The captain of the team hold their flag as the players follow him.
Max: "The Viking is still new in the world of FFI but that doesn't mean they should be underrestimated! The next team is known as one of the first timers in FFI, New Zealand's New Warriors. They aren't known much in this tournament."

Max: "Continuing out to the field is Italy's Orpheus. This team is one of the favorites to win in this year's tournament due their high ranking."
They continue to walk until near the field.
Keita: "Orpheus is one of the strongest team ever to compete in FFI, so there's no way they'll losing so early! The next one is the runner-up of the Asia prelims and also one of the best 8 in last year's tournament, Malaysia's Malaya Beast!"
They walking toward the field while Zainal hold the flag while controlling himself from getting too nervous.
Max: "Malaya Beast is also one of the favorite to win, so they'll going to be a tough opponent in this tournament!"

He is the ace striker of the team, and also known as the King Striker! With he's leading the team, Inazuma Japan always make a turnabout win at the absolute pinch!"
(Screen)
"Endou-kun, how does it feels be called as the King Striker?"
Kaminari: I don't really care that much.
"So how about when you're known as the top scorer in the team?"
Kaminari: It's obvious. It feels great, but it'll teamwork of the team. Also, I only recognized those who have skills.
"I see that you have high expectation."
(Field)

Keita: "This time, is the current ranking number two in the world league, Russia's Spark Master! The captain of this team is also a girl, Irene Bernard. If she's the center of the team, the one that keep scoring points for the team is her brother! The genius striker, Fros Bernard!"
It shows they walk out from the hallway to the field.
(Screen)
"Fros-kun, you're known as the genius striker for the team. How do you feel when your sister become the captain?"
Fros: I do feel a bit of frustrated that I'm not being the captain, but I don't mind. I don't have that good leadership, so it make sense if she become the captain.
(Field)
Max: "The teams keep going and going! This time it's the winner of FFI two years in a row, Brazil's Olé de Fiesta!"

Max: "And here's the points that the teams must obtain."
Keita: "A win have three point, a draw have one point and a lose have zero point. The two teams from the group league with the highest points will advance the finals, so make sure you give it your all!"
(A/N: Some hissatsu techniques and tactics from Ares and Orion will be use in my story)

Tsukasa: What? Yoshi and Suiryuu changes positions?
Hakuryuu: Yes. From now on, Suiryuu will be a forward and Yoshi will be a midfielder.
Kirishima: Why, Coach? Explain to us.
Hakuryuu: Suiryuu has one of the highest kick power in this team, and Yoshi's ability in keeping the ball allow him have many control of balance.
Kariya: Also, by converting their positions, it'll help our team to stay focus in the match when the positions are reset.

Todoroki: No, you're wrong.
It makes Nami and Shinji turn to Todoroki.

Tsukasa: It's mine!
Fizz smirk as he purposely kick the ball up causing Tsukasa to jump. When get close to the ball, something shines at Tsukasa's eyes making him close his eyes when Aros and Fisher head toward him. In that instant, Tsukasa falls on the ground as he hold his right leg in pain.
Kaminari: Kishibe!
When the ball falls, Kai quickly went to it and kick it out of bound. Suiryuu and Kaminari quickly went to Tsukasa and help him get to the bench while Fizz and Aros smile with their plan success.
Aros: Target have been removed.
Fizz: Yeah, they're weaker when they don't have that fast shoot.
Jake: You guys!
It makes them turn to him.
Jake: I never agree that we'll use that methods! You guys went too far this time!
Aros: So what?
Fizz: In order to reach our goal, we'll use anything.
Then a flashback shows when Tsukasa jumped to get to the ball there's a small mirror come out from Fizz's shoe and shines at Tsukasa's eyes, blinding him in that instant.
Jake: Aren't you guys feeling asshamed using that kind method?!
Aros: Geez, you talk too much.

Jake: Let them? Captain, you're...
Fisher: Yeah...
He open a bit at his right shirt sleeve and shows a leaf like symbol.
Fisher: I'm a Seed...
Jake: Why? We all work hard together to get this far...
Fisher: You know that our teammates have to help their families, and only they can help us with that problem. In order to get what we needed, we need to sacrifice even our pride. *walk away* Forgive me, Jake.
Jake: *look down* But sacrifice our own pride is...!
