Amateur Old Man, Enjoy Reborn Football Life (Booked)

Episode 38: The Third National Convention

The month has passed since I returned to Japan.

The season was in the late December winter of fifth grade.

"Wow. As always, you're an amazing number of people!

I am excited about the enthusiasm of the first national tournament I've visited in a year.

Yes... The all-Japan boys' soccer tournament started again this year and our team arrived at the venue.

"I knew Kagoshima would be warm even in the winter of December."

Also this year, the venue is the sports center of Kagoshima Prefecture.

Players and associates from teams from 48 provinces, gathered from all over the country. With the enthusiasm of more than a thousand people in total, the venue was busy.

"Oh, you have a new booth this year? Oh, is that ball an exclusive? I want it!"

The festive atmosphere surrounds the venue of the National Convention this year.

Sponsored event booth tents lined up with various experience corners.

Third participation this year. For me, a soccer boy and a soccer geek, it's a dream space.

I walk past a dream space like that and head up to the ground with everyone on the team.

Keep your body warm before the game.

"Hey, is that...?

"Oh yeah..."

"Last year's..."

"It's Hirosaki Liberillo..."

upon arrival in the Upground.

Hmm?

Somehow people around us are gathering their eyes.

Plus, it's a hissohisso story, and I feel like they're saying something.

Maybe I was acting embarrassed?

I'll make sure it doesn't have a bird hun on it or my back.

"Coata, it's not you, it's the team that's getting noticed."

"Ah, Captain. Right, you know what?"

I forgot, we were champions of last year's national tournament.

That's why they would have gotten the attention of the teams around them.

I'm glad I'm not a bird hun.

Nevertheless, I've never seen so much attention from around me.

Even J-League's prestigious junior team is looking at us.

Everyone on the other team was in the mood before the game. Pretty steep and nervous air.

The gaze of attention pierces me like a needle. My intentions have become noisy and disturbing my mind.

"Ugh..."

"Something... hard to do..."

Everyone in Riverillo was breathing in the harsh air.

The unique air of the National Convention had drank me.

This is a bad situation.

If you're under so much pressure before the game, your concentration will rub off.

We have to do something.

"Hey!"

It is then.

The leopard you were with opens his mouth.

At the same time, he kicks the ball into momentum, heading for the goal for practice.

The ball hits the goal post with great momentum as it is, bouncing back to your feet, Hyoma.

"Su, wow, it's shooting power..."

"The post is still shaking..."

"Besides, have you seen the controls? That sucks......"

"Stupid...... did you kick for it...?

Grand attention at once.

By then, Hyoma, your shooting was amazing.

Metal goalposts are trembling, intense shooting force. He came back for more, precise control.

"He's the last Sawamura leopard of the scoring king..."

"Even though I was an elementary school student, I was chosen to represent U-15 Japan...

"I scored a total of five points in international matches..."

To your awesome shooting, the players around you lose their word.

He shut up the field with just one shot.

"Come on, Captain. Let's make it up."

"Oh. Thanks, Sawamura. All right, let's go, guys!

"" "Yes, Captain!

Thanks to you, Hyoma, the team returns to its usual atmosphere.

He was safely released from the pressure noted at the National Convention.

For this minute everyone will be able to exert their original power. I'm so glad.

"For everyone's sake, thank you, Mr. Hyoma. As always, that's amazing!

"Hmm. Even if I didn't do it, I guess Coata was doing something, right?

"Eh heh... did you find out"

I was also trying to move to free my teammates from the pressure.

Apparently, Hyoma found out.

In any case, in extreme tension, football cannot exert its original power.

After an international match, I knew how scared I was.

"By the way, Coata. You think we can win this national tournament in a row?

"Continuous championship? Uh..."

Hyoma asks me while I practice my pass.

As I practice, I observe other teams around me.

That's each team that has won until the national tournament.

Everywhere looks pretty strong.

"Um, maybe I'm not sure. But let's have fun."

To be honest, this year's National Convention did not collect prior information.

I was all over the Japanese delegates and I worked hard.

Rather, we might have been more nervous when our team challenged the district and provincial competitions.

After finishing the provincial tournament and returning from the Japanese delegate, this past month.

I have purely encouraged teammates to practice independently and teamwork.

I've been practicing as if I had no heart, so I forgot to gather information.

"'I'm not sure'? But that sounds more like a coata."

"Yeah, maybe. I feel like I can relax and have fun this time."

I've always been nervous at last year's national tournament.

It was on fire with the goal of defeating a strong enemy in the final.

I was only in the mood for that, but I feel like I had less of a mind to enjoy football.

"Everyone on the team is growing this year and I think we can have some fun football"

The finish of this year's team was more than expected in advance.

Observe the teammates practicing up.

First and foremost, the captains sixth graders are wearing national class defense.

In addition, three people were selected for the prefecture of Tressen, and their personality skills are high.

Next in fifth grade.

Other than us, the fifth graders had grown considerably.

They have several people on the bench as regulars.

He also has a high level of personality and is also a candidate for District or Provincial Tresen next year.

Finally, fourth grade.

The juniors were working hard.

No one has yet been the first regulator, but everyone had grown rapidly since April.

Even at this national tournament, he said it was an operation that fourth graders would put out for experience as well for winning games.

It was already working this year for next year.

If you look at it this way, the overall strength of Hirosaki Riveriro is quite high.

"Hey, brother! Did you see the path to Aoi now?

Speaking of which, among the fourth graders, I forgot one special player.

"Yeah. Awesome, Aoi"

I unleashed a beautiful chute in the up-ground, about my sister's sunflower.

She is a girl and a fourth grader, but a regular player in the immobility of Hiroshi Riveriro.

"Eh heh...... your brother praised me. Aoi, I'll do my best for the team even in the game!

Sunflower had grown rapidly in an incredible position over the past two months.

The previous sunflower was somewhat more of an individual play.

But now it wasn't just about offense, it was about making games.

Me and Leopard, you represent, the hole in the team when you weren't there. Would it be the conscious effect of a desperate attempt to bury it?

I was starting to play for the team with dedication.

"Ah, but I'll do my best for your brother!

Apparently, the sweet thing is, it wasn't fixed yet.

When I'm around, I get really childish.

But for as long as I'm back in the command tower, Aoi can focus on the attack.

Even this national tournament will be a magnificent play and will produce a mass score.

"Hey, Coata. Don't look around!

"Sorry, Mr. Hyoma. Hmm? What's the pass now...?

The leopard you were practicing with gave me some amazing passes.

At first glance, it's a normal pass, but the will came from you, Hyoma.

I put my next play on the ball, it was a near perfect pass.

"Hmm. In international games, passes were important, too. Even the pass won't beat the Courta."

"I see. That's you, Leopard."

Speaking of which, I forgot the most amazing player in Hiroshi Riverillo.

I hate losing more than anyone, the shadow practitioner, even though I'm full of talent like this.

The “Emperor" of the team's super ace, Hyoma Sawamura.

By the way, I don't know what I'm capable of, so I'll exclude you from the force discussion this time.

I just have to play as hard as I always do.

"Play hard this year and have fun...... let's win a row!

"Coata. As always, you're a diagrammatically thick nerve. Oh. Do you want me to kick your ass?"

My third national tournament started with such a good vibe.

The national tournament is a qualifying league by 48 teams.

It is a tournament battle to sixteen teams that have won it out.

In total, we won three days of fierce battles, the last two teams… we can get tickets to the fourth day of the final.

In the meantime.

We were successfully victorious over Hirosaki Riverillo.

And finally, the pawn moves on to the final.

Pippy!

Whistle at the end of the final game echoes the grass pitch.

The game results are a three-on-one victory for Hiroshima Riverillo.

We were able to win the national tournament in a row.

When you're done, four days in between.

But all the fighting went on, and it was a really rough four days.

It was a really fun day.

"Hmm... this year, there's really been a lot going on..."

I look up to the winter sky in the finals arena.

Team's new year attitude and first juniors.

Join the National Tresen Accommodation for the first time.

And extremely, the convocation to U-15 Japan and the challenge to international matches.

In retrospect now, it's been a really dark year.

"Since April next year, I'm in sixth grade too... that's early..."

This is how we were able to decorate the final game of the year, the National Games, with endless beauty.
