Miss Hiroko Uchiumi, cordinator. Hyuga's interpreter when he was a trainee, before signing the official contract.

Hyuga: Miss Uchiumi, I'll be needing your services again, I'm afraid.

Uchiumi: Sure, it will be a pleasure.

Hyuga: How's your pet rabbit?

- Today you'll have a complete medical check, but first go to the locker room.

- As a trainee you used the Primavera locker room, but now you'll use the grand one, that of the top team.

Hyuga: Ok.

- Go, quick.

- O..ok.

- In the regular group there will be Rivaul, of course, Fonseca, right back from his lession, and Aumiya.

- ...these will be the regulars.

González: ...

- ...what about González?

Tsubasa: González.

González: Every year is the same. Here starts always the fight for titularity in Barcelona.

González: If you want to play in the real games you have to show what you're made of in this one.

Tsubasa: All right!

Van Saal: Tsubasa!!

Van Saal: You'll play in the reserve's group

Van Saal: in the top back position.

González: Nice cut, Tsubasa!

- Ah!

- Well moved, Tsubasa!

- This is the result of all the personal training he's been doing!

(González): Don't let your guard down, Tsubasa. You can never know when you're falling to the reserve team. This read-white fight

(González): is a real test!!

Tsubasa: !!

Pinto: Uaaa! Right after reaching the ground he's been caught into Fonseca's "Snake mark".

(Fonseca): Now that I am back from my injury I'll get back my regular position in this red-white fight!!

Fonseca: Wha.

- OOOH! He's repelled Foseca's "Snake Mark" just with the force of the upper body!

(All): !!

(Aumiya): In that occasion too, Tsubasa was able to keep a perfect balance when subjected to a tight pression...

(González): But now...he is even able to repel the pression and make it rebound on that who exerts it. And he's achieved the necessary muscular strength in such a short period of time by means of that personal training of his...

(Fonseca): Tsubasa's come for a second strike on Europe!!

Mazzantini: What's this!! Terrible!!

Mazzantini: How can my team have signed with this player!?

Mazzantini: How can this be the strength of a soccer player...?

Hyuga: Uchiumi, what 's he saying...

Uchiumi:...

Mazzantini:...

Uchiumi:...

Hyuga: !

Uchiumi: He says

Uchiumi: your balance is horrible. That he can't believe that your body is that of a soccer player.
