NOVEL NEXT Chapter 213
0213 Draw site! All teams gathered! The attention of all!
Two days later.
Melbourne.
Everest Hotel, top floor.
In a large venue, high school students and junior high school students wearing various uniforms gathered together.
This is the draw site for the friendly exchange match before the U-17 World Cup.
Although it is called a draw site.
But in addition to the rows of seats, there is also an area with various desserts and drinks.
If you don’t know, you might think it is a buffet.
In the venue.
The draw representatives of each U-17 team who have arrived in advance are a pair of a high school student and a junior high school student.
This is also the requirement of the organizer.
After all.
The competition system of the friendly exchange match is a doubles match between high school students and junior high school students.
A few team representatives found a secluded place to sit, waiting for the draw ceremony to begin.
Most of the remaining team representatives stood together in twos and threes, talking softly.
Most of them are frequent visitors to the U-17 World Cup in the past.
They have had some interactions with each other due to the expedition race or the previous competition.
“I don’t know what the organizers were thinking! They had to come up with a new competition system! They put junior high school students into the team at the last minute! It’s really a headache!”
“Who says it’s not true! I never paid attention to junior high school students before, but now I suddenly need to find a few junior high school students to join. I don’t know how to choose! I also need to train them to the point where they are good enough to play! It’s too difficult!”
“Then our Danish U-17 is considered lucky, as there are many outstanding junior high school students in this generation!”
“Anyway, I’m curious…….Will there be any changes in this year’s top four teams due to this new competition system?”
“Hey! It’s possible! But at most, it’s just a change in order! Don’t forget, their basic tennis training system is very complete! It must be much easier for them to find junior high school students than for us!”
“That’s not necessarily true! This year’s top four positions……Is it really reliable? There is a team that has the ability to threaten them!!”
“you mean……United States U-17?!”
“Otherwise?! It is said that more than half a year ago, the internal strife of the U-17 team was quelled! The previous head coach Harold was kicked out of the training camp by the new head coach Reinhardt! Reinhardt’s strength should not be underestimated!”
“That’s right! The key is that it’s not just Reinhardt! There’s also the Northern Frontier……”
“Yes, yes, yes! 29! This little guy……When he came to Columbia, he was only 12 years old! He actually beat our 14 high school players!”
“Hey! He went to Colombia?! But he also came to Denmark!”
“……Damn! How many places has he been to play basketball?! He has also appeared in our Portugal! He even crippled the leg of a high school player!!”
As the topic turned to the U.S. U-17 and Northern Xinjiang, the scattered chatters gathered together.
In the seats with few people sitting nearby,
Zeus and a Greek middle school student, Evangelos, watched all this quietly.
“Captain, I seem to have heard the name Beijiang in the training camp…….”
“He is also a junior high school student?……He beat French U-17 captain Leopold Camus?”
“Oh, right! Has he ever been to our training camp?”
Zeus listened and nodded slightly.
“Well, he was here! But at that time, you and Apollo had not yet moved into the Golden Training Ground! So, you didn’t know about it!”
The Golden Training Ground is a special training ground for the Greek U-17 training camp, also known as the Olympia training camp. The
Bronze Training Ground is responsible for the enlightenment and interest of primary school players.
The Silver Training Ground is a training ground for systematic training and further strengthening the training of the reserve team.
Many Greek junior high school and high school students gathered there.
The brothers Evangelos and Apollo were both players of the Silver Training Ground.
And the Golden Training Ground……It is a place where only the players of the official team train.
This set of mechanisms also makes the Greek U-17 different from most other teams when facing this new competition system.
It can find suitable junior high school students faster and conduct better training and cultivation.
However!!
The talents of the junior high school students of the Greek U-17 generation did not particularly satisfy Zeus. Only Evangelos and the other three were outstanding.
Even if the others were trained and cultivated, they would probably not be qualified to set foot on the U-17 World Cup stadium at the age of junior high school.
Soon.
With the arrival of Peter, the vice-captain of the Swiss U-17 representative, and a junior high school student.
The arrival of the representatives of the top four teams made the entire draw venue have a relatively formal focus for the first time.
However.
Most people just nodded and said hello.
Although Peter is the vice-captain of the Swiss U-17, everyone knows that Amadeus is the real core of the Swiss U-17 team!
At present, Amadeus is still at the critical moment of a professional tour!
It is impossible for him to rush back to participate in the temporary friendly exchange match, let alone come out to draw lots.
The French U-17 team followed suit!
The appearance of Camus and Plans also attracted a lot of discussion.
“Camus……The French U-17 team lost to the US U-17 team! I still can’t believe it!!”
“Who says it’s not true?! Camus also lost to that junior high school student named Beijiang!! It’s hard for me to imagine what happened in that game!!”
“Among the top four teams, the French U-17 is very strong! But they have always been hovering around third or fourth place! It seems that if the US U-17 can squeeze into the top four this year, they will most likely be replaced!”
“It is possible! But maybe Spain? These two teams are probably the most dangerous this year!”
“……”
Camus and Plans heard and saw the whispers and facial expressions of the teams.
“Damn it! Are they laughing at us? They are such a bunch of fools who have no self-awareness!
Compared to Plans’s uncontrollable anger, Camus’ expression was calm, always maintaining his unique elegance and composure.
“Prince Plans, do you remember what I asked of you when you wanted me to bring you to the draw ceremony?”
These words made Plans’ clenched fists loosen reluctantly.
Before coming,
Camus had warned him that he would definitely encounter some criticism because of the expedition match with the US U-17.
At that time, he patted his chest and said that he would definitely control his emotions and would not bother with these guys who only talked about people behind their backs.
Who knows, even if he was prepared.
But when he heard these people say that the French U-17 would be replaced in the top four, his pride and self-esteem still felt insulted!!
Moreover, the people who did all this were just a group of players from the middle and lower-level teams.
“call——”
“Okay! Camus, it was this prince who got impulsive!”
As he said this, he sat obediently on the seat beside him with a gloomy face.
Camus saw this and smiled slightly.
Since Plans was taught a lesson by the U.S. U-17, he has become more satisfied with his character and self-control. He is not afraid of having flaws, but is afraid of thinking that he has no flaws.
Similarly, he does not care about the comments of people in the outside world. In his eyes, they are just some boring gossip.
Whether it is to prove the strength of the French U-17 team or his personal strength, the best way is not to argue with reason.
Instead, he stands on the court and shows his strength.
Let them know that the French U-17 is still one of the top four teams that ordinary teams cannot reach!!
He, Camus, is also a player who is out of ordinary talented players and at the top of the U-17 World Cup pyramid!!…(To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
Time passed by. It was less than 10 minutes before the draw ceremony.
Only a few teams had not yet entered.
When the draw representatives of Neon U-17, Byodoin Phoenix and Atobe Keigo walked in together, many people just glanced in their direction. They quickly turned their eyes away.[]
“Byodoin-senpai, it seems that our presence is really low!”
“Humph! Little devil! Stop using your standards! What’s the difference between your eyes and those of a blind person at this moment?”
“What do you mean?” Atobe Keigo frowned slightly, somewhat unhappy with the impolite words of Byodoin Phoenix.
Byodoin Phoenix glanced at the whole audience and said in a deep voice:”You should have seen the looks those guys gave you just now…….”
“He doesn’t seem to care, but did you see the fear in his eyes?”
Atobe Keigo thought about it silently for a while, then quickly reacted.
Seeing that he understood, Byodoin Phoenix sneered disdainfully:”The reason those trash don’t pay attention to us is just because our points ranking is very low!”
“But!! They can’t completely ignore us, because they know! My strength is enough to destroy their players on the court!!”
“Kid, remember this! From today on, you middle school students will face the baptism of world tennis! Here, only strength is king!”
“No matter how talented you are……If it is destroyed on the court, it will be meaningless!”
Atobe Keigo narrowed his eyes and said,”This master……Got it!”
As the two sat down, many people exclaimed
“Germany U-17 is here!!”
“really……Even for this friendly match draw, it was Polk who came forward!!”
“Polk has focused his tennis career on the professional league last year, and he probably wants to have a perfect ending to this year’s U-17 World Cup!”
“Of course! I heard that in order not to miss any of the games in this U-17 World Cup, he postponed the current round of professional tour! Otherwise, with his strength, he would definitely be like Amadeus, unable to rush to Melbourne as soon as possible because the game was not finished!!”
“Germany U-17 has won nine consecutive championships! If they win this time, it will once again break the U-17 World Cup championship record!!”
“As long as the quality of the junior high school players is not too bad, I think the German U-17 team has a great chance of winning the championship! There is no need to say much about Polk’s strength, he is the strongest singles player! The key is that they also have a pair of professional doubles players in the team this year!!”
“Hiss!! Professional doubles?!”
“That’s right! Dankmar Schneider and Berti Borisovich Polk! One is in the third year of high school, and the other is in the third year of junior high school! A doubles team trained by the German U-17 training camp! Last year, they achieved remarkable results in the doubles professional league!”
“I heard that Berti Borisovich Polk is Polk’s younger brother!!”
“Good Guy……Three professional players?!”
“……”
The exclamations and discussions of the teams continued to surge, almost making Polk and the junior high school student Seyfried he brought with him the focus of the whole venue.
However, the calm expression on his face and the fact that he sat directly in the middle of the lottery seat at the venue showed that such a scene was not enough for him to take to heart.
When Polk looked into Camus and Pete’s eyes, he nodded and said hello. Atobe Keigo opened his mouth slightly.
He didn’t know before……U-There are actually professional players in the opponent team of the 17th World Cup!!
“You’d better put away your expression now! You represent the junior high school students of Neon U-17! Don’t be so embarrassed!”The cold whisper of the Phoenix of Byodoin beside him made Keigo Atobe come back to his senses and straighten his expression.
“professional player……Three professional players who can play both singles and doubles! No wonder Germany U-17 is called the dominant team!”
Atobe Keigo’s sigh was not refuted by Byodoin Phoenix.
Because this is the truth!!
He knows Germany U-17 much better than the other party, and he knows that Germany U-17 also has two high school students who should not be underestimated.
Not only is he only in the second year of high school, but his talent is evaluated as no less than Polk!
Even the team’s chief advisor, who is praised as”perfect quality”——.P!
There is also a semi-professional player who is about to enter the professional arena – Vice Captain Michael Bismarck!
Although the Phoenix of Byodoin has not personally witnessed the personal strength of the two. But it is difficult to be famous in vain!
The entire venue became particularly quiet after Polk arrived and the discussion gradually subsided.
Seeing the organizer’s representative also stepped into the venue. Plans sitting next to Camus.
Atobe Keigo sitting next to Byodoin Phoenix.
Zeus, Peter……
Even in the dark corners.
Two high school and junior high school representatives wearing the Spanish U-17 uniforms entered the venue without being noticed by the crowd, and occasionally looked towards the entrance.
Vice Captain Frioro Roman and the junior high school freshman Seda, who was wearing a mask covering the lower half of his face.
Until 2 minutes before the draw ceremony officially began
“Ta-ta-ta——”
There were slight footsteps at the entrance of the venue.
The next second.
Two figures wearing the standard uniforms of the U.S. U-17 team walked into the door of the venue side by side.
It was Reinhardt with a faint smile on his face, and Beijiang who was dragged by the other side.
Beijiang originally thought that he didn’t need to participate in such things.
Let Xiao Jin or Tezuka follow the other party to draw lots!
However.
Reinhard said that this was a formal occasion, and since Beijiang is now the captain of the junior high school students in the team, it is natural that they should appear together!
In this regard, Beijiang can only run with the other party.
Seeing the appearance of the two.
Seda, a junior high school student of the Spanish U-17, subconsciously stood up and wanted to say something.
But he was held down by Frio:”Be quiet, little guy! I know you haven’t seen him for a long time, but since you don’t want to be recognized by Zeus, why don’t you find Beijiang privately later when you have a chance!”
“There is plenty of time! Are you still afraid that you won’t have the chance to meet him again?”
Seda frowned slightly, said nothing more, and sat back in his seat.
But his silence did not mean that others in the meeting would not speak out.
“America!! United States U-17!!”
“Reinhardt!!”
“Northern Xinjiang!! They are finally here!!”
“He is Beijiang? He doesn’t look special! The US U-17 is so arrogant! They are the last team to arrive, right? They made so many teams wait for them!”
“What are you Hungarian U-17 shouting about? There are many teams ranked higher than you! When will you be able to represent us?!”
“I…..Humph! You are just a bunch of spineless people!!”
“……”
The originally quiet meeting place started to get noisy.
Zeus, Byodoin Phoenix, Camus, and Polk all stood up almost at the same time.
