Amateur Old Man, Enjoy Reborn Football Life (Booked)
Episode 93: The Last and Biggest Crisis in Germany
The moon was changing and it was a new year.
It's late January now. It's during the winter vacation when Germany's league games are off.
The period of such an interruption is almost over.
F.S.V. 's clubhouse locker room was crowded with players after finishing practice.
Starting the day after tomorrow, the league will resume.
'Finally!
F.S.V. was on the move to resume the league.
We were practicing final adjustments.
Speaking of which, the winter vacation wasn't long ago.
'Oh, right. As always, the vacation was just in time.'
The German two-part league in this era was on winter vacation from late December to late January.
During this time, the athletes spend Christmas and vacation seasons.
I returned to Japan this year with four members of my family and spent New Year at my parents' house.
(End of the year or... Christmas in Germany, that was hilarious this time...)
Think back to your own Christmas as you listen to your teammates like that.
This time, by way of example, I was invited to a Christmas party at the Vasmeyer family.
Last Christmas party, I feel like it was between us, but let's not worry about it.
If we concentrate on football, the month will pass quickly.
(You were great at this Christmas party. Whatever you do, Hyoma, you've come all the way!
Oh, my God. That leopard with you this time, he joined the party.
Elena distracted me and invited me to talk to her about him.
Italian U-18 in this era is also a long holiday for Christmas. Thanks to that, I was able to invite you to the leopard.
(But you've got a real case too... I didn't know you were coming to that Mr. Leonardo...)
I was surprised to pick you up at the German airport. Oh, my God, that Leonardo Ricci was at the airport.
Of course there is no name for his Mr Leonardo on the Vasmeyer family invitation list.
(But Mr. Leonardo also, because he had that Christmas party invitation)
Mr. Leonardo had an old invitation.
It's a 'Vasmeyer Family Christmas Party Permanent Invitation'.
During his junior year, Mr. Lillian said it was made by hand for Mr. Leonardo.
(Mr. Leonardo's sudden participation caused a huge commotion at the beginning of the party...)
Anyway, Leonardo Ricci is the top player in Serie A.
Besides, Uvetos FC and F.S.V. have long been the clubs of cause to each other.
And only an avid F.S.V. official gathers at the Vasmeyer family Christmas party.
In the world of European football, which is too hot, there was no reason why there would be no incidents.
(Well, but Mr. Julian took advantage of the drive, so that place has subsided...)
To avoid a major disturbance, Ms. Lillian introduced the participants to Mr. Leonardo as a great best friend.
Thanks to that, we managed to have a quiet party.
Mr. Yulian's manoeuvre played a role.
(But then Yulian looked pretty fucked... right)
Maybe it was an operation that Mr. Leonardo came without an appointment.
To join all of a sudden, to embarrass Mr. Julian and enjoy the reaction.
Or maybe I had a good time with Mr. Julian......
Those two had different personalities, but they were real best friends from me.
(Anyway, that was a fun Christmas party... the last one was still a dong chan noise... right)
Football corners were also available for Christmas parties this year.
And two gathered Vasmeyer family football officials, and Juvetos.
For me, a football geek, it was really fun Christmas football.
(After that New Year's homecoming was as usual......)
I was home on New Year's Eve about ten days.
I swept the house and got over the years in a doozy way.
I also went to say hello to Hiromae Riverillo's junior.
This year's national tournament was also a feat of the top four.
Speaking of which, at some point, the Riverillo had an additional practice area for indoor use.
Thanks to more members and more sponsors.
The coach's proposal that the common name for the indoor field is "Coata Court" … was rejected.
I'm ashamed to hear it, too. [M]
(Then in mid-January, you resumed your team practice and it was your usual soccer day)
I look back at the past month.
And now in the locker room, time went back.
"Starting the day after tomorrow, it's time to start the second half of the game."
'Oh, don't be armed. Let's keep going for the win!
On Saturday, the day after tomorrow, the two-part league will resume.
The second half of the battle is about to begin.
'If you keep up the pace, you're going to manage the promotion, aren't you?
"But the two of them are all crooked. You're a great enemy. '
So far, our F.S.V. has won 10 games, lost 4, lost 3 minutes.
I kept it in pretty good shape.
He's first in the two-part league, but he can't be alarmed.
If a person leaves because of a injury, the team's overall strength will be reduced at once.
"If we keep pace with two wins and one loss ahead, maybe we'll manage to win in May?
'Oh. I just want to avoid long term departures with impossible play'
Your teammates are right to read.
Football league games last a long year.
If you aim for all too many wins, there will always be an impossible play.
As a professional, you need to stay in the best possible condition in all games.
(It's really hard to win two parts in a row...)
Indeed, today F.S.V. is also the leading two-part league.
But the top clubs were balanced in their individual strengths.
Even in my reading, I saw the second half of the game as a pace of two wins and one loss.
(My decision was made after that May...)
In December of last month, Ms Lillian had asked me to stay in F.S.V.
The original return is scheduled for June this year.
Mr. Yulian wants me to stop it and sign a professional contract with F.S.V.
(It's a difficult issue, but let's take another six months to come up with an answer. Because it could be about my whole life!
My dream of returning to Japan is of the utmost importance.
But I can't go back to Japan until I see F.S.V. decide to be promoted to a one-part league.
That was the least I could do in return for being the man I took care of.
(Right... Until we celebrate one part promotion with these guys...)
The locker room after practice is full of sweaty man smell.
But I was proud of my teammates.
(I may only have five months left to play, but I need to have the most fun!
The current team is singling out the top and is in excellent shape.
Don't be alarmed, I'll run to the end.
◇
"Coata! Where's Coata? ⁉"
That is the time.
A woman's voice echoes in the sweaty locker room.
"Ah, Elena? He's here, isn't he?
She is classmate Elena.
He's a special advisor to the club, so this is how he occasionally comes inside the locker room.
Teammates in change hide important parts for now.
"Coata......"
"That, what's wrong, Elena? You look pale...?
Today she was different than usual.
I was dyeing my neat face, bright blue.
Such a spicy look that it's going to fall even now.
What the hell is going on?
If so, is it bad?
"What to do, Coata... What to do... Coata..."
"Hey, what's up, Elena? Are you okay?"
Elena, who is usually calm, is confused with a sad face.
I've never seen her like this before.
Elena was about to suffer, pressing her mouth.
"What happened, Elena?
"The coater is gone... the coater..."
"What?"
All of a sudden, I speak up.
Anyway, I need Elena to calm down.
"Just calm down, Elena. Just take a deep breath and take your time."
"Right...... thanks, Coata"
Take a deep breath. She finally settled in.
Now I can ask what's going on.
"He said I'd be gone, but what's wrong?
"Actually, I just had a recommendation... that's why Coata is forcibly returning home... from this Germany..."
"What... I..."
I lose my word to the exact explanation.
But why?
Even though the visa stays in place?
"I can only stay until March 31st in a communication from a formal agency in the country..."
"What, from the country? And until March? Oh, no..."
"I'm sorry...... Coata. If only I had been more careful..."
"That's not true. Elena, let's find a way!
That's what I said, and I was upset.
It was just a case.
I can only stay in Germany for two more months.
(I mean, leaving in the middle of a league... what do we do...)
This is how I faced the biggest crisis in Germany.
