Recap of the previous episode

A pivotal moment in the latest chapter occurred when Katagiri delivered a message from Roberto to Tsubasa. The message instructed Tsubasa to refer to a specific page in the book of coaching tips that Roberto had given to him. This was all in preparation for the second half of the story, with the intention of guiding the protagonist towards success.

This proved to be a crucial moment as Japan went on to score the second goal of the match, proving their ability to compete with this European powerhouse.

The Japanese team, led by Hyuga, demonstrated their ability to score against Deuter Muller multiple times, causing frustration for Karl-Heinz Schneider, the star player of Germany. Tsubasa also took advantage of this opportunity to showcase his individual skills in the episode.

One noticeable moment for many readers of the manga was the omission of one of Genzo Wakabayashi’s saves from the original source material in this adaptation.

The save he made using his iconic hat was both adored by many fans and controversial because it was something highly unlikely to happen during a football match.

Additionally, it is important to note that Tsubasa and his friends are sure to play a significant role in the upcoming minutes of the match. This is especially evident since they have already managed to score against the Germans.
