Amateur Old Man, Enjoy Reborn Football Life (Booked)

Early fall season in fifth grade.

I will participate in the accommodation of U-15 Japanese delegates for the first time.

"My name is Nolu Kota. I'm on a team called Hiromae Riveriro. Best wishes!

At the sleepover meeting, I introduce myself.

He seems to be in fifth grade and greets everyone energetically and low profile.

The face-to-face practice area was full of U-15 Japanese players and coaches.

"Long time no see, Nolu Kota."

"Ah! Thank you in Tressen the other day!

U-15 The ninth person in the example of the representative of Japan came to greet me.

He remembered me against him in Tresen. Wow, that's impressive.

"I knew you were in fifth grade then... nice to meet you"

"It's really a big deal not to be called to the U-15 representative in Japan. Say hello."

The other delegates came to greet me one after the other.

He was a killer at the practice game, but this time he treats me like a gentleman.

Football is still a gentleman's sport. Representatives rely on your brother's impression.

"It's Hyoma Sawamura. Likewise I came from Hiromae Riverillo. Greetings."

The leopard you came with was greeting me, too.

As cool as ever, it's a cool greeting.

"That Sawamura Hyoma... nice to meet you"

"It's been since the Junior Accommodation. Greetings."

The reps will greet you, too, Hyoma.

I think I know some people.

After all, Hyoma, who has walked an elite course, is also known in the Japanese class.

He's still amazing.

"Uh, that's enough greetings. Let's practice and make sure we work with the new members. It's a practice game this afternoon."

"" "Yes, coach!

Head coach's decree makes the practice a start.

Team practice this morning for the sleepover.

They say the afternoon is a practice game with high school students.

"Are you having a practice game with that high school?

I'm surprised to hear the opponent's high school name.

The opponent is also famous for being mighty in high school football. I've won national high school championships before.

"We represent U-15 Japan. That's why I'm dealing with high school students."

"I see, well. Thank you."

During the practice, I am convinced by someone number 9 explaining to me.

This team is the highest member of Japanese middle school students. In other words, junior high school students don't have each other's practice partners.

So practice games are mainly opponents of mighty high school student teams and youth teams under the age of 18 on the J-League team.

It's a practice match with people older than ourselves that empowers the team.

"But if you're in middle school and high school, aren't there too many physical differences?

"Some U-15 representatives overseas have stronger physical skills than Japanese high school students. Just right for the practice guy."

I see, is that what you mean?

Indeed, the physical of a foreign footballer is an unimaginable strength.

In Japan, where there are many relatively small players, they have been consciously practicing abroad since U-15.

"Besides, there are some amazing guys in Japan who were in junior high school with each other in the fifth grade."

"Huh?"

"Come on, let's focus on practice. Head coach is a hell of an ear!

At the end of the day, I feel like I was saying something.

But I have to concentrate on practice.

Anyway, I participate in the delegates in a special frame.

The meaning of the special framework is unclear, but it probably feels like a test run.

If I had an unserious practice attitude, I would likely be ordered to return home quickly.

I need to practice harder than usual.

(Nevertheless, the U-15 representative of Japan... don't really study!

Inspiring as you practice.

I often learn more than I imagined.

(Confirmation of Team Practice and Tactics... Practice in Opportunity Occasions... I see, is that what you mean)

I get noticed while practicing.

In the accommodation of U-15 Japanese delegates in this era, they mainly collaborated on teams.

We will thoroughly infiltrate the team with our tactics as representatives.

Bring the consciousness of all together.

(Individual practice gives its own assignments...?

On the other hand, little practice is done to improve an individual's skills.

You'll be practicing when you get back to your team, giving your own assignments.

The number of days that all U-15 Japanese delegates meet is not so much in the course of the year.

In any case, the main business of a representative athlete is junior high school students.

I usually go to compulsory secondary school and have to study.

Practice with your team again after school.

You must also participate in the team's competitions on weekends and holidays.

Hard schedules would be the norm in such age-specific representative classes.

They will be using it for team development in a limited amount of time for this purpose.

◇

"All right, time. Let's start the practice game!

"" "Yes, coach!

It will be the afternoon and it will be time for a practice game.

Play against the high school team that came all the way here.

"Wow... you're all big... and you have amazing muscles..."

I put the high school kids in front of me, and I accidentally lose my word.

He says he's over 180 cm tall.

Some U-15 Japanese delegates are bigger if only taller.

But the high school kids have a different way of building muscles all over their bodies.

The thickness of your feet and neck is more than once greater than that of a junior high. Plus the chest plate is thick.

My coach, Hiromae Riverillo, is also tall.

But he is already the uncle of the Thirty Ways. If you have beer bellies, your muscles are fading.

I'm still physically different from these active high school athletes.

I was only in fifth grade, and I had to open my mouth and look up.

"Representative Coach, do you have a minute?

"What's up?

"Those kids... they're in elementary school, right?

The director of the high school team looks strange and asks the head coach.

“Those kids” and stabbed him in the finger. The one ahead is about me and Leopard.

"They're in fifth grade. By policy, U-15 is fine if you are under 15."

"Well... haha..."

The head coach was responding calmly. The high school supervisor was laughing bitterly.

"Hey, even in fifth grade..."

"What, are you serious?

"Half our age?

The high school students go out of their way to exchange head coaches and directors.

This reaction is the same as yesterday, so me and Leopard were used to it.

They're about eighteen, and I'm only ten. Speaking of which, I'm about half my age. It's a great difference between years to think calmly.

"Don't think of these guys as normal elementary school kids."

There were people who said something to such high school students.

"We also met these two in Tressen the other day with painful eyes."

"As head coach says, no doubt two U-15 delegates"

"Play a game and you'll see."

They were U-15 delegates.

He's complaining to the high school students who were licking elementary school students. You protected us.

And he admits so much about you and me, Hyoma.

I don't know what the hell happened.

Hmm? It's like this exchange was there before...

Maybe it's your fault.

"Okay, we don't have time. Let's start the practice game!

That's it for the chat.

The game begins with a signal from the head coach.

"U-15 stands for VS Mighty High School Team"

Looks like today's practice game is going to be the same as the international rules.

They're adjusting for another international tournament next week.

"Athletes keep switching. Just like the real deal!

The head coach has instructed me during the game.

There were currently 30 U-15 Japanese delegates.

They're going to be in a total replacement state because there are no restrictions on shifts in practice games. All members must be willing to compete.

In further international matches from among the thirty, it is necessary to decide to bench in.

As a result, these practice matches were secretly combined with selection exams to bench in.

"Oh wow! Oh, that play is amazing too!

I started the bench, and I was cheering as I watched the game.

Even though it was a practice game, both teams were in the mood.

The high school team bets their pride as older people.

This one was betting his pride as the representative of Japan for the U-15.

We all play quite a lot of bees for real.

As the head coach put it, it will again be an exercise for next week's international game.

The U-15 people are particularly temperamental.

"Sawamura, Nolu. Here we go. Keep it up."

"" Yes, coach!

We had a voice.

Finally, as a U-15 representative, the time has come to debut.

But even when it comes to debating, Unihome is for normal practice.

I guess that Hinomaru samurai blue is only at the time of the real game.

I feel like I just ate a little shoulder watermark.

"Leopard, let's do our best!

"Oh, it's time to show off our power."

He will change players and the two of us will head to the pitch of the arena.

There's only ten minutes left in the game.

For this minute, we won't be able to make a big deal out of it.

But I'm going to do everything I can.

It's a special player frame, so it's next week's production, and it's unlikely you'll be able to bench in.

That's why we do the best we can at practice games so that we don't have any remorse.

(Well, I could see the athletes moving, and they're in good physical shape. Let's do our best)

Thus a practice game with a high school student team. In the last ten minutes, we ran.

◇

Ten minutes later. The practice game ends successfully.

"Two on two..."

Exhale as you look at the game results.

It was only ten minutes, but it was a really good time.

Pass-turn with high level teammates. The through-pass of finding the opponent's gap, etc.

I had a nervous, meaningful time.

"Mr. Hyoma, that was a nice goal!

What a score you were putting in just before the game ended.

He scored a goal brilliantly, breaking through high school defenses like giants.

"Coata was a nice pass, as always."

"Yeah, thanks"

I was the one who gave the last pass.

I was just able to find a gap and give them a pass.

In fact, it was a game against an unfamiliar old man, who struggled for the first five minutes or so.

But the experience of practicing with middle school students in Tressen managed to modify the play.

No matter what the older guys are up against, they have two legs and only one ball.

Even fifth grade students can handle it.

After the game, we will focus on the head coach and have a reflection for everyone.

We're going to unify everyone's consciousness as we look at the footage we've recorded.

"Hey, what's this first half of play? ⁉"

"Why not go much further here ⁉"

Is that...?

Something's wrong with the coaches' faces.

Besides, there are a lot of tough things to say because of the reflection.

'The only good move I had was the last ten minutes, ⁉'

'This is not going to happen. We're going to miss the next international match!

After all, yes.

It was a pretty tough reflection.

The U-15 delegates also have a pretty dark look.

Even when it comes to generation-by-generation representation, they are still a multitude of junior high school students. I was pretty depressed mentally.

After that, it will be a reflection session and another joint practice on the team.

To correct the weaknesses pointed out, consciously by all.

Weaknesses are improved to some extent by the practice.

But there was a dark shadow in the faces of the players and the coaches.

◇

The first day of the delegate's accommodation ends.

"I'm really tired today! Tomorrow I'll ask you again Yorosik!

In the locker room, I greet the players.

She looks fine in fifth grade and smiles clearly.

"Oh......"

"Good day, Coata"

Is that it? The athletes weren't well yet.

It is apparently a tone that is still dragging on the matter of earlier reflections.

The locker room was dark and heavy, like an overnight stay.

"Hey, that's pathetic. Is this the level of U-15 representation?

"Mr. Hyoma..."

Leopard you bark at those middle school students.

Where did your pride as a representative of Japan go? Ask.

It is a rare expression that pushes the fighting spirit forward.

"Guys, I'm sorry. Hyoma, I don't think you have any offense either."

"It's okay, Coata. Sawamura's right."

The representative's number nine man came into the brokerage.

A player who is one of the best of these and whose regulars are confirmed. He's a leader.

"You also know what it's like to be in the U-15 rep. We've been rumored to be the" bottom generation "and we're the next generation..."

"" Bottom generation "?... Ah!

In the words of number nine, I remembered.

Knowledge of football in previous life has been vividly revived.

(Right. These people were ano "bottom generation" people...)

We are talking about the future in the next three years.

These people grow into U-18 Japanese representatives.

But it will continue to lose a series of historic, huge losses in international matches that year.

"The weakest generation in Japanese football" and people with a future beaten from all over Japan.
