Amateur Old Man, Enjoy Reborn Football Life

Episode 110: A New Selection

It has been a week since I met Mr. Gade again and it will be Saturday when I was making a promise.

"Um, is the place okay here?

I came to a football practice field in the city, designated by Mr. Gade.

Check the guidance diagram of the entrance to the practice area just in case.

"Is this a soccer training facility? That's a pretty good place, huh?

It was my first place to come, but it was a real place.

There is a proper guard at the entrance and a fence around.

Relax about this, I think I can practice.

"Uh, the designated ground is... oh, is that it?

As you walk on the property, you reach where you want.

It is an artificial grass football practice, with a sign marked A Grand.

Soon it will be designated time, so I will run and go inside the practice area.

"Hmm? Huh? There are other people out there, huh?

I find myself walking into a practice area.

There were about thirty people there first.

Everyone wears a soccer uniform for all fragmented teams.

Everyone feels younger at their age.

What the hell is this all about?

"What about you now that you're late?

I can speak to only one person in that group who wears a suit.

Only this guy is older, so I guess he's the one responsible for this group?

"Uh, I called it the Nolu Coata, and I got this paper."

Hand the paper Mr. Gade gave me to the person in charge.

Now you should not be mistaken for being suspicious.

"Well... you're one of those guys from the recommendation frame..."

The person in charge has looked at my entire body as he narrowed his eyes.

The gaze of this hand is sometimes well directed.

When the value of a football player is measured. This man will be measuring me, too.

"Now put on this bibs and line up in that line"

The person in charge will hand you a numbered bibs.

Whoa, lucky for you, my lucky number 14 again today. I'm glad about this.

Inside the line of thirty, I will also align.

The others, under the bibs, are wearing uniforms.

Team name Ah each team, it is fragmented and has no sense of unity.

"Now we start a special selection with this. I am the head coach in charge of this one. Let me start with a mini-game and show you what you guys are capable of."

Head coach explains to the aligned players.

We're going to build a team of eight, randomly grouped.

He said he would make selections in game format.

Winning or losing is regardless of the selection, when you evaluate an individual's play.

(Hmm? This is... what if?

Listening to the explanation, I find myself.

I got an invitation from Mr. Gade, I've been wondering what this gathering is.

(I see. This is a selection of selected members from the high school generation! Probably)

I guess so, observing the situation around me.

Because I discovered the next few points.

Part 1. The members gathering are older than me in my first year of high school. Probably about third grade in high school.

Part 2. The uniform under their Bibs is for each J-League team. In other words, it would be the athletes of the J-series high school generation youth.

Part 3. The earlier head coach has attached a batch of football associations with small sun circles. In other words, this selection involves the Japan Football Association.

I discovered on these three points.

Then I came up with the answer, and I knew what this gathering was all about.

(Hehe...... Mr. Gade. Looks like you were trying to surprise me again, but you didn't seem to get through to me. I'm not a child anymore)

The atmosphere of this gathering resembles the National Tresen I received in fifth grade.

That's why I was just looking at the atmosphere.

(Nevertheless, a selection of high school generations... I hope you get it...)

There are generations of Japanese representatives in Japanese football.

In this day and age, I can roughly explain from a young order...

-U-12 Japanese delegate in elementary school (some times not officially)

-U-15 Japanese delegate in junior high school (Me and Hyoma participated in fifth grade)

· U-18 Japanese delegate of the high school generation (also known as Youth Japan delegate. This must be it this time)

Other fine times, such as U-20 and U-17, elect finely by generation.

This is also all to cultivate the younger generation and eventually to bottom up the overall strength of Japanese football.

"I'll just tell everyone here one important thing before we start the selection. This time it's not a regular selection! Japanese football has been in crisis in recent years. So those chosen here are expected to play for the future of Japanese football, bearing tomorrow's circle of sunshine! I want everyone to remember that to their liver!

Head coach speaks forcefully to us.

It's a pretty serious look and a pressing air.

(That's a lot of heavy air... even though it's a selection of high school generation delegates...)

I felt bad about the words of the person responsible.

And questions come to mind.

(The previous U-15 didn't have such a heavy vibe, did it? Is there a reason?

Japanese delegates from one generation to another are asked to play lazily.

There wasn't that much heavy pressure to carry Hinomaru or Japan's football future.

Maybe this selection is a little special? Pretty concerned.

"So before we start the selection, does anyone have one last question? What kind of trivial things do you want?

Luckily I had Question Time.

This is my chance to ask questions.

"Uh, head coach. Can I ask you a question?

"Oh, go ahead"

"Yes, thank you. I'm a year in the Tama High School football club, called Nolu Kota..."

I'm allowed to ask questions. I name my place and my name.

As a social experience in previous life, this neighborhood was neat.

"Um, what is this selection like?

I notice after finishing the question. He said it was a very weird and abstract question.

It's not like I'm saying what I want to hear.

"Hmm? Quite sure, that's a good question, Mr. Nolu Kota..."

But the head coach looked a little happy and responded. And keep the words coming.

"Let's ask you again. Next summer, there will be a major event in sport. You know what that is?

"Uh, next summer..."

On the contrary, they asked me questions.

It was sudden, so can I answer right away? [M]

In Japan next year... when I was in high school?

Let's explore the memories of our previous lives.

Historically in previous life, did you mean at the European Football Championships?

Or is it that the football club in South America was in a big turmoil?

When it comes to football, there's too much to put together in one.

Which one are you referring to?

"With that look, you already know, Mr. Nolu Kota."

"What? Oh, yes..."

"As I said earlier, it is next year that we must, at all costs, achieve results! This time we will decide on the remaining four of its representatives, an important special selection!

"" "Oh, all four ⁉" "

The assembled players squeal at the words of the head coach.

Apparently, passing the four was unpublished.

The person responsible would have gotten hot in conversation with me and accidentally put it in his mouth.

"Oh, to be honest, only four of us can join a representative team in this! So I want you to do everything in your power to try!

The person in charge doesn't mind continuing the conversation.

Maybe the type who gets himself drunk on his own words.

But what I want to hear at the heart hasn't come out yet.

Do you think we'll have an answer in a little while?

"In order to make the Osaka Olympics a success next year, you and your team will do your best to compete for the Olympics!

"" "Yes!

Athletes also respond to the head coach's hot words.
