To my friends④

In other words, Mitsuki Umihara is not a member of the football team, and never has been.

For the world's No. 1 sport, Mitsuki Umihara, like most boys, is no stranger to it. At a deeper level, it's okay to say that you're interested. At least in international competitions such as the World Cup, he does not pay less attention than other boys.

But when it comes to actual participation, that's a different story. As far as Mitsuki Umihara himself is concerned, there is no intention of wanting to put too much energy into this.

However, just because you don't actually participate doesn't mean you're not good at it.

It sounds contradictory, but it's actually not strange. Because football is a sport, there is too much emphasis on basic skills. In other words, it is the coordination and domination of the body. And this aspect happens to be what he is good at.

Not through practice, or rather, on the contrary, every day.

Just like his sister, he is also doing one thing, which is to use his abilities all the time in his daily life. It's not about what to do with ability, it's about grasping every detail of the body's daily activities through ability. Mental dynamics, which can be detected even by the slightest change in the computer screen, can be easily applied in this regard.

It's not a meaningful act, but when you reach a certain level of knowledge about physical activity, your body will naturally remember how to coordinate. (Note: Some rehabilitation devices are based on the same principle)

In football, it's technology.

Then the rest is a matter of vision and the big picture. It just so happens that this is what Mitsuki Haihara is best at.

Even the coach of the varsity soccer team admits that at least there is no one more suitable for the role of the organization's core than Mitsuki Kaihara. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't plan to join the football team.

So sometimes, the football team will ask him to participate in team training as a guest player. Generally speaking, it is used as a classical forward midfielder, using organization to guide the bench players to run, and also allowing the starters to practice defense.

But today, even the captain of the football team, who was in the midfield position to defend him, felt that something was wrong.

If there is anything wrong, it is still mentioned earlier, Mitsuki Umihara was invited to help the school football team train as the student president, and it is his main job to control the rhythm of the substitute side and lead the players with passes. So his usual position is a classical midfielder.

But today, Mitsuki Umihara's aggression is beyond imagination, and it seems that he intends to kick himself into the so-called nine and a half.

Of course, in the history of the development of football midfield tactics, after the era of the brutalist defensive midfield, there have been two noticeable changes in the central axis of the midfield. One is the organizational midfielder who moves the organizational position backward to avoid the defensive midfield, and the other is the "nine and a half" that avoids the long-term ball-holding organization and appears more in the role of "trigger". So today, even the most traditional Greco-Roman midfielders have to adapt to changing roles to make it more difficult for opponents to defend. But even so, Mitsuki Haihara's performance is not normal.

The problem was on the scoreboard, which was 3-3 in practice, with two of the three goals scored by Mitsuki Umihara himself, and the remaining one coming from a teammate after his shot.

Especially in the third goal just now, after receiving the pass with his back, Mitsuki Kaihara forcibly relied on the central defender who was close to the defense like the most traditional strong center forward, pulled the ball and turned around and volleyed directly into the dead corner, and the entire defense line on the main side was stunned.

While everyone knew that their student president was an athlete in the martial arts field, he relied on brute force to solve problems so hard-hitting in a way that no one expected.

It was after this ball that the captain of the football team began to personally mark Mitsuki Kaihara. Scoring in this way is too much of a psychological blow to the defender and he has to step up and stabilize the mood at the back.

It's just that it has evolved into this, and the original training arrangement has undoubtedly been completely disrupted. Since it is impossible for Mitsuki Umihara to join the football team, what is the point of this kind of training that has become his personal performance? According to the original coach's idea, the training should be interrupted immediately and replaced by Mitsuki Kaihara, but he made a gesture to the coach and temporarily let Haiyuan stay on the field.

The reason is simple. On the football field, pure personal ability to change the tide of the game is already an unattainable thing. For him, such an opportunity is rare.

There's nothing more exciting than the opportunity to defend a player who is in great form head-on – except for the girls who have been screaming there since Umihara scored the second goal.

At this time, Haiyuan was not yet in possession of the ball, and he maintained a distance of one step up and followed firmly. It's neither too close, it's not too far away. As long as Kaihara receives the ball, whether he intends to pass the ball or stop the ball to control, he will have enough time.

He was waiting for the opportunity for Mitsuki Kaihara to receive the pass, and with Haihara's skills, it was easy to stop the ball and dribble the ball. But at that moment, it was inevitable to step back. In football's man-to-man defence, that's arguably the best chance.

Of course, as a good defensive defender and captain of the team, he will never indulge in head-to-head battles. He doesn't care about defending with his teammates at all, even if he can't take advantage of Haiwon's stop to break the ball, as long as he can delay him a little, it is enough for his teammates to form a co-defense.

At the top of the penalty area, he kept an eye on the players on the left flank. He knows everyone in his team's bench lineup, except for Haiyuan, the difference between the three players in the midfield of the entire bench is roughly equivalent to a stewed potato, a stewed cabbage, and a potato stewed cabbage. By the way, according to this analogy, the main front waist is roughly equivalent to stewed tomatoes......

This is really something that makes him feel extremely unhappy, why is Haiyuan reluctant to come to the football team?

Sure enough, the substitute's right midfielder was squeezed close to the touchline and in desperation, he sent a rather awkward low ball to the top of the penalty area.

The position is approximately at the side of the body, the height of the knees. Anyone who has lifted the ball knows that it is an awkward ball to stop. When he judged this, he immediately stepped up to the top defense to make it more difficult for Haiyuan to catch the ball.

But the moment he catches the ball, Uehara makes an unconventional move. He used the outside of his left foot to lightly pat the bottom of the ball, and the ball pulled an upward arc and flew over the heads of the two men.

Taken aback, he quickly turned around, such a close distance would inevitably be able to get rid of it first once it was activated, and no one knew this better than him. However, as soon as he took a step, he noticed something unusual.

Mitsuki Haihara did not start. Instead, he took only half a step forward, spreading his arms back and forth as if he were flying.

Suddenly, a thought came to the captain's heart uncontrollably.

(Impossible!) Is he going to ...... )

Mitsuki Haihara's slightly leaning forward body was firmly nailed to the lawn with his supporting legs, swinging his legs backwards with force, and then slammed the soccer ball hard.

After picking the ball with an unexpected technical move, Mitsuki Haihara's choice was actually an unreasonable volley from the top of the arc of the big penalty area! The captain, who had already taken a step back, just gave up a position because of this, and before everyone had time to react, the football went through the shortest straight line in the air and pulled a straight rubber curve in the net.

On the court, even the usual screams of the girls seemed to be inaudible. Everyone was stunned by the goal, everyone panicked at the whole goal.

It's definitely not the best option. But the question is, the ball actually went in?

Speechless. Indeed, at the moment when Umihara shot the goal, a slight gap was revealed. But who can guarantee that there won't be even a little space in defence? At this point, it really can't be said that there is anything wrong with the defense. The problem is just that it was this one goal.

Even if you kick the same shot ten times again, you won't necessarily be able to hit the target range, but this is the one. The captain shrugged helplessly at the main defenders, which was a complete expression of helplessness.

"Don't do that, President." He stretched out his hands to Mitsuki Kaihara, "This is not Meacha. ”

Hearing him joking like this, Mitsuki Haihara exhaled silently.

He was quite restless for the past two days, and even he noticed it. If you want to say the reason, I'm afraid it can only be the disappearance of his senior sister Ji Yanbi. In the past few days, he has spent a lot of time and energy on this subject, but he has not gained anything at all. To say irritability, it is also a matter of course.

Intellectually, he was also very clear. With the ability of the senior sister, if she hadn't taken the initiative to show up, there would be almost no chance of finding her. It's just that......

The coach on the sidelines gave instructions for substitutions, and Mitsuki Umihara had already realized that his emotional state today might have a negative impact on the tactical training of the football team, so he patted the captain of the football team apologetically.

"It's not Meacha, it's San Siro."

A little joke, he walked off the field to the cheers of the girls on the sidelines, leaving only the captain to touch his nose on the field. Take the sports drink handed over to you by the players on the bench and rehydrate yourself.

The previous performance can be said to have earned enough eyeballs, but the physical consumption is not as great as he thought, which makes him quite satisfied with his evaluation. However, his state today can be said to be miraculous even in his own opinion.

It's very, very wonderful, it's indescribable. It was after scoring the first goal that he felt like he was in a mysterious state. His mind has never been clear, and he has always been in a state of irritability. But this kind of irritability seems to be detached from the body, and it is purely something floating on a kind of empty "sea". What controls his body seems to have become something that does not belong to the mind. It is as if an unconscious body like a kind of telepathy dominates the body, and he can naturally know and respond to the thoughts, thoughts, and actions of everyone on the field. Although it seems to be quite unreasonable, it seems to know the results of every action and every action.

This is not a pre-reading prediction, nor is it a perception of an omen. What to say...... It is like a vision of reasoning reaching the extreme, an unconscious calculation that is infinitely close to foreknowledge. This unconscious thing manipulates the body and completes every movement.

Thinking of this, Mitsuki Kaihara reached out and pressed the triangular pillar placed on the inside of his clothes.

Yes, it's like saving the people who saved the salt and was connected to something indescribably huge that night......

Thinking of Yan Bi again, his brow tightened. If you want to say why-

Although he doesn't think he's smart, he doesn't think he's stupid. Actually, he was somewhat aware. He certainly didn't have any strange intuition, just a very simple reason. For a reason that is inevitable after having experienced so much recently.

"Everything is tiresome and cannot be said. I can't see enough; Ears listen, not enough hearing. What is there, there will be again; What has been done, it will be done again. Under the sun, there is nothing new. (Note: Excerpt from Ecclesiastes verse 1)

As if singing something, the familiar voice sang leisurely to what was in his heart.

Turning his head, a woman was there smiling at him.

The summer season is inevitably hot and irritating, especially on the football pitch as a place to sweat off. But in Haihara's eyes, even the sun seems to be less dazzling.

It was as if night had crept in, taking over the sky from the sun's hand and gently enveloping the earth.

"Mom? How did you get here? ”

The woman looked at her son with indescribable tenderness and love in her eyes. She cocked up her fingers and shook her head slightly.

"It's not just me."

Getting out of the way, the woman shows the girl hiding behind her in front of her son's eyes.
