Cup, which prompts the Japan Football Union to start a training program to
prepare a team of high school students who will participate in the 2022 World
Cup. Isagi Yoichi, a forward, receives an invitation to join this program
shortly after his team misses a chance to participate in the Nationals, due to
passing the ball to his less skilled teammate, who obviously He missed the
shot, which showed Isagi's cowardice in not daring to finish the play by
himself.

coach will be Ego Jinpachi, who intends to put an end to the idea of “weak
