⚽ The 90th Minute

Episode 4 – “Egos, Goals & the League Table”

🎥 Opening Scene:

Sunshine pours over a pristine training complex.

We cut to Azul Grana FC, a polished, dominant team sitting near the top of the League Table—they are this universe’s version of Barcelona.

👤 Meet: Lucas Da Silva

Nationality: Brazilian 🇧🇷

Position: CAM / False 9

Style: Flair, creativity, insane footwork, no-look passes, pure samba.

Lucas juggles the ball without looking, taunts defenders, and rainbow-flicks into a volley off the crossbar just for fun.

He turns to his teammate, Niko (a confident Spanish defender).

Lucas: “Yo… you think those Golden Hawk boys gonna make it to our level? Champions League?”

Niko: (laughs) “Stop capping, bro. They just started. They’re still crawling.”

📊 Cut to: Akira’s Office

Akira, arms folded, stares at the League Table on a digital board.

Golden Hawks: 8th place

Only Top 4 qualify for the regional UCL playoffs.

Akira (calm, serious): “This isn’t enough. We’re too low. We need to be first.”

He gathers the team.

📣 Akira’s Pre-Match Speech:

“Winning is not a moment. It’s a habit. If we want to face Azul Grana one day… we rise now.”

The Hawks nod.

⚔️ MATCH DAY:

Golden Hawks vs. Thunderbolt United

Thunderbolt is a gritty, physical team with a long-ball system and nasty tackles.

Commentator 1: “Can Haruto keep his cool… or will ego get in the way?”

Commentator 2: “I heard he’s cooking something today…”

🧑‍⚖️ Referee: Mr. Kurosawa

Captain Jiro wins the toss again.

He gives Haruto the nod.

Jiro: “Lead the line. Be smart.”

Haruto (smirks): “Smart? Nah… I’ll just be legendary.”

🕒 FULL MATCH HIGHLIGHTS:

⚽ 10’ – Haruto Goal 1 (Zlatan Style Bicycle)

Ichiro sends a high looping ball from midfield.

Haruto positions, jumps backwards—BICYCLE KICK GOAL into the top left.

Commentator: “OH MY WORD!! That’s not a goal… that’s a piece of ART!!”

Haruto stands like a gladiator—arms out, calm face.

“I don’t score goals. I create monuments.”

⚽ 29’ – Haruto Goal 2 (Zlatan-Style Volley at Tight Angle)

Genji sends a whipped cross from the left.

Haruto traps it mid-air at a zero-degree angle, smashes a volley into the roof of the net.

Thunderbolt GK just stares.

Kashikoi: “Bro… how did he even—”

Goro: “He’s crazy.”

Haruto points at his own name on the jersey. “Remember it.”

⚽ 57’ – Haruto Goal 3 (Chest control, spin, overhead flick finish)

Kashikoi lofts a high pass.

Haruto chests it, lets it bounce, spins, and flicks it with his heel over the defender's head.

He then volleys it into the net without the ball touching the ground again.

Haruto yells: “This is MY world! Zlatan? He’s my student.”

Golden Hawks 3 : 0 Thunderbolt United

Fans go wild. Social media explodes with Haruto clips.

Hashtag trends: #ZlatanReincarnated, #HarutoShow

🎉 Celebration Scene in Locker Room:

Players cheer.

Goro throws water.

Kashikoi claps, “That was ridiculous.”

But Jiro pulls Haruto aside.

Jiro: “You’re a beast. But if you let that ego grow… it’ll crush the team.”

Haruto just smirks, walks away silently.

📈 End Scene:

Akira looks at the updated League Table.

Golden Hawks now in 5th.

“One more win… then we face Azul Grana.”

Cue intense music.
