Amateur Old Man, Enjoy Reborn Football Life (Booked)

Olympic Head Coach Talk

Now during an important meeting of the Japan Football Association.

It is the soccer Olympic Committee, as it is commonly called.

"We shall now move on to the last agenda. It's about selecting Olympic athletes."

I am in today's biggest case in the meeting.

We have to decide on the next 24 second-rate members for the Osaka Olympics next year.

"I would like to be a member of this group next time."

The list of athletes shall be made available to the members of the Commission.

A list of players' names will be shown on the conference room screen.

"I see, this member..."

"That's easy..."

"But as it stands, it's the best..."

One opinion after another will be delivered by the Commissioner on the members I have selected.

Recent developments in the J-League and the results in international matches will be discussed.

Basically, there was no surprise selection and everyone was a convincing member.

"Hmm? If you look closely, there's only 23 of us, right?

"If you ask me that..."

"Who's the other one...?

The members of the committee get shivering.

I can't force that reaction either.

At any rate, there are only 23 rosters that I have submitted.

There's not enough for 24 delegates.

"The last one is a little special, so I'll explain it in a separate frame. Now look at the screen."

Shows some athlete's data on the screen.

Name and face photo, date of birth, affiliation team, past background, etc.

"Nolu Coata...... you say? You're an athlete you've never heard of, huh?

"Are you a player per J3?

"No, wait... look closely at the date of birth..."

"Stupid...... currently sixteen...... said he was a freshman in high school ⁉"

Members of the Commission also notice the differences in the data of that athlete.

The conference room, which was quiet until earlier, starts to zawatski at once.

"And you think it belongs to the Tama School High School football club in Tokyo? You've never even heard of him at a national tournament?

"Attachment says... silly... last year was the team that lost Game 1 at the Metropolitan Games. ⁉"

Looking at the football club data he belongs to, committee members will heat up even more.

If you belong to a prestigious football club like the one that wins the national tournament, you can still tell the story.

But everyone was stunned by the team's defeat in Game 1 of the Metropolitan Games.

"And my background in middle school, what is this?

"Looks like he was studying in Germany, but he's blank when it comes to football. ⁉"

After that selection, I investigated quite a bit.

But Nolu Courta's middle school career was riddled with everything.

Maybe in German times, he was on an unknown small junior youth team.

"When I was in elementary school I belonged to... Hirosaki Liberillo?

"You've heard of this team. But we won four national tournaments in a row, and we were talking about it, right?

"Oh, speaking of which. But it's a frowning thing, like my junior year background..."

"Indeed. You don't remember the name Nolu Coata..."

The members of the committee were even more zazzled.

This reaction, too, had some predictions.

I was surprised to find out too, but when I was in elementary school, Nolu Courta was on a pretty famous team.

However, players who belonged to such a famous team have sesame seeds all over Japan.

The objections of the members of the Commission are preferable.

"Why make such an athlete an important representative member ⁉"

"Oh, that's right! The Osaka Olympics are more important than the World Cup. ⁉"

"Even though our country will never get results, ⁉ what are you going to do? ⁉"

Committee members were in a state of excitement.

The spearhead of that anger has been directed at me, the person responsible.

A situation that could develop into my dismissal issue if it stays this way.

The weight and responsibility of the home-grown Olympic Games is so great by now.

"I am also fully aware of your surprises. So at the end, take a look at this footage."

It was predicted that the members of the Commission would be furious in this case.

That's why I had an attachment.

Show that footage on the screen.

"This is footage from the other day's selection of matches with the team…"

What I showed was footage of the game.

[Eleven Selection Qualifiers Yesterday for Current Olympic Japan VS]

is a record of the game.

"Hey... what's number 14 in that selection...?

"Oh wow... were there players like this in Japan...?

"Awesome... the current team is being treated like children..."

Though old, all committee members are former professional football players.

I notice the heterogeneity of one of the players in the one-eyed video.

"What club player is this number 14...?

"I've never seen a uniform like this before, J3...?

The interest of the members of the Commission is accelerating.

He's attracted as a football man to the number 14 he plays brilliantly on the screen.

"How convinced were you by this?

Anticipating that timing, I'll stop the footage.

He asked quietly the members of the Commission who seemed to be watching more.

"Hey, no way, this number 14...?

"Yes, Nolu Kota, it's you."

Answer the members of the Commission with a full grin.

I was practicing this smile beforehand as well.

"Such an idiot...... that such an athlete is a high school student ⁉"

"No, more than that, there were players like this in Japan..."

"Oh yeah......"

Members of the Commission had lost their words.

I can't tell you how to explain the shock.

"Then the last twenty-fourth, I want to go with him, Nolu Kota..."

Using that shock, I move on with the meeting.

Conferences and soccer are the same for the opponent's flickering gap.

"He's still a young high school student. For that reason, I would like to pay the utmost attention when it comes to appearing in the game. First, register as a refrained athlete. Debates in international matches will be handled in the field looking at the situation…"

Finally, a supplementary explanation will be provided.

The anxiety of the members of the Commission also needs to be removed. This was also a conference technique.

Take a final resolution on the selection of members with the same momentum.

Of course, there was no objection from anyone, and I was unanimously asked to agree.

(Ugh... oh man... have you passed through safely...)

Now the second member of the Olympic Games is safe.

◇

A committee that's bad for the heart, it's over.

In a meeting room where committee members have left, I clean up after.

"Hmm?"

There was only one remaining committee member in the conference room.

He was silent and watching the footage earlier.

"Are you interested, Mr. Sawamura?

Its committee member's name is Naoto Sawamura.

He is a famous athlete who was formerly an ace for the Yokohama Mariners.

After retiring, he started his own company and was also a very successful businessman.

I've been at a distance from the football association for a while, but I've been back suddenly for a few years now.

Even the back football association will have numerous successes.

Now the epitome of a young group from the Japan Football Association.

He is powerful enough to become a member of the committee since the current fiscal year.

"Oh, just a little bit. Nevertheless, a kid (kid) was growing up to be an interesting player."

"What? Take him... do you know the Nolu Coata? Where's Mr. Sawamura?

I hear unexpected words.

Speaking of which... even at an earlier meeting, only this Sawamura Naoto reacted.

Even when he announced the name of Nolu Coata, only one person watched him quietly.

The other members of the committee were surprised by you.

"You think I know him? Well, he's our guy's eternal rival."

"What's our guy... no way is Sawamura's son's, that leopard yours ⁉"

Among the young people in Japanese football, there are the most talked about players.

That's a player who is slightly sixteen and is very active in Italian Uvetos FC this season.

Hyoma Sawamura... In other words, he is the fruitful son of this Mr. Sawamura.

Clearly, Hyoma Sawamura is the holder of a distinct talent among Japanese football players today.

It is a delicacy that stands on the back of future Japanese football.

Hyoma Sawamura would have liked to have been called to the Olympic Games.

But it was difficult now because of the Uvetos FC schedule.

"What is that leopard you and your rival... what does that mean?

Naoto Sawamura is not the type to tell jokes.

In other words, he will know something about the Nolu Coata.

Probably about the mysterious, German-era Nolu Coata.

You have to listen to this.

"I don't know. Parents don't know about kids. I'll be right behind you."

"Oh, wait..."

But Naoto Sawamura left the conference room without explaining anything.

This happened. There's nothing I can do.

The man has a grasping personality.

Even if I can't follow him, he won't tell me anything now.

"Nolu Kota..."

In the conference room where no one is anymore, I snap one.

A high school student with a tremendous technique who suddenly appeared.

That Sawamura Naoto was also a long-awaited presence.

And Hyoma Sawamura, who plays an active role in Uvetos FC, has recognized him as a competitor.

"No way...... na"

And I had a hunch.

That high school student is going to give the Olympic delegate... no, I have a feeling it's going to be a huge shock to the Japanese football world.
