Chapter 11: The Fierce Battle Zone
As soon as Ah Shen's voice fell, the players in Lingnan began to talk about it, and Shigeichi Taoka faintly felt a little stomach pain. Turning his head to look at Yokochi Aida beside him, Hikoichi wrote very seriously, but there were many people and Tagaoka did not have a seizure. I remember when I first saw the grouping, Hikoichi shouted that it was so good, so that Tianoka thought that he was lucky, and it seemed that he was fooled by this kid......
The specific grouping is as follows, with 16 teams divided into four groups and a single-game elimination format. The four teams in the top left corner are from: Akita ~ Nagano ~ Hokkaido ~ Fukui. The four teams in the lower left corner are from: Kanagawa ~ Osaka ~ Nagasaki ~ Chiba. The four teams in the upper right corner are from: Aichi ~ Iwate ~ Kagawa ~ Shizuoka. The four teams in the lower right corner are from: Fukuoka ~ Nara ~ Tokyo ~ Kyoto.
"Ah God, you will tell you in detail, I believe many people don't know much about it." Taoka stood up again and motioned for the commotion to be quiet, and motioned for Agami to continue. said that everyone didn't understand, but in fact, Tianoka himself didn't know much, and this meeting was more like he opened it for himself.
Ah Shen nodded and continued: "Osaka has participated in the national competition in recent years, and they are all two teams, Fengyu High School and Daiei Gakuen, and they both have the strength of the top eight. Speaking of which, Miyagi~ Rukawa Kaede and Hanagata both nodded, both of them had suffered from Fengyu.
"Shimaba Gakuen in Nagasaki and Urayasu Commercial in Chiba are all teams in the quarterfinals this summer. They were eliminated from the competition when they met the Affiliated University of Hakata Business and the Aihe College respectively. Ah Shen paused after speaking, giving the people below enough buffer~ reaction time. In Ah Shen's opinion, it is not surprising that everyone's reaction will be a little bigger, because this grouping is indeed a bit too back.
"Hikoichi, go pour me a glass of water......" Taoka's stomach began to cramp, and he couldn't hold on anymore, so he took out the medicine and threw it into his mouth two tablets.
Not to mention that Lingnan's team members reacted greatly, even the three people of Miyagi ~ Rukawa Kaede ~ Flower Shape Tou were a little moved. I really don't know which brother in the Kanagawa team of Kumichi has such a great temperament.
"So, whether the three regions are combined or not, they all have the strength to be in the top eight in the country. If we want to achieve good results, in addition to breaking through in the division, we must also pay attention to preserving our strength, because the opponents behind us will be stronger. At this point, Ah Shen didn't say any more, and Coach Okitaoka nodded and returned to his seat. I really don't believe in luck, Ah Shen is very glad that the luck of the Hainan team has always been good.
"Ah Shen's analysis is very good, we are indeed assigned to a fierce battle zone. But it will also make our team ~ get into the groove faster, no matter how strong the opponent is, I firmly believe that you are better. Tian Oka endured the stomach pain that had been relieved a lot, stood up and said to everyone very calmly. As a coach and at the helm of the team, Taoka understands that he needs to give his players confidence, even if they don't. "Let's go back and get some rest, and tomorrow we'll start adaptation training." After speaking, he gave Hikoichi Aida a look, and Tian Oka went to the bedroom first.
Sending all the players away, Hikoichi Aida came to Taoka's bedroom. "Coach, don't put too much pressure on yourself, we in Lingnan also have the strength of the national top eight, plus players from other schools, we must have no problem." Looking at the coach who was frowning because of stomach pain, Hikoichi said sensibly.
"Hmmm! Hikoichi, don't pretend to understand if you don't understand in the future, I'm almost misled by you. Looking at the honest child in front of him, Tianoka couldn't lose his temper.
“??????” Yan Yiyi's face was puzzled, and he didn't understand what the coach was referring to, but judging from the coach's tone, he seemed to have done something wrong.
"What are you pretending to be innocent? When you see the matchup, what do you shout? Do you see that? "Tian Gang, who didn't want to lose his temper, couldn't help but have a seizure when he saw Hikoichi's appearance as if he had been wronged.
"I didn't shout good because I found out that the grouping was good......... It's just that Osaka's Fengyu looks down on us Lingnan and the sendo seniors, and I think maybe we have a chance to teach them a lesson. Hikoichi Aida suddenly realized and said his original intention.
"Oh! Yanyi, you have to understand that there are many people who look down on Lingnan, and it is because of this~ that we have to work harder. You'll be in second grade next year, and I have high expectations for you, and you'll have to work harder. Looking at Hikoichi, who seemed to have done something wrong, Taoka encouraged him.
After a night of basically nothing, it was the early morning of the next day, why should you say basic? It's because Miyagi discovered a secret, that is, Rukawa Kaede talks in his dreams at night......... It was found by Miyagi at night, and at first he thought Rukawa Kaede was talking to him, but when he got closer, he found that he was sleeping soundly with drooling.
Miyagi lay in Rukawa Kaede's ear and listened to it for a long time before he deciphered the repeated dream words------ I am the first in Japan.......... Miyagi decided to help Rukawa Kaede keep this little secret, at least until Rukawa Kaede becomes the real first in Japan, Miyagi does not plan to tell this anecdote to others.
Early in the morning, everyone was called up by ~ Hikichi, who was in high spirits, and one by one complained that they had finished washing, and gathered at the door of the hotel one after another. The autumn morning is very cool, and after the fairy road, which has always been used to being late, also comes out, a team of people are tall and tall ~ players in sportswear, jogging towards the stadium.
"Immortal Dao, why are you always late?" While running Miyagi, he asked curiously, why don't you go fishing early in the morning?
"Sorry to keep you waiting!" Sendo smiled and apologized as he ran, looking in good spirits. "My hair is time-consuming."
"It's good that your coach went to the gym first, otherwise you would have been scolded again." Everyone laughed together, and some people didn't forget to make fun of Xiandao.
Because it came ahead of schedule, Kanagawa United was ahead of other teams in terms of adapting to the venue ~ environment. Shigeichi Taoka did not arrange high-intensity training for the players, but only did some warm-up without the ball and basic training with the ball.
In addition to breakfast, Kanagawa United stayed in the gymnasium, doing acclimatization and simple exercises. This is the advantage of coming early, there are no other teams to grab the place ~ to bother. When everyone plans to go back for lunch and come out of the gymnasium, the situation will be different. It was bustling outside, with a lot of people in sportswear, coming and going.
"Hey~ The Kanagawa team came so early, that is the god of the Hainan team." As soon as everyone left the gymnasium, they immediately attracted a large number of attention, and the most discussed was naturally Ah Shen of the runner-up team.
