"Are you wondering how to keep your players fit?"

Coach Yasuda on the side saw what was on Coach Fukai's mind and asked.

"Hey! How do you adjust if you rotate players? ”

Embarrassed to touch the back of his head, Coach Fukai asked his mentor.

"In the fourth round, Shogo Fukuda rotated, and in the fifth round, Tatsuya Suhara rotated, and everyone else except Fujii Shu did not move, they could be replaced at will."

Coach Yasuda's reply surprised Fukai, this kind of kicking, will there be too much pressure on Fujii Shu, everyone knows that he is in good health, but he can't be used to death like this.

"Look at Fujii's appearance, do you feel a little tired? An opponent of this level can't consume much of his physical strength, and he hasn't used all his strength yet. ”

The scheming coach Yasuda, at a glance at Fujii Tree who was fishing and training on the field, just to blend in with the crowd, is not very conspicuous.

"Actually, I was hoping that he would lose one game, so that he could get stronger and play professional football, and I always had the contract with me, but..."

Coach Yasuda swept over the young players who were training seriously and said regretfully.

"When I see these young people who are fully committed to football, I feel that I am too complicated, too obsessed with the stakes, and forget my heart."

"It's better to look forward to them and do their best to compete for the championship, and then we will talk about it later."

Coach Yasuda's demeanor was much more relaxed, and his utilitarian heart was not strong, so he let go of his obsession and worked with Fukai, silently paying attention to the teenagers on the field and sweating.

-------------------------------------

In the tense fourth round, Hachioji High School played against Maebashi Ikuei High School.

Maebashi Ikuei High School from Gunma Prefecture has been a strong contender for the national competition, wingers Naoya Koike and Shotaro Moriya scored hat-tricks in the third and second rounds, and the formation 433 is biased towards attack, flying on both wings, and it is difficult for a high school team to defend.

At the beginning of the game, the two wingers Naoya Koike and Rentaro Moriya took advantage of the advantage of serving first and scored a goal, Fujii Tree stopped Naota Koike, but Shotaro Moriya on the other side had no one to restrict, which was one of the few situations where Hachioji High School conceded the ball first.

It's a bit tricky, huh?

Fujii observed the situation on the field, he could lock one side, but the defense on the other side was a defense with little presence for either of the two wingers.

Their winger Shogo Fukuda sat on the bench this round, and the starting winger was the original winger Yoshiyuki Konishi, and the threat dropped by more than one level, and relying on Suhara to attack alone was a big problem.

Captain Nakamura replaced him as the front midfielder, and although his performance was better than that in the back midfield, he could only barely do it, and it was impossible to count on how good he played.

If you go on like this, you have to lose the ball!

Fujii Shu briefly judged the situation, the opponents of the national competition, are all from the local competition to fight a bloody way, can enter the fourth round of the eight-in-four game, the level of Maebashi Ikuei High School needless to say, except for Fukuda Shogo and Suhara, it is not easy for the rest of the people to ensure that there are no mistakes, and it is fantastical and unrealistic to stand up and perform.

Coach Fukai, I'm sorry, your tactics are no longer suitable for the current environment.

He looked at Coach Fukai on the bench, if he stayed in the position of the back midfield, he would lose a few more goals later, since he couldn't prevent it, then attack it.

With such a decision, Fujii left his position for the first time and ran to the midfield to call for his teammates to pass the ball to him.

Fujii-san, are you going to attack with the ball?

Captain Nakamura, who was holding the ball, was stunned for a moment, but still passed the ball over, and Fujii Tree's ball protector had never seen anyone successfully steal at his feet.

"Oh, do you see that? It feels like I discovered it at about the same time. ”

Coach Yasuda, who was sitting on the bench as an advisor to the team, let out an exclamation sound, and Coach Fukai next to him looked confused, not knowing what he was talking about.

"That's right, an opponent of this level, with his ability, should not be limited to a certain position for a long time, at least a free man in the midfield, he is fully competent."

Coach Yasuda's self-talk was like a book for Coach Fukai, and he asked his mentor curiously.

"Fujii Shu kicks like this, won't it mess up our formation?"

"If it is a game like La Liga in the Premier League, it will indeed be like this, but this is an amateur high school competition, even the team of the domestic hegemon Aomori Yamada can't play the U16 youth team of other clubs, and Fujii Shu, he already has the strength of the core players of the middle and upper reaches of the Premier League, and may even be stronger."

Turning his head to look at the deep well, Coach Yasuda glanced at his disciple strangely and said.

"You wouldn't think that an island high school team that can't win the Under-16 Academy of the Premier League club can limit one top Premier League player, right?"

The situation on the field is still changing, Fujii Shu, who took the initiative to attack with the ball, crashed away the opposing central defender who intercepted, faced the fullback who made up for the position, and chose to pass the ball horizontally to Suhara in the middle, and Suhara, who received the ball, tacitly took the ball to impact, and when he came to the penalty area, he suddenly passed the ball back to the feet of Fujii.

I didn't teach you in vain!

Fujii Shu has run out of the empty space, Suhara's ball is not a blind pass, he attracts most of the opponent's defenders, and a short pass to the side before the goal directly penetrates the opponent's defense.

In the vacant position, Fujii had plenty of time to get up, lower his center of gravity, and pump the outside of his instep towards the ball, which was a move he only realized when he rose to LV4, and the outside of Quaresma's right leg was not only extremely fast, but also had an amazing arc, which could easily bypass the goalkeeper's ten fingers.

The football pulled a curved arc in mid-air, and the goalkeeper of Ikuhide Maebashi flew to save, but he brushed the ball by, and before the person landed, the football flew into the goal, and the score was tied.

"Hahaha! Uncle Ben's passing spirituality! Silly, right? ”

Suhara, who obviously only got one assist, was more excited than Fujii Shu, who scored the goal, laughing with his hands on his hips and arrogant tone.

"It's not overtaken yet, don't get carried away."

Fujii Shu stepped forward and knocked a chestnut on Suhara and said calmly.

Maebashi Ikuei's two star wingers were not affected by Fujii's goal, and in the 38th minute of the first half, another exquisite pass was coordinated, bypassing the defender defense of Hachioji High School, Ryunosuke was caught off guard, and the two opposing defenders had good shooting skills, and after pulling away from one left and one right, he didn't know who to defend.

At the end, it was Naoya Koike on the left, a short player with long flowing hair, who received a pass from Shotaro Moriya on the right and scored a goal almost in front of an empty goal, once again leading Hachioji High School by one goal.

"Don't panic, we can pay them back."

Fujii persuaded Suhara, who wanted to retreat to the backcourt to participate in the defense, that at this time, what is needed is to attack.
