Shoot! Goal to the Future Ep 7: Release Date, Speculations, Watch Online

Episode 6 of Shoot! Goal to the Future introduced us to a new character from Italy. The episode felt slow-paced and didn’t feature much action, instead focused a little on the past of Atsushi Kamiya.

The character of Andrea felt disposable since he practically came in to demonstrate the difference in thinking between a player looking for local success and one aiming for world-class performance before dipping.

Episode 6 Recap

Diving into episode 6, we see Tsuji heading for school with his football. A kid was boarding his school bus hurrying, and the door was about to trap his leg while closing.

Tsuji sees this and quickly shoots the ball, sticking it right through the gap of the bus door, giving the kid a fraction of a second more to get in. Andrea is standing behind Tsuji and sees it all and winks at him.

When Jo and Subaru listen to Tsuji about how he blocked the bus door, they think he’s making It up. In his defense, he says that he’d have made it more interesting if he were making it up.

Their teacher enters shortly after and announces that they will have a short-term transfer student. It was none other than Andrea Antonio from Giugliano in Campania, Italy.

The Principal and Coach Kamiya talked about rebuilding their soccer team and possibly producing another world-class player like Kamiya. The principal shows him a photo of Andrea and tells him he is the new transfer student. Kamiya gets flashbacks on seeing his photograph.

Tsuji, Jo, Subaru, and Andrea are In the cafeteria having lunch. Andrea has the Japanese dish, Napolitan. He thought it was from Naples because his mom always made it for him. After that, the team lines up for the practice match on the field.

As the coach comes in, Andrea goes up to him and greets him by his name. Kamiya calls him “Double-A.” The others infer that they have some previous connection. Andrea breaks the ice by telling them that he was taught by Kamiya when he was in Italy.

Namioka asks the coach if he’d like to put Andrea on the team, but he denies it by saying they will go by the teams announced the day before. The game started, and Tsuji’s team had a good buildup but couldn’t score.

As the play resumes, Tatsunami gets hurt as the other player tackling him steps on his foot. Again, Kamiya gets flashbacks. He is swapped with Andrea.

Andrea’s general style of playing was the way professionals played – rough. Japanese football is far more calm and soft than European football, because of which the Kakegawa team thought they were being attacked.

Kamiya tells him to tone it down because this wasn’t Italy but Japan. After the game, Jo and Tsuji discuss the game with others in the locker room after the game. Andrea wasn’t there.

They thought that maybe Andrea was blackmailing Kamiya or something on those lines. So they decide to go after him to know the answer. They go to the field where Andrea is practicing. But before them, Kamiya reaches there, and the two engage in a conversation.

We come to know that Andrea has an elder brother named Sergio. He also got fouled during a game and hurt so badly that he could never play again. Kamiya took this personally and retired from professional football.

Andrea tells him that Sergio is now studying hard to become a football coach and how he moved on from the incident. He tells Kamiya to move on from it in the same manner.

Then their attention goes to the three standing some distance away, and Andrea passes the ball to them. They then start playing, with Tsuji and Andrea on the same team. Tsuji shoots, and Jo tries to save it but concedes a goal.
