Japan vs. Greece The executioner showdown goes to Japan. “Mental Assassin” Ochi Takes Control of the Game
The “U-17 WORLD CUP” started yesterday. Japan got off to a good start with a 3-0 straight victory over their first opponent, Greece.
The first match, D2 (doubles two), was Gekkou Ochi & Shuichiro Oishi VS Thalatta Hercules & Papadopoulos Evageros. Ochi and Hercules are players with powerful serves, but Ochi’s big serve “Mach” wins this time. Furthermore, as the name of “Mental Assassin” suggests, he corners his opponent and takes control of the game. In the middle of the match, Oishi was injured by a direct ball hit but managed to win 7-5.
Next, the second match’s D1 (double swan) was Atsukyo Tohno & Akaya Kirihara VS Apollon Stephanopoulos & Orion Stephanopoulos. Tohno and the Stephanopoulos brothers are both players who specialize in the “execution method” that damages the opponent, and strangely enough, the executioner confrontation was realized.
The match turned into a dreadful scene in which they hit each other with “execution laws,” but Tono finished the “thirteen execution laws” against Apollo, even though he was covered in blood. In the final phase of the junior high school showdown with the high school students collapsing, Kirihara, who still had energy left, transformed into “Red Eye Mode” and overwhelmed Orion, who had lost his will to fight. The Executioner Showdown was a 6-4 victory for Japan with the devils.
The third match, S3 (singles three), was Shuji Tanegashima vs. Zeus Iliopoulos. Zeus seizes control of the match with divine game-making, steals five games in a row, and corners Tanegashima. Tanegashima, driven into a corner, grabbed a racket with a plastic bottle cap and achieved a “random trajectory that even he could not comprehend” and won 7-5.
After winning the first match, Japan’s next opponent will be Australia, the host country. The country is expected to be in a challenging game after defeating the world’s second-ranked Switzerland in its first match.
Oishi’s comment: “(This victory) is thanks to Eiji and others’ support.”
Byodoin’s comment: “We won against Greece, but if we made one mistake, it would be us, Japan, who would lose.”
The U-17 World Cup will be broadcast on TV Tokyo, TV Osaka, and TV Aichi every Wednesday from August 3, 2022. On August 10, the first match between Japan and Australia, Genichiro Sanada & Seiichi Yukimura VS Jean Fitzgerald & Chris Hopman, will be broadcast.
