Tai reads the rules of Cartoon League 2016-2017 Season. "Let's see... This is the general game rules."
1. The zonal matches are played in full system of home and away. 2. The points for the match result is 3 points for winning and no points for losing. 3. For a drawn match, the winner must be decided straightly from a penalty shoot-out.
4. Although the win acquired from penalty shoot-out, but the amount of points taken remained the same.
5. Only the best two teams from each zone will pass to the international tournament.
"Hmm... Could it be that the duo monsters again that would pass to the international tournament?"
"Hey, Tai! Hurry up to the practice field!" said the new coach taken from an Indian club, Roberto Carlos! Wow!
"I still can't believe that we can employ a wonderful coach such as Roberto, he could make Matt's free kick skill to be even more deadly!"
As they in the practice field, Roberto showed them the zonal matches schedule for their team.

"Well, as you can see that our first match is against the Inazuma Eleven. They have Endou or Mark Evans and Matsukaze or Arian Sherwood. It would be a hard start, thank goodness we play in Odaiba." Roberto explained.
"Yes, they're somewhat strong. We can't let our trophy being stolen by them." Matt said.
"Hey, where is your trophy last season?"
"We keep it in the house of Ishida-Takaishi. Matt and T.K.'s house. They're the ones who brought us the trophy." Davis said.
"But, if we lost before the Grand Final, we have to return the trophy earlier..." Ken reminded.
"Hey, did you guys have the duplicate?" Roberto asked again.
"Yes, we have. But there's no champions list in the back of that trophy." T.K. told.
"Okay, so you have to keep that trophy in their house! Let's start our training!"
"Go!"
*At the Raimon field*
"Hey, how many players here? Let's enter our bus! We have to depart now! " Mark said.
"Two people's missing!" Ricardo said. "Who is it? Arian should be one of them, didn't he?"
Soon, Arian and his little friend appeared.
"Where are you from? You're late!" Mark scolded Arian.
"Sorry, coach. I have to go to the bathroom earlier." Arian said.
"Great, even you forgot to pull up your trousers zipper!"
Everyone laughed! Oh, that's so embarrassing. Finally, after a little comedy show, they departed to Odaiba.
