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.
Though looking at the state of your cleats, 
it seems like nothing's changed.
.مع أنّه بالنّظر إلى حال أربطة أحذيتك، يبدو أنّ لا شيء تغيّر

deine Schuhe so ansehe,
Al ver cómo tienes las botas,

Al ver cómo tienes las botas,
veo que la cosa sigue igual.
Mais vu tes chaussures,
ça n’a pas l’air d’avoir changé.
Anche se, vedendo lo stato in cui sono le tue scarpe, 
non mi sembra che sia cambiato molto.
Mas vendo essa chuteira, posso dizer 
que não mudou muita coisa, né?
Хотя… смотрю я на твои бутсы —
и, похоже, мало что изменилось.
