Chapter 1 - PROLOGUE — The First Drop

Football was born in England in the 19th century. Since then, countless legends have lit up the world: Pelé, Maradona, Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Zidane…

"Anyway! And you, my son, you'll be part of them, hahaha!" shouted Takeshi Amada, holding his newborn baby.

"Now, Takeshi… he's only just arrived and you're already filling his head with football. Your surgery shift is waiting, hurry up before you're late," replied Alicia, out of breath but smiling.

"Hahaha, you don't get it, darling. The very first drop of water that fell in this room landed right on his foot. It's a sign!"

Alicia sighed, rolling her eyes.

"As long as he's happy… that's all that matters. Right, my little Rikuo?"

That day, none of them knew that a simple drop of water would herald a destiny as brilliant as it was tormented.
