Chapter 496: Conspiracies and plots, uneasy opponents
No one was surprised by this.
Almost in the next second, he looked at Andy Dennis again, his eyes full of anticipation, as if waiting for more shocking news.
They know that what comes before is just an appetizer and the really important things are yet to come.
"What follows is information that many people don't know."
Andy Dennis took a deep breath, as if to cheer himself up.
"That is Beichuan's true battle record."
His voice rose slightly, as if to attract everyone's attention.
"The Neon U-17 training camp was successfully challenged by a single person, Kitagawa. Let me be clear here: this challenge was aimed at high school players!"
Upon hearing the news, everyone's faces showed shock, and some team members even opened their mouths unconsciously.
It is simply a fantasy that a first-year junior high school student can single-handedly challenge a U-17 training camp composed of high school players.
They looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes, as if trying to confirm that they had not heard wrongly.
"The samurai Echizen Nanjiro's stepson Echizen Ryuga fought him and never defeated him."
Andy Dennis continued, each word coming like a bombshell.
"Rumor has it that he once fought against Echizen Nanjiro, but the outcome is unknown."
"Alexander Amadeus, the former head coach of the Swiss U-17 training camp, was directly defeated."
Andy Dennis's last words instantly caused an uproar in the entire conference room.
"How can this be?!"
"A first-year junior high school student!"
"If professional-level standards are outrageous enough."
"You're still playing the pig and eating the tiger."
The British U-17 team was almost going crazy.
Everyone was filled with shock and solemnity, their eyes filled with disbelief.
You have to know that in order to reach their current level of strength, they have been training hard day and night for many years, and they have shed countless sweat and tears.
They fell and got up countless times on the training ground, and experienced countless failures and setbacks in the competition before they got to where they are today.
However, the other party seemed to be born with it, and naturally reached a height that they could not reach even if they tried their best.
This huge sense of gap made them feel unwilling and confused.
At this moment, the entire conference room was filled with uproar, with all kinds of exclamations and discussions intertwined together, as if they were about to blow the roof of the conference room off.
The team members were whispering to each other, with complicated and excited expressions on their faces.
Some slammed the table angrily, while others sat there with a confused look on their faces.
"Quiet!"
Jack Ferdinand frowned and looked at everyone, then roared angrily. His voice was as loud as a bell, which directly suppressed the noisy sound.
Suddenly, the entire conference room returned to silence again, so quiet that one could even hear everyone's heartbeat.
There was a kind of majesty in his eyes, which made everyone afraid to speak.
"No matter what state Beichuan's strength is in."
Jack Ferdinand's low voice gradually sounded, and his eyes revealed a firmness and determination.
"I'll be the one to handle it in the end."
He paused slightly, his eyes scanning every player present.
"As for Alexander Amadeus and Kularaga Tasta, they will be dealt with by the core members of the team."
"So, what are you guys so anxious about?"
Jack Ferdinand's tone became stern, and his eyes were like two sharp blades, piercing straight into everyone.
"Have you forgotten why we are sitting here?"
"The U-17 World Cup is a team event."
Jack Ferdinand's voice rang out again, and his words struck everyone's heart like a hammer.
"It's impossible for all the players on the Swiss U-17 national team to have the same ability as Kitagawa."
"Also, don't forget what I said before."
The corners of Jack Ferdinand's mouth rose slightly, revealing a barely perceptible sneer.
"Clark has already agreed to cooperate with us. Therefore, there's no way we'll actually meet the full Swiss U-17 team."
Jack Ferdinand looked at everyone with cold eyes, and his tone became a little heavier.
"As for the selection of core players, we still need to be serious about it. The Swiss U-17 team was already ranked second in the world rankings even before these junior high school students joined. So, even if we tamper with them, we still have to face some of these strong opponents."
When he said this, Jack Ferdinand sighed lightly.
Although he is not willing to do such a thing, if the British U-17 team cannot even enter the U-17 World Cup finals, the result will only make the situation of the British U-17 training camp, which is already facing internal and external troubles, even worse.
He is well aware of the difficulties currently faced by the British tennis community, including funding shortages and talent loss. For them, this match is not just a sports competition, but also an opportunity to save British tennis.
"team leader!"
At this time, a teenager stood up and volunteered.
His face was filled with excitement, as if a grand carnival was about to begin.
"Leave Kulalaga Tasta to me."
He paused slightly, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
"As for Alexander Amadeus, Captain, you need to consider exchanging the weak for the strong."
This person is Clara Patrick, the No. 2 in the British U-17 national team.
He has a slender figure, slightly curly brown hair, and a look of unyielding determination in his eyes.
He has always been eager to prove himself in the competition. This time, facing a strong opponent, he was not afraid but full of fighting spirit.
"You?"
Jack Ferdinand looked at the other person for a few seconds, and finally nodded calmly.
A complex emotion flashed in his eyes, a mixture of recognition and worry. He recognized Clara Patrick's courage and strength, but was also worried that he would suffer setbacks when facing a powerful opponent.
Seeing this, Clara Patrick immediately showed an excited expression.
Kularaga Tasta, one of the four players from the Swiss U-17 World Cup, might not be particularly well-known, but if he could defeat them, he would definitely become famous.
He seemed to have already seen himself standing on the podium and receiving cheers from the crowd.
Of course, he was the only one who was so optimistic.
Andy Dennis on the side sighed inwardly, his eyes full of worry, as if he had already seen the difficulties of the future competition.
He is well aware of the strength of Kitagawa and the Swiss U-17 team, and this game will be an extremely difficult challenge for the British team.
In fact, he was not the only one who thought so.
The same is true for the rest of the England U-17 squad.
They even knew in their hearts that the situation was far from as simple as it seemed.
