I am practicing in Tokyo

Chapter 51 Ersa Dream?

The game entered the intermission, and Jose in the stands watched Fujii and a group of players walk into the tunnel.

"I feel that the opponent's strength is still too weak. The gap is too big in comparison. It is impossible to measure his upper limit level."

Jose frowned. If the opponent were the U18 team from the La Masia Youth Training Camp, his statistical work would be much easier. The ordinary high school team in the island country, even if it is the winner selected from the county-level local competition,

It's not that strong either.

When he meets a strong team from the island country like Aomori Yamada, he should be able to show his full strength, and then the observation records during this period can be sent back to the club.

He made the decision to end the inspection of Fujii Shu two months in advance, hoping to sign him and send him to Barcelona before head coach Vilanova resigned due to illness.

"It's already 4-1. In the second half, we tightened our defense and saved our energy. There are six rounds in the national competition. If we can reach the finals in twelve days, it will be a high-intensity game every two days. We must calculate the distribution of our energy.

"

Coach Fukai laid out tactics for the players in the locker room. Although everyone had developed the physical fitness to play the entire game in Tokisu, the consumption of one match for two days was astonishing. The later the players reached the later stages, the more dangerous their physical fitness became, making it difficult for them to perform normally.

strength.

"Hi! I understand."

Everyone nodded. The execution of the Hachioji High School team was quite good. After Fujii drank the water, the precious rest was over. The starting eleven did not make any adjustments and stood back on the football field again.

At the kick-off in the center circle, a high school team came forward and pressed hard. The 4231 formation almost turned into a 406 formation. They pressed hard from a high position without any effort, and kept passing long passes towards Yuya Tanaka in the middle. Fujii Shu retreated to the backcourt.

Against Yuya Tanaka who was very active.

A long pass came to Tanaka Yuya. At 1.88 meters tall, he used his height advantage to prepare for a header. However, Fujii, who was half a head shorter than him, jumped up from the ground with an astonishing bounce. He touched the football first and shook his head to clear the ball.

Restricted area before going out.

How is that possible?! His athletic ability is too strong!

Before Tanaka Yuya even landed, an exaggerated expression appeared on his face. Wasn't his proud header ability not as good as his opponent?

So naive, young man.

Fujii noticed Yuya Tanaka's shock. His current physical fitness can easily defend James alone. Maybe O'Neal at his peak can use his tonnage advantage to fight. In football with less direct physical confrontation, he is the Heisei Superman.

The ball possession rate on the field gradually shifted from one side of the balance to the high school team, but they still failed to score a goal. Today, Senior Nagahama was particularly motivated, blocking several attacks and making several fierce and reasonable collisions.

The players on the high school team no longer dared to walk into the middle area he was guarding.

Time passed by seconds, and until the forty-five minutes of the second half were completely exhausted, neither high school team could score a goal. The referee was holding on to the time, and it was 4-1. There was no need to add additional time, and the game was stopped directly.

In the first round of the national competition, the Hachioji High School team played against the Ichijo High School team, with a score of four to one. Hachioji High School won and advanced to the second round.

"It's over. There is no suspense. Hachioji High School, which has outstanding offensive players like Fujii Shu and Fukuda Shogo, easily defeated Ichijo High School. I saw that Hachioji High School coach Fukai Masaki did not make any substitutions during the whole process, nor did he stand up to give guidance.

It seems that the opponent’s level is too weak to create any pressure.”

After explaining for an hour and a half, Matsuki Yasutaro took a sip of water and came to a conclusion. Sergio next to him smiled and added.

"In this game, Hachioji High School's No. 13 offensive midfielder Fujii Shu played very reasonably. He scored two goals and one assist. This is how he should play. If the ball is given to the star, it can be converted into effective data."

"The young players of the Ichijo High School team are very frustrated. I don't blame them. They have tried their best to play a good game for the fans on the sidelines and the audience in front of the TV. Please keep up the good work! Next year, we will also play a good game."

I hope they will stand here, sweat and cheer for their youth!"

Matsuki Yasutaro gave a few words of encouragement. The losers on the green field sat down and covered their faces. One game determines the outcome. The loser ends, and the winner has to face more severe challenges. This is the reason why the national competition is so exciting to watch.

"Hitting...well, playing well."

Fujii passed by a few sad people, comforted them, and walked to the sidelines. In an area of ​​​​the stands, there was a red-colored cheering group. Some of the faces had been appearing since the game against Horikoshi High School.

"Thank you for your support, thank you very much!"

There are six to seven hundred members in the cheering group, which is already a huge amount of support for him who is just a high school player.

He took off his upper body jersey and threw the best player commemorative ball given by the referee into the stands area of ​​the supporting group.

There was a wave of people, and the gifts he gave out were snatched away by members of the support group. He smiled and walked into the player tunnel.

If we keep playing like this, we may not have enough jerseys!

He suddenly thought of this and heard footsteps approaching from behind.

"How is it? I performed well!"

It was Suhara who was sweating, and Fukuda Shogo who was smiling.

"It's not bad, I didn't waste the ball I passed."

Encouragement should be encouraged. Fujii Shu patted Suhara on the shoulder. The three of them were about to turn the corner when they were stopped by a white man with long brown hair.

"Excuse me, Fujii-san."

Jose handed over his business card to Fujii, who was among the three. He had an unkempt beard and it looked like he had been neglected at first glance, but his tall nose bridge and three-dimensional facial contour made him a handsome guy with an 8.5 rating for his age.

Around thirty, I have a sense of decadence and vicissitudes of life.

"Huh? I saw you on the sidelines of the school football field."

Qi Yuan tilted his head and looked at the man in front of him. Jose turned around from leaning against the wall, holding a half-burned cigarette in his mouth and a luggage bag at his feet.

"Phew! Really? My purpose of coming, the information on the business card has already explained it."

Jose blew out a mouthful of white smoke and choked it on Suhara's face. Next to him, Fukuda Shogo read the English introduction on the business card.

Jose Victor/La Masia Youth Academy/Intermediate Scouting.

"Asshole! A guy with no manners at all."

Suyuan coughed several times, but Shogo Fukuda stretched out his hand to hold him back.

"He is a scout from La Masia, looking for Fujii-san."

Shogo Fukuda's hands were trembling a little. His purpose of joining Hachioji High School midway was to receive instructions from the FC Tokyo club he signed with to find a way to bring Fujii Shuya into the team. Deep in his heart, he also longed to have such a talented teammate around him.

Together they became famous in the J-League of the island country.

La Masia?

Although Fujii doesn't have a dream about Barcelona, ​​he has heard about the dream team Barcelona's youth training camp. He remembered that in September, he and Messi recorded a TV show. It was Messi who played in Barcelona.

Did you introduce yourself to Barcelona?
