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 takes on blue lightning Italy,
kämpft allein gegen den blauen Blitz,
die italienischen Junioren, …
deja atrás al equipo azzurri
que carga con la tradición europea.
deja atrás al equipo azzurri
que carga con la tradición europea.
fait face aux foudroyants Azzuri,
héritiers d’une longue et riche histoire.
ha affrontato il lampo azzurro italiano,
Ele vai pra cima da Azurra,
против Синей молнии, команды Италии,
наследницы европейских традиций!
