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.
He faked a pass
and just dribbled his way through.
Er hat den Pass angetäuscht
und dribbelt sofort weiter.
Fingió enviar un pase
y siguió corriendo con el balón.
Ha fingido pasar
solo para seguir corriendo con el balón.
Fintou o passe e
driblou a defesa.
Это был обманный манёвр,
он продолжает вести мяч!
