Perhaps from seeing it so many times this year it seems that it appears everywhere, but the truth is that they are carbon copies. The author was not Angel Di Mariasino Gaku Nawata, a young talent from Kamimura Gakuen High School. On the last day of 2023, he scored a great goal against social networks reminded the little gem with which “Fideo” He inflated the net against Hugo Lloris in the final of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
The discovery in It was in the match that faced the school of Kagoshima vs Matsumoto International, as part of the 102nd All Japan High School Soccer Tournament, an annual competition that brings together high school-age players. The type of tournaments in which, in the fiction that became popular in Argentina, Oliver Atom and his teammates in Supercampeones played.
The concrete thing is that it is the largest and oldest amateur sports tournament in Japan, which brings together some 48 teams. This December 31, the second round was played, with several games simultaneously. One of them was the 2-0 victory for Kamikura Gakuen.
At 8 minutes into the first half the collective play took place. Although there were some small differences at the beginning, the succession of passes on the right side of the field made them agree to the touching between Messi, Julián Álvarez and Mac Allister which led to Di María’s 2-0.
The one who dressed as Angelito on this occasion was Gaku Nawata, who closed the collective play. A few minutes later, at 24 minutes into the first half, Kota Arima would score the second goal.
Nawata already had a stint in the Japan U-17 during the World Cup of the category in Indonesia. Although he did not enter the 3-1 defeat against Diablito Claudio Echeverri’s Argentina, Nawata started in the round of 16 and scored a goal against Spain, in what was finally a 2-1 defeat and elimination of the Japanese.
Almost without respite, Kamimura Gakuen will play again on Tuesday, January 2 against Kobe Koryo Gakuen in the round of 16 of an almost lightning tournament. Next January 8 will be the final.
