#147 - His existence is a miracle.
“Hello everyone from Japan.”
Reinhardt introduced himself, “I am Ralph Reinhardt.”
“These three are Alan Hopkins, Chico Barrientos, and Dudu Obando respectively.”
Hearing Reinhardt's self-introduction, Byodoin Ho-oh and the others' expressions slightly tightened.
Ralph Reinhardt!
That name...
As expected, Byodoin Ho-oh subconsciously looked towards Yukimura.
“You are Reinhardt?”
Oni Jujiro looked at Reinhardt and asked.
Reinhardt was stunned, he didn't quite understand the meaning of Oni Jujiro's words. Hopkins also looked at Oni Jujiro, with a look of doubt in his eyes.
Could it be that the name Reinhardt is strange?
Chico and Obando couldn't help but exchange a glance.
“I am Reinhardt.”
Reinhardt looked at Oni Jujiro and smiled, “May I ask if there is something wrong?”
With that, Reinhardt took the lead and led the way.
“Reinhardt—he is completely different from the American U-17 team members.”
Irie Kanata narrowed his eyes and said.
The American team is the fourth strongest team in the world, and their first string is extremely arrogant, but this Reinhardt has not shown any arrogance from beginning to end.
This really surprised them.
“Yukimura, is the Reinhardt you mentioned him?”
Irie Kanata looked at Yukimura and asked.
“It is him!”
Yukimura nodded.
“He is indeed a mysterious person.”
Oni Jujiro's eyes narrowed slightly as he said this.
“It seems that the American team is not that chaotic after all!”
Mitsuya Akuto pushed up the glasses on his nose.
“That's not necessarily true.”
Yukimura smiled and said, “Perhaps it's just individual cases.”
“Let's go.”
Byodoin Ho-oh said indifferently, and then followed Reinhardt.
Thirty minutes later.
Reinhardt led the Japanese team to the hotel they would be staying at.
This place is very close to the American U-17 training camp, only a few minutes' walk away.
Although the American team only sent Reinhardt to welcome the Japanese team, everything that should be done has been done.
“Well then, everyone can rest here today.”
Reinhardt said to Byodoin Ho-oh and the others, “After you have rested, I will take you to the training camp together.”
“Thank you.”
Byodoin Ho-oh said to Reinhardt, he really didn't expect that the attitude of the person in front of him was completely different from what was in the data.
“Then we will leave first, everyone please rest well.”
Reinhardt smiled, glanced at Yukimura without leaving a trace, and then turned and left.
Following closely, Hopkins, as well as Chico and Obando also left in turn.
After leaving the hotel.
Chico looked at Reinhardt and couldn't help but say, “Reinhardt, although the Japanese team is somewhat famous in the world, you seem to be too enthusiastic.”
“Is that so?”
Reinhardt had a smile on his face, and said indifferently.
“It is a bit.”
Obando said, “Although the Japanese team is much stronger than the previous teams, it is still not enough, right?”
Hopkins glanced at the two of them and said, “Do you know that in the World Cup match between the Japanese team and the French team, if the Japanese team hadn't held back some strength, the French team would have lost that match.”
Hearing this, Chico and Obando's expressions paused.
“Is this true?”
Chico said somewhat suspiciously, “Although I saw reports saying this before, it is still hard to believe.”
“Why would the Japanese team hold back their strength? Defeating the French team would have allowed their fame and ranking to rise again, they couldn't possibly not understand this principle.”
Obando was also very puzzled.
“It's very simple.”
Reinhardt said slowly, “Didn't you see that, except for the regulars, the rest of the Japanese team's first string are all new faces?”
After hearing Reinhardt's words, the two realized.
“Since the Japanese team started participating in the World Cup, they have basically advanced by relying on the last three singles matches.”
“Winning some doubles matches is also very rare.”
“And in every singles match, there are at least two regulars.”
“The Japanese team's promotion only relies on these regulars, as for the other first string members, they have not played any role at all.”
“In order to retain the last bit of strength, the Japanese team would rather choose not to win, so that in the next U-17 World Cup, the opponents will not know the opponent's strength!”
“The current Japanese team is the strongest lineup of the Japanese team.”
Reinhardt's words made Chico and Obando's expressions slightly stern.
Hopkins looked at Chico and Obando.
“What's wrong?”
Chico asked curiously after feeling Hopkins' gaze.
“It's normal for the Japanese team to want to hide their strength.”
Hopkins said slowly, “In the next U-17 World Cup, the Japanese team will show even stronger strength than before.”
“There are a few players in the current Japanese team who are very strong.”
“Especially that Mitsuya Akuto, he gives me a feeling similar to Germany's G.P.”
“This feeling is not strength, but a strategist—”
Hopkins said slowly.
“I remember, that Mitsuya Akuto is a first-year high school student?”
Chico frowned and said, “Is he that powerful?”
“Don't underestimate anyone.”
Reinhardt's eyes narrowed slightly, “The current Japanese team is completely different from the previous Japanese team, those who can enter the current Japanese team are definitely not ordinary people.”
“Just like the previous Child of God—.”
Child of God!
Hearing these three words, Hopkins, Chico, and Obando's expressions changed again.
When Yukimura participated in the French U-17 World Cup, people all over the world were surprised.
They didn't expect that the Japanese team would send a junior high school student to participate in the competition.
What is the U-17 World Cup?
That is a world-class event, all of which are gathered by powerful high school students from various countries to conduct competitions.
In this kind of world-class event, there is actually a junior high school student??
But no one thought that this junior high school student would be so strong!
Became the world's youngest world-class player in the first year of junior high school!
And in the singles match, he defeated the French team's genius, Leopold Camus!!
“His existence——perhaps is a miracle.”
Reinhardt suddenly remembered something someone had said to him.
“A miracle?”
Hopkins glanced at Reinhardt and said slowly, “Perhaps, his own achievements are a miracle, and I am afraid that it will be a miracle that no one will surpass in the future.”
Chico suddenly laughed: “Isn't that very good? The expedition match in two days is just an opportunity, isn't it?”
Obando nodded lightly and said with a smile: “In this way, everything will return to its original state.”
Reinhardt narrowed his eyes and did not speak.
