“What did he say?”
One of the seven people sitting in the narrow square room spoke up. It was a change of topic to a new topic after talking about various topics for more than two hours. After meeting in several months, they had a lot to talk about, but everyone seemed to understand the new issues that had been brought up.
“It could take six to ten years.”
The person who answered that question was the owner of this office that had cool air conditioning and was filled with the smell of cigarettes. He is the president of the association. 'Checkers of Thailand'
The seven people in the office of the Thai Checkers Association president were all elderly men. There was the owner of the room sitting at the head of the table next to him, the vice president of the association…
It's like a short answer that can close the issue in one sentence. Everyone was quiet. Not because we think the same way, but because we know what it should be like in the future.
“I think we should have a better way.”
And then the issue was permanently closed by the words of the person who had opened it in the first place.
'Thais are worse than before' was the headline of a newspaper two years ago when Thailand was eliminated in the first round of the 'World Checkers' competition for the second time with only one point in hand. Even though he's been involved with the sports world since childhood, he doesn't understand why journalists use the word 'waste' to refer to his own national team.
But if you don't pretend to be too innocent, it wouldn't be too surprising. Because other newspapers are not much different. And it's not just the Thai checkers industry. Other types of sports or even other industries are always ready to be bad or bad for Thai people if they do something wrong.
But the truth isn't that cruel. If you work hard, everyone will be ready to give you encouragement...they say so.
For the sport of checkers Thailand used to be at the top of the world, having risen to the highest point many times. But four years later Our country has fallen back to a point of decline that has never been seen in history.
World Checkers holds tournaments every two years. After Thailand was eliminated in the first round for the second time two years ago, Othan was called to take over the checkers team from the previous manager. He was only twenty years old at that time.
That's right, Othan was only twenty-two years old now. But this white hair came from his imitative behavior. Othan's father is One of the skilled 'checkers team commanders' He likes to imitate his father. Even ears that were wider than a normal person's could be imitated.
Although Othan likes to imitate his father's everything, he has his own philosophy about teamwork. Even so, he still thought that if his father were still with him today, he would always have good advice to give.
Stepping into his association two years ago was like having to start from scratch. From finding a team to work with Analyzing the last two failures, it was almost impossible to re-engineer the system. But he admits that sometimes it takes some trial and error.
He asked for six years or more from the association. Othan didn't think it was too much, but he also didn't think that adults or people in Thailand would view it that way.
He and his team worked hard but knew it wasn't enough to make Thailand great again. He expects that this time we will make it through the group stage... that's it.
But that person's visit made his two years of hard work go to waste. The big soldier in the red bailey hat...Othan knew him well. This soldier was once the greatest checkers team commander in Thai history. He was Othan's father's predecessor. And in addition, this major soldier is also the father of his ex-lover.
She was a great lover but unfortunately the relationship had to end in the end. The reason... is because we are too different.
She was 35 while he was only 18.
And because of the return of that great soldier, he exiled himself from the guild. An open space with green grass might make him less distracted.
By position, he is still the manager of the team. That general was just an adviser. But in practice, Othan was an authority figure who had no right to exercise power. And it seems like the military chief has received overwhelming support from the people. It was different from him who had been looked down upon for almost two years since he came to work.
I came to work because of my father's prestige. Can't work at all? The more he said he wanted at least six years, the more he got scolded.
This great soldier returned with 'players' who had made contributions in the past. This was different from his team, which consisted of players who had been eliminated in the first round last time, mixed with some lesser-known newcomers.
This general's team can be called a 'hero' team, both the players and the commanders.
The sound of a small object hitting the grass interrupted Othan's thoughts. Even though it was only a light race, he could hear it and knew without even turning around to see what it was.
He picked it up. 'Mirinda-chan' is one of the 'characters' he used to play checkers before coming to work for the association. But to use Mirinda-chan well, you must wash it with water first every time. Otherwise, ants will grow… He accidentally picked it up and tried to play with it. Well done But it's too early for Mirinda to be a part of the national team right now.
Even though he likes to use catchphrases. "Only one cover can make it cool", whatever it is, and even if it's his beloved child, he definitely won't force him to send it onto the field in a state where it's not yet ready. But I think that if we wait no more than a few years, it will be a great player.
Perhaps Mirinda-chan suddenly dropped out of his pocket because he wanted to send a warning that he should return to the guild after being absent for nearly two months.
Next week the world checkers tournament will begin. It was still his duty to return to being the team's manager. Even if he doesn't go back now, for another two days or more, the association will probably take him back anyway… Even before that, they had no idea where he had disappeared to.
In the first match of the group stage, the Heroes team successfully brought joy to the Thai fans by winning overwhelmingly against the opposing team. Many media outlets are starting to promote the trend that we will be great again with just one match. Even though Othan is the leader of the team, he has no duty other than standing on the sidelines waiting to listen to orders from his advisor. But he knew enough that Thai people would soon have their dreams shattered.
The hero team is really good. They are really old, but they have problems with their bodies starting to deteriorate with age and not training their bodies properly and adequately. For example, in the next match, there are two players who definitely won't be able to play. The major general was quite stressed as he had not prepared any training for the reserve.
This caused the need to bring in the selected substitutes without expecting that they would be used on the field.
In the second round, they won narrowly with a very messy playing system. Another three players are injured and are expected to not recover in time for the next match. The two damaged ones from the previous match still show no signs of being cured in time, even though the association has treated them with new technology that they think is the best in the world.
The third match was a mixed team of three hero players and five substitutes. They don't play well together. The general himself was unable to solve any games. Even though he had been a clever guard in the past, But it cannot be used in modern checkers, which has developed to the next level. The truth is not that old things are bad, but that they have not been refined to be usable.
This time they lost thoroughly. And the three heroes seemed unable to resist their bodies and went to sleep with their five friends soaked in rice porridge, who showed no signs of recovering.
When there are no more heroes The Thai Checkers team lost the remaining three matches and were eliminated from the group stage for the third time, giving reporters a lot of fun to write about.
Even though the competition was over, the heroes showed no signs of recovering from their illnesses. Othan walked in to visit them for the first time. Right now in the patient room were the general and the president of the association and two old people he didn't know. The four men turned towards him. But only the association president greeted him and looked at him with friendly eyes.
“What did you bring with you, Othan?”
"Tiffee can relieve nasal congestion from colds."
It wasn't just the president of the Checkers Association of Thailand who looked surprised, the other three even acted like they were weird.
“No matter how much you try to use modern technology to cure it, it won't cure you, right? Ancient things need to be treated with traditional medicine to be compatible.” After saying that, he placed the tiffy box on the table. The old people in the room followed along with tight expressions, except for the association president who had a slight smile on his lips. He followed Othan out of the room.
“How was your work in the first two years?”
“And what is your opinion?”
“Well, it's considered good. This time we got two points, one more than last time. You asked me for six years, right?”
"yes"
“So that means there are still four years left.”
“You know that it is impossible. That big soldier wearing a red bailey hat came in and changed things. In two months, he made what I had slowly built up over two years disappear before my eyes. If I continue with the team, maybe I will need at least another eight to 10 years.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes, but there might be a better way. That is, you may need to find a new team leader. But I can't answer whether it's actually better or not.”
It's over. It's over.
