008. Charminator V/S Lamborghini (1)

It's been an hour since I started kicking a ball around with the kids.

"You really kick my ass?"

Cha Doo-rim walked out of the pitch and tapped Hoyoung on the shoulder.

"It will remind you of the dragon."

"Ryong? "Who is that?"

"Oh, there is. Ki Seong-ryong. "The one I raised."

"omg."

Could it be that Ki Sung-ryong?

Ki Sung-ryong, who will advance to the EPL in the future?

'This guy raised Ki Sung-ryong. Wasn't Cha Bum-gon raised him?'

Well, it's either that or that.

When I thought back to Cha Beom-gon's autobiography that I read before, there was a similar passage.

Before sending Ki Sung-ryong to Australia to study, he took great care of him like a son and let him live with his real son.

'In the process, I inevitably learned soccer from Cha Doo-rim.'

Hoyoung once again realized that he was standing in front of a legendary Korean soccer family.

As soon as we entered the lounge, Lee Sang-woon opened his mouth.

"How are you feeling?"

"It reminds me of the good old days, doesn't it?"

"then. A soccer player must solve his problems through soccer. "But Director Cha said he had to run an errand?"

"haha. Anyway, even if I go now, my father isn't home. But did your father see Hoyoung too?"

"You haven't seen it yet, but you said you would see it the next time you visit."

"Huh. "I don't know that you are taking me home and raising me."

Cha Doo-rim turned his head towards Hoyoung.

"Yumma. Are you going to be a soccer player?"

"yes! certainly!!"

"Hehe. "My father took me in and raised me when I was just about the same age as him."

"Then please take me with you and raise me!"

"huh?"

I thought I didn't know anything and gave it a try.

Common sense tells us that there is no chance of doing leg exercises together for 500 minutes when we first met.

After all, Cha Doo-rim is famous for liking children, but honestly, this had little chance.

But it wasn't that there was no way.

It's literally all or nothing!

"I want to learn soccer from my brother, Ki Sung-ryong."

"Yumma. "You have coach Lee Sang-woon."

"lol. Then, can you teach me something different from Coach Lee Sang-woon? "I want to become a great soccer player like my brother and play together!"

I was desperate.

I didn't know when I would be able to acquire a unique level of talent if not now, so I begged again and again.

With an iron plate placed on his face. It's also made of titanium!

But does that make common sense?

"You dude. If you have that skill, your father will take you with him. "Don't be disappointed and just play soccer hard."

"Then can't I visit my brother's house sometimes?"

"I'm busy dude. And your parents are worried."

'under. It doesn't work either.'

Hoyoung swallowed his disappointment.

Because it was common sense to refuse.

Nevertheless, when his disappointment appeared on the surface, Cha Doo-rim asked.

"Where do you live?"

"That's Anyang, Gyeonggi-do!"

"Anyang? "Hoo."

For some reason, Cha Doo-rim's lips pursed.

"I'm so sorry,

what should I do?…" Hoyoung was able to get Kim Hee-seon's permission only after he cried and begged that he couldn't do it and kowtowed.

"This alone is a nuisance…"

"Ah hahaha. No, whatever. I like kids who are good at soccer. Since I was young, my father has been bringing the kids home. And it's one hour a day. The house is close too. "We do it together while jogging in the evening."

"uh…? "Where is your home?"

"My hometown is Jongro, but I'm currently living with a close friend in Anyang."

A close brother.

It was referring to Lee Hyeong-pyo, a smart-ass who plays for Anyang Cheetahs in the K-League, but Hoyoung didn't know.

Anyway, it worked out because we got a chance to work out together.

next day.

Hoyoung, who met Cha Doo-rim, followed him around without saying a word.

'I think it's a real nuisance.'

I will definitely repay this favor next time!

Hoyoung, who made a promise, followed Cha Doo-rim and worked hard on his legs.

As a result, Condition 1 and Condition 2 were able to be achieved within one week.

[Choose the talent you want to covet.]

-Charminator's hitting and running (U)

-Legs faster than passing (A-)

-Strong body (B+)

'For a U-level person, I feel like I got it easier than I thought.'

Hoyoung thought for a moment about what to choose, then realized that there was no reason to do so.

'Are you saying it's a horse?'

Of course it's crazy!

Although faster legs than passing were desirable, hitting and running were rarer and more valuable.

The speed at which Cha Doo-rim hits the ball and runs is faster than you can imagine, but people who haven't seen it in person don't know much about it.

How great it is.

How could it be said that the balance is off because the legs are faster than the ball?

'It's not unique for nothing.'

Hoyoung chose the former without much hesitation.

[It takes 30 days to fully import the talent. You cannot pursue other talents for 30 days.]

'Huh. This is the first time something like this has happened.'

Perhaps because the level of talent was clearly high, it was not possible to bring it in right away.

Just like it takes time to digest food.

'So does this mean that Charminator's Rush can only be used after 30 days?'

Well, it didn't really matter.

There are no important competitions in it, and you will get it over time anyway.

Hoyoung was satisfied with what he got.

Moreover, I gained connections that money cannot buy.

'then. This is the path of a soccer player!'

Step by step.

I really felt like I was getting closer to being a soccer player.

Time passed quickly in the repetitive schedule of training and filming.

In mid-November, a member of Country Kkoko, who was the coach of FC Shootdori, was booked by the prosecution on gambling charges.

Meanwhile, Run, Shootdori was on a roll, breaking the highest viewership ratings every week.

Meanwhile, far away in the English Premier League (EPL), a 16-year-old young rookie who made his debut for Everton uttered a famous line and belatedly created a stir in Korea.

Just this one word.

'Remember the name Wayne Rooney.'

It was the moment when another star player was born following Cristiano Ronaldo in 2002.

Hoyoung developed his dream while watching Wayne Rooney's debut.

And on December 11th.

Today's filming location, Paju NFC, had a more solemn and tense atmosphere than ever before.

In addition to broadcasting officials, the head of the Korea Football Association's Youth Strategy Division and sports reporters who were permitted to enter were present.

Hoyoung was also quite nervous.

Woo Hwang-seon, who came on vacation, clenched his right fist.

"My son! There's no need to be discouraged. "Those kids are tall, but our Hoyoung is good at soccer, right?"

"sure. "I will definitely win."

"haha. My son is cool! Go for it!"

Today's opponent, who will be recording the 9th episode, was none other than a foreign team.

I knew in advance that the schedule had already been decided two weeks ago, but when I actually saw it, I felt twice as nervous.

[Woo Ho-young. Have your movements become very sharp these days? Isn't that right, commentator Kim Byeong-jin?]

[That's right. There are some voices of concern that it is a bubble or something. I am confident that it is not.]

[Why?]

[I know because we are close friends.]

[Hahaha. Are you building connections with the next generation soccer star in advance?]

[Uh-huh, this person. Caster Choi Seong-don is like that too, right? I saw all the allowances given.]

[Hahaha! Viewers misunderstand. Well anyway. Well then, let's take a look at today's game! Will FC Shootdori, who is thirsty for just one win, be able to achieve victory today? But I think today may be the biggest challenge. Today's opponent for FC Shooting is Sao Paulo FC, a Brazilian soccer club that has produced many soccer legends!] A

prestigious club with Brazilian tradition where many legends, including Didi Leonardo and Capu Rivaldo, have played.

Sao Paulo FC's under-13 youth team visited Korea during the Christmas break.

But of course, the game against Ssotdori was not the main purpose of the visit.

This is because the 2002 World Youth (Under 13) Football Championship, co-hosted by the Korea Football Association and MBS, was scheduled to be held for six days from the 18th to the 24th.

So Sao Paulo FC came to represent Brazil, and during their visit to Korea, at the request of the organizers, they had a friendly match against FC Souttori.

For PD Choi, it was a golden opportunity to surpass Ma's 15% viewership rating.

'Please do one thing this time too. 'Please!'

PD Choi's eyes turned to Hoyoung.

Hoyoung was quite nervous and lost in thought.

'Can I win?'

FC Shootdori has also been improving its skills through its own training, but in fact, it was impossible to beat Sao Paulo FC.

Not only are they older, but their heights differ by 10 to 20 cm.

But there was another reason why Hoyoung was nervous.

That's a Sao Paulo player lifting the ball right in front of me.

A child who looked very similar to the 'him' he knew, with his bronze skin, curly black hair, and thick lips, was preparing for the game.

Additionally, looking at the name written on the back of the uniform, it was 100% clear.

A man who will later occupy the main left wing position at Juventus.

"hey! Dougie! "If you score 10 goals today, the coach will take you to Disneyland in Korea!"

"really? Hurray!"

This was a boy that overseas soccer fans would have heard of at least once.

[Douglas Costa]

Possessed talents

-Soccer prodigy (B+)

-Fast legs as fast as a Lamborghini (A)

-A king of ups and downs who goes back and forth between genius and genius (C+)

(You can covet one talent when you meet the conditions.)

(Condition 1: ( Prevent scoring)

(Condition 2: Win the speed competition)

'I want this.'

Hoyoung quenched his appetite.
