The Son of God is the Judge

Chapter 119 Marching to the Finals

The semi-finals are the same as the quarter-finals, which are divided into two days. The Japanese team will not know who their opponent is until the end of tomorrow's game.

"However, can you also guess in advance?" Ninjazu suggested.

Mitsuya shook his head: "It's very difficult. The other semi-final is between Switzerland and Spain. These two countries are old top four teams, and their strength is only between the two."

This also means that it is difficult for the data group to judge who has a greater chance of winning based on paper data alone.What's more, paper data does not represent actual performance, it can only be used as a reference.

"Neither the Swiss team nor the Spanish team is so easy to deal with." Irie reminded: "Don't take it lightly just because you defeated Germany and France. You should not forget the consequences of the last match against Switzerland, right?"

When the Swiss team was mentioned, the room fell into silence.That fiasco, even after so long, still makes people feel a little uncomfortable.That was the first time they realized the cruelty of the World Championship.

There is no fighting back.

"If we compete again now, it will definitely not be the same situation as before." Yukimura said to ease the atmosphere, "Our strength is not stagnant. And there is no restriction on repeated matches in the finals, and the coaches will definitely come out. The winning team comes."

After Yukimura spoke, the atmosphere in the room became much more relaxed.Everyone understands that the final team will only choose the strongest, and this arrangement increases the team's winning rate.

We have come to this point, no matter whether we win or lose in the final, the Japanese team has achieved the best results in recent years - this is the official view of the Tennis Association.In fact, when there is only one step away from the championship trophy, no player or coaching staff does not want to go one step further.

That is the championship trophy!What's more, the most promising defending German team has been defeated by them, and the probability of them winning the trophy is actually not too small.

Mitsuya said at the right time: "Everyone has basically seen the players of the Swiss team in the last group stage. Today, let's analyze the relatively unfamiliar Spain."

One of Liu and Qian arranged the projection, and the other distributed the existing materials.

"Generally speaking, the most noteworthy player for each team should be the player who serves as the main player, but this is not the case for the Spanish team." The first page of Mitsuya's ppt is not the current main player of the Spanish team, but a relatively unfamiliar face.

"Medanore, one of the members of the Spanish representative team. If he hadn't been injured and had to be silent for a while, his current strength should be higher than Borg."

"However, he underwent surgery last year and has returned to the team this year. Because he has not played so far, his specific strength is still unknown."

Mitsuya's introduction caused the people present to fall into silence.They have already seen Borg's strength in the warm-up match, and Medanore's strength sounds even higher than Borg's.

Tanejima sighed: "The U17 World Cup is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." Not only are there professional players, but there are also those who are stronger than professional players.

"That's what makes it challenging, isn't it?" Yukimura said.

Taneshima was taken aback, then burst out laughing.

"That's the right way to say it! You just have to have this spirit!"

The next day was the semi-final between Switzerland and Spain. Out of the mentality of observing the strength of the opponent and knowing the opponent in the final immediately, some middle school and high school students went to the scene to watch the match.

The semi-finals were evenly matched. Pete and Henry of the Swiss team who had defeated Daqu and Mushou in doubles were defeated by a pair of doubles players from Spain. This made Daqu and Mushou who came to watch the match feel complicated.

In this semi-final, the Swiss team won one doubles and one loss, and lost two games in a row in singles. Amadeus, who was sitting in the first singles, didn't even have a chance to play.

On the way back, Yukimura was still thinking about the game just now.

"It seems that our opponent tomorrow is the Spanish team. However, it seems that Medanore did not play? The captain of Spain who played in singles just now?"

Liu thought about it for a while, and confirmed Yukimura's thoughts: "That's right, Medanore didn't play—he was singles."

Yukimura touched his chin and thought: "So, he must have recovered."

A truth that couldn't be more simple, the strongest person sits in the singles.As I said before, Medanore temporarily retired due to injury and only returned to the team this year after undergoing surgery.But in the semi-finals, Medanore was able to overwhelm the captain and become the singles one, which shows that his strength may have returned to its peak.

Sanada, who was walking beside Yukimura, quickly understood what Fa Xiao meant.

"Tomorrow, it will be a hard battle."

Not only junior high school students think this way, after seeing the current strength of the Spanish team, even high school students can't help but feel the pressure.

The Spanish team, which has returned to the peak of its strength, will be the strong opponent of the Japanese team to win the championship!

"Tomorrow's game, the leader will be singles one, right? Then the other singles candidates..." Watanabe asked.

His idea is not wrong. As the leader of high school students, Byodoin has always played singles in this U17 World Cup. In terms of strength alone, in order to ensure victory in the final, it is best for Byodoin to stay in singles. decision.

But what Watanabe didn't expect was that Byodoin shook his head: "It doesn't have to be me in singles, you forgot that there is another guy in the team who hasn't played all the time."

"Boss is saying, Echizen Ryuya?" Thinking of the tricks he used to defeat Kirigaya, Watanabe's expression became serious: "His tricks are very dangerous."

With the ability to devour other people's moves, Echizen Ryuya is very dangerous.Kiritani lost his original trick after a fight with him, and it was not until Echizen Ryuya went to the World Cup with the team that he gradually recovered.But even if he regained his former trick, Kiritani was unwilling to be in the same space as Echizen Ryuya again.

This is why he firmly refused to join the team as a substitute.

"Tomorrow's game, he might surprise everyone." Byodoin laughed.

The one who bears the brunt of the impact is definitely Echizen Ryoma, who believes that Echizen Ryuya has "pure nature but full of evil taste".

Pure nature has nothing to do with that guy.

On the other side, in the hotel room.

Coach Sanchuan looked at the blank schedule on the low table and felt a headache in his forehead.

The Spanish team is a strong opponent, and Medanore has to use the strongest person in the team to deal with it.

but……

Coach Sanchuan looked at the names drawn on the draft and got into a tangle.

Medanore will undoubtedly be the singles one of tomorrow's game. The guy is trying to use the World Cup game to announce his return to the tennis world.So, should Byodoin Phoenix play singles, or Echizen Ryuya is more suitable?

There is also the captain of the Spanish team who will play in the second singles, who is more suitable?

Not only singles candidates need to be considered, but also doubles candidates must be carefully considered.

The combinations that have already been played must have been thoroughly studied, so these combinations are completely unusable.

It's like Duke and Nioh, although they cooperate well and the effect is good, but in the finals, the two of them must never be able to partner again.

Doubles... Coach Mifune thought about it and selected Nioh. This middle school student's move is the most suitable for doubles. Find someone who can cooperate with him and you can give him a surprise.So why not try something new?Remembering that Nioh and Yukimura had been experimenting with phantom high school students before, Coach Mifune wrote Echizen Ryoma's name on it.For the other pair, it would be Irie and Tokugawa. If the partner is Tokugawa, Irie will not keep the hole card.

After the players for the doubles were selected, coach Mifune struck while the iron was hot and decided on the players for the singles.

Yukimura's singles three was the first to be decided. There is no doubt that this junior high school leader deserves a singles position.The Spanish team's singles two should be their captain, so Byodoin should also go to the singles two. That guy is capable, and it will not be a problem to beat the captain of the Spanish team.

As for the singles match... Coach Mifune's eyes sank, and Echizen Ryuya's "swallowing" against Medanore might have a miraculous effect.

The list for the match against Spain, as before, was announced on the way to the venue.

The three spots in the singles aren't too controversial, but...

"Nioh and Echizen play doubles?"

Fuji and Liu opened their eyes in fright.

Even Byodoin looked at the coach in surprise.

Echizen Ryuya, who was placed in the singles first position, directly raised his hand.

"Coach, can I switch positions? I'd rather play doubles with Ryoma—"

The high school student with dark green hair sighed, he really wanted to play with his younger brother.

Coach Sanchuan narrowed his eyes and said decisively, "No, dismiss it."

Echizen Ryuya looked at Ryoma regretfully, and let out a long sigh.

Nioh glanced back and forth between Echizen Ryuya, who was clearly depressed, and Echizen Ryoma, who was relieved, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

I have an idea puri~

The venue for the World Cup final is different from before. The venue for the final is set in the venue of the Australian Open. I don’t know how the Australian officials negotiated.

Yukimura was satisfied with this.Think of it as a taste of the professional field in advance.

The final is still a best-of-three rounds, alternating singles and doubles, so the first player to play is Yukimura, who is the third in singles.

His opponent is a person who does not have a high sense of presence in the Spanish team-after all, most people's attention is on the captain and Medanore.

But that doesn't mean it's an easy opponent.This is the man who defeated the singles player of the Swiss team.

Yukimura raised his vigilance and silently released his mental power the moment he stepped on the court.

In the final, the racket guessing method was used to determine the ownership of the opening serve.The referee spun the racket after inquiring about the choices of both sides, and the racket fell to the ground after a few rounds.

After seeing the result, Yukimura hooked the corners of his lips.

It seems that his luck is not bad, the right to serve is his.
