Episode 6 – "Cracking Beira-Rio – The Giant Awakens"
Scene 1 – Flamengo Training Center, locker room
The episode begins with Flamengo's boys getting ready for practice, but the TV is on, showing a live report from Porto Alegre.
Reporter on TV:
— Live from Beira-Rio! Today is Internacional vs. Ceará, with a spotlight on center-back Carlão, known as the 'Giant of the South'!
Camila Ferreira (assistant coach):
— Carlão? That kid who looks like a skyscraper?
Miguel Nakamura (with a sketchbook full of tactics):
— 2.10 meters tall. It'll be like marking a moving building.
Matheus Blake (joking):
— Does he shower or use a power washer?
(Laughter in the locker room)

Scene 2 – Beira-Rio Stadium, pre-game
Internacional prepares in the tunnel. Carlão stands still and serious while his teammates stretch.
Background defender (looking up):
— Carlão… you aiming to head the ball to the moon today?
Carlão (calmly):
— If I need to, I'll bring the moon into the box.
Narrator:
— On one side, Carlão, the 2.10m wall. On the other, Black Anderson, the Australian captain of Ceará. A clash of titans.

Scene 3 – Ceará enters the field
Black Anderson leads the team with military-like seriousness.
Narrator:
— Black Anderson, Ceará's center-back, nicknamed "The Australian Cannon." Cold. Calculated. Steady as a tank.

Scene 4 – Start of the match
The game kicks off intensely. Ceará applies pressure, but Carlão is impenetrable. He clears crosses, tackles with precision, and commands the backline.
Comment by Miguel Nakamura (watching on TV):
— He moves like the field is small. Impressive for someone that size.
Matheus Blake (with a bag of popcorn):
— And he hasn't tripped once. Guy's got cat-like balance!

Scene 5 – Ceará on the attack
A long ball forward. Ceará's striker races toward goal… but Carlão appears like a living wall and intercepts.
Narrator:
— Carlão! A clean cut! As if he took the ball with his hand!
Black Anderson (to Carlão):
— You're good… but not unbeatable.
Carlão (with a slight smile):
— Try again.

Scene 6 – Set piece for Internacional
Corner kick. Carlão leaps like a rocket and…
GOAL!
A brutal header into the top corner.

Scene 7 – Ceará responds
Black Anderson moves upfield, fires a long-range shot. The ball crashes off the post. Carlão watches closely, not blinking.
Carlão (thinking):
— That guy's shot sounds like thunder…

Scene 8 – End of the match
Final score: Internacional 1 – 0 Ceará.
The players shake hands. Carlão and Black stare each other down.
Black Anderson:
— It'll be good to face you again.
Carlão (serious):
— I'll be waiting.

Final Scene – Flamengo Training Center
The players watch the post-game coverage.
Nicolas Agustin:
— Their defense is solid. But with the right passes, even walls fall.
Miguel Nakamura (calmly):
— He's strong. But no one is invincible.
They all look at the calendar, where it reads:
"Next match: Flamengo vs. Remo"
Tense music rises.

Post-credits scene:
Quick cut to Hajime Sakamoto at Santos' training ground. He kicks a cone so precisely that it hits another cone 10 meters away.
Hajime (serious):
— The field is my chessboard.
