Chapter 231 Chance to Play with a Professional Team
Chapter 231 The opportunity to play against a professional team
Does Oikawa Tooru want to join youth training?
Obviously really want to.
In fact, it doesn't matter if he is in youth training or not, the main thing is that he can't lose to Ushijima Wakali.
In the past few years, because he had been losing to Shiratorizawa, Oikawa Toru's performance was not noticed by the people in the youth training team. But after entering the national competition this year, as long as the coach of the youth training team is not blind, he will definitely be able to see.
Oikawa Tetsu's talent.
However, it is a pity that the youth training team has an age limit. Basically, the players invited to participate in the youth training every year are never third-year players.
heard the news.
Oikawa Tooru, who could barely maintain a calm expression at first, felt a slight change in his mentality.
"Is this invitation mandatory?"
At this moment, Akashi Asuka suddenly asked.
Mizoguchi Sadyuki was confused by this question for a while, and replied: "The invitation from the youth training team is not mandatory, but generally speaking, no one should refuse..."
"Then refuse it for me!"
"Okay, no question...huh?"
Before Mizoguchi finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by Akashi Asuka. Mizoguchi, who didn't hear the words clearly at first, subconsciously responded, but then he realized something was wrong.
"Um???"
"Akashi, what did you just say? Refuse? Are you going to refuse the invitation from the national youth training team?"
Mizoguchi Sadashi's eyes widened in an instant. Not only Mizoguchi Saduki, but also other people on the side looked at Akashi Asuka in disbelief, as if they were wondering if they heard wrong just now.
"What? Isn't it possible?"
"No, no, no... This is not a question of whether it is possible or not! This is an invitation from the national youth training team. Only the truly top young players in the country can receive invitations. Why should you refuse?"
"Why?"
Akashi Asuka touched his chin, thought for a while, and said, "Probably, it's because it doesn't mean anything to me!"
Akashi Asuka had learned something about the so-called national youth training team before. Generally speaking, every year after the spring high school qualifiers, the youth training team would invite a group of young players with potential to stay with the youth training team.
On the surface, it is to allow the top players in the country to communicate and learn from each other. In fact, this kind of invitation mainly represents an honor, or a kind of affirmation.
After all, this so-called staycation only lasts for a week.
In just one week, if the training can really produce any results, it is almost as good as seeing a ghost.
Maybe for some new star players, this staycation can also play a role in broadening their horizons, but for Akashi Asuka, he had basically met all the top players he should meet in the last national competition.
As for the rest, you will always meet them in the next national competition, so there is no need to waste a week specifically on this.
Everyone: "········"
Akashi Asuka's answer left Mizoguchi Sadyuki and others speechless for a moment.
Qingcheng knows a lot about the players in the youth training. After all, they have never eaten pork, so they have to smell the aroma.
Therefore, many people also understand that the real purpose of inviting youth training teams is not for training, but to observe the future potential of these players.
But no serious person goes to youth training just to receive training!
The honor represented by this thing is far more meaningful than training, okay?
"Then... I really refused for help?"
Although they felt a little regretful, Mizoguchi Saduki and Irihata Nobuteru decided to respect Akashi Asuka's decision, but before refusing, Mizoguchi Saduki still asked reluctantly.
"Really don't think about it anymore?"
Akashi Asuka shook his head: "No, not to mention that in the next period of time, I will not have time to participate in youth training. An old classmate invited us Qingcheng to train with the professional team. I think this should be more valuable for Qingcheng.
significance."
"Huh? A professional team!"
As soon as these words came out, the attention of all Qingcheng players instantly disappeared from the invitation letter of the youth training team, and instead focused on Akashi Asuka.
"Really or not? How could a professional team take a fancy to our Qingcheng team?"
"Actually, it's not considered formal training! Because this period happens to be when the professional team is on break. My classmate's brother is a professional team player in the V2 League. He formed a training team during this period.
There happened to be a lack of suitable competition opponents, so I asked him to introduce us to Qingcheng."
The ‘old classmate’ Akashi Asuka mentioned was Oda Miki who is now in Karasuno.
Originally, Oda Miki planned to leave this training opportunity to Karasuno, if Karasuno could successfully defeat Qingcheng and enter the national competition.
But it's a pity that Karasuno was eliminated.
After Karasuno is eliminated, three third-year seniors including Daichi Sawamura, Asahi Higashimine, and Takashi Sugawara will officially retire. Without so many main players, Karasuno naturally does not have the strength to serve as a training opponent for a professional team.
What's more, Karasuno's main task in the next period of time is to speed up the training of new people and strive to train qualified successors as soon as possible.
Therefore, instead of going to the youth training training for sightseeing, Akashi Asuka feels that it is better to take this opportunity to let the team experience the atmosphere of a professional game, which can better promote overall progress.
"Wow wow wow..."
"Is it true? We really want to train with professional players."
"Well done, Akashi."
"That's great. We must win the national championship this year."
······
When Akashi Asuka gave the affirmative answer, not only the players became excited, but even Nobuteru Irihata had a rare smile on his face.
After all, there is still a long time before the spring high school national competition officially starts. If they can continue to participate in training with the professional team during this period, they will definitely be able to improve Qingcheng's strength before the competition starts.
A grade.
Oikawa Tooru is also gearing up. After all, even if it is a V2 league team, it is still a professional team competition.
Maybe Oikawa Toru will far surpass the players in the V2 League in the future, but at least in the high school stage, every professional player in the V2 League is almost equivalent to the top high school players in the country.
Everyone was cheering excitedly, but Iwaizumi Kazuo and Oikawa Toru quietly came to Akashi Asuka and whispered: "Thank you, Akashi, for letting you give up such a good opportunity to go to the youth training team for the sake of the team."
"Um... Iwaizumi-senpai, I think you may have misunderstood something? I really didn't plan to go to the youth training team's camp. After all, even if I went there, 80% of the people I would meet would be old opponents. This
No dog will do anything that means nothing."
Although he doesn't care on the surface, in his heart he still wants to go to the youth training team: "..."
