Many years have passed since that first encounter in the little soccer field in Nankatsu city, region of Shizuoka.

In the future they will take japanese soccer very far, that can be seen today...

Tsubasa: Sanae.
Sanae: Tsubasa.
Tsubasa: We're almost there, get ready.
Sanae: Ah...Ok.
Sanae: I...
Sanae: I've had a dream.
Tsubasa and Sanae have moved from Brasil to Europe.
Germany. Hamburg.
Coach: What's the matter with the forwards? Can't you score a single goal?
- Dammit...
Page 5
- ¡Ah!
Tsubasa: Nice catch, Wakabayashi!
Wakabayashi: So you're finally here.
Wakabayashi: Tsubasa.
Wakabayashi: Anego. (Note: That's how she was called by her friends when they were in primary)
Page 6
Sanae: Wakabayashi, nobody calls me that anymore...
(laughs)
Wakabayashi: I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Wakabayashi: Well, Tsubasa, how do you like the soccer atmosphere here in Hamburg?
Tsubasa: To tell the truth, Sao Paulo's sport facilities were very complete, but here are also fantastic.
Wakabayashi: It's the same in any country in Europe. Wherever you go, soccer is the number one sport in popularity.
Wakabayashi: Even in the small cities, no matter if it is quite humble, there is a soccer field.
Wakabayashi: It will still take a while before Japan acquires the level of expectation Europe has.
Tsubasa: True.
Wakabayashi: By the way, Tsubasa, have you already decided your next team?
Tsubasa: Not yet.
Wakabayashi: Well, if you'd come to mine you'll be a great help to me.
Wakabayashi: But then Anego's dream wouldn't come true: our clash in the final game in the Champions League.
Sanae: Geez! I told you not to call me Anego anymore!
Wakabayashi: And it is true. In the traditional UEFA Cup as well as in the tournament that decide which team is Europe number 1, the Champions League
Wakabayashi: were the final to be decided between two japanese players...
Wakabayashi: it would be really interesting.
Tsubasa: Yeah.
Wakabayashi: Tsubasa, it seems that while you're in doubt, Hyuga has already made his mind..
Tsubasa: Eh?

Italy. Torino.
Comentator: It's the "Wall of Steel" defense of the international italian Youth, Salvatore Gentile.

Comentator: and it's gonna be received by...
Comentator: the international from the Japanese Youth team that conwuered the World Youth.
- Stop him!
Comentator: Kojiro Hyuga!! The wild tiger!
- Uaaaa!

Hyuga: And that's not all!
- Dammit!
- Take this!
Comentator (or Hyuga): dodging a low tackle

Hyuga (or comentator): Jumping Tiger Volley!!
- Uaa!
- Yeah!

JUVENTUS and HIS NEW OFFICIAL SIGNING, KOJIRO HYUGA (Graduated in the Toho Campus)
[Juventus]
The true power he has shown in the short period from his transfer!!
Against Torino he performed a double hat-trick.
Tiger Shoot in its full splendour!
Once again, its destructive power has been proved!
Kojiro Hyuga, special incorporation in the Spring Juventus (under 19)
He's scored 11 goals in 3 games!!
Following Genzo Wakabayashi's (Hamburg) and Tsubasa Ohzora's (Sao Paulo) example, he's the third of the Golden Generation that mades his way in the world!
Wakabayashi: It's a cutting from a newspaper Mikami coach sent me yesterday by fax.
Wakabayashi: The following day there was held a press conference.
Page 9
Press Conference about the new incorporation of Kojiro Hyuga to Juventus team in the Italian Serie A.
Kaori: Now, for the end, Kojiro Hyuga himself will tell us about his intention of accepting the challenge of the italian serie A.
(Kaori Matsumoto. Former head-hunter of Toho Campus. Presently, member of a management company. Chief accionist of the Scrambled Eggs.)
- It's her, isn't it? Hyuga's efficient manager.
- Yes.
- She's the one that has triggered the Ace Striker Kojiro Hyuga's boom, started from Japan's victory in the World Youth.
- The proliferation of CM and magazines...
- It's also her doing Hyuga's having as sponsor several big famous companies.
(picture with the dog): Beauty products for men with charisma. Be impecable, like Hyuga.
Page 10
- And that's not all. Her main occupation is quite another thing,
- She's who has carried on the negociations with the Juventus for his short-term study transfer.
- And she has accelerated a great deal the process as witness for the negociations between the representatives. It's all her merit.
- Without her help, Hyuga wouldn't have ingressed in the Juventus in such a short time, that's for sure.
Hyuga: Miss Kaori, I...
Hyuga: I am very thankful to you.
(fragments of memories from when she and her collegue told Hyuga he would enter Toho if he'd win the championship in primary)
Kaori: ...
(Kaori): Hyuga.
Kaori: You don't need to thank me.
Kaori: Have confidence in yourself! You've entered Juventus with your own effort!
Kaori: Besides, your participation in the CM you hate so much and in the magazines is providing my company with great profits.
- ¿¿??
Page 11
Hyuga: My dream is becoming the number 1 striker in the world.
Hyuga: I'm going to Italy to make that dream come true.
Hyuga: "Catenaccio". As this word says, the italian defense is considered the best in the world. (Catenaccio = lock)
Hyuga: The italian serie A is proud of having the hardest defense in the world.
Hyuga: And to break that defense, to forece that "lock", no!, to smash it!!
Hyuga: is why I am going to Juventus.
Hyuga: My goal is to be in the A serie
Hyuga: the high-scoring!
- OOooooh!
Page 12
Tsubasa: I see, Hyuga'll be in the A serie of Juventus.
Tsubasa: And his goal is to be the high-scoring there.
Wakabayashi: And that's not all about it.
(Wakabayashi): Misaki is on rehabilitation at the sport medicine investigation center of Fuji and has declared that, as soon as his leg is fully recovered, he will make his apparition in the French League.
(Misaki): I will follow Kojiro's example!
(Note: Misaki is the only character in the series beside his family that calls him by his name )
(Wakabayashi): An the others, those who entered the J-League, surely have the hope of going abroad sooner or later.
Page 13
We, the Golden Generation, cannot conform in a country as little and limited as Japan.
Going abroad is the challenge to the world. And that's precisely the
ROAD TO 2002.
We are together in the big progress of Japan in the World Cup of Japan and Korea in 2002!!
