An offer
It's the next day, (Y/N) went to the Kawasaki Frontale for a proper farewell ceremony. Karou Mitoma was also rumoured to be leaving for studying first, then football.
As he approached, (Y/N) couldn't help but feel the intense feeling of nostalgia. The stadium was filled to the brim with fans and friends alike.
And on the giant TV screen that shows the match live for viewers on the top of the stadium, there was written
'Thank you (Y/N) (L/N) for all these amazing seasons and friendship you have provided us with. Best of luck in Spain.'
(Y/N) smiled softly as he walked to the middle of the pitch, shaking hands as well as hugging his teammates and coach.
"I wasn't late, was I?" (Y/N) asked sarcastically to which the coach replied,
"Right on time, (Y/N)." He said as some personel came and put down a table covered with a cloth. The club president motioned him to stay there as he unveiled the table, showing a pair of adidas cleats.
But they weren't any ordinary cleats. These cleats were worth 5 million £ a pair, it was made in Japan with the newest technology which helps the player keep track of his own stats with the help of a chip in the boots.
To say that (Y/N) was shocked was an understatement, he was absolutely blown away, he had only ever saw this boot but never got around to buying or using them because he found it not a necessity to track down your skills every single time you touch a football.
FIFA always makes world cup cards at least so he knows his standings. Currently being 86 rated at an age of 21 years old.
"Congratulations, (Y/N) (L/N) on a successful season and career so far. We hope that you can keep on performing well for both club and country. I now hand this to you as a sign of the club's gratitude." The club president said, handing him the cleats.
"You really didn't need to do this, sir." (Y/N) protested but wasn't listened to as the club president insisted that he take the cleats.
(Y/N) just sighed and took the cleats, knowing he wouldn't win this arguement.
"Now ladies and gentlemen, now we will be playing his best plays for both club and country." The president said as the TV screen cut to the 2016 club world cup.
Flashback
It was the finals and Kawasaki Frontale were up against Real Madrid.
The score was 3-1 down for Kawasaki Frontale on the 78th minute with only Itoshi Sae managing to score and (Y/N) wasn't used as a starter due to the coach wanting to test some things out which failed miserably.
(Y/N) was just subbed in and immediately impacted the game, he received the ball and dribbles past the defence, he made an oppurtunity for himself after getting fouled by Sergio Ramos.
(Y/N) took the free kick, he stepped back a bit and started calculating how he should approach it.
He decided to knuckle ball the free kick. He approached the ball and...
BANG!
GOAL!
80' (Y/N) (L/N)
He scored an amazing goal going into the top right corner. The keeper couldn't even react in time thanks to the ball's weird movements. It was the 88th minute already. (Y/N) finally received the ball and dribbled past,
90th minute, an additional 5 minutes was added to the final time.
It was close, it was onto the last out and Marcelo had almost shot it out of play but (Y/N) had other ideas. He blocked the shot mid-air.
He scanned the area for openings and saw him
Itoshi Sae
He smirked as he through balled to Sae,
BANG!
GOAL!
90'+5' Itoshi Sae
Sae did an insane outside the box shot with an amazing spin, tieing the game on the last possible second as the refree blew the whistle.
It was amazing. 2 goals in the span of 15 minutes. It was now extra time. The score stayed 2-2 for the first half of extra time.
115'
(Y/N) dribbled the ball forwards with immense speed, he elastico nutmegged those who tried to take possession of the ball. He made it into the enemy D-box.
He was one on one with the keeper. (Y/N) suddenly flicked the ball up, but it wasn't an ordinary rainbow flick...
It was a rainbow flick kick
The keeper was caught off guard and let the ball pass.
GOAL!
120' (Y/N) (L/N)
Nobody could believe their eyes, tournament favourites Real Madrid were knocked out on the finals by Kawasaki Frontale.
The most unlikely in the viewers' eyes to win the club world cup. And it was all because of..
Him
(Y/N) (L/N). Who fell to his knees, shedding a few tears as he silently prayed that his parents were watching. He had carried the team by providing when they needed him the most.
(Y/N) then went onto win the tournament's golden ball and best young player award. While Cristiano Ronaldo was awarded the tournament golden boot.
*Flashback end*
Back at the Kawasaki Frontale stadium, the clips kept on going for awhile before finally stopping. (Y/N) was showered with farewell gifts and wishes from friends, teammates and fans.
By the end of the event,it was already 5 pm. Everybody headed home after taking some final photos.
Night had fallen and (Y/N) decided to check in on how his friend and teammate Itoshi Sae was doing, Sae didn't come to he ceremony so he wanted to see what he was doing after he reached home.
(Sae's the same age as you which is 20 in this fanfic along with the original cast being all 18 by the start of canonical Blue Lock since the goal is to win the ACTUAL world cup not the U-20 world cup. Also Sae joins Spain later than cannon)
He took out his phone and dialled up Sae's number as he laid back on his sofa.
Sae answered the phone, "What's up (Y/N) I heard of your transfer to Barça this week." Sea asked with some enthusiasm replacing his usual monotone.
"Yeah I'm getting bored playing in Japan, I want a challenge and on top of it, I get to play with THE Lionel Messi. It's quite the tempting offer. What about you and Real? I heard they've been wanting you since the 2018 world cup." (Y/N) replied while walking to the kitchen to brew some coffee.
"Well if you're going to Barça then I also want to play with you. I do have an offer from them for three million £ yearly. I think I'll go with you there since it'll be more fun playing with you rather than playing at Real." Was Sae's answer to (Y/N).
"Well negotiate the transfer quickly because I'm leaving in 2 days from now." (Y/N) said as he lazily drank the coffee, not caring that it was literally 7 30 pm.
"Anyways, why didn't you come to the ceremony today?" (Y/N) asked as he slowly chugged the coffee down his throat.
"Well I've been here in my agent's office to negotiate transfers to Barça." Sea answered.
"Alright then it's getting quite late, catch you later (Y/N)." Sea said as he hung up.
(Y/N) sighed, he had nothing productive to do so he decided to turn on the T.V.,
He switched it on and immediately was bombarded by thousands of YouTube videos sorrounding his transfer to Barça.
He shrugged it off and scrolled on to see something that intrigued him, it was a video made by the official FC Barcelona channel,
"Welcome (Y/N) (L/N)?" (Y/N) read out with curiosity.
He put the video on and was astonished, it was a series of many Barça players and staff members talking about his transfer. Some quotes were,
'He'd make an excellent teammate' from Luis Suarez
'I'd love to see him adapt to La Liga' from Andres Iniesta
And finally, 'He's a wonderful player and I'd love to play with him' from the great Lionel Messi.
(All these statements were in spanish but you're a giga chad so you know 4 languages. Ie: english, Spanish, Japanese and finally German.)
(Y/N) was absolutely mind blown at the recognition from the living legends of football.
"Am i dreaming? If so, i want to stay asleep forever. THE Lionel Messi said that. The same Messi that won 7 fucking balond"ors???"
(Y/N) slapped himself to be sure and found out very happily that he was in fact very awake and everything he just saw and heard was very real.
The video ended with an edited picture of (Y/N) wearing the Barça kit to which (Y/N) couldn't help but grin whole-heartedly.
"I'm finally on the big stage. Kaa-san, Tou-san." (Y/N) muttered to himself as he started tearing up. They were tears of joy
He went on to analyse some world-class plays and fellasleep after a good 3 hours.
*the next morning*
(Y/N) woke up quite early the next day, he got a good 8 hours of sleep after waking up at 6:00 am in the morning.
He was going to be leaving Japan tomorrow and he had some plans to visit 2 of his old friends that he had made in his high school days.
He calmly dressed himself up casually and went to a park where they were supposed to meet. His friends were around 2 years younger than him and still looking for a professional football career.
(Y/N) tried to get the two to take trials for Kawasaki Frontale but the two said they wanted to find their own road to success.
Well atleast one of them did. The other just called the whole situation 'a hassle' and lazily went back to playing games on his phone.
(Y/N) looked up and saw a giant park with a sign on the front that spelled out, 'Mikage resort' (Y/N) sighed as he looked on,
"Does Reo really have to show off his wealth all the time? But I guess I'm no one to say that though considering my entire thing of wearing my own special adidas jumper and sneakers right now as I walk." (Y/N) commentwd as he walked inside.
Inside the massive park there were many areas in which any ordinary man would be lost pretty quickly but (Y/N) knew exactly knew where to go..
'The central hall' (Y/N) thought as he walked past the empty park's garden. It was Reo's father's park so it was only natural that Reo had it reserved for the time being.
"Yo! (Y/N) how's it been?"
(Y/N) turned around and saw a man with his purple hair tied in a knot with piercing purple amethyst like eyes. "Hi Reo. It's been good, how 'bout you?" (Y/N) greeted as he hugged Reo.
"I'm doing pretty good myself. You wanted to talk about how you were leaving Japan tommorow right?" Reo replied with a smile.
"Yup, as I said the day before yesterday, tommorow I'll be leaving for Spain and who better to talk to than my childhood best friend?" (Y/N) said as he looked around.
"By the way, where's Seishirou?" He asked to the purple haired man.
"Oh he's just inside playing games on the giant screen." Reo replied casually as he motioned (Y/N) to follow him.
(Y/N) simply nodded and followed his purple haired friend. The two made their way through the hall, chatting about any and everything.
The two finally got inside as they saw a silver haired man playing with a Nintendo DS in hand and staring at the screen. He was wearing a white coat with black and white checker patterns inside. Below it, he wore the standard black T-shirt and baggy pants.
"Damn it, I died again. You're good, player5677809" he said out-loud as he decided he had enough of playing games for the day.
"Yo! Seishirou long time no see." Came the voice of (Y/N) as he walked in and sat besides the silver haired man.
"Hi (Y/N)." Was Seishirou's answer as he bumped fists with the older Ravennete.
"Now that we're here, let's get to the point of this little gathering now, shall we?" (Y/N) said as he motioned Reo to sit down.
"As both of you already know by now. I'm leaving this country tommorow and will be in Spain by 2:00 pm tommorow if things go as planned. So I am here to offer you two something.
