Days (TV)

Crap! Crap! Crap! Crap!

Good job, Kurusu!

Give it here!

Here he is!

We've got a great crop of first-years this year.

To the byline!

He's gonna center it!

Number 8!

Watch him!

Yes!

You, too.

What? He passed backwards!

Oh no!

Go!

Tsukamoto!

So close.

It cannoned off the crossbar.

Yet again, their Number 17 can't seal the deal.

Y-You...

I-I'm sorry.

Press Forward

You were supposed to put that one away!

Stop fooling around! Get back and defend!

A long pass forward by the goalie!

It's for Maruoka.

Usui's all over him!

This is payback.

What a shot!

I can't believe the goalie kept that out!

So close!

What a fast counterattack!

Those two went for it all by themselves!

Together, Kai and Maruoka are a force to be reckoned with!

Wow.

Right Now, I'm Seiseki's Captain

Keiou's strong.

It's going to get tough, playing with a man down.

Is Seiseki really going to lose to a newbie school like Keiou, though?

I don't know.

"Newbie," huh?

It's true...

Compared to a prestigious school like Seiseki, we've got nothing.

They've centered it from a short corner!

It's for Maruoka at the near post!

We have no tradition behind us, no renowned past players,

and no pressure of the kind that's weighing on each player on your team.

Even if we lose, we lose nothing.

Kai!

But you guys also don't know the difficulty, nor the joy of starting from scratch.

Yeah, it was just the two of us at the start.

In the school quad, in our school uniforms...

With a tattered ball.

And now, we've come all this way...

You should be within shooting range now.

Let rip!

H-He saved it!

I'm sure you guys have your own reasons for not wanting to lose,

but as long as I'm between the sticks, you won't be scoring against Seiseki!

Seiseki's goalie is amazing!

How many top-drawer saves is that now?!

Inohara-senpai!

Seiseki

Keiougawara

The first half is over.

It's 1-0.

Keiou's desperate attacks haven't succeeded, have they?

Seiseki have protected their lead!

The momentum's with Keiou for the second half. They'll be relentless!

Seiseki's defense was watertight.

Keiou was hoping to level it before halftime.

I wonder what Maruoka and Kai will do in the second half.

Everyone...

Let's talk about the first half.

The goal we conceded from that free kick was a blip.

Yes, they might be one goal ahead, but they're down a player.

They're getting exhausted.

Do it properly! Don't waste all our magic spray.

See? Just look at you.

Your crotch hurts now, doesn't it?

You made it too cold, moron.

Ignoring my crotch for now... We make our stand in the second half.

Isn't that right, Kai?

Y-Yeah...

I don't think we played all that badly in the first half.

If we keep it up after the restart, we'll get our chance.

"The two of us will score the goals."

Changing Room

Remember that, Maru? Kai?

That's what you guys told us when we all started out.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yamai! Yoshi!

Don't scare me like that.

For a second, I thought my two center-backs were despairing—

Hey!

For your sake, I hope you actually score in the second half!

We will. No doubt about it.

The two of us will definitely score the goals we need.

Fine.

All right! Let's go turn this around!

Yeah!

Do you think they're all right?

Oh, sure. Yoshida and Yamada are veterans.

They were the first to be recruited for the team,

and they love this team more than anyone.

It'll be fine. We just need to score.

What's this?

Seiseki's not changing their formation for the second half?!

What?

Are you serious?

What the heck are they thinking?

They want to battle on with only three defenders?

It's a bold move, though.

I guess they'll show us what they're thinking!

Keiou!

Seiseki!

This is going to be an interesting second half!

We're going for it from the whistle.

Gotcha.

What?

A back-heel?

Usui's amazing!

Maru!

I'm the decoy!

I'm burying this one!

Impossible!

What's with this guy?!

Here comes the counterattack!

Tsukamoto actually controlled it!

This is a rare chance.

I have to get this!

He cleared it!

That's a corner!

Nice.

Yeah!

Nice tackle!

Nice clearance!

Maru! Kai! What are you doing?

Don't come back here!

But they got it because of my missed shot...

Forwards can only make mistakes if they attack!

You guys coming back here and defending makes us look bad.

We'll send the ball your way!

Wait...

If you can't trust your teammates, get off the field!

That's not what I mean!

Are they fighting?

That's not it.

The ideal in soccer is that everyone plays offense and everyone plays defense.

Now's not the time to talk about ideals.

This isn't the clubroom.

Let's express our arguments with our play.

Don't give them any space!

Push your man further out!

Don't let the player you're marking get away!

We have the numerical advantage!

Focus on Number 8! He's going to jump for it again.

Don't let him go!

Stick with him!

It's up in the air!

It's close...

In the very beginning, it was my stubbornness that started it all.

We're starting a soccer team!

You guys should join.

Soccer?

We're not that good.

Our middle schools were pretty weak.

It's fine.

The two of us will score the goals.

We'll be your support!

Right, Kai?

Huh? Yeah.

That was arrogant.

I've been the one relying on their support all this time.

Don't fall back!

Hit them hard!

Keiou! Keiou! Keiou!

Come.

Come.

Come.

Go!

A desperate clearance!

Kai!

It's not a clearance! It's a long pass!

We don't have anything to lose, even if we lose?

That's not true.

We have something right here.

What?

Usui!

Even without Seiseki's history, these last eighteen months...

have been anything but easy!

He did it!

Keiou tied the game!

Goal!

You did it!

You leveled it!

Maru-senpai!
