In 2017, a survey by the IBGE even proved that this is the most common dream of young Brazilians (and worldwide) and football/soccer continued, also being the greatest national passion.
Because this is a dream shared by the protagonist of the story, Aoi Ashito, the new Japanese anime once again brought a very simple identification narrative, portraying a reality that could be that of young Brazilians: the dream of being a professional football/soccer athlete, of simple origin. but highly determined and well aware of his skills on the ball.
The role of the coach in history
Reality almost intersects with the anime when the protagonist meets the character Tatsuya Fukuda who would be the coach of the J Youth League.
The path to training and the realization of the dream then begins to take place, not forgetting the obvious intrigue that would have to arise: the boy's mother does not want him to follow this path.
Episodes and fan expectations
With a very interesting debut episode, Ashito Aoi's story immediately created a legion of fans.
The presentation of the characters in the story reveals from the first moment that the plot is well created, in an engaging way and transports us to very real names of teams that make up the UEFA Champions League.
The real references throughout the Anime are one of its positive points, and the character's emotional proximity to many real boys also helps to make this series good to watch, making the anime a hit among football/soccer lovers.
