I'm in NetKing, and I have a tennis mini-game

Chapter 419: The Swiss coach's determination, the birth of the Demon King Overlord Ghost Team

The region where the Swiss team is located.

When Amadeus returned, the news that Japan had won three consecutive games against Germany in the warm-up matches was already circulating in the team.

"real or fake?"

"Isn't that too much? That's the German team. Could it be that the Japanese team did something excessive?"

"Don't be ridiculous. Even if the Japanese team did something, Germany would never lose given their strength. This must be fake news!"

On the edge of the field.

Many high school and middle school students wearing Swiss team jackets began to discuss the situation privately.

no way.

This news is so exciting.

If we look at the points alone, the strength of the champion German team, or even the sum of the points of the second-ranked Swiss team and the third-ranked French team, is completely unique.

Even though they are ranked second in the world, they cannot guarantee that they can win more than two games in the warm-up matches.

but.

The Japanese team not only won, but also won three games in a row. This news has almost been determined to be fake news.

"The commander is back!"

At this time, a brown-haired young man wearing glasses looked up at Amadeus and asked seriously, "How is the game over there? Is it true?"

Pete Lambiel.

17 is old.

It is called "the embodiment of talent".

He is a very talented player. If Amadeus's brilliance had not been so dazzling, he would definitely be more famous outside.

but.

This was also done intentionally by Ranbir.

Because he also has another identity, he is the Swiss team's advisor, responsible for collecting and collating intelligence. His opinions are often adopted by the coaching staff.

Compared with ordinary players, Lambiel thinks more. Although the news that Japan defeated Germany was too outrageous, he believes that nothing in the world comes without reason.

and.

Even if someone wanted to use the German team to hype up their reputation, they would never choose the Japanese team. At least, they would choose the British or American teams, which are top teams second only to the big four.

"Ah."

In response to Lambier's question, Amadeus nodded seriously: "The news is true. The Japanese team has won three consecutive victories."

"Is it true?"

Hearing this, a sturdy young man with a slightly highland red face and short hair said in surprise: "Isn't this year's Japanese team a little too strong?"

Albert Federer.

17 is old.

He is the strongest power player of the Swiss team and also one of the strongest players of the new generation in Europe.

"By the way, is there a possibility?"

At this time, a voice with a hint of laughter sounded. A few people turned around and saw a handsome boy with brown hair and three teardrop moles on the left corner of his eye said: "The German team didn't take this warm-up match seriously and didn't send out stronger players?"

Henry Nobel III.

14 is old.

He is the strongest junior high school student on the Swiss team and also a top player who reached the semi-finals in the European Junior Tennis Championships.

"That's wrong, Henry."

At this moment.

An old voice sounded behind them.

"Head coach!"

Hearing this, several people immediately stood up straight and looked behind them respectfully. They saw an old man with gray hair walking slowly towards them.

"Well."

Seeing the old man, Henry's face changed slightly. However, he did not show any dissatisfaction when he was refuted.

in contrast.

He also asked very respectfully and humbly: "Head coach, did I say something wrong?"

"You underestimate the Japanese team."

At this time, Amadeus beside him said in a deep voice: "In the three matches, the German team sent out the best players. Bismarck, Becker, Qp! Except for Polk, the German team can be said to have sent out almost all the elite players!"

"what?"

Hear the words.

Lambiel, Federer and others all changed their expressions.

Henry's smile disappeared, and his face tensed. He knew that he had really guessed wrong this time.

"Tell me about it, Amadeus."

The old man, the 82-year-old Swiss team head coach Qin Onokyiha, nodded slightly and said, "What do you think about the next game?"

“Two ways to deal with it.”

Amadeus calmed down and said in a deep voice, "The first option is to give up the chance to qualify as the first place team in the group stage, retain our strength, and focus our main energy on dealing with the Greek and Australian teams."

"Second Type"

At this point, his face suddenly became extremely serious: "Concentrate the main force and defeat the Japanese team in the group stage!"

"All the main forces?"

Hear the words.

Lambiel, Federer and the others looked at each other in shock. In their opinion, this was only necessary when they faced the German team in the group stage, right?
but.

Looking at Amadeus' serious expression, everyone realized that the problem was more serious than they thought.

"Do you have any other suggestions?"

The old man turned his gaze to the other main players, but everyone fell silent.

They knew very well that the fact that Amadeus took them so seriously showed that the seriousness of the matter had exceeded their expectations.

That is the case.

It would be better to implement it according to the commander's plan.

"Then let's do this for now."

The old man nodded slightly: "Everyone cheer up and finish the next warm-up match first. I will make arrangements for the group stage."

"Ok."

Everyone nodded and then dispersed freely.

"gentlemen."

After everyone left, Amadeus calmed down and asked seriously, "Tell me, are there really geniuses in this world who ignore age restrictions?"

When speaking, the captain of the Swiss team had a tone of confusion.

To know.

He is recognized as an absolute genius among the world's high school students and tennis newcomers. In a few years, with Amadeus's strength, he will definitely be able to enter the top 20 in the world, or even higher.

But such a person, at this moment, showed such a depressed look. If seen by outsiders, they would definitely be shocked.

"Why, are there any outstanding players in the Japanese team?"

The old man looked up and asked in surprise.

"Yes."

Amadeus nodded heavily. "He is only 12 years old, but he already has the strength of a professional. Besides, if we fight head-on, I may not be able to defeat him."

"Ok?"

Hearing Amadeus' words, a gleam of brilliance suddenly flashed in the old man's slightly cloudy eyes.

“That person is only 12 years old?”

Even though the old man's emotions had reached a state of calm, he couldn't help but feel a little shocked at this moment.

"I didn't expect that."

But soon, the old man returned to normal. He raised his head, looked at the blue sky, and smiled with emotion: "Nowadays, there are players of this level in Japan again."

while speaking.

The old man seemed to be lost in reminiscence, with many scenes flashing before his eyes, and his expression changing quietly. Finally, he let out a long sigh. "Child, come with me."

The old man came to his senses and turned to walk towards the more secluded stadium.

"Sir, what are you doing?"

Amadeus was a little puzzled, but Qin Onokiya had extraordinary authority in the Swiss team and even in the entire European tennis world.

Even though he looked old and frail at this time, Amadeus followed him after just a slight hesitation.

"It's nothing."

As if he had guessed what the young man was thinking, the old man turned around with a smile and looked at him sharply: "Just prepare, and teach you some small tricks."

Tips?

Amadeus was stunned.

He clearly heard the hidden meaning in the old man's words. The old man's identity emerged in his mind.

It seems that before becoming the head coach of the Swiss team, he was also an extremely dazzling professional superstar in his era and a legendary player!

the other side.

The Japanese team checked into the hotel.

After the morning warm-up match, everyone was asked not to leave the hotel. Among them, Ishikawa, Byodoin and Oni were called to the head coach's room.

now.

Three coaches and three representatives of the players sat on either side of the giant oval conference table. At the main seat was the old man with red nose who changed back into a coarse cloth vest, the head coach of the Japanese team, Mifune Nyudo.

"I think you all have a pretty good idea of ​​the situation in the group stage."

At this time, Kurobe on the right looked at Ishikawa and the other two and said, "According to the rules, the 32 participating teams will be divided into groups of four, and will play against each other in a round-robin match."

"However, according to the rules of the competition, each person can only participate in one of the games."

"So, the head coach called you here to divide the team into three teams. The three of you will draw players and be responsible for one of the games."

It's different from previous World Cups.

This time, the organizers set this rule in order to implement the purpose of taking care of junior high school students and hope that all parties can arrange junior high school students to play as much as possible.

In the past, eight players were enough for a team, with a few substitutes at most, and they could basically play the entire World Cup.

now.

However, due to the change in the rules, many countries whose main players are not strong enough have begun to worry.

However, the Japanese team is not among them.

This year's Japanese team is particularly strong. Not only the high school students, but also the junior high school students, the lineup is so luxurious that even the big four teams would drool at the sight.

Therefore.

Only three ships can give players the greatest degree of autonomy, allowing the three people in front of them to arrange their own team members more reasonably.

"I'll just say one thing."

At this time, Mifune spoke up, "Once the candidates are decided, they cannot be changed. In addition, each team must select at least three junior high school students. The selection will be conducted in an alternating manner, and each person can only select one person at a time."

"Ah."

Ishikawa and the other two nodded.

Given their strength and vision, they naturally wouldn't become hostile to each other just because of the selection of members.

"I'll go first."

At this time, Ishikawa said, "For junior high school students, I'll pick Tachibana-senpai."

"Is Tangerine flat?"

The ghost's brows raised slightly.

He knew this player, he was very strong, but among the junior high school students, he was not even in the top five. It was just that he was able to stand out because Echizen and Akutsu were not there.

That is to say, Ishikawa, who has absolutely strong strength, can make the selection calmly.

"Yukimura Seiichi!"

Byodoin said, "I am very interested in his abilities."

"Tezuka Kunimitsu."

Oni picked the junior high school student who was below Ishikawa and currently ranked second on the Japanese team.

"A thousand years and a thousand miles."

Ishikawa continued to select, and the candidates once again exceeded everyone's expectations. But thinking about it carefully, it made sense.

"Kintaro Toyama!"

But Byodoin Temple was not polite and picked up the demon's disciple.

"Genichiro Sanada."

The ghost did not get angry, but continued to select according to his needs.

The three of them barely paused.

A total of 25 junior high school and high school students, excluding the three of them, were quickly selected.

"good."

Seeing the three of them finish selecting the candidates, Mifune nodded with a smile: "In order to distinguish them, I will give your teams corresponding code names. Ishikawa's is the Demon King Team, Byodoin's is the Overlord Team, and Oni's is the Demon God Team."

"Next, you will draw lots to decide your opponents."

Draw lots?

Hear the words.

The three Kurobe members, who had already made a plan for the game, were stunned. They subconsciously looked at Mifune, and they all felt like they had seen a ghost.

What a joke.

This was a World Cup group match, not a warm-up match. The result of the match would directly determine whether they could qualify from the group stage.

Their opponents, whether Australia or Greece, are not to be underestimated. Moreover, there is also the world's second-ranked Swiss team.

For a moment.

The three of them even thought that Mifune's head was still not clear because he drank too much.

"it is good."

but.

Compared to them, Ishikawa and the other two seemed much calmer. The three looked at Mifune, who threw three crumpled paper balls at them, allowing them to choose.

And they, without any hesitation, each chose one of them.

"All right."

Seeing this, Mifune yawned, put one hand on his head, and waved the other hand impatiently: "The rest is up to you. I'm going to sleep. Don't disturb me before the game starts."

Done.

He lay down and soon began to snore.

"This"

Saito and Takushi were stunned.

what is this?
If he were to be the head coach, he wouldn't feel any pressure, right?

but.

Ishikawa and the other two didn't waste any time, they just stood up and left.

"Well."

Looking at the backs of the three people, Saito and Takushi had an indescribable feeling. Then, the three of them looked at Mifune who was sleeping soundly, and got up and left.

"I think I should understand the head coach's idea."

The moment the door closed, Kurobe seemed to have thought of something and suddenly spoke.

"what?"

Saito and Takushi both looked at him in surprise.

"From the roster arrangement for the warm-up match to the result of the match, he has fully grasped the trend of the next game."

Kurobe said calmly, "Besides, we also have reasons not to worry about the next three games."

"What reason?"

The two were still confused.

But all he heard was Kurobe saying meaningfully: "Because, we are never the ones who should be worried!"
