[00:04] ---
    Just listen to this crowd!
[00:07] ---
    That's right.
[00:08] ---
    Finally, in our fourth match today,
    we have home team France Junior Youth.

[00:14] ---
    We've been waiting for you,
    France Junior Youth!
[00:17] ---
    We're counting on you, France!
[00:20] ---
    Pierre, don't hold back, we want to see
    that amazing soccer of yours.
[00:27] ---
    Led by Captain Elle Sid Pierre,
[00:30] ---
    Team France enters with a fiery home crowd
    and the pressure of an expected victory.

[00:37] ---
    And on the other side we have,
    from the motherland of soccer,

[00:40] ---
    England Junior Youth.
[00:42] ---
    It's bound to be one of
    the best matches of this first day.

[00:46] ---
    Our opponents are the host team, France.
[00:50] ---
    They're under extreme pressure
    not to lose.
[00:53] ---
    Unlike us, who've put everything into
    this first match, and we're ready for it.
[00:57] ---
    We've got all the info we need on France.
[01:00] ---
    All right, on the honor of England,
    the motherland of soccer...
[01:04] ---
    Let's win this!
[01:05] ---
    Yeah!
[01:15] ---
    CAPTAIN TSUBASA:
    JUNIOR YOUTH ARC
[01:18] ---
    
[02:38] ---
    EPISODE 12
    DESTINED FOR VICTORY
[02:44] ---
    And the game begins
    with France's kick-off.

[02:47] ---
    Tsubasa, guys, keep your eyes
    on Pierre, Number 10 from France.
[02:54] ---
    Number 10, Pierre.
[02:58] ---
    France is in possession, and its captain,
    Pierre, holds onto the ball.

[03:02] ---
    Without delay,
    he dribbles and moves his way up.

[03:05] ---
    All right, let's go.
[03:07] ---
    This is the first step to France
    Junior Youth winning this whole thing.

[03:23] ---
    Th-This is...
[03:25] ---
    Wh-What magnificent footwork.
[03:27] ---
    No one from England can keep up
    with his graceful dribbling.

[03:33] ---
    It looks like
    this is the Elle Sid Pierre show.

[03:36] ---
    His incredible ball handling skills
[03:38] ---
    has earned him the name
    "the soccer artist" here in France.
[03:41] ---
    They call him the Artist of the Pitch.
[03:44] ---
    Wow.
[03:46] ---
    You're gorgeous, Pierre.
[03:48] ---
    Go, Pierre!
[03:50] ---
    Pierre arrives at the goal
    all by himself.

[03:55] ---
    Will he shoot and crown the finale
    to his one-man show?

[03:59] ---
    The winners from today, Germany, Uruguay,
    and Japan with Misaki.

[04:04] ---
    All our rivals
    are watching from the stands.

[04:07] ---
    I can't make that shot yet.
[04:11] ---
    You've got to be kidding me.
[04:13] ---
    Why am I not on the starting roster?
[04:16] ---
    Napoleon, you haven't been
    with the team very long.
[04:20] ---
    I want you to observe today, and
    learn each player's idiosyncrasies.
[04:25] ---
    What? No way.
[04:28] ---
    I don't conform my playing to anyone.
[04:33] ---
    See here, Coach.
[04:34] ---
    Put me in and I'll score all by myself.
[04:38] ---
    So quit stalling and do it already.
[04:48] ---
    Oh, that was close!
[04:50] ---
    Pierre's superb last pass!
[04:53] ---
    But the forward, Borghi, misses.
[04:56] ---
    The ball goes way over the crossbar.
[04:59] ---
    Phew, close one.
[05:01] ---
    France couldn't make good
    on this first and rare chance.

[05:05] ---
    Is the home-game pressure
    becoming too much?

[05:07] ---
    S-Sorry, guys.
[05:10] ---
    No worries.
[05:11] ---
    Huh, a missed shot.
[05:13] ---
    Why would you put someone like that in?
[05:16] ---
    I can't figure out
    what this loser coach is thinking.
[05:20] ---
    Napoleon.
[05:24] ---
    No goal, but still, it's as Misaki said,
    Number 10 Pierre's got amazing skill.
[05:30] ---
    Yeah, he's incredible.
[05:33] ---
    It's like watching Misugi
    when he was in elementary school.
[05:38] ---
    Misugi.
[05:47] ---
    All right, let's get this done.
[05:49] ---
    Yeah.
[05:50] ---
    Now, it's England's turn to fight back.
[05:53] ---
    And the counterattack begins.
[05:57] ---
    Listen up, don't put any passes
    anywhere near Pierre.
[06:02] ---
    And the weakness in the French defense
    is shaking up the sides.
[06:07] ---
    What?
[06:09] ---
    England's right side, midfielder Jones,
[06:12] ---
    switches play
    with a long pass to the left.

[06:14] ---
    Forward Wright comes running in.
[06:17] ---
    He doubles back.
[06:19] ---
    Dean, the forward,
    pushes towards the goal.

[06:22] ---
    Goalie, come out.
[06:24] ---
    It's mine.
[06:26] ---
    And it's in!
[06:29] ---
    England takes the first point.
[06:32] ---
    We did it! Our strategy worked.
[06:35] ---
    Nice shot, Dean.
[06:37] ---
    These guys
    have really done their research.
[06:42] ---
    What are you doing, France?
[06:45] ---
    Guys, it's only one point.
[06:47] ---
    Let's pull it together.
[06:49] ---
    Y-Yeah.
[06:51] ---
    Five minutes into the first half,
[06:52] ---
    Dean gets the first point with England's
    famous aerial acrobatics.
[06:57] ---
    England's speed has shaken France,
    resulting in a speedy goal.

[07:02] ---
    What did I tell you?
[07:03] ---
    This is what happens
    when you don't play me.
[07:06] ---
    What happens from now on is on you.
[07:10] ---
    France kicks off to resume the match.
[07:15] ---
    Don't sweat it, France.
    It's only one point.
[07:17] ---
    We're counting on you, Pierre.
[07:23] ---
    Oh! And England intercepts already.
[07:26] ---
    France's footwork isn't looking good.
[07:29] ---
    Oh no, the guys are rushing.
[07:31] ---
    Calm down, guys.
[07:34] ---
    That's pressure.
[07:35] ---
    Yeah, all this cheering for the home team.
[07:38] ---
    It's having the opposite effect on them.
[07:41] ---
    If they give away one more point,
    France will lose this one.
[07:45] ---
    England's speed is too much
    for the French defenders.

[07:50] ---
    England attacks with fervor.
[07:52] ---
    Oh, intercepted.
[07:54] ---
    Pierre reads his opponent's pass
    and blocks it beautifully.

[07:58] ---
    Idiot, I told you to watch out for Pierre.
[08:02] ---
    S-Sorry.
[08:03] ---
    Pierre dribbles again.
[08:07] ---
    And he brings the ball
    back into the English territory alone.

[08:11] ---
    Go, Pierre.
[08:13] ---
    He gets through the furious tackle
    by England.

[08:16] ---
    This is no easy position,
    and he shoots with his left foot!

[08:23] ---
    The goalie comes running out
    and Pierre goes the other way.

[08:26] ---
    Oh no.
[08:28] ---
    But the defense
    has returned to this position.

[08:33] ---
    England's Captain Robson
    blocks the shot perfectly.

[08:38] ---
    Nice, Robson.
[08:40] ---
    I told you, that's what happens
    when you don't play me.
[08:44] ---
    You can have one amazing player,
    but soccer is still a team sport.
[08:49] ---
    France might just lose this home match.
[08:55] ---
    Here we go.
[08:56] ---
    One more point.
[08:58] ---
    Yeah.
[09:00] ---
    England is so fast.
[09:02] ---
    The French defenders can't keep up.
[09:06] ---
    Don't let them attack, intercept.
[09:09] ---
    C-Crap.
[09:11] ---
    What's wrong, guys? Go France!
[09:13] ---
    Come on, get the lead out,
    don't let them attack.
[09:16] ---
    France is struggling.
[09:18] ---
    Has the energy from the stands
    put too much pressure on them?

[09:21] ---
    Team France is stiff, and even after that
    first goal, England is not letting up.

[09:30] ---
    Darn.
[09:31] ---
    France is panicking under the attack.
[09:34] ---
    We should attack to the right,
    rather than left side here.
[09:37] ---
    Yeah.
[09:39] ---
    England is on a roll
    and continues the onslaught.

[09:42] ---
    Not only do they have speed,
[09:44] ---
    but you can see at every turn
    they've researched their opponents.

[09:48] ---
    They cut in sharply from the side
    and kick the ball in front of the goal.

[09:53] ---
    And the England forwards
    plough through.

[09:56] ---
    All right, that's our second point.
[09:59] ---
    Wright with a header.
[10:00] ---
    Perfect timing.
[10:03] ---
    Oh, but France has blocked it.
[10:06] ---
    What?
[10:07] ---
    Midfielder Pierre has come back
    this far and played defense.

[10:13] ---
    I won't you let you get a second point.
[10:15] ---
    Huh, he's the only one
    who can play on the French team.

[10:20] ---
    Napoleon!
[10:22] ---
    Let's go.
[10:23] ---
    Coach!
[10:25] ---
    Huh, it's about time.
[10:31] ---
    France kicks the ball over the sideline
    and gets out of dodge.
[10:37] ---
    Oh, and France is already
    making a substitution.

[10:42] ---
    Coming in for Number 3 Bravo
    is Number 20, Napoleon.

[10:47] ---
    Go for it, Napoleon.
[10:49] ---
    All right.
[10:52] ---
    Oh, he's...
[11:02] ---
    He's the guy who teamed up with Misaki
    and got by France Junior Youth.
[11:07] ---
    I didn't know he played for France.
[11:11] ---
    The match resumes
    with England's throw-in.

[11:18] ---
    Here's Napoleon,
    who just came into the match,

[11:21] ---
    intercepting the ball
    as quickly as England.

[11:25] ---
    Wow, he's fast.
[11:27] ---
    And he goes to the captain, Pierre.
[11:31] ---
    The other guys are useless.
[11:33] ---
    If you want to win this match, pass to me.
[11:37] ---
    I'll definitely kick it in.
[11:41] ---
    Napoleon leaves the ball
    with Pierre as he passes him.

[11:47] ---
    All right, Napoleon.
[11:50] ---
    As if to chase after Napoleon, Pierre
    again resorts to his forte, dribbling.

[11:55] ---
    This time we're stopping Pierre.
[11:58] ---
    Yeah.
[12:02] ---
    As you would expect
    from the Artist on the Pitch,

[12:05] ---
    will Elle Sid Pierre
    continue to cut into the goal from?

[12:12] ---
    Here, Napoleon.
[12:14] ---
    Oh, he doesn't cut in! He passes.
[12:17] ---
    A pass from straight behind to Napoleon
    running straight ahead.

[12:21] ---
    All right, take that.
[12:26] ---
    This is the Cannon Shot!
[12:33] ---
    Th-This...
[12:34] ---
    That was the shot he made.
[12:36] ---
    A straight ball with blistering spin
    is headed for England's goal.

[12:43] ---
    Goal! France Junior Youth
    ties the game, 1-1.

[12:49] ---
    Louis Napoleon, who just entered
    the match, makes the goal.

[12:54] ---
    He was assisted by Elle Sid Pierre.
[12:58] ---
    He took my pass
    and turned it into a thing of beauty.

[13:03] ---
    CAPTAIN TSUBASA:
    JUNIOR YOUTH ARC
[13:09] ---
    TEAM ENGLAND
[13:13] ---
    He did it!
[13:14] ---
    We're tied. Way to go, France!
[13:17] ---
    The match starts here.
[13:18] ---
    Yes, Napoleon.
[13:20] ---
    Nice shot!
[13:21] ---
    We're tied.
[13:22] ---
    Nice assist, Pierre.
[13:24] ---
    Napoleon.
[13:26] ---
    Amazing shot.
[13:28] ---
    I guess under all that ranting
    and raving he was the real thing.
[13:31] ---
    That shot...
[13:33] ---
    Its spin was sharp, but unlike your Drive
    Shot, it traveled straight as an arrow.
[13:39] ---
    With that kind of spin,
    even if the goalie manages to get near it,
[13:42] ---
    unless he can stop it with his chest,
    his arms will just fly off it.
[13:46] ---
    Okay, let's go.
[13:48] ---
    Now that I'm here, France won't lose.
[13:51] ---
    The match starts now.
[13:53] ---
    Yeah.
[13:54] ---
    The 1-1 score ends the first half,
    onto round two.

[13:59] ---
    Team France has finally loosened up
    and has begun

[14:01] ---
    to show us
    that fortitude we're used to seeing.

[14:05] ---
    Oh no.
[14:06] ---
    Keep it up, guys.
[14:08] ---
    All right, let's go.
[14:11] ---
    Here.
[14:12] ---
    Mine!
[14:15] ---
    Seven minutes into the second half,
[14:16] ---
    once again Napoleon
    scores on a return pass from Pierre

[14:20] ---
    and France Junior Youth
    finally has the lead.

[14:24] ---
    You did it, Napoleon.
[14:26] ---
    We're ahead.
[14:27] ---
    France edges ahead,
    and the crowd goes wild.

[14:30] ---
    Now we're talkin'.
[14:32] ---
    Way to go, France.
[14:33] ---
    Nice shot, Napoleon.
[14:36] ---
    One more point for a hat trick.
[14:39] ---
    There's no need for me
    to be the scorer this match.

[14:43] ---
    Today I concentrate
    on being the playmaker.

[14:49] ---
    Ever since Number 20,
    the French team are really moving.
[14:53] ---
    Yeah. England's speed really took 'em
    by surprise the first half,
[14:57] ---
    but France has better skills.
[15:00] ---
    So good to see France doing well.
[15:03] ---
    Yeah.
[15:04] ---
    First rate knows first rate.
[15:07] ---
    Napoleon may've said
    he doesn't bend his style for anyone,

[15:13] ---
    but he can run combinations well
    with Pierre.

[15:15] ---
    Both have outstanding instincts.
    They're both first rate.

[15:19] ---
    In every situation, they instinctively
    know what's best for one another.

[15:26] ---
    Once again,
    England is in front of the goal.

[15:32] ---
    Pierre's pass goes to Napoleon.
[15:36] ---
    All right, shoot it, Napoleon.
[15:38] ---
    All right, Cannon Shot!
[15:47] ---
    It's in! The third point for France!
[15:51] ---
    England's goalie, Robinson,
    managed to reach it,

[15:54] ---
    but the spin was just too much for him.
[15:59] ---
    I did it!
[16:00] ---
    This makes a hat trick for Napoleon.
[16:05] ---
    And that whistle ends the match.
[16:07] ---
    The home team wins!
    They beat England 3-1.

[16:12] ---
    And the opening day
[16:13] ---
    of the first International
    Junior Youth Tournament in France

[16:16] ---
    comes to an end.
[16:17] ---
    Schneider of Germany, Victorino
    of Uruguay, and Napoleon of France.

[16:23] ---
    On this first day of the tournament,
    three players have achieved hat tricks.

[16:28] ---
    The race for top scorer has become
[16:29] ---
    as interesting as which team
    will win the tournament.

[16:33] ---
    W-Wow.
[16:36] ---
    What's wrong, Tsubasa, you're trembling.
[16:39] ---
    I'm just excited.
[16:41] ---
    Wow, the world is a big place.
[16:43] ---
    All these amazing players.
[16:47] ---
    All right, I can't lose!
[16:51] ---
    Guys, let's keep fighting.
    Japan will win this tournament!
[16:56] ---
    Tsubasa.
[16:57] ---
    Tsubasa.
[17:01] ---
    Same ol' Tsubasa.
[17:08] ---
    All together now, Captain Tsubasa news.
[17:10] ---
    CAPTAIN TSUBASA NEWS
[17:13] ---
    FRANCE'S FIRST INTERNATIONAL
    JUNIOR YOUTH TOURNAMENT
[17:14] ---
    The first day of the International Junior
    Youth Tournament in France has ended.
[17:17] ---
    END OF FIRST DAY
[17:20] ---
    GERMANY VS CANADA
[17:20] ---
    In the Germany versus Canada match,
    Germany won 4-0.
[17:25] ---
    Can you believe Karl Heinz Schneider
    of Germany, nicknamed the Young Emperor,
[17:29] ---
    achieved a hat trick!
[17:31] ---
    He's already declared victory,
    saying Germany has no opponents.
[17:35] ---
    We love his moody, brooding look.
[17:39] ---
    URUGUAY VS BELGIUM
[17:40] ---
    The Uruguay versus Belgium match
    was 3-1 for Uruguay.
[17:45] ---
    Victorino also achieved
    a hat trick this match.
[17:50] ---
    FRANCE VS ENGLAND
[17:51] ---
    In France versus England, home team
    France wins 3-1 over England.
[17:56] ---
    Pierre, the French captain,
    had three assists
[17:58] ---
    THREE ASSISTS
[17:59] ---
    and Napoleon is the third
    to achieve a hat trick.
[18:01] ---
    THREE GOALS
[18:05] ---
    Schneider and Victorino
    were on the pitch the entire time.

[18:08] ---
    I went in last minute.
    That means I'm the best.

[18:11] ---
    There you heard it,
    from the proud man himself.
[18:13] ---
    Pierre is nice,
    but Sir Napoleon is oh so dreamy.
[18:17] ---
    And Japan versus Italy match
    was the glorious first match.
[18:22] ---
    Japan took two points
    from the perfect goalie Hernandez to win.
[18:24] ---
    JAPAN VS ITALY
[18:29] ---
    Kojiro Hyuga made the winning goal
    right before the end of the match.
[18:35] ---
    And participating in all the goals with
    one assist and one goal is Tsubasa Ozora.
[18:44] ---
    The second day
    sees more fiercely fought matches.

[18:46] ---
    In the first match,
    Germany defeats Portugal 4-1,

[18:51] ---
    and already secures a spot
    in the finals tournament.

[18:53] ---
    We did it.
[18:54] ---
    We're in the final tournament.
[18:58] ---
    And their captain, Karl Heinz Schneider,
[19:01] ---
    has achieved hat tricks
    two matches in a row.

[19:04] ---
    A-Amazing.
[19:06] ---
    Germany is so strong.
[19:08] ---
    Impressive.
[19:09] ---
    Showing us up, Schneider.
[19:12] ---
    I get why they're the frontrunners to win.
[19:16] ---
    Karl Heinz Schneider.
[19:23] ---
    Are you watching, Dad, Mom, Marie?
[19:31] ---
    Our Schneider of Germany Junior Youth
    just got another hat trick.

[19:37] ---
    Way to go, Karl.
[19:43] ---
    Your son is amazing.
[19:46] ---
    Oh, well I...
[19:48] ---
    Wow, your brother's awesome.
[19:51] ---
    Yeah.
[19:54] ---
    All right, let's go.
[19:56] ---
    Bring the balls to me.
[19:57] ---
    I want two hat tricks in a row, too.
[20:00] ---
    All right.
[20:04] ---
    -We did it!
    -We won!
[20:06] ---
    Nice shot, Victorino!
[20:08] ---
    Uruguay Junior Youth defeats
    a strong Spanish opponent 1-0,

[20:12] ---
    and advances to the final tournament.
[20:14] ---
    Ramon Victorino was marked
    relentlessly by Spain

[20:18] ---
    and while he got one goal,
    he didn't make the hat trick.

[20:23] ---
    I'll have to settle this
    with Schneider in the finals.

[20:27] ---
    In the third match,
    England wins against Costa Rica, 2-0.

[20:31] ---
    In Block C, Team France,
    who beat England yesterday,

[20:35] ---
    is a strong contender
    to advance to the final tournament.

[20:38] ---
    We have an easy opponent tomorrow.
[20:40] ---
    I can rest on the bench if you want.
[20:45] ---
    And now, we begin the fourth match,
    Argentina versus Italy.
[20:51] ---
    Argentina Junior Youth enters the pitch.
[20:54] ---
    Finally, it's time for us to go on.
[20:58] ---
    And their opponents, Team Italy, enter.
[21:02] ---
    Hey, look at that!
[21:04] ---
    That's...
[21:06] ---
    The perfect goalkeeper,
    Zino Hernandez, is on the bench.

[21:10] ---
    During the match with Japan, when he went
    after Tsubasa's and Hyuga's shots,

[21:15] ---
    he broke his middle and index fingers
    of that famous golden right arm.

[21:19] ---
    Doctors say it'll be one month
    before he makes a complete recovery.

[21:22] ---
    If Hernandez isn't playing...
[21:24] ---
    Then Argentina
    definitely has the advantage.
[21:28] ---
    Hernandez...
[21:30] ---
    Oh well, I was really looking forward
    to going up against him.
[21:36] ---
    Whatever, a win for Argentina
    is a win no matter how ya slice it.
[21:43] ---
    Argentina versus Italy, the match begins.
[21:49] ---
    SUBURB OF PARIS, FRANCE
[21:51] ---
    Match ends! The boys
    from São Paulo, Brazil, win 3-1.

[21:56] ---
    Yay! We won!
[21:58] ---
    We won all three games!
[22:01] ---
    We won, Coach.
[22:02] ---
    Coach! Coach Roberto!
