Nanami: How's everyone doing.
Kofi: Okay.
Yuma: I want to say you all did good on your match against Dragon City Yamato couldn't make it today but he wanted me to say his proud you all made his rival shut up, and I was impressed by all of you with the match I lead, I was mostly impressed by you Kingsley you'd make a good star player, and you Gregory you show focus and dedication to the ball and your team.
Gregory: Thanks, I still can't believe I was the first one to assist the assist shogun.
Kenji: Believe it's good and done.
Yuma: And you Kenji, you really are your father's son, you weren't in the full match but I saw the same heart your father put in his matches.
Kenji: Thanks.

Nanami: Can you speak English?
Sota: I can.
Nanami: Then okay.
Hazuki: Thank you, started the camera.
They began to record.
Sota: As the manager of the team, fan wonder why you keep Kingsley Emmanuel on the beach instead of replacing him with Clement Lapinta, the French youth is good but the Nigerian tactician seems better and never fails to impress in his performance.
Nanami: Kingsley is a great player but I know what each of my boys can do.
Sota: Is it okay if we hear his thoughts.
Nanami: Of course.
They follow Nanami to Kingsley who was playing chess with Clement.
Nanami: Emma.
She hand's an article to him he reads it a bit.
Kingsley: Fans want me to replace Clement, Nah.
He throws the article away.
Kingsley: Too much stress, I enjoyed my playing time and I have no feelings to be part of the main 11, now get that camera out of face.
Sota: What are your thoughts on Ambrose from lately how are things looking for him with his injury.
Nanami: Ambrose, is an important part of the team despite his current form, for the time being his on reserved as our third striker.
Sota: A goalkeeper as a striker, is that really smart idea?
Nanami: Before Ambrose came to the team he was a striker in his previous team, and was a striker here for a while before changing roles.
Sota: We see, before we go which one of the players do you think is the best?
Nanami: Every member of the team is in portable, but I'll have to go with Kenji Takahashi.
Sota: No offense but are you just saying so because his your brother.
Nanami: That's my opinion, but feel free to ask the rest.
Rafael: Kenji.
Tobi: Kenji.
Ambrose: Kenji.
Robin: Takahashi.
Clement: Takahashi.
Kingsley: Kenji Takahashi.
Toya: Takahashi.
Fresh: I'm going with Kenji Takahashi.
Kenji: Who do I think the best player on the team is?
Sota: We wanted to know you're thoughts, because your teammates all some found of you.
Kenji: In a replacement for me or the best on the team?
Sota: Both.
Kenji: I'll have to go with Kingsley Emmanuel with Rafael Osusi as a close second, but for the best I'll go with Robin.
Sota: Why him?
Kenji: I've add my fair share of being in the middle, people are always talking about the forward but never about the people setting most of them up.

Robin was sitting on a chair.
Sota: Are you ready?
Robin: For sure.
