Chapter 68: The Champion
"Let's wait and see, Fujii Tree's performance."
Antaro Matsuki, who was in the live broadcast room of the TV station, muttered as Fujii put down the football.
On the screen, Fujii kicked the football, and the ball began to pull out a curved arc towards the goal, which was within the goalkeeper's expectations, but the height kept rising, and the goalkeeper of Aomori Yamada followed the ball sideways, but the speed was more than a little slower, until the ball crossed the first post of the goal, began to slide rapidly, hit the inside of the second post, and bounced into the net.
"3 to 2! Fujii Tree once again saved Hachioji High School, and with half a minute left in the game, Aomori Yamada was doomed to be the loser. β
Yasutaro Matsuki shouted, picked up the microphone and began to output.
"Zero-angle corner kick is also rare in professional competitions, the 91st Island Country High School National Competition, Hachioji High School, dominates the national !!"
Aomori Yamada's players wanted to use the remaining half minute to play a quick attack, a long pass to the hang, but Suhara played a role, cutting the ball off in midfield and kicking it out of bounds.
"Shh
With the last whistle, the referee ended the game, which is actually what the organizers are willing to see, Fujii Tree's gorgeous and practical style of play coupled with good looks, really pulled a lot of traffic for this tournament, although there is no bias in the game, but in the case of being able to blow the whistle, it is still necessary to blow.
Lost, completely lost!
Shibasaki lay on his back on the turf, his chest heaving and contracting, replenishing oxygen.
This time he lost convincingly, it turned out that there are really island players in the world who have all kinds of looks and abilities, and he can be regarded as a first-hand experience.
Fortunately, this kind of genius should go directly to the European giants for trial, right?
Turning his face sideways, Shibasaki noticed that on the bench of the Hachioji High School team, there was a familiar person sitting upright.
Coach Yasuda? By the way, during the pre-game analysis, Coach Yasuda, who said that Kashima Antlers, was an advisor to the Hachioji High School team, and the head coach of their team, Masaki Fukai, had also played for Kashima Antlers for more than ten years.
Fujii is a disciple of Coach Fukai, and Coach Fukai is a protΓ©gΓ© of Coach Yasuda, so if you calculate it this way, it is very likely that Fujii will join Kashima Antlers?!
My position is a commanding midfielder, and I don't conflict with him, as long as I pass the ball well, the assist statistics are not heavenly!
Thinking of this, Shibasaki Yue was both excited and sad, and his facial expressions were about to distort.
The winner's podium was dragged into the field by a tractor, and the big man who presented the award was Kozo Tajima, vice president of the Island Football Association.
"Fujii-san, our association has been observing you for a while, do you want to play in any club in China? The U20 echelon of the national youth also needs talents like you. β
Kozo Tajima took advantage of the moment when the staff arranged the podium to find Fujii Shu to ask, if Fujii Shu chooses to stay abroad, they still have some connections in Europe, and the Bundesliga can also arrange a few trials, and it will not take a cut from it, you must know Fujii's current potential, but the king level, the additional output value brought by the island football association is much stronger than the short-sighted transfer commission.
"Mr. Tajima, in the last round of semi-finals, when we played against Hannan Dagao, someone abolished our captain Shikei Nakamura, and I didn't dare to play in such a football environment."
I didn't expect the opportunity to return to Hannan Dataka to appear so soon, Fujii Shu deliberately frowned and complained to Kozo Tajima, who was half a head shorter than him.
"Is that so? I see, let's see in a few days, let's give the award first. β
Kozo Tajima, who is kind and kind, is quiet, after all, he is the vice chairman of the Island Football Association above 10,000 people, the podium has been arranged, and all the members of the team were put on the gold medal by him one by one, and before leaving, he gently patted Coach Fukai's shoulder, nodded and went down, and the rest of the time will belong to the champion.
"Bastard! Check it out, who is the coach of Hannan Daitaka? How many players have been fouled and hurting? Check it all and find out the evidence, you must punish it severely, and you must see the newspaper, understand! β
Kozo Tajima, who left, angrily gave a death order to the assistant next to him, listening to his tone, even if there is no evidence, there can be evidence, although their Football Association is not like the big country next door, but the energy is not to be underestimated, I really think that the Football Association is a non-governmental organization, there is no background, right?
On the podium in the field, Fujii Tree was the first to hold the championship trophy made of more than ten catties of precious metals, and fireworks burst into the sky over the court.
You have to burn tens of millions of yen just to spend money on cigarettes, right?
Fujii Shu, who put down the trophy and handed it to the team, suddenly thought of this, even if he won the championship in the high school competition, he didn't have a penny, and he was very willing to use it to set off fireworks.
"Aligado (thank you)!"
Suhara's thanks sounded beside him, this tall boy who was hostile to himself a year ago, with a smile on his face, before Fujii Shu's arrival, he couldn't even dream of today's results, 4,000 high schools across the country, from the local competitions, there is only one winner, can stand here, enjoy the glory of the championship.
"Well, Aligado."
Fujii Shu replied, and Suhara suddenly showed a wicked smile, only to realize that his teammates behind him had grabbed his body, lifted him up and threw him high, fell to catch him, and got up again.
On January 12, 2013, at 9 p.m., the Hachioji High School team won the championship of the 91st Island Country High School National Competition.
-------------------------------------
The carnival after winning the championship did not last for a few days, and the students still had to continue their studies, and within a few days, Yuto Suzuki, the coach of Hannan Daigao, was suspended for life for instigating the players to maliciously foul and hurt people many times, and the coaching qualification certificate was revoked for life, and the players Hunter and Matsuki Jiusheng were banned for three months and were terminated by the club.
Jose and Shogo Fukuda failed to solicit, and Coach Yasuda left without saying anything.
He didn't participate in the star team of high school students formed after the game, and he went to Kozo Tajima, and Coach Fukai went to be an assistant coach of Coach Yasuda.
Until the last few days of March, when spring break was approaching, when Suhara was going home from school, he passed by the river embankment and suggested that he take a break.
"Okay."
Fujii saw that he had something on his mind during this time and agreed to come down.
After parking the bicycle and descending to the edge of the riverbank, Fujii bent down to pick up a handful of stones and floated in the water.
"Actually, I know why you're so determined to change projects."
Suhara suddenly spoke, causing the Fujii tree to drift only half the width of the river.
Your surname is Suhara, not Edogawa, did you guess that I have a golden finger?
Looking back, I saw Suhara lying on the sloping embankment, with a slender grass stalk in the corner of his mouth, looking up at the sky.
"Because, you are a genius, a genius who can achieve unimaginable results in any project."
Tasting the dry and sour taste of the grass stems, Suhara continued, completely unaware of Fujii's relief.
"I'm different, I love football, I have a little talent, the people at FC Tokyo have signed a contract with me, and tomorrow I'll be a professional."
Hearing his words, Fujii lowered his head, and the atmosphere was a little silent.
"Fujii-san, this is the last time I call you like this, please don't care about the eyes of others, live for your life to be more exciting, mediocre people will not understand how good you are."
"Next year's new project, please let me be in the club, I can also hear your re-established prestige, I can also see your winning posture on TV, and I can also witness how a legend like yours rises."
At the end of the words, Suhara covered his eyes and heard an affirmative reply.
"Well, I'll do it."
After Fujii Shu answered, he looked up at the sky, the sunset was just right, and the sky was full of burning clouds, but the wind was a little noisy.
"That, by the way, how long did it take you to come up with this line?"
"Don't look down on people, Uncle Ben is talented, of course he is made up."
"Really? I don't believe it. β
"I knew you'd pick on you, annoying guy."
"Haha, let's see who rides to the intersection first."
β¦β¦
Tatsuya Sushihara also chose football at the crossroads of his life at the age of seventeen, and Fujii, his future, has just begun.
