Amateur Old Man, Enjoy Reborn Football Life (Booked)

The final of the national tournament comes to an end.

After that, just like last year, it was a bumpy schedule.

After the closing ceremony, we, Hirosaki Liberillo, get a lot of press coverage.

It was quite a few, including TV and radio, football magazines and online news.

The coach and captain, leopard of the competition scoring king, and the women's MVP sunflower (ahoy) were also interviewed this year.

On the other hand, I didn't have any personal interviews this year.

But I won't have a choice.

In order to take advantage of the offensive leopard, you and Sunflower Two-Top, I have been very supportive on the team.

As for playing style, thoroughly mark the other team's ace and take the ball away.

He carried the ball as it was and was aware of the play connecting to the two tops.

Same as before for "play with a rush”.

This style of play really makes me plain.

I liked it a lot, but it's too plain.

Let's explore a slightly different style of play next year.

◇

Such a bumpy closing ceremony is over. Take the plane and go back to our house in the northeast.

Even after I got home, I've been very busy this year.

The day I came back was the night of December 29th. It will be New Year's Eve soon.

December 30th.

The next day after the closing ceremony I went home.

Again this evening, we had a dinner party with the team, the coaches and the players' parents.

The store is the usual local family barbecue shop. Everyone loves all-you-can-eat shops.

Congratulations on winning the National Convention in a row!

So we all made a lot of fun noise.

The kids drank the juice and ate the grilled meat.

What a celebration this year as a winning streak, dessert for grilled meat and sushi. Furthermore, the ramen was all-you-can-eat.

Growing up, we enjoyed eating to the point where our bellies were about to burst.

◇

December 31st.

The next day is New Year's Eve.

Last day of the year, but I was still busy.

I got a team interview with a local newspaper and TV.

And this year, we even had TV coverage on the national broadcast.

It felt like the coach and captain were used to talking about the secrets of the national tournament.

By the way, Hyoma, you've been a family member since this morning, on a trip to the Mediterranean.

It is an international trip to the Sawamura family during the usual New Year. It's as rich as ever.

Of course the Normal Common Nolu family spends their normal New Year at home.

But this year, my family also had more fancy dishes.

Me and Aoi worked so hard, my parents prepared it for me.

This was a pleasant surprise.

I'm going to have a bumpy end of the year like that as usual.

◇

January

Not long after, the year dawned, and a new year arrived.

January of the new year is, as always, a soccer pickling day.

Voluntary and team practice. It was a series of practice matches to participate in the Games.

Beginning in April, it will be a new team structure.

By then, we'll be building up the team's overall strength.

◇

"All right, then we'll start the game! Both teams, line up."

"" "Yes, coach!

Such a January, one day.

We were gathered on the practice field by Hirosaki Riverillo.

All of his athlete courses from fourth through sixth grade, he was a huge gathering.

"We're going to start this year's retirement game. Thank you, both teams!

"" "Thank you!

Today is Hiroshi Riverillo's biggest ceremony of January, “Sixth Grade Retirement Match” day.

That's why my sixth grade parents were also here at the practice field to watch the game.

"Okay, you guys. Just because the sixth grader is the other guy, don't hesitate."

"" "Yes, coach. Of course!" "

All of us "sending out the team” answer the coach with a smile.

Riverillo, Hiromae's retirement match is every year.

Sixth Grade Team (Retired Side) VS Fourth and Fifth Grade Team (Sending Side)

was a confrontation.

"All right, let's go!

"Oh!"

"We'll give you six years of power, junior!

The game begins.

Sixth grade was in the mood.

Early in the start, he hits a goal for the fourth and fifth grade team.

We'll do everything we can to prevent it.

"Now it's our turn! Come on, guys!

"Oh, Coata"

"Yeah! Brother!

Now it's our turn to attack.

The 4th and 5th grade teams also turn to offense.

I'm going to attack you & Aoi mainly. I'll be working with my fourth- and fifth-grade teammates to carry the ball.

But I can't attack my opponent's goal.

"Wow! Seniors, don't be serious! It's sloppy!"

The Sixth Grade team has been laying down defenses with a bee.

It's an interactive retirement match, but it's not a big deal.

"Sweet, Coata!

"That's right! At the end of the day, we need to show our classmates what they mean!

"I've been looking after Kota and Sawamura for five years. Today's the day I'm gonna make you cry!

The earnest sixth grade defense team, they weren't half. Even with us, it's not easy to break down.

That's the defense of the second consecutive national tournament champion, Hiromae Liberillo, sixth grader.

To be honest, I feel more like a stiff defensive team than my opponent in last month's final.

Turning to the enemy, I never thought it would be more troublesome.

"All right, I took the ball!

"We'll attack next!

"I'll show you where six years isn't just about defense!

A strong defensive team will rob the fourth graders of the ball.

Sixth graders come at the counter for a total offense.

Neither DF (defender) nor GK (goalkeeper) matters. We've all been attacking.

"Hey, seniors. ⁉ Is there such an operation?

Too bold an ambush tactic. Everyone is taken away from you.

Without being able to prevent it, the sixth graders stick to the goal net, remaining in a dough state.

It is unique to a retirement match with no offsides, and it is a rare play.

"Ha ha... sweet, Coata!

"Don't take a sweet look at our sixth grade brains!

He scored a dough state goal and the sixth grader had a doya face. These are really unadulterated seniors.

"If the seniors are going to... let's go, Mr. Hyoma!

"Shit. I don't have a choice."

Having saved my strength so far, I decided to take it seriously.

"Operation to make seniors have flowers because it's a retirement match"...... is canceled.

Working with you, Hyoma... with the moves you have acquired in the U-15 delegate, I will attack you with all my might.

"Hey, you're a coward, Coata ⁉"

"Congratulations on the air of the retirement match!

On an unmanned sixth grade goal, we shoot fast.

Now the same point.

Ha ha... seniors.

I've set up a sloppy operation ahead of me, because that's it. I'm not bad at all.

"Okay, I don't choose the means by which this happened. Hey, guys. Everybody, come on in the pitch!

"Whoa! Let's go!

"It's a heavenly punishment for the busy juniors!

Sometimes, everyone in sixth grade came into the arena.

These are eight guys who followed the rules, but they've been attacking all sixteen sixth graders.

This is not good for boulders.

"Okay! Then this is the" strongest helper ”... coach, please!

"Hey, Coata. I'm a referee, aren't I?

"Coach, you can have no more referees." I'm hungry on Thirty Roads now, but I've even been to national competitions in college! strength 'now, show me!

"What, that weird Ada name... well, I can't help it..."

The coach laughs and joins our team.

There is no stamina in the coach of Thirty Roads, but he had the power of an overwhelming adult. This will benefit our 4th and 5th grade team.

"Coata, it's sloppy! That would be a violation of the coach, though!

"Okay, then we'll... Dad, please!

"Right! Dad, help me out here!

To the parents who were coming to watch the retirement game, the sixth grade team asks for reinforcements.

Some six-year fathers also have middle and high school football experience.

This is a shitty, pretty tough formation.

"Okay, game time is extended! Until we can't run, it's an extension!

"" "Yes, coach!

The original retirement game time was long over.

But at the suggestion of the coach, I'm going to extend the time further. Unlimited Battle Royale.

When this happened, it was no longer a beautiful game.

Joining the entire athlete course and their parents and even their coaches, they don't even know who's on the enemy's side.

Anyway, we're just going to have to shoot to the enemy's goal, it's just a chaotic situation.

"That's so sloppy ⁉"

"Ha ha... This is a special, all goalkeeper's technique, Coata!

"Then this one is the art of splitting balls!

Ali's state of anything anymore. The last one was not even a football game anymore.

We were all taking the ball away from each other and shooting the ball together.

It was a muddy game that I don't think was a retirement match for a team that won a very national tournament in a row.

I'm so glad there's no one in the press. It's a tragedy.

But it was a really fun game.

It was a game where everyone laughed with their bellies and everyone was playing with all their strength.

It's like the first time I touched the ball, like that childhood...... everyone was purely enjoying football.

It was truly a good time from the heart.

◇

"All right, sixth grade, align!

"" "Yes!

Such a dream fun retirement match also ends in no time.

After the game, with a coach's voice, the sixth graders align themselves on the practice field.

"Even if you go to middle school, good luck!

"Yes! Thank you for six years so far!

Coach to sixth grade, the ball is handed to me.

That's the official ball of the size used in middle school students. They go up the adult stairs.

Coaches hand the ball politely one by one with several years of memories.

"I go to middle school, but I keep playing football!

"Thank you for everything!

"Coach taught me a lot!

Sixth graders also turn to their coaches to convey their thoughts.

Elementary junior football is eight-person.

So many sixth graders, who had sixteen, leaked from regulars at the National Convention.

I watched such out-of-the-box seniors weep in shade.

"Me, I couldn't be a regular at the end of the day, but I'll keep football going!

"When I become a regular in middle school, I'll come and show my coach!

But even as an alternate, there was no one among his predecessors who would perish.

As a supporter, they did everything they could to support us as regular players.

And even at the national tournament games, he was louder for me than anyone else.

The seniors cheered pushed our athletes' backs more than any support.

As a football player...... as one sportsman...... as a senior, Hiro Riveriro's sixth graders were all hot people.

"Coata... I asked for the rest"

"Yes...... Captain"

After all the rituals are over, shake hands with the captain.

This brings the whole retirement game to an end.

The team will only have us in fifth grade and junior fourth grade.

The retirement of the seniors, who have so far struggled as a defensive imperative. To be honest, from April, I'm only worried about what happens.

Every year, though. At the end of the retirement game, I feel really lonely.

I feel like I have a big hole in my heart.

"Huh? Is that it, Captain? What's this?

From the captain who shook my hand, I'm handed something.

It was a fluorescent yellow captain band.

Why did the captain give me such an important thing?

"The next captain... Courta, it's you. This is between us and our coaches in sixth grade."

"Yes! Huh? I... Captain...?

The touching retirement match thus closed the curtain.

But at the end of the day, something happens.

I've been named the team's spiritual pillar… the "new captain”.
