まだ　どこにも　載っけてもらえて　ないんでしょ?
You still haven’t gotten anywhere with it, right?

Page 100

Then go ahead and write about it!

Fujisawa:
載せてもらえて　ないんじゃなくて...
I don’t want to put it out…

スカウトの　笠野さんが...
捕まら　なくて...
I still can’t get hold of …
the scout, Kasano-san…

笠野さんが
椿を　見つけた時　こう言った　らしいんです
I can say it’s because Kasano-san
was the one that found Tsubaki

Fujisawa:
「椿 大介は...
達海猛の再来だ」って...
“Tsubaki Daisuke is…
Tatsumi Takeshi’s return”

Page 103

Yamai:
なんだ　そりゃ
What the hell is that?

Yamai:
全然　タイプが違う　じゃねーの
They’re completely differently types, you know

まあ　そうなんですけど...
Well, you’re right, but…

Fujisawa:
達海猛と　同じモノを　持ってる
椿が　獲得されるに　至った　その理由...
It’s because Tatsumi has the same thing that
Tsubaki was able to acquire

However

Midorikawa:
ウチに流れが　来かかったところでの
星野のあの　ファインセーブ...
It was with Hoshino’s fine save
that the momentum of the game started going against our team…

Page 106

Midorikawa:
流れを　コッチに　渡さなかった
代表正GKは　伊達じゃないか
A player that doesn’t let the momentum pass over
isn't that kind of GK ageless?
