"If Tokyo FC wins the championship, they will participate in the AFC Champions League in the new season, which will be their first time participating in Asian competitions, and Kenji Akune, the president of the Tokyo FC team, wants to make a difference in the Asian arena, but he thinks that the ability of Okuma Kiyoshi is mediocre and not enough to cope with the AFC Champions League, and he plans to change to a more capable European coach once he wins the championship. This is the case, if they win the championship, Tokyo FC will change the head coach, and if they don't win the championship, it is possible that Kiyoshi Okuma will continue to coach. ”

Listening to Krot's words, Ringer felt very peculiar, the head coach who won the championship will leave, and if he does not win the championship, he can continue to coach, what is the matter. "Lao Pan" is also wronged enough, all the way through the elimination of Osaka Sakura, Urawa Red Diamonds and other heroes, luck is also very good, the opponent in the final is a weak team, seeing that the championship is in sight, but it falls like this. At the same time, Ringer also lamented Krott's relationship in the J-League, this kind of thing must not have been publicized, otherwise it will greatly affect the team's morale, but Kroe has already gotten the news in advance.

"The parent company behind Tokyo FC is not the kind of big company with deep pockets, they don't have a lot of money to make a big splash, and the depth of the squad may not be able to cope with the multi-front battle, once they win the championship, they will face multi-front battle in the new season, so you should have a lot of opportunities when you go there."

"We'll have to wait until they win the championship."

"Lin, then you would rather go to Tokyo FC?"

"Well, if they win the Emperor's Cup final, then go to Tokyo FC." Ringer mainly thinks that Tokyo FC can participate in the AFC Champions League, and he will definitely meet the Chinese Super League team at that time, and he can also go back to China for a walk.

"In the upcoming transfer period, FC Tokyo will definitely make a change in the squad, but they have a limited investment every season, and I am afraid that the financial situation will be stretched, and it doesn't cost them a transfer fee to sign you, but you still need to have a routine trial, and you just need to show a certain amount of ability."

"When are you going to tryout?"

"Around the beginning of January, their new manager should have been confirmed and a trial could be arranged."

Noriko Kimura is very happy today, he finally asked the male god in her mind to have coffee together.

Sitting in the coffee shop, looking at the other party's happy appearance, Ringer was also a little proud. Anyone will be happy to be liked by the opposite sex, otherwise "he (she) likes me" will not become one of the three major illusions in life.

Except for, though.

"Lin Jun, you've been absent from a lot of classes recently, are you busy with something?"

"Uh, Noriko, I recently studied soccer at another school."

"Learning football? Lin Jun, you've already played football very well. ”

"Uh, I'm going to be a professional soccer player?"

"Oh~~~"

Noriko covered her mouth with her hand and looked surprised, and Ringer didn't know if it was right to say this to the other party, but he really couldn't find anything else to say. Ringer knew that whenever it was a varsity game, she would bring the girls in her dorm to support, so she should come and have a cup of coffee to repay the favor.

"Come on, Lin Jun! I'm sure you'll be able to do it. Noriko clenched his right hand into a fist to show support, and Ringer was even more speechless, is this a trend that is going to develop into a brainless fan?

"Lin Jun, can you tell us about the football school? I was curious that the last time I played football was when I was in elementary school. ”

"Actually, there are a bunch of six or seven-year-old children~~~"

"Wow, that must be cute!"

Well, the story begins in this amazement and ends with a puppet doll.

"Lin Jun, a birthday gift for you, although there are still two days before your birthday, but you have always been absent from class recently, I am worried that you will be absent again that day, so I will give it to you in advance, happy birthday!"

"Thanks, I love it." Although it was not the first time he had received a girl's birthday gift, Ringer was still very happy, and he was a little touched in his heart.

On December 24, Ringer's 21st birthday, he was absent from class. From the 25th to mid-January, it was the winter vacation of Japanese universities, and on the 24th, Ringer naturally did not go to school, he and the fat man went out to play together.

On his birthday, Ringer can be regarded as relaxing himself, and if he becomes a professional player in the future, he will have to be strict with himself.

On January 1, 2012, when the fat man was still babbling about whether 2012 would be the end of the world, Ringer turned on the TV, sports channels, the Japanese Emperor's Cup final, Tokyo FC against Kyoto Immortals.

Seeing that Tokyo FC reached the Emperor's Cup final, the fat man's first sentence was: "Ouch, Lao Pan did a good job, bringing Tokyo to the Emperor's Cup final." ”

The result of the game was as Krot said, and the obviously stronger Tokyo FC won the championship, with a score of 4:2, and the process was thrilling.

On the second day of winning the championship, Tokyo FC reported that Daxiong Qing will "transfer" to the general manager of the team, and the club is looking for a new coach.

On January 3, FC Tokyo confirmed the new coach as Serbian Ranko Bobovic. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this must have been an agreement for a long time, and now it is just announcing the results.

Ringer is a suburb of Tokyo, about 20 kilometers from the center of Tokyo, where the home stadium and headquarters of Tokyo FC and Tokyo Greenery are located.

Tokyo Stadium, the home stadium of Tokyo FC and Tokyo Green, is one of the best stadiums in the suburbs of Tokyo and a training venue for the Saudi Arabian national team at the 02 World Cup.

Ringer met Tokyo FC's new head coach Ranko Bobovic, an emaciated Eastern European with a Mediterranean hairstyle.

Bobovic's coaching career resume is not outstanding, he coached in the Eastern European league in his early years, and then came to Japan to travel to several teams, and he has not led a European team in Europe, nor has he led a team in Asia to play in an Asian competition, I don't know what Tokyo FC values about him. Is it because the other party is a European coach?

Ringer complained a little in his heart, feeling that Lao Pan was replaced a little wronged, but it was only in his heart, this guy is likely to be his head coach for a period of time in the future, and he dare not offend.

"What position do you play on the field?"

This was the first meeting between Bobovich and Ringer, and many years later, Bobovich wrote in his autobiography: "He was wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses in the style of a student, his hair was neatly trimmed, his whole body was sunny and clean, and he seemed to blush when he spoke." To be honest, I didn't have much hope for that kid at the time, and I felt like he should go back to school instead of playing professional football. ”

Ringer didn't know that he had been wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses everywhere he had been going recently, which had become the content of Bobovich's autobiography since then. Ringer wears such a pair of glasses because he has been turning on the boost function for a long time, and the words "+0.1% potential value" will appear from time to time when he walks on the road, which makes him a little unhappy. But then he discovered that wearing a pair of glasses with no prescription blue light blocking could make the words that appeared from time to time less eye-catching, so he had what he is now.

"Coach Bobovic, I'm a striker, but I can play in midfield." Ringer has now blatantly said that he is a striker, and on his terms, it would be a waste not to play as a striker.

Maybe Krot arranged it in advance, and the content of the trial was quite simple. A simple medical check-up, strength and speed test, followed by passing and receiving with the assistant coach, then dribbling around the pole, running and shooting, playing with the youth team players in small areas, and finally a fitness test.

"Good speed."

"It's characterful with the ball, it's easy to think of Kaka." That's what Bobovich said to his assistant coach during the Ringer trial.

In the small-area game, Ringer used what he had learned in football school - attacking gaps - and although he didn't have the out-of-sight function turned on, his natural grasp of gaps, combined with his speed, was enough to make him stand out.

After the tryout, the agent went to talk to the club, and Ringer stayed, and there were acquaintances in the youth team that had just cooperated with him on the tryout.

"Muto-kun, I didn't expect to meet again so soon." This acquaintance is naturally Yoshiki Muto, who is himself a player of the Tokyo FC youth team.

"Hello, Lin Jun, I didn't expect you to choose to become a professional footballer." Yoshiki Muto is also very puzzled, the top students of the opponent's Tokyo University will come to play professional football, but the other party is really improving quickly, a few months ago in that game he just felt that the opponent's performance was not bad, but he didn't put it in his eyes, but just after the trial, Muto Yoshiki has felt that the opponent's strength has been greatly improved, especially in the speed and selection of the ball route, he can always easily get rid of the defensive defenders.

"Isn't Muto-kun supposed to be competing in the University National Championships?" The two just chatted without a word.

"Our school has already been eliminated in the quarterfinals."

"I'm sorry, I've been busy lately and haven't paid attention to this, I'm really sorry."

"It's okay."
