- Diaz! - Yo!
Hey! Somebody help!
Stop! Please help!
Pascal,
Okay, Diaz,
Here,
Nice shot,
CAPTAIN TSUBASA: JUNIOR YOUTH ARC,
EPISODE 14 NEVER GIVE UP,
FRANCE URUGUAY GERMANY,
From group A to C, Germany, Uruguay, and France are going to the finals,
That leaves us in group D,
Italy\'s lost twice and won\'t be going beyond the prelims,
For this match with Argentina,
Argentina could go on to the finals even with a draw because they made more goals,
but we need a win,
Let\'s win this, and let\'s make it to the finals,
- Let\'s do this, - Let\'s show \'em what we got,
Let\'s go, guys,
Let\'s win a place in the finals,
Yeah!
Tsubasa,
A fateful match is about to begin,
For Japan, their current points means a draw just won\'t do it,
JAPAN VS, ARGENTINA,
They need to win against formidable Argentina
if they want to make it to the finals,
The key is keeping in check the man
who has earned five points off Italy, that Argentine national treasure,
the player some call the best in a century, the Juan Diaz,
And the very man to handle the challenge is another player,
a midfielder as well, Japan\'s very own soccer genius, Tsubasa,
All hopes of containing the Juan Diaz rests on his shoulders,
Get ready for genius versus genius,
The action is about to begin,
I never thought Japan would beat Italy,
Amazing they got two points off Hernandez,
I guess the soccer in Asia has improved,
Now you know what Japan\'s all about,
But they won\'t win against Argentina,
They have the genius Juan Diaz,
It\'s really too bad that Japan won\'t make it to top four,
What? Japan is going to come out on top again today,
You don\'t know what you\'re talking about,
Hey, Azumi,
And it looks like Japan has won the coin toss and has possession,
Hey, Number 10 of Japan,
I know about those South-American tricks you learned from Roberto Hongo,
I\'m looking forward to our match today,
What?
Roberto Hongo? Wait,,,
Do you know Roberto?
He\'s a friend of our coach,
He was in the locker room today, too,
Today?
All right, the match is starting,
What\'s wrong, Tsubasa?
Roberto is,,,
What?
Roberto is at this stadium,
And the match begins,
Finalists Germany and Uruguay, together with France,
the future competitors of today\'s winners, are all intently watching from the stands,
Let\'s go,
Yeah!
Team Japan has to win this match,
and they\'re going after the first point aggressively,
Tsubasa,
The ball goes to playmaker Tsubasa Ozora,
Roberto is watching from the stands,
Tsubasa, watch out,
You know daydreaming in the middle of a match isn\'t such a great idea,
All right,
What?
Diaz read Tsubasa\'s play and takes the ball midair,
What judgement by the genius Juan Diaz,
All right, let\'s go, Pascal,
Yeah, we\'re not after a draw,
We\'re going into the finals with a perfect win!
And we\'ll win the tournament with a perfect record,
- Bring it! - Come on!
It\'s starting,
It tripped up Italy\'s defense,,,
That constantly changing combo play,
What?
A skilled one-two in a tight area,
Pascal,
Diaz,
Until we got scouted by our local club team,
we didn\'t even have money to buy a ball,
We kicked around just about anything,
But that\'s what helped develop our combination play,
No way anyone can stop it,
Two little guys! I\'ll stop \'em,
The colossal Jito goes to stop two players of smaller stature,
Diaz with a back pass,
He gets it from right under Jito,
What?
Nice, Pascal,
Here,
The ball goes back to Diaz,
I\'ll stop it,
Go for it, Matsuyama,
Matsuyama goes feet first,
Diaz, jumps,
What?
He uses his opponent\'s legs and jumps high again,
And sends a pass to the other forward, Brown,
You\'re not getting through,
What?
Last pass, There!
He sends it back to Diaz no trap,
You\'re not getting through,
What?
He got by,
He builds momentum with a back flip and does a backwards somersault!
He shoots from there!
It\'s in! Wakashimazu dives, but can\'t get it,
We did it,
One minute into the match, Argentina scores the first point,
And what a fine goal it is, An acrobatic shot by Diaz,
And an amazing combination play with Pascal,
They truly are the Golden Duo of Argentina,
Nice, Diaz,
Nice pass, Pascal,
Diaz continues to be in great form,
With this point, he ties Schneider, and Napoleon with six points
for the tournament and is in the top scorer position,
This is definitely a difficult start for Japan who desperately needs this win,
They got us,
It\'s an amazing goal, that\'s it,
Don\'t get down, guys,
The match\'s just started,
It starts here,
Guys, Okay, guys let\'s go again,
All right,
The match starts here,
And we\'re back,
Team Japan is ready and raring to catch up,
All right, one more point,
Yeah,
We can\'t lose,
Roberto is watching from the stands,
I have to get it back, It\'s now or never,
Tsubasa,
Will Japan go with their Golden Duo, Tsubasa and Misaki?
Argentina has Diaz and Pascal, and Japan has these two,
Tsubasa\'s still shaken up by the whole Roberto thing,
Then we should,,,
Here,
Misaki,
Misaki decides against a combination play with Tsubasa,
and instead passes to Hyuga on the other side,
All right, go, Hyuga,
It\'s up to you,
Not getting through,
Hyuga gets around him with a side step,
Thanks for the ball,
And here\'s Diaz,
Pascal throws him off balance and Diaz takes the ball,
It\'s a stock Argentine play,
- Not so fast, - Whoa,
Hyuga throws power at it,
He isn\'t giving up the ball,
But the key defensive player, Galvan, quickly kicks the loose ball,
What?
Argentina with a solid three tier defense,
They bring the ball to Diaz once again,
All right,
Tsubasa goes after it, Will it be a one-on-one with the two stars?
Tsubasa!
You\'re a midfielder too, aren\'t you?
Take a look around before you go charging in,
Our showdown\'ll have to wait,
What?
Diaz avoids a face-off with Tsubasa and passes,
Diaz is fast! What\'s his 50m time? Five seconds?
Here,
He gets around with a feint,
All right,
Still at top speed, he jumps! He jumps at the ball,
He forward rolls to the ball,
He uses the momentum from the roll and shoots,
Wakashimazu!
Wakashimazu reacts this time, It\'s directly in front of him,
What?
The ball curves,
It\'s in!
He shoots from a forward roll position and he put a curve spin on the ball,
CAPTAIN TSUBASA: JUNIOR YOUTH ARC,
BIRTH DATE JANUARY 25 / HEIGHT 164 CM WEIGHT 51 KG / BLOOD TYPE O,
And Argentina\'s own golden boy Juan Diaz
has scored his second point this match,
Seven points overall,
He\'s now our top scorer,
Amazing, that\'s Diaz,
They\'ve basically won the match,
Oh no, two points behind already,
Our next opponent is Argentina,
A painful point for Japan,
Unable to eke out an attack,
and their opponent scored once the ball was turned over,
Definitely a worst-case scenario,
Their rhythm is off,
The opponents are setting the pace,
They\'re going to have to figure a way out on their own,
If they keep going, they\'ll get more points than the Italy match,
Once they get going, those teams from Latin America are scary good,
We need to be careful for our Uruguay match tomorrow,
Pull it together!
How are you guys suppose to be representing Japan?
Wakabayashi,
I get too preoccupied with Roberto, and this is what happens,
I,,, I need to do something,
Tsubasa, don\'t rush,
I\'ll try and cut in by dribbling,
I don\'t know how far I\'ll get against their skilled plays, but back me up,
Misaki,,,
I can\'t let Argentina run the show anymore,
And here we go again,
Trying to get it back, Team Japan
takes advantage of Misaki\'s excellent dribbling skills to break through,
How far will Misaki\'s French soccer get against Argentina?
All right, Go, Misaki,
Go for it,
Japan may be in a rut but their fans are still cheering hard from the stands,
And it\'s quickly intercepted! It\'s Diaz again,
Misaki,
Come at me, Number 10,
He gets by Tsubasa, too,
And how humiliating for Tsubasa, the ball goes right between his legs,
Is that all you got?
The final shot,,,
Go!
And it\'s a long shot,
It\'s a Drive Shot!
It\'s in! The third point!
Diaz takes Tsubasa\'s signature shot and scores,
The Argentine genius,
Juan Diaz, ten minutes into the first half already makes a hat trick,
He did it!
Nice shot!
I\'m at a loss for words here,
What a phenom Juan Diaz is!
As long as he\'s here, I think it\'s safe to say
that Argentina is the favorite to win the tournament,
I\'m the one who\'ll lead Argentina to world number one,
The first page of the legend of Juan Diaz begins now,
at the International Junior Youth Tournament in France,
Now Japan\'s chances of advancing to the finals appear to be nil,
I guess this is about as good as I can expect from a team from Asia,
Doesn\'t matter if you were coached by someone from the soccer nation of Brazil,
it\'s the raw material that counts,
Our soccer abilities are just on different levels, that\'s all,
Why am I panicking?
That\'s right, I\'m not playing soccer for Roberto,
I\'m playing for me,,,
And I\'m playing for us,
Tsubasa,
Three-point difference,
That\'s about right for a handicap, right, guys?
What?
Three-point difference, We have to go after them,
We have no choice,
That\'s right,
Nothing we can do about the points they already have,
We\'re going to go get that back now,
Hyuga,
Matsuyama,
That\'s right, We haven\'t given up yet,
We pledged to each other last night,
I haven\'t forgotten that,
We\'ve come this far, and it\'s too late to turn back,
Hyuga,
We\'ve already started running,
That\'s right and our goal is the world,
We can\'t turn back,
With Tsubasa at the center, we were competing against each other,
But now we\'ve come together as a team,
No matter how hard it gets, this team can rise above it,
We can beat the world!
So that Japan can be number one in the world,
Let\'s win this tournament, guys,
All right!
We might be exhausted but we won\'t give up,
We\'ll keep fighting to be number one in the world,
And it\'s that time again,
Japan is already three points behind, will they find a way back?
- Come on, guys, - Go for it, everyone,
These three points are on me,
I have to get them back, I will get them back!
Tsubasa, the three points are no one player\'s responsibility,
If you want to place blame, then it\'s the team\'s,
Don\'t get so worked up,
Misaki,
Okay, let\'s go,
We\'re counting on you, Tsubasa,
Argentina is on a roll,
To stop them, we have to stop Diaz,
I\'ll get by him,
I see you insist on going, Tsubasa,
Then I\'ll back you up,
Let\'s go, Diaz,
What\'s that about, a three-point handicap?
It\'s just talk, or the score has made him lose his mind,
I won\'t lose to you,
Tsubasa goes solo to get by, but Diaz follows,
- Tsubasa! - Diaz!
In the midfield,
it\'s a showdown between the two star players,
Whoever controls the midfield controls the match,
But if Tsubasa loses here, then there really is no winning for Japan,
This is it,
It\'s the same move as when Tsubasa was passed,
A light kick and then past the legs,
Gotcha, I thought you would come this way,
And I deliberately took you up on it,
But Diaz has read it, He takes the ball,
Oh, but Tsubasa has read it too,
He didn\'t kick it and barrels ahead,
Why, you!
Diaz doesn\'t give up and puts his foot out,
Tsubasa goes down and the ball is loose,
Misaki picks it up,
What?
Nice back up, Misaki,
Misaki,
That\'s right, All the guys are behind me,
It\'s not Tsubasa alone, but for the first time in this match,
they\'ve gotten by genius Diaz,
Diaz,
Crap,
Don\'t worry, Diaz, It\'s a fluke,
I\'ll stop it,
Now, Pascal heads over,
Tsubasa,
All right, Misaki,
The Golden Duo of Japan is on the move,
They get by in a second,
What?
- Nice, Tsubasa, - Misaki!
Okay, this is good! Keep going,
Japan\'s starting to find their groove,
Hyuga and Nitta, the Japanese two upfronts, and Ishizaki, overlap,
I\'m over here,
He thinks he\'s got us all figured out,
He might be partially true,
But our style may not be,,,
May not be South American, or European, but our soccer comes from Asia,
I mean, Japan,
Tsubasa,
Watch and learn,
This is J BOYS soccer!
Drive Shot is coming, We\'re going with the plan,
All right,
His Drive Shot goes either upper right or upper left,
We just have to predict the direction
and stop it without getting overwhelmed by its power,
What is that defense formation?
All right,
Go!
Without hesitation, he lets loose the Drive Shot,
But it isn\'t going toward the goal! Is this some kind of mistake?
What?
No, it\'s a Drive Pass to Hyuga,
It\'s up to you, Hyuga,
Tsubasa showed he believed in me
by switching from a Drive Shot to a Drive Pass,
I have to return the favor by getting this in,
The Drive Pass is coming from straight overhead directly down,
I have to be in sync with the sound,
Right here,
Hyuga shoots without trapping!
- What? - Hyuga!
It\'s nearly impossible to meet it at this speed,
If this goes in,
Tsubasa and Hyuga, the two pillars of middle school soccer in Japan,
will truly be the Super Golden Duo!
Scoring this goal is the only way
to open the door to becoming a true ace striker for Team Japan,
Go!
Tiger Shot!
It\'s in! The first sign of a Japanese counterattack,
A counterblow through sheer will power!
All right!
Yes! It\'s a point!
Tsubasa! Hyuga!
All right, we got a point back,
Tsubasa Ozora, Kojiro Hyuga,
The first combination for the Super Golden Duo,
the stuff dreams are made of, a Drive Pass plus Tiger Shot,
A Drive Tiger Shot!
Nice shot, Hyuga,
Nice pass, Tsubasa,
