Shinichi Nitta     He&#039;s a close friend of Sasaki. His role in story is minor. But surprisingly, he&#039;s often the savior in the heat of the game. His ability is creating offside-trap that often helped the team in dire situations when dangerous opponent strikers are attacking. His innocent face combined with great offside timing proves true alongside Kakegawa team. Although he&#039;s good at defending, he sometimes made mistakes by soloing the dribble pushing the opponents alone. This causes more advanced opponents to easily retake the ball from him and counterattack Kakegawa.      * voiced by Yuusuke Numata     * Position: Defender     * Class: Freshmen (source wikipedia)
