Andre is an Italian forward for Saint Angelus FC's youth team, wearing number 10. He only appears in the 1983 anime.
Saint Angelus first made waves when Colosseus, the city's dominant team, tried to muscle them off the public soccer field. To prove themselves, Giovanni and Martino attempted shots, but Colosseus' keeper shut them down easily. Then Misaki—pulling a move straight out of the Kids' Dream arc playbook—delivered a perfect cross that let Andre finish with a diving header and score. It was enough to get Colosseus' keeper's attention, and he agreed to a proper match a week out.
Impressed by Misaki's control and instincts, team manager Elena asked him to coach Saint Angelus during his time in Naples. Misaki pushed them hard in training but grounded everything in Roberto's philosophy: being "Friends of the Ball." He believed in letting the game come to you rather than forcing it.
When match day arrived, both teams played evenly, but Saint Angelus gradually found their footing—especially keeper Pietro, who'd had a real fear of the ball at first. The first half ended scoreless. In the second, Saint Angelus targeted Andre, their most dangerous player. He scored after a feint that left Colosseus' keeper looking foolish—a moment that impressed Misaki, who said Andre reminded him of Tsubasa himself.
In the final minutes, with Colosseus pushing for a draw, Misaki told his team to go all-in. Pietro pushed forward and crossed into the box, and Giovanni, Martino, and Andre combined for a header goal in the last moment. Final score: 2-1. They'd earned their field.
