At Fukuda’s invitation and with the support of Shun, Ashito goes to Tokyo alone for the tryouts of Tokyo City Esperion Youth team. Thoroughly impressed with Esperion’s facility, Ashito is escorted to the tryouts by Hana Ichijo, Fukuda’s sister-in-law. Among the 86 candidates of notable achievements, Ashito has no outstanding records. Nervous as he is, Ashito is excited to be able to play soccer on the beautiful field.
he thought and thought
 and... thought about it.
.فكّر في كرة القدم مرارًا وتكرارًا
Er hat wieder und wieder nachgedacht.
Pensaba, pensaba y pensaba.
Pensaba, pensaba y pensaba.
il se triturait les méninges
tout le temps, partout…
continuava a pensarci,
ele só pensava em futebol, sem parar.
Всегда надо думать!
Думать и думать!
