Amateur Old Man, Enjoy Reborn Football Life

Episode 79: The New Battlefield

Three weeks have passed since the opening of the German two-part league.

Our F.S.V. had set a good starting dash with two wins per minute.

"Ugh... the two-part league was about to be a strong enemy..."

While practicing alone in the club's practice area, I look back on my previous three games.

We had a good start, but we never had an easy game.

"Especially when the quality of the individual was in a three-part league, that was out of step..."

Worldwide, the German two-part league is said to be at a high level.

One of its easily understandable exponents was the average annual stick of an athlete.

The three-part league, which fought until last year, averages about 14 million yen for a single player.

Compared to that, the average annual stick in this season's two-part league was 55 million yen, data had been released.

"It's two parts but it's over 50 million yen... lightly over the average annual stick of the top leagues in other countries, a two-part league in Germany. That's really amazing."

It is certain that the average yearly stick was not the strength of the league, but was directly linked to the quality of the players.

This is the time for world-class players to move to Germany's two-part league in search of opportunities to compete on purpose.

"So that's high level..."

As is normal for a two-part league rival team, representatives from different countries and generations alike.

Besides that, good German players were scattered around like jewels.

They are scraping their sneeze every day in a two-part league for further heights.

"But F.S.V. has also gained more power, so if we continue to do well..."

The nascent F.S.V. had fought more than one another so far against a two-part league mighty club.

That's because F.S.V. was also powering up in case of a promotion.

First, a talented local German athlete has joined the club. Also as a foreign frame, players from different generations of representative classes have also moved.

It was in the form of a new force and stimulus added to the F.S.V., which was going well until last year.

"Is this also the effect of a two-part promotion... I knew European football money would be awesome"

The promotion to two parts doubled the sponsorship of F.S.V.

Revenue from show rights has also multiplied several times, and ticket and Guts sales are skyrocketing, he said.

Such increases in club revenues are put on athletes' annual sticks, stadiums, etc. If we keep winning, the club will be strengthened in a good circle.

"Speaking of which, all my teammates were delighted to see the stick of the year up..."

Until last year, the average annual stick of F.S.V. was about 20 million yen. That was an average increase to 60 million yen this season.

With that surge, some teammates were buying in new luxury cars. It was a cool bright red sports car.

Incidentally, the average annual stick of J1 in Japan in this era is 20 million yen.

Compared to that, European football is perhaps the world's leading environment.

"Soccer money... well, it's none of my business!

I was only a fourteen-year-old middle school student, and I came to Germany to study.

So the contract with F.S.V. has also become special.

Simply put, I don't get a yen for junior high. Instead, as a special player, you can go to adult games.

"If I could just focus on football, I'd be great."

The club will cover all the other expenses just for not getting a stick of the year.

Another troublesome visa application and legal issues were also done by club experts.

By the way, when I was in high school about the year-old stick, it seemed like they were transferring me for a late payment.

Well, I don't care about the money around there.

Because I came to Germany for football training. It's hard to get them to play adult games.

"Oops. Well, what are we going to do today?

Voluntary training was also separated.

Team practice is all closed today on Sunday because there was a league game yesterday. I'm not on the practice field.

Also, the U-15 guys at F.S.V., who always play at times like this, were on an expedition to a different city.

That's why it's been a long time since I've practiced on my own (my own) and I've been in such a lonely situation.

"Ah, Coata. I knew you were here, right?

"Ah, Elena. Morning!"

That's when Elena came to the practice area.

She has the materials in her hand, so I guess she's still at work running the club today?

"What are you talking about, Coata? You were called to the clubhouse today, weren't you?

"What? To the clubhouse today? Oh, speaking of which!

After yesterday's game, I forgot the director told me.

Yes... I need to go to the clubhouse because I need to talk about something important.

Danger, danger.

Speaking of which, besides me, there should be a few F.S.V. players together. But what the hell are you talking about?

"I'm coming anyway, Courta."

"Oh, wait, Elena!

I interrupted my voluntary training and headed to an adjacent clubhouse.

I came to the clubhouse meeting room.

We already had about twenty players together.

Good morning, Mr. Coata.

"Good morning, Mr. Lillian"

Some of them were Mr. Julian. I also have a few other teammates from one army.

Other than that, there are many players in both armies. He is one of those who fought with them for the first few months. I say hello to all of them.

"Okay, where we're all set, here we go."

The officers of F.S.V. will be moderators and the meeting will begin.

Video is shown on the front screen.

"All gathered here will be challenged to fight the new league" UCL Young League ”as a new team!

Officers will provide explanations in video.

"UCL Young League! Oh, finally... '

'Oh. That's your chance to show off...'

"For us to crawl up too..."

My teammates bother with that explanation.

They are a young category in the club, with many players who are somewhat modest. Those eyes were burning and giraffed by ambition.

"What, the UCL Young League?

I tilt my neck at what I first heard.

But my other teammates reacted, and I may have been briefed before.

Raise your hand now, it's not an atmosphere where you can ask the officers.

"Um... Dear Elena...?

My classmate Elena is the one I can count on at a time like this.

I visit the special advisor sitting next to me, whispering.

"What was the UCL Young League... what was it?

"Hey, Coata...... you, I knew I forgot again ⁉"

"haha...... sorry"

"You have no choice..."

Elena sighs, then explains it in a whisper.

According to this, the "UCL Young League” is a European championship tournament of football by a club team.

Of the leagues in every European country, only teams of young people under the age of eighteen can participate in league games.

The period starts next month in September and ends next May in nine months. He said he would play the league regularly and decide on the winning team.

"Oh well! You were talking about that time."

I remembered when I heard Elena explain.

Speaking of which, at the end of May three months ago, I think I heard that from the officers.

However, F.S.V. said he was eligible to participate this season because he won Germany's three-part league.

So form a participating team out of one and two armies of F.S.V., athletes of the right age.

That participating team… Prepare to join the F.S.V. Young team because I have plans to come in.

But that's what they said.

I totally forgot because I've been a bummer ever since.

"Looks like you remembered if that's how it went, Coata?

"haha...... thanks Elena"

Thanks to Elena, I thought of it all.

I see. F.S.V. Young team... I'm looking forward to this.

Look around the meeting room again.

Among the F.S.V. 's here are just young players under the age of eighteen.

Almost everyone plays with me and I just know a face that I've practiced with.

F.S.V. Young is going to be a fresh team with talent and a future to carry the club.

"The UCL Young League takes place in parallel with the German domestic league. It's going to be a pretty hard schedule for the next year, so make sure you're prepared yourself!

Officers explain the schedule for the future.

Hmm, I see.

The country's two-part leagues have basically been held near weekends on Friday and Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

The two-part league has 34 games a year, so it's a pace of one game a week.

In addition to that, the UCL Young League is said to be held at a rate of about two games a month.

In order to play more games in the Home & Away method across Europe, the journey time will be several times higher than ever.

Indeed, the hanging between the domestic and young leagues seemed rather difficult.

(But it's really amazing to be able to fight clubs all over Europe...)

Listening to the schedule, I was excited.

Until now, I've only competed with clubs in Germany.

But starting next month, we can fight people from all countries.

If I were to come to Germany for football training, I wouldn't have any more experience.

I can't help but really look forward to the opening of the Young League.

"That's it for the meeting. Anyone who cares stays and interviews personally '

Meetings by officers shall end.

But everyone on the young team is still bothering.

They are also excited about the UCL Young League starting next month. Yes, I'm desperate to get up there.

"Mr. Coata, was the explanation okay?

"Ah, Mr. Julian. Yes, I'm probably fine."

After the meeting, Mr. Julian spoke to me. He was worried about me.

"It's tough, especially since we're in the UCL Young League in addition to one army game. Let's be careful."

"That's true indeed"

The only regular players on the Young team in one army are me and Mr. Julian so far. Others are players of one army and two.

I'm also the youngest fourteen, so he worried about Stamina.

"I think it's probably okay. I'm looking forward to next month's UCL Young League!

The main focus of my job now is a league match in Germany.

But I was excited about the new Young League. My heart was dancing to an unknown and powerful enemy near my age.

"Young league...... ok, good luck!

This is how I decided to try a new league game.

We're going to fight clubs all over Europe.
