The tournament finals have finally begun,
Nankatsu SC played against Naniwa FC, the representatives of Osaka,
Nakanishi\'s overwhelming defensive power was on full display,
but Nankatsu SC continued to boldly attack the goal,
Tsubasa fired away, and after finally scoring for the first time,
he used that momentum to pile on the score against Naniwa,
I\'m gonna take that golden right leg of yours!
Meanwhile, it\'s been revealed that Musashi FC\'s Misugi
is suffering from a heart disease,
As every team\'s expectations become entangled,
Meiwa FC, under Kojiro\'s lead, have called their secret weapon into action,
The National Youth Football Tournament is about come to its end,
Only four teams remain in the finals tournament,
with only the semi-finals and finals remaining,
SIGN: FURANO ELEMENTARY - GOOD LUCK
In today\'s semi-finals, the first match will be between,
Furano Elementary, from North Hokkaido, and Meiwa FC, from Saitama,
In the second match, Shizuoka\'s Nankatsu SC will face Tokyo\'s Musashi FC,
Meiwa and Furano,,, Whoever wins, it will be hard for us, ,
You\'re right,
Only two games remain until I become the champion,
I\'ll definitely win!
EPISODE 19: FIERCE FIGHT! MEIWA VS, FURANO,
Both teams have taken their positions,
Which of them will advance to the finals?
Will it be Meiwa, led by Hyuga? Or will it be Furano, who value team play with Matsuyama as their pillar?
Kojiro Hyuga,,, I\'m going to get even with you for what you did at the cafeteria,
To hell with your so-called "team play"!
I\'ll smash that weak ideology into pieces!
The first match of the semi-finals begins with Meiwa\'s kick-off!
And here we go!
Sawada, working hard at being the team\'s pillar despite being a 4th grader,
drives into their opponent\'s field with the ball,
All right! Let\'s do this again!
Don\'t underestimate him just because he\'s a 4th grader,
Pay special attention to him!
Understood!
Hyuga!
Nice pass!
Meiwa swiftly gets the ball to Kojiro Hyuga,
Good, Let\'s get that first goal,
Hyuga pushes forward!
Leave him to me!
Furano\'s captain Hikaru Matsuyama is covering Hyuga,
I\'ll be thoroughly marking you today,
I hope you\'re ready for this, Hyuga!
Stop me if you can!
Already, a pivotal moment emerges!
A one-to-one fight between the two aces!
As expected of Matsuyama!
He won\'t let Hyuga do as he pleases,
Hyuga continues to hang on to and control the ball,
They are matched up well against each other,
Damn it!
This guy,,, is good,
We can\'t let this continue! We should support our captain!
Yeah!
Their patience running thin, Furano comes to Matsuyama\'s rescue!
Captain!
Guys!
Takeshi!
Yes!
Hyuga sends the ball to Sawada for the time being,
Matsuyama quickly cuts the pass!
What?
It\'s mine!
Damn it!
Kaneda!
Furano mounts a quick counterattack,
You dare underestimate,,, ,
Don\'t expect me to take this lying down!
Watch out, Kaneda!
It\'s Hyuga\'s specialty, a fierce sliding tackle!
I\'ll keep going like this!
Hyuga!
That\'s Hyuga for you!
His tenacity is amazing!
He went to steal the ball he\'d just lost all by himself,
and is now making his way to Furano\'s goal!
Everyone, fall back! Get back here!
Winning is the only thing on my mind right now,
Hyuga has reached the box in a matter of moments!
I will win! No matter the means, I will win!
I must,,,
Hyuga gets ready to shoot immediately!
I must win!
It\'s in!
Meiwa opens the score!
You did it, Hyuga!
He\'s on fire today as well!
It\'s the ferocious tiger of Meiwa, Hyuga!
This is his 25th goal in the tournament,
He\'s now tied Nankatsu\'s Tsubasa Ozora in the scoring contest,
They just scored on us,,,
It\'s okay, guys!
The game has just begun, and Meiwa is nothing without Hyuga,
Let\'s teach them that football is about team play!
All right!
Furano continues to challenge Meiwa, but—,
As if I\'d let you through!
Hyuga\'s sliding tackles are in full force!
Nakagawa! ,
With Kojiro Hyuga blocking their path,
they have yet to put together any meaningful offense,
As expected, Meiwa is better, ,
You can\'t tell yet,
It snows a lot where Furano Elementary is,
Everyone practices hard daily in that deep snow,
Come on, let me hear you!
Don\'t get discouraged by this much snow,
That\'s caused them to develop a certain level of persistence and grit,
Captain!
It\'s a chance for Furano!
The pass reaches Matsuyama, who is right in front of the goal,
He\'s unmarked!
All right, I\'ll catch up with them!
Matsuyama gets ready to shoot!
I won\'t let you!
Hyuga is back to stop him!
There you are, Hyuga,
What?!
He clearly catches his foot instead of the ball!
This is a huge foul!
Furano has won a penalty kick!
Hyuga,,,
I have defeated your sliding tackle,
You bastard! Did you use your foot on purpose?
Hyuga receives a yellow card,
A second yellow card would result in expulsion,
With this, Hyuga can\'t just do as he likes, anymore,
Even though he won that penalty kick,,, will his foot be okay?
There\'s no way I\'d lose to a mere thing such as this,
You\'re going to learn today, Hyuga,
Football can\'t be played alone,
We, Furano, will definitely beat your one-man team, Meiwa,
Furano has a chance to equalize the score,
Matsuyama slowly puts the ball down, and measures the distance,
All right!
Goal!
Without giving the goalkeeper a chance to move,
Furano catches up to Meiwa,
- You did it! - All right!
So you surrendered a goal, eh? ,
We\'ll take the lead back immediately,
However, after the penalty kick, Kojiro was completely sealed off by Furano\'s pass work,
The first half ends here,
As the first half comes to a close, the score remains 1-1,
Furano has fought this tooth and nail,
They haven\'t given any ground to Meiwa,
the favourite for the champion\'s title,
No matter how you look at it, it\'s all thanks to Captain Matsuyama\'s efforts,
After letting Hyuga score a goal right at the start of the game,
they\'ve managed to completely shut him down,
Is your leg okay? ,
It\'s nothing to write home about,
More importantly, let\'s keep this up in the second half, too,
We can win, guys!
Yes!
Hyuga looks off, today,
Damn it!
Hyuga,,,
Kojiro, it can\'t be helped,
You carried Meiwa all alone while working part-time jobs to help your family at the same time,
Any average grade-schooler would be at their wits\' end,
Takeshi,,,
Yes,
Listen to me, Just like in the match against Nankatsu,
you\'ll be the key in this match, too,
You are the only one who can help Hyuga now,
Y-yes,
Hyuga,,,
I met Hyuga last spring,
I was still in 3rd grade then,
(One, two,,,
Finally, Meiwa FC\'s entrance exam is tomorrow,
I\'ll be sure to pass!
My ball ,,,?
Hey you! If you\'re playing football half-heartedly, you\'d better stop now,
What,,,?
When you stand on the pitch, everyone around you becomes your enemy,
and those enemies will come at you from every direction,
If you want to enroll at Meiwa FC, you\'d better prepare yourself for that,
I didn\'t know who he was back then,,,
Please! Let me take the entrance exam!
Again, the rules say that only 4th graders and above can take the test,
I\'m begging you!
Just let me try!
Just get out of here already!
Let him try,
Hyuga!
You\'re the guy from before!
Age is irrelevant in football,
Football is all about displaying your own skills,
What did you say?
After all, I\'m in 5th grade, and no one in the 6th grade can beat me, can they?
What?!
Here!
Thanks to Hyuga, I was able to take the entrance exam,
That little guy is pretty good, don\'t you think?
And he\'s only a 3rd grader,
Is that so?
Coach Kira\'s personal training began after that,
Not yet, Takeshi!
Yes!
When I learned that Hyuga was working to help his family while playing football,
I really came to respect Hyuga more and more,
Then I made a vow,
I swore I\'d get that championship pennant alongside Hyuga,
The second half begins!
You have yet to see my true strength!
I\'ll show it to you until you can\'t take it anymore! ,
Take this!
Hyuga steals the ball,
He launches forward and dribbles into enemy territory,
I\'ll take you on!
Matsuyama once again goes to stop Hyuga,
It\'s another one-on-one fight between the two aces,
Matsuyama gets away with the ball!
Damn it!
What?!
The ball is quickly recovered by Meiwa\'s Sawada!
Takeshi!
Hyuga!
I won\'t let you get away!
Furano\'s defense is undermanned!
Sawada crosses!
It\'s a high ball!
Can Matsuyama intercept it?
It\'s no use! The ball flies in over his head!
Nice pass, Takeshi! ,
It\'s in!
That\'s the second goal by Hyuga, today!
With this goal, Hyuga is now the highest scorer of the tournament!
Nankatsu\'s Tsubasa and Misaki\'s perfect combination play have become the talk of the tournament,
but Meiwa\'s Hyuga and Sawada\'s combination play can hold its ground, too,
When these two team up, Meiwa gets stronger!
That\'s right, I\'ll help Hyuga throughout this tournament, and we\'ll be the champions in the end!
The first match of the National Youth Football Tournament semi-finals,
Meiwa vs, Furano, is close to its conclusion!
There are 5 minutes left and Meiwa is hanging on to a 2-1 lead,
Furano has managed to occasionally to threaten the goal,
but Meiwa have been enduring it so far,
Meiwa and Furano have played dozens of games until now,
Exhaustion must be catching up with them,
But still, they are doing their best!
Both sides continue to endure despite it all!
Do your best, Furano!
Just one more push! ,
Like I\'d fall to a bunch of losers like you ,
Hyuga\'s definitely off today,
Matsuyama is also running around with a hurt leg, due to Hyuga\'s tackle,
We still can\'t be sure who will come out on top!
Like I\'d let such a small injury stop me!
Captain! ,
A direct pass to Matsuyama!
Destroy him! Don\'t let him past!
A quick one-two pass!
Will Furano be able to continue like this?
I won\'t let that happen! ,
Matsuyama got tackled!
- Crap! - ,
That\'s a foul play for Meiwa,
Ishii receives a yellow-card,
Furano will prepare for a free kick, here,
Captain!
Damn it!
As if I\'d lose because of such a thing!
Captain,,,
When it comes to training ourselves, there\'s no one we\'d lose to!
When you compare this with our time training in the cold snow,
you can hardly think of this as a hardship!
Guys, I am sure it\'s tough for you all,
But all we need is one more push!
Let\'s show them the result of our training! ,
Yeah!
They are setting up for a free kick at the spot,
Furano is presented with a chance to tie,
Damn!
That\'s a dangerous spot for a free kick,
Hyuga?! ,
You\'re feverish,,,
It\'s fine, Takeshi,
There are three forwards up front,
Where will Matsuyama send the ball to?
I\'m counting on you!
To the far post!
They go up for a mid-air battle! ,
When you compare this to our jumping in the snow,,,
Take it!
Wha,,,
The ball is sent towards the right!
Damn, I need to cover!
Again, the ball is sent to the right!
Finally, Oda takes the shot!
Will it be a tie?!
It isn\'t!
Hyuga manages to block it! What a close call!
But, the ball\'s deflected towards Matsuyama!
Damn!
I won\'t let you shoot!
Sawada is trying to stop the shot with a slide!
Who will be faster, Matsuyama or Sawada?
Matsuyama wins the battle!
Furano ties the score!
- You did it, Captain! - Nice shot! ,
Furano have used their team work to equalize the score!
- It was awesome! - ,
Let\'s go!
Furano gathers their strength and presses on!
Damn!
I won\'t lose to the likes of you!
Hyuga comes with a sliding tackle,
It\'s dodged!
What!?
The ball is sent in front of the goal!
How do you like that? ,
Oda runs up to the area!
Stop him! Whatever you do, don\'t let him shoot!
It\'s a hand ball!
Meiwa commits a foul in the penalty area!
Furano wins a penalty kick!
A penalty kick,,,
What a shocking turn of events!
There is less than a minute left to go in this match,
Furano has a chance to punch their ticket to the finals!
Me,,, lose in such a place?
Hyuga,,,
Walking up to take the kick is the Captain,
Hikaru Matsuyama, who scored their previous penalty in the first half,
Captain, we\'re counting on you,
Okay!
But remember: We all worked together to make this possible! ,
So I\'ll make sure to put all of your feelings into this penalty kick!
Yes!
All right,
Hold on! ,
There will be a keeper change,
Wakashimazu,,,?!
So, you have come!
Wakashimazu!
They are changing their goalkeeper?
He is an invincible goalkeeper I brought up, Ken Wakashimazu,
He\'s returned from a traffic accident from several months ago, He rises once more, like a phoenix!
We\'re counting on you, Wakashimazu!
Wakashimazu,
Captain, once I catch this, I\'ll pass it to you,,
Wakashimazu gets into position,
No matter who the keeper is, I\'ll definitely score this!
This is the penalty kick everyone worked so hard to earn!
I don\'t care if my leg breaks—I\'ll score! No matter what!
Matsuyama fires away with no hesitation!
It\'s caught!
Wakashimazu firmly hangs on to the ball!
Let\'s go, Captain!
Wakashimazu sends the ball flying to Hyuga without a moment\'s delay!
Crap! Go after Hyuga!
Hyuga collects himself and makes a mad dash towards Furano\'s goal!
Furano is chasing him with all of their might!
This is the final battle between Meiwa and Furano!
Hyuga makes it into Furano\'s side of the field and continues his run!
My leg,,,
I\'m counting on you guys,,,!
Goal,,, I have to send it into the goal,
Damn, we have to catch up with him!
Goal,,, I\'m going to shoot,
The ball gets stuck between Hyuga\'s foot and the Furano players\' tackle in a furious clash!
What!?
- - ,
He\'s blown them away!
The final whistle blows, signaling the end of the match!
What a dramatic end to the match!
The score is 3-2,
The curtain finally closes on this fierce cat-and-mouse game!
Meiwa manages to overcome Furano despite much difficulty!
That\'s our captain for you,
Furano has lost,
Guys,,,
Won,,,
Hyuga!
Did I win,,,?
- Hyuga! - Captain!?
Kojiro!
The doctor, call for the doctor!
As I thought, Hyuga\'s condition today was,,,
Let\'s go,
Don\'t cry, you guys,
- We tried our hardest, we fought with all we had and we came this far, ,
We can return to Hokkaido with our heads held high,
Y-yeah,
Hyuga,,,
I\'m fine,
I\'m just a little dizzy,
Hyuga,,,
I said all sorts of things about you,
but you fought with everything you had in your own way,
I understood that after playing against you today,
Today, we lost,
But let\'s play again someday, Kojiro Hyuga!
That was a great match,
Yes,
All right, it\'s our turn now,
Let\'s show the crowd a match as great as theirs!
Okay!
It\'s almost time for our showdown, Tsubasa!
Misugi, no matter what happens, I\'ll fight you with everything I\'ve got,
,
