ROAD 8: THE 1-ON-1 TEST!!
(Tsubasa) Barça's hawk...!!! Rivaul
Page3
(Tsubasa): What a jump...and he's got such force in the arms...
Rivaul: Are you done with stretching?
Tsubasa: Y...yes.
Rivaul: Then shall we play a little?
Tsubasa: Y...yes please.
- Training is from 10.
- Until that time you are not allowed in.
- Hi, long time not see!
- Yeah.
- We come back to the field at last!
- Have you done it well in your private training?
- Of course!
- But have you seen how many reporters are out there?
- Yes, they are all Japanese.
- The reason must be the first time a Japanese plays in Barça.
- However, as long as Rivaul is in Barça the poor guy won't have a chance to be a regular.
- Certainly.

- Well, but coach Van Gaal plans to use the Turnover system.
- Oh yeah, the turnover system.
"TURNOVER SYSTEM"
It began in the eighties, in the Golden Age of Milan.
League formation - Cup formation.
This system has two teams, one for the league, another for the cup, both with sufficient strength so that the hard agenda is cleared at the same time the best players are allowed to have a rest.
- Sure, no matter if Rivaul is a genius, he won't be up to play in all the hames of the Liga (spanish League), Champions League and Copa del Rey (King's Coup in Spain)...
- Moreover, as Brazil's Captain, he can't miss the games with his national team.
- Therefore, Tsubasa is
- the player for when Rivaul rests.

(Tsubasa): I can't say it well yet but I know it.
(Tsubasa): It's something I can feel.
(Tsubasa): Just when he traps
(Tsubasa): Or performs that inside kick.
(Tsubasa): This player is formidable, I don't know to what extent!!

(News): Tsubasa, why Barça? The true situation in his entry in Barça after kicking Milan's 3000-million offer. Why, when there is Rivaul? Tsubasa's regularity. Desperate!! Rivaul plays in the same position. Tsubasa and Rivaul, is there place for both?
(Tsubasa): Some people were against.
(Tsubasa): I was told I had taken the wrong decision.
(Tsubasa): But Roberto...
Roberto: You've chosen a good team.
Roberto: You can absorb so much from Rivaul's play.
Roberto: And since your dream since you were a child is to become the best player in the world
Roberto: this is a player you can't pass over by no means.
Rivaul: What's wrong?
Tsubasa: 1-on-1.
Tsubasa: Is it Ok with you?

- Rivaul's substitute. .
- That's what I thought from the start too.
González: But he won't just sit on the fence.
- Eh?
Page 8
- Gonzalez, do you know Tsubasa?
Gonzalez: Just a bit.
Aumiya: He's the kind of player that the stronger the adversary the best he plays.
- Aumiya...?
Fonseca: Moreover, he enjoys it.
- Fonseca?
González: When I think he's just 20, what a hard time he gave us!
González: Us, I.
- Eh?
González: And Van Saal hasn't said Tsubasa will be Rivaul's subtitute. Y
- What?
- Eh...which means...
González: He can use him as a FW
González: as a left or right side MF
González: Or even winger.
- Then our position would also be in danger, wouldn't it?
González: Exactly.
Gonzálex: But the last word about his being Rivaul's substitute or their playing at the same time is just
González: coach Van Saal's.
