Amateur Old Man, Enjoy Reborn Football Life (Booked)

I came to the football school in the city where I live in Germany to take my entrance test.

First, I'm going to the clubhouse to sign up for a test.

"It's called Courta Noro. This is the application form, the visa and the letter of introduction. '

Apply to the receptionist who was in the club's office.

My father also checked the paperwork, so it should be fine.

I'll wait in the office chair.

"That's unusual, is it Japanese? Hmm... how young are you? Twelve?

'Hey, wait... what's the name of the person in this reference...'

"No way ⁉ I heard from you beforehand, that special referral player. ⁉"

Behind the office, it's kind of a mess.

Was there something wrong with Mr. Gade's invitation I brought?

I am very worried.

'It's okay, Courta Noro. Get dressed in the locker room there and go to the practice area. Join the group test starts soon'

'Yes, thank you!

Good, he didn't have any deficiencies.

Thanks to the invitation, you can take the entrance test.

"All right, let's do our best"

I prepare myself in the locker room and head to the designated practice area.

About thirty athletes had already assembled.

Each is practicing with a ball.

They're all falling apart, so I guess they're all students.

I'm wearing a bibs with a number on it.

By the way, my number happens to be number 14.

It's the number from the era of Hiromae Riveriro, and it has good connections.

(And they all look like adults...)

Surprised to see students.

They're all big tall and don't look very much like the same thirteen.

I also grew a little taller as a junior high school student. That's right, foreigners are different in Gatai.

(A lot of people are good at that...)

I observe the people around me as I put up and warm myself up.

The image of German-style football in this era is "efficient play without waste”.

If you look at it this way, the people who take the test also have individual differences but good fundamentals.

Many passes and dribbles are also solid people.

(I see. I could picture that)

While checking the surroundings, I will also train the image of the match.

Layer your play and the movements of the Germans around you.

By doing so, it's okay if the content of the test becomes a practice match.

(And my body, that sounds good)

My body, on the other hand, seems to be doing well today.

The feeling of German natural grass is also fuzzy and feels really good.

I think I can do everything I can with this.

"Uh, then we'll start the joining test. Have a few mini-games played. Reference team wins and loses as well. Okay, here we go!

The examiner explains it.

Finally, the enlistment test begins.

I see.

Do you judge your abilities and aptitudes in mini-games?

Mini-games are a unique area, practicing like every day in Japan.

We need to be serious about this and work hard.

I confirm the Bibs number and join my designated first teammate.

'Nice to meet you! I'm Courta Noro, from Japan and I live in this city! Nice to meet you all!

Say hello to your teammates well.

Shake hands one by one to deepen the interaction.

I had heard that the German people were serious and valued discipline and greeting.

In these mixed mini-games, the first image is the key.

"All right, here goes the mini-game!

On the signal of the test examiner, the entrance test begins.

(All right, let's do everything we can from the start!

It is the school that Mr. Gade introduced me to because of it.

I want to pass both to keep my face open.

Ten years from childhood to sixth grade.

I decided to cultivate all of the technology in Japan and get rid of it.

◇

The mini-game of the joining test goes on.

(I knew people in Europe, they're all good!

While playing mini-games, I'm surprised at the level again.

Unlike primary school age in Japan, the overall level is high.

It's more sophisticated than U-15 Japan practiced two years ago.

(But... if I'm a junior high student!

I've grown a lot since two years ago.

I struggle even harder.

(The examiner said, 'It also helps the team win or lose'. I need to read that intent!

Concentrate so that you play like yourself.

The mini-game of the test gets the team shuffled over and over again.

When there are not enough defensive members, turn to defense with dedication.

If there are not enough members of the attack, actively participate in the attack.

When no one has a goalkeeper, I try too.

It was here that I trained in play when I was in elementary school that helped me.

"Number 22, go up more! Number 18 is more to the right!

During the mini-game, I speak up and give aggressive instructions.

If you're going to do it anyway, I want you to beat your own army.

My body is huge, but everyone here is under the age of thirteen.

No need to shy away.

With the coaching ability I have developed so far, I give more and more instructions in German.

"That little guy... he keeps giving orders..."

"But more rational than anyone."

'Right. Okay, number 14...... no, follow Coata's instructions!

"Number fourteen... gather the ball to the coater!

At first, the teammates were confused, too.

Apparently, however, my intentions have been conveyed.

He followed the instructions and moved well.

Different nationalities, same rules for football.

My teammates respond to the ball with their will.

When you play overseas like this, you really feel it.

After all, football is the most common language in the world and the most enjoyable sport.

◇

'All right, test's over. All of you, gather around!

The examiner's whistle sounds.

Soon, it had been quite a while.

The mini-game entry test was completed.

It was a good time, so it wasn't long.

Personally, I wanted to play more mini-games with everyone.

My first mini-game since I came to Germany.

I knew football was fun for everyone to play.

"Now announce the successful candidate. Number 3…… '

The examiner begins to read out the number of the successful candidate.

Unlike Japan, will you announce suddenly on this occasion?

I'm getting nervous.

What if it fails?

Well, then, then, then.

Should I sign up to join another football school in this city?

But this club is pretty well equipped.

I also have Mr. Gade's face, so I'd like to pass here if I can.

"Number 14!

Oh. My number's been called.

Did you pass?

Can I join this school course?

"That's it. Those who fall are dissolved. Let the successful come to the clubhouse '

The acceptance announcement ends.

Apparently there are no secondary tests.

I mean, I was officially able to pass.

As the fallen leave with a dark face, I head to the clubhouse.

Hmm?

Only four passers this time?

Were there more than three dozen people and only four took it?

That was a tough admission test for a school course.

After all, Europe may also be highly competitive.

Also, maybe this club's schools under the age of thirteen are at a high level.

◇

At the clubhouse office, the examiner explains.

"Uh, in the meantime, congratulations on passing the admission test. Future schedules and contracts are available here. Courta Noro, do you speak German?

"Yes, I can read it for once"

'Right. At that age, that's a lot. If you don't understand, listen to me. "

Of the four people who passed, I was the only Japanese.

The other three are Germans, and they're not worried.

My German reading skills are good.

In my previous life work as a salarier, I was made to study German contracts so much that I didn't like them.

You will not be deceived.

"Hmm..."

I will read the schedule and the contract to Sumizumi.

But I was excited to read it.

Somehow, the days of soccer training in Germany will finally begin.

My heart came to me.

Earlier mini-games were responsive as well.

We will be able to do this somehow.

"By the way, who's the guardian of Coata Noro?

"Yes, my father lives in this city"

Then I'd like an autograph from the guardian.

Right. Do I need my father's autograph to get into school?

As far as visas and conditions were concerned, I had left it to Mr. Gade and his father, so I did not know.

"So, are all four of us going to be okay?

We sign the contract.

There was nothing weird about the content.

"Now you will be part of our club, a professional athlete from today, even though two armies in a three-part league. As a professional, just be aware of that!

"'' Yes!

Finally, the examiner gave me words of encouragement.

The three who have passed are responding with a tight heart.

Of course I reply with a voice of temper.

The only thing I've ever lost to anyone is the response and the loudness of my voice.

(Hmm...?

That's when I realize something.

I think the examiner said something weird right now.

"Uh,“ two armies in a three-part league ”or“ pros ”... what does that mean?

I'll ask the sneak exam officer.

I felt like I'd overlooked something serious.

'Hmm? As there is this reference, Courta Noro. You passed. Congratulations.'

Check the contents of Mr. Gade's invitation.

"Is that...?

Check the contents and put an end to it.

It wasn't an entrance test for a school course under the age of thirteen that I was introduced to and passed.

"Welcome to the two armies of F.S.V.!

Germany's professional football league brings together leading players from all over the world.

Two armies of the prestigious club "F.S.V.” belonging to that three-part league.

I passed a real adult professional football club.
