No matter how the coaching staff and the representative team fall asleep, time will not stop for them. Early the next morning, the players and coaches of the Japanese team set off from the hotel to the competition venue by bus.

Perhaps because today's opponent is the German team, the atmosphere in the car is not warm, it can even be said to be cold.Yukimura believes that part of this is because coach Mifune did not announce the candidates for today's competition.

Tokugawa, who sat in the front row, hesitated for a while, and broke the silent atmosphere: "Can Taneshima-san catch up with the official competition?" Still playing in the professional game), but when the official game starts, all players must be present, and those who fail to arrive will be disqualified from the game.

As the second-ranked player in the U17 first team, if Taneshima is disqualified because he cannot arrive in time, it will be a big blow to the Japanese team.Especially the series of problems brought about by the lack of combat power.

Mitsuya, who was sitting next to Tokugawa, said with a smile: "It should be possible to catch up. I heard that the boat is heading this way."

"Maybe it's already sunk hahahahahaha." The words of Tono, who was separated from them by the aisle, made the atmosphere awkward again.

Should it be said that Tohno-senpai is innocent or outspoken?Yukimura sighed from the bottom of his heart, and opened his mouth to smooth things over.The journey has only been less than halfway, and it is not a problem to continue to be embarrassed like this.

"The warm-up match is a combination of high school students and junior high school students," Yukimura said, "I don't know what kind of combination it will be."

Irie leaned forward slightly, lying on the back of the chair in front, "I really want to partner with Atobe."

It was Atobe who was sitting in front of Irie. These two people have discovered a lot of similarities with each other since the pitch change match, but this does not prevent Atobe from being unwilling and appreciative of Irie. .

Yukimura can see this, and he believes that other people can too, because Atobe is not a person who likes to keep things to himself.

He looked at Coach Mifune sitting at the front, then at Atobe who refused Irie's invitation, and blinked.

Yukimura felt that it was too early for Atobe to refuse.You must know that the list and order of appearances are determined by the head coach Mifune. He does not believe that Mifune, who also sees this, will allow Atobe to continue to participate in the next game with such a complicated mood.

The warm-up match for the World Cup is held simultaneously in different venues by 32 countries and regions. As the overlord of the nine consecutive championships, the warm-up match of the German team has attracted much attention.As the opponent of the German team, the Japanese team has also attracted much attention.It's just that the reasons are different.

However, this does not affect other national teams sending people to collect information.

"There are so many spectators here today..." Kirihara looked around on tiptoe and exclaimed, "Are they all here to watch the German team match? It's amazing..."

Echizen was also shocked by this scene, but his focus was different from Kirihara: "Is the German team strong?" He pointed to the location of the US team leader who had contacted him before, "The team leaders of other countries are not preparing not the game, but come here to watch the game.”

Although Echizen is skeptical, can any useful information be collected from the exhibition match?

As members of the data team, Mitsugu, Liu and Gan also came to the scene.

"Although there are still a few players in the German team who are still competing overseas, even the incomplete German team is a good target for collecting data." Liu said, with a faint expression on his face, "For every For the team that wants to hit the championship, the German team is the opponent they must beat."

"Just like you have always regarded Li Haida as the ultimate opponent. For them, the German team is also the last opponent they must defeat."

Dashi thought for a while and said, "But it's still not the same... The German team has won nine consecutive championships."

Of course there is a reason for Oishi to say such a thing.Japan doesn't pay much attention to the sport of tennis, while Germany has been teaching children about it from an early age in a scientific way.This is why tennis in Germany and other European countries is called "elite tennis".Correspondingly, the tennis education that Japan has only developed and paid attention to in recent years can be said to be "stocking".

Shiraishi, who has always been gentle, rarely showed his aggressive side at this moment, "What's wrong with the nine consecutive championships? The middle school students of the German team may not be as good as us!"

They didn't get to continue on the topic because Coach Three Ships called out a few names.

"Watanabe, Irie, Tokugawa," coach Mifune glanced around the lounge, first ordered three high school students, then paused, and ordered three junior high school students: "Fuji, Atobe, Yukimura .You guys come with me."

The high school students are fine, but a few of the junior high school students sighed unavoidably.

Although he didn't say it clearly, coach Sanfuan just named the names of six players, three high school students and three junior high school students, and the warm-up match happened to only need six players.After spending some time with coach Sanchuan, everyone understands that this seemingly sloppy head coach has his own plans in mind, and is an absolute opportunist and profit maximizer.

In short, the three boat coaches never do superfluous things.

Coach Sanchuan looked at the six people he pointed out, and none of them had any unnecessary expressions on their faces. He snorted in satisfaction, and led a few people to sit on the benches in the arena.

"Coach, our order of appearance..." Tokugawa asked.

Coach Sanchuan raised his eyelids, "Don't worry, I will tell you before going on stage."

After receiving such an answer, Tokugawa realized that he could no longer ask any more questions from Coach Mifune.But he is inevitably a little anxious and nervous-he has always been a singles player, and has never partnered with other people in an official game.In the training camp, even in the daily doubles practice, his partners are Irie and Oni, two seniors who have taken good care of him.

However, in the World Cup warm-up match, his partner will only be one of the three middle school students present.

take it easy.Yukimura lip-syncs to him, we'll win.

Tokugawa calmed down strangely, but he smiled bitterly unconsciously in his heart: he was obviously a senior, but he was comforted by a junior who was younger than him.

But soon, Tokugawa didn't have the mood to be nervous, not only him, but also the others.

——The German team is in conflict.It is not appropriate to say that it is internal strife. Compared with internal strife, what happened to the German team just now is more like a brawl.Although the other party was too calm and did not continue to develop in this out-of-control direction.

Although the Japanese team and the German team are located at opposite ends of the field, whether it was the six people waiting on the sidelines or other people in the lounge, they all saw the whole process with their own eyes or through live broadcast.The cause of the incident was that Q.P of the German team wanted Seyfried to inquire about some news from Tezuka, who had been trained in the training camp for a period of time.

But Seyfried didn't want to.

"Let me ask him?" Seyfried sneered, raised his hand and grabbed Tezuka, "A player who is not even German, do you think he will truthfully tell us the information about his former teammates?"

Although Tezuka quickly dealt with the farce, the Japanese team felt somewhat uncomfortable.

"That guy, even though his neck was strangled, he still has such an annoying face." Mu Shou snorted coldly.

Sanada clenched his fists: "At any time, violence is not the first choice to solve the problem...!"

Shiraishi's eyes stayed on the faces of several other German team players for a while: "Tezuka's situation doesn't seem to be as good as we thought."

On the other side, Yukimura, who was sitting on the bench next to the arena, also asked Atobe about the lottery meeting last night.

"If I remember correctly, you said yesterday that Borg took Tezuka to draw lots?"

Atobe nodded, the expression on his face was not very good-looking.Obviously, he did not expect yesterday that Tezuka, who has become a member of the German representative team, is not particularly happy in the team.

Yukimura on the sidelines sighed and lowered his eyelids.

"If that's the case, I probably understand why the middle school student has such an attitude."

Fuji turned his head to the side, staring at Yukimura with ice blue eyes: "Why?"

Other people on the sidelines also looked over.

"Borg has a high status in the German team. He is already a professional player and has never lost a year since he registered as a professional player. In a sense, Borg is the spiritual symbol of the German team. Many native German middle school students They all have strong admiration for Borg," Yukimura paused indiscernibly, and then continued, "Each of them wants to win Borg's favor by virtue of their own strength. But..."

"But they didn't do it, Tezuka did." Fuji sighed, he already understood what Yukimura wanted to say, "This is the fundamental reason why they don't like Tezuka."

However, most of the reason why Tezuka is favored by Borg is because of his strength, right?That being the case, why is the German team still acting like this...?Everything he has experienced has nothing to do with what happened today, and even the Byodoin House, which is harshest on him, would not do such a thing in public.

Tokugawa didn't understand why the German team's incident happened today. Even after listening to the conversation between Yukimura and Fuji, he still half understood.But Tokugawa didn't ask, he was not a talkative person, so he just quietly listened to the conversation between Yukimura and Fuji.

Yukimura nodded, and his eyes fell on the court again, "Also, according to gossip, Borg has introduced Tezuka to his own sponsor."

Now, even a dull man like Tokugawa understands the root cause of the internal strife in the German team.

After a moment of silence, Bu Er let out a restrained sigh after a long time.

"I didn't expect you to pay attention to gossip."

Yukimura glanced at him, and changed the subject cooperatively: "The gossip is not necessarily wrong. Occasionally there is still some value."
