2. #022010-04-1125mTatsumi takes on the veteran team with his new starter candidates in a skirmish.

He meets Nagoya Grand Palace's manager Fuwa, who has history with ETU, and meets last season's 2nd, Osaka Gunners' manager Dulfer.

12. #122010-06-2025mNagoya can’t break ETU's defense line, so they put Carlos up front and attack with their strongest formation. This is exactly what Tatsumi has been waiting for.
