Prince of Tennis: A tennis legend that started from signing in

Chapter 491: Changes in World Youth Tennis: The Amazing Ones Will Eventually Shine

Edgar Delacroix couldn't help laughing.

There was a look of disdain on his face.

"Atobe, are you sure?"

"It's probably hard to find a truly talented, decent middle school player in the current Neon U-17 training camp."

"As someone with extensive experience in Japanese tennis, I think you should understand this better than us."

"Under this shortage of personnel, they are struggling to qualify under the new competition rules."

"That's as difficult as trying to create another legendary figure like the samurai Echizen Nanjiro. It's practically impossible."

As he spoke, he gestured casually in the air with the paintbrush in his hand.

There was always a mocking smile on his face.

"A gentleman should use his mouth, not his fists. Could you please stop waving your paintbrush at my face while you're talking?"

"I'm not a puppet for you to manipulate!"

Keigo Atobe's words were like a heavy hammer, causing Edgar Delacroix to pause instantly.

Edgar Delacroix sighed helplessly.

That expression seemed to tell that he had always wanted to create a unique "painting" on Keigo Atobe's face for a long time.

It’s a pity that it has never been successfully achieved.

"Don't forget it."

Atobe Keigo folded his hands in front of his chest, held his head high, and spoke confidently.

"The Swiss U-17 team has the full support of the HERO Tennis Club."

"France U-17 has the strong support of Gilgamesh Tennis Club."

"And Neon U-17 has the strong support of the Nibelungen Tennis Club."

"Even now, there are only a limited number of elite local players in Japan."

"But with the strength and resources of the Nibelungen Tennis Club."

"I'm sure they'll find a way to recruit some middle school students who have the potential to become top professional tennis players."

"As for the high school players, have you all forgotten about Duke Watanabe, the wrecker known for his strength, who left our French side?"

"Not only him, but also the famous Tyrant Byodoin Phoenix, the powerful Oni Jujiro, and many others."

"Therefore, although on the surface it seems that the Neon U-17 team's combat effectiveness has been damaged due to our absence."

"But in reality, they are still a formidable opponent that cannot be ignored on the field."

"Of course, among all the opponents, the one that cannot be ignored is the Swiss U-17 team where Kitagawa is."

After all, Keigo Atobe once served as the captain of the Hyotei Academy tennis club and has rich leadership experience.

In addition, he came from a prominent family and received a good education and upbringing since childhood.

So at this moment, his leadership ability was naturally and fully demonstrated.

It’s just that the members of the French U-17 training camp all have very unique personalities.

It can even be said to be a bit weird, which caused his original middle school syndrome to involuntarily manifest itself at this time.

"Duke~"

Leopold Camus narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of reminiscence appeared on his face, his right hand gently rested on the tennis racket beside him, as if he was caressing a close lover, and he murmured softly.

"What a memorable compatriot!"

After saying that, he slowly raised his head and looked at Atobe Keigo with gentle eyes.

Then he raised one hand and waved it gently in the air, signaling everyone present to be quiet.

In an instant, the training ground, which was originally a little noisy, became quiet. Only the faint sound of the breeze blowing through the flags could be heard, and the whole venue was silent.

"what's next."

Leopold Camus's voice was particularly clear in the quiet environment. He straightened his back slightly and his eyes swept across everyone's faces one by one.

"I want to ask you a question."

He paused deliberately to whet everyone's appetite.

"How about taking advantage of the fact that there's no U-17 World Cup going on right now and heading to England for a seven-day trip to London?"

Then, he seemed to suddenly change the channel and the topic turned directly to going to England.

At first, everyone was a little confused, with surprise written all over their faces.

Everyone looked at each other, as if trying to figure out what the captain meant.

However, after a moment's thought, everyone realized that the next event would be the U-17 World Cup Tour between the British U-17 team and the Swiss U-17 team, and instantly understood what was going on, and acquiesced to this arrangement made by their captain.

The team members all nodded slightly and agreed to the proposal.

......

Inside the Free State U-17 training camp.

In the spacious training room, the walls are covered with posters of various tennis stars, and the floor is spotlessly clean, reflecting soft light.

Echizen Nanjiro sat casually in the first seat, his legs crossed and one hand casually placed on the armrest, looking very nonchalant.

He looked at the players and said slowly, "I'm sure you've all heard about the reports regarding the Swiss U-17 team. Since the U-17 World Cup is about to begin, why don't we have a small meeting?"

He paused, as if he suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, let me first announce the list of members of the final team of the training camp."

He cleared his throat and read aloud, "High school players: Ralph Reinhart, Dudu Obondu, Chico Balentine, Rocky Melody, Alan Hopkins, Don Pacino, Clive Miller, Gaisel Jackson."

Then, he read out the names of the junior high school players: "Junior high school players: Echizen Ryoma, Toyama Kintaro..."

After Echizen Nanjiro finished speaking, he looked at Ralph Reinhardt and nodded slightly.

Ralph Reinhardt understood and stepped forward.

"What do you think of the current Swiss U-17 national team?"

Ralph Reinhardt's voice, deep and powerful, echoed through the training room.

As soon as the voice fell, all the players looked at each other.

To be honest, the Free State U-17 ranked fifth and the Swiss U-17 ranked second.

If compared with the fourth-ranked Spanish U-17, everyone would definitely feel dissatisfied and feel that their strength is not inferior to the other side.

But for the second-ranked Swiss U-17 team, everyone has a different mentality, that is, to be on high alert and not dare to slack off at all.
