For the annual Enoshima
High cultural festival,

even we took a break from soccer

and threw all we had into a
maid cafe produced by Kota-kun.

Or that's what we had intended,

but to save the acting
club from a pinch,

Kakeru and the others hurriedly acted

as Romeo and Juliet in a play,
which turned into quite a riot.

It was a struggle since they
had no time to rehearse,

but it turned out to be popular.

I think the soccer club

was able to spend some
valuable time together.

And today, we're starting our
training camp at Kamakura University

for some final preparation
before the championships.

New Challenger

Expect no less from Kamakura.

These are top class facilities.

Are we free to use

all these facilities as
we please, Coach Iwaki?

Yes.

However, it's just for
today and tomorrow.

Iwaki-senpai.

Hasegawa-kun.

We'll be counting on you.

I'm the captain, Sawamura.

Thank you for having us.

Thank you for having us.

Not at all.

I've heard about the great
things Enoshima has been doing.

When we played before,

even though you were holding back,

it took all we had just to tie.

All our members are excited
to see how Enoshima High

has changed, at our
afternoon practice match.

Please don't hold back today.

Yes, of course.

Now then, everyone,

leave your gear at the camp

and assemble on the field.

Yes!

As you all know,

Araki-kun will be attending the

U-16 Representative Training
Camp starting next week,

and from there straight
into an overseas tour.

As you can see,

I've completely brought my weight down.

You don't have to worry
about me getting kicked out.

You say that,

but isn't it about time for your rebound?

Here.

Don't tempt me like that!

I guess you're still one step
away from your best condition.

Let's confirm that we're a team

that has practiced to be completely able

Kamakura
Enoshima

to fight without Araki-kun at
this afternoon's practice match.

Yes!

With nice facilities like these,

they're more into practice than usual.

It's not just that, Coach Kondo.

Araki is going on tour.

Yes. If the U-16 team

makes it to the Asia tournament,

Araki-kun's return will

be delayed until the semifinals.

Everyone's desperate to fill that hole.

It looks like they'll be making

great progress in the face of adversity.

It'd be a shame

not to use this equipment,
since we came all the way here.

We don't get this opportunity often.

It's nice to have equipment
that you can use with ease.

It makes you want to use it, doesn't it?

I didn't have to come all this way to do this.

I have all this stuff at home.

Whatever~

K-Kaoru, is your family...

Everyone, it's time for lunch.

I'm spent!

Let's call it off, Araki.

You're giving up already?

If you push too hard,
you'll hurt yourself.

Stay out of my business.

First Half Second Half

Kamakura
Enoshima

It's our first practice
match in half a year,

but we look forward to
a good game, Kamakura.

Yes!

No holding back today.

Let's give it our all, from the start.

Yeah!

All the guys from
Kamakura sure are huge.

You don't have to be scared.

We've played against them before.

But they won't be holding
back, like last time.

That's what's great.

Huh?

We'll surpass this opponent
and win the championship.

You're different since you got back from

the representative training camp.

Am I?

You're more positive than before.

It's a great feeling.

I won't lose this time.

You're starting to
seem more like an ace.

You're thinner, too.

Almost like a different person.

I can get it.

Damn, they are good.

Individually, they've each improved.

Move up!

Today's volante is doing a good job.

Here we go, Takase.

Yes!

Amazing.

They blocked our huge Takase-kun,

with just one defender.

It doesn't look like they'll
let us get a goal easily.

Unlike before, everyone
knows what their job is.

Their teamwork has improved,
as has their speed.

I'd expect nothing less, Iwaki-senpai.

I won't lose!

What choice do I have?

Now, what'll you do?

Here we go.

As I expected.

No surprise, from the
intercollegiate high scoring king.

I'll take that!

We did it!

Nice, Araki-san.

You've really changed.
I hardly recognize you.

Thanks.

Now, it's a little early,
but, Kakeru-kun,

substitute for Araki-kun.

Yes!

I'm leaving the rest to you.

Yes, I'll do my best.

Good work, Araki-kun.

Not at all.

I'm hardly tired. That didn't
even amount to a warm up.

In just half a year,

your cardio-pulmonary function
has really improved.

If you want me to,
I can still keep running.

Leave it to everyone else today.

No way, no way, no way, no way!

It's that move!

Kakeru.

The Phi Trick failed.

What kind of striker is he
if he's not going to shoot?

That was some particularly
impressive pass work,

so I really hoped Kakeru-kun would score.

Against someone of Hasegawa-san's level,

the Phi Trick doesn't work anymore?

You've gotten stronger,
Enoshima Soccer Club.

I can't use the Phi Trick here.

Takase-kun!

Okay.

Kakeru!

Finish with a goal!

Against Kamakura, we were able to

Kamakura
Enoshima

hold on to our one goal lead,

but without Araki-san, we
wouldn't have had that first goal.

The Enoshima Soccer Club
has undoubtedly improved,

but as for me, the Phi Trick's weakness

is becoming more and more apparent.

What did you think of our team?

It's like a completely different team.

I didn't think we'd
be beaten this badly.

Hasegawa-san, if you
have any advice for us,

we'd love to hear it.

Not particularly.

As a team, you're pretty solid.

You'll continue to improve as
you participate in real matches.

Yes.

You weren't here at the last match.

I forgot to introduce myself.

I'm the co-captain, Ryoma Oda.

It's not advice,

but if I were to say one more thing,

your changeover was fast and
you organized the team well.

Thank you very much.

That was nice of him.

Thanks for the game.

Just now, the second tournament
schedule was announced.

We're up against tough opponents
right from the start,

but with your strength, we should win

and move forward.

The problem lies here.

Tsurumaki West Shonan Sagamigaura Ohwadai

If we continue to win,

we'll have to play against

one of these four teams for the top four position

in the quarter finals.

No matter how strong we are,

aren't we getting a little
ahead of ourselves?

Don't count your Arakis before they hatch.

What'd you say?

Stop your idiotic fighting.

We've practiced all this time
to make it to Nationals.

It's never too early to
discuss the top four.

Oda-kun is right.

Before we concentrate on winning
the Nationals, I want you all

to pay close attention to this opponent.

Sagamigaura

Sagamigaura...

As I recall, at the
inter-high tournament,

they were defeated by Yoin

and didn't make it to
the Kanagawa Top Eight.

That's right. However, Sagamigaura

scored the first goal
in the first half,

and pressured Yoin
throughout the match.

I've recorded the critical
moments against Yoin.

I'd like you all to see
it for yourselves.

The match occurred a few months ago,

but let's take this
opportunity to see it.

Where did all those...

If you look carefully,
most of Sagamigaura's

players are towards the middle.

What kind of tactics are these?

Forgetting position and chasing
the ball in numbers...

He's going for a volley shot
from that side change?

Are you serious?

What's going on?

An amazing move like that
in high school soccer?

I didn't believe my eyes either.

The first goal was scored

barely five minutes into the game.

All to attack and all to defend.

They're attempting to use
what was once called

the ideal strategy for soccer.

"Total Foot," used by the Netherlands
in the seventies, right?

Isn't everyone using all to attack
and all to defend nowadays?

No, the real Total Foot
was a strategy so dynamic,

it was called an impractical theory.

Sagamigaura is trying to play soccer

so that all the players have
to think individually about

their position and role,
and how to change them.

I'm sure of it.

Well, watch a little more.

Sagamigaura appears
to be full of holes,

with players concentrated in the middle.

Most of the defenders are

above where the volante would be.

So attempting a through
pass to one of the

open areas would be an offsides trap.

Three defenders again?

It's "ball hunting."

Like a pack of wolves
closing in on prey,

they come after the player

and take the ball with sheer numbers.

Then they all transition into
offense and move into attack.

The key players are these two.

Number 14, Tsuguhide Tendo-kun

and the ace number 10,
his brother, Kazuhide-kun.

Twins?

They passed again instead
of heading up the sides?

That's the critical point.

That's right.

Sagamigaura does almost no dribbling.

Before the opponent attacks,

they quickly pass the ball,
so it's difficult to steal.

Then, following "ball hunting,"
it's "goal hunting."

All the players wait for a
chance to attack the goal.

Amazing. I thought they
didn't stand a chance.

If it wasn't for Asuka-san just now,

it would probably have been a goal.

To think that another

high school in Kanagawa was
using tactics like these...

Yoin
Sagamigaura

Sagamigaura was undoubtedly

pressuring Yoin in the first half.

How did guys like that remain
unknown for so long?

Particularly, those Tendo brothers.

To have those tactics
and kicking ability,

yet I didn't even know their name.

In order to put their skills to work,

they need a particular team composition.

Indeed.

Famous high school players are

almost exclusively players with
speed and dribbling skills.

Who, me?

Don't say it yourself!

Another way to look at it is,

including dribbling, those two might
not have terribly good footwork.

Could the fast and accurate passing

be a means of hiding that weakness?

You've noticed something useful.

We'll continue the match
in the second half.

I'd like you to pay particular
attention to Yoin's movements.

I see, so that's how it was.

If Sagamigaura won't
attack with a dribble,

then Yoin has no need
to attack the ball.

But if they know they
aren't coming to get it,

won't Sagamigaura go for a dribble?

Normally, that would be true.

They aren't used to
passing from a dribble.

Passing in response to
an attacking player

and passing on your own are
fundamentally different.

Passing in a pressured
situation is hard

on the receiver, as well.

By avoiding going after the ball,

the defending Yoin is able

to read the pass routes of Sagamigaura.

Well spotted, Araki-kun, Mishima-san.

Any representative would've noticed it.

Even if they steal it,

won't Sagamigaura come
after the ball again?

More ball hunting.

What an accurate long pass!

That's Onimaru-san all right.

A-Amazing.

Looks like Sagamigaura's
Total Foot isn't complete enough

to defend against long side changes.

The rhythm of the game completely
changes from this point.

That's the Yoin we know.

It's right after they
made that side change.

Sagamigaura is anticipating
Onimaru-san's opposite side change

and can't move.

They've completely removed the
fangs from the ball hunting.

They must be exhausted, as well.

This strategy's largest weakness is that

their stamina doesn't last until the end

due to continuous position changing.

What's left to see?

I'd like you to see just this final bit.

They were crushed, but they're laughing?

I'd like you to think about
what these smiles mean.

That's right.
They weren't depressed at all.

Given that they were defeated in

last year's tournament preliminaries,

and in this year’s new recruit match,

it may be that they've
only just started

to implement the Total Foot strategy.

I see.

This game might only have
been their first trial match.

Which means, the real
contest is the tournament.

I'm sure you're right.

The Tendo brothers...

If they've managed to complete their

new Total Foot strategy with these two

as the key players, this may be a
high school soccer revolution.

They're at the eye of the
Kanagawa tournament storm.

They push forward with their new
strategy without hesitation

and the victorious Yoin is
a strong opponent, as well.

We didn't give a single goal to
Kamakura today, either, you know.

What's to be scared of?

That's the spirit.

After going through countless
matches and winning,

you have all become plenty strong.

Listen up! You will win!

Yes!

Give me a break.

You mustn't, Araki-san. Your weight...

I can understand your
desire to make me rebound

and stay on the team,

but the world is waiting for me.

What are you looking at?

Araki-san.

Now then, everyone,

let's do our best and look forward

to victory in the tournament!

Yes!

Everyone is far too quiet.

Did we shake their confidence
too much, Iwaki-kun?

No need to worry, Coach Kondo.

Everyone has plenty of spirit.

We will win.

No matter how strong the opponent,

we've trained this much to win.

What are you grumbling
about, Nakatsuka?

I keep thinking about everything
and I can't sleep.

What are you doing, Kakeru-kun?

I can't sleep, so I thought
I'd move around a bit.

Me, too!

Maybe I'll go, too.

It's pretty cold out here.

I guess it's already that season.

What are you all doing?

Are you all out here to practice, too?

So the first years are here, too.

Who would've thought we'd
all be here to practice?

It might not be a good idea to
all go into the practice grounds

at this time of night.

We always have there, don't we?

Damn, it's cold.

So let's warm ourselves up!

Mako-san!

You're not going anywhere!

It's already been half a year

since the new Enoshima
Soccer Club was formed, hasn't it?

We've already come this
far without noticing.

Let's keep playing our own
soccer, without regrets.

Hurry, got to make a wish! Make a wish!

The championships.

I'll do my job as a striker and
make sure we win, Brother.
