Team A, to which Hoyoung belongs, came out with a 4-3-1-2 formation as instructed by the coach.
There was an order from Carlos to launch an active offensive.
That was the reason why Hoyoung, who was placed in the attacking midfielder, attempted to break through at the same time as the kickoff.
"!"
A very surprise move to invade an empty house.
As soon as the shooting angle was opened, he hit a mid-range shot and the goal net shook.
Slosh!
It was a fantastic play that shocked the viewers.
The same was true for the players and coaches who were watching.
"You're crazy."
"Is this really a proper product?"
It was Hoyoung who overpowered Giseon with a strong first impression.
However, Team B's counterattack was not easy.
If Team A had Hoyoung, Team B had the U15 ace.
The boy was born in 1991 and was an outstanding prospect who would later be called one of Brazil's top three prospects along with Neymar Lucas Moura.
His position is an attacking midfielder, similar to a shadow striker.
Although he was not a technician who could advance to the first line or show excellent ball distribution while holding the ball himself, he was a player who knew how to control the game to his advantage with his excellent soccer intelligence.
'I'll follow up with one goal right away.'
The boy was conscious of Hoyoung.
He was always confident and took pride in his play, so he didn't want to lose to anyone.
Especially for an Asian boy who just skipped a grade.
And that was right then.
"Give it to me!"
Oscar, who found space with a clever move, received the pass.
Immediately after, he attempted to penetrate the front line with a simple touch of the ball.
It was the style of play he enjoyed the most and the attack route he was most confident in.
But his intentions didn't work.
Tuk.
"this…!"
Just before passing, a player stuck to him from behind.
That's Woo Ho-young.
'What kind of pressure…!'
The angle of the foot at which you are trying to block the pass.
A movement to steal the ball.
Hoyoung's defensive skills were so excellent that one might think he was an attacking midfielder.
The boy felt like he was competing for the ball with a decent defensive midfielder.
'It's no longer possible.'
And I knew.
The fact that he couldn't escape Hoyoung's pressure.
The fact that if you keep the ball like this, you will lose it.
Therefore, whether the ball was passed or handed over, it had to be done quickly.
but.
"Ugh!"
For that to happen, the body's balance has already collapsed.
Hoyoung's strong physical strength made it impossible for the boy to move.
In the meantime, team A's backup players ran over and snatched the boy's ball.
"Ugh!"
The boy was angry.
And I was embarrassed.
This was because Hoyoung, who was shorter than him, had ridiculously good physical strength.
The flow of attack was interrupted by one mistake.
Moreover, the matter did not end there.
Hoyoung's ball cutting led to Team A's counterattack.
'Could it be that you were giving me space on purpose? 'To counterattack?'
It was then.
"Give it and run!"
Hoyoung received the ball in midfield and started running.
Oscar, who was watching this from behind, got goosebumps all over his body.
An indescribable aura flowed from the back of Hoyoung, who was running like a bull.
It didn't end there.
Hoyoung covered a distance of 50 meters in an instant and threw a space pass to Douglas at the front line.
If the dribbling speed is that fast, the pass is usually dropped, but there was no such thing.
Hoyoung also showed a knack for distributing the ball and showed off quite stable and skillful passes.
'What can't you do?…'
A type of player I've never experienced before.
I felt a vague sense of distance from Hoyoung.
And then Douglas, who received a stable pass, showed a clear finish.
It was Team A's second goal that would have left Oscar frustrated, and it was a fantastic result created by Hoyoung's perfect playmaking.
"Shit."
On the other hand, the boy couldn't do anything.
There was no performance that made his title as the U15's ace worthless.
Moreover, once he started to stop, he had a strong tendency to keep stopping, so he was unable to get out of the quagmire of Hoyoung.
I was in pain the whole time I was catching the ball.
'How far does this crazy person cover?'
Woo Ho-young.
He was dominating the midfield, moving between the second and third lines.
His offensive ability as well as his defensive ability were outstanding.
In addition, he was able to gain air supremacy in the midfield with his decent heading skills.
There was no greedy person like that.
Versatile.
Those were the only words that came to mind.
The boy who had been confident until a moment ago was nowhere to be found.
'no. This… is because our team's strength is too weak…'
I can only comfort myself that much.
But five minutes later, the boy also got his chance.
He was replaced by Team A's Douglas and was appointed as an attacking midfielder, and Hoyoung was promoted to striker in his place.
We were enemies just a moment ago, but now we are in a position where we have to work together.
The boy looked at Hoyoung.
'From now on, I'll really do it properly.'
He pledged to bring back the coaches' attention that was focused on Hoyoung.
At the same time, Hoyoung was also staring at the boy.
With eyes that desperately desire something.

Oscar.
He was a player with physical and physical weaknesses.
Moreover, unlike typical Brazilians, his technical skills were not outstanding.
Instead, he had the judgment to outweigh all his shortcomings.
However, Hoyoung was not discouraged.
Although I recognized Oscar's natural talent, I felt that he was clearly superior in the previous match.
'Oscar has a lot of ups and downs.'
As far as Hoyoung knew, Oscar was a player with many problems.
What is known is that he has a good personality and is sociable, but on the other hand, he was a player who was unable to manage his mentality to the point where he got into fights in the Chinese league.
'If you intentionally cause it to make a few mistakes, it will fall apart on its own from then on.'
If there is no one on the team to take care of his mental health, Oscar is a player who cannot show even half of his skills.
The ups and downs were that severe.
However, he was a top prospect whose skills were beyond doubt.
And now Hoyoung is on the same team as him.
'Sounds fun.'
He was not at all discouraged, but rather enjoyed the moment.
Beep!
The main match started now.
That's when the forward pass went towards Oscar.
As if he had been waiting, Hoyoung took the lead and infiltrated the front left.
'Why are you going there?'
Thinking like that, Oscar turned away from Hoyoung.
Instead, he passed the ball to the right attacker.
It was a low and fast pass.
but.
Tuk!
The goalkeeper quickly came out and blocked the pass.
'… shit.'
Only then did Oscar realize.
The fact is that the ball should have been given to the left space where Hoyoung penetrated.
'weird. I clearly couldn't see the space earlier… but when did I see a space like that?'
Until then, I thought it was a coincidence.
However, a similar situation occurred 5 minutes later.
"here!"
When Oscar caught the ball, Hoyoung dug inside to find space.
Left side.
It was a gap that was invisible to others.
The talent I got from Thomas Müller.
Hoyoung's unexpected space penetration (A+) made it possible.
At the same time, Oscar was feeling it.
'There it is.'
Intuitively.
The place where Hoyoung penetrates is the path that leads to scoring.
fault!
A forward pass extended from Oscar's toes and cleverly crossed the defenders.
There was just one problem.
'shit. It's a bit long.'
Because Oscar was not talented when it came to passing, he was not able to perfectly control his passing speed.
But it was a needless worry.
"…!"
Hoyoung caught the ball that almost missed the goal line with overwhelming speed.
Then, as soon as he caught the ball, he shot a quick shot in half a beat toward the opposite goal.
Very simply.
Slosh!
Hoyoung's second goal.
It was a link-up play that everyone was impressed by.
Hoyoung's penetration ability was fantastic, and Oscar's build-up that made it possible was perfect.
However, rather than being satisfied with his own play, Oscar was impressed by Hoyoung's skills.
'crazy. It's faster than Pato, right?'
That wasn't all.
Not only do he have legs that are faster than a passer, but he also has the ability to penetrate space and has a stable shooting ability.
Hoyoung had all the necessary elements to break through.
"under."
I was truly impressed.
Where on earth did such a monster come from?
I only heard about it, but when I actually saw it, I couldn't keep my mouth shut.
"It's pretty good…. "It's pretty good…"
Oscar had no choice but to acknowledge Hoyoung's skills.
And right then.
"nice."
Hoyoung's thumb went up above his head.
At the same time, the corners of Oscar's mouth rose slightly.
The subsequent match was led by Team A, led by Oscar and Hoyoung.
Then, at some point, Oscar suddenly realized something.
From some point on, he sees himself playing according to Hoyoung's style.
It was such an amazing thing.
Until now, the game had always centered around him, but today it was the exact opposite.
It feels like I'm falling into a devilish spell.
'Not bad.'
Above all, it was because he was on a good level with Hoyoung.
Beep!
The 80-minute game, both halves, finally ended.
In the end, Hoyoung recorded 2 goals and 2 assists, and Oscar recorded 2 assists.
"Huh…"
Hoyoung sat down on the ground and caught his breath.
A sweet taste lingered on the tip of my tongue.
It was a natural result as they showed tremendous activity.
But at that time, there was a boy who approached Hoyoung.
Oscar.
"Do you want to do something?"
It was the best compliment that Oscar, with his pride, could give.
And held out his hand.
"nice to meet."
It meant that I would be recognized as a team member.
April was the busiest month of the year.
Hoyoung focused on adapting to the team colors, and as a result, he was able to work with the U15 players and explore some of their talents.
In addition, he has achieved remarkable development in talent.
And on Saturday, May 1st.
The U15 national league called 'Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A' has opened.
There are 20 teams participating in the first division, and the current defending champion is CR Flamengo.
However, this year, a close race was expected that could not be predicted even a single bit.
Sao Paulo FC is home to many promising prospects, including Oscar Casemiro Douglas and Woo Ho-young.
Santos FC recruited a top prospect named Neymar.
The two teams above have emerged as the strongest candidates for the first division.
As such, the attention of the domestic and international soccer world was quite focused, and in that respect, today's first game was very important.
The same goes for Hoyoung.
It was a game with special meaning as it was the debut match of the U15 League.
The key is how strong an impact you can leave, but what is more important is the chemistry you have with your teammates.
'The opponent is a mid-tier team. It's good.'
The first opponent was the Gremio U15 team based in Porto Alegre.
The venue for the match is Sao Paulo Municipal Stadium Arena Paulo Stadium.
It was Sao Paulo FC's home game, and Hoyoung's position was as a striker on the left.
And Oscar was going to be his backup.
Hoyoung shook his hand just before entering the stadium.
"Let's try our best."
At those words, the two soccer geniuses joined hands.
