Before the spiraling whirlwind of the new Total Foot,
Enoshima gave up the first goal.
In the second half, Coach Iwaki
finally solved the mystery of this powerful soccer;
the enemy's Achilles' heel.
To penetrate the eye of the typhoon,
the knight in the area activates!
We'll break through the eye of the typhoon:
the center of the spiraling storm.
I'm counting on you, Kota-kun.
Roger.
Kick Off!!
Looks like Nakatsuka is replacing Yakumo on the right side.
Here I go!
Nakatsuka on the right side?
So that's what's going on.
In that case...
Hyodo!
Looks like they're planning something,
but there's only 20 minutes left.
Once you've come this far,
there's no way around the new Total Foot.
If we steal it here, we'll immediately have a chance at a goal.
The older brother is still near the penalty area.
In order to pull off what Iwaki-chan called the "eye of the typhoon,"
we've got to get them spinning, first.
Now's my time to shine!
This guy's fast!
Looks like they've been taken off guard by Nakatsuka's
speed on the right side.
Sagamigaura's defensive players are off balance.
This could be a chance!
Of course, I've figured it out.
The nature of the new Total Foot.
Looks like they've figured it out.
Why you...
Nakatsuka, don't push it!
Matoba.
He returned the pass?
From Matoba to Aizawa, then to Takase for a side change.
All right. Now the spiral will start to spin.
Looks like they're making use of Takase's long stride to suddenly—
Wait! He's been caught in the ball hunt.
You're mine!
Takase has no choice but to pass back.
Nakatsuka's long awaited chance on the right side has now
passed over to Sawamura on the opposite side.
No, this is fine.
To accelerate the leftward turn,
we'll send passes in a leftward direction and have them chance after it.
Yes, then after our unexpected attack,
the Sagamigaura defense that had run to defend
will walk with the rotation towards the center to rest.
The typhoon has begun to spin.
Yes.
The storm will subside, and a cloudless sky will open.
Will this be a chance for Enoshima?
It depends on Oda.
The only one who can make it through
the storm right now is him.
All right, now.
He's returned the ball to the middle.
But there's no one there... wait!
Oda's running for it.
I don't have time to trap it. I'll have to one touch.
It's Oda's long feed!
It's heading straight for the open area in the vital space.
Oh no. Get back, Tsuguhide, Kazuhide!
Divide the enemy by making them rotate with a side change.
Then, shift from slow to fast,
and penetrate the unmanned center with a sudden long feed.
The Enoshima attack is moving in from all sides,
but the sweeper, Rindo, is waiting for it.
The only troublesome opponent is Rindo-san.
The two conductors, the Tendo brothers, are both in the middle.
That's right, only in this instant,
the two who lie on that diagonal line
are separated from the offensive and defensive fronts.
Like the eye of a typhoon, only for an instant,
the new Total Foot storm subsides and it becomes windless.
Here we go!
This time,
we'll win with numbers!
I'll stop you!
Kakeru, in a match with few chances,
don't give up a single one.
That's what an ace striker does.
Goal! With 15 minutes left,
Aizawa puts the ball into the goal with his left foot!
Enoshima has managed to tie up the game.
All right.
You did it, Kakeru!
Shake it off, Tsuguhide.
I know. Damn it.
That number 14 turned out to be a real problem.
The game is starting to get interesting.
Enoshima is the more skilled team.
Once the magic is spoiled,
that might be the end of the show.
Just like Asuka said, that long feed turned into a goal.
I guess Enoshima's victory is assured.
That's if the other side keeps up the new Total Foot.
I'm impressed, Enoshima.
You've found the new Total Foot's weakness.
Don't worry, Coach.
There's 15 minutes left.
We'll run with everything we've got and leave them speechless.
Genuine Total Foot!
Those kids...
All right! Go get 'em!
Only you can do it. Win at all costs.
Let's show them.
The real game starts now.
Forward, forward!
The Tendo brothers are both attacking?
Could Sagamigaura be...
Yes. It appears they've abandoned the position rotation.
With 15 minutes left, they plan to all attack
and all run back to defend.
These guys...
They're moving completely differently.
Ikki!
Goro!
We can't lose.
We're going to change high school soccer.
Even those without decent practice fields,
like us, can win the championship!
Tsuguhide!
I'll prove it in this match.
Don't back down!
We'll hit them with numbers and stop them.
I'll stop you!
Kazuhide!
I won't let you shoot!
It's mine!
I won't let another goal through!
Forward, forward!
Now it's Enoshima's turn!
Here we go! It's comeback time!
Get back!
Everyone on defense!
Stop them!
I'll stop you!
Hyodo sends it to Nakatsuka on the right side.
But here's number 8, Matsumoto.
Wait! It wasn't a pass to Nakatsuka, it was to Oda.
What?!
Then from Oda to...
Go!
Hino!
This is it! Everyone attack!
They're moving up!
Enoshima's talented combination attack!
We'll claim this.
Takase!
The ones who'll win...
...will be us!
Close! But, this time it's Aizawa.
Go!
All right, it's clear.
Goal!
It's good!
We did it!
All right.
The usually cool Oda celebrates with a fist in the air!
Three minutes left in the second half. At 2-1, Enoshima has taken the lead!
Damn it!
Not yet! There's still time!
That's right, our Total Foot...
...isn't over yet.
Here they come.
Get the formation together.
Concentrate!
The ball's still in the middle.
Hold the front line and keep them out of the zone!
From slow to fast.
If there's a hole, even for a second, we'll break through it.
These short passes are just distractions.
It'll definitely come.
The sudden attack.
40 minutes are up. Two minutes left in loss time.
All right. Here we go!
Now!
Go!
Kill, kill, kill!
What?
We'll stop you!
If they steal it, it's over.
I'll never give it up.
Over here, Tsuguhide!
Tsuguhide has no one to pass to! Is this game?
Not yet!
It's Rindo!
Rindo, who's stayed on defense so far, has overlapped!
Watch out!
I won't let you shoot!
It deflected!
I'm not done yet!
That's the whistle.
The struggle has ended.
2-1, Enoshima advances to the semifinals.
It's over.
Yeah! We did it, Kakeru!
All right.
We're into the semi's!
Okay.
We did it!
Nice game. Good work.
Sorry, Rin-chan.
After you put off joining the youth league for half a year just for this tournament...
Don't be stupid.
I've dreamed of going to nationals, too.
I didn't do this for you.
Rin-chan.
Kazu, Tsugu, I got to play such a great game
with the two of you.
I'm... I'm...
What are you crying for, Rin-chan?
Sagamigaura, you're the best!
You guys were amazingly cool!
That's right.
You guys were the best team!
Thank you very much.
Applause sounds for both teams, who performed splendidly.
For the first time in 10 years,
Enoshima has advanced into the Kanagawa championship semifinals.
Congratulations to our Enoshima eleven!
It's Asuka again!
The match to decide Enoshima's next opponent:
Yoin versus Shoryu Fujisawa, the quarterfinals.
Without the wing pivotal for attack,
Onimaru-san, some said Yoin would struggle,
but what occurred before us was a hair-raising scene.
Damn it!
Goal!
Calmly evaluating the sudden attack,
he claims a goal with his left.
The first year striker who's been moved up to be
a regular, Takumi Emishi, pulls off a hat trick!
Who's that first year?
Takumi Emishi. He's worth keeping an eye on.
That's the game.
Yoin crushes Shoryu Fujisawa, 4-0.
They've claimed a spot in the
semifinals for the third consecutive year.
I didn't want to see that.
4-0, without Onimaru.
Honestly, they're an amazing team.
With Onimaru-kun, they'll be even stronger
than they were at the inter-highs.
However, we're stronger, as well.
Right?
Yes!
Malaysia
So the Japanese representatives defeated Thailand, 6-0.
Onimaru-kun, what was the key to your success?
Well, I suppose...
They did it!
It is said that many young Japanese are cell phone addicts,
but even as such a time as this...
You were a huge part of today's match, performing a hat trick,
but what's your goal for this tournament?
Actually, I just received a text.
My home team from Japan just defeated
a strong opponent and moved into the semifinals.
They pulled it off even without me.
It's my turn now.
What do you mean by that?
I'll destroy this tournament and take number one in Asia.
Mexico's corner kick.
The ball's into the penalty area.
Ishiki clears it.
The player who picks it up is... Mishima.
Japan vs Mexico
The counterattack has begun.
Nadeshiko Japan presses forward with a rush of counterattacks.
An Elastico, and now a Witch Turn.
Mark number 18!
Mishima's killer pass.
But no one's there to...
Wait, it's Ishiki!
Goal! It's good!
At 32 minutes, in the second half,
using Murasaki as a decoy,
Ishiki scores for a 2-1 comeback.
They've pushed past the strong Mexico team.
Nice goal, Tae-san.
Those practices have paid off.
Yes.
I'm bored!
The decoy role doesn't suit me.
It's all part of the plan.
Try to understand, Mai-chan.
Jeez!
I'll pass it to you next, Mai-chan.
Is that all right, Tae-san?
Make sure you score, Mai-chan.
Okay.
My intuition was right after all.
I think those girls can attain it soon.
The World Cup.
Coach Takeda...
After all,
their cuteness is top class at the world level!
Go, go, Mai-chan! Go, Mai-chan!
How creepy is this guy?
Goal!
Just before the end of the game, Murasaki's miracle goal scores another for Japan.
They are peerless.
Nadeshiko Japan is heading
straight for the top of the world.
The night that Nadeshiko Japan beat Mexico,
the U-16 Championship Finals were broadcast live via satellite.
The Enoshima soccer club of about 50 people
crammed into my living room to watch.
5 minutes left in the first half.
Sera one touch passes to Onimaru on the right side.
Go, Onimaru-san!
Saeki overlaps...
and the short pass from Onimaru is through.
Yusuke!
He's good. He followed right into it.
Go, Yusuke!
But Korea is chasing the ball down.
He slips past!
He tears through the Korean defense.
All right!
Yusuke used to match up against my brother
during our middle school practice matches.
He won't be stopped that easily.
Saeki's ball is taken by Korea...
No, it's Kazamaki.
He'd like to pass it to his teammates
but the defensive players are walling him off.
It's a artful loop pass to the near side to Araki.
Araki-san!
Go, Araki!
Watch out, Araki!
Goal!
He did it!
Amazing! That was amazing, Araki-san!
Araki pulls off a superhuman play.
The score is 1-1.
With a super goal
by this tournament's goal leader, Ryuichi Araki,
Japan ties up the game.
This is the moment when, against the vivid blue,
Araki's name in white is burned into the eyes of his fans.
What an amazing match, really.
Yeah. I honestly think that at the World Cup
some years from now, the same players might be playing.
A few years from now,
they might really make it into the A representatives:
Araki-san and Onimaru-san.
If my brother were still here, he would've been a sure thing, right?
Yeah.
The world, huh? Everyone's amazing.
Hey, Kakeru.
I'll be waiting.
I'll go ahead and wait for you, Kakeru.
Seven...
So let's wear that blue uniform together.
Yeah.
0-0, loss time.
My last pass goes to Kakeru in the penalty area
and Kakeru scores the goal.
That's the deciding goal
I kept believing it. My dream. Our dream!
and Kakeru and I hold up the World Cup to the sky.
I kept believing it. My dream.
Our dream!
I kept believing it. My dream. Our dream!
Where my brother was
still seems so far away,
but, someday, I'll stand there, too.
There's nothing left for me to say.
Nor do I have any intention of putting together a bad surprise attack strategy.
Your opponent is Yoin.
Tricks won't work against them.
However, there is no great difference in
ability between you all and Yoin.
The key to winning is motivation,
in other words, passion.
It all rides on who wants to win more.
Do you want to win?
Yes!
Do you think you can win?
Yes!
Then let's enjoy soccer today, as well!
The inter-high defeat is a thing of the past.
We've finally made it to this day.
It's about to begin.
Both teams' starting eleven
have made it to their positions.
The Kanagawa Championships finals: Enoshima versus Yoin.
Here we go, Kakeru.
Kick off!
