Amateur Old Man, Enjoy Reborn Football Life (Booked)

Episode 58: Middle School Football Study Abroad Edition Start!

It will be April. I'm a freshman in middle school.

Just because I'm in middle school, I've never been particularly different.

It is, as always, a soccer pickling day.

"Father, I'm going to practice in the morning!

"Be careful, Coata."

I leave the house at 6: 00 in the morning and head to the neighborhood park.

Before I go to school, it's to play soccer morning practice.

"Okay, you're not doing so well today."

While practicing alone, I check my senses.

I was in middle school and growing tall.

As we practice in the morning, we modify the feeling of the body that has grown.

Failure to do so also risked falling into the unique ramp of the growing season.

So far, my senses have been fine.

Growing bodies and senses are linked.

Even more stretched hands and legs allowed for new techniques.

"Gutenmorgen, Courta!

"Good morning...... Gutenmorgen!

Exchange greetings with neighbors in the park.

She's a neighbor's aunt who meets face to face every morning.

(I knew Morning Ichi would really say it in Japanese...)

Yeah. No. I'm in middle school, and I've changed a lot.

"This is Germany, so we need to hold on"

Yes... I was coming to Germany in Europe.

I was studying in Europe, as declared in January.

Finish your morning practice and go home to the house you owe me.

"What do you say, Coata? Are you used to this school over here?

"So far, so good."

Have dinner with your father who lives with you.

It was his father's responsibility to cook breakfast in Germany.

I'll have a German breakfast. [M]

Yeah, it's delicious today.

"Speaking of which, Mom and Aoi were texting me."

"Really, Father? Let me see... Oh, it's got pictures."

My mother and sister remained at my parents' house in Japan.

At first, he said, 'Aoi also lives in Germany with his brother!' My sister also said.

But I still decided to ask the elementary school sunflower to stay in Japan.

"Oops, the sunflower marks the captain..."

Among the pictures sent was the appearance of a sunflower uniform.

It was the sight of Hirosaki Riveriro marking him as captain and playing a practice game.

To the sunflower who said he wanted to go to Germany, I said, 'I can only leave my missing team to the sunflower. I asked for it!' I have entrusted it.

Appointed him as the new captain and convinced him to stay in Japan.

Looking at the pictures, the new system seems to be working.

I can tell by the look on the face of the new team.

Focusing on the new captain's sunflower, he also prevailed in practice matches.

"Aoi and your mother look fine!

"Right, you can't lose the dads! Ha ha ha..."

A cheerful father's laugh brightens up the house.

The Nolu family was to live apart with men and women.

But I managed to be okay, focusing on my positive father.

"Well, you're going to school!

"Watch your car, Coata."

Morning preparations are over and we leave for school.

Leaving the house with a bag and a soccer ball.

"Okay. Today, let's practice dribbling!

I go to school dribbling down the road to school.

The city is quite rural among Germany.

The neighborhood kids were also in the back alley, playing football.

Imitating that, I decided to go to school while I was dribbling.

I'm going to pick a back street that won't let the car through for safety.

"And the cobblestone drill is hard..."

The city is a cultural city with a history.

Unlike Japan, the old cobblestone had become the city's public highway.

Especially back alleys with lots of decomposed cobblestones.

Dribbling through here was quite challenging.

I can't even predict where the ball will bounce.

"But don't be a great practice!

Concentrate all nerves and preface the ball movement.

I will open up my judgment and future forecasts.

Even when you go to school, it's a lot of practice.

When I was in Japan, I refrained from going to school in Dribble.

But football is a normal sight in this country town.

That is Europe, where the football culture has taken root.

This alone made it worth coming to Germany.

While he was enthusiastic and dribbling, he arrived at school.

"Good morning, everyone!

In German, as usual, say hello well.

"Good morning, Coata!

"You're doing great today, Coata!

My classmate returns my greetings in the classroom.

I enrolled in a local school.

So most of my classmates are Germans.

(I didn't know German, which I had studied in my previous life, would help in a place like this...)

I had mastered German to the extent of everyday conversation.

During my previous life as a salarier, German was an essential workplace at work.

That's why I was desperately mastering watching German football in my previous life.

Since January, when I decided to study in Germany, I had also reviewed the language.

So even if it's not Japanese school, I'm fine.

"Hey, did Coata even play football in Japan?

'I've always kicked soccer balls, but how good are you?

Interact with classmates before class.

That's a country where football flourishes.

Having a soccer ball makes it easy to interact.

"Since I was a little girl in Japan, I've been playing football. How good are you...... pumped?

Explain deceptively to your classmates.

The truth is, "I became a Japanese champion in elementary school! 'I want to brag.

But suddenly, even if you slap a big mouth, it's embarrassing if you fail later.

This is Germany, a football giant.

I'm going to be humble when it comes to football.

'Speaking of which, did Courta decide to play football club?

'Let's join our team!

'No, our team is stronger!

From the men in the class, they are invited to each football club.

That's Germany.

There are so many football clubs in this small city.

"Um, I have a club to introduce me to, so I'm going to take an admission test there."

Politely decline the invitation of your classmate.

Yes... I had someone write me a reference before I came to Germany.

(Thank God for that Gade......)

It was a grandfather named Gade who asked me to write a reference beforehand.

I met Mr. Gade when I was at a four-year national competition for elementary school.

It's that cheerful sunglasses foreign grandfather I met after the closing ceremony.

Yes, he was a fan of mine.

Mr. Gade and I were talking in front of the bathroom during the U-15 Asian Games the following year.

That's when we exchanged e-mail addresses and kept in close contact.

(I asked no but... I was lucky)

I didn't know any other foreigners.

That's why I tried contacting Mr. Gade.

When I decided to go to Germany in January, I emailed him: 'Hello, Mr. Gade. For the convenience of my family, I have been studying in a city called Ohm in Germany since April. Do you have a recommended football school?' I was in touch.

In reply, I was advised of a football school in this city.

Besides, Mr. Gade arranged for me to take the enlistment test, and he even prepared a letter of recommendation in the mail.

Though strange friendship, I really appreciate that guy.

All right, let's get this class started.

Whoa, you shouldn't.

The teacher came into the classroom.

I need to get ready for my first hour of business.

The system of German schools and classes is slightly different from that of Japan.

Technically, I'm not in junior high.

Become in the category of German-style secondary education.

I was confused at first, but now I'm okay.

Anyway, in my previous life, I graduated from a university in communications.

So you don't have to worry about conversation and education in Germany, you can focus on football.

'Bye, guys. See you later!'

"Cota, I'll see you later!

"Join the team test, good luck, Coata!

Class of the day is all over.

Say hello to your classmates, and I'll pop out of the classroom with a dash.

I have a soccer school admission test coming up today.

This is the team Mr. Gade introduced us to.

While I look at the map, I dribble to a designated location.

This will warm your body up just fine.

"Whoa, is this it? That's quite splendid..."

arrived at the designated location.

What arrived was a football park outside the city. The meeting point was a modern clubhouse.

"The crest (emblem) of this club, what if?

I notice it when I look at the clubhouse emblem.

Mr. Gade introduced me to a professional club school course.

(This city club was just a three-part German league...)

The top team in the introduced school belonged to three parts of the German Bundesliger.

Normally, I imagine a Japanese J3 when it comes to "three parts."

But Germany, a football giant, is amazing in three parts.

In any case, in a three-part league, the stadium will be filled with more than 10,000 spectators.

It is more attractive than Japan's J1.

(You mean that's all German football is popular and level......)

Staring at the emblem of the club, I regain my temper.

School courses under the age of thirteen are about to take the admission test.

As an educational institution (academy), European football clubs have educational organisations ranging from children to high school students.

The categories entering were divided according to age and were focused on nurturing.

Europe is said to be at a high level because it invests in nurturing.

"I'm leaving from scratch today..."

Check where you stand again.

My previous achievements in Japan are irrelevant.

The fact that he won three consecutive National Boys' Football Games doesn't give him any visibility.

The only challenge we're going to take is strength being tested, a place to fight.

"Interesting...... we have to work hard!

On such a departure from scratch, the reverse burns up.

Together, I challenged my thirteen and younger entrance test.
