Amateur Old Man, Enjoy Reborn Football Life (Booked)

It will be the Sunday following the selection.

Continuing yesterday, there will be a selection today.

We have a practice match with the U-22 Olympic team.

Incidentally, "U-22 Olympic Japan Representative" means… "a national team of soccer under the age of 22 organized by the Japan Soccer Association”.

I can't compete in the Osaka Olympics next year until I'm 23 or younger, so this year in the previous fiscal year it will be called U-22.

It's going to be a bit of a pain in the ass for the average person to call it, but just to be brief.

"The team of the most amazing players under the age of 23 playing football in Japan during the Olympic Year" is the Olympic team.

◇

"No, you're an amazing mentor... really, amazing..."

A full member of that Olympic Japan representative was now standing in front of me.

There's going to be a bee practice match with the sub-candidates.

But I'm not impressed. I'm only saying 'awesome'.

"Oh, the anothers... and those over there..."

Now just before the practice game.

Aligned in front of you are eleven members of the current Olympic team.

Being a football geek, I know the names and faces of their representatives, of course.

They're my five- or six-year-old j-leggers.

They are aces and celebrities of each club.

I was an audience in my previous life, and I was passionate about watching these people work on TV.

(No... I didn't expect to see a real Olympic representative player... this is going to have a nosebleed...)

Such future celebrities, at the age of 22, were descending in front of me.

To me, who was a football geek, telling me not to get excited is an impossible order.

(That's right. I definitely need you to sign the colored paper today!

I always put autographs in my bag.

It's a measure when you suddenly meet a famous football player.

(Exactly, during practice games, it's not good to get autographs, is it? After the game, get an autograph!

A great opportunity to meet with all the members of the Olympic delegates only once in a lifetime.

Whatever means you use, you'll get your signature on the individuals who represent the twenty.

This is life's pleasure for me, and it's more important in a way than today's practice game.

◇

"Then we'll start the practice game. The rules are going to be the same as the real deal"

If I'm such a delusion, I have a head coach's greeting.

Whoa, I need to change my mind.

It's time to start a practice match with the Japanese Olympic Games.

"As I had told both teams beforehand, depending on the movement of this game, in some cases there will be replacements for Olympic Japanese members. Both teams, stay in the mood!

"" "Yes!

Everyone overreacts to that one word of the head coach.

It was quite temperamental.

By the way, the practice matches we're going to have

[Eleven Selection Qualifiers Yesterday for Current Olympic Japan VS]

It is a match for

As it was in the head coach's description yesterday, only four passes from the selection group.

In some cases, however, more than five Olympic Japanese delegates are promoted from the “11 Selection Qualifiers Yesterday”.

Conversely, there was also the possibility of losing the Olympic Games from Japanese delegates.

That's why everyone on both teams was in a great mood.

Well... for some reason I passed the selection, it wouldn't matter to me as a regular high school student.

"Head coach, do you have a minute?

"What's up?

"I heard rumors that he... is a high school student, right?

One of the Olympic delegates looks strange and asks the head coach.

“He” and I stabbed him in the finger. I was the one ahead.

"Oh, indeed, he's sixteen in his first year of high school. But Olympic Representative U-22 is not a problem as long as he is under 22 years old by policy."

The head coach was responding calmly.

I feel like I've heard this exchange several times, even in Tressen, U-15, five years ago.

Maybe the manual back then still permeates the Japan Football Association.

"Hey, did you hear that... he said he was a freshman in high school..."

"He was a middleman until six months ago..."

"I've never heard of him as an Olympic candidate before..."

The opponent's representative members bother explaining the head coach.

At any rate, there is no history of active high school students being selected as Olympic delegates in the history of Japanese football.

It is not impossible for representative members to bother.

(Long time no see for this reaction either...... sorry everyone......)

I apologize in my heart.

Instead, I was the other way around wondering why I was standing here.

I still can't believe I passed yesterday's selection.

"You better not think of this guy as a regular high school kid."

"Oh, right. This guy... Nolu Kota is not a regular high school student."

There were people who said something to such representative members.

They are ten of the same selection passers as me.

In yesterday's selection, he broke up with enemy allies in a mini-game and was a J-Lieger who sweated together.

"This coater had an overwhelming presence in yesterday's selection."

"If you think you're six years younger and you're licking it, you'll be plucked in an instant"

"We didn't have any hands or feet yesterday."

They were pushing for me.

I don't know, but he's admitted so much about yesterday's mini-game with me.

"What a ⁉ guy with such a thin line of body...?

"Do you guys have an active J Rigger...?

"That's unbelievable...?

To their words, the representative members were astonished.

And then everyone turns their gaze to me, which is being taken away.

The gaze of all the players and coaches in both armies on this occasion was concentrated on me alone.

"I don't know, I'm a regular high school student...... but I'll play all I can, thanks for today!

I, who was noted, declare by accident.

I don't really know how to rate my play myself.

So all I can do is play hard.

It's just about enjoying football.

"You're right about Nolu Coata. All right. Okay, here we go. Introduction!"

The head coach signals a start.

It was in this strange tension that the practice match with the Olympic delegates began.

◇

(Oh! After all, the Olympic delegates, wow!

The practice game was starting.

I was impressed the whole time as I played the game.

(This is the play of young people under 22, the highest peaks in Japan! Awesome!)

Opponents are gathered for the Olympic Games.

Being also an active J-Lieger, they had tremendous fighting power.

Yesterday's selection group has another level of awesomeness.

(It's been a long time since you've fought such a high level person...)

I've been so excited since I was in F.S.V.

Even when I was in Germany, I fought in a fairly high-level world.

However, the world of Japanese proudly playing is another world of different air.

Everyone as a representative of Japan. He put his will and pride on being a club representative.

(All right, I'll do my best too!

I may never be able to play in such great tension again.

That's why I come to the game so hard.

The opponent is a top-rated Olympic team.

But without being frightened, I keep trying.

(Oh? Something's getting lighter and lighter? And the preteen of play?

Something amazing has happened while playing.

Something has gone wrong with my body.

(Is this the power of the full season in the F.S.V. era?

I've come to realize it myself.

To the fact that since I was in high school, the shackles I had consciously suppressed had completely disappeared.

To the fact that all the fatigue that had been forced and accumulated in the German era had also disappeared.

Even better than yesterday.

I was totally 100% ready to play right now.

(No, you've got more power than you did then. ⁉ This is awesome!

Nearly six months after enrolling in high school, I have worked out shackled in feelings.

Then the liberation makes it more powerful than ever.

My own power as a high school student that I experience for the first time...... I am stunned by my own genuine power.

(This feeling is amazing! Fun for that!

The new feeling felt strange.

Even though my body was as light as a feather, the play had a sharp beauty.

I can recognize the play of the people around me across 360 degrees.

Yet allies and enemies were starting to somehow feel what they wanted to play next.

(I wonder if this feels like physical growth and my moves finally match?

Until now, I have built up an age-appropriate workout.

There were many times when the stories here alone, the moves and sensations acquired, could not be followed by the actual body.

But when I'm sixteen, I'm almost done growing up.

Bone growth was also growing, as much as 3 cm taller than in previous life and as much as 173 cm larger.

In the tenth or so year of his soccer life, his moves and senses finally felt like he was joining the flesh.

(Yeah, this is hilarious! This is football!

I am impressed across the board as I play.

A grin spilled as he kicked the ball, dribbling.

It was just fun to run a straight line or instantly unmark the other person.

(So much fun, maybe since you first touched the ball? Really fun!

I forget me for so much fun.

I went after the ball so enthusiastically that I didn't know what it was now a practice game for.

I was like in kindergarten, kicking the ball with selflessness.

◇

"Pippy!"

At some point ninety minutes had passed.

It's really 90 minutes in between.

(You really enjoyed it today...... you really enjoyed it......)

I don't really remember the results of the practice game that day.

Soon after, I was on my way home.

When I realized it, I was running home.

(Also, I want to have such a fun game...)

What I remember when I got home was that I really enjoyed today's practice game.

Ah. And that everyone had a strange look after the game.

It was about teammates and opponents looking like they were being taken lightly.

◇

It's the next day and the week starts.

Since Monday, I've been back in my usual high school life again.

Morning practice at the school grand from 6am.

After that, I take the class seriously.

After the final class of the afternoon, time for the club.

I was the same as before and had a great time practicing with everyone in the club.

"Whoa, you have an announcement to make this evening!

Sunday after such a week.

It's 6: 00 in the evening when I get home from practicing my club.

Being a football geek, I was concerned about some news.

"I wonder who will be chosen as a member of the Olympic team?

The topic of Japanese football today was stained with Olympic football.

The announcement of the second runner-up to the Olympic Games in Asia will be on TV.

"Me, is that the player? No, is that athlete over there for the director's tactics, too?

In front of the TV at home, I speak of predictions.

The prediction of these representative members is a great happy time for football geeks.

It's fun to think about who will be chosen as the next member.

"No, Coata's predictions just come off this time, right?

"Am I right, Dad? I'll let you win this time!

Before the TV of the Nolu family, four members of the family were in full swing.

I always compete with my father in anticipation when it comes to the anticipation of Japan's leading members.

(Especially since I'm confident in this prediction... somehow a week ago, I've actually seen everyone play!

I have also told my family that I have participated in a selection of Olympic delegates.

That's why the Nolu family is so tense today.

"Oh, it's time to announce!

The director of the Olympic Japanese delegate came out to the press conference.

Looking at the paper, we will make a second announcement for the Olympic delegates.

(Yeah, yeah... so far, that's a reasonable line...)

Listening to the announcement, I nod before TV.

There is no surprise HR announcement right now.

Twenty representative members up to last week continued, and their names were called.

In addition to that, three people from the selection group have also been chosen in good order.

'I now announce the twenty-fourth and last member…'

There are eighteen Olympic delegates in this battle by policy.

But the qualifying round, which lasts nearly a year, will be fought by 24 players.

Until now there had been no surprises until the twenty-third, and a reasonable member had been called.

But in front of the last one, the director stops talking.

Oh, this is!

Maybe a surprise HR hunch ⁉

I'm sure someone will be chosen by surprise from among the members of the selection then!

This is what I predicted, too.

Looks brilliantly centered if it stays this way.

Dad, I'm sorry, but I let you win this time!

"Uh, the last representative member is a freshman at Tama School High School in Tokyo...... Nolu Kota. Twenty-four or more are candidates for the Olympic Games. '

Huh?

Hmm?

I heard a name from tv that I'm not sure about......

No, the name itself, I've heard it a lot.

Hmm... have a cup of tea, let's just chill out a little and think about it.

Tama School High School in Tokyo...... that's the name of the high school I'm in.

And among the students of the year, there is no homonymous name Nolu Courta.

Defined by the erasure method.

"What? I mean...?

So I finally understood what was going on.

No, but no way, this is me...?

"Coata, this is a call from a great guy from the Japan Football Association!

My father's cell phone was ringing.

He said it was a call from a representative of the Japan Football Association's Olympic Games.

I didn't have a cell phone, so I was filing my father's number after the selection.

(No... really, this is me...)

My thoughtful member expectations came off brilliantly.

Because I had the biggest surprise of my life.

(I'm the Olympic representative ⁉)

Thus I was elected Olympic representative.
