Amateur Old Man, Enjoy Reborn Football Life (Booked)

Episode 50: After the World Congress

The final of the “U-12 World Cup” is over.

After that it was a bumpy schedule.

The award ceremony went straight to the stadium.

We were able to receive medals and trophies on the tallest platform.

After the awards ceremony, the team received a lot of media coverage.

Surprisingly surrounded by foreign TV and football magazines and online news.

The interpreter was handled by someone from the Japan Football Association, so I managed.

After being interviewed on the team, move on to the interview personally.

Especially the three I was receiving were Coach and Games MVP leopard, my sister Aoi.

Aoi was the only female participant in the tournament and was interviewed for being a regular on the winning team.

It is also a cute look for Japanese girls, so it would be popular with foreign interviewers.

"Hmm... wait for it to end again"

When I finished my interview as team captain, I waited alone.

By the way, I don't have any personal coverage.

Since no individual awards have been made at the Games now, there will be no choice in this either.

"Hey, Coata."

That's when I can speak to someone in Spanish.

"Ah, Serbio, you!

It has been the boy in a Spanish uniform who has spoken out. It was Serbio Garcia from Ace.

I answer in Spanish for everyday conversation.

"Coata, once again, congratulations on winning"

"Congratulations, Serbio, on your semi-finals too, and scoring king!

The Spanish delegate was at all costs a semi-finalist, but Serbio personally had been honored in the Games scoring king.

He won the King of the Scoring Award for his overwhelming score margin against you, the second-largest Hyoma.

"Is that it? Speaking of which, Serbio, have you finished your interview yet?

Serbio, the scoring king, had the best coverage from the press after the awards ceremony.

Hat tricks were achieved in all but the final games.

There is no way the media in each country can leave it alone.

"Oh, and then the manager of the team is doing it."

I see.

If it's also a prestigious team he belongs to, is there a manager for the press?

That's right, it's a Spanish representative with a lot of football.

"Don't Coata have personal coverage?

'Right. Look, because my play feels plain'. '

Just for the record, I don't have the glamour to play.

It's basically like playing defense these days, playing game-making.

I haven't hated hitting shoots for a long time.

But there are two natural strikers on the team, you and Aoi.

So I've been in a plain position since fourth grade or so.

I was very supportive of you and Aoi, the leopard shining like the sun.

'I see, is that why? But Coata is a great player! Even at his age in Europe, he's one of those rare players!

"What... when you praise me so much, Serbio, don't light something up..."

It was just the finest compliment from a future superstar.

My heart is beating like never before.

'But Coata. You must have more talent for attack. Why don't you just take it seriously?

'What? Even if they say that, I'm gonna be serious...'

I lose my word to the point.

I've been playing for real.

Whether it was practice or a game, you should have always had your whole body out.

'I see. Maybe Coata doesn't realize how amazing she really is. "

Serbio, you were a pretty serious look. Doesn't look like you're joking.

But how awesome am I really...

Is there really such a thing?

I stare at my right leg. [M]

Give yourself a leg, a partner you can count on in this world.

'By the way, that's a different story, but when is Cota coming to Europe?

"What, I'm in Europe?

'Oh, yeah. To grow as talented as you are, you should join a European team. That's early, too.'

That was just a suggestion.

I never dreamed of that.

Or a regular Japanese soccer elementary school student joining a European team.

It was impossible in this day and age.

'I see... well, okay. Then you can trade me. "

"What... give me the uniform ⁉"

After the exact proposal, it was a further proposal.

A post-match uniform exchange is proposed by Serbio.

Precious Junior uniform for future superstars. That's what I'm being offered right now.

'Yeah! Happy!

I take off my uniform and trade it for Serbio.

This is the first time a uniform from Hirosaki Riveriro has crossed abroad.

"Thank you, Serbio! And then I want you to write your autograph here. '

My autograph? I've never written it, but is it okay with you by name?

'Yeah, you can name it!

From the last lesson, Signpen always carried it with him.

Have future superstar Serbio Garcia write his first autograph.

With an unscrupulous gesture, Serbio signs his name to the uniform.

Yeah. This is really real.

It resembles the signature of an adult Serbio Garcia seen in footage from a previous life.

Well, it's the person who wrote it, so is it natural to resemble it?

'Bye, Coata. It's time for me to go back. I'm going to go back to Spain and practice again every day. "

'Right. Same goes for me. "

"Football boys are everywhere in the world, you're with them."

'Right, Serbio!

The time has finally come for a goodbye.

Make a uniform exchange and say goodbye.

Each returns to their own team.

'Also, let's play somewhere...... no let's play soccer, Courta!

'Yeah...... let's play soccer again, Mr. Serbio!

The distance between Japan and Spain is about 10,000 km.

Normally it is difficult to meet again.

But football is a sport loved and played all over the world.

If we continue to strive for each other's heights, it is up to us to get there.

Possible reunions at the World Games, the World Cup and the Olympics.

Football gives everyone an equal dream.

"Hmm. Now, let's say I'm back on the team..."

Leopard was done covering you and your coach.

I decided to join the team.

It was only two days, but this is how the U-12 World Cup closed its doors.

I've been bummed ever since.

The next day of the final was a free day for only one day.

It is a winning celebratory sightseeing.

First, he coached with twelve people in Hirosaki Riverillo for a tour of the city of Paris.

We all went down the river on the Seine to see the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe.

We had delicious French food for dinner. We all struggled with knives and forks.

After that, we go to a football game.

The place is that stadium where we played the final yesterday.

The game was a league match for the French professional league "League Ann”.

The stadium, buried with the enthusiastic support of 50,000 people, was truly amazing.

The stadium was shaking like a different space from when we played.

We are also enthusiastic about high-level League Anne games, after which we return to the hotel.

It was really the best day I ever had with my people.

The next day will be the whole day of travel.

The return will be the action of the whole team and their families together.

We will take over the international flight to return to Japan first.

Arriving at Haneda Airport in Japan, I bid farewell here to someone from the Football Association who took care of me.

Next, switch to a domestic flight for a local airport.

When we arrived at the local airfield, the team's microbus was waiting for us.

Get off in front of your own house by microbus and go home safely.

My parents were with me on the way home, and I'm going home with four members of my family.

From Paris to home, the massive journey of about 10,000 km will be successfully completed.

My exhausted sister's sunflower had been bursting asleep on the microbus.

Starting tomorrow, we have to go to elementary school again.

My parents carry the sunflower (ahoy) straight to bed.

"Ugh, it's finally over..."

I also take a breath and enter my own futon of nostalgia.

Voluntary practice and stretching of the routine before bed is, of course, not lacking.

"Oh, you're really done with the U-12 World Cup..."

While in the futon, get the winning medal.

That's where I first got a feeling.

We could have won an international tournament.

In my last year of elementary school, I realise I had a hell of an experience.

(Starting tomorrow, practice again in the morning, go to school, practice after school, practice games on weekends...)

If I had thought that, my eyelids (eyelids) would have closed at some point.

He had a winning medal in his hand and fell into his dreams.

Thus all the dates of the “U-12 World Cup” will be successfully completed.

My new soccer days will begin tomorrow.
