In the second half, Meiwa put their ferocious tiger out on the field,
They steadily drove Nankatsu into a corner,
and finally managed to catch up to them,
Nankatsu SC rallied, staving off Meiwa FC\'s fierce attack as their entire team comes together to defend,
And in doing so, finally, the player they\'ve most relied on, Misaki, has returned
after getting his leg injury treated,
Misaki,,,
I know what you\'re thinking, Tsubasa,
I will steal the ball and pass it to you for sure,
Tsubasa\'s counterattack starts now!
Misaki!
We\'re counting on you, Misaki!
Good luck, Misaki!
Coach, are you sure about this,,,?
He will be transferring away after this match, ,
They\'re making lasting memories, here,
He wants to play, Let him,
But,,,
Misaki thinks about the team the most,
If he can\'t play as he wants to because of his injury,
and realizes he\'s being a burden to his team,
he himself will ask to be taken off the pitch,
Let\'s do this!
No matter what, we\'ll meet up with Hyuga in front of the goal,
Misaki!
Taro,,,
Misaki, your injury was worse than mine,
Yet you are bearing with the pain, and are trying to pass the ball to me,
To match your fighting spirit,,,
I\'ll definitely end this with a goal!
EPISODE 25: COUNTERATTACK ON FIRE,
In order to prevent a cross reaching Hyuga at all costs,
Misaki is tenaciously marking Sawada!
Misaki,,,
Sawada is the heart of the midfield,
When he\'s being pushed down, Meiwa\'s attack just can\'t take form,
Misaki\'s injury is my fault,,,
But that was just inevitable!
I won\'t hold back against you!
Sawada feints!
And a one-two!
He got through Misaki!
Damn it!
I have to mark Kojiro now!
That\'s right,
My one and only goal right now is to send a pass to Hyuga,
For Meiwa\'s victory,
I trust you, Hyuga!
Crap!,
Nice pass, Takeshi!
Misaki returns and tenaciously cuts the pass!
What?!
But, the ball is deflected above Hyuga!
It\'s not over yet!
Let\'s clear it!
Damn!
Hyuga goes for a jumping header!
Wakabayashi is able to parry it with a punch!
Neither of these players is willing to give up!
This is it!
Tsubasa!
Misaki forcefully clears the loose ball with his injured right leg!
It\'s a perfect pass for Tsubasa!
Misaki,,,!
There\'s no one marking him!
And since he\'s in his side of the field, there\'s no offside!
Is that it? Is this what Tsubasa was after? ,
It is time for Nankatsu\'s counterattack!
Oh, crap!
Tsubasa,,,!
I\'m counting on you, Tsubasa,
As though he\'d been saving all of his energy for this sudden explosion,
Tsubasa vigorously dribbles towards his opponent\'s goal!
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)}
Conversely, Meiwa\'s been so fixated on attacking, that their defense is in complete disarray!
Damn it!
If only I\'d realized sooner, I could have given orders!
Even if it becomes a one-on-one battle,
no matter his approach, I\'ll stop him somehow!
All right! Go, do it! ,
Tsubasa, we trust you!
My leg,,,!
Both Wakabayashi and Misaki are playing while enduring this kind of pain,
I can do it, too!
This can\'t happen!
It\'ll be really bad if we give up a goal here!
I\'m counting on you, Takeshi!
This is the match point! ,
This encounter will decide the outcome of this match,
Tsubasa prepares to shoot!
I\'ll definitely stop him!
Sawada catches up with him!
He stops Tsubasa\'s shot with a sliding tackle,
Tsubasa takes a powerful shot from mid-distance!
Wakashimazu\'s arm barely deflects the ball!
Those are some crazy reflexes!
But there\'s still some strength left in Tsubasa\'s shot!
Will this be the tie-breaker goal?
Wakashimazu turns his body 180 degrees and uses a karate back kick to kick the ball away!
Even after this counterattack plan, it seems as if Nankatsu\'s ace Tsubasa is unable to score a goal!
Well done, Wakashimazu!
Tsubasa,,,
He was so close,,, ,
Tsubasa,,,
Not yet!
Tsubasa\'s still in front of the goal!
We\'ll pass the ball to Tsubasa once more!
Don\'t let Nankatsu get the ball!
It\'s another battle in the midfield!
Leave all the heading to me!
Izawa wins the heading battle!
All right!
We won\'t let you through! ,
Meiwa\'s sliding force attacks! ,
Eat this!
Get the ball!
Don\'t let them have it!
It\'s a huge midfield duel between both teams!
Will the ball find its way to Hyuga?
Or will it get to Tsubasa?
Hang in there, Nankatsu!
Get it to Tsubasa!
Persevere, Meiwa!
We\'re counting on you!
We\'re in the final stage of this match,
Only 5 minutes remain,
It\'s a high ball!
Who will be recovering it?
Hyuga!
Meiwa was a second faster!
Damn!
The ball directly goes to the front line,
Guys,,,!
The ball reaches Hyuga!
Only Misaki and Wakabayashi stand in his way!
Kojiro,,,
- Misaki! -
- Hey, see that? - MUNICIPAL MEIWA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL,
Look at how Misaki dribbles, He\'s the guy who transferred yesterday,
Wow, you have amazing technique,
I give up! I give up!
Teach me those cool moves too!
Okay!
There\'s no need to learn such silly tricks,
Hyuga!
What use is it to just dart around like that?
Eh?!
You run straight if you get the ball,
You just blow away anyone that gets in your way,
and advance directly towards the goal!
Got it?
Will Hyuga get past him using sheer force?
Or will Misaki stop him with his technique?
I won\'t let you pass, Kojiro!
Blow me away if you can!
Misaki!
Brother!
Hyuga evaded Misaki\'s charge by jumping to the side,
Eh?!
What?!
Hyuga, who always chooses to go straight through his opponent and to blow them away,
uses a feint for the first time!
Hyuga loses his balance!
It\'s a one-on-one duel!
I have to stop him here!
Hyuga regains his balance and gets in position to shoot,
Both players move almost at the same time!
You did it, bro!
Kojiro!
You did it! You finally did it!
Meiwa finally manages to turn the tables!
With just 4 minutes left this second half,
this goal is nothing short of decisive!
Damn you, Hyuga!
Hyuga!
This is the same pose Hyuga struck right before the tournament,
declaring his own victory!
I have won this game!
Just as the end of the match approaches,
Meiwa have finally taken the lead over Nankatsu with Hyuga\'s goal,
Okay, we can do it!
The pennant is as good as ours with this,
This goal was a huge blow,
And not just because it happened near the end of the game,
Just as Nankatsu is formed around Tsubasa, Misaki and Wakabayashi as the core,
with the rest of the team filling in the blanks,
Meiwa is formed around Hyuga, Sawada and Wakashimazu,
and the rest of the team support them,
In the last showdown, Meiwa stopped the opposing ace, Tsubasa,
with Sawada and Wakashimazu,
Moreover, in the mid-field battle, where there are no standout players we can consider as a core,
Meiwa was the winning side,
And then, in front of Nankatsu goal,
Hyuga broke the wall Wakabayashi and Misaki formed,
In other words, this goal is a signifier that Meiwa has outdone Nankatsu
in terms of their overall team strength,
What will you do now, Tsubasa?
We did it, no?
It was a nice shot, Hyuga, ,
What? ,
But let me remind you, the match isn\'t over yet,
Tsubasa,,,
He is right, I can still fight too,
It\'s not like we\'ve lost,
Yeah,
We\'ve overcome this hurdle countless times until now, and won, ,
We won\'t lose yet, Meiwa,
Guys,,,
Wakabayashi, spare gloves for you, ,
Thank you, Morisaki,
Wakabayashi, how is your leg doing?
Also, that clash,,,
Don\'t mention it,
It\'s nothing,
You guys fought hard until now too,
In these last 4 minutes, I\'m counting on you guys to cheer for our victory, ,
Sure,
It\'s just as Tsubasa said: this is the moment of truth,
The real battle,
You\'ve got some great friends, Tsubasa,
Listen to me guys, don\'t relax just yet,
Nankatsu truly is a tough opponent when cornered,
Yes!
Like I\'d hand it over to you,
I went as far as to throw away my pride away to get that goal,
That one goal is an important one, as it really shows Hyuga\'s growth this match,
Hyuga, who only forced his way through until now,
used some finesse for the first time,
That brute, force-oriented boy,
ditched his stubbornness for the sake of his team\'s victory,
Tsubasa, try and answer this goal,
Less than 4 minutes are left in the match,
Will Nankatsu be able to tie the game?
Let\'s go, Misaki!
Yeah!
Stick to them!
Don\'t ever leave Tsubasa and Misaki unmarked!
Okay!
Meiwa goes to mark those two, as expected!
Now that Tsubasa and Misaki are injured, we need to step up!
Here is Nankatsu\'s final struggle!
With their tenacious team play, they carry the ball to the Meiwa goal,
All right! Go Nankatsu!
Squeeze out the last of your strength!
Make sure you score, make it even!
Under the loud cheers, how will Nankatsu create an opening?
In any other situation, I would get past the opponent and just fire away,
But the keeper is Wakashimazu,
I can\'t shoot from out here,
Tsubasa sends the ball to the right,
Izawa takes the ball there,
Is he going to go for a surprise long shot?
Come at me if you will!
At this range, my shot wouldn\'t be effective,
Taki!
Should I shoot?
No, let\'s cross instead,,,
But, even if I send the ball high over the goal,
Wakashimazu might still come out to intercept it,
Damn!
He passes the ball back!
It\'s no good,
We\'re just spending what precious time we have left like this,
There are only 3 minutes left! Not much time remains!
Damn!
We are in front of the goal and have possession, but how is it that we can\'t even shoot,,,?! ,
We\'ll take that!
Meiwa\'s passionate defense is closing in!
What will Misaki do?
Certainly, Meiwa\'s defense\'s is passionate,,,
But if we can\'t shoot, we can\'t score,
The only one who can shoot the ball now is you, Tsubasa!
Shoot the ball! Only you can do it!
He is right, Tsubasa!
You are the only one we can count on at this point for this, Tsubasa!
Misaki, everyone,,,
Okay, let\'s go!
Tsubasa jumps!
This is,,,
I will catch that!
Here comes Tsubasa\'s favorite move!
Will this be an Overhead Kick of revival with a score?!
Go!
Tsubasa!
Wakashimazu!
I\'ll get it!
He caught it!
Nankatsu couldn\'t tie it up!
You did it Wakashimazu! ,
I\'m on it!
Like hell you are!
Wakashimazu clears the ball quickly!
And that ball goes towards,,,
We did it! The win is ours!
There\'s just one minute left in the match!
If Hyuga can manage to hold on to the ball,
the match is as good as won for them!
Okay!
What?!
Wakabayashi!
T-this is,,,! Nankatsu\'s goalkeeper Wakabayashi has stolen the ball with a risky overlap!
Wakabayashi!
Stubborn bastards,,,!
Wakabayashi dribbles all the way into Meiwa\'s side of the field!
There\'s less than a minute left!
It looks like Nankatsu had one more chance left after all!
Genzo,,,
Even the goalkeeper, Wakabayashi, is participating in the offense!
This will truly be their final attack, with all 11 players pushing forward!
I let Hyuga score twice against me,
At least, let me end this by making up for this mess I put us in!
Wakabayashi is positioned to shoot from long distance!
Let\'s go!
Meiwa\'s defense can\'t react in time!
Wakabayashi lets off a fateful long shot with every ounce of his strength!
Long shots don\'t work against me!
I\'ll catch it!
Misaki!
Okay!
Misaki makes a jump enduring his injured leg!
He changed the shot trajectory!
Crap!
He did it!
Misaki!
The ball is off target!
Yes!
It\'s a bad shot!
Was it no good,,,?!
Tsubasa takes a raging leap!
But it looks much too short!
It\'s much too far!
My Overhead Kick that everyone was counting on was soundly defeated,
But, for the sake of Wakabayashi and Misaki, who made this single opportunity possible,,,
I will use this chance to score, no matter the cost!
Tsubasa is using his left hand to spring off the ground!
He flips forward, managing to reach the ball!
Go!
It\'s kicked in!
Goal!
It\'s a tie!
Just before the match ends, Tsubasa\'s forward roll kick became a goal,
and Nankatsu have caught up, tying the score at 2-2!
Did it!
You did it, Tsubasa!
We caught up!
It\'s a tie,,,
We were just,,, just a step away from the win,
If I\'d noticed Misaki\'s jump sooner,,,
They did it, Boss!
Yeah,
We did it, it\'s a tie!
That was an otherworldly goal!
It was the 3 aces who scored that one,
They did really well despite their injuries,
If I\'d noticed that Wakabayashi was overlapping and stopped him from stealing the ball,
that shot wouldn\'t have happened,,,
And the whistle blows, signaling the end of the second half,
After fighting for 40 minutes in total over the first and second half,
we have yet to reach a conclusion for this battle,
There are no penalty shootouts for these finals,
After a 10-minute break, 2 halves of extra time will be played, 5 minutes each,
If a conclusion has yet to be reached then, then there will be
another 2 halves of extra time played, 5 minutes each,
In the event that both teams were to remain tied after extra time, both teams would be declared champions,
You dropped your guard at the end,
Yes, sir,,,
But what\'s done is done,
Don\'t sweat over it,
Extra time is our main focus now!
Our opponent\'s 3 aces are all injured,
We have the upper hand overall, ,
Listen to me!
It\'s up to your willpower!
If you don\'t lose in that regard, you will certainly grasp victory!
Yes!
Misaki, show me your injury,
It\'ll be hard for us without you, but you really shouldn\'t play in the extra time,
Taro, how will it be?
Dad!
Can you do it? Or can you not?
You must know it best,
It\'s all right, I can play,
Even you finish all the paintings you start, right, dad?
So if I go out on the pitch in a match, I\'ll make sure to play until the end,
Taro,,,
Let me take over,
Mr, Mikami! ,
We\'ll have to make do by taping it with bandages,
Genzo, I know how you feel,
Good luck in the extra time,
Yes!
When I was actively playing, my trainer would massage me like this, too,
Tsubasa, you did well to score with that last shot,
You always leave me in awe of your play!
Thanks!
Among the three of you, your injury is the least serious,
We have no choice but to make you work hard in extra time,
I know, Roberto,
Nankatsu will definitely win,
And then, we\'re off to Brazil! ,
Yeah, I feel you, ,
But your focus for now should be this match,
Think about how you can win this match,
Yes!
The temperature out here is about 35°C,
The players will have to fight hard in this sweltering heat,
Nankatsu vs, Meiwa\'s match is about to resume in extra time,
Tsubasa,,,
Kojiro,,,
Good luck, Bro!
This time, I\'ll put an end to this and settle my score with you!
We won\'t lose to you, Meiwa,
We will win!
The first half of the extra time will start with Meiwa\'s kick-off,
As usual, the ace of Meiwa, Hyuga, brings the ball forward,
All right, let\'s go! We\'ll take that ball!
Nankatsu presses as usual, moving to try and take the ball!
A pass for Sawada!
A one-two by Meiwa!
Since the start of this finals match, Hyuga, known for his selfish style of play,
has come to rely quite a bit on his teammates!
Kojiro,,,
Since you\'re injured, a shot from this distance ought to be enough to crush you!
What?!
Ah! Will Hyuga really shoot this soon?!
Eat this!
It\'s a lively shot from an extra-long distance!
Wakabayashi!
Will Wakabayashi be able to stop this ball despite his injured leg?
He got it! Wakabayashi firmly catches the ball!
What?!
You did it, Wakabayashi!
Hyuga, even if my leg breaks, I won\'t concede another goal to you!
,
