At Fukuda’s invitation and with the support of Shun, Ashito goes to Tokyo alone for the tryouts of Tokyo City Esperion Youth team. Thoroughly impressed with Esperion’s facility, Ashito is escorted to the tryouts by Hana Ichijo, Fukuda’s sister-in-law. Among the 86 candidates of notable achievements, Ashito has no outstanding records. Nervous as he is, Ashito is excited to be able to play soccer on the beautiful field.
He was also the only one who tried to pump up
 his team when the chips were down.
كما أنّه كان الوحيد الّذي كان يحاول 
.تحفيز فريقه عندما كانوا يعانون
Und als es im Spiel nicht gut lief,
Y fue el único que alzó la voz
para animar al equipo
Y fue el único que alzó la voz
para animar al equipo
Et quand l’équipe
s’est retrouvée désavantagée,
quando la squadra bianca si trovava in svantaggio,
E ele foi o único a tentar 
animar o time durante a partida.
Опять же, когда у команды
дела шли скверно,
