The Rebirth of the Net King

Chapter 202 First Battle
The time passed with everyone feeling a little nervous, and soon came two days later.

The French U-17 World Cup has officially begun!

"Hurry up!"

Under the constant urging of the three boats, everyone boarded the bus with the neon team logo one by one.

The spacious bus was filled with people soon, with Mifune Irimichi and the coaches sitting at the front, and Tezuka and others sitting at the back.

Yes, even junior high school students were brought along.

"I feel like my blood is starting to boil!"

Kaji said excitedly.

"Be careful before you start the fight, you will explode because of boiling!"

Tohno Atsukyo joked.

"Student Daqu, are you interested in forming a doubles match with me?"

Irie smiled at Omagura Ryuji, who was separated by the aisle.

"Forgive me, I don't want to play doubles alone!"

Daqu Ryuji slapped his forehead and smiled helplessly.

"Hahaha! I said Irie, I don't think anyone here would want to form a doubles with you."

Seeing this, Taneshima laughed out loud.

Indeed, Irie's unique game style can easily cause both opponents and teammates to have cerebral hemorrhage at the same time.

To team up with him in doubles, you have to pass the mentality.

The bus was full of laughter and laughter, and Mifune glanced at Byodo-in Temple on his right hand, where he was resting with his eyes closed.

He didn't stop the conversation of the high school students behind, because Mifune knew that this was their relaxation.

Using small talk to distract them from the pressure of the upcoming game, self-regulation is what a good player should do.

The bus is driving on the streets of Paris. Because of this U-17 World Cup, the streets of Paris seem to have become lively.

The economic benefits brought by such a sports event to the local area are also immeasurable.

A large number of tennis fans came from all over the world to watch this event.

They will make an important contribution to the economy of Paris.

"The World Cup venue is just around the corner!"

"Okay! Come on, everyone!"

The players of the Neon team got off the bus in an orderly manner. In the player entrance area, buses carrying players from various countries arrived one after another.

The England team wears a white uniform with red cross stripes and the England flag embroidered on the chest.

The right shoulder is full of stars, with red stripes, and the American team with the American flag embroidered on the upper body.

He was wearing a black jacket with the eagle logo of King Germany embroidered on the left shoulder.

Uniforms of various colors appeared on the scene and walked towards the venue in an orderly manner.

At the opening ceremony, with the impassioned speeches of officials from the World Tennis Association and the French Tennis Association, the World Cup has officially kicked off.

The group stage of the World Cup was arranged at the French Tennis Center in Paris.

It was a large tennis court big enough to hold 5000 people.

Of course, not all countries have competitions on the first day, and the time of the competition is also determined by drawing lots.

After all, it is impossible to arrange sixteen games to be played at the same time. In that case, the process of the game will be too fast, and the audience will be caught in a dilemma.

Likewise, the City of Paris and the French Tennis Federation would not have wanted the match to end so early.

But the Neon team had a game on the first day, and the opponent was a player from South Africa.

"Today is the first day of the U-17 World Cup competition. Today's squad against the South African team is."

"Oni Jujiro, Kitajima Hayato, Ito Akimako, Nogarhiro, Kaji Futa, Ochi Moonlight, Tono Atsukyo!"

"Wugu is a substitute player, do you understand!"

Sanfuan took a look at everyone, and announced loudly.

"Yes!"

The people whose names were called were all gearing up with excitement on their faces.

It's finally time for them to perform!

"Come on then!"

"Go enjoy the world!"

After Sanfuan took a sip of wine, he waved his hand, and everyone followed Sanfuan into this grand building and came to their lounge.

Not long after, under the guidance of the staff, they came to the corridor leading to the competition venue.

Crack!

At this time in the arena, from the left and right sides, the spotlights suddenly turned on, causing the focus of the audience to shift to the dark passageway.

Along with the smoke machine ejecting a burst of white smoke, on the ground, the smoke produced by the dry ice machine will create a fairyland-like surrounding.

"Ladies and gentlemen!"

"U-17 World Cup Open!"

"The match between the South African team and the Neon team is about to begin!"

"Next, let's invite players from both sides to enter the arena!"

With the host's voice coming from the speakers, people in neon team uniforms came out of the corridor. Opposite them was a group of black-skinned players in vests, they were from the South African team.

Although the Neon team and the South African team are not ranked high in the world, spectators who have seen high-level games will not mind watching the games of this lower-ranked country.

The audience applauded the two teams in a very respectful manner. The applause from more than ten thousand people resounded throughout the stadium, and could even be heard clearly outside the stadium.

"Is this a world-class game?!"

Yukimura squinted his eyes, being watched by so many people, in such an environment, he would feel pressure unconsciously.

If you don't have enough tenacity, you may be directly crushed by the pressure, and you won't even be able to display your original strength!
"Such a stage that attracts everyone's attention is the place where I should reach the top!"

Atobe didn't feel any nervousness, after all he wasn't a contestant, but even if he was just sitting here, Atobe could feel his whole body trembling with excitement.

This is a good place for Master Atobe to show himself!
"Huh! What a joy!"

Shiraishi leaned gracefully against the wall, his bandaged hand tapped rhythmically on the table in front of him.

Compared with the laid-back junior high school students, the high school students are more serious.

After all, it's almost time for them to play.

"Then, the first game!"

"Ochi Moonlight, Kaji Fengduo! Go and win the first game for us Neon!"

With a wave of his right hand, Kurobe announced the contestants for the first match.

Because Mifune didn't like this kind of noisy scene, he stayed alone in the neon team lounge in the hall.

Watch the game remotely through the TV screen.

The on-site supervision was handed over to the Kurobe trio.

Hearing this, Ochi Moonlight and Kaji Futa stood up.

Ochi Moonlight, who is 226cm tall, and Kaji, who is 175cm tall, have a height difference of 51cm.

Both of them also have white hair, the difference is that Ochi Moonlight's white hair has some blue mixed in it, while Kaji Futa's white hair has curly hair.

Both of them are also speed players, and they are also good at serving and volleying. It seems that the coaches took a fancy to their perfect compatibility, so they formed a pair of doubles partners.

In the South African team, two players, one tall and one short, also stood up.

With dark skin, short hair, and a somewhat burly figure, it looks like he is taking the path of strength.

"Let's start the Neon Team VS South African Team Doubles [-] match!"

"Ochi Moonlight of the Neon team, Kaji Fudo VS Izawanka Achim Peng of the South African team, and Bokamosha Mandela."

"Players from both sides please come on stage!"

With the sound of the horn, Ochi Tsukiko looked indifferent, and Kaji Futa smiled, and the two slowly walked onto the field from the player area.
