Tsubasa is an 11-year-old boy who only lives for football. While he has just moved into a new city, he surprises two rival schools that fight the municipal football field. Impressed by Wakabayashi, who claims to be Japan's best goaltender, he challenges him in a spectacular duel. Tsubasa is then noticed by Roberto, a former member of the Brazilian team, who will become his personal coach to make this young genius the greatest Japanese football player!
It's time for the annual competition between the two rival teams: Nankatsu and Shutetsu. But for Tsubasa and Wakabayashi, this match is more a duel between them than a championship event. From the first minute of the game, the goaltender expects Tsubasa to go to the attack to try to score him points. But to the general surprise, Tsubasa takes the position of libero: he plays in defense! It's a strategy developed by Roberto to destabilize the opponent... In this way, will Nankatsu manage to protect his goals against the formidable attackers of Shutetsu?
Tsubasa trains hard to be selected in the team that will participate in the national football tournament. Roberto, who sees in Tsubasa an increasingly promising young boy, asks his parents for permission to take him with him to Brazil to complete his training and raise him to the world level. When he learns the news, Tsubasa is mad with joy. But to motivate him even more, Roberto imposes a condition: he will know Brazil if he manages to win the national championship.

That's why the opening of the score by Tsubasa risks exposing the Nankatsu players to a terrible response...
For the Nankatsu team and its captain Tsubasa, the Junior National Cup had started badly, with a defeat against the Meiwa FC. However, Nankatsu won all of his other games in the pool.

Yet, Jun Misugi hides a terrible secret: he is sick of the heart and therefore cannot play an entire game... What he intends to do, however, because it is the only way to beat Tsubasa! At the same time, the Meiwa FC and his captain Kojiro Hyuga are in a grip with the strong team of Furano SC, well off to win the game...
