hyuga?! ,
Will Morisaki be unable to continue?
If that happens, Nankatsu, who only have one goalkeeper available, will be in serious trouble!
As expected of Hyuga,
Yeah, I\'m really glad that I\'m not playing against him,
2-1! Meiwa has finally turned the tables in their favor,
The match resumes with Nankatsu\'s kick-off again,
A hard clash!
This is Meiwa FC\'s ferocious tiger!
All right! Keep shooting whenever you get the chance!
We can get as many goals as we want against that goalkeeper!
Yeah!
Damn it!
Since their goalkeeper is acting bizarrely, Nankatsu needs to stifle those passes as soon as possible!
Take that!
Get it, Morisaki!
You can get it!
Will this be the third goal for Meiwa?
No, it won\'t go in!
The center forward Tsubasa came back to block!
Nice cover, Tsubasa!
Did you see that, Meiwa?!
Tsubasa played center-back in the inter-school tournament, you know?!
Morisaki,,,
The ball is your friend! Don\'t be afraid! ,
What? ,
Damn that little runt!
Oh, crap!
What\'s with this, "the ball is your friend" garbage?!
If that\'s the case, then take this ball, too!
Tsubasa, watch out!
Tsubasa! ,
He gets hit right in the face!
If the ball is your friend, get in the goal together with your precious friend,
What? ,
Tsubasa blocks the ball from entering the goal with all his body,
Tsubasa?
See, it\'s fine, ,
Tsubasa,,, ,
I get it,,, I get it now, Tsubasa! ,
I won\'t be afraid anymore,
I\'ll give it a try,,
Yes,
All right, that\'s the spirit, Morisaki!
Thanks to Tsubasa\'s amazing play, Nankatsu has overcome many critical situations, time and time again,
However, Meiwa keeps on attacking!
Take this! Once more!
Morisaki!
All right!
Morisaki, nice catch!
Yeah!
The football is my precious friend, ,
Like I\'d ever let it go!
Isn\'t that right, Tsubasa? ,
Yup!
Damn that runt!
He got that goalkeeper back on his feet again!
Hyuga shot that ball while aiming for the goalkeeper\'s face,
Then Tsubasa got hit on the face on purpose and stopped him,
Does that mean,,,
Yes, it does, In order to get their goalkeeper back in the game, he did it on purpose,
Tsubasa, I\'m really glad that you\'re on our side and our captain,
It\'s time to counter, Tsubasa!
I\'m entrusting my friend to you!
All right! This time, it\'s our turn to attack!
COMING UP, EPISODE 15: I WON\'T LOSE, BECAUSE IT\'S MY DREAM!
The smell of the grass when I stumbled,
the endless blue of the sky above,,,
This winding, back-and-forth path
is a map for our endless dreams,
