005. Heavy Rain(2)

Cheers erupted from the commentary desk.

[Goal~! It's a goal! Woo Ho-young's goal from the halfway line split the opposing team's goal!]

[Ah, what is this? Is that a shot that could come from a child? Plus, look at that ceremony! A gesture of longing for victory! It's fantastic!]

"Huh?"

The opposing team's goalkeeper scratched the back of his head in bewilderment at the unexpected and surprise long-distance shot.

It was natural since I had never been hit by a shooting like this before.

The adults who were laughing and watching the game were all surprised.

It wasn't a cannonball shot, but it was hard to believe that it was a goal made by a 10-year-old kid.

Even coach Lee Sang-woon of Cha Bum-gon's soccer class held out his tongue.

'Well… didn't you say it was definitely at the level of the neighborhood kids?'

Lee Sang-un.

He was the leader of Cha Bum-gon's soccer class.

He was not an ordinary leader, but a former soccer player with 7 years of experience with the national team and known as a legend for the K-League Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma.

The goal just now was great even for him to see.

'hmm. 'I don't have a body that can produce power.'

Hoyoung had good balance, but his height was below average at around 134cm.

Nevertheless, being able to produce that kind of power…

'I was born with it.'

Natural talent!

There was no other way to explain it.

It may seem like overkill to judge it from just one shot, but it was not at all like that.

The intuition of an excellent scouter is sharp.

FC Barcelona's sporting director Carles Rexach, who discovered the best soccer players, scouted Messi as soon as he saw him.

Lee Sang-woon, who had been trained as a player and coach, also recognized Hoyoung's potential.

'This little guy knows how to shoot.'

How to shoot properly.

It's easy to say, but if you teach something like that every day, it's like paying homage to young people who haven't grown up yet.

In fact, this is something that is difficult to realize through effort alone and without talent.

'The body was born for exercise.'

If you pretend, pretend.

The answer can be found just by looking at the shooting stance.

'That guy. It's a thing.'

"Whoa…."

Hoyoung, who had been running around like a bull from the 20th minute of the first half until the second half, let out a sigh.

Although it was only about 1/6 the size of the actual stadium, the amount of activity was by no means small.

Moreover, because it was a 6-on-6 game, the scope of activity given to each person was quite wide.

'Oh, I can't breathe.'

Meanwhile, our team's net shook greatly, but we didn't care.

[FC Cha Boom's Hwang Ki-dong! I scored 3 goals with this! Before you know it, the score is 3 to 8.]

[Ah, it's not prestigious for nothing. I thought they would falter after giving Woo Ho-young the first goal, but before I knew it, they had scored their 11th goal.]

[That's right. I would say that overall teamwork is very good. If our FC Shooters train hard, won't they be able to become like that someday?]

[I'll be lucky if we get at least one win this month.]

[Hahaha.]

The FC Shooters were terrible.

While there was a child who just danced like he was happy regardless of whether he scored a goal or not, there was also a child who burst into tears after being hit in the face by a ball and was replaced.

'doesn't care. 'I expected it anyway.'

In fact, Hoyoung didn't even want his team to win.

If he were an adult, he would have been able to lead the team to victory on his own, but he was only given talent and did not have superhuman abilities like a superhero.

It was clear that he had physical limitations to deal with six people alone.

'are you okay. I just need to show my skills!'

Hoyoung tightly knotted the laces of his soccer shoes.

Coach Lee Sang-woon instructed the team to focus on Hoyoung.

And 3 minutes into the second half.

Cough!

When FC Chaboom's goal kick crossed the halfway line, Hoyoung ran quickly and snatched the ball.

It was such an intelligent play that it seemed like he intentionally gave up space and made an interception.

But regardless, the children who had received instructions from the coach flocked to Hoyoung.

The so-called focused group mark.

It was a primitive total soccer match against Hoyoung!

but.

Whoop!

No matter what the number was, Hoyoung was not at all intimidated and took the ball between the defender's legs.

At the same time, he ran forward with the ball and took off three defenders in an instant.

[Did you just see the bar?]

[It's like walking around with a ball at your feet!]

While exclamations erupted from the commentary desk, Hoyoung led five opponents around like herding sheep and toyed with them.

He then hit the ball past the goalkeeper in front.

Then, a ground ball shot straight into the goal!

Crash!

"downpour!!"

[It's literally a one-man show! Woo Hoyoung! This is truly amazing! We've already scored five goals!]

[Oh, you didn't stand out this much during training? Is this because of Woo Ho-young's stage constitution?]

[Hahaha!]

It's literally a military world class.

With the talent of being a soccer prodigy and the soccer brain of a 24-year-old adult, he was good enough to compete with kids his age.

'I have a 10-year-old body, but a 24-year-old head!'

He has a wide field of view and excellent situational judgment.

It was a combination of the best hardware and the latest software.

Beep!

The game result was 5:14.

FC Chaboom achieved a landslide victory, but there was a true winner.

Hoyoung, who scored five goals single-handedly and ran wild, was the star of the day.

Even though I couldn't lead the team to victory, I did everything I could.

There were no regrets.

"Hehe…"

Hoyoung, exhausted, lay down on the grass.

'okay. This is soccer. It's really delicious.'

I couldn't stop the corners of my mouth from turning up.

I had a good feeling that this would definitely become a hot topic.

"Woo Ho-young."

"hmm? Mr. VJ?"

"haha. "How do you feel now?"

The VJ, who had been busy filming Hoyoung earlier, attempted to interview him as well.

This is because there were instructions from PD Choi.

Take pictures of everything, even your breathing.

Then Hoyoung opened his mouth, imitating someone's unique gesture.

"I'm still hungry!"

Guus Hiddink's famous quote when he achieved his big dream of advancing to the round of 16 of the 2002 World Cup.

I'm still hungry.

Those words made the crowd burst into laughter.

"mom!"

"My son!"

Kim Hee-sun, who could not take her eyes off Hoyoung the whole time, picked her up and hugged her.

"You did so well!"

I was worried that he might get hurt, but Hoyoung came back healthier than when he started the game.

"What does my son want to eat for dinner tonight? "Shall we fry Hoyoung's favorite yonggari?"

"no! chicken!"

"haha. Should I eat seasoned chicken or fried chicken?"

"Um… half and half?"

While Hoyoung was worrying, a welcome guest came.

"Hello, Mother!"

A man in his mid-30s came up to me and greeted me with a smile.

It was Lee Sang-un.

"Ah yes. hello. But what happened here…"

At that moment, Hoyoung had an intuition.

'It's coming!!'

Lee Sang-woon started crying as soon as he took a seat on a nearby bench.

"My name is Lee Sang-woon, and I am coaching the children at Cha Bum-gon's soccer class."

"sure. I know. "I saw it often on TV."

Moreover, Kim Hee-sun was knowledgeable about soccer, having lived in Spain for a long time.

Lee Sang-woon slightly lowered his head and cautiously opened his mouth.

"mother. "Hoyoung's soccer skills are outstanding."

"Oh really. thank you."

Lee Sang-yoon started the work with his characteristic excitement.

His demeanor was gentlemanly, but he also made a good impression, so there was little resistance.

"It's not a joke, I still have chicken skin all over my body. "Thanks to you, Hoyoung, the teacher's eyes were bright!"

"Ho Ho. Hoyoung, I should say thank you."

"thank you. But man."

"huh?"

Hoyoung made an innocent face.

"Why are you my teacher?"

"haha. "That is."

Lee Sang-yoon turned his head towards Kim Hee-seon.

"mother. Let me tell you straight. "I want to teach Hoyoung. What do you think?"

"Ah… thank you for your words, but does my child really have that much talent?"

Kim Hee-sun wanted to check for herself whether she was really talented even according to experts.

Seongyoon Lee explained in a serious tone.

"In fact, at the academy, you can get a rough idea of a child's future just by looking at them for three months. "We can let parents know whether it will be a hobby class or an athlete class."

"yes."

"So, actually, it's still too early, but I dare say, Hoyoung is close to a genius."

"ah…!"

It was a cool-headed assessment without the slightest exaggeration.

Lee Sang-yoon continued speaking with a somewhat flushed face.

"Actually, it's not moral, but my desire to raise Hoyoung properly won't let me leave."

"What do you mean by commercial morality?"

"The soccer academy that Hoyoung is currently being sent to. If you're not sure about moving to us because of that… could you tell me the name of the academy?"

"yes? "I think there is some misunderstanding… Hoyoung has never been to an academy."

"yes?"

Lee Sang-yoon's eyebrows rose.

"Then who did you learn to play soccer from?"

"I've been kicking a ball with people outside since I was young, but I've never learned it professionally."

"Oh… yeah… haha. okay."

A moment of silence.

Lee Sang-yoon, unable to conclude his words out of embarrassment, continued speaking very cautiously.

"Then how do you plan on developing Hoyoung into a soccer player?

"If the child is good… But how much is the academy fee?"

"Oh yeah. It actually depends on the class you are assigned to after the entrance exam. But in Hoyoung's case, he will be assigned to Class S even if he doesn't look."

Not everyone can join special classes just by paying money.

The basic condition is talent.

Otherwise, you have to enter Class A, but in order to take the class, you have to put your name on a waiting list of over 100 people and wait for several weeks.

In other words, the S class has merit itself.

"So, in the case of S class, it is 120,000 won at least three times a week. "If you take regular classes for a month, it's 900,000 won."

It was at a very high level compared to local government soccer classes, which cost over 70,000 won per month.

However, the S class is worth the price.

At that time, Cha Bum-gon's soccer class was better than any other youth team in Korea.

As it was established early on, it was evaluated as being more systematic and professional than professional youth soccer classes that had just been established.

It was also the best shortcut to study abroad at a prestigious club.

But money was an issue.

Currently, Hoyoung's appearance fee for shooting is 38,000 won.

Group variety shows have a lower appearance fee compared to other programs, and in the case of Hoyoung, a child actor, he was set at the lowest level and received the minimum appearance fee.

'That's not enough to cover the tuition fee.'

The parents wanted to spend their savings for their son's future, but Hoyoung didn't want to.

Because there must be a better way.

Hoyoung parted his lips.

"teacher. "No trauma?"
