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.
Just like the Eagle Shot,
he stopped it with one hand.
Nach dem Adlerschuss fängt er auch
diesen Schuss mit einer Hand.
¡Primero el Tiro del Águila
y ahora este!
¡Primero el Tiro del Águila
y ahora este!
C’est la deuxième fois aujourd’hui,
après le tir de l’Aigle !
Dopo lo Eagle Shot
Assim como o Chute da Águia,
ele defendeu com uma mão só!
Сразу после Орлиного удара
он снова ловит мяч одной рукой!
