Chapter 486: Undercurrents, Malicious Rivals, and Attention from Germany
Previously.
In order to promote the development of youth tennis, the British royal family specially invited middle school players from many countries to participate in the youth tennis competition.
However, due to the frequent disruptions organized by Clark, the activities were seriously disrupted.
In addition, in the original work, people like Keigo Atobe, Kunimitsu Tezuka, Ryoma Echizen, Seiichi Yukimura, Genichirō Sanada, etc., who were supposed to be invited to participate in the competition after the end of the Neon National Competition, went their separate ways for various reasons and failed to come as planned, resulting in the Clark Organization not being smoothly resolved as in the original work.
As time goes by, this once troublesome organization has now become a hidden card in the hands of the British U-17 team.
"In addition, we also need to learn from them the techniques of using Real Tennis, as well as unique qigong-like moves."
Jack Ferdinand took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and continued speaking seriously.
"Don't feel ashamed of doing this. Tennis, in its essence, is a fierce battle without gun smoke from beginning to end, whether it's preparation off the court or competition on the court."
"Moreover, the British team is not the only one that has to resort to extraordinary measures to achieve victory."
"Speaking of which, the situation in Germany is even more serious."
"Thinking back to when we went to Germany to compete, we all knew how many shady tricks their U-17 supporters played behind the scenes."
"So, let's put aside those unrealistic moral baggage. In this cruel competitive arena, victory is our primary goal."
His eyes were firm and sharp, revealing unquestionable majesty, as if conveying a belief to the team members: for the honor of the team, they must put aside all distractions and go all out at this moment.
These words were like a heavy hammer, waking up the team members who were immersed in hesitation and confusion.
Everyone lowered their heads and fell silent.
They knew in their hearts that everything the captain said made sense. In this world of sports competition where the strong prey on the weak, sometimes in order to achieve the goal, one has to make some difficult decisions, even if these decisions go against one's original principles.
Meanwhile, in far-off Germanic Berlin.
There is also a tense and mysterious atmosphere in the German U-17 training camp.
"Haha~"
An old man wearing a hat and leaning on a cane walked slowly to the side of German U-17 training camp tennis coach Can Retru, with a meaningful smile on his face, and asked.
"Reitman, how are those two Neon boys doing lately?"
This person is Sigmund Pubke, who is quite prestigious in the field of talent discovery.
"It can be said that he has been reborn, with earth-shaking changes!"
As soon as Kan Retru mentioned the two Japanese boys, his face was filled with excitement and his eyes were shining with excitement.
"The most surprising thing is that they and Polk have developed a wonderful resonance, as if it was destined. This is really a pleasant surprise!"
As he spoke, he nodded vigorously, as if to emphasize the significance of this discovery, and his excited expression was as if he had discovered a rare treasure.
"Just by listening to your few words, I can already feel the amazingness of it."
Sigmund Pubke nodded slightly, a look of approval on his face, but then he changed the subject.
"It's a pity that we were still a step slow in reacting. Also, although they are excellent, they are not perfect."
There was a hint of regret in his tone, as if he was regretting not discovering and cultivating these two young men earlier.
"Have you heard the news, too?"
When Kan Retru heard what Sigmund Pubke said, he immediately understood and reacted quickly, continuing what the other party was saying.
"Although I don't know who did this, to be honest, if I were given another chance, I would definitely recruit that little guy to Germany's side."
"It's no exaggeration to say that he has the potential to become a leader of an era. Given time, he will surely create a huge wave in the tennis world."
His words were full of regret and reluctance, which was a deep regret for missing out on a talented player.
"It's a pity, but it's almost impossible to achieve."
Sigmund Pubke shook his head slightly, a helpless look on his face.
"After all, this little guy named Beichuan is the heir to the HERO Tennis Club, and the HERO Tennis Club is headquartered in Switzerland. It would be too difficult for us Germans to intervene."
"As for why there was no news about him before, but now it's all over the place, I think there must be someone behind this deliberately building up momentum for him."
"In fact, what we know so far is probably just the tip of the iceberg of his strength."
"In my opinion, the British U-17 team will most likely lose this time and miss the finals."
"From now on, you must be extra careful with Kitagawa and his Swiss U-17 team. They will be our strong opponents in the future."
His voice was low and powerful, and every word seemed to carry a warning.
When Kan Retru heard this, he was slightly stunned and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
He was well aware of Sigmund Pubke's arrogance and conceit. In their previous communications, Pubke was always confident in his own judgment and vision, and rarely praised others easily.
But now, such a proud man actually solemnly acknowledged Beichuan's strength and said these words in front of him. This shocked Kan Retru very much, and he couldn't help but feel curious and vigilant about Beichuan, the strange boy.
"To be honest, I have always been a staunch materialist, but now, I suddenly doubt my beliefs."
Sigmund Pubke smiled meaningfully, his expression unreadable.
"This Beichuan seems to possess an extraordinary power that forces us to re-evaluate our own perceptions."
The reason why he reminded Kan Retru so early was mainly because he always had an ominous premonition in his heart, as if a huge storm was about to come, and Beichuan was the center of this storm.
"I understand!"
Kan Retru immediately understood the implication of Sigmund Pubke's words and nodded seriously, indicating that he had taken the warning to heart.
Afterwards, the two stopped talking and fell into deep thought.
Just as Sigmund Pubke turned around to open the door and leave, he suddenly stopped, turned around and said.
"Oh yes! If conditions permit, I hope the German U-17 team can go to the UK to watch this tour."
“This is not only a chance to get to know your opponent, but also a chance to learn and grow.”
After saying this, he turned and left, leaving Kan Retru standing there alone, lost in deep thought.
