As a young boy, Shinji had always been passionate about soccer. His childhood friend Saya supported his dreams by becoming his manager, even though she knew he wasn't particularly talented or experienced. After losing hope in winning a tournament due to their lack of skills and resources, Shinji became disheartened and stopped trying hard during practice sessions... That was until Saya convinced him to give it another shot. Determined to prove himself, Shinji dedicated himself to training once more; however, tensions arose between him and his teammates which led to a potential expulsion from the team. In desperation, Shinji turned to Saya for help; surprisingly enough, the coach Naito offered them an unexpected solution that would change everything.
