Amateur Old Man, Enjoy Reborn Football Life (Booked)

Episode 127: The Crisis of Japanese Football

From the sudden announcement of the Olympic director's dismissal, the night dawns.

The next day starts in the morning, and the whole of Japan will be cut off from that topic.

The press, especially newspapers and TVs, had a series of offensive headlines.

"Immaculate dismissal just before the Olympics ⁉"

"Why I had to dismiss ⁉"

"Was there a dissonance between the association and the director ⁉"

"Adult circumstances prioritizing sponsorship ⁉"

"How does Yamaguchi chairman of the Japan Football Association take responsibility ⁉"

It was making a fuss like this.

Criticism and speculation persisted, especially against the football association, which suddenly dismissed the director.

(This is a shitty vibe...)

I basically don't watch TV.

But you can't just watch it this time.

When I watched TV in the morning, the football critics had a lot of opinions about this case.

Also in street interviews, many citizens have criticised the incident.

(But there's nothing I can do... I'll have to go to school anyway...)

I'm only one of 24 potential delegates.

Besides, I'm a powerless high school student, and I have no right to make any decisions.

So I can't help but udder in front of tv.

He switched his mind and headed to school for morning practice.

Then, as usual, I head to school for a run with Aoi.

It's cloudy today and doesn't feel very good at all.

(Hmm? What, that crowd?

Arrive in front of school.

Discover the crowd in front of the school gate.

What the hell happened this early in the morning?

If you look closely, the crowd is the press.

It was an interview team with cameras and microphones.

What the hell would that be?

"Ah! It's you, Nolu Kota! Let me ask you something about this supervisory dismissal ⁉"

"Was there a discord between the athlete and the director, too ⁉"

"What do you think of the response of this association ⁉"

"What impact do you think it will have on next week's final selection ⁉"

Their target was me.

I was trying to get the candidate members' opinions on this case.

This is a bad situation.

It's hard to escape because you're surrounded.

"Aoi, we're getting away with a dash!

"Yeah, brother!

The press was rather murderous.

It's not the kind of atmosphere you're answering.

We broke through the press with a dash.

Successfully escape into the school grounds.

Later there will be a guard, so the media won't be able to follow him either.

(This is getting worse than I expected...)

I was heading to the Grand, feeling the unpleasant air.

Today's press force was murderous until unusual.

It's like a different vibe from previous meeher, wide-show interviews.

Obviously, there was an aggressive will.

(This sounds like a lot of hard work for everyone in the club and my classmates...)

With a lot of anxiety, I run through the school grounds.

After that, it felt exactly as I had expected.

In the morning practice from 6: 00, everyone in the department is asked a lot of things.

"I wonder who the new director of the delegate will be..."

"Coata, are you okay? If anything happens, we'll help!

"Leave it to us, Coata! Even so, I can't do much! Ha-ha-ha..."

Everyone in the football club worried about me like that.

No criticism of the association, positive attitude.

It was a very grateful reaction and I was able to stay focused on my morning practice.

"Ping Pong Pam Pong ~ N ♪ Two years, Nolu Kota, you must come to the school director's office as soon as possible"

After morning practice, he called again on the on-campus broadcast.

Go to the dean's office like before.

"This time too, the pre-school press will be handled by me"

The school director, just like last time, had already hit me in the hand.

The interview team in front of the school gate will also be gone, he said.

That doesn't seem to annoy any other students or everyone in the football club in the future.

This school director is basically a super competent person.

He's getting a lot of help even with me.

Then go back to class, Mr. Nolu Kota.

"Yes, thank you!

The story from the school director ended safely.

I'm leaving the dean's office in gratitude.

"And he's a Genji Row... why, at a time like this, he's a director..."

Hmm?

The school director was small when he left, and he was squealing like that.

It was a very small voice, but it sounded like hell to me.

(Genjilow...... who are you talking about? Oh, come on!

It was a name I had never heard of.

Maybe I heard wrong.

Never mind, I went back to my class.

Return to class and join the first limit late.

The rest time after that was the hardest part of the day.

"Coata, are you okay?

"Still, it's a strange story to be changing directors at this time of year"

"Oh. What's the Football Association thinking ⁉"

"Perhaps corruption inside the association is definitely the problem ⁉"

That's what all my classmates looked like.

Many people worry about me.

But most of them are criticized by associations.

Everyone in the class will have seen the news and newspapers this morning.

"I'll be fine. I can't tell you anything because I have a duty of confidentiality about the future. Sorry, guys."

For now, I'll answer everyone in my class like that.

The response around here is as per the Compliance Course manual.

As an Olympic candidate, you have to be careful what you say to your friends.

(Even so, you have a shittier vibe than I expected...)

While taking that day's class, I will investigate the atmosphere in the school.

Many of the students outside the football club were critical of the association.

At this minute, there would be such minor opinions flying around in schools across the country.

I managed to get the class done safely and the club was done.

"I'm home!

When I get home, I'm going to talk to my family about today.

"Even Dad's company felt the same way."

"The sunflower and the class were just like your brother."

"My neighbors told me the same thing."

Three other families said they had been asked a lot this morning.

At the same time, many of the people around them said they were criticizing the football association.

(I'm sure all over Japan, this is what it looks like...)

The influence of the media is great in Japan.

Some Japanese are even more susceptible.

So the general public would have received information such as TV in between.

I will sum up my public impressions in this case as I listen to them from my family.

-The players are pathetic.

There was a problem inside the Japan Football Association.

-The culprit is probably on the board and Chairman Yamaguchi.

The Japanese representative falls apart.

-The Olympics also saw a disastrous defeat.

· Japanese football retreated from the world for another twenty years in this case.

It was just a minor image like this.

(That's a worse situation than I imagined. The dong atmosphere is going to get worse as it is...)

Football has taken root in Japan and has only been around for a little over twenty years. Only for that shallow portion, it also cools fast.

As it is, the interest of the people in Olympic football will dwindle.

And the scariest thing is the danger that Japanese football itself will have a bad image.

(Japanese football image down...... this is bad......)

Ole, who was a socialite in his previous life, knows the fear of a social image.

There was a risk that the sponsors would stay away from football if the atmosphere stayed the same.

Sponsored revenue underpins much of J-League revenue in this era.

In other words, the downsizing of the image causes a lot of damage to the Japanese professional league.

(Pro football retreat and decline or... this sucks...)

In the history of world football, there existed a country that made the same case and retreated.

If it ever recedes, then it's gonna be a big deal.

Some countries have not recovered their credibility after more than a decade.

(I need to do something... but all this time, there's nothing I can do...)

This case isn't in history. Every single one.

I can't solve anything with memories of my past life.

(Anyway, I'll just have to do what I've always done... OK, let's change our minds!

I'm a regular sophomore in high school now. Forced to move, things don't get any better.

That's why I decided to focus on football.

That's all I can do right now.

Then a few days go by.

The public had the same atmosphere.

The media and experts criticize the football association. Besides, the people will be in tune.

"Poll says no expectations of Olympic football ⁉"

"Japan Rep, High Chance of Qualifying League Loss ⁉"

"Intimate on the darkness of the Japan Football Association ⁉"

The public's expectations of Olympic football representatives were diminishing.

"Bye, guys!

In the meantime, I was working as usual.

I'll finish class today, and I'll leave the school building behind.

"Oh, speaking of which, are you off practice for the department today? Well, what am I going to do..."

Football club practice is off due to convenience today.

I can't use it to fix the grand.

I only have a hobby for football, so I don't have much time after school.

"Shall we go straight home and practice our own volition? Or shall we practice near school? Well, what do we do?

Everyone in the department had gone downtown to play.

But I only have a hobby for football.

I roll around the school, thinking about the practice area.

"Hmm? Is this the sound of kicking a soccer ball?

I was walking on the grounds of a vast school and I could hear football.

Like a bug gathered in the light, I am attracted to you in a habitual way.

"Oh, it's a football field! Is this where you were? Is this elementary school?

The arrival point is the premises of the small part of the school.

I heard elementary school kids playing football.

"After the club, are you practicing to stay?

There were no adults on the ground, only children.

They would be playing football of play, after the club's atmospherically done.

Several elementary school students were playing mini-games.

"Sounds like everyone's having fun..."

All the children were playing football with a smile on their faces.

The grades and genders are falling apart, but everyone seems to enjoy playing.

"I miss something..."

I also used to play with my lingering practice like that during the Hiromae Riverillo period.

I was always chasing the ball with you, leopards, sunflowers, and all my teammates.

A fun time, mixed practice and play.

Just watching it is a sight that really makes my heart pound.

"... Hey, you there"

"Hmm?"

It is then.

Suddenly from my feet, I heard someone.

Why do you hear people from my feet?

Is that an illusion?

But obviously, he's talking to me.

"You're stepping on my clothes!

It was not an illusion.

I was treading on someone else's suit jacket with sneakers.

The other guy, he was pretty angry.

Even though I was in love with elementary school, what a scandal.

"What? Uh ⁉ su, sorry! I'm so sorry!

This is how misfortune comes to me.

As I chased the dark clouds of the future of Japanese football, I became a bee on the crying side.
