You're always winning! This isn't fun! From now on we'll play without you!
.........
... You want something?
... I was just wondering how someone could handle the ball so well... You're a
regular in the youth team right? I'm still in the section under yours...
... Do you want me... To train you?
A... Are you serious? You'd be willing to teach me your tricks?
Well, soccer is a team sport... Training with more people... Is more fun than training alone, right?
Well then, I'll happily join you!!
THIS IS... A CRUSHING DEFEAT FOR VASCO DA GAMA YOUTH! FLAMENGO YOUTH COMPLETELY... DESTROYED THEM THANKS TO THE SUPERIORITY OF THEIR ACE AND TOP SCORER, CARLOS SANTANA! 12 GOALS TO 2!!
I knew Santana was strong... But lately... He's like a different person! So strong it's... Frightening!!
Hey, Carlos... I heard from Alberto that you've skipped trainings a lot lately... And... We
haven't played together in a while now... Is everything okay?
Well... it's just... If I'm practicing, I'll get stronger... It seems the harder I try, the more boring it
becomes... No one is a challenge to me... All the opponents are just trying to prevent the ball from coming to me... Isolating me...
If I'm doing the bare minimum... Then maybe someone can catch up... And play seriously against me...
You can't do that! It's taking all of my effort to catch up even with the other members of the brazilian golden age...
So I know I'll probably never be a threat to you. But no matter how much stronger you are, if I
were to play against you in a match... I'd prefer if you came at me seriously! With everything you got! And soon you'll become a pro... I'm sure you'll find worthy opponents there!!
A HAT TRICK! AND ALREADY TWO ASSISTS! FLAMENGO'S YOUNG ACE CARLOS SANTANA IS INCREDIBLE! AGAINST HIM... FLUMINENSE'S ACE ONLY SCORED ONCE! AND HE'S LOST EVERY CONFRONTATION AGAINST HIM!
Come on!! This isn't over yet! Show me the power of pros players!
...... Uh?
WH... WHAT IS HAPPENING!? IT LOOKS LIKE FLUMINENSE'S ACE STOPPED PLAYING!? LOOKS LIKE... HE'S GIVEN UP!? THE REST OF THE TEAM... IS AVOIDING SANTANA LIKE THE PLAGUE... AND THEY'RE PREVENTING THE OPPONENT FROM SENDING A PASS TOWARDS SANTANA!!
... So this is... What I get for playing seriously...
If no one is willing to confront me... If everyone is isolating me...
... Then what is the joy I can find in playing?
This is how it is. I was given a gift. But there is a price to pay... The gift that is making me so strong in the sport that I love... Will take away the joy of winning against a strong opponent... The sadness of losing... There will only be a void. No emotion... Only action... Like a machine.
But Santana, the world of soccer is so vast, there must be some players like you outside of Brazil?
...............
Yes... There are "super novae" in Spain... And most of all...!!
I was hoping to feel some emotions before being transferred to Spain... I'm guessing that Tsubasa... Isn't cut to be a super nova, after all.
SAO PAULO DIDN'T ENTRUST THE BALL TO TSUBASA FOR THE REMAINDER OF THIS FIRST HALF, AS HE WAS EASILY MARKED BY FLAMENGO! IT'S THE SAME FOR SANTANA, FLAMENGO DIDN'T FIND A WAY TO SEND THE BALL TO HIM AS HE WAS HEAVILY MARKED BY RADUNGA!
Hey, kiddo, what's happening, You really giving up?
Ah... Ah... It's vexing but... Using my fighting spirit so much exhausted me...
And all these clashes... Made my legs numb... I couldn't move... But I will... Never give up!!
