Miraculous Ladybug Season 4 Ep 3 Gang of Secrets
The episode begins at Parc des Princes, with Kim and Marinette as the team captains, choosing their teammates from Miss Bustier’s class for a game of soccer. Kim chooses Max to help him discover the best player to help win the match. Max’s robot, Markov, points out Alya, but she was unfortunately already chosen by Marinette. Markov continues to help Kim, but Marinette says it’s cheating.
It’s clear that Kim does not care that he is thereby cheating. The most important thing for him is to win. Chloe complains that there is no point in playing since she and the others obviously know who will win. She tries to go home, but Miss Bustier stops her and says that no one will go home and no one will cheat. She specifically invited Didier Roustan to join in order to teach her class to play together and develop team spirit, after which Didier confirms this fact and says that it is important not to win or lose, but to have fun playing together, which means not only with teammates, but with everyone on the field. But Kim says he likes to play with his opponents, especially if he crushes them at the end. Didier asks Marinette and her classmates if they have any ideas on how to honestly assemble teams of equal strength. Alix suggests having boys play against girls, but Kim says that if there are boys against girls, then Kim and his team will definitely lose. Then Rose suggests the sort the teams based on the names of their teddy bears, but Nino says she is the only one with a teddy bear other than Chloe. Chloe confirms that fact. (It’s useless to refute it because all her classmates already saw a teddy bear when they were at a party in honor of Chloe’s birthday.) Marinette suggests solving the issue by drawing straws.
Outside of Parc des Princes, Marc drags Nathaniel into the arena. Nathaniel tells him that he doesn’t understand what’s so wonderful about running after the ball, and he worries that while playing soccer he may hurt his arm and he will no longer be able to draw comics. Mark responds that Nathaniel will play soccer with his feet. He also tells Nathaniel that he cannot miss class and that Miss Bustier asked Didier Roustan, a legend of sports journalism, to come here. Nathaniel asks Mark to come up with an excuse for him and tells him that this way Marc will be able to get to know Didier.
Marc comes up with an excuse for Nathaniel, and in the Parc des Princes he makes excuses to Miss Bustier why Nathaniel can’t come. Didier scratches his chin, thereby hinting that he sees potential in this guy. Miss Bustier replies to Marc that there will be a shortage of players then, and Didier asks Marc if he wants to play. Marc is not sure of himself. He says it’s not his class and he’s not that good at soccer. Didier asks Marc to pass him the ball before leaving. Marc rolls the ball to himself, begins juggling with his knees, and passes the ball to Didier Roustan. Marinette tells Marc that he just has to play.
The two teams set up in their positions. The red team with Juleka playing in goal, Alya, Rose, and Alix playing in defense, Marc and Marinette as midfielders, and Sabrina in the striker position. Among the yellow team is Chloé, the goalie, who’s posing for pictures on her phone. Max, Adrien, and Mylène as their defenders, Nino and Ivan playing as midfielders, and Kim as the yellow team striker.
Didier blows his whistle. The yellow team starts the kickoff. Kim attempts to pass the ball to Nino but Sabrina immediately takes possession, begins running towards the yellow team’s goal and is about to shoot the ball into the goal. When Chloe shouts her name, Sabrina falls down and looks at Chloe. Chloe forbids Sabrina from playing soccer, which upsets Sabrina. Marinette tells Sabrina not to listen to Chloe and that she can play soccer if she likes. She helps Sabrina get off the ground, but Chloe tells Marinette that the only thing Sabrina likes is obeying her. Mylène takes possession of the ball and passes it to Ivan. Rose steals the ball from Ivan and passes it to Marc. Marc receives the pass with his chest and passes it to Marinette in the air. It flies past Kim and Nino. Kim admires what Marc has just done.
Marinette receives the pass with her knee and rolls it to the ground. She begins dribbling to the goal but freezes once she comes across Adrien, and kicks the ball to him instead. Nino runs past Adrien and tells him to pass. Adrien picks up the ball with his hands and throws it to Nino, who then frowns. Didier blew the whistle and tells Adrien that, as his friend Andrea said, soccer is played with the head and that only the goalkeeper has the right to touch the ball with his hand. Adrien apologized to Didier, saying that he does not know the rules well. Nino facepalms. Alya places the ball in the spot for a free kick. She kicks the ball over to Marinette who shoots and scores a goal. Kim was outraged that Chloe didn’t kick the ball and wasn’t going to do it at all. Chloe, still looking at her phone, declares that she will never touch this round thing, fearing that she may catch some kind of illness or, in her opinion, disability. Sabrina tells Chloe that she can replace her because she likes being a goalkeeper, after which Alya tells Sabrina that she is on another team, so that won’t happen. Nino says that if the team he is on does not have a normal goalkeeper, it is bound to lose. Chloe refuses to be on the loser team and goes home, but Miss Bustier stops her, saying she can’t go home until class is over. Chloe asks why she can’t sit on the bench where Lila is sitting now. Lila waves from the bench and pretends to wince, but Marinette, as usual, can’t be fooled. She knew perfectly well that Lila was just pretending to be injured. In order to sit on the bench, Chloe pretends to be hit in the wrist while grabbing her thigh in fake pain. Marinette asks why she’s grabbing her thigh if she injured her wrist, which infuriates Chloe. Didier asks if anyone present has any ideas on how to involve their classmates in the game while maintaining the honesty and attractiveness of the game. Marinette says that Chloe can change teams after every goal, and the team that wins will be the one that will cope best with the fact that his goalkeeper is Chloe. Chloe became furious when Marinette dared to almost call her a difficulty. Kim, Max, Ivan, and Mylene really liked this idea. Didier Roustan praised Marinette and asked if her name was Marinette, after which she replies that yes, that’s really her name. Chloe, being angry, goes to the gate. Sabrina asks Chloe why she doesn’t just call her father, because as mayor, he can just cancel this lesson. Chloe tells her that she is waiting for the help of someone else, someone more powerful, then smirks.
