Amateur Old Man, Enjoy Reborn Football Life (Booked)

Episode 119: Final Qualifying Start

Mid-January of the year when the Olympics were there.

I came to a country in the Middle East.

"Oh, wow! There's a group of buildings in the desert!

The purpose of the country of arrival is to participate in the final Olympic Asian qualifying round.

Seeing the capital where the qualifying takes place, I get an inspiring voice.

Together now in previous life, this was my first experience coming to the Middle East.

On a direct bus from the airport, I am impressed by the view outside.

By the way, some of the large buses rented out were boarded by Olympic delegates and staff.

"Oh, this is the football studio! That's so splendid!

We arrived at the studio where the game takes place.

I get a voice unexpectedly for its splendid appearance.

Modern stadiums were in front of us, as we had never seen in Europe.

(No, that's great oil money...)

This country is one of the leading crude oil-producing countries in the world, and the current king is a big football lover.

That's why the football stadium had a lot of money on it.

"The facilities in the stadium are awesome... this looks like a nice way to play qualifying"

Even after moving to the stadium, I am impressed many times as I inspect.

The average temperature in this country is quite high.

But right now in winter, it's about 20 degrees and it's moderate. Even lower humidity and no discomfort.

Summer in Tokyo may be tighter for soccer players than this.

"Coata, you're a lot of hashayde, aren't you?

"Isn't that too relaxing, Coata?

"How nervous we are..."

I am told that by all the representative Members who are acting together.

They were indeed nervous about seeing it or not, inspecting it together.

"Bo, I'm nervous for once too..."

It's awkward to be floating around just one person.

I laugh bitterly and pretend to be nervous.

As it stands, the Japanese delegate line will practice to check the stadium's lawn.

(Probably too floating... gotta be careful...)

I'm the less nervous type, but the Olympic Games, which just put the country's prestige on, are just as nervous.

But I'm not so nervous in this final Asian qualifying round.

There was a big reason to be relaxed.

(At any rate, this final qualifier confirms Japan's “passage"!

I have memories of my previous life, and I know the history that will happen.

I was pretty confident about my memory, especially about the football relationship.

According to this, the Japanese team can successfully break through this final Asian qualifier.

That's why I was relaxed when I came in.

(According to history, only Japan has broken through the qualifying league... and should manage to win the final tournament afterwards)

While practicing in the stadium, I follow my memories again.

A total of sixteen countries will participate in the final qualifying round.

Each qualifying league will be held for the final tournament in the next eight countries.

Ultimately, the top three countries that won the tournament will be able to move on to the Olympic Games in August.

(Japan should only finish second in the end...)

Olympic delegates of this era are so strong in the Asian district.

But Asian football levels are also quite high. We have to do everything we can without alarm.

(But I'll do my best to get ready, but I need to stay out of the game as long as I can...)

I just need to tell you a secret here.

Actually, I've been feeling down lately... pretending.

If we keep this up, even in the final qualifying round, the bench standby will be finalized.

(We need to make sure that history doesn't change...)

Anyway, I'm not one of the leading members of the past life.

If you compete poorly in the first place in the game, the result could change.

That's why he was overseeing an appeal he wasn't feeling well so he wouldn't be elected a stammer.

(I'd really like to be in the final qualifying game too, but you don't have to change it!

For my own football greed, I was patient not to change history.

I can't even predict what will happen, especially if it's also an Olympic qualifying round.

That's why we decided to move on with the final qualifying round.

(And I can't go to the game. But I have a lot to study and practice!

Just watching national matches from the bench makes me learn a lot.

Besides, I practice with high level representative members with a lot of experience gained.

(Asian qualifying... I need to study while I'm willing and supportive!

Thus, my final Asian qualification… the qualification for Japan's passage began just as I watched.

After a few days of practice adjustment, the final qualifying period had finally begun.

"Oh, Japan is doing well!

The qualifying league by four countries starts first.

In doing so, Japan was doing well.

Decorate the first battle with white stars and also win the second.

"Oh, wow! Awesome, folks!

I give a moving voice as I watch the game up close.

Watch the game on the bench, as per prior maneuvers.

I was sincerely satisfied with the intensive game.

(Ok. So far so historic......)

Japan's third game is a draw.

Now with two wins and a minute to go, he was able to break through the qualifying league with a first-place pass.

By the way, the contents of the game are exactly the same as the scorer, the previous life.

With me on the bench, we're on track.

(If we keep this up, the final tournament looks ok too!

I really wanted to be in the game, and I was wuss.

But this place is patient.

If I don't do anything like this, Japan will be able to finish the final in second place.

(What I'm trying to do is make it a qualifying league final. Then there's no problem!

Japan's second-place and Olympic appearance will be confirmed if it goes to the finals.

If you mean it from there, history shouldn't change that much.

Thus the qualifying leagues, as in autoplay, went well.

After a few days, the final tournament finally started.

The winners were the eight mighty Asian nations.

From here it is a series of one-shot battles in the tournament method.

(The opponents of the first battle are quite mighty...)

The first game of the tournament had begun.

The game is unfavourable to Japan.

Just now the second half has just started.

Japan is losing 0-on-1.

If we lose like this, Japan loses in Game 1 of the tournament.

I can't move on to the Olympic Games.

That's why the Japanese bench is surrounded by considerable tension.

(hehe...... you guys, it's ok. hehe......)

Inside such a Japanese bench, there was only one athlete who was not nervous.

The player's name is Nolu Kota... I mean, it's me.

(Ladies and gentlemen, Japan can win this game!

There's a reason I can afford it.

Because Japan triumphs brilliantly in reverse this second half.

That this is history and confirmation.

That's why I was making room.

(Ooh, the game is moving... Soon, is it time for a reversal?

Explore the memories of previous life.

If it's just a story here, a memory about football, I'm confident no one can beat it.

When, where, what game, what it was like.

I remembered it to some extent.

Well, instead, there are other things that I've inadvertently forgotten, sometimes.

No, I wonder if there's a...

Forgetfulness around here may be a recoil with too much memory.

Let's not worry too much.

(After this play, Okawa, who is only on his way, scores a goal of the same point. After that, Japan on stream all at once should make an extra point and win the reverse 2-on-1!

Consistent with the course of the game, recalling the history of previous life.

Up to this point, it is a game unfolding as it has been in history, and it will be reversed smoothly.

(Come on, Okawa, please! Have a magnificent similarity goal!

I gaze sideways at the bench.

The figure of the Okawa player who is supposed to compete on his way out already, to find him.

Put expectations on his promised path of victory.

(Hmm? Is that...?

But wonder happened.

I don't see Ogawa on the bench.

(Is that it? Is it possible we're going first today?

Maybe I accidentally missed it.

Check out the Japanese representative members fighting on the pitch.

(Is that...? He's not here? How come there's no Ogawa player?

I'm desperate to find his place.

Would he be in the stadium athlete's seat as a refrain?

No... Ogawa is not sitting in that seat either.

(Ah... ⁉)

It is then.

I remind myself of something.

(Okawa-san... Okawa-san wasn't there!

I joined the team, history changed, and there was only one player who lost the race.

The person's name is Mr. Okawa.

I mean, I'm out of line because I'm a representative.

(This is a mess...)

I'm getting a nasty sweat.

Now Japan is losing 0-on-1.

Otakawa, destined to open it, is not here.

In other words, history has changed to the worse.

(What to do...)

This is how we, the representatives of Japan, fell into a crisis that prevented us from moving on to the Olympic Games.
