Tokyo Metropolis League has opened. Ashito and others have their first official match against Seikyo High, but the mood of the team has been awful since the fight on the day of the entrance ceremony. The Esperion Youth B team struggles to coordinate, despite being chosen as a starter, Ashito hasn't found the answer to Date's assignment. Frustrated, Taira suggests that the first-year players switched out.
I don't feel I can go and score three goals
 with these promoted players.
لا أظنّ أنّني أستطيع الدّخول وتسجيل ثلاثة 
.أهداف مع هؤلاء اللّاعبين الّذين تمّ ترقيتهم
Ich bezweifle, dass ich mit den Leuten,
die hochgekommen sind, gewinnen kann.
Dudo que pueda anotar tres goles
con estos mocosos.
Dudo que pueda meter tres goles
con estos críos.
La remontada,
je la sens pas trop avec ces promus.
Non sono sicuro di riuscire a segnare 
tre gol insieme a questi bei raccomandati.
Eu acho que não consigo marcar nenhum 
gol junto com esses promovidos aí.
Я и представить себе не могу, как отыграю
с детишками из юниорки три мяча!
