054. Ship To Europe(1)

There is a Brazilian who will be evaluated like this later.

'A flawless crack with everything a playmaker needs.'

An all-round genius who can play everything from winger to attacking midfielder and central midfielder.

Taking advantage of his background as a futsal player, the boy has the rhythmic footwork and agility typical of Brazilians, as well as sharp kill passes.

It was Coutinho who was helpless against the onslaught of Sao Paulo FC.

[Philippe Coutinho]

Talents

-Soccer genius (A-)

-Brilliant foot skills (B)

-Excellent passing (B)

-Excellent agility (B-)

-Quite threatening body fake (C+3)

(Limited when conditions are met) You can covet several talents.)

(Condition 1: Record 2 attack points)

(Condition 2: Block a pass)

'It's easier to deal with than last time. 'So are the conditions.'

It looks like we can have a decent harvest today as well.

He shifted his gaze, promising that he would bring agility this time, as he had already acquired the brilliant foot skills (B) in last month's league match.

There was no room for complacency just because we scored the first goal.

No matter how hard Coutinho is struggling, a promising player is a promising player.

Flawless crack.

You never know when or where a super play will break out.

That's why Hoyoung focused on the game.

Midway through the first half.

It was a very one-sided half-court match.

The soccer ball only rolled around the CR Vasco camp on the right, which was also the reason CR Vasco coach Fabio expressed his displeasure.

Despite focusing on the midfield and defense, isn't this an astonishing possession rate of 9 to 1?

If things were going on like this, I thought about counterattacking with an extreme attack, but the opponent was showing strong defense as well.

'This is not the Sao Paulo of last year.'

A club that has shown remarkable growth over the past year.

Sao Paulo FC stood at the top of the U15 team with both overwhelming offensive power and solid defense.

'It's truly a miracle.'

It was a well-known fact that the Asian boy changed them.

But Fabio couldn't believe it even after seeing today's game in person.

Woo Ho-young.

'It's huge.'

However, I don't think that the boy is at a level that represents the times.

Even if it is not Pele or Maradona, the impact is low even if you compare it with the childhood of Romario Ronaldo and Adriano.

'If you look at it from the outside, that is.'

Still, I thought that if he grew up like this, he would become a player who could represent Asia.

But what made Woo Ho-young more attractive than that was the strange power he possessed.

'Maturity?'

I had no idea how to define it.

In any case, it was clear that it only made Sao Paulo FC grow.

'If Coutinho is a flawless crack, Woo Ho-young is a differentiated crack.'

In that respect, Coach Fabio's only option was to hold out until the end and aim for a counterattack.

A typical tactic used by a weak team.

That was the best.

Beep!

It was the whistle announcing Sao Paulo FC's second goal and the sound that made coach Fabio's blood pressure explode.

Oscar, who received a penetration pass from Woo Ho-young and succeeded in a mid-range shot, was celebrating innocently.

"Oh my…"

Fabio's sad sigh meant only one thing.

'finished.'

As it was a competition to determine the best state in the country, it was a game that could not be easily given up, but nothing changed.

I felt like I had done everything I could as a director.

40 minutes in the first half.

CR Vasco suffered a couple of hooks and then a straight hit, causing him to faint.

The third goal was created by Hoyoung's breakthrough and Douglas' fantastic chip shot.

That was a knockdown.

The first half ended with a 3-0 victory for Sao Paulo FC.

Naturally, there was no festive atmosphere in their locker room.

Because it was like a game that was already over.

Nevertheless, one boy did not lose his composure until the end.

"It's not over until it's over."

Brenu speaks in a calm tone.

He, who wore the captain's armband with his unique softness, was already equipped with charisma.

Hoyoung's cheekbones twitched at the sight of him becoming quite mature.

'Everyone has grown up.'

Brenu, Oscar, Casemiro, and Douglas.

The only difference from last year was that I was a year older, but there were a lot of things that had changed.

I could feel the sadness in today's game.

'okay. 'It's not over until it's over.'

Hoyoung, perhaps the owner of a burning fighting spirit, was filled with enthusiasm from head to toe.

It was a passion that would not cool down until the end.

Hoyoung got up from his seat.

"let's go. "Let's go kick the ball."

Hoyoung, who had decided to leave Brazil, was desperate.

I want to run with them for even just one more minute.

Second half.

CR Vasco used five backs and double volanches to set up the bus in layers.

But can't a bulldozer push that thing?

As if he couldn't do anything if it wasn't perfect, Hoyoung was determined to make sure it ended until the end.

so.

When he used dribbling with upper body paint to open up space and use it as a breakthrough, his teammates joined in on the breakthrough.

CR Vasco used all his strength to stop it, but it was just a bomb attack.

Once the fire was lit, it exploded in the 12th minute of the second half.

Slosh!

The first bomb exploded with a shot by right wing forward Douglas.

Five minutes later, a large bomb followed.

Woo Ho-young's bazooka-like mid-distance shot opened the net again.

And the ending is clear.

A wonderful cross came from an indirect free kick taken just before the end of the second half.

The ball bounced off Hoyoung's head and was sucked into the goal.

Beep!

It was Hoyoung's hat trick.

[The talent vessel is currently full. Soccer prodigy (S-) (29th) is on standby.]

[Select in advance the talent you want to pursue after 29 days.]

-Excellent agility (B-)

-Quite threatening body fake (C+3)

Late in the second half .

Hoyoung, who lowered his line slightly, attacked Coutinho and was able to achieve all the conditions.

And when he chose the former, the game ended immediately.

The 'Super Championship Trophy' was presented to Sao Paulo players who achieved a baseball score of 6-0.

It was the third trophy of the season, announcing the achievement of a treble, like the sweet rain that quenches thirst in the sweltering heat.

That night.

An Internet article made one page of a Brazilian Internet newspaper.

['Golden Ball winner' Woo Ho-young stands tall at the center of the Brazilian youth league]

Woo Ho-young (12, Sao Paulo FC) announced his presence to the world through the Brazilian youth league.

As a result, Sao Paulo FC U15 won the national league and Super Championship trophies for the first time since Kaka's generation.

This tournament proved that the Brazilian Youth Football Federation's technical committee chairman's claim that "if growth is maintained, he will become an 'Asian soccer hero' worthy of the world's attention" was not a lie.

In addition, he was selected as one of the five best prospects in the Asian continent…

"The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) revealed the basis for its judgment by citing performance in the Brazilian league."

The club office of FC Barcelona, a prestigious Spanish club.

The man reading the article was FC Barcelona's technical director Carles Rexach.

And in front of them were the finance manager and the club negotiator.

After Rexach read the entire article, the two of them spoke in turn.

"I understand, but… the Vice President's will is important."

"yes. "They say it's still too early."

"So doesn't that mean we have to persuade them?"

Rexach looked frustrated.

He went home right after watching the game between Santos FC and Sao Paulo FC not long ago.

And what he did as soon as he arrived in Barcelona was to promote the recruitment of Woo Ho-young.

However, the vice president expressed his opposition.

It was a very rational attitude to ask where they have the money and leisure to spend on promising Asian players when they are busy developing domestic players.

Buyout 1 billion?

To put it bluntly, from the club's perspective, it was the price of gum.

However, if the standard was set for a 12-year-old Asian boy, the price was definitely high.

In that case, it would have been better to bring in the European U15 League Golden Ball winners.

The club negotiation officer parted his lips.

"There are many players like Woo Ho-young in Europe."

"If you just look at the stats, it might be true, but if you watch the game in person, it's a different story. "Didn't I even show you a play video myself?"

"But Asians are a bit…"

They were the ones who opposed the signing of Messi.

It was even more strange that he accepted Hoyoung so warmly.

Not only because of my age, but also because of my race.

In particular, it was a time when the perception of Asian soccer players was not very good, so I had no choice but to be even more cautious.

Moreover, the price of youth is like a rubber band.

A promising player is someone who can either fail or rise dramatically in just one year.

That was the reason why FC Barcelona showed a negative attitude.

Because it's such a risky gamble.

However, it was a different story if you were Brazilian rather than Asian.

"Then what about Fatu? I'm more interested in the club atmosphere…."

"The report has already been submitted to the higher-ups, so what do you mean?"

"I'm asking what the director thinks."

"my thought? I just think we need to offer to recruit him quickly. "About Woo Ho-young."

"Well… it's dangerous to make a decision based only on stats."

"Are you doubting my eyes now?"

Like wrinkling in front of a chrysalis.

Carles Rexach is a man recognized by others as having a keen sense of humor.

No one in this area can imitate his eye for recognizing wood.

That is why they pushed ahead with the signing of Messi four years ago, despite opposition from the club.

"We need to get to the negotiating table first before it gets overheated. In the long run, it is clear that he will leave Real Madrid within December of this year."

"…Then let's do it like this. "I will have to listen to the Vice President to find out more details, but I will wait a little longer."

"I think the same thing. There are still many stages left for them to prove their skills. This year alone, there is the U17 FIFA World Cup. "A lot of promising talent will come out."

Early morning a few days later.

As usual, unexpected news was delivered to Hoyoung, who was kicking a ball in the alley in front of his house.

"Hoyoung! "I got a call!"

It was Maria Choi's voice.

Hoyoung asked as he entered the house.

"The club?"

"no. "Are you Director Cha?"

"Director Cha Beom-gon?"

'What are you doing at this hour?'

Click.

When Hoyoung answered the phone and greeted him warmly, Cha Bum-gon's voice was heard.

-Nothing happened, right?

"Yes, of course."

-Did you say your return home is this weekend? Well then, I'll see you as soon as I get back home. There is someone who wants to see you.

"Me? "Who?"

I thought he might be a sports reporter, but Cha Beom-gon's answer was unexpected.

-He's a close friend of the director, and he said he wants to see Hoyoung. He is the head coach of our country's youth national team.

"omg."

If you are a youth representative director….

'Surely you are requesting a convocation?'

Hoyoung asked quietly, holding the receiver with both hands.

"Are you the coach of the U14 national team?"

-no. Coach Park Kyung-woon is the coach in charge of the U17 team. Operates together from U15 to U16.

"…Why seventeen all of a sudden?!"

-I didn't know that the World Cup is being held in Peru this year. Hehe. That doesn't mean Hoyoung will just put you on the U17 team, so don't feel pressured.

U-17 FIFA World Cup.

It may be possible to beat the record of the youngest player to compete, held by a 13-year-old African player, by a few months.

Maybe.
