The Fairy Tale

In the morning this case was reported by the big media. It turned out that the person Wright-Phillips beat was Vas Reckotte, son of Jim Reckotte, a well-known local businessman. For last night's incident, Vas sued Wright-Phillips and several Southampton players involved, this case is likely to be a serious case that will be handled by the police.

Kazuki himself was sure that this case would not end in imprisonment, because even though it was Wright-Phillips who started the fight first, it was Vas's friends who made the fight turn between individuals to between groups.

Southampton as the club that handles the players, held a press conference the next day. They firmly said, "We will follow the legal procedures that take place if our players are found guilty. We will punish them immediately."

The punishment of course is a pay cut and the like.

In addition, the daily training was canceled for one day due to the incident. Among the players involved in the case, some were mainstay players. They were Hilton, Benson, Rudolf, Wright-Phillips, and Kounde. Kazuki himself had told Shiraishi to clarify his non-involvement in the beating incident. The police only called Kazuki once to make a witness statement before it was decided that Kazuki had nothing to do with the beating incident.

In the 28th round of the Premier League, Southampton who visited the Etihad Stadium were massacred 5-0 by Manchester City. The goals were scored by Aguero who did a hat trick, David Silva and Bellotti.

Half of Southampton's players in this match were substitutes. In addition, the Southampton players also did not play as usual. Simone often makes mistakes. Crage is barely 'lost' during the game. Dean Smith made minor mistakes from time to time. Even though Kazuki played optimally, it was difficult to turn things around with Southampton who were in this state.

George scolded the Southampton players but his anger did not change the team's situation. The thing that disappointed Kazuki was the Southampton captain, Simone, He didn't say the things he should have said as a captain. When the team is down, he should get up and wake up his teammates.

Kazuki's defeat this time was the biggest loss since Kazuki had [Dream Training]. On the other hand, Kazuki was disappointed in himself for being unable to do anything in the match this time.

The media reported the results of the Southampton match with various responses.

The Independent: Will this be the beginning of Southampton's downfall?

The Sun: Kazuki's magic has been lost! These are 5 reasons why Kazuki won't shine anymore.

The Guardian: Aguero Hattrick! Manchester City demolished Southampton with 5 goals at the Etihad Stadium.

Southampton Daily: It's not the end, we will come back! Here's George's response to Southampton's painful defeat.

Southampton's previous game made people think Southampton had come back but that thought was lost after seeing the Manchester City massacre at the Etihad Stadium. They thought that maybe Chelsea was too weak for Southampton to get a draw. After all, the other Big Six like Tottenham and The Cityzen managed to beat Southampton without difficulty.

Meanwhile, Kazuki was venting his frustration at [Dream Training]. He re-simulated the match several times. Out of 10 matches, he won 3 matches against Manchester City and drew 1 time. Southampton's performance in the simulation is better because according to the data taken [Dream Training], Southampton's ability should be more than what was shown in the match against Manchester City.

However, what was wrong with the Southampton players in that match was mental. For now [Dream Training] can't simulate mental exhaustion and other obscure things.

After training hard, Kazuki asked the GM, "Don't you have anything that can make my mood better? From this match, I know that mood, thoughts, etc. are very important to perform perfectly. To display all my strength I need a stable mentality."

The GM was silent for a while, after breathing a sigh, he opened his mouth and replied, "Coincidentally, Dream Training has a new model. This mode is called [Watch], in this mode you can see some historical matches, important events in the history of football, the history of a team, player biography and so on."

"Does that include the parallel world that Lewandowski is in?" asked Kazuki.

GM nodded, he added, "Right, including the history of football in that parallel world. Now, I think one of the most appropriate for you to watch is this one, A beautiful fairy tale in modern football."

Kazuki frowned, "Fairy tales?"

With a grin, the GM said, "This is Leicester fairy tale."

Kazuki's vision became blurry, he saw a feeling like watching a 3D video.

When the 2015-2016 season started, Leicester was not the favorite team. In the previous season, Leicester was almost relegated to the Championship division.

In fact, the betting market at that time gave Leicester 5000:1 odds or opportunities to win the 2015-2016 Premier League.

It all started with the arrival of Claudio Ranieri at the start of the 2015-2016 season.

Not only because of Ranieri, however, The Fox themselves also have the basis for winning the championship.

The first is Steve Walsh, the assistant who is observant, has six senses, and has a solid ground network. He is a reliable recruiter in the search for cheap and talented young players, including N'Golo Kante for only 5.6 million pounds, then Riyad Mahrez for 450,000 pounds who had the Marseille boss chuckle when Leicester signed him.

Second is excellent training facilities and adequate facilities for young talent to build a strong team.

With all these foundations, Ranieri built a tactical system that was able to take advantage of all the benefits of Leicester players.

Leicester started the season with a victory. They were unbeaten for several matches. Before finally, they lost to Arsenal in the 7th round with a score of 2-5. People think Leicester will go downhill after this defeat.

But after that Leicester went back unbeaten in 10 games before finally losing in the 18th round to Liverpool at Anfield. In the first half-season, Leicester showed their strength. Again, many people think Leicester will collapse in the second half of the 2015/2016 season. Leicester's loss to Arsenal for the second time has made people believe in their thought.

But after that Leicester earned again an unbeaten result until Tottenham was held to a draw by Chelsea 2-2. Two games before the end of the season, Leicester finally won the English Premier League season 2015/2016.

In a league that the big teams have won for decades, Leicester has managed to create a fairy tale.

This is Leicester's fairy tale.

Kazuki felt a deep emotion. He saw highlights of Leicester's matches one by one. He also looked at people's comments from the start of Leicester's season. They doubted Leicester, thinking Leicester was a relegation candidate rather than a title contender. This doubt continued until Leicester lifted the English league cup. After that, all those doubts turned into disbelief looking.

There is a lot of luck in this fairy tale.

But at least this made Kazuki realize one thing. Small teams may also win. The odds of winning may only be 1 out of 5000, but as long as there is a chance then anything is possible.

Kazuki remembered about Southampton. A thought crossed his mind.

"I want to win the premier league next season."

Sparks arose within Kazuki's heart.
