Nioh-kun who can do anything

After defeating France, the Japanese team ushered in the second match against the German team.

Before deciding the order of appearance, high school students and junior high school student associations hold separate meetings to gather the opinions of the team members.

And this pre-match meeting was very lively.

"Those who want to play raise their hands." Nioh sat on the head of the round table in the conference room, resting his chin, "Maybe we will be lucky enough to meet Tezuka."

"It's too much like taking the initiative to answer questions in class." Kirihara complained while raising his hand high, "But if it's Tezuka... I want to play!"

"Why are you joining in the fun?" Marui looked at Kirihara next to Kirihara, a little puzzled, "You and Tezuka shouldn't have any past stories, right?"

He looked at Sanada as if teasing while talking.

Sanada didn't wear a hat, so he couldn't press the brim of his hat, so he crossed his arms and snorted softly: "I've already defeated Tezuka! Of course, if I have the chance to fight Tezuka again..."

His words were not finished.

Yukimura reached out and made a downward gesture.He smiled softly and reminded Sanada: "You played yesterday, this time the players who haven't played will be given priority."

In fact, there is no such rule as the group stage in the knockout stage, and it is not mandatory for players to play only once.But considering the purpose of the World Cup, most national team members will not keep playing the same players.

The U17 World Cup is not a very serious world-level competition, not even a professional-level competition.It's more like a show stage.The coaches of each national team understand that different players should be given opportunities to play, so that they can feel the game atmosphere between non-professional and professional, and also allow different professional clubs to better evaluate the strength of young players for signing invitations and invitations to tryouts.

Of course, the factor of strength also needs to be considered, so when the knockout round begins, everyone defaults to recalculating the chance of playing.

What Yukimura means is that the players who played against the French team will not play again by default this time.

Others in the meeting had no opinion, or they subconsciously thought it should be so.

Sanada, who strictly followed the rules, frowned.

He also believed that the same person should not be played more than once, so he fell silent.

Sanada was silent, but Atobe was not.Atobe's last appearance was in the group stage.

He didn't raise his hand, but said directly: "I'm one of them."

"Raise your hand." King Ren looked at him sideways, "If you don't follow the rules, you will be out automatically."

"Is this a rule decided after a democratic vote?" Atobe raised his eyebrows.

"This is my rule." Nioh paused, pointed to himself, and repeated, "I, No.1."

"It's quite strange." Atobe looked Nioh up and down, "Although the team leader is not exactly the same as No.1, but for the sake of No.1..."

He raised his hand and shook it, counting it as a raise.

This kind of dialogue can be regarded as the "interpretation" of Nioh and Atobe, although Nioh just used "No.1" as a reason to tease Atobe on a whim, and Atobe took advantage of the trend.

They are all accustomed to using strength to define the right to speak.

After Atobe raised his hand, Yukimura also raised his hand.

Niwang was a little puzzled: "Minister, why are you?"

"Somewhat curious." Yukimura said, "Tezuka-kun has improved a lot in the warm-up match, at least surpassing him in the sixth grade of elementary school."

Before that, Yukimura had no interest in Tezuka: because at that time Tezuka was not even as good as the sixth grade of elementary school, and after the Jr competition, he cut Sanada to a 6-0 Tezuka.Yukimura also had a match with Tezuka at that time, but it didn't finish.

During the three years of junior high school, Yukimura thought that his strength was constantly improving. Even after being ill for a few months, his strength would step into a new level as if he had been reborn from the ashes.As a result, he naturally has no interest in Tezuka who is standing still or even retreating.

But Tezuka, who joined the German team, seems to have released all the accumulation of the past three years after a period of professional professional training.

Tezuka like this...it's time to finish their unfinished game, Yukimura thought.

There are many people who want to compete against Tezuka.Kirihara made a demonstration, and Sanada, Atobe, and Yukimura followed up further, and the rest of the people who wanted to compete with Tezuka naturally raised their hands one after another.

For example, Fuji, such as Echizen.

But Nioh did not write Echizen's name on the whiteboard used for the meeting.

"You just played yesterday." Nioh said, "Neither you nor Sanada can do it."

"MADAMADADANE!" Echizen put on his hat.He looked up at the whiteboard: "If you played once, can you not play again?"

"Actually, there is no such rule, but if you play two games in a row, don't you plan to play in the final?" Nioh said, "It is impossible for one person to play in the entire knockout round for three games in a row."

Alamenomma's abstention actually reduced the Japanese team's chances of playing by a quarter.

"I heard that Aramenomma's abstention is also related to you." King Ni raised his lips and hinted, "Echizen-kun?"

Echizen: "..."

It's really about him.

Rarely, Echizen's eyes drifted away for a moment with a guilty conscience.

Nioh himself does not intend to play against the German team.

The Byodoin Institute came to him once later, and he felt the determination of the Byodoin Institute to decide the outcome with Borg.

Although before that, it was known from the lottery results that if they could meet the German team, they would only be in the semi-finals instead of the finals, but the Court of Equality still chose Borg as their opponent.

"The German team was No.1 last year and has also defended many World Cup titles." Byodoin's tone sounded flat, but Nioh could feel the waves from the words, "I will defeat him with my own hands!"

"What about the final?"

"Isn't there you in the final?"

Nioh who heard these words from Byodoin couldn't hide his surprised expression.

And the Byodoin Institute twitched the corners of its mouth like a mockery: "Why, don't you plan to take the responsibility of No.1?"

This is probably the reason why Nioh did many things that No.1 would do after that.

As the leader, the senior, put his own consciousness in front of him.Nioh's emotional reading ability allows him to feel the determination of Byodoin, and the intention hidden under the determination, which means sacrifice and desperate.Nioh didn't understand why this happened. If it is speculated, it is probably that Byodoin does not plan to play professionally. This will be the highest level game before he gave up tennis.

Nioh's nature can be regarded as a person who eats soft but not hard.

He is soft-hearted, and his emotional awareness and phantoms allow him to empathize with other people.

It's one thing to understand it, it's another to be moved by it.Nioh wants Byodoin to fulfill his wish, at least when the senior who has always been "defiant" will say such tragic words, it is really hard to refuse.

"Senior Byodoin will be the singles player in this game." Nioh said, "The other candidates have not yet been decided. Is anyone planning to play doubles in this game?"

"Doubles should be combined with the seniors." Kirihara scratched his head, "Actually, I don't want to play doubles, but I always feel that if I enter the competition list, I will be arranged to play doubles... Ah, damn, I want to compete with Tezuka !"

"Then if you had to choose between doubles and not playing, what would you choose?" Nioh asked.

Kirihara showed a shaken expression.

He thought about it for a long time, until Nioh confirmed whether other people minded doubles, and got a reply, then reluctantly gave an answer under Nioh's urging: "If you can only play doubles...then I still To play!"

And doubles with a senior partner is also pretty good, Kirihara thought so.

It is true that the high school students in the national team are good to Kirihara, and Tono also protected Kirihara when he partnered with Kirihara before.Probably because Kirihara's "simpleness" is too obvious, simple and direct with a natural wildness, and also has an "angel-like" side. High school students naturally have the idea that "such a junior will definitely be bullied by others if they don't protect themselves".

In this matter, Liu also made an inaccurate demonstration: he took Kirihara basically as a way of taking care of children.

The preliminary opinions are integrated and brought to a meeting with the coaching staff.

"The others are fine. If both Yukimura-kun and Atobe-kun play in this match..." Kurobe frowned, "What about the final? Let them play again?"

"Germany should be better than the United States?" In the pre-match predictions, everyone believed that the American team would beat the Spanish team.

The roster was quickly finalized. Although it was based on the opinions of the players themselves, victory is more important, so the roster must be a combination with a higher winning percentage.

The situation of the warm-up match is used as a reference. In the final list of players, Watanabe and Fuji are the second in doubles, Tanejima and Kirihara in the first doubles, Oni in the third singles, Yukimura in the second singles, and Byodoin in the first singles.

"Actually, Senior Tanejima and the Atobe team can play a double." After getting the list, Nioh joked, "Are the coaches planning to give Chiya a chance?"

"He has potential and determination." Kurobe said.

And the reason is not limited to this, another reason is: "Atobe-kun will not play tennis after the World Cup. Kirihara-kun should have the will to develop professionally."

After all, the German team was No.1 last year. The coaching staff actually made the list by considering the German team as the biggest imaginary enemy in the World Cup.

If Byodoin hadn't approached them in advance to say that they wanted to fight Borg, they, who had also watched the match between Byodoin and Nioh, might have struggled for a long time as to which of them should play.One must be reserved for the finals. Two consecutive games consume too much physical strength and energy, which will affect performance.

But the House of Equality made its own choice first.

Kurobe never thought that Nioh would get the No.1 badge from Byodoin before the knockout rounds started.

He always thought that it might be Tanejima or Tokugawa who would do this, but he didn't expect it to be Nioh.

But after watching the game, he realized that Saito and Mifune didn't seem to be surprised.

Is it because I don't know enough about the players?

Kurobu, who inevitably fell into such a misunderstanding, recently worked overtime soared, trying to spend more time understanding his players and opponents.

Mifune will not stop this.Someone works for him as the head coach, doesn't it just give him time to drink and take a walk?Moreover, Kurobe was originally scheduled to be the next head coach of the U17 training camp, so it is a good thing to work hard.

"Let's settle it like this." He tapped on the table, "Notify the others who are going to participate in the competition that the doubles players can start doing coordination exercises in advance."
