Episode 15: [gossip]: The story of the director of the Yokohama Mariners U-12

Yokohama Mariners U-12 Director's Tale

This year's all-Japan boys' soccer tournament was over and good luck meetings were being held by officials.

"Ah, Senior Sawamura. We're out of time."

"Oh, it's been a while."

During a get-together, I go say hello to my youth seniors.

The senior is Naoto Sawamura.

He is a former top player for the Yokohama Mariners in the J-League and a senior on his own two.

"Congratulations on winning all the juniors in a row. As a mentor, it's a big deal."

"Thank you, seniors. This is also thanks to the children. There were three good juniors in fifth grade today."

Respond humbly to congratulations from seniors.

But actually supervising the junior team can't be a big deal. It is important not to crush the talents of children.

In a way, it depends on whether a talented child can earn it, and how well he or she scores in those years.

"Speaking of which, you were there, son of a senior."

Hyoma Sawamura, one of her seniors' sons. He was in yesterday's quarterfinals against whom our team competed.

I was surprised when I looked at their list of members.

Hyoma Sawamura was in our Yokohama Mariners U-12 from his first grade until the spring of his second year...... until four months ago.

That's just my senior son, and he's been good since freshman year.

But he was too talented, so he handled it a little bit. I was underestimating basic practice and team play.

"Hyoma, you've changed the vibe a little bit, haven't you?

He was the ace of the team against him in the quarterfinals.

So what I felt was that my previous mental immaturity had disappeared.

Normally it's only four months and I can't grow that fast.

"Hyoma? Yeah, I've been working on my own lately, even at home."

The senior smiles bitterly, drinking and answering.

For a long time this senior has been dry against his own children. He never taught football himself, he entrusted it to the school.

But today's senior smile felt different than before. Would there have been any changes in this senior as well?

"Maybe the seniors are involved in that Riverillo Hirosaki and his operations?

I cut out the question I wanted to ask.

Senior Sawamura moved to a regional city in Tohoku this summer. Says it's a small city with a wife's home.

Your son, Hyoma, joined the city's football team, Hiromae Liberillo.

And lead an unnamed football team to the national tournament all of a sudden. Plus the top eight. It's still a big leap forward.

This was a big new, among football officials. Among this get-together, there is talk all over.

"I was wondering if maybe Naoto Sawamura, as Shadow Advisor, is training Hirosaki Liberillo?

The topic and rumors were flying.

"Hmm? So you came to me to investigate? The football industry is in trouble."

"I'm also only the director of Yokohama Mariners U-12. Guess where you stand, Senior."

It's me who led the team into a streak at the national tournament, but I'm still in the young category within the football industry.

"You, junior, investigate Naoto Sawamura!" 'I can't disobey orders.

"Unfortunately, I'm not involved with my son. And, of course, before Hiromae Liberillo. Sometimes as a father, I go to a small tournament."

"Was I? But it's a waste of time for seniors to stay away from football"

Just for the record, Senior Naoto Sawamura is a great player.

I have no doubt about football talent. Now I can tell you that at the time of active duty, the Japanese representative also had a talent to target.

But seniors have a unique personality like this. It was incompatible with the supervision and character of the representative at the time and would not be convened.

Everyone regretted that at the time.

Seniors have been little involved in the football industry since retiring early.

He was a huge success in a venture he started personally, turning the country over with his family.

But Senior Sawamura also excelled as a football leader.

That's the opinion of me and all the other juniors, taught immediately by seniors on the youth team.

So I would be personally happy if you got involved in the Japanese football industry a little bit more.

"Can I ask you one last thing, Senior?

"What, with a sudden strange face?

"Third-year student number 14 in Hiroshi Riverillo...... who is that kid?

This is something I wanted to ask you personally.

Yesterday's quarterfinals made me uncomfortable with my opponents.

That's the boy named “Nolukouta” number 14, who was combing with you, Hyoma.

I watched the game, but he's not an excellent kid, especially for his physical abilities and abrupt talents.

If it was just talent, you, Hyoma, or our junior athlete, would be many times better.

That's what bothered me.

This would only be the discomfort felt by those who fought against it.

Now, the only thing that's on the table at this get-together is your name, Hyoma, among Hiromoto Liberillo, who hasn't checked anyone on each team's Scoutman about number 14.

"Number fourteen... is that the girl..."

Seniors suddenly get quiet.

I was closing my eyes and thinking of something.

"As for that kid, I don't know. But I set my son on fire, and he seems to be a rival."

"What... that leopard your rival?

It was surprising information.

Hyoma, since you were on our team, you've been the bearer of exceptional talent. That's why I always played it like it was boring.

It's a prestigious team that won two consecutive national competitions, so it's a gathering of ordinary people for him. That must have been what it must have looked like.

You mean that number fourteen set you on fire with such a moody, genuinely talented leopard? What the hell has happened in the last four months?

"Then watch this video about number 14, seniors"

Play the fourteenth play you've shot in the quarterfinals on your smartphone.

"Exquisite pass from this feint on number 14...... you know this move?

That was a technique I had never seen before.

I am the top junior director in Japan and I am not lacking in soccer studies.

Every day, he gathered information on football leagues around the world. That was the first move I saw yesterday.

"... No, I've never seen it either"

"That's right. I saw it yesterday, too, for the first time. Next up is a video from this morning's South American League game, and look at this as well."

"This is... a pass from the exact same feint as number 14, right?

"Yes, this is the first move in the world as a new technique, released“ this morning ”. We were talking about it in today's noon online news."

This new technique, unveiled in South America, will spread to football players around the world in no time. In this day and age of the information society, the proliferation of new techniques is momentary.

And soccer players from all over the world practice desperately to master themselves.

This move will require months of practice, even for Japanese football boys and good boys.

It is such a difficult move.

"But this number 14 was" yesterday's noon quarterfinals, "and I was using this move. I mean, he's supposed to be practicing for a long time.

This fact is a bit of a case that no one else has noticed.

A: In yesterday's quarterfinals, No. 14 in third grade used the new technique which means he should have been practicing for months

B: In this morning's game at Japanese time, leading South American players presented the same new technique for the first time in the world The difficulty of mastering even leading players takes more than a month in advance

This A and B were clearly inconsistent. But it actually happened.

Maybe the 14th of a regular elementary school student knitted the moves of a leading South American player himself first?... No, that's close to impossible.

So number 14 is the son of that South American player or something? Like the father was teaching his son techniques first?... No, no, it's an impossible story. I'm going crazy.

Ugh......

This problem will only be noticed so far by myself analyzed in the video.

So much so that the 14th move was a move that I had acquired over the years of practice.

"Again, I ask. Number 14 in front of Hiroshi Riverillo. Nolukouta, who are you?

"I don't know... I don't even know. But it's not very good for adults to pry on children. Tell that to your scoutman, too."

Senior's eyes glow sharply.

That was a warning.

A strong warning: 'Don't do anything extra to Hirosaki Riveriro's number 14'.

I knew best that Naoto Sawamura was horrible when I had these eyes.

This would be auspicious to follow the warning. No more prying. Let's also tell Scoutman at the Yokohama Mariners.

"Besides, with that level of technique, I can do it for the first time."

Whatever you thought, seniors suddenly start acting.

The prize for the bingo game that was next to the get-together venue. Take a soccer ball for the boy in it.

Try to recreate the 14th move as it is.

"Oops! Is that... a failure?

The ball flies in the wrong direction.

Much more seating in the get-together venue. A light hit on the head of the great guy from the Japan Football Association.

"Hey, who? ⁉ Sawamura? That problem kid again! Hey, sit right here!

Executives were ghost coaches from our youth days back in the day.

Afterwards. For some reason I got involved, too, and was preached by a ghost coach with my senior.

It's hard to say he's the director of the winning team for today's national tournament.

Truly to this senior, he's just been swinging around for a long time.

Still, number 14 in front of Hiroshi Riverillo?

That team will definitely be moving on to the national tournament next year. And more amazing than this year.

We Yokohama Mariners U-12 are going to lose our minds next year.
