Amateur Old Man, Enjoy Reborn Football Life (Booked)
Episode 88: Christmas Night with Friends
It will be the day after the fierce battle with Uvetos U-18.
The day after the game meant team practice was also off today.
The German League has also finished scheduling this year's December game yesterday.
Beginning today, we were entering a long offing that included Christmas.
"Is it time?
The day after such a game, I was meeting up.
The location is in the heart of the local F.S.V., with hours in the evening.
This is just the Christmas season in Germany, and the whole city was brilliantly busy.
"Ah, Mr. Hyoma! Right here!
The person I was meeting was you, Hyoma.
I promised to meet him after yesterday's game.
"I'm sorry to call you so suddenly, Mr. Hyoma. You still didn't have to go back to Italy to be okay?
"My ladies and gentlemen, Uvetos is also off the season today in the Christmas period. So it's okay."
"Oh, well. It's almost Christmas."
The Italian League of this era had a Christmas period season off of about two weeks, from late twelve to early January.
So even after yesterday's game, you stayed in Germany.
By the way, our German league has more than a month off from late December to late January.
It is considerably longer than other national leagues, but this is said to be a unique winter season off for Germany, a snowfall country.
"Isn't it cold in December here in Germany? It's okay, Mr. Hyoma?
"Of course it's cold compared to warm Italy. But it was in that snowy zone that we lived in Japan. You forgot, Coata?
"Oh, speaking of which, you did. Our city was cold, wasn't it? Ha-ha-ha... I totally forgot."
It has been nearly two years since I left Japan.
The only time I returned home was on New Year's Eve, and it was probably totally stained with German feeling.
"As always, you're missing, Coata is"
"Oh well...? I'm meant to be a regular junior high school student myself?
"Well, that sounds like you too."
Hyoma was laughing bitterly. But I'm smiling gently.
It is your usual leopard smile. [M]
Seeing his expression like that reminds me of what I'm talking about today.
"Ah! Speaking of which, Mr. Hyoma, I'm sorry!
"Hmm? What's this about?
"Look... I got a voice after the last game, and I ran away..."
That was two months ago.
After the game in Italy, Hyoma, you spoke up in the hallway of the stadium.
But I ran away, falling in the dark mist.
From the remorse of his tragic defeat to Mr. Leonardo. And the leopard, the man you don't deserve, was falling in darkness on himself.
"What, about that? I don't give a shit."
"But I lost my normal mind... and I lost my sportsmanship because I lost..."
Soccer players must always be gentlemen.
Even after a game you lose, you have to show respect for them.
Yet I was so remorseful and jealous that I behaved in an ugly way.
"Never mind, Coata. People are not omnipresent. Besides, we're still in middle school. Don't push it."
"Isn't it omnipotent...? Indeed, you do."
"Besides, I regret losing the game. I've been jealous of someone I can't win."
"What, even you, Hyoma? Oh no...?
"Oh, so you don't get sick, Coata"
"Oh well... right. Thank you, Mr. Hyoma!
Hyoma, your words have cheered me up.
That's my esteemed man. He was growing up even more spiritually.
All right, I'll feed on my losing experience, too, and keep growing.
"Well, as always, you're a quick reviver. The spirit is thick or simple..."
"Uh, that's too much to say, Mr. Hyoma! Whatever it takes!
"Never mind. An Italian joke."
"What, Hyoma, you make a joke ⁉"
The two of us face each other and laugh at each other.
Against my mess, Leopard, you go in. This exchange began when I was in Japan.
It's a really good time to miss it.
"Speaking of which, Coata. We had a great game yesterday."
"Yeah, thank you, Mr. Hyoma"
We are enemies of the league today.
So I can't talk too deeply about yesterday's game.
But now it's time to talk to each other as friends, not enemies.
"You're a really big man to be behind that freak for only two months, you"
"What is that freak... possibly about Mr. Leonardo?
"Oh, he's also the most incredible guy in the Uvetos FC"
Mr. Leonardo and Mr. Hyoma belonged to the same club.
Still, calling that genius Leonardo Ricci a freak is awesome.
But Mr. Leonardo felt like he really appreciated you. Maybe it has something to do with...
"Hey, Hyoma, what's your relationship with Mr. Leonardo? Even when it comes to relationships, it's about football..."
I open my mouth with courage.
The question had been of concern to me for two months.
The relationship between the two seemed unusual.
Mr. Leonardo was tied to you in a year to combine with me for more than five years.
A deep relationship that you can see just by looking at.
That delusion of jealousy is one of the causes of my falling to the bottom of a dark mist.
"You think it's a relationship with that freak? It's no big deal. That's right..."
Hyoma told me quietly.
When I passed the Uvetos U-12 test a year ago.
Mr. Leonardo, who was here to watch the enlistment test, told me you had your eye on Leopard.
After that, Mr. Leonardo wants to play with you.
He said he was forcibly placed on a team with him, where he was forced to wear collaboration.
Pretty forceful means to think about it.
But the opponent is a regular Juvetos player, and you, Hyoma, can't do it without him.
So he had no choice and said he was dealing with him.
"What, that's what happened..."
I'm relieved to hear your explanation, Hyoma.
Especially the two of them weren't close.
As a senior in the same club, Mr. Leonardo was just adoring you as a junior leopard.
Then I was relieved. Moya Moya, which was in my heart, disappears beautifully.
"As you can see, that man is a freak in private. But when it comes to football, Leonardo Ricci undoubtedly falls into the category of genius."
"Right, Mr. Hyoma... Mr. Leonardo is a really amazing person..."
I was realizing it in two matches.
That guy really said he was a talented guy.
F.S.V. Young was able to win yesterday's game, he was just really lucky. Mr. Lillian and his teammates had the support to win.
The next time you play against me, they work out measures and you have a greater chance of losing. So much so that Mr. Leonardo is a mighty opponent.
"Don't worry, Courta. That freak won't be in the UCL Young League anymore."
"What?"
"He's got Serie A. in charge. After yesterday's game, the director scolded me, apparently. I mean, yesterday's game seems to be over."
"Right. I'm sorry to hear that..."
Right. Mr. Leonardo and I are in the UCL Young League, and we can't compete anymore?
Playing against that guy was one of the top exciting things in his life.
Somehow Mr. Leonardo's style of play is similar to mine.
So I wanted to study more against each other.
I wanted to take a peek into the depth of football for what I'm missing.
"What a shame to deal with that Leonardo Ricci...... you really have a liver on you, Courta"
"Really? But football is really fun! You're looking forward to the game at the beginning of the year!
I'm going to talk to you, Hyoma, looking at the streets of Christmas.
It is only a time for two slow people.
"That German football over there sounds interesting too, Courta?
"It's so funny! Speaking of geniuses, wasn't our team, Mr. Lillian, awesome?
What the two of us talk about is all about football. Talk about each other's clubs alternately.
"Is that that sarah blonde DF? Oh, you're right. Contrary to his good looks, he was a horrible player."
"You will! That guy is actually the grandson of the owner of F.S.V., and he's a noble cadet!
And content that really doesn't have any other love. Talk about players who don't think of each other as real football players.
"That's amazing. Actually, we have the same guy in Uvetos U-18. Well, this one's a bad guy in Conne."
"It is! You have all sorts of football players in Europe! hahaha......"
But I was in the happiest mood. He raised his voice and was surprised, laughing wholeheartedly.
"And I'm Julian's sister, and there's a girl named Elena."
"You think it's Elena? Well... you've never heard of a woman other than my sister come out of Coata's mouth, have you?
"Is that right? Could I have forgotten?
"I guess."
Maybe it's the happiest time to come to Germany. Somehow I can talk to you, my dear Hyoma, slowly.
"Anyway, that woman named Elena, she's the same football idiot you are, isn't she?
"Yes, you understand very well, Mr. Hyoma! Elena is a lady, thirteen years old, and she's a qualified director!
And in a Europe where football is thriving, I feel the same air. That was the happiest moment (for a moment).
"Then..."
"Hmm. Same Courta"
"Speaking of which, Mr. Hyoma..."
"Oh. In Italy..."
I've been talking to you a lot ever since, Hyoma.
about each other's lives in Europe.
Funny thing, I was surprised.
The two of us talked about our future football dreams and goals alone.
"Ugh...... I guess the next time we see each other is at some stadium, Mr. Hyoma?
"Oh, right. Next time, I'm the better revenge match, Coata."
I pledge to reunite with you, Hyoma.
This time there were all sorts of incidents and obstacles.
But now, even that's one of those fun memories.
Anyway, this is the most fun night of my life.
It was the best Christmas ever.
"It's been a really fun year..."
My second year in Germany was a series of upheavals.
But they rode smoothly, and this is how they flowed.
