Chapter 418 Super Dark Horse, the Ambitions of Ishikawa and Others
"it's over"
In the stands.
Camus of the French team sighed and looked at the black-haired boy on the court with a complicated expression.
"It's incredible!"
"The Japanese team played a pretty scary character this year!"
Forehead!
Camus' emotion brought Barthes and Moreau to their senses. The two nodded heavily, fully agreeing with Camus' statement.
Shin Ishikawa!
This 12-year-old boy must be one of the most outstanding rookie players this year!
"Let's go."
The area where Team USA is located.
Captain Reinhard also gave Ishikawa a deep look and said solemnly: "It's almost time to go back to training."
"Um."
The black Dudu and the handsome Balentin nodded at the same time.
The match just now was intense. Before the game, they all believed that no matter how strong Qp was, it would probably not be able to surpass the average professional level.
but.
In the duel just now, the strength displayed by Qp has reached a level of suffocating power.
But even such a strong player still ended up losing miserably in the competition. What's even more frightening is that his opponent is so young that it's scary.
"correct."
At this time, as if he thought of something, Balentin suddenly said: "If I remember correctly, that person seemed to have gone to Japan, right?"
that person?
Dudu was stunned for a moment, then reacted suddenly. I knew that what the other party was talking about was Echizen Ryuya, whose whereabouts were unknown after leaving U17 in the United States.
Because of this incident, Reinhardt even had a disagreement with the coach. In the end, I made up my mind to make a cut, and only then did I stabilize the unity within the team.
Regarding Long Ya's strength, Du Du knew very well that the other party was not powerful in the ordinary sense.
original.
Everyone was secretly guessing where Long Ya had gone. What kind of situation did he encounter that caused him to lose his trace?
Now that I think about it, it was probably related to the black-haired boy on the court.
"No wonder."
After turning his mind around, Dudu glanced at Reinhardt out of the corner of his eye and thought to himself: "Ralph is so persistent in coming to watch this warm-up match, maybe just to confirm this possibility, right?"
Just don't know.
What did the strongest player on the American team think after watching this game?
"Shin Ishikawa, Shuji Tanejima, Gekko Ochi, Kintaro Toyama"
In the stands.
Wearing a red and white headscarf, with neatly styled dreadlocks, the dark-skinned young man narrowed his eyes.
The lineup sent by the Japanese team to participate in the World Cup warm-up match is indeed luxurious. Under the eyes of everyone in disbelief, the German team defeated the king with three consecutive victories.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the Japanese team must be all elite.
But Amadeus knows that this super dark horse in the World Cup has hidden its strength just like the German team.
Don’t say anything else.
Byodoin and Duke, two very strong singles players, did not play.
"They are also hiding their strength."
Amadeus looked seriously at the team that was the first to leave the stadium after winning the championship, and said solemnly: "I'm sure that their overall strength is definitely not as simple as a super dark horse!"
Think of this.
He turned around quickly, hurried towards the entrance of the passage, and quickly disappeared.
"Eh?"
Not far away, when Kim Tae-woo of the South Korean team was lamenting the strength of the Japanese team, he happened to see his disappearing back. He couldn't help but said in surprise: "That man seems to be the Swiss team's captain, Alexander Amadeus? It's strange, why did he move so fast."
"It's very simple."
Hearing this, Li Chengfu next to him said solemnly: "Because according to the draw results of this World Cup group stage, the Swiss team is placed in Group B with Australia, Greece, and Japan."
"No wonder."
Jin Taiyu nodded.
As early as a month ago, he had experienced the strength of Ishikawa and the Japanese team. But now, that boy and that team have grown to the point where the head coach of the Swiss team, ranked second in the world, feels the pressure.
"It's time for us to go."
Li Chengfu glanced at Qp, then in the direction of Ishikawa, shook his head and said: "If nothing else happens, many people will not be able to sleep after today's warm-up match."
The warm-up match is a matchup between 32 teams. The Japanese team versus the German team is just one of the 16 games today.
The reason why they were able to play on Court No. 1 in this central area was largely due to the reputation of the German team.
but.
No one expected that the team that had won nine consecutive world championships and was moving towards ten consecutive championships with an unprecedented strength would suffer an unprecedented three consecutive defeats here.
"Polk!"
As soon as the German team walked out of the stadium, they saw an old man wearing a light gray suit and a top hat walking towards them quickly with a cane.
Sigmund Pubke.
78 years old.
He is the CEO of the famous Sigmund Pharmaceutical Factory in Germany and the talent discovery director of U17 in Germany.
Sigmund has an impatient personality and is the kind of character who is quick to work and quick to work, and is resolute in his actions. Within the German U17, there is considerable authority.
Generally speaking, when an old man rushes over in such a hurry, it means there is trouble.
really.
Then Sigmund said with a grim expression: "The game just now disappointed our sponsors. If we can't prove them with absolute strength in the group stage, this year's sponsorship may be halved."
Three consecutive defeats are indeed very humiliating for the German team. It is normal for the German team's sponsors to be disappointed.
However.
Many people, including Becker, Bismarck and others, looked deeply at the old man in front of them.
Because they remembered very clearly that Sigmund Pharmaceutical Factory is one of the largest sponsors of German U17.
These words were undoubtedly a knock on Polk.
"It's okay, Mr. Sigmund."
However, before Polk spoke, a sincere voice sounded.
Everyone looked back immediately after hearing the words, and saw a brown-haired man in a light black suit, smiling and walking towards this side.
And behind him, followed two German players, one tall and one short, with extraordinary temperament.
"Head coach!"
Seeing the coming person, the German players nodded in greeting.
Can Retrou.
36 years old.
Head coach of the German U17 team.
Following him were the other two professional players that the German team relied on the most this year. Berti Barisavich-Polke, the younger brother of the main player Polk, and his doubles partner, Dankmar Schneider.
"I saw the game just now."
Retrou smiled and said, "I will find the reason for the team's failure. Please tell other sponsors to let them rest assured."
"That's good."
Sigmund adjusted his hat and showed an elegant smile. Then, under the gaze of everyone, he turned and left.
"This guy"
Looking at the old man's back, many people looked unhappy. The other party was obviously threatening them, but it seemed as if they were in the same camp as them, which was very disgusting.
"Everyone."
At this time, Retlu said: "I believe you all saw the game just now. The so-called champion German team is actually very weak. The world competition is cruel and does not allow for any carelessness. Once we relax our vigilance, those ferocious jackals will pounce on us and bite us to death at the first time!"
"There are still 3 days before the final."
"I don't want any problems in the group stage, especially in the final. Can you do it?"
While speaking.
His eyes were like a sharp blade, cutting into the hearts of Becker, Bismarck and others.
"I know, I know!"
Feeling the strong pressure from the head coach, everyone who lost the game, including Seyfried and Frankensteiner, nodded in agreement.
"That's good."
After Retlu nodded with satisfaction, he said to Polk: "Jurgen, take them back first. Qp, you stay, I have something to say to you."
Then.
The main general Polk led everyone away.
Only Qp, who looked unnatural, and Retulu were left.
"I'm sorry, teacher, I disappoint you."
When no one was around, Qp, with an apologetic face, bowed deeply to Retulu.
"Uh."
Seeing this, Retulu shook his head and said, "If you still have this kind of awareness, I am really disappointed."
"I"
Qp opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when he saw the other party's calm expression, he froze.
"Remember, there are no undefeated players in this world."
Retulu said in a deep voice: "Even the legendary players in the history of tennis, none of them can be undefeated. On the contrary, many people have learned lessons from one tragic defeat after another, and have become stronger and stronger, and finally become legends."
Qp trembled when he heard this.
Retulu spoke again: "From perfection to the ultimate, it is a road destined to be full of thorns. Remember, failure is not a defect, nor is it a shameful thing, but a necessary condition for truly transforming into the ultimate quality!"
"Teacher"
Qp was moved.
He looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, and recalled in his mind how the other party had to stay in the tennis school in order to train him.
Now.
The little man who was not taken seriously at the beginning has long disappeared, and replaced by the head coach of the champion German team, Can Retlu.
The experience of his teacher activated the fighting spirit in Qp's heart. It also made him understand a deeper truth, and his originally shaken self-confidence was being repaired little by little.
"Don't worry."
Finally, Qp nodded seriously and said: "My ultimate quality will definitely not disappoint you!"
"Very good."
Seeing that his disciple had regained his former confidence, Retlu finally smiled: "I believe you."
The master and the apprentice looked at each other.
The tacit understanding between the two has long exceeded the expression of words. Retlu was actually very fortunate that Qp met a strong player like Ishikawa after entering the ultimate quality.
Defeat is not necessarily bad news for Qp.
However.
Retlu did not relax in his heart. He knew very well that the Japanese team was already strong enough to be ignored.
Not surprisingly.
After today's warm-up match, the U17 head coaches of each country will ask their team's advisers or tennis spies to obtain information about the Japanese team as quickly as possible.
In this situation.
The Japanese team, which stole the show just now and defeated the German team, will encounter more unnecessary troubles.
"I'm afraid the situation is not good."
the other side.
After leaving the Melbourne Center Stadium and taking the bus back to the hotel, Saito's face looked a little solemn.
"What's wrong?"
Takashi, who had just won three consecutive victories and defeated the German team, and stole the show, looked at him in surprise: "Is there any problem?"
"Um."
Saito glanced out the window and explained: "Since just now, I have noticed that there are at least four cars following us."
"That's right."
Kurobe next to him also said in a deep voice: "When we left the stadium, there were people from more than ten teams observing us."
"Um, that means we're being targeted?"
Tuozhi reacted and his expression suddenly became serious.
As the saying goes, anything beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.
Having won three consecutive World Cup warm-up matches, they are now being watched by countless pairs of eyes. Every move is under the surveillance of others.
In this situation.
Their players will definitely be observed by the staff of other teams using a magnifying glass. Trying to find flaws in their style and playing style.
This way.
The margin of error left for the Japanese team will be even less than before. Especially Ishikawa and others who appear will definitely be targeted.
Although several people are very strong, their ability to withstand psychological pressure is also very good. However, the effect of being observed under the spotlight is completely different from that of emerging from hiding.
"Looking at it this way, the situation is indeed not good."
The expressions of Mitsuya, Miki and Liu who served as staff officers could not help but become solemn. Others also felt the seriousness of the problem.
Hululu.
But this time.
A series of thunderous snores sounded.
"Forehead."
Everyone looked back, only to see Mifune, who was leaning on the second row, sleeping with his arms folded and his head tilted.
"This grunt. The head coach is really big-hearted."
Shido complained softly.
This was the first time he saw a head coach who slept like a dead pig. Compared with Hyotei's coach Sakaki Taro, Mifune's temperament and charm were even worse.
Snapped!
But the next moment.
What greeted him was a violent shudder from Mifune.
"Kid, speaking ill of people behind their back is not a good behavior."
Mifune opened his mouth and stared at him with a half-smile, which made Shishito's hair stand on end. He nodded and apologized like a chicken pecking at rice.
"By the way, do you need to be so nervous?"
Mifune turned his head and glanced at the three Kurobes, then quickly looked back and locked on three of them.
"Tell me what you think about this matter."
What he was looking at was Ishikawa, Byodoin and Oni, the three strongest players in Japan's U17.
Hear the words.
Byodo-in and Oni had a tacit understanding and did not speak, but looked at the black-haired boy at the same time.
"I think there's no need to be so nervous."
Feeling everyone's eyes and looking towards him, Ishikawa just smiled lightly and said: "As the saying goes, if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight. Receiving so much attention doesn't mean that we have received the same treatment as Big4 ?"
big4? !
I heard what Ishikawa said.
Everyone was shocked, but Kurobe, Saito and Takuzhi had expressions of surprise and uncertainty.
immediately.
They looked at Byodoin and Oni again, only to find that there was absolutely no doubt on their faces. On the contrary, he still had a natural expression.
"Well!"
Sensing the ambition shown by the three of them, Kurobe and the others looked at each other with indescribable shock in their hearts.
Unknowingly.
Their mentality is actually so far behind these teenagers?
