Recap of the previous episode
The latest episode primarily revolved around the France vs. England match, highlighting the standout performances of French players Elled Sid Pierre and Louis Napoleon. Their exceptional skills were on full display, yet they faced continued challenges from the formidable English team.
Pierre's struggle throughout most of the match was a result of having to carry the team on his own, especially with their key player Napoleon on the bench after arriving at the tournament late. Despite this, head coach Carbornara eventually brings Napoleon into the game when they are down 1-0, completely turning the game in favor of the French team.
Pierre and Napoleon's extraordinary football chemistry leads France to a 3-1 victory, with Pierre making three assists and Napoleon scoring three goals. This highlights the full capacity of the duo, showcasing Napoleon's ability to back up his confident attitude.
What to expect from the next episode?

Furthermore, the previews also showed the Japanese team in training, hyping themselves up for the upcoming fixture in the group stages.
Editor's P/S
As a dedicated fan of Captain Tsubasa, I am eagerly anticipating the release of Episode 13. The previous episode left us on the edge of our seats with the intense match between France and England, and I can't wait to see how the story unfolds. The introduction of Argentina's talented player, Juan Diaz, adds an exciting new element to the series, and I am curious to see how he will challenge the Japanese team.
The focus on Japan's rigorous training in the preview suggests that the upcoming episode will provide valuable insights into the team's preparations and strategies. I am particularly interested in seeing how Tsubasa and his teammates develop and improve their skills as they face increasingly formidable opponents. The series has consistently delivered high-quality animation and engaging storytelling, and I have no doubt that Episode 13 will continue this trend.
