Amateur Old Man, Enjoy Reborn Football Life (Booked)

A Football Association Person's Tale

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

As a member of the Japan Football Association, I had just returned home from the European branch where I was going.

Being a lower end at my age, I attend the end of that get-together.

'No, nevertheless, the finals were turbulent...'

"Was it seven to six? That was a development that I don't think was the final...... '

"I didn't know the prestigious Yokohama Mariners would lose to the City Club..."

The topic at the get-together was always the finals.

There are three reasons why the topic has grown so far:

① The Yokohama Mariners, who were the winning candidates, lost.

② The target was a shallow city club in the northeast.

③ That it ended with a development that also seems to be a muddy fit.

Especially since (2) the executives of the association are wearing zawa.

Anyway, in today's big boys soccer tournament, the J Junior team had a monopoly on the top.

A Japanese boy admiring J-Lieger tries to join the J-junior team until he takes the exam.

As a result, many of the talented boys became biased against the J Junior Team.

"The winner was Liberillo...... Hirosaki......?

"But next year, you don't know what will happen..."

Of course, in the boys' soccer clubs and city soccer clubs, sometimes future superstars join the club and score well.

But as the executives talk about, in the years to come, J Lower Organizations (academies) will overwhelmingly score.

If we think about the future of Japanese football, we have no choice.

"Speaking of which, was it Yokohama Mariners OB, Naoto Sawamura, your son Hyoma? He's the only one I remember..."

'Oh, right. Reminiscent of Sawamura when she was younger, the kid was a beautiful play too......'

Among the city club's Hiromae Riverillo, there was a boy whose executives had received praise.

That's Hyoma Sawamura.

While still in fourth grade, he is now the scoring king of the tournament and the ace of the team.

Especially from the executives are their blood muscles.

The son of Ob of the prestigious Yokohama Mariners, which would have made him special.

(Indeed, Hyoma Sawamura, you are exceptional in this age. Looking forward to the last generation)

I don't feel bad about him, either.

We watched the finals straight away, but there were many glowing plays.

Primary Junior - Junior Junior Junior Youth - High School Youth and I want you to grow up well.

That would make him one of the worthy players for future Japanese football.

But Sawamura, why is your son in such a northeastern city club?

"Well, at the same time as you graduate from elementary school, each junior youth team is going to move to win......"

'No, maybe under the water, each team's scoutman is already in motion! Ha ha ha...'

I agree with that opinion of the executives.

Hyoma Sawamura, I think you should move another team early. To the proven J Junior Youth team, of course.

In juvenile football, the gift of birth is important. But the environment in which we grow is more important than that, in my opinion.

Excellent hard equipment and the soft side of a team of professional coaches.

And being on the team, the daily competition with competitors selected from all over the country.

I believe that it is these stimulating environments that are indispensable for the growing generation.

Information as a club in Hirosaki Riverillo is still scarce among the football associations.

When I saw the HP, there was an artificial lawn practice area and night lighting. The coach's extraction in the final wasn't bad either.

However, the image of "one of the most common local city clubs” could not be wiped.

Never the best environment.

Especially the equivalent player who will be Sawamura Hyoma's rival will not be on that team.

'Speaking of which... how was number 14 in front of Hiro Liberillo, gentlemen?

From the chatter of those executives, there was a young voice.

That is certainly the director of the Yokohama Mariners U-12.

As the director of the semi-winning team, he will be the talking point for the executives.

"Number 14? You don't remember... '

"I can't even remember..."

"Your Mariners' sixth grade is more promising than that..."

The executives tilt their necks at the remarks of the director of the Yokohama Mariners U-12.

Then take the topic in the next direction. It's probably a topic that I don't really remember or care about.

(Number 14 in Hiroshima Riverillo... Is that the player...)

That's actually an athlete I cared about, too.

But like you, Hyoma, you're not an excellent player.

I don't know what to say… As a "strange boy," I was impressed.

I was watching the finals, but I'm not under any particularly shocking impression.

“The player who scored three points, including the final," but I'm not impressed at all.

That's why he's a strange boy on the contrary.

(Characteristics of number 14…)

-The legs, shooting skills, and physical abilities are not particularly great. (That position is gobbling all over the country)

-Basical strength is at a fairly high standard, but there is no glowing play at all. (Less future stretch?

-Three points in the final were all “Ootsu Amen Goal”. (I was stumbling upon a spillball and shooting)

That's the rating in me, number 14 watching the finals.

I'm only in fourth grade and a regular player on the winning team.

If you think about it, it's never bad.

(but “the player who just walked"... that would be a bad image)

In the final, number 14 was a bar at the end of the game and a lot of walking plays.

Maybe he's a boy with some kind of anxiety about stamina or body.

However, in Japanese football today, it is important that players from all positions are constantly running around.

So the impressions of the executives earlier would have been so faint.

"But the final point... is..."

I utter words unexpectedly, remembering the fourteenth.

I remember the last play of the National Convention.

――――◇――――

-Hioma Sawamura, your free kick hits the wall on the defensive side and becomes a spill ball.

-Number 14 picked it up by accident and recklessly went on to the goal.

-Surrounded by three players from the Yokohama Mariners, they're about to take the ball.

-But the ball was rocking the net with corn.

――――◇――――

"I'm... what?

I just remembered, my spine crept.

My goosebumps were standing even though it was supposed to be an accidental odd goal.

It's like Europe where I was until last month. It has the same goosebump feeling as when I saw the professional athlete's super goal.

No matter how many times I reviewed the recorded footage from the final, I didn't know what caused that goosebump.

It was a really coincidental goal to watch over and over again.

"Oh? Did the director of Yokohama Mariners U-12 become alone? All right, let's go ask."

The director of the semi-winning team went away from the executives.

Earlier, the look on that man's face when he spoke No. 14 was also a little weird.

Maybe as an opponent, you know something number 14 secret. I'm really curious, so let's go ask.

"Well, suppose we go... oops, excuse me"

It was when I tried to make my way to the director.

I bump into one of the guests at the get-together gently.

I apologize honestly because I'm more careless.

"Is that it? Are you... Yokohama Mariners OB's Sawamura?

"Oh, yeah, but"

The person I bumped into was Naoto Sawamura.

Ex-J Rieger from the Yokohama Mariners, as we talked about earlier. Now he starts a venture and is a very successful business owner.

"Excuse me. This is who I am."

"Hmm. I see."

Pass your own business card to Naoto Sawamura, who meets you for the first time.

Even if they look at the contents of their business cards, they don't seem very interested. Rather, as a social worker, it was an unusual response.

Speaking of which, I hear this man has been a unique personality since he was an athlete.

Retired and still the same, he will be piercing himself.

Speaking of which, you, Hyoma, son of Naoto Sawamura, are on the same team as number 14.

"Number fourteen..."

"Number 14? You mean your leopard teammate, Nolu Kouta?

Naoto Sawamura reacts with Pickle to a word I accidentally utter.

It's not like the unresponsiveness I just had.

Clearly, on that face, there was a look of some sort.

Oops...... this was an unexpected reaction.

Maybe this guy knows something about number 14, too.

After his retirement, Naoto Sawamura works against the world, including Europe and South America.

But now he had moved to the northeastern city, in the countryside, which was his wife's home. It's really strange when you think about convenience.

(Sudden emigration of Naoto Sawamura... Joining the group of his son Hiromae Liberillo... Hiromae Liberillo's great leap forward... and that No. 14 discomfort...)

Pean in my brain, and keywords came to me.

From then on, maybe all of this is closely connected.

At its center is this Sawamura Naoto?

Or number 14...... no, there would be no possibility of this one.

"I'm talking about that boy number 14... Oh, excuse me. I'll get back to you next time, Mr. Sawamura!

It was when I tried to ask Naoto Sawamura.

I interrupt the conversation.

Apologize for the disrespect and tell him I'll be in touch again.

(Damn, you came at a time like this...)

Because they found someone important at the entrance of the social gathering.

"Boss! Where have you been? I looked for you!

I speak up to the person in demand who will be my manager.

It might be a little straightforward to say to your boss.

But if you don't, you don't know who you're dealing with.

"Oh, let me wait, sorry, Dez! Talk to the Japanese football boys, Shiteki Masita!

"After all, was it... as free as ever or what"

My boss is foreigner.

Sometimes it's Japanese for generations, and I can speak Japanese like this.

Looks like a white beard from his sixties or so. He is a cheerful European wearing sunglasses.

"That one is ⁉ no way......"

"It's true! Why are you at such a boy football get-together...?

"You're here privately...?

A get-together for the appearance of the boss, at once.

Anyway, the boss is a European football legend player. If you're a football official, you were a celebrity everyone knew about.

By the way, your visit to the Boys' Football National Convention is totally private. This get-together was also my boss's favorite surprise.

"Ladies and gentlemen of the Japanese Football Association, Konnichiwa. From now on, Yorosik, please, Shimas!

The boss greets everyone in the venue in one word of Japanese.

I'm going to take care of you as a special advisor, to the executives of Japanese football.

"Speaking of which, it's Atta to the Wonderful Boy!

To me, the secretary, the boss has spoken with excitement.

After the closing ceremony of the National Convention on Anything. That's where he said he met an interesting football boy.

I was worried about the finals, so I actually went to talk to him.

(Interesting player? It's not Ano 14, is it?

The example boy thing came to my mind.

(But after you settle down about number 14...)

Because I'm going to be busy.

We can't show the boss to the great man.

This is how I went about my work in Japan with my boss.

Busy days are likely to continue for the development of Japanese football.

There is no way that the No. 14 “Nolu Kouta” in Hiroshi Riverillo and the relative day are near...... I never imagined it at this time.
