Aoi Ashito is an ace of a weak soccer team at a junior high school in Ehime. His play almost gets the team to the semi-final in his last tournament in junior high, but provoked by the opponent’s goalie, Ashito receives a red card and is removed from the game. While Ashito is running on the beach to forget the frustration, mysterious Fukuda Tatsuya, who calls himself the manager of Tokyo City Esperion Youth team, approaches Ashito.
If you tell 'em to pass you the ball, 
I'm sure they'll keep on doing it like fools.
إن أخبرتهم أن يمرّروا الكرة إليك، أنا 
.واثق أنّهم سيواصلون فعل ذلك كالحمقى
Die spielen sicher immer den Ball zu dir,
wenn du es verlangst.
Les dices que te la pasen
Les dices que te la pasen
Suffit de faire un appel de balle
pour qu’ils obéissent bêtement.
Di' loro di passarti la palla,
Eles têm cara de que vão ficar passando a 
bola pra você pra sempre, se você pedir.
Скажешь, чтоб мяч тебе отдали, —
так тут же побегут выполнять.
