Captain Tsubasa - Road to Dream (part 4)

Road to 2002

While Tsubasa moves from São Paulo (Brancos in the anime) to FC Barcelona[4](FC Catalunya in the anime) , Kojiro Hyuga is bought by Juventus (F.C. Piemonte in the anime). Tsubasa plays very well in training, displaying all his skills, but the Dutch coach Van Saal (Edward in the anime, inspired by Van Gaal) demotes him to FC Barcelona B,[4] the reserve team that plays in the second division, because Tsubasa and Rivaul (inspired by Rivaldo) cannot play together.[3]
Meanwhile, Kojiro Hyuga plays for his first game for F.C. Juventus (F.C. Piemonte in the anime) against Parma in the Italian Serie A, but does not score because of his physical imbalance. Juventus coach Carlo Monetti replaces him with David Trezeguet (David Tresaga in the anime), who scores the winning goal as Juventus beat Parma 1-0.
In Germany, Genzo Wakabayashi and his Bundesliga team, Hamburger SV (Grunwald / Gurenbald in the anime version), play against Bayern Munich (Routburg in the anime version), led by Karl Heinz Schneider. Wakabayashi makes several saves but he makes two mistakes, allowing Bayern to win 2-1.
In Spain the liga championship begins and the match between Barcelona (led by Rivaul) and Valencia (San Jose in the anime) (who have just bought Tsubasa's old rival Carlos Santana) ends 2-2. Tsubasa watches the match from the tribune (in the anime version Tsubasa plays as a substitute the match and scores a goal).
In the 2nd stage of the Japanese J. League, Júbilo Iwata, led by Misaki, Gon Nakayama (inspired to real player Masashi Nakayama), Ishizaki and Urabe, defeats the Urawa Red Diamonds led by Igawa and Sawada 2-1. In others J. League matches, F.C. Tokyo led by Misugi draws 1-1 with Consadole Sapporo led by Matsuyama.[5] In Italy Hyuga and Aoi are bought respectively by Reggiana (Reggina) and Albese.
In Spain, Tsubasa plays three matches with FC Barcelona B and he records 12 goals and 11 assists in three matches. Tsubasa is inserted in the Barcelona lineup because of an injury to his rival Rivaul and the disastrous results of the Barça (one point in four matches), and plays the Súper Clásico against Real Madrid, who have just bought his old rival Natureza. Tsubasa ends the match with three goals and three assists and Barcelona wins 6-5.
