[00:01] Kaneda
Those youth tryouts...
[00:04] Kaneda
I failed because I got
too cozy with all of you.
[00:07] Kaneda
I will never forgive you.
[00:09] Ashita
Kaneda...
[00:10] Nakano
K-Kaneda-kun, you shouldn't say—
[00:14] Kaneda
Nakano. Stop talking to these bastards.
[00:18] Kaneda
Let's go.
[00:19] Ashito
W-Wait a minute, Kaneda!
[00:22] Ashito
What's gotten into you?
[00:24] Kaneda
Aoi, you in particular...
[00:27] (Flashback) Ashito
I... I think we should get to
know each other a little...
[00:32] Kaneda
You're the one who started it all.
[00:34] Kaneda
Those tryouts were do or die.
[00:37] Kaneda
Without your little talk,
I could've played like I usually do.
[00:40] Kaneda
I would've passed.
[00:44] Ohtomo
Wh-What on earth is he talking about?
[00:47] Kaneda
How the hell talentless shmucks
like you got into Esperion—
[00:50] Tachibana
Kaneda!
[00:51] Tachibana
Do you even hear yourself?
[00:55] Tachibana
You're blaming others
for your shortcomings!
[00:58] Kaneda
Tachibana.
[01:00] Kaneda
I've scored seven goals playing as
a forward in the Metropolis League.
[01:07] Kaneda
I hear you haven't scored any,
even though you've played every game.
[01:12] Kaneda
Are you struggling?
[01:14] Kaneda
And all because you got into a
big club you don't deserve to be in.
[01:19] Kaneda
Doesn't that fill you with regret?
[01:21] Kaneda
Well?
[02:54] Kaneda
But I guess Tachibana doesn't have it so bad.

[02:56] Kaneda
Aoi, I heard they branded you a failure as
a forward, so you're playing defense now.
[03:02] Kaneda
How pathetic.
[03:04] Kaneda
I knew you'd turn out to be the most useless.
[03:09] Nakano
Kaneda-kun!
[03:13] Ashito
You're wrong.
[03:16] Ashito
Tachibana and Ohtomo are amazing players.
[03:21] Ashito
I've thought that ever since the tryouts.
[03:25] Ashito
Anyone who says otherwise doesn't know jack.
[03:29] Kaneda
So Tachibana and Ohtomo are "amazing," huh?
[03:32] Kaneda
And? What about yourself?
[03:35] Kaneda
You're aware you're no help to your team, huh?
[03:39] Ashito
It's true I don't get to play in matches.
[03:41] Ashito
But I'm close. I'll be in the lineup soon.
[03:46] Kaneda
As a full-back, yeah?
[03:49] Kaneda
I play on the right wing.
Which side do you play on?
[03:53] Ashito
Left.
[03:54] Kaneda
Nice.
[03:57] Kaneda
We can face off against each other.
[03:59] Kaneda
Make sure you play in the game.
[04:02] Kaneda
I already had my sights set
on this Esperion match.
[04:06] Kaneda
I'll make them regret not taking me.
[04:09] Kaneda
I'll crush you.
[04:13] Kaneda
Though I guess I can't if
they don't play you, huh?
[04:19] Nakano
Kaneda-kun, wait.
[04:21] Ohtomo
Nakano!
[04:24] Ohtomo
Are you seriously okay about
playing with a jerk like that?
[04:29] Nakano
I'm sorry he said all that horrible stuff.
I apologize on his behalf.
[04:33] Nakano
But...
[04:34] Togashi
He can talk the talk, huh?
[04:38] Togashi
Whatever yer motivation,
if ya pour yer heart into it, ya win.
[04:42] Togashi
His core seems real strong,
and he's confident.
[04:45] Togashi
Bet he worked his ass off
after failin' the tryouts.
[04:49] Ashito
His body...
[04:51] Ashito
...was like steel.
[04:54] Nakano
We've worked our asses off
for a year since that day.
[04:58] Nakano
Everyone at Musashino did,
under Manager Satake's guidance.
[05:02] Ashito
Manager...
[05:04] Nakano
Our team's made up of players who
didn't get into J.League youth teams.
[05:10] Nakano
But that doesn't matter.
[05:12] Nakano
Right now, we're truly strong.
It feels like no one can beat us.
[05:16] Nakano
You won't, either.
[05:19] Nakano
Well, see ya. I'm looking forward to our match.
[05:22] Tachibana
Nakano.
[05:23] Tachibana
How's Manager Satake doing?
[05:26] Nakano
When I mentioned your name,
he sounded concerned.
[05:30] Nakano
He said he wished you'd
call from time to time.
[05:33] Nakano
Okay, I'm going for real this time.
[05:38] Ohtomo
Cheer up, Tachibana.
[05:40] Ohtomo
Kaneda's a jerk, and I'm sure
he talked himself up plenty.
[05:46] Ohtomo
Let's go.
[05:48] Ohtomo
Let's get back to the dorm!
"Say no mo', Ohtomo!"
[05:52] (Flashback) Kaneda/I
Though I guess I can't if
they don't play you, huh?

Uh, I'm your captain, Yoshitsune Kenta.
[06:31] Yoshitsune
My injury is healing up nicely, but my
game sense isn't back to what it was,
[06:36] Yoshitsune
so I'm playing in the B team's matches
to get it there. I look forward to...
[06:40] Ohtomo
W-Wow! Yoshitsune-san's our forward?
[06:41] Yoshitsune
As long as I'm in the game, we'll win! Yeah!
[06:45] Isshiki
Man... Now that Yoshitsune's on the team,
we can play the perfect formation,

Takeshima
[06:59] Isshiki
Hey, where's Aoi?
[07:02] Togashi
He's joggin' around outside
'cause he can't focus.
[07:05] Shimizu
J-Jogging?!
[07:07] Isshiki
Is he an idiot? The game's in two hours!
Is he trying to wear himself out before it?
[07:11] Yoshitsune
Did you say jogging?
[07:13] Isshiki
Yeah, I know! Our first-year full-back's...
[07:17] Ohtomo
He's always been like this, apparently.
[07:20] Ohtomo
Whenever he wants to think,
he just goes for a long run.
[07:24] Yoshitsune
And that helps him focus?
[07:28] Yoshitsune
Then it's a-okay with me.
[07:29] Isshiki
Huh? H-Hey, Yoshitsune!
[07:33] Isshiki
Togashi, you know what to do, right?
[07:35] Isshiki
What Nozomi-san talked about.
[07:39] (Flashback) Date
Moving on to the defense.
[07:42] (Flashback) Date
Togashi, you've been faithfully
following Fukuda's instructions.
[07:45] (Flashback) Togashi
Right. No attackin' till
I have defendin' down pat.
[07:50] (Flashback) Date
That deserves praise. Considering your
nature, you're doing well to stick to it.

[08:12] (Flashback) Date
Both full-backs, think hard before you move.
[08:16] Shimizu
This time, we've got Yoshitsune-san.
[08:18] Shimizu
We can score without the defenders
needing to stretch themselves.
[08:22] Isshiki
You got that?
[08:23] Togashi
Ya sure? To me, what Date-san said meant...
[08:26] Togashi
So long as I do my defensive duties,
I can join the attack.
[08:31] Togashi
He did say "an aggressive formation,"
didn't he? He was talkin' 'bout this lineup.
[08:38] Isshiki
Jeez.
[08:40] Isshiki
You and Aoi... You first-years
sure you're ready for this?
[08:45] Isshiki
Look at Tachibana.
[08:47] Isshiki
He gets to play in this game,
but can he really play like that?
[08:53] Shimizu
And what worries me the
most is Aoi-kun at full-back.
[08:58] Shimizu
Why did Coach Nozomi
decide to play him this game?
[09:02] Anri
Stop what you're doing this instant!
[09:06] Anri
Running around before a match?
What are you thinking?
[09:10] Anri
You mentioned you felt you
couldn't do anything at full-back...
[09:15] Anri
Do you still feel that way?
[09:17] Anri
If you don't make a mark here,
they'll bench you for who knows how long.
[09:23] (Flashback) Fukuda
You will never again play as a forward.
[09:27] (Flashback) Takeshima
Maybe you should take a look
at how Kuribayashi-san plays.
[09:31] (Flashback) Kaneda
I'll crush you.
[09:35] Anri
Oh, by the way, Hana-san contacted me.
[09:39] Anri
She's coming to watch the game today.
[09:49] Ashito
That's it.
[09:51] Ashito
I'm feeling happy right now.
[09:54] Ashito
Like you said, I haven't been able to
accept the fact that I'm a full-back now.
[10:00] Ashito
And now that I'm a starter...
[10:02] Ashito
It just didn't feel right.
[10:06] Ashito
For the past month, those boring head turns
were all I had to apply myself to.
[10:11] Ashito
I got yelled at all the time in training.
[10:14] Ashito
I thought maybe I was feeling nervous.
[10:19] Ashito
But that's not it at all. It's more...
[10:24] Ashito
Even though I'm playing
at full-back, I'm happy.
[10:28] Ashito
What’s gotten into me?
I even surprised myself.
[10:34] Ashito
I see. So Hana's coming. Okay.
[10:39] Ashito
Then, I've gotta show her some good stuff.
[10:43] Ashito
My mind's clear now. Let's get back.
[10:49] Anri/I
"Happy"?
[10:51] Anri/I
He was running before the
game to work through that?
[10:55] Anri/I**
More importantly...
[10:57] Anri/I
Why did hearing Hana-san's
name help you realize that?
[11:03] Ashito/I
My first match as a full-back.
I hated the idea of playing as one...
[11:09] Ashito/I
But my heart's saying otherwise.
[11:11] Ashito/I
I feel ready to do something special.
[11:16] Ashito/I
I'm gonna do it!
[11:30] Kaneko
Why...
[11:32] Kaneko
Why's that boy playing defense?!
[11:35] Spectator 1
That full-back's no good.
[11:37] Spectator 3
Yeah. He's the weak link on his team.
[11:46] Takeshima/I
You seriously fell for that lousy feint?
[11:55] Takeshima
Nice, Togashi!
[11:57] Isshiki
Aoi! At least block the crosses!
[12:00] Isshiki
How many times have
you let them do that now?
[12:04] Isshiki
If the ball carrier comes into your zone,
even if you have to dive in, just stop him!
[12:08] Anri
Oh. If it isn't the reporter from before.
[12:12] Anri
Did you think you'd get an interesting
article out of a local league match?
[12:16] Kaneko
Hey, what's going on?! With Aoi Ashito, I mean!
[12:20] Kaneko
Why's he a defender?!
[12:22] Kaneko
And after I came here to check him out today.
[12:29] Ashito/I
Damn it all.
[12:31] Ashito/I
I really hate defending.
Even one-on-ones are difficult.
[12:35] Ashito/I
Take a breath. I have to calm down.
[12:38] Ashito/I
I'm more overexcited
than I am nervous.
[12:43] Tama U 13
Their left-back's weak.
[12:46] Tama U 8
Yeah, he must be filling in because
they're short on players or something.
[12:51] Tama U 8
You can tell he's new to the role.
[12:53] Tama U 8
My heart stopped when I heard the U-18
Premier League's top scorer was playing,
[12:58] Tama U 8
but he hasn't been a problem.
[13:00] Tama U 8
They're all so slow.
[13:02] Tama U 8
You can see why they're on a losing streak.
[13:05] Tama U 13
The wing's the way to go. We'll attack
down there and grab the opening goal.
[13:11] Tama U 8
Right.
[13:14] Kaneko
I...
[13:15] Kaneko
I watched his last match and got so
excited seeing him involved in every goal!
[13:21] Kaneko
That's not a good position for him!
He's looking this way and that!
[13:24] Kaneko
Is that necessary?
[13:25] Kaneko
He just needs to follow the center-back's
instructions and look upfield!
[13:30] Kaneko
A full-back's the same as the Lance in shogi.
[13:35] (Flashback) Yuma
"Like the Lance in shogi."
[13:39] Kaneko
Seriously, why?
[13:41] Sign (Top)
Tama Sports U
[13:41] Sign (Bottom)
Esperion B
[13:44] Ashito/I
For the past month...
[13:46] Ashito/I
aside from the usual basic training,
I've worked really hard on my head turns.
[13:51] Tama U 26
The wing!
[13:52] Ohtomo
Crap!
[13:53] Ohtomo
They're trying to overwhelm Ashito!
[13:56] Ashito/I
Calm down.
[13:58] Ashito/I
Calm down.
[14:00] Ashito/I
Calm down!
[14:01] Isshiki
Tackle the ball carrier!
[14:03] Ashito/I
Calm down!
[14:06] Ashito/I
Calm down!
[14:08] Hana
You can do it!
[14:12] Hana
You can do it...
[14:13] Hana
...defender!
[14:28] Ashito
Ohtomo!
[14:29] Ashito
Don't get drawn out!
[14:30] Ashito
Get on their No. 26!
[14:32] Ohtomo
R-Right.
[14:33] Anri
He's barking instructions?
[14:35] Tama U 13/I
Wh-What the heck?
[14:37] Tama U 13/I
If you go there, there's no space to attack.
[14:40] Tama U 13/I
Their defensive midfielder's over here...
[14:43] Tama U 13/I
So my only choice is to go this side.
[14:47] (Flashback) Isshiki
Tackle the ball carrier!
[14:49] Ashito/I
No. I'm not going to tackle a player.
[14:52] Ashito/I
What I need to do is tackle...
[14:54] Ashito/I
...the space!
[14:59] Tsukishima
That was a really nice move just now.
[15:02] Tsukishima
He started running before the pass.
He read the path perfectly.
[15:07] Tsukishima
It was as if it was Aoi-kun
who'd chosen that path.
[15:17] Hana
Hey, Ashito's move just now...
[15:19] Hana
That was good, right?
[15:21] Hana
It feels like he defended well.
[15:23] Anri
Um, yes.
[15:24] Kaneko
Oh, hey, you're the girl who
showed me around last time.
[15:29] Kaneko
Hm? Is he looking at you?
[15:38] Kaneko
Wait, he just ignored a cute girl
like you who's cheering for him?
[15:44] Anri
It's a game. He's focused on it.
[15:48] Hana
Oh, sorry, my bad.
[15:52] Ashito/I
It worked!
[15:54] Ashito/I
It worked really well!
[15:56] Ashito/I
Watch the ball carrier's movement,
[15:58] Ashito/I
then the movements of the
players without the ball.
[16:00] Ashito/I
It's such a basic thing in soccer.
[16:03] Ashito/I
But I get it now. It's all still just dots.
[16:07] Ashito/I
And the players are the dots.
[16:09] Ashito/I
Um, so if you do dot-to-dot...
[16:12] Ashito/I
The area between the players...
[16:14] Ashito/I
That's where the spaces are!
[16:16] Ashito/I
If there aren't any good spaces,
players are nothing but dots.
[16:20] Ashito/I
And rather than tackling dots, taking away
the space they want to use will tie 'em up.
[16:27] Ohtomo
Crap! They're countering, Ashito!
[16:33] Ashito/I
So when I'm turning my head,
[16:35] Ashito/I
I need to note the spaces the other team
might look to use, not just their positioning.
[16:41] Ashito
There!
[16:42] Takeshima
H-Hey!
[16:46] Ashito
Huh?
[16:53] Spectator 1
A foul? Is he hurt?
[16:55] Takeshima
Aoi!
[16:58] Takeshima
Don't get drawn out like that.
[17:01] Takeshima
Don't leave such a gaping hole in your zone.
[17:04] Ashito/I
Players are always on the move,
[17:07] Ashito/I
so spaces the other team want
to use are shifting every second.
[17:11] Ashito/I
Was that interception earlier pure luck?
[17:15] Date
Aoi!
[17:16] Date
Come here.
[17:19] Date
Why do you think you failed just now?
[17:24] Date
Why do you think you
managed to intercept it earlier?
[17:27] Ashito
Well, um...
[17:28] Date
On that successful interception,
were you looking at the players?
[17:32] Ashito
I was!
[17:33] Ashito
I knew the ball would go into that space
because I saw where the players were.
[17:37] Date
Right. It was the perfect solution.
[17:41] Date
Including the instruction you
gave to Ohtomo just before.
[17:45] Date
At that time, you told
Ohtomo to go out to the left,
[17:51] Date
cutting off that route by making it
impossible for them to link up there, correct?
[17:56] Ashito
Y-Yeah!
[17:58] Ashito
Ohtomo tried to go into the middle,
but Shimizu-san was already there.
[18:03] Date
And then?
[18:05] Ashito
And then, the opposition
player gave up on the wing,
[18:08] Ashito
and the only choice
he had was to go centrally.
[18:11] Ashito
Tachibana was coming up on him from behind.
[18:14] Ashito
But Shimizu-san was in
a really good position,
[18:18] Ashito
so that limited the options
for the opposition player.
[18:21] Ashito
So...
[18:24] Date
You really do have good vision.
[18:28] Date
Because you can see it all so well,
you have to take it one step further, Aoi.
[18:33] Date
Both times, you spotted the space. When you
intercepted successfully and when you didn't.
[18:38] Date
So what was different?
[18:41] Ashito
Oh. I see.
[18:44] Tama U 13
We're the ones on top.
[18:46] Tama U 13
Let's go get the first goal!
[18:49] Ohtomo/I
Damn it! We're not
getting any time on the ball!
[18:53] Ashito
Ohtomo!
[18:54] Ashito
Go a little more central!
Takeshima and I have this side covered!
[18:59] Ashito
Shimizu-san, I'll mark their No. 26.
[19:03] Shimizu
Okay!
[19:04] Ashito/I
Right before that interception,
I used the players around me.

As a result, it created a gaping hole
in my zone, and they ran into it.

I can see the positions of
the players and the spaces.
[19:22] Ashito/I
Because I'm in this position at the back,
[19:24] Ashito/I
I can shout instructions and fill
the spaces with my teammates!
[19:29] Ashito/I
Hey, Ohtomo, you gotta shuffle across more!
They're gonna come for that space!
[19:37] Ashito/I
Someone, I need that space covered.
[19:44] Yoshitsune
One second, you're terrible.
The next, you're amazing.
[19:47] Yoshitsune
You're an interesting first-year.
[19:51] Yoshitsune
You gave me the energy I needed.
[19:54] Ashito/I
Yoshitsune-san...
[19:56] Yoshitsune
All righty. Shall we go score some goals?
[20:00] Ashito
Huh?
[20:07] Yoshitsune
Nice return.
[20:10] Tama U 16
There's no way he can make...
[20:12] Tama U 8
...a difference by himself!
[20:14] Hana
Wow, two of them?
[20:17] Tachibana
Yoshitsune-san! Pass!
[20:19] Tama U 8
They're coming for you!
[20:33] Tsukishima
Huh?
[20:38] Yoshitsune
So the B team isn't ready for that, huh?
[20:41] Yoshitsune
I see, I see.
[20:43] Anri
When Yoshitsune faces forward, all you
need to do is find a space and run into it.
[20:50] Anri
All the Esperion players
are facing forward now.

Yoshitsune-san!
[21:04] Tama U 4
Stop him! Don't let him hold onto it for long!
[21:12] Tama U 8
He didn't fall?!
[21:19] Yoshitsune
Hey, punk.
[21:21] Togashi/I
This guy sure is somethin'.
[21:23] Togashi/I
He confuses the other team all by
himself and takes away their space.
[21:28] Togashi
Here you go.
[21:51] Tachibana/I
This is how a forward who everyone
has absolute faith in should be.
[21:57] Tachibana/I
There's no way I can be like that.
[22:01] Ashito
Yoshitsune-san!
[22:03] Ashito
I want to be like you.
[22:05] Ashito
How can I be more like you?
[22:07] Ashito
Please tell me.
[22:10] Yoshitsune
Oh, I see.
[22:12] Yoshitsune
You're, um... Aoi, right?
[22:16] Yoshitsune
Seeing you play today,
a lot of stuff makes sense now.
[22:20] Yoshitsune
Fukuda-san often speaks
highly of you to the A team.
[22:25] Ashito
Huh?
[22:26] Yoshitsune
Aoi, don't try to be like me.
[22:30] Yoshitsune
You're already climbing the ladder
you're supposed to on your own.
