Chapter 48: Scouting

After the end of the recording of the show, on Sunday night, Suhara's house.

"Tatsuya, come and see, it's a student from your school."

Suhara's mother pointed to the TV in the living room, interrupted the knitting of the sweater, and reminded Suhara, who was cooking like a hateful meal.

"It should be Fujii Tree in our class, and he is always in the limelight."

Suhara replied without raising his head, he was already lying flat, and no matter what happened to Fujii, he would not be stimulated.

"The guest is Messi! It's also a footwork, and high school students definitely can't beat it. ”

Suhara's father put down the newspaper, pushed his glasses, and complained about the contents of the TV screen.

it! Messi!

Qi Yuan suddenly came to his senses, turned his head to look at the TV, and the two of them were kicking red cards with their balls, which was not difficult.

"When you recorded the show, did you get Messi's autograph?"

Quickly took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Fujii on the communication software.

"Yes, he took the initiative to sign me three balls, and there is a group photo."

Fujii's reply was quick, and several photos came, lined up with signed soccer balls with different English greetings on them.

"I wish Hachioji High School the best of luck this year!"

"I wish Fujii-san a healthy and happy life!"

"I wish all the Hachioji Varsity a happy life!"

Someone's eyes are almost red, and the group photo makes him even more jealous to the point of explosion, Messi took the initiative to put his arm on Fujii's shoulder, and the two faced the camera, one smiled from the bottom of his heart, and the other smiled lightly.

"Give me one ball, you will be my little brother in the future, how about it?"

He regretted it when he sent this paragraph, it was a little too shameful, and he just wanted to say it back.

"Divide the two of you, you are my little brother, I heard that he is still coming next year, how about taking you with me then?"

"Big brother! Don't forget me. ”

Qi Yuan sold his soul and was downgraded from the same level by one notch, but he was proud, this is Leo Messi, a world-class star on an equal footing with Ronaldo, and it is worth it when the younger brother can meet in private.

And Fujii Shu, who just received a little brother, doesn't know what kind of surprise a passenger plane taking off from Spain will bring him.

On a Monday afternoon in mid-September, José, a La Masia academy scout from Spain's Barcelona club, took a taxi from the airport to the front of the high school in Hachioji City, Tokyo.

"Is this it? It doesn't look like a place where a talented player like Messi can be born! ”

José put down his duffel bag, put his hands on the pergola, and muttered to himself.

He is a typical handsome Spanish guy, because he knows Japanese, he was sent by the La Masia Academy to the island country for a six-month observation, on the one hand, it is also because he is relatively young, he was assigned to this kind of overseas stationing mission, and it is in the island country where talent is not obvious, not in South America, where there are many stars.

Throwing his duffel bag over the school wall of Hachioji High School, José, who is tall and legged, climbed over the three-meter-high wall and entered the school where classes were still in session, and he found it too troublesome to walk through the main entrance.

"The football field is quite professional, with natural turf and very careful care."

Jose came to the school's football field first, squatted down and touched the turf, which felt good.

He found a shady corner to sit down, and when school ended in the afternoon, when the school team members began to move around the football field, Jose took out his phone and pulled out a photo of Fujii Tree, which was frozen with a screenshot of the video.

On the court, Fujii was still teaching Suhara to practice, and Jose turned on the digital camera he took out of his duffel bag and began to record, writing with a pen and sketchbook.

"The ability to control the ball, in the absence of obvious confrontation, is very prominent, and the 10-point system can score 8.5 points."

"The shooting skills are also good, the angle and power are top-notch, especially the power, 9.5 points."

"The dribbling is excellent, but there is no official competition, and I can't see the level of performance on the field, so I have 8 points for the time being."

"The physical confrontation is very strong, I can't see that his body is so strong, or maybe the opponent is too weak, 9 points for the time being."

"The speed is top-notch, there is not much difference on and off the court, 10 out of 10."

Simply observing the end of the school team's training, Jose listed various data on the first day, and it may be revised in the future, but that will have to wait for Fujii Shu to participate in the game, and his task is not only to observe Fujii Shu alone, on the island country's side, there are also players such as Shibasaki Yue, who are also in the scope of inspection, but the priority is not as high as Fujii.

As the days passed, the calendar on the wall, turned to January 1, 2013, and Fujii Shu, whose ball skills had just broken through to the middle of LV4, stood on the field of the island country's national high school competition.

"In the first round, Hachioji High School in Tokyo Area A played against Ichijo High School in Nara Prefecture."

Due to the lack of points from the previous game, Hachioji High School will not have a bye in the first round like Aomori Yamada, the opponent is a high school in Nara Prefecture, with a formation of 4231, which attaches importance to the integration of offense and defense, and the star player is center Yuya Tanaka, who is tall and has an excellent header, and is the fulcrum and core of the attack.

Fujii Tree's free attribute points during this period of time have accumulated to more than three points, and the football skill has been increased to LV4/46%, and after upgrading to LV4, the speed of improvement has slowed down significantly, and the efficiency of giving free attribute points is also decreasing.

The first round of the tournament was held simultaneously in several gymnasiums in Tokyo, with a venue of 30,000 people, more than 20,000 spectators, and a TV broadcast on the sidelines.

"Vine... Well trees? That's your name, right? Remember Uncle Ben's name, Yuya Tanaka. I'll teach you well, why it's personal ability! ”

During the handshake between the players of the two sides, Yuya Tanaka, a star player from high school, has a round wine trough nose and narrow eyes, full of hostility.

Holding hands tightly, Yuya Tanaka's thick arms suddenly exerted force, and Fujii Shu, who shook hands with him, had a pale face that was Furui Wubo.

Become a publicity player, go on TV and record a show with Messi, don't you have a beautiful face? Why is it that I, who is more outstanding, even the representative of Nara Prefecture, the local TV station, is showing this kid's propaganda advertisements every day? Today, I'm going to blow you up!

Yuya Tanaka let go of his hand and glared at Fujii viciously.

And in the audience, Jose, who had been absent for a long time, looked at Fujii Tree on the field expectantly, the digital camera had been set up, and he had traveled all over the island country for more than two months, and the player who was as highly rated as Fujii Tree was a player he had never seen.

Coach Vilanova's health is getting worse day by day, and if he steps down, he will probably be stopped from his activities in the island country, so, Fujii-san, you have to play well in these games!

Jose is a little worried in his heart, there has been gossip about the pre-selection of the next head coach within the club, once a son of heaven and a courtier, the person who Villanova fancies, the next head coach may probably not be used, then his efforts for more than two months will be in vain.

Let me see how brilliant you are in the competition!

José thought to himself, watching the game with full attention.
