Nobody making sports anime in 1992 was interested in the quiet war between a kid and his grandfather. Shun doesn't need to win a tournament to prove anything, he needs his own family to let him want what he wants. That conflict lives in every episode, patient and real, because the show knows a kid's dream isn't smaller just because nobody important is watching him chase it.
Shun Godai is a boy who loves soccer, but his grandfather has other plans for him. The old man is a successful businessman and wants his grandson to take the same road. Shun is unsure about the future laid out for him. He can aim for the top of the business world and become a high-ranking executive, or he can stay an ordinary, carefree high school student. Meanwhile his heart keeps pulling him toward soccer, and he has to decide between chasing the game and doing what his grandfather wants. The sports drama runs for 52 episodes.
