Amateur Old Man, Enjoy Reborn Football Life

I was confused and stepped on a suit jacket for an adult I didn't know.

"I'm so sorry! If you like, I'll pay for the cleaning!

Even though the other guy was sitting in the field, here's the bad one 100%.

I bow my head and apologize with all my might.

I mastered it during my salaried years, bowing my head with a flat apology.

"Hmm. You don't have to go that far. Young people don't exaggerate these days."

The other person stood up and dusted his jacket, forgiving me.

Pussy looks stubborn, looks pretty scary Ozzy.

But maybe he's actually a good guy.

"Hmm? You... what if it's a Nolu Coata?

"What, yes. Yes..."

Ozzie knew about me.

I'm surprised at something with my eyes round.

But I don't know who they are.

Maybe he's the one watching the football show?

Then it's not strange to know my face.

"You don't know about me, do you?

"Ah... yes? Would I have seen you somewhere?

"At last year's Football Association ceremony, we would have met face to face, though?

Oh, my God. Mr. Ozzie was a member of the Football Association.

Speaking of last year's ceremony, shortly after I was selected as a candidate for the Olympic Games... that was only a solidarity ceremony held at a hotel in Tokyo.

"Were you a football-related person...... sorry, I was understudied"

Apologize honestly for not knowing their faces.

Anyway, there were a lot of football people there then.

That number, more than 200 people involved alone.

I was greeted by so many people that my memories were obscured.

Even more extreme is cooking.

There was a delicious buffet corner at the venue.

I just remember all the names and delicacies of the dishes.

So it's impossible to remember people's faces and names.

I forgot this Ozzie's name, too, but if you ask me, I do feel like we've met somewhere.

"You don't remember this eagle thing, you ⁉"

"Oh, I'm sorry..."

"Hmm, well, fine. It means it was a vessel that far away."

Ozzie wasn't mad at me for not remembering her face.

More like a little lonely.

Turn away from me and turn to Grand.

"Oh, could it be that you were watching football?

Awkward, I decided to change the subject.

All you can see from here is a small football field.

I mean, this Ozzie would have seen it the same way I did.

Maybe I've been watching practice for a while now, more than I have in the circumstances.

Maybe my own children and grandchildren are in that army of football boys?

"My son and grandson don't play football."

"Really...... but football is just fun to watch!

For any generation or level, watching football is fun.

Especially in the growing season, some players suddenly get better.

I'm sure this Ozzie really likes football, too.

But why is a football official coming to this ballpark?

"I'm a graduate of this school...... OB from that elementary school football club. So I watched."

"Oh, I see! You were the one who hit my senior!

Oh, my God. Ozzie says she's from Tama School.

In other words, he will be my senior for more than a few decades.

Plus, from elementary school to college, I've always been in the football club.

Is that why you looked at the elementary school kids in the face and looked like you might miss them somewhere?

"Are the big seniors still playing football? Oh, being in a football association is natural, right? And football is really fun, isn't it?! I love football, too."

No one is bad for a football lover.

Especially now just before the Olympics, and football is booming.

In front of the big seniors, I accidentally rap.

"Soccer... I really like it. I feel more confident that I loved you than anyone else in this Japan. But now I'm a little tired of football..."

Big seniors, who were fine until earlier, suddenly whisper.

He has very sad eyes and stares at Grand.

I don't know the circumstances, but he looked really spicy and painful.

"But you like football, don't you, seniors...?

"I don't know what football is anymore..."

Big seniors get an even sadder look.

I don't know if anything happened, but it looks pretty painful.

There was a wrinkle between my eyebrows.

Maybe it's a football-related job, and I'm worried about something failing.

I want the big seniors to feel better if I can.

But I don't even know what's going on, what am I supposed to do...

◇

"Ah, the ball's gone!

"Brother there! Take the ball!

That is the time.

The ball flew in.

The football boys at the Grand failed and kicked it.

As a gentle high school senior here, do I kick you back cool?

"Okay, I'll give it back! Hmm?...... Ah!

And that's when I came up with an idea.

It was an idea to cheer up seniors.

"Hey, guys. Can your brother get mixed up in football, too?

I speak to the children.

I was wondering if we could mix in a mini-game together.

"Uh, I don't mind! But we're pretty good!

"Brother, you look like you suck at football, okay?

The children didn't know my face.

Because of its plain appearance, it gets branded as a bad football player.

But this won't help either.

I look like a student now.

He's not wearing a soccer uniform, so he's not aware he's an Olympic delegate.

I guess I'm still unknown to the elementary generation, even more plain looking.

Well, let's not worry about this neighborhood.

Anyway, I got an understanding from the elementary school to participate in the OK.

Let's move on to our next move.

"That's why, Senior! Let's play soccer together!

"Hey, what--what--what--what--what--what--what--what--what--what--what--what--what--what--what--what--what--what--what--what--what--what--what--what--what--what--what--what--what--what--what--

"Yes, please use my soccer shoes. I think they're about the same size."

The senior was surprised, but I don't mind moving on.

Hand over your own football shoes for the big senior in leather shoes.

The sights would be just about the same size.

"They do come in the same size... but why would I have to play soccer with you and those kids ⁉"

I have also assumed this reaction of the big seniors.

"Uh, maybe, seniors, you suck at football? Are you afraid of losing to elementary school students or me?

I provoke like a child.

At the same time, we will teach the elementary school students to be in tune.

"Hey, brother. Doesn't that grandpa play soccer?

"That's right, brother. You can't let Grandpa push you, 'cause my mom said so."

"" "That's it, that's it!

Elementary school kids are eating up at my provocation.

Defend the grandfather seniors for them.

"Don't be ridiculous! Who do you think I am? ⁉ Even though I'm old, I'm not looking at youngsters like you!

Big seniors put on shoes and take off their jackets.

His face turned bright red and he came down to the grand.

"Okay. Well, let's all get started! At first, in this group!

Shiatsu.

The operation went well.

Football gives power to people who are not well.

That's why we decided to play soccer, involving an unwell senior.

"Okay, we're all going. Scary Ozzie over there seems to be good, so be careful!

"" "Yeah, okay!

The team decided to play against my team and the big senior team.

I give instructions to elementary school students on my team.

I will be captain, albeit temporary.

"Hey, kids! That guy... you can't hit that high school student with three guys! The support is washy!

"" "Yeah, okay!

The big senior gives instructions to his team.

That's football officials, precise instructions.

You can't be alarmed about this.

"Well, I'll go, big senior!

Finally, the mini-game begins.

All of a sudden I had a scene with a big senior to fight one-on-one.

I play dribbly with moderate force.

"Don't lick me, Nolu Courta!

"What?"

It wasn't if I was being modest.

What a big senior took the ball.

Even though I was being modest, it's just the way it is.

"I... I've been kicking balls ever since Japan didn't have soccer like I do now! It's a different year!

"Oh, I see! Awesome!"

Take the words of a big senior while playing.

Certainly not as intense as a young man in the play of the older seniors.

But I know we're just playing together.

The amount of practice that seniors have piled up so far is considerably less than half.

From elementary school until now, I guess I've been chasing the ball for an interminable amount of time.

He was the owner of skillful craftsmanship.

"Then I respect you, too, and I will give you my full strength!

I stopped helping.

I bump into him with all the moves I can to show respect for the big seniors.

"Eh heh... what do you say, big senior?

"Don't do it, Nolu Courta! Then our team is going to the counter!

Seniors have immediately fought back.

It's a play rule with no offside, so I'm going to set up a counter.

"What an adult counter ⁉"

"Don't call me Old Man, Nolu Kota."

"Damn...... then we're going to the counter too, guys!

"" "Ooh!

From then on, we'll attack both sides.

It becomes an indiscriminate fight.

It's a play rule with no keepers, so the dots go all over each other.

We all went after the ball even and kicked the ball with all our might.

"Hey, wait! Nolu, Coata! Hey, guys, don't build walls!

"" "Roger!

The last one was in a state of being anything.

Anyway, it was better to put the ball in, and it was in a situation like that.

"All right, big senior. At the end of the day, a team of two adults, me and a big senior. The opponent should compete in a group of all elementary students!

"Two to twelve. And ⁉ Hey, Nolu Courta! Exactly, for the age of the eagle..."

"" "Well, how about it!

Football is a really fun sport.

Large adults deal with elementary school students, get mucky and chase the ball.

This is how we enjoyed ourselves irrespective of our enemy allies.

◇

"Ah! It's time to get home, guys!

"Bye, brothers! Let's play again!

Time was running out at some point.

Elementary school students return home with dissolution before dark.

All that remained in the Grand was me and two seniors.

Too shaky for me and the big seniors, they were falling into the ground.

"That was fun, seniors..."

"Hmm... more work for the elderly, you Nolu Kota..."

The senior was grinning bitterly as he looked up into the sky.

"Ha ha... right. But we all really enjoyed chasing the ball together..."

"Oh... right..."

The big seniors were smiling.

The wrinkles between the eyebrows earlier have already disappeared.

"Soccer has been so much fun..."

The big senior had a blown out look at something and was laughing really vividly.

◇

Then a few days go by.

An urgent press conference was held at the headquarters of the Japan Football Association.

It was the Chairman, Mr. Yamaguchi, who attended.

The meeting included the following:

· Taking responsibility for the disturbance caused by this supervisory dismissal, Mr. Yamaguchi resigned as Chairman. However, in order to assume ultimate responsibility, the resignation will take place after the end of the Olympics.

My father, who saw the meeting, said that Mr. Yamaguchi's face, who spoke of resignation, was more serious than ever.

And a blown out look, that it was clear enough.

Also at the press conference, the name of the new director was announced.

· "Naoto Sawamura" is the new director of the Olympic Japan football representative.

◇

Thus a new big wave is coming to Japan's football world.

I got caught up in it before I even knew it.
