   Agnelli Jr., Leading Juventus, is an arrogant and somewhat endearing figure, but also possesses a charming personality; he's a decent guy. Although he initially seemed inclined to sabotage the team, he quickly rose to prominence, probably because Juventus didn't truly belong to him. His ambition for victory is also admirable. Will you be the fireworks, Louis? Will you make a struggling Juventus bloom in your hands? Even if you can't possess it forever. Perhaps, it's precisely because of this that, at least in your hands, Juventus will become great again, with a sense of "after me, I don't care what happens." And perhaps what you're trying to ignore is that you've cultivated a love for Juventus since childhood, but it wasn't yours to possess, so you preferred to ignore it until this time when you were forced to accept it, and everything has revived. I wish you can truly possess it, and I wish you both a long and lasting relationship.

   Both the main characters are great, and they're both incredibly popular. The story has a slightly edgy, almost eccentric feel, but it seems to break away from the more artistic tone later on?

    This was my gateway into the fandom. It features Rafael (10), an Argentinian of mixed Anglo-Argentine descent. Rafa is a rather proud, arrogant, and domineering character, but I personally find his personality quite endearing. Through this story, I learned about some people and events in Argentina. Compared to entering another world for the first time, I felt I touched the souls of some of the characters.
