Captain Tsubasa: Peak of Glory

Wakabayashi Genzo was still wearing a red cap, a red and white T-shirt, brown casual pants, and red sneakers. He stood at the end of the corridor with his hands in his pockets and a smile on his face.

Wakabayashi Genzo! Xiaoyi was surprised, but immediately smiled happily.

Wakabayashi!

Wakabayashi!

The people in Nankatsu also ran towards Wakabayashi happily while shouting. . .

"Wakabayashi, when did you come back to Japan?" Lai Sheng asked immediately.

The people in Hara Shuzhe Elementary School also asked in unison.

"It seems that each of you is very energetic. Let's talk slowly." . . Wakabayashi looked around at everyone and said happily.

"Wakabayashi, when did you come back from Germany?" Xiaoyi asked.

"I said that I would not come back until I became a professional player, but the Hamburg football team I am in is going to an expedition to an Asian country this time, so I came back to Japan earlier than I thought," Wakabayashi explained.

"As expected of you, Wakabayashi Genzo! But, can't you become a professional football player in Germany now?" Shi Qi Liao said doubtfully.

"Yes, the football level in foreign countries is really high. When I first went there, I even shot another player in the nose," Wakabayashi recalled.

Ah... . . Everyone in Nankatsu looked incredulous.

"I'm not exaggerating at all. To foreign players, my football skills are just like those of the Nankatsu players who played against us in elementary school but couldn't score. So I have to work hard to catch up with their level in the future," Wakabayashi said confidently.

"Wakabayashi... what are you talking about?" . . Shi Qi covered his face with a look of despair.

Hahaha! Everyone immediately laughed.

"That's right! By the way, I haven't congratulated you on entering the finals yet!" Wakabayashi said.

"No, thank you!" Xiaoyi said modestly.

Then Wakabayashi looked at the crowd and leaned against the wall with his arms folded, and teased Shinmoto Feng: "Xiaofeng! You suddenly ran back to Japan to participate in the game. Is there no problem with the club?"

"Tsk! Of course there is no problem. You! You should take care of yourself more. It was not just a nosebleed back then. Your nose and face were bruised and swollen! You should maintain your position as the starting goalkeeper!" Shinmoto Feng squinted his eyes and teased with a face that deserved a beating.

You! . . . Wakabayashi said with gritted teeth, and then turned into a helpless smile, revealing a trace of warmth in his heart. Thinking back to when he first joined the Hamburg team, he was ostracized. The Hamburg youth players all looked down on this oriental goalkeeper from the football desert. Not only could he not catch a ball, but he was also kicked black and blue. This scene happened to be seen by Shin Benfeng who came to Germany from Spain to visit him. He showed his strong strength on the spot and overwhelmed all the Hamburg players on the field. No one could stop Shin Benfeng who was serious. This improved his situation and he would no longer treat oriental players as rubbish as before. And he finally gained a foothold with his growing strength.

"Uh! Are European players so strong? Even Wakabayashi's situation at that time was..." . . After being shocked, the people of Nan Ge asked Wakabayashi about the details of the situation at that time.

Ignoring the curious Nankatsu players, Wakabayashi turned to look at Xiaoyi and continued, "Xiaoyi, I heard what you said just now. For your future, I think you should not play tomorrow, but with your personality, I know I can't persuade you not to play, so this time I want to take you to visit our team's dormitory, and I want you to see our team's military doctor."

Ah?! Xiaoyi was extremely surprised.

"Oh, that's good. Dr. Shuton from Germany is very famous in the European sports medicine community. I think he can help you, Xiaoyi. Go!" The team doctor in the venue touched his chin with his fingers and looked thoughtful, and interrupted.

"Yes! Thank you very much, Genzo!" Xiaoyi said sincerely.

"It's a small matter, Xiaoyi! Don't worry about it," Wakabayashi shook his head, then looked at the lazy Shinbenfeng and said, "Xiaofeng, go together, many friends will want to see you."

On the road outside Tokyo, Wakabayashi Genzo, Shinmoto Kaze, and Ozora Tsubasa were sitting in a taxi on their way to the Hamburg Youth Football Team in West Germany.

Shinmoto Kaze was dozing off in the passenger seat, while Wakabayashi and Tsubasa were sitting in the back seat, staring straight ahead, with different thoughts in their minds.

"Tsubasa!" Wakabayashi suddenly said.

Uh! What's the matter? Tsubasa asked.

"I saw your long shot in the game today. Is that the "arc shot"? It's really amazing," Wakabayashi said affirmatively.

That long-distance shot was the last "curve shot" Robert passed to me before returning to Brazil."Curved shot", Xiaoyi replied happily.

Your football skills are getting better and better. I think in Japan, Wakabayashi glanced at the dozing Shinbenfeng in the front row and continued: "Except for you and Xiaofeng, no one knows this shooting technique."

"Ah! I'm sorry to be praised like this, the others are also very good!" Xiaoyi immediately said modestly

"It seems that in today's game, even if you are injured, I think your football skills and awareness are far better than other players. Xiaoyi, I think it's time for you to develop abroad like us," Wakabayashi suggested.

Ah! Xiaoyi looked at Wakabayashi in surprise.

Ignoring Xiaoyi's surprised expression, Wakabayashi continued to analyze: "You are close to the top in Japan. If you go to a foreign top team to develop, you will definitely meet many new opponents. In an environment full of strong enemies, I think your football skills will be further improved."

"In fact, our practice all the time is also OK," Xiaoyi did not want to belittle himself, and at the same time saved a sentence for everyone.

"Really? If this continues, our strength will gradually widen the gap," Wakabayashi said sarcastically without any concern.

Hearing this, Xiaoyi frowned and remained silent.

Glancing at Xiaoyi from the corner of his eye, Wakabayashi still patiently explained: "I remember when I first went to Germany for further studies, I had the same idea as you, Xiaoyi, even in the birthplace of football, but I have worked hard to practice my goalkeeping skills, and I think our strength will not be far behind that of foreign players. And at that time, I went to Germany with the mentality that I was the best goalkeeper in Japan, hoping to further fulfill my dream of becoming a professional player, but this idea was broken by someone within a few days of arriving there, just like Xiaofeng said before, I was kicked black and blue by their fast shots."

Recalling this, Wakabayashi smiled miserably, paused and continued: "At that time, the only way I could fight was to hold the spirit of never giving up psychologically, and then constantly mocked them for shooting at me. Later, after my practice and hard work, I was finally able to catch their shots. . . However, I met a local talented player later. His first shot was casual, and I just managed to block it with my hands and the strength of my face. Then he got serious and shot more than ten times in a row, and I didn't catch a single ball."

"Is this guy you are talking about Karl Heinz Schneider?" Shinmoto Feng opened his eyes and interrupted.

"Yes, it was Schneider who had a brief confrontation with you that year," Wakabayashi nodded.

"When I visited Wakabayashi at the Hamburg football practice field, I was only slightly better in the brief confrontation with this guy, and I could feel that this guy didn't use his full strength, but I was the same, but I don't know how strong he is now? ! Three years ago, maybe I didn't have the confidence to win, but now... Haha, I'm really looking forward to it, Schneider! "Xin Benfeng thought in his heart.

Wakabayashi said seriously: "After that, I received the shot from Schneider. When I came to Germany, my first goal was Schneider. At that time, he was already called the 'football emperor' by the German football community. When I first met him, I found that his shot was more powerful than Xiaofeng's shot in the match with the Minghe team."

Ah! Xiaoyi's eyes widened instantly.

Seeing Xiaoyi's reaction, Wakabayashi continued to stimulate: "Not only that, Xiaoyi, I think his strength is better than yours at that time. In these three years, I have been competing with others. Among the opponents I met, I found that there are also, including the midfield commander and captain of the French youth team, the artist on the football field, 'Alushido Bill', and the ace shooter of the Uruguayan youth team, the player known as the South American Black Panther, 'Raymond Vitoriano', the ace of Argentina, who has the title of a rare genius player in a thousand years, 'Juan Diaz', and finally the representative of the Italian youth team in Italy, which is rich in first-class goalkeepers, who has the title of Europe's No. 1 steel goal ‘Gino Hernandez’, his goalkeeping skills are definitely world-class. In addition to you, Tsubasa, there are many talented players in the world who work hard to practice their football every day.

“Great! I really hope to play against them soon!” Tsubasa said excitedly when he heard that there are so many powerful players in the world.

“Yes, Tsubasa, you should also leave Japan as soon as possible to challenge players from all over the world!” Wakabayashi said earnestly.

Challenge the world?! Tsubasa murmured with anticipation.

“Oh! These guys! I am really looking forward to your current strength! This is interesting!” Shin Benfeng looked ahead with a gleam in his eyes.
