Amateur Old Man, Enjoy Reborn Football Life (Booked)
Episode 12: Towards the First Big Games
“All Japan Boys' Football Games”
It is a major national football tournament for elementary school students' U-12 generation (12 and under) club teams.
The road to the National Convention is as follows:
① First, hold a district tournament to select a representative of that district.
② Each district representative selects one team from each prefecture representative at the prefectural convention.
③ Forty-seven provinces nationwide + only two winning provinces in the previous fiscal year = a total of 48 teams. This will compete in the national tournament.
A little more briefly,
· Win district tournaments
· Winner of the provincial tournament
· Can compete in national competitions
This is the way to go. In other words, "the Koshien Games of elementary school football".
It's the biggest tournament that thousands of elementary football teams around the country aspire to.

"We will now announce the regulars of the District Games"
Two weeks before the district tournament at the end of September.
Everyone on the athlete's course meets from fourth through sixth graders on our team.
Eight regulars from the coach at the district tournament and a few refraining will be announced. By the way, an eight-person tournament is fundamental these days.
The all-Japanese boys' soccer tournament is also the most temperamental tournament for the coaches. So go be the best member of the member.
Many other teams will also have sixth graders as subjects of regulars. Other than that, there can be talented fifth graders in.
Anyway, the difference between a year old in elementary school is huge. As well as height and weight, muscle mass and technique make a difference.
Even my team's coaches are announcing more and more names of regular players.
The chosen athlete unwittingly speaks up and rejoices. On the other hand, he who had lost his vote had regretted his teeth for a long time.
It is precisely a moment of heaven and hell.
"... and finally, Hyoma Sawamura and Nolu Kota. These sixteen challenge the district tournament. Now imagine the tournament and start practicing!
The name of the last third grade student who was present is called, as are two.
Nolu Coata...... er, it's about me.
There are no other seniors with the same name.
Being a third grader, I was chosen as a regular for some reason.
Hyoma, you're an elected man, but I'm obviously crazy.
"Uh, coach. I'm only in third grade, right?
I'll sneak in and ask the coach.
Maybe I'm the manager frame.
If you're happy with that, it's pretty embarrassing. We need to make sure it's properly checked.
"It's not a mistake. Kota and Sawamura, you're our team's ace and secret weapon. I asked for it!
Something asked me to do the opposite.
I can't help this. He may be a refrain player, so he may not turn up.
Anyway, let's do our best to get our own vest out.
"Hey, Nolu Coata. Which one of you will score more points at the next Prefectural Games?
"But you, Hyoma. To go to the provincial tournament, you have to win the district tournament..."
I answer you, Hyoma, who has challenged me to battle.
Our team is a normal strength in the district.
Last year's sixth grade was fourth in the district tournament.
That is to say, beat the other top three teams, win the league and win. If you don't, you shouldn't be in the provincial tournament.
"You don't have to worry about that. Indeed, the 5th and 6th graders are normal. But with me, it's easy to win a district tournament."
"Well... you're really a leopard."
Hyoma, you're only in third grade, but you're a distinct striker.
Even the small competitions in which the team has participated in the past few months have had a series of brilliant hat tricks. I'm sure they'll be active in the district tournament as well.
"Oh, and you too..."
Hyoma shrugged and left. [M] What the hell did I say?
And it's an all-Japanese boys' soccer tournament? I'm getting a little nervous.
Rumor has it that J-League scoutsmen are also coming to visit the national tournament.
That's where we scout the standout talented players to our own junior high school (Junior Youth) team.
Some players also played in all Japanese boys' soccer games in their previous lives and became J-Ledgers in the future. It's exactly the elite street to the dreams of the football boys.
All right, I have to work hard too!
In order to fulfill my dreams, I need to stand out in the Games.
To do this, we just have to win the district tournament first.
There may not be a chance for me to refrain. But let's just keep our temper. Speak up for the regular players.
From that day on, athlete courses are more temperamental than usual.
Of course, I will build on my efforts.
And the district tournament was finally coming up.
◇
Early October. Over the course of a few days, a district tournament was staged with heavy fighting.
The curtain was about to come down.
"The winner of this year's District Games is Hiromae Liberillo!
Hiromae Riveriro... Our team won the district.
He won with overwhelming strength, overwhelming the previous Lower Horse Review.
Now in the middle of an award ceremony after the district tournament.
The team's captain's sixth grader is awarded the winning medal.
Yo, Captain! You're the Admiral!
I always cheer on the captain who supports the team as a DF.
"The District Games scoring king is Hyoma Sawamura from the same team!
What a leopard you have become a scoring king in a district tournament.
He said he was the first scoring king in the third grade to keep the other team under control. Hyoma is also awarded a medal.
Nevertheless, Hyoma, your activity was truly overwhelming.
Dribbles and feints that are good at pulling out enemy teams.
It was an overwhelming sense of scoring that led to a series of shoots.
I knew you were awesome, Hyoma.
Football game geek I was a really eye-catching neighborhood. I am proud to be the same teammate.
"Next up, the tournament MVP is Mr. Nolu Kota from the same team!
Mr. Nolu Kota... Yes, it's my name.
For some reason, why am I on MVP?
Even though I scored and I lost to you, Leopard, by one point.
How the hell is that......
"I don't think you're three years in elementary school, Nolu Courta. It worked great with the breadth of field and technique, and overwhelming judgment! Ladies and gentlemen, one more big round of applause!
I am also awarded an MVP medal. Apparently it was evaluated that he was running around as an MF in the middle.
From all over the venue, the loudest applause ever occurs. It's a celebratory applause towards me.
"Shit, Nolu Coata...... this time it's a draw. But I can't beat you at the provincial tournament! Because I evolve every day!
The leopard next door gave me some words to celebrate, too.
He's not just a good football player, he's a really good guy.
Still, is the provincial tournament next?
I never thought the team could make it in.
I'm sure Ace Striker's, Leopard, owes you a lot. That's great to be a professional athlete in the future.
The rapid growth of the seniors for another five or six years was also a pretty positive addition.
My seniors have improved significantly since April, when I was promoted.
The same goes for the technique, but I don't have half the way into the mood in practice.
Still, what the hell is the animosity of the seniors?
"That's right, Coata. Because you three years old can't just leave it to me!
"Right. We look like classmates, too, because we want to!
After the award ceremony, we celebrate the victory with the seniors.
Speaking of which, the people of five or six years were rivals about me and Leopard. Whatever you were, I was a little embarrassed.
But if I could have been a kanflu agent, it would have been the result Aurai.
"All right, we're going to win the provincial tournament next! And aim, it's a national tournament!
"" "Ooh!
After the award ceremony, scream around the captain. The team was in a messed up mood.
I've come this far, so I want to do my best.
A period of about a month is available until the next provincial tournament.
I have to practice more voluntarily than ever before. Leopard, I need to grow myself so you don't leave me.
◇
Another month has passed since the district tournament.
"The winner of this year's provincial tournament is Hirosaki Liberillo!
Our team won the provincial tournament.
"The provincial tournament scoring king is Mr. Nolu Kota from the same team!
"Then the tournament MVP is the same team Hyoma Sawamura!
Now it will be the opposite award ceremony.
I was selfless during the provincial tournament. I miraculously scored a lot because of it.
He was just the scoring king.
Hyoma, on the other hand, does a lot better than the district tournament by improving your passwork and judgment. He was nicely chosen as an MVP for the Prefectural Games.
That's you, Hyoma.
Passwork and collaboration that I hated so much. I can't believe you've improved that far in just one month. Too awesome.
Besides, Hyoma, your efforts are halfway through these days. [M] Probably a lot in the shadows, practicing voluntarily.
I didn't miss the drain and replacement of the football spike.
Genius who is talented but strives even more shady...... really cool.
"Shit, now you missed the scoring king... next up is the national tournament, Nolu Courta"
I was tongue-beating, but you, Hyoma, celebrate me. Some things are a little tundra and cute.
Nevertheless, the next tournament is going to be held as a representative of the prefecture.
To be honest, I haven't really felt it yet.
The national tournament is vacant for about a month. So until then, we need to practice a lot.
Because if it's a national tournament, there will be future J-Leager candidates on each team.
I can't rely solely on you and your seniors, Hyoma. I have to work harder than ever.
◇
Thus, the day passes in no time.
Every day of team practice and self-practice. For the National Convention, expectations around him were also gradually growing.
And finally... National Convention Day is here.
