Everyone expected him to go pro in the Japanese league, but he believes that staying in Japan would be a waste and thinks he needs to go abroad and enter the European league. Then, he meets Nanjo Ichimaru, another high schooler that eerily resembles Hinomoto's childhood favorite soccer player. Both Nanjo and Hinomoto get pulled into the SA Nishigaoka Japan league team, a weak and struggling team that has seen better days. Will these two be able to lead the team to victory?

Side notes: From all these soccer mangas today I think this is the weakest link. The story never got around more than 10 chapters which also tells the story for you. The art is good but the problem is the story itself. It just doesn't work or carry on more than it is. There is no room to grow and the story gets a bad vibe due of this... and it never gained enough fanbase to be properly finished.
