Gol 1. Un gran equipo
by Luigi Garlando3, 2, 1... ¡El espectáculo acaba de empezar! Bajo las órdenes de un míster algo peculiar, el señor Gaston Champignon, ocho niños y niñas han formado un equipo de fútbol de lo más disparatado. Se llaman Cebolletas y les espera una temporada repleta de grandes emociones (¡y muchísimo sudor!). Pero, antes de empezar, los ocho cracks ya han aprendido la lección más importante: para ganar solo hace falta ¡DIVERTIRSE!
Gol 12. Los once magníficos
by Luigi GarlandoLos Cebolletas han tomado una decisión importantísima: van a pasarse al fútbol de once jugadores. Ahora tendrán que buscar nuevos compañeros para completar el equipo, adquirir confianza en un campo más grande y, por supuesto, enfrentarse a nuevos desafíos y contrincantes. Pero, esta vez, a los chicos de Champignon no les resultará tan fácil permanecer unidos...
Gol 13. Un campeonato difícil
by Luigi GarlandoEl campeonato de fútbol-11 acaba de empezar y los chicos de Gaston Champignon ya están agotados: entrenamientos más intensos, un campo mucho más grande... y ninguna perspectiva de empezar a ganar partidos. Los Cebolletas están bastante desanimados... pero el entrenador tiene todo tipo de tácticas y recursos para que el espíritu no decaiga.
Gol 14. Una aventura olímpica
by Luigi GarlandoDespués de doce interminables horas de vuelo, ¡los Cebolletas finalmente han llegado a Pekín! Tomi está ansioso por ver a Eva, Nico quiere hacer una ruta turística por toda la ciudad y Fidu sueña con comerse todos los patos a la pekinesa que se le pongan por delante. Sin embargo, deberán entrenar y mantenerse en forma porque Timothy, el amigo de Eva, ha desafiado al equipo de Champignon en el campo.
Gol 15. No te rindas Tomi
by Luigi GarlandoLos Cebolletas ya llevan media temporada jugando al fútbol 11 y están preparados para afrontar la segunda vuelta como auténticos profesionales. Por eso nuestro equipo favorito va a por todas y quiere escalar posiciones en la clasificación. Sin embargo, en una acción desafortunada, Tomi sufre una grave lesión...
Gol 17. Bienvenido al equipo
by Luigi GarlandoLos Cebolletas tienen nuevo entrenador: Gerónimo, el hermano de Gaston Champignon. En realidad, solo le sustituirá durante unas semanas, pero Tomi y sus amigos cuentan los minutos para que el míster vuelva: Gaston únicamente quiere jugar para ganar y este no es el espíritu del equipo...
Gol 18. Fútbol para novatos
by Luigi GarlandoTomi y sus amigos se han ido de vacaciones con Issa, el hijo adoptivo de Champignon, que acaba de sumarse al equipo. La semana blanca ayudará al recién llegado a integrarse en el grupo, aunque con el fútbol... ¡es un verdadero desastre! ¿Lograrán los Cebolletas hacer de él una estrella del balón?
Gol 3. ¡Empieza el campeonato!
by Luigi GarlandoOcho niños. Una Pasión: el futbol. Un sueño: ¡ser los mejores! Ya hemos llegado al ecuador del campeonato, ¡y los Cebolletas están a solo un punto del líder! Pero su mayor reto no va a ser conseguir el primer puesto, sino superar los problemas internos. Desde que Fidu dejó el futbol, nada es lo que era: a Dani le disgusta estar bajo los tres palos, Tomi tiene celos de Becan y las gemelas se despistan continuamente... Por suerte, Gaston Champignon les va a recordar la lección básica del deporte en equipo: lo más importante es mantenerse unidos.
Gol 6. ¡Vacaciones de campeonato!
by Luigi Garlando¡El verano ya está aquí, y para Tomi y sus amigos se presenta muy emocionante! La Torre Eiffel, el jorobado de Nôtre Dame, la Mona Lisa... ¿Os suena? Gaston Champignon llevará a los Cebolletas a su ciudad de origen: ¡París! Y lo mejor de todo es que, además de hacer turismo, ¡disputarán un minimundial de futbol! Estas vacaciones prometen ser un stage de pretemporada de lo más profesional.
Gol 9. El retorno del capitán
by Luigi GarlandoA los Cebolletas las cosas no les van nada mal: han empezado la segunda vuelta más en forma que nunca, Tomi se ha reincorporado al equipo y Pedro el insoportable por fin ha regresado con los Tiburones Azules. Sin embargo, algo falla? No se comportan como un verdadero equipo y Gaston Champignon ya no sabe qué hacer. ¿Conseguirán así llegar a la gran final? ¿O esta vez se quedarán a las puertas?
