The game against Tokyo Musashino is the climax of the Tokyo Metropolis League for Esperion B team. Although the team has worked on countermeasures against Musashino, the air is still tense within the team and there's a clear sign of anxiety on the faces of many of them during the warmup. But right before the game starts, Takeshima disappears from the locker room with his girlfriend, Tae.
No matter how much I stayed behind 
to practice, I was still bad at it. But...
...مهما بقيت متخلفًا للتدريب، كنت سيئًا في ذلك مع ذلك. لكن
Egal, wie viel ich auch trainiere,
ich bekomm’s nie richtig hin. Aber …
Por mucho que me quedé a entrenar,
lo sigo haciendo muy mal. Pero…
Por mucho que me quedé a entrenar,
se me seguía dando fatal. Pero…
Malgré nos heures supplémentaires,
je reste une daube.
Ho fatto allenamenti extra per giorni, 
ma non è cambiato il fatto che non sono capace.
Não importa o quanto eu fique até mais tarde, 
não muda o fato que sou ruim, mas...
И это не изменилось
даже после недели доп. тренировок.
