From that day on, Lucci busily traveled here and there, and a few days later, he went to Hoyoung's house with a bundle of documents.
"There are a total of nine teams that want to take Woo Ho-young."
"If I transfer, will it be between June and August?"
"That's right. I will officially register as a player and start playing. Of course, you will need documentation proving that the legal guardian came to Spain to do business or get a job, but you have to request this from FIFA. That's why we need some preparation time."
"How much?"
"The results will be released at the end of July, but the key is how they come out in FIFA. Otherwise, it would be a good idea to safely transfer during the winter market in December. "There is a high possibility of being called up for the U17 World Cup."
"It's December."
If you want to make an official transfer, you have to do it in the summer transfer market or winter market anyway.
In other words, will they move in August or will they move in December after the U17 World Cup raises money?
I had to decide between the two.
"Personally, I recommend the latter. There is less pressure to move quickly and there are no problems later. And if Hoyoung performs well at the U17 World Cup, I am confident that we can close a huge contract."
Lucci expressed confidence.
"A huge contract?"
"For example, David Luiz, who recently signed a professional contract, succeeded in earning a weekly wage that was 30% higher than expected. Additionally, the buyout clause was lowered to 30%. But what if Hoyoung performs well in the U-17 World Cup? Even if you dance with your pants off on the negotiating table, you will get everything you want. Do you know a Spanish player named Bojan Krkic?"
"I heard you are the number one player in Barcelona's youth team."
"you're right. Do you know how much that player's current weekly salary is? It's 3,000 euros. "That means an annual salary of 150,000 euros."
At the age of 13, his annual salary is a whopping 200 million won!
Compared to Ronaldo or Messi of the time, it was on a different level.
"As youth piracy in England has gone too far, the weekly wages of youth around the world are also leveling upward. The same goes for buyouts."
"I know what you mean. By the way."
Hoyoung answered, moving forward.
"What I want is a tutoring system for first-team players."
"Tutor?"
"yes. "It would be nice if there was an item that said students could receive systematic tutoring even if their weekly salary of 1 million won was reduced to 500,000 won."
"Actually, it's a bit difficult. Tutor is basically a training system used only by the reserve team (second team), which shares the training ground with the first team. Of course, if it is a very promising youngster, the club will try to help, but it is not easy to do so. First-team players also have their own lives."
"You think it's impossible?"
"haha. After all, wouldn't it be easier than picking stars in the sky? We will do our best. It is the agent's job to fulfill any player's request. So, have you decided that your future destination will be Spain?"
"For now."
"Well thought out. Italy is difficult for Woo Ho-young's style. Hoyoung is better suited to games where he catches the ball rather than games where he catches the space. And above all, the level of racism against Koreans in Italy is more severe than in Spain."
Hoyoung also fully agreed.
There was still an atmosphere in Italy that did not view Korea favorably due to the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup.
"Ah, then what are you planning to do until the season opens? "I'd like to create a customized training schedule for you."
"I will focus on strength training until next month."
First of all, Desailly's talent came first.
Time passed quickly.
Hoyoung accelerated his personal strength training until the season began, and as a result, he was able to almost complete the 4,000 minutes of strength training.
I was sweating it out at the gym again today.
Anyway, even if it wasn't because of Desailly's talent, he had to lower his body fat and increase his strength in order to run for a long time.
'Because cartilage is consumable, not permanent.'
Cartilage is a consumable tissue that does not regenerate itself once damaged and inevitably wears out with use.
Therefore, I had to do exercises to strengthen the ligaments and muscles around my knees from time to time.
Whether you have a lot of muscles or not, your body must be strong so that it can cushion the pressure you receive during the game like a sponge.
However, excessive muscle mass increases inertia, which can destroy flexibility and agility.
This means that straight running becomes faster, but zigzag running becomes slower.
Therefore, what was important was body balance.
Body balance, which balances the body so that it does not lean too far to one side.
'I just need to get it from Monica before I leave for Spain.'
The same goes for the talents of other prospects such as Neymar.
I planned to diligently covet the things I couldn't bring until December.
And finally.
"end!"
All 4000 minutes were completed.
[I want the hardness (U) that surrounds the immovable rock.]
[It takes 100 days → 50 days to fully acquire the talent. You cannot pursue other talents for 50 days.]
The fourth unique talent after Cha Du-rim and Ballack Kaka.
This brings him one step closer to his professional debut.
Excited.
I am already starting to feel changes in my body.
What can I say?
Do you feel like your existing muscles are getting stronger?
However, it did not mean that my body became completely sluggish.
'You'll find out in 50 days.'
Hoyoung got up and left the gym.
There was going to be a training call in preparation for the season starting soon, so I planned to rest at home today for the first time in a while.
Finally, it was the moment I left the building.
"uh?"
What made Hoyoung's eyes light up was the system phrase he had never seen before.
[There is no longer an extra container to hold the talent.]
[You can transfer the talent by upgrading the (+3) level.]
The thing I was worried about happened.
Limits of talent.
It means you can no longer have talent.
I had expected it, but when reality hit me, I was dizzy.
I sat in the park in shock and thought for a while.
'I guess I ate a lot.'
I could see by looking at the talent list how much I had coveted over the past three years.
Approximately 40.
'Then should we develop Ballack's versatility?'
That is something that only time passes.
What is certain right now is that you can upgrade your talent and transfer it to other talents!
To put it simply, it was a synthesis.
'Let's do it.'
Hoyoung's eyes turned somewhere.
[Potential (B)]
This is what I wanted from Kagawa.
I had not used it until now because I wanted to be careful, but now the opportunity has come.
The test subject had a strong body (B+3).
It was a talent that rose to B+3 at the beginning of this year, and now it was time to promote it to A- level, so it was perfect as a test subject.
'Let's do it right away.'
It was the moment when potential (B) was imbued into it.
[Steel-like body (A-)↑]
[Steel-like body (A-) can be transferred to another talent. Do you want to do it?]
'It was like this.'
I kind of understood it.
The same goes for (C+3), (B+3) or (A+3) level talents.
When it came time to get promoted, it seemed like there were two options.
Should I keep the promotion or transfer it?
'I think it would be good to develop less important talents and transfer them to important talents. 'What about this?'
Body like steel (A-).
It was a waste to replace it.
It seemed like it would have great synergy with the hardness (U) that surrounds an immovable rock, and moreover, I thought it would be necessary to have at least one talent related to the body.
Just in case, I tried transferring it to the 'hardness surrounding an immovable rock (U)', but it failed.
[The hardness of enclosing an immovable rock (U) can be combined with a talent of at least S grade or higher.]
'You have to grow it to S grade and then transfer it.'
Anyway, it was good.
In any case, a breakthrough has occurred that can overcome current limitations.
I already had so many miscellaneous talents that I thought I needed to sort them out, but it seemed like I could just focus on that work before leaving for Spain.
Early May 2005.
Sao Paulo FC U15 is gearing up for next season.
There were quite a few player moves, but one worth noting was that a genius prospect born in 1992 named Lucas Moura transferred from SC Corinthians.
In addition, many promising players came in from various teams.
Naturally, there were boys among them who were influenced by Hoyoung.
Also, it is a natural law that what comes in goes out.
Captain Breno, who turned 17 (15 years old), moved to the U17 team.
Meanwhile, since the start of the season, Hoyoung has been focusing on talent growth and transferring it to other talents.
In this way, I emptied my talent containers one by one and developed important talents step by step.
June.
The team rose to the sole lead in the national league.
In the background was Woo Ho-young.
Hoyoung, who improved dramatically during the trip to France, proved his improved skills by scoring a whopping 8 goals in the last 5 games.
And sometimes, he joined the Korean U17 national team and played evaluation games, laying the foundation for participation in the U17 World Cup.
Time passed like a stream and it was already June 28th.
Hoyoung was scheduled to have an important game tomorrow, and that was why the players gathered at the Bahafunda training center to inspect the game.
It's the national league game.
The opponent was 'Gremio', based in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, a mid-to-upper tier team currently ranked 4th in the league.
"We recorded impressive results throughout the season based on our impeccable defense."
Director Carlos opened his mouth.
"As you can see from watching the play video, he is a very strong defender. Although he lacks soccer intelligence, it can be seen as a typical fighter's tendency to push with force. "Does anyone have any opinions on this?"
Ugh.
The boy who raised his hand more boldly than anyone else was Casemiro.
"okay. say it."
"Yes, director. In my opinion, if he pushes me with force, I think I should play intelligently instead of playing around. "We quickly build up in the midfield and confuse the opponent."
If the other person is good at arm wrestling, there is no need to arm wrestle with them.
It was a simple yet clear answer.
However, it was an answer that felt slightly disappointing to Carlos.
"It's an exemplary answer. "Then are there any other opinions?"
"Instead of avoiding it, how about sneaking up on it?"
Woo Ho-young's hand rose calmly.
"It's annoying."
"Use the opponent's weapon in reverse?"
"yes."
In response to that answer, small wrinkles appeared around Carlos' eyes.
"How did you come up with that idea?"
"It's an experience. "I once faced Sissokoran at a tournament in France, and I took advantage of that to break the opponent's spirit."
"good. "That's a great idea."
"thank you."
Carlos found it admirable that Hoyoung had grown so much, but he also felt sad that he would have to leave soon.
And at the same time, Hoyoung's eyes looking at Carlos were also unusual.
'done.'
Hoyoung's eyes followed the letters floating in the air and read them.
[Carlos Enrique]
Possessed talent
– Excellent understanding of tactics (A+2)
– Leadership with charisma (A)
– Excellent eye for prospects (A-)
(Currently deteriorated talents cannot be seen.)
(If the conditions are met . You can covet poetry talent.)
(Condition 1: Talk about tactics for 300 minutes)
(Condition 2: Win 20 league games)
(Condition 3: Play the final season)
It's already been 2 years since I was with Carlos.
Although the conditions were not that difficult, they were so difficult that they were still not achieved.
But there isn't much left now.
This year will be my last season at Sao Paulo FC.
next day.
A bus carrying the Sao Paulo FC players headed to Rio Grande do Sul.
It was the day of the national league match against Gremio.
Soon, when the game started, it was a battle of defense and defense without giving up an inch.
As local battles for possession of the ball unfolded everywhere, a fierce battle for the ball broke out in the midfield.
Sao Paulo FC took the lead first.
Lucas Moura and Oscar, who were newly added this season, gradually began to dominate the midfield.
It soon led to Hoyoung's breakthrough.
Percussion!
18 minutes in the first half.
When Hoyoung caught the ball on the edge of the box, the opposing defender, who was in charge of man-to-man marking, clung to him at the same time.
Pereira.
He was 15 years old, had a fairly stocky physique, and was a fighter-type defender with a knack for physical combat.
The reason he pushed his shoulders inward from the start to encourage physical fight was because he was that confident.
But today's Hoyoung was different from before.
Pow!
"Keeek!"
It was Pereira, not Hoyoung, who was pushed out.
On the other hand, Hoyoung moved forward leisurely as if nothing had happened.
Although it was a fairly rough contact, Hoyoung was not particularly shocked.
This is because the 'hardness of rock' cushioned the impact like a sponge.
Yes.
Why today's game is important.
Since this was the day when the hardness (U) surrounding Desailly's rock was completely brought about, it was necessary to confirm its effect.
And the effect was truly amazing.
I don't know if it's because they're playing against younger players, but…
'But if it's this good, it will work to some extent in the U17 World Cup.'
I believed that and focused on the game.
As a result, Hoyoung scored five goals that day and led the team to victory.
August this year was particularly chilly.
In the morning, the temperature dropped to 11 degrees, so I had to take a thin coat when going out.
At the same time, the days became shorter.
Because of that, the day felt short, and when I opened my eyes, it was already the first week of September.
"Thank you for sending it. "Then I'll be back."
"There's nothing to be thankful for. Just come back healthy."
Hoyoung, who was selected as the final entry for the U17 World Cup, expressed his gratitude to coach Carlos and then returned home.
