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.

And it won't just be a stepping stone to the

No será un peldaño

Meu time já será o nível internacional.
И речь не просто о мировом уровне…
