010. Charminator V/S Lamborghini(3)

Casemiro.

Born in 1992, his main position was a defensive midfielder, and he was a Brazilian star with top-level defense in his age group, so much so that he was called the next Makelele.

Moreover, since he was much taller than Hoyoung, I thought blocking him would be a piece of cake.

'That guy is just a fast runner.'

Casemiro only acknowledged Hoyoung's on the ball speed.

but.

'Just because it's fast isn't everything.'

Casemiro, who was measuring the timing with bated breath as the next-generation prospect to lead Brazil, put his foot in at some point.

Ball cutting, our trademark and specialty!

When it came to foot skills, I was confident because he was the best among Brazilian kids his age.

He said he could definitely cut off Hoyoung's ball. Now is the right moment!

however.

"uh?"

I was so embarrassed that my thoughts froze.

The reason is none other than Hoyoung's monstrous breakthrough.

I lost him in a moment I didn't even think about.

'Why is it so fast…'

It wasn't a flashy foot technique like a flip flap or phantom dribble.

Hoyoung just took a long dribble to the left and ran aimlessly.

In other words, he instantly escaped Casemiro's defense zone with his incredible speed.

To use a metaphor, it would be like ambushing a cheetah with your bare hands and missing it.

So Casemiro's foot only kicked the grass.

But regardless, Hoyoung entered the penalty box like a buffalo.

The goalkeeper came out late, but it was pointless.

Because the ball has already left Hoyoung's toes.

Crash!

"Wow!"

The goal, which hit squarely into the empty net on the left, sent the stadium into a melting pot of excitement.

Not only the parents of the shooting team making a fuss, but also the sports reporters were busy pressing the camera shutters.

Even announcer Choi Seong-don, who was always calm, was screaming loudly.

[Ah ah ah ah ah-! Woo Ho-young! What the hell is going on! He scored the first goal against Sao Paulo FC, a prestigious team representing Brazil! Does this make sense?!]

[I'm very proud! I reflect on myself for ignoring the shoot! haha. Dear viewers, the future of Korea is so bright!]

Although we only scored one goal, I was even more impressed because the process leading up to the goal was amazing.

It was perfection, including defeating Sao Paulo's ace Douglas Costa and single-handedly breaking through Casemiro, the key player in the defense.

Truly the leader of the field, both offense and defense!

'It would be perfect to put subtitles like that.'

Producer Choi, who was two heads short of admiration or work, couldn't get goosebumps all over his body.

"Wow… What is this really young guy so good at? "Do you think this episode's viewer ratings will be enough to exceed expectations?"

"I think so. Why are there no seats at soccer academies these days? It's a shooting craze. It's a craze. Especially because of that one and that one!"

At that moment, as usual today, Hoyoung was caught on camera running across the field to Jimmy's house.

"downpour!!"

After the ceremony, Hoyoung finally felt it.

Why is Cha Doo-rim called Korea's Maicon?

'You're at the level of having a magic item attached to your body, right? Oh, but… my knee hurts a bit.'

Meanwhile, the audience cheered for Hoyoung.

"Oh sure victory Korea~!"

Clap clap!

The World Cup had already ended, but the Red Devils were still cheering enthusiastically.

'Now, a Hong Kong restaurant with Gukbbong has opened.'

My heart was pounding.

Even though I'm still playing in a substandard stadium, I didn't realize how happy it was to have someone cheering me on.

The cheering was so loud that I couldn't hear Coach Kim Jung-guk's voice, but the strong cheering gave me energy.

'I'll chew it all up for today!'

And then it finally came to mind.

[Choose the talent you want to pursue.]

-Soccer gifted (B+)

-Ball cutting (B)

-Good ball blocking (C)

'Of course he's a soccer gifted child.'

When he chose the former, his existing soccer talent went up to the next level.

[Woo Ho-

young] Talents

-Soccer prodigy (B+)↑

-Quite heavy mid-distance shot (C)

-Healthman's solid muscles (C)

-Positive free kick (C-)

-Chaminator's hitting and running (U)

'Good. 'I moved up a level with this.'

Afterwards, I rechecked Casemiro's condition.

[Casemiro]

Possessed Talents

-Soccer Gifted (B+)

-Ball Cutting (B) -Good

Ball Blocking (C)

(You can pursue one talent when the conditions are met.)

(Condition 1: 5 solo breakthroughs Success)

(Condition 2: Achieve a hat trick)

'5 more solo breakthroughs and 2 more goals.'

The remaining time was about 30 minutes, so if I kept running like I did now, it would have been possible.

'Next is ball cutting.'

Unless you have talents that you like or dislike, like the King of Ups and Downs, no matter what you get, more is more.

Also, if he expands his talents to the field of defense, he will be able to develop into a better player.

Hoyoung ran diligently.

Beep!

Substitution time occurred in the second half.

Another striker filled Douglas Costa's place.

It was a decision made by coach Carlos because he could not keep Costa in poor condition ahead of the World Youth Championship.

In other words, it was a kind of 'consideration' to replace it before facing humiliation.

However, Douglas, who could not understand what he meant, spoke harshly to Carlos.

"It was because I wasn't feeling well!"

"If you're not in good shape, it might be better to rest on the bench."

"But that's…"

"Dougy. You learned something very valuable today. "I want you to go back to the bench and think about what you learned today and show me next time."

Samba soccer is all about flexibility.

The same goes for the youth system.

Having a flexible mindset was a qualification for the Brazilian Seleção (national team).

"But what can we learn from Asians? "I am a Brazilian who will become Seleção."

"what?"

"Oh… I'm sorry…"

"Dougie. listen carefully. If I were a referee and not a coach, you would have already been ejected for making racist remarks. And if you can't acknowledge other people's skills, try looking at it yourself from an observer's perspective. "What is the truth?"

Then Costa looked at the stadium with a dissatisfied expression, as if he couldn't understand.

To be precise, I concentrated on observing Hoyoung running wild all over the place.

And we could also see Sao Paulo FC losing momentum and losing momentum.

"That bastard. How could someone at that age…."

"Dougie. "You turned twelve two months ago, right?"

"yes. Director…."

"You're not that young anymore. You probably know that Ronaldo debuted in a professional team at the age of 14. yes?"

"Of course…"

"Okay. Then I think you understand what I'm saying. The only people who will accept your foolishness are your fans. "Even that requires skill."

"… sorry."

When Costa admitted his mistake and returned to the bench, Carlos watched the game with deep eyes.

'I have good physical strength and strong muscles. On the ball speed is ridiculously fast.'

Where on earth did such a monster come from?

Carlos was a very experienced staff member at Sao Paulo FC.

He directly coached numerous youngsters and produced them into prestigious European clubs.

It was as if many of Brazil's soccer players grew up under his touch.

'That kid is one of the best among them. We'll have to wait and see.'

The game flowed with Hoyoung taking the lead.

As Hoyoung's stamina began to decline towards the end, Sao Paulo FC took advantage and finally seized the opportunity.

[Sao Paulo scores! Are you finally feeling better?]

[I think I've been adjusting to jet lag so far. Or maybe I just adapted to the cold in Korea.]

[Hahaha! That's right. It is too early for Sao Paulo players to give up. It's not too late, right? I can easily catch up.]

And then there is still more to do.

Since soccer is not a sport played alone, there was nothing more Hoyoung could do as his stamina ran out in the second half.

'Run, you bastards!!'

This time, it was Hoyoung who was especially desperate for victory.

If we beat Brazil's prestigious Sao Paulo FC, it will become a hot topic more than ever.

However, the game ended up being won by the away team.

As if to prove that he was indeed a prestigious team, he and Hoyoung exchanged fierce battles, creating a baseball score of 4 to 9.

But the real winner was not the away team.

Although their final pride was preserved, it was a game in which Sao Paulo FC had more to lose.

It was a game to boost morale ahead of the youth tournament, but how did it end up like this?

Conversely, the team's morale fell.

The good news was that there was unexpected income.

"That kid is showing signs of growth. "Isn't that right?"

"Yes, Director. In particular, it felt like watching Ricardo play a few years ago. In particular, the on-the-ball speed is significant. Normally, his main power isn't that great, but when he hits and runs, he's explosive. "I was curious about when my body would grow up."

The head coach's evaluation was extremely objective.

His playing style was similar to that of Kaka, currently considered Brazil's best prospect, but his speed at hitting the ball and running was very artistic.

It was at a level worthy of favorable reviews from anyone.

"If you are technically talented, wouldn't it really be a big deal?"

Pele, Romario, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Kaka, etc.

A word that refers to those who went beyond being geniuses and were called 'prodigies', 'emperors', and 'gods' in Brazil.

star!

"No, the basics are too weak to the point where it's strange."

but.

"The body is fast and agile, and the mind is smart and cunning. And most of all, I enjoy soccer. Hmm… I think he'll be a good player at this level."

"haha. What resonates most with me is that I enjoy playing soccer."

These were two men who couldn't imagine that two people who were 24 years older than each other would return to the past and return to school.

Anyway, it was true that Carlos was very impressed.

"We will have to wait and see whether he is an outstanding genius, an ordinary genius, or a brilliant genius."

When the game was over and the player interviews were underway, Coach Carlos left his seat and headed to the stands, accompanied by an interpreter provided by MBS.

The place where it stopped was in front of a young couple in their 30s.

Carlos smiled brightly and greeted me in Portuguese.

"Ola!"

"Ah…. ¡Hola."

The person who answered in Spanish was Hoyoung's mother, Kim Hee-seon.

Then Carlos's mustache curled up.

"oh. Do you speak Spanish?"

"Ah yes. "I was born in Spain."

"haha. Oh my god, this kind of relationship. "There is no need for an interpreter."

Carlos sent the interpreter back.

When having an important conversation like this, there will be less resistance to having it directly without an interpreter.

"My name is Carlos and I am the youth team coach at São Paulo FC. I would like to have a chat with you. Can I speak in Spanish?"

"Oh yeah. Please. But… what is the director doing here…"

Carlos said without hesitation.

"Is there a youth club that your son officially belongs to?"
