Amateur Old Man, Enjoy Reborn Football Life (Booked)

This is a story of a world very similar to Japan.

"Regional Football Club, closes the curtain on thirty years of history"

I find that article in the corner of the local newspaper and I tremble all over my body.

If you read the article carefully, the local professional football club fell into trouble and broke up.

"Seriously......"

No matter how many times I reread it, I won't cover the contents.

I'll check my local news site on my smartphone just in case, but it only says the same thing.

"Is that professional team gone..."

The local football team was launched thirty years ago as an amateur team.

At its climax, it even climbed to J3 in the domestic professional football league.

J2 J1. With two more promotions, there were times of glory that could have gone as far as the highest J1 in the country.

"The past few years have been a long time losing..."

In the wake of one incident a few years ago, the team wore itself out.

After that, the ranking drops more and more without any modification.

And this year, he's finally demoted to the regional league. It was today's dissolution announcement.

"If I had more support... damn"

Fifteen years ago now. I became a supporter of the local football team.

I've never played football in earnest.

But when I was in high school, I stumbled upon football in the game.

I had no hobbies or stunts at the time.

So I spent all my time and money supporting my team.

He went to the stadium for backup, like every week, and took a trip to games in other provinces.

"That was really fun back then..."

Besides the local team, I fell for the football industry.

He also watched other domestic J-Leagues and high school football games.

I also love overseas football leagues.

I can't go overseas to see the game. That's why I was collecting information like every night on an online show.

After high school. Other than work and sleep, I spent all my days watching football games.

That is not an exaggeration. It was a truly enjoyable fifteen years.

"But the local team is disbanded..."

After all, the most supportive was the local professional football team.

But it also dissolved and vanished today.

An unspoken sense of nothingness strikes me.

Would you say "Team Ross”?

There was a big hole in my heart.

"God is cruel. You're not just gonna take this leg from me..."

Point your gaze at your right foot. There were prosthetic legs on there.

I lost my right leg in a car accident when I was in fourth grade.

That's why I was so full of rehab when I was a student. I couldn't afford to play sports.

"And Father... Mother... Aoi..."

Unexpectedly crush the names of families lost in the same accident.

I was in a car accident with my parents and sister. I was losing my whole family. This is how I survived when I was in fourth grade.

"Guys, I'll be gone soon..."

But my life was almost over. [M]

It was the aftermath of a car accident that caused the brain to have an incurable disease.

The sequelae have recurred and now this is how I am on the hospital bed.

I eavesdropped on the doctor.

I'm supposed to be in a situation where it's not strange to be dead already.

I've been in the hospital for the last year, watching football games online.

"I wanted to watch a local team game... maybe that's why I survived"

Football gave me hope of life when I got lonely all my life in a car accident.

The activity of the local team may have kept the disease away.

Players desperate to play a game to cheer up this little city. They gave me the courage to live.

I really still appreciate football.

"I'm sorry... I'm really sorry... I wanted to see the local team play in the J-League..."

Soon I was in tears.

It is regrettable.

The regret that if I had supported the team stronger, there would not have been a dissolution......

If I'd been there for you earlier, I wouldn't have had a different future...... such tears.

"If I had more power... I might have saved my team..."

With that grumbling, I turn my gaze to the football that was in the hospital room.

That's for me in the hospital, something the players from the local team gave me.

A word of encouragement not to lose the sequelae...... the contributions of those athletes.

It is my treasure, only one in this world.

"I have more power..."

Reach for the soccer ball. Just one last time, I wanted to touch the ball.

But it never came true.

I was unconscious.

Right leg and family.

And a local football team that was a hope of living.

I lost everything, and I was the last fire of my life... and it went out.
