Amateur Old Man, Enjoy Reborn Football Life (Booked)

Episode 23: General Assembly Days 2 and 3

The second day of the national tournament begins.

This morning, the third game of the primary qualifying league will take place.

We, Hirosaki Liberillo, had won two in a row and had already confirmed a qualifying breakthrough.

Even if we lose this third game, we can make it to the top 16 tournament of the afternoon.

"This third game, don't push it. It will be last year's two dances. But keep your head down!

"" "Yes, coach!

Instructions are given by the coach before the game.

“The Two Dances of Last Year" … At last year's National Convention, we were fighting a critical battle from the qualifying round.

Thanks to this, the breakdown continues from the regular group. Hiroshi Riveriro, a thinner player base than others, lost the top eight because of his influence.

To avoid repeating that failure, this year's coach was setting up an operation.

Finally, the third game begins.

"Watch there, Coata and Sister Nolu"

"Yeah, I left the first half to you, Mr. Hyoma!

In the first half of the operation, me and my sister Sunflower waited on the bench. Hyoma is from the first half. [M]

This would reduce the attack power of a substantial team.

But the stamina of the main players can be saved.

I thought about the top 16 tournaments this afternoon, it's a secret.

"Seniors, first half, please"

I'm on the bench, sending my seniors to the battlefield.

To be honest, some things are disturbing about this operation. If we lose the third game, the team goes bad.

Besides, I'm starting to get nervous right now.

Speaking of which, this is the first time I've ever been on the bench and watched an official game of my own.

"Coata, leave it to me! As seniors, we'll show you what's cool!

"Right. Let's show our juniors five or six years of willpower!

The seniors, including the captain, depended on me like that.

They certainly don't have the gift (Tembu) of a leopard like you or a prestigious junior player.

But the feeling of "loving football” was not beaten by any other prestigious team.

I believe and wait for their thoughts on football, which has been going on for six years since first grade.

The third game starts.

The game was going in equilibrium with 0 to 0 in the first half.

The opponent was a mighty team, attacking him with the intention of dying.

Hiromae Liberillo, his own army, endured endurance, and his predecessors stood up and protected him, mainly the captain of six years.

And the end of the first half. Hyoma, you move.

It was a lightning counter, and I put in a brilliant one.

That concludes the first half of one to zero.

"All right, as per the maneuver, lower the leopard in the second half. Brothers and sisters Nolu, I asked for the second half."

"" Yes, coach!

Hyoma, you and one of your seniors take turns here.

Next, I was waiting on the bench, it's my turn and the sunflower's turn.

"Coata, I asked for the rest."

"Good day, Mr. Hyoma. If I keep my health warm later, I'll do everything I can!

"What, that contradiction? Sounds like you."

Because of your mind, I feel like you laughed.

You're usually the cool, calm, sedentary leopard?

Maybe my hard work was appreciated.

"Brother, let's work together in the second half!

"Oh, right, sunflower. Your father and your mother need to show you something nice."

Leopard, I have to leave you alone and focus on the game. My parents were here to support me in the audience this year.

The second half of the battle is about to begin.

Now, before the second half, let's check the situation again.

The score is won by one point.

This isn't my usual all-powerful play, it seems like it could be about 70% power.

But don't be alarmed. Take it easy, we're rolling out the game.

(As for the image, let's be aware of the future anothers...)

I think of one genius player in my brain.

The footballer was said to be world-class in his previous life.

He is an incredibly “runless” player in future football. That was the highest result in the world.

(Today I... participate slowly in the ball spin to make my strength efficient when I have a chance to score. And then we identify the points of battle...... so let's do it!

Synchronize the future athlete's movements in the brain.

Until now, it was impossible for me to imitate him. But lately, my right leg is light and my whole body is in good shape.

A little bit of this, I think. You can minimize your health consumption and attack.

If we keep attacking the guys who are beating it, the seniors on the defense can regain strength.

The second half is a show of my game makeup arm.

All right! Let's get you in the mood.

This is how the second half begins.

Deployment will proceed as per the operation.

I control the game with sports vision and judgment. Prepend your opponent's attack and take it like a willow.

And find the opponent's gap, reflected in the counterattack.

Ultimately, from my last pass, Sunflower scored a gorgeous one and won 2-for-0.

We went to the top 16 tournament with three straight wins while keeping all of us healthy.

The nation's top sixteen tournaments will start that afternoon.

Our opponent was a J-League junior team.

But it wasn't stronger than the Yokohama Mariners U-12 we fought last year.

Thanks to that too, I was able to win 2-on-1.

If you look at the result score alone, it is quite marginal.

But I also practiced "relaxed play” there.

Better than in the morning, I feel like I did well. I had some control over the game while I was in the middle.

Even the slightest difference did not jeopardize the game. We rotated the main players to keep their health warm.

It will be the third day of the National Convention the next day.

Quarterfinals will be held this morning and in the afternoon.

It's a pretty important day.

Anyway, last year, Hiroshi Riverillo lost in the quarterfinals.

In other words, we challenge again where we could not transcend.

Strangely enough, our team was calm.

I can't say well, but they were all on the waves. I was in luck with victory.

Furthermore, unlike last year, when it first appeared, the stamina allocation was adequate.

Day one of the tournament will do everything in its power to try to qualify.

The second day fights with leeway.

This makes everyone's body lighter today, the third day.

Unlike last year's full creation (Manshin like that).

This morning on the third day, like someone else last year, they were all refreshing. The inn had breakfast, too.

Then we had a thicker athlete base.

Only two of you, me and Leopard, fought hard in the offensive last year.

But this year, Aoi, the star of expectation, has joined the offensive team.

Another five or six years of seniors had grown from last year.

As a team that went through last year's national tournament, mentally and physically. It was growing in all of it.

Besides, I was using my new "rushed play” well.

A lazy (now) style of play, like walking from around. But in real life, it was extremely effective.

(Oh, this team...... Hiromae Riveriro is really strong)

Many times this year, I thought so.

But this time, it's close to real intuition.

If I thought so, the game was over.

[Quarterfinals win 2-on-1]

[Semifinals win 3-on-1]

Our team, Hiromae Liberillo, was winning the tournament.

"Ooh! You did it, Coata! Nice goal!

"That's right, brother!

"Hmm. It's a big deal next to me, Courta."

When I realized it, I heard the captain shouting. And sunflower and leopard, your voice.

When I realized it was the semi-finals.

What a scene I put in the third point.

The quarterfinals that preceded it and the contents of the semifinals were also slight, and I had my own memories.

I used to play games as usual.

This was a strange feeling.

Like, "The Ultimately Sharpened Japanese Knife"?

I was in a strange mood.

Was I too focused and in an unknown sensation?

Anyway, it's a real pleasure to have won.

"Yeah, guys, thanks. Now, here we go..."

That's how we won.

Tomorrow is the final.

It was the last fight of the national tournament.

The opponent, of course, is Yokohama Mariners U-12.

We challenged the mighty team during the second consecutive national tournament.

We went back to our usual place that day. [M]

Inns near venues in Kagoshima Prefecture.

I've been taking care of you for the last three days, so I feel calm when I come back.

"When you have dinner, take a bath. Tomorrow is the final. Go to sleep early today!

"" "Yes, coach!

"I'm turning down sleeping drinks tonight, too!

"What, the coach got a sleeping drink?

"Are you okay?

"Rather, let's not let the coach sleep!

Have dinner with all the members and coaches.

Everyone was laughing at the liquor-loving coach's declaration of sobriety. It's bright and has a nice vibe.

After dinner, we all go into the bathroom.

Nobody's making stupid noises in the hot tub all day.

I was carefully washing my body, dirty in a series of wars.

After the bath it's all for everyone, stretch and massage time. Everyone was struggling with their own fatigue in the streak.

Scratched legs in football. Full body full of bruises.

It's like a medal for the football boys.

After that, I brush my spike shoes with a cloth.

Too much practice, and everyone's shoes are worn out.

It's really time to replace it with a new one.

But they were all wearing used up for the "winning gen charge”.

All teammates politely polish such an attached partner.

"Hey. Lights out in an hour. It's time to get ready for bed..."

In the meantime.

The coach who comes around, stops his voice. An hour before the lights went out, the children were asleep.

He slept with his soccer tools in his arms.

"Oh man, don't catch a cold..."

The coach quietly futons the children. And they turned off the lights in each room.

Thus, on the eve of the final in front of Hiroshi Riverillo, it gets even better.

"It's finally the finals tomorrow..."

I was awake alone in that.

I was alone in the lobby of the inn because the lights were still out.

"It's time for me to go to bed... but..."

I couldn't sleep with wonder.

The mood was too exhilarating and physical fatigue might have been beyond drowsiness.

And let's just relax in the lobby for a little bit.

"Hmm? Were you still awake, Coata?

"Ah... Hyoma, you too?

A leopard came to such a place.

He also said he was in a high mood and couldn't sleep.

Cool and calm settling usually. I thought it was a perfect mental state, a rarity for you, Hyoma.

Just fine.

Leopard, let's talk football with you, relax and then go to bed.

"By the way, Coata. I've wanted to ask you something for a long time. Who are you?

"What...?

It was just a question.

Instead of relaxing, I hold my breath and my heart sounds more intense.

Thus began the last night of the National Convention in a true sense.
