Ao Ashi Chapter 328 Recap

The story of chapter 328 starts with an introduction of a new character `Saejima Hokuto.’ While Tatsuya and Shun were having coffee at Noriko’s restaurant, they started a conversation about Saejima Hokuto. According to Fukuda, Saejima was an ace of Aomori Seiran, the same age as him.

Both Saejima and Fukuda played against each other many times in the national tournament. The reason Fukuda couldn’t conquer the nationals was that Saejima was standing in his way. Saejima was recruited to J Youth in his second year and went pro at the age of 18. But he only played for one year in the J league as he desired to go abroad. When he was 19, he received an offer from a club in Europe. But things didn’t go smoothly for him there.

After four years, when both were 23 years old, they reunited in Europe. At that time, Saejima was struggling in Spain’s 3rd division. The story changed to their past when they both reunited. Fukuda, Hana, and Morino were at a restaurant when he reunited with Saejima.

Morino shared his experience of playing in Spain, and he stated that when the team doesn’t perform well, the first person the coach looks to the bench is an Asian. He also mentioned that being benched in Spain is 100 times more depressing compared to being benched in Japan.

Saejime continued the conversation by saying Fukuda is already 23, all because he wasted his time in the J league; he should have come sooner to Spain. He further said that the sight of kids playing Football is something you will never see in Japan. Being born in Japan is just bad luck. Morino kind of agreed with Saejime. Morino said that the thing that made him move was Spain’s development and Money.

Hana was also telling the story about Saejime to Ashito, and she told Ashito that in Spain, kids don’t have to pay anything to play Football, and all their expenditures are taken care of by their club. When Ashito’s mother overheard this from Tatsuya and Shun’s conversation, she was shocked, as she had to pay everything like tuition, tournament, clothes and etc. fees for both Ashito and Shun.

According to Hana, Morino said in Europe, youth development is an Investment. By raising an excellent player, the cost of development of the player turns into profit for the club. In Spain, a kid’s talent can never be overlooked for some financial reason. Saejime agreed by saying that would be impossible in Japan.
