It’s Japan versus Italy in the opening game of the tournament, and tensions are running high. Team Japan’s tempers are flared over Italy’s previous comments about how they weren’t worth their time back before the practice match that never was. Still, having been handed the position of captain from Matsuyama, Tsubasa rises to the occasion. Italy may have Tsubasa marked, but he responds with some characteristic fighting spirit.
Shooting through an opening in the wall,
it's the ground-hugging Eagle Shot.
Es ist der Adlerschuss, der über den Boden
und unter der Mauer durchgeht.
El Tiro del Águila roza el suelo
por debajo de la barrera.
El Tiro del Águila roza el suelo
por debajo de la barrera.
C’est le tir de l’Aigle.
Le ballon rasant passe sous le mur !
Passa nello spazio libero
sotto la barriera!
Mirando a brecha na barreira, é
o rasteiro Chute da Águia.
Орлиный удар пролетает
у самой земли!
