Amateur Old Man, Enjoy Reborn Football Life (Booked)

Episode 101: First Match at the Club

High school life in Tokyo was going well every day.

"Well, I'm going to school"

"Wait, brother. I'm coming with Aoi!

After morning practice, I go to school with my sister Aoi.

Running at a fair pace, so the stamina came with it.

"Speaking of which, is Sunflower's football club doing well?

We chat as we run.

There is no girls soccer club in middle school. That's why Aoi had joined the neighborhood football club.

"Yeah. It's just girls, but it's so funny, brother!

Aoi has been enrolled only in the men's team so far.

But if I were a junior high school student, I wouldn't be mixed up with a Japanese boys team.

So this time join a team that specializes in women. It is a middle-aged women's club for middle and high school students only.

"Right. That's good."

"But, brother. No one's better than Aoi, so that sounds weird, right? Some high school kids do, don't they?

For the third year of secondary school, Aoi's strength had not flown away.

He's aced the third-year high school students on the same team by pulling out a lot.

"Oh well... the sunflower worked hard in Germany, so I might not have a choice."

"Oh well. Maybe so, brother."

Aoi is not aware of his strength from Oyamauchi.

Anyway, until last year, Sunflower had joined the men's U-15 in F.S.V., Germany.

Ace strikers in the team there.

The final score is the national competition of the men's U-15 in Germany, the competition scoring king. He was leading the team to the top four in the U-15 division in Germany.

(If you think about it, maybe in Japanese middle and high school women's soccer nowadays, sunflowers don't fly?

Clearly, among the Japanese women of this era, they had gained the strength to break the law.

And sunflowers of pure character, unlike me, do not hide their strength.

I play as hard as I can at all times.

That's why I didn't join the team. But I would have been an ace all at once.

"What about your brother? What about club football?

"Is that me? It's more level and fun than I thought."

I, on the other hand, had joined the high school football club.

At first I struggled with the difference in level with others, but these days I've gotten used to that too.

Now he was enjoying himself while enriching his after-school activities.

"Speaking of which, on Sunday, it looks like we have a practice match, so I'm looking forward to it."

"Your brother's game? I'm going to see Aoi too!

"Well, I don't know because I can get out, but I'll try my best."

Next Sunday, practice matches were organized with other schools.

Our club is small, so I should probably be able to compete as well.

(Match? Looking forward to it. But don't be too conspicuous, you have to be careful)

Like every week in Germany, he was in adult games.

Sometimes more than twice a week in many cases.

Compared to that, the club now only has about three games a month with other schools. It is a considerable environmental change.

(But can I just focus on my training for that matter? Anyway, you look forward to Sunday's game!

Self-training is also important, but the flavor of football is still the game. I was excited about my first game in a long time.

"Ah, the school gate. Bye, Aoi."

"Yeah, good luck with your brother!

If you want to talk, I was running, and I arrived in no time.

From here until evening, it will be time to study in the classroom.

(I still have to work out my leg feel and my sports vision during class today!

That habit from elementary school continues even now.

I had also completed my studies up to the University of Communication in my previous life, so I don't need to study in high school either.

You can train football for that amount of time in class.

It is, of course, a secret training so that the teacher and the classmates around him do not notice.

(I also need to read the soccer club management book I borrowed from Elena in the gap between classes)

Recently, I also studied club management.

When I was in Germany, I took it in my hands with interest.

But seriously, this is so deep and funny.

(There are many obstacles to leading a local football club to J1...)

I started studying club management for a local football club.

At any rate, a Japanese football team cannot be promoted to the J-League just by winning a game.

Preparation of stadiums with prescribed number of spectators or average number of spectators Norma.

We also have to meet a variety of standards, including improving the quality of the club's staff.

(I can only play soccer... but my consciousness to study is important...)

Age has nothing to do with studying football club management.

I learned that from the appearance of a respected German girl.

That's why I'm in high school, and I'm not gonna lose. While training in football, he decided to study club management as well.

"All right, good luck with the whole day, football exhaustion!

Raise your temper in the high school dumpster.

"Hiccup... Also, Mr. Nolu Kota..."

"He's a pretty face, but he's a little different, isn't he?

But my classmates around me saw me giddy.

Rumors are whispering.

Aww......

Now in public, let's be careful not to scream too much.

Weekdays pass and it will be Sunday.

It's a practice game this afternoon.

"So that's it for starters. Enjoy it unharmed!

"" "Yes, General Manager!

Finish the pre-game up and get tempered around the manager.

Enjoy yourself unharmed...?

This sounds like our club.

Sounds good, almost.

"Ha. As always, the balls-tall guys, that's a fuzzy hanging..."

"Oh. It's just fine today, it's going to be an adjustment match..."

That's when I heard that conversation from the other team.

Tamagao is a common name for our school.

Normally I can't hear the distance, but I'm a hell of a ear when it comes to football.

Don't miss out on bad words in particular.

And obviously, they're licking this one.

"Um... seniors. Is today's opponent strong?

"Anyway, even at the Tokyo tournament, the opponent will be in the top 16... did he only lose 0-for-8 last time?

Gather information from seniors who were nearby.

I see.

Is the opponent within the city's high school team, about 16th best high school?

But I don't really know how amazing that is. I grew up in the Northeast.

(But is it the difference between losing big time 0-for-8? Doesn't seem that different to you?

While I was up, I was analyzing their strengths.

Certainly in personality, the seniors in our department are losing.

But if it's just collaboration, it's not that big of a difference.

(All right, just “a little” for today's practice game. Am I going to try?

I breathe quietly and deeply.

If you're going to play a game anyway, it's more fun to engage.

To that end, I'm going to work out an operation in my head.

(Because we don't have as many audiences... we're not gonna find out, are we?

There are only about twenty spectators in today's practice game.

Many of them are neighbors. I would have come to see it in my spare time in the middle of a walk.

If you're also a high school student, you don't have a parent and family coming to watch the game.

(It's okay if I just get a little serious about this, right?

I decided to take it seriously just a little bit, as there were no Scoutman-like associates.

I'm here to watch the sunflower, but it's in me, so I'll tell you later and you'll be fine.

I don't have to worry about finding out what I'm hiding.

(Ok...... we've got an op for today)

In doing so, today's game plan was decided.

First of all, this one fights against the opponent's high level of personality, with organizational strength.

To do this, I secretly move around. [M]

Make sure your enemies don't find out and move to crush dangerous situations anyway.

(Hard to play while concealing strength, but this is going to be a big exercise too...)

The powerful people who were in Europe did not come under so much pressure at first sight.

But at the center of the game, I've played a hell of a series of plays.

So today I decided to play more carefully than that.

Shall I call it "The Art of Sneaking”?

"Let's do our best, General Manager!

"Ooh. You're in a good mood, aren't you, Coata? Right, let's do our best!

Let's play something that will make the manager stand out during the game.

I will support it in the shadows.

(Ok...... good luck and we'll have fun!

I get tempered again in my mind.

Finally, the first battle of my high school life began.

And about 90 minutes later.

The practice match with the mighty school ends.

The result is a four-to-four draw.

I scored 0 points, 0 assists.

He gave all his skills to his predecessors and was thoroughly shadowy.

"Hmm... I knew the game would be fun!

But after the game, he was surrounded by unspeakable satisfaction.

It's been a long time since my heart danced to the game.

"Looking forward to next week's practice game!

This is how I enjoyed my high school football club life.
