#225 - Highly anticipated competition
In the blink of an eye.
It's time for the warm-up match.
This is the first match of the warm-up!
It is a match that many teams are paying attention to. It is even more of a match that is getting double the attention.
At this moment.
"Ladies and gentlemen!"
"The exhibition match before the U-17 World Cup, Germany versus the Neon Team, is about to begin!"
"Now, let's welcome the German team, the nine-time U-17 World Cup champions!"
The host's voice was impassioned, and the sound instantly penetrated the entire stadium, and the emotion in it stirred up the atmosphere of the audience!
Suddenly.
"German team!"
"German team!"
"German team!"
In an instant! The audience in the entire venue shouted frantically!
The sound was like thunder, and the applause was like thunder!
In the midst of this roar, the German team in German team uniforms walked out!
Leading the way was team leader Polk!
After that, when all the members of the German team stood on the court, the host shouted again:
"Next, let's invite the German team's opponent, the Neon Team!"
When Equalityin Phoenix and Yukimura led 19 people on the stage.
It can't be said that the scene was very quiet, only sparse noises rang out.
The audience hesitated.
The Neon Team's opponent is the champion German Team?!
Then what's there to see?
The disparity in strength is more than just a little bit.
"This performance might be boring."
"Yes, I didn't expect the German team to play so easily."
"I feel like this ticket is a bit worthless, it might be over soon."
"The Neon Team is really pitiful, they have to play against the champion German team right from the start."
Among the discussions, there was nothing but doubt about Neon, and no one believed that the Neon Team would win.
Only Echizen Nanjirō smiled in the corner of the auditorium.
"This is the world. When no one is paying attention to you, the atmosphere of the scene can't overwhelm you."
"Neon Team, what are you going to do?"
Echizen Nanjirō smiled as he looked at the Neon Team on the court.
Court.
At this time, the opening ceremony has ended.
The Neon Team and the German Team are selecting their players to play.
But without Mifune Iriado deliberately emphasizing it, Kirihara Akaya and Kimijima Ikuto also understood the significance of this first game.
If they win, then all the subsequent games will invisibly boost the morale of the teammates.
And once they lose, no matter what plan is specified, it will leave a mark in the hearts of the players, thereby affecting the outcome of the entire game.
Especially for Kimijima Ikuto, who is a negotiator on the court.
He understands the pros and cons of this game even more.
At this time, Kimijima Ikuto smiled and observed the situation of the German team on the opposite side.
Even the slightest bit of information will become exceptionally useful in front of Kimijima Ikuto.
At the same time.
Bismarck and Siegfried are ready to walk to the court.
Bismarck's expression was serious, but Siegfried looked disdainful.
"Siegfried, did you listen to what the team leader said?"
Seeing this, Bismarck's face sank and he looked at Siegfried.
"Senior Bismarck, you are too cautious. A team like the Neon Team can be solved by me alone."
Siegfried looked at Bismarck and said, with a hint of disdain and pride on his face. Even among the junior high school students of the champion German Team, his strength is still among the best.
So.
Siegfried really doesn't understand why the team leader and the staff are so cautious.
They are the champions!
They are the champion German team!
"Be careful anyway."
Hearing this, Bismarck frowned.
Siegfried gave an indifferent "oh" sound.
Then he ignored Bismarck and walked onto the court.
This scene was all seen by Kimijima Ikuto.
Even without hearing too much sound.
But with his long-term negotiation experience.
Kimijima Ikuto immediately knew a few key words.
The arrogance of the new players, the dissatisfaction of the old players with Siegfried, not bad strength, impatience.
This piece of information.
Directly showed Kimijima Ikuto the way to win this game. This game is his negotiation field.
Everything is under Kimijima Ikuto's control.
Kimijima Ikuto showed a faint smile and said: "Won."
"Senior Kimijima?"
Kirihara Akaya looked at Kimijima Ikuto in confusion.
"It's okay, let's go, Kirihara-kun."
Kimijima Ikuto walked towards the court with a charming smile.
Kimijima Ikuto chuckled softly: "Hopefully, the negotiation will be successful."
Not long after.
The four had arrived in front of the net.
"Pfft! You sent guys like you in the first game?"
Siegfried looked at Kimijima Ikuto and Kirihara Akaya with arrogance and disdain: "Are you looking down on me?"
His opponents looked like they had never seen the world, and one looked like a pretty boy.
They can't even be considered opponents.
At this time.
"You must be very strong."
Kimijima Ikuto didn't care about Siegfried's words and said to him: "The players who can play first for the champion German team must have their strength recognized by everyone."
"Hmph, do I need you to say that?"
Siegfried still said disdainfully: "You Neon can just wait to lose this game!"
"Siegfried."
Bismarck finally couldn't help but shout.
In Bismarck's opinion, Kimijima Ikuto was obviously trying to make Siegfried's emotions arrogant.
Unexpectedly, Siegfried didn't have any defenses.
He completely fell for the other party's trap.
Not all of the German team are arrogant people like you!
The reason why we can win is also the result of the German team's persistent training and efforts.
Moreover, the German team's advantage is that they don't relax when competing with anyone.
But now Siegfried is completely immersed in his own world.
"What I said is the truth. Senior, let me end the game quickly."
Siegfried said impatiently, ignoring Bismarck's anger and disdain.
"Yes, you should be able to end the game quickly."
Kimijima Ikuto pushed his glasses and said with a smile: "Actually, Kirihara, who is teaming up with me, was temporarily arranged."
Hearing this, Siegfried was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "You told us such important news, are you an idiot?"
"Who knows."
Kimijima Ikuto didn't continue to answer his question.
He turned around and returned to the baseline.
"Hmph! I'll let you lose the game immediately!"
Siegfried snorted coldly and said unhappily.
"Siegfried, I'll say it one last time, don't be emotional."
Bismarck reminded him, seeing that Siegfried's emotions had already become inflated and impatient.
"I know! Start quickly."
Siegfried said impatiently.
Then the two teams returned to the baseline.
"Game start, German team Siegfried's serve!"
The referee announced.
Hearing this, Kimijima Ikuto showed a faint smile.
