It's been a month since the German League opened.

It was mid-September.

Our F.S.V. was in a two-part league, keeping a good four wins and two minutes.

But the start of my new team, the "other team”, was subtle.

"Pippy!"

The whistle at the end of the game goes off.

The second game of the UCL Young League.

The new team… "F.S.V. Young” was one-on-two and lost to the Dutch club.

Now the Young team will be divided into zero wins, one loss and one minute.

"What's wrong with you guys? Today's opponent can't win. It wasn't a game!

In the locker room after the game, the Young Team director was furious. Overall strength was expected to be higher this way.

But F.S.V. Young still doesn't have a winning star. There's no reason for the director to get angry.

'You can't lose the next game anyway. We're here on behalf of F.S.V. Change your mind, it's already broken up today!

The post-game meeting will be over.

We're going to have to go back to Germany from Holland. It will be travelling by high-speed train, connecting European countries.

Europe continues on land and is easier to navigate than Japan. But prolonged travel between nations is just as difficult.

We need to hurry up and take a shower, get dressed and pack our bags.

(F.S.V. Young...)

Reflect on the two previous games as you prepare to return home.

This team was formed of about twenty people, elected from within the club of F.S.V.

As for the breakdown, there are about seven players in the Ole and Yulian armies. The other dozen are players of the two armies.

Under the provisions of the UCL Young League, all are young teams under the age of eighteen.

My youngest on the team is a 14-year-old. Others are mostly seventeen or eighteen years of age who are critical to stipulation.

(Why can't I win? It's not a bad team, is it?

We played and felt together, but the individual abilities of this team are high.

There are some young German players with excellent offense and breakthroughs, as well as players with a strong foreign frame of defense and physical.

One of the great things about the cutthroats is Julian Vasmeyer, a defensive necessity.

He is a regular player in an army of F.S.V. and a German representative by generation.

Considering this, individual athletes are still highly capable. But for some reason, when it comes to the game, it doesn't work and you can't win.

Um, is there any cause?

"What's the matter, Mr. Coata? Difficult face, is that what you think?

"Ah, Mr. Julian. Actually..."

Mr. Julian worried and spoke to me. I honestly discuss my concerns.

How can you not win this young team? What can I do to make things better?

Ask the talented Mr. Lillian for his opinion.

"I see, Mr. Courta. Actually, I was concerned about the problem, too. This team is not bad for individual players. But there's no harmony in the concerto... that's what I felt."

"A concerto with no acting harmony...... I see. True, that's right!

Mr. Julian, who draws the blood of the nobility, also passed into the world of music. If the concerto likened me, I think I figured it out somehow, too.

I see, is that what you mean?

Everyone on the young team plays hard. But we're acting apart, so the gears don't fit.

"At a time like this, maybe I should show my captainship. But here's where I stand... I'm sorry, Coata."

"Indeed, yes"

Mr. Yulian is a special among F.S.V.

Somehow this man's grandfather is the owner of F.S.V. So of course the players, even the director, Mr. Lillian cares.

He's also one of the top talents in F.S.V., so he's too vocal.

For that reason, Mr. Yulian was keen to play quietly in F.S.V.

Because when this guy moves himself, he becomes a club no one can turn against in a bad way.

"Then leave it to me, Mr. Julian!

"What can I do for you, Coata?

"Yes! That's not so much a measure... but in times like this, we just have to move to the grump!

"I see, is that what you mean? Then I asked for a teammate. I'll help you from the shadows, Coata."

Mr. Lillian was supposed to support me from the shadows so that I could move easily.

Everyone on the young team admitted to Mr. Julian. With that help, we'll figure it out.

All right, let's get started.

First of all, do the first thing on the high-speed railway until you return to Germany.

It takes hours from Holland to Germany. That's why we have plenty of time.

Our F.S.V. Young team was on a high-speed train to Germany.

By the way, high-speed trains are like the Shinkansen, a rail network that extends across Europe.

The younger team, which had a small budget, was mainly travelling using high-speed trains.

"Hello!"

During such a high-speed train journey, I move my seat and speak to my teammates.

"Hmm? Coata, what's up?

'Actually, I came to talk to you. Do you mind?

He puts his place in the two armies, but a German player with a promising future. Start acting on this person first.

"Talk to me? Oh. Of course, you're welcome to talk to Coata, a brave soldier of the Army!

I'm only a fourteen-year-old middle school student, but I'm in a pretty good position on the team.

At first, he was a regular player in one army, so everyone on the young team had a glance at me.

That seems like a good way to talk. All right, let's keep listening.

'Is there anything wrong with this young team? Whatever. If you need anything, I'll tell Mr. Julian or the director?

'Trouble... Speaking of which...'

I'm going to listen to a few things from him.

Hmm, I see.

Did you have such a problem? Let's make a proper note of it.

'Well, if anything happens again, feel free to say it'

'Thank you, Coata. It'll help. "

All right, now I can talk to the first one. Let's go talk to the next second person right away.

Anyway, there are more than twenty young team players in all. We need to have an individual interview with everyone until we get back to Germany.

"Hello!"

"Hey, Coata. Hey, what's up?

'I've been wanting to talk to you. Do you mind?

Move next to your next teammate.

He is an eighteen-year-old FW player who has joined the group from the Republic of Congo. athletes with high physical abilities and promising future.

Just like earlier, I will be hearing from this teammate.

(All right, that sounds good to me...)

What I'm doing now was a form of business coaching.

When I hear business coaching, it seems important, but in brief, I listen to my teammates' stupidity and gather their opinions.

(This is also an application of my experience as a salarier in my previous life and the captainship I learned in my sixth grade...)

I don't like relationships, I don't have much experience leading someone.

So when I was in sixth grade, I became a class committee chairman and captain and desperately studied.

What I have learned in it is that when there is a problem in a group, I listen to people anyway.

By the way, as for my captainship in Ole Stream football, I had summarised:

① Communicates equally with all teammates

② In case of player problems in the team, stand between the two to encourage mutual understanding

③ Help each teammate

• We can find a compromise

⑤ Communicate athletes' requests, suggestions, etc. to supervisors and management

This is an operation that I have learned by myself and am about to execute.

Anyway, as a first stage, I started with the communication of ①. That's why we talk to everyone and get along.

If you hear any problems in it, be sure to record them on a note. If it's a problem between players, we'll go back to Germany and then work it out carefully.

If you have any dissatisfaction with the supervisor or management again, make an anonymous note of it.

That was via Mr. Julian, and I had promised him to tell me upstairs.

It's well known that Mr. Julian and I are close. That's why he trusted his teammates.

(I see...... note note. This young team is young and motivated. But it's just been formed, maybe it's falling apart...)

As I talked to my teammates, I began to understand the cause.

This team is a group of gatherers. They were not communicating with each other because their strengths and nationalities fell apart.

(The problem with this hand would have to be solved over the next few months... but I don't have time for this right now, so I need to solve it soon!

I don't have time. I keep listening.

All I can do is stay in Germany for three years in middle school. I mean, I can only stay for a year and a few months.

That's why I want the Young Team to get better as soon as possible.

(Plus if we're going to play soccer anyway, we all have to have fun!

Young team coordination is quite a difficult issue.

But I don't feel bitter at all. Rather, it was burning up with motivation.

Anyway, the Young team is full of great talented players. They were talented as if they were gemstones.

I want to see that talent blossom play soon.

"All right! We'll do our best!

Get in the mood and accidentally scream on the train.

All the passengers are looking back at what's going on.

Awww... this is embarrassing.

No matter how hard you try, you have to be careful not to empty it.

(Let's act with the trick anyway......)

After that, I will continue my activities.

I was finishing up talking to everyone on the young team on the train.

After returning home, we will summarize the problems and consult Mr. Julian and Elena.

We're both smart, so we're reliable companions in solving these problems.

Even then, it still took some time.

When there is a problem in a relationship, athletes gather together to hold a meeting. Until we figured out the cause anyway, we had a conversation.

Problems with football play were also resolved in practice.

Even after I was tired after the game, I didn't condone it. Until the other guy gives up, I'll stick with the practice. That's how I solved the problem.

The problem was there were different genres.

Sometimes young athletes from foreign countries were troubled by cultural problems in Germany.

In that case, I ran around in person and to solve it. With the help of a player from an army who is also a senior foreigner, he moved for all of them anyway.

It was a tough day anyway.

One army league, which is the main game at any rate, is like every week. Being a regular player, I needed to get results there as well.

It was a really hard day.

But I've never thought it was hard.

I was feeling the sight of the Young team getting better gradually.

The unevenness of everyone's performance gives an atmosphere of gradual loss.

I was excited by the sight of the gemstones' raw stones becoming stronger.

And the German calendar was in October.

"Pippy!"

F.S.V. Young grabs the win in the game.

It was a win as a team. Everyone's will and collaboration led to victory.

'You did it, Coata!

"Thanks to Coata, too!

"Nice, Captain!

After the game, I get blessings from my teammates.

Speaking of which, at some point, I was appointed captain of the Young Team. This was the summation of all my teammates.

"Come on... but I'm really glad I won..."

My heart was dancing, too, with painful blessings from my teammates.

The young team managed to take shape.

After that, if you gain experience in the UCL Young League, your overall strength will increase even further.

If we keep up the good work, we might be able to aim for a league win as well. I finished up with a team I'm really looking forward to.

'Oh, yeah! Me, I'm going for a minute!

'Hmm? Where are you going, Coata Captain?

'Er... it's reconnaissance the day after tomorrow!

I was coming to Italy for a game today.

This expedition is anomalous and there will be a game the day after tomorrow. That's why I'm going to scout my next opponent.

"But the day after tomorrow, the opponent is an Italian club..."

Walk around the city of Italy looking at the schedule and map.

But in the stadium around here, the other club must be playing a game.

"Whoa, here!

Arrive at the desired stadium.

The UCL Young League is also a minor league with a small audience, so there are many games in small stadiums.

I pay the entrance fee at the entrance to the stadium and go into the guest seat.

"Whoa, is the game forty minutes later? We made it!

The young man's game meant that the audience was so empty.

But the local Italian support group was decent. That's Italy, a football giant.

"Oh, Italy is winning the game three to one..."

Fighting Italy was a Dutch club that we lost last month.

Against that Netherlands, Italy was in an overwhelming mode.

"Hmm? ⁉ If you look closely, Yubetos FC. ⁉ Is that U-18? ⁉"

Confirm your next opponent and unwittingly doubt your eyes.

Uvetos FC is one of the top clubs in the Italian professional league Seriea.

U-18 is a team under the age of 18 formed among clubs.

In other words, our next opponent is a gathering of Italian classes of the future.

Even calmly, he was a strong enemy a few steps above F.S.V. Young.

No. I think the director explained it properly at the meeting. I'm sorry I forgot.

"I didn't know Uvetos U-18 was the opponent... you surprised me. But I'm so glad to be able to play with Uvetos U-18!

Being a football geek, I was excited about the first Italian game I saw raw.

Not if you're doing this because it's really an enemy club that fights the day after tomorrow.

But this is also a sad habit of football geeks.

Yeah, we need to do some reconnaissance.

"Especially the number nine guy in Uvetos is awesome... he's smaller than he is around, but he's a great pretty chute"

At the end of the day, Uvetos U-18 put in an additional point.

The only player who decided that was a little smaller than the others. But the breakthrough was overwhelming the other team.

"Maybe he's a young player? He's a little taller than me, he's the same brunette athlete, but he's amazing...... eh ⁉ brunette ⁉"

Finally, I realize that there is.

No. 9 in Italy was Japanese.

No matter how many different generations of teams under the age of eighteen, I never expected the Japanese to wear Uvetos number nine.

Too unexpectedly, I've missed it before.

"Same Japanese... plus the shooting earlier..."

It is then. Suddenly my heart was pounding.

Because it looks familiar to play number nine.

"No way... that athlete..."

It will be the end of the game.

Athletes gather in the center to greet the referee and the audience.

And a Uvetos player approached this audience.

The face of player number 9, who was looking down, is clearly visible

"I knew..."

Uvetos No. 9 was a former teammate.

He is the most respected of his age and a very talented striker.

The person approached the entrance to the athlete directly beneath me.

"Mr. Hyoma!

When you come at the end of your eyes and nose, scream that name by accident.

Name your teammates in Japan.

"Hmm? Are you..."

I reacted to your voice, Hyoma. I have my gaze on you.

This face is for sure. You are the real leopard.

"You...... could it be Coata?

This is how I stare at you in Italy.

We were to reunite as enemies.
