Publisher's Review
The moment you get to know me, a new path opens up.

Leo's inability to adapt to the team's rules and tactics leads to serious conflicts with the manager.
As the time passes without him even playing in a game, let alone being selected, Leo gradually loses confidence and becomes discouraged.
Leo, who was completely cowering, is introduced to a street soccer game called Cage by his teammate John, who suggests that they play together on the holiday. Through Cage's soccer game, which values ​​freedom and creativity, Leo is able to reaffirm the joy of soccer and the importance of teamwork, and regains his confidence.


Meanwhile, his team, Lewisham Knights, is facing the threat of disbandment, having suffered a series of losses due to the manager's oppressive player management, lack of new strategies, and player injuries and departures.
To save himself and his team from despair, Leo joins forces with his teammates and embarks on an epic adventure to escape last place.
