Captain Tsubasa: Rise Of New Champions

Italian Junior Youth

A team that is said to have the best defence in this championship, symbolised by goalkeeper Hernandez.
This team aims to stand on top of the world by enhancing the long-established 'counterattack football', adding new members to support the offence, which tended to be insufficient.

Leonardo Rusciano

A forward for the Italian Junior Youth team.
His personality is a bit problematic, but he has great offensive talent. He can counterattack single-handedly.

Gino Hernandez

A goalkeeper and the captain of the Italian Junior Youth team. He is a 'Perfect Keeper' who let in no goals for an entire year by blocking opponent shots with his 'Golden Right Hand'.
