First of all, the Kanto domination! ~ Neymar Jr. Five 2018 Road to the World 1 ~

The best 16 at the last year's world convention. This year again challenge began with the word "aim for the world 1!" As a watchword. Before the world, I first need to be ranked first in Japan and qualify for a world convention. Firstly he won the Kanto qualifying held in Saitama.

「最高に嬉しいしホッとしたけど、最高に悔しい」 

Personally I had such a complicated comment after finishing the Kanto qualifying of the Neymar Junior Five 2018.
 
Let's look back on this day.
 
「KING GEARから参加する3チーム全てが決勝戦に残る!」を目標に北与野にあるラダースポーツに集まった。 

Men's 32 teams, 12 teams gathered in the girls newly established this year. It is the men 's team, the girls' 2 teams and the narrow gate that we advance to the national tournament.

When I arrived at the hall, I was surprised that there was that "walled court" that I fought in Brazil. It was not a domestic qualifying last year.
 
There is a court surrounded by a wall, the other three sides are coats without walls made by making use of the futsal court.

 壁に囲まれたコートでの経験がある我々は有利だが、壁を見る度にどうしてもコソボに力負けしたあの光景が頭によぎる。
 
KING GEAR FCは昨年の国内チャンピオンということで、対戦相手からは警戒されて守り重視の戦術で来られる可能性が高いと想定していた。

想定通り、守り重視のチームに苦戦した試合もいくつかあったが、KING GEAR FCとKING GEAR FC Jrsは共に決勝戦に進出!

It is the best result as a human of KING GEAR. However, there is only one chair in the national convention. I can not lose as a player!

 Because he himself participated in KING GEAR FC Jrs, carefully planning a strategy with Jrs players.

Even though both teams confront with each other, both teams were fired up.

But my final game ended in 29 seconds.

Thumb 8dd6f014 5a49 4eb8 9956 c9706544441b

KING GEAR FC precedes for the first 29 seconds! As you know, it's a rule that one person is missing when I score down, so I will pass through the Jrs team.

KING GEAR FC wins victory with 0-5 at best taking advantage of the numerical advantage!

For KING GEAR FC Jrs it is a terrible disappointing ending.

How was the result of the girls team KING GEAR FC Queens?

It was a result that we could not break through the preliminary round with regrettable goal difference. As Queens was not practicing, I realized again that it is not that sweet.

However, it was a content with expectation that it would be able to win if I strengthened cooperation firmly with practice.

In the men's department, it is wonderful that KING GEAR made a one-time finish. We will continue to compete within the team for the national tournament.

And the last time there is a fight of KING GEAR FC.

That's NUMERALS CUP!

We have members of KING GEAR FC since last yearMr. NUMERALS has received support for moving clothes.

And it is also a player of NUMERALS FC.

Why do not we challenge NUMERALS FC?

Thumb f8c9a03d 8832 4d49 9dfd ccde9d48afff

The prize is amazing for this competition, and we will give uniform Tee to participating teams!

And if we win NUMERALS FC give a special uniform!

To the winning team is to provide costumes for team members NUMERALS!

Request a challenger!
