Amateur Old Man, Enjoy Reborn Football Life (Booked)

Episode 20: Finishing the team well

Summer vacation for fourth grade ends in a short while.

My summer vacation was the same, every day I pickled soccer.

Beginning with early morning practice, practice on the team in the morning.

Return to the house for lunch and take a gentle nap. Proper diet and sleep make your boyhood body bigger and stronger.

See you in the afternoon for team practice. There are many practice games with other teams in the afternoon.

We did a good job of being the top eight national competitions. Thanks to that, there were more applications for the game from the neighboring prefecture team.

A practice game with a strong team has a lot to gain from us too.

I'm still just finishing my practice game.

"Brother, did you see the sunflower chute now? Aoi, it's a hat trick!

"Oh. I was watching it right. That's sunflower."

"Eh heh... thanks to your brother for his awesome pass too!

It was my sister's sunflower that was growing rapidly in that.

While in third grade, he was active as a pillar of the team's offense.

"Hey, Nolu Coata. Has there been a sudden decrease in the last pass to me lately?

"Oh, I don't think so... Mr. Hyoma"

Another ace on the team, Hyoma, you were as active as ever.

As a two-top for sunflower and offense, he mass-produces scores in practice matches.

The sunflower is a sharp sense of smell (cuckoo), the type of FW that jumps in from the blind spot and scores goals.

Hyoma, you're the type of FW who breaks through with an overwhelming dribble and makes intense shooting decisions.

For a different type of player for both of us, I was tailored to the situation to give a pass.

You should never have stuck with your sister.

"Seniors, good defense today. But it's better to work together."

"Right, I see. That's Sawamura."

Speaking of which, Hyoma, you've been growing in other ways lately.

He started giving me advice for the team.

I know a lot about football, Hyoma, and your advice is accurate. Thanks to this, the team's overall strength grows remarkably.

Hyoma, who used to be a "lonely genius skin”.

He was about to change a lot since the last National Convention defeat.

"By the way, Nolu Coata. You, what happened during the summer vacation?

"What, you leopard? Nothing. Nothing? I've been practicing with you, Leopards."

"Right. But for that, like everyone else before, I have a sharp sense of play... no, maybe it's my fault."

Leopard has asked you strange things.

There's been a big change in my play.

But I don't remember doing any special voluntary exercises.

I practiced on my own as usual and with my team as usual.

Oh, but...

Speaking of which, I dodged the traffic accident flag on the first day of my summer vacation. I feel like my body has lightened since the day after that.

My right leg feels lighter than before.

Hmm. But the human body can't change that much in just one day.

It must be me or Leopard's fault.

Let's not worry too much. It's a good thing you're doing well.

"All right! Soon, district qualifiers for the October National Convention. Let's all work together for the December National Games!

I don't think so, I speak out of temper by myself.

I'm doing well, so my temper accidentally went out to my voice. I scream by myself (me) and then I get embarrassed by accident.

"Whoa, Coata guy, are you in the mood? All right, everybody, let's form a circle! Gathering!"

Inspired by me, the sixth grade captain gives instructions.

Gather all of the athlete's courses and form a circle together in the middle of the practice area.

"Earlier, Coata also said, it's almost a district tournament. We're gonna beat them all! Aim, National Convention!

"" "Fight, O!!" "

Following the captain, all his teammates raise their temper.

Me and Sunflower, as well as that cool leopard you were screaming.

"Whoa, Sawamura's a rare mood, too, huh?

"Hmm. Captain, I don't need temper."

"Ha ha... Sawamura is still a cute junior"

"Well, if Sawamura and Kota had a little more cuteness, I'd be a good junior."

"Right! Ha ha ha..."

The captains and the seniors were making fun of you and making fun of you.

Hyoma was smiling bitterly as you dealt with it. But I think I'm just a little happy.

Ah.

Something like this is good.

I am unexpectedly emotional about the sight of my teammates.

"This team is... nice"

I snap.

This team has grown stronger.

Unlike the national J Junior team, the city team is by no means an elite course.

But if it was just the team's unity, I was confident that I would never lose anywhere.

Team cohesion.

Voluntary exercises for all at 6: 00 every morning. Talking at each school is all about football.

Take more practice time while teaching each other homework and studies.

Before team practice in the evening, we still all practise voluntarily. Voluntary practice even after the team is over.

Saturdays, Sundays, festivals, and summer holidays are all day. I was gathered in the ground to practice and play mini-games.

Several times a month, we gather at your house with a big TV. So all my teammates watched football videos and also studied tactics.

This was all done by my teammates, voluntarily. I wasn't ordered by my parents or coaches.

Because everyone on this team loves football.

He wanted to get better, he wanted to win a game, and he was wuss.

And most importantly, the football is funny, and the atmosphere has no choice.

Because it's such a team, I can say with confidence.

"We are... this team is strong"

Looking at such dependable companions, I snap small.

Thus the battle for the National Convention was about to begin.

The month goes by in October.

"The winner of the district tournament this fiscal year is also Hiroshima Riverillo!

Our team won the district.

Following last year, it is a continuous victory with overwhelming strength.

Awards Ceremony after District Games. The team's captain's sixth grader will also be awarded the winning medal this year.

Two consecutive years of district domination. The captain even had style as the king of the district.

It is a pillar of the spirit of a truly dependable team.

"The District Games scoring king is Nolu Aoi from the same team and Hyoma Sawamura are your two!

What a sister-in-law, Aoi and Hyoma, who became the scoring king at the district tournament.

Aoi is the senior scoring king on the other team. Hyoma, you are the scoring king of a district for two consecutive years.

I knew you were awesome, Hyoma.

And the sunflower is amazing. I never imagined my sister would be so talented.

"Next up, the tournament MVP is Mr. Nolu Kota from the same team!

I was also named District MVP after last year. There was a lot of hard work on the passes and defenses.

But to be honest, I'm most happy that the team was able to win.

Team wins are more rewarding than anything else these days than what you do. I want to contribute to the team as a shadow beneath the edge.

"Hey, Nolu Coata. I knew you had a different vibe to play before, didn't you?

"That's a leopard. You're the same, aren't you? Unlike before, the defense helped."

"Shit... I can't help it"

Next to the award ceremony, you, Hyoma, gave me the words of celebration.

Unlike last year, he was moving for the team, too. Thanks to this, the team's overall strength was growing overwhelmingly.

All right, team growth looks good.

I want to continue with the provincial tournament next month.

The month goes by in November.

"The winner of the provincial tournament this fiscal year is also Hiroshima Riverillo!

Our team was also able to win the provincial tournament. It is the second consecutive victory following last year.

"The provincial tournament scoring king is Nolu Aoi from the same team!

"Then the tournament MVP belongs to the same team, Hyoma Sawamura and Kouta Nolu! This is the first double award for the Provincial Games!

Now it will be an award ceremony in the opposite form.

Aoi is the scoring king by himself. Hyoma, you and I were chosen as MVPs.

There is a reason for this.

At the provincial tournament, we were challenging a new formation.

That makes the sunflower one top of the attack. Hyoma, you and I, the two of us, dominate the midline formation.

This was combined with the practice of countering strong enemies at national competitions.

As a result, we were both selected for MVP at the same time.

"Finally, the next national tournament."

"Right, Mr. Hyoma... Revenge."

Last year was the top eight in the nation in his first appearance.

The coaches and the parents complimented us, but we weren't convinced.

The place to aim is the same as last year, only one.

"Absolutely, win the national championship on this team..."

I was going to crush where I was going.

Thus the days pass in the meantime.

And the second half of December of the National Convention came.
