078. The First Tutor(3)

Uniform arms.

It is literally a word that refers to a player recruited to sell uniforms.

This is usually a sarcastic term for Asian players, but since the Asian market is so large, when a prestigious European club recruits an Asian player, uniform sales actually increase.

The same goes for going on an Asian tour in the pre-season.

As another example, the sales volume of star players' uniforms is also enormous.

In particular, in the case of Ronaldo, uniform sales account for about half of the team.

In other words, stardom and Asian race are factors that have a huge impact on the uniform market.

It was also an element that Woo Ho-young possessed.

Of course, Hoyoung has not yet shown anything to the public as a member of Real Madrid, but fans were already excited.

Same goes for Florentino Perez.

It was thrilling to think that a few years later that boy would be running around the Santiago Bernabeu in a white jersey.

If Hoyoung achieves good results, uniform sales will definitely show an unprecedented upward curve.

Perez hurried to Noed Hotel to participate in the 'New Year's Lunch' celebration to celebrate the new year.

The club's board of directors and proud players welcomed Perez.

"Come on, take a seat."

The celebration went off without a hitch.

After taking commemorative photos to congratulate fans on the New Year, they had a meal in the huge hall.

The round table where Perez sat had a fairly high age group, with director Juan Lopez on the left and a white-haired old man, Alfredo Di Stefano, on the right.

The remaining seats were filled by high-ranking officials, including one soccer player dressed in a neat suit.

Real Madrid captain.

Raul Gonzalez.

He was the only player at the management table.

It was a passage that showed how great his status was within the club.

And then Perez's voice turned towards him.

"This year will be difficult again."

Director Juan closed his mouth at those words.

Although Real Madrid is currently in the middle of the season, they have already recorded 6 losses, falling far behind Barcelona, who are firmly in first place in the league.

If things continue like this, winning the league this year is a breeze.

Therefore, Director Juan had nothing to say, even if he had ten words to say.

However, Raoul showed a determined look.

"It's not over yet. "We will only run to win."

As always, Raul was full of passion for the team.

Perhaps because it was the New Year, it stood out even more.

"Los Blancos never die."

"okay. "The most important Champions League remains."

Perez, who was frustrated with the poor league performance, finally brightened up a bit.

'A man like this could instill the spirit of whiteness in that kid.'

From this time on, Raoul emerged as a candidate to become Hoyoung Woo's tutor.

Since he is the most loyal player in the club and has a strong sense of professionalism, there was a strong possibility that he would listen to Perez's request without hesitation.

But what mattered was time.

Raoul still had plenty of time left to teach Hoyoung, who was in his 20s.

However, other players told a different story.

Especially players who are about to retire.

Perez's gaze turned to the right.

First team players were talking at a round table for 9 people.

Beckham, Carlos Zidane, Ronaldo, Guti, Casillas, Helguera, Robinho, etc….

I didn't know that if you combined the prices of these players, you might be able to purchase a hotel here.

Among them, Perez was watching a particularly particular player closely.

'That friend would be better.'

There was a player who was planning to retire at the end of this season.

In that respect, he was by far the first choice.

But there was no immediate urgency.

This was because it was a busy time with the Champions League and La Liga running simultaneously, so it was impossible to operate a tutor system.

So, I was thinking of just making a schedule in advance.

"Excuse me."

Eventually, Perez finished eating and moved to the players' table.

Because they interacted so much on a regular basis, there wasn't a single first-team member who had a hard time with Perez.

In particular, Perez had a very special relationship with that man.

Perez told him bluntly.

"You need to create a successor before you retire."

School home training ground home expedition.

Hoyoung quickly adapted to this infinite bondage.

There were cases where we had to take a long bus to go on an expedition, but compared to Brazil's enormous land mass, Spain was like three feet of blood.

It's not just the area.

The number of games was also leisurely, with less than 40 games per season.

Of course, Hoyoung, who had been through the tight Brazilian league, felt relaxed.

Anyway, I had a lot of time to train instead.

This was because the Spanish Youth Football Federation did not place any restrictions on youth training time.

It was much more liberal than in England, where training time for young players was limited to 90 minutes a day for protection purposes.

Hoyoung liked that.

In any case, there weren't many talents to covet in the Juvenil CB league, so it was better to focus on individual training.

In fact, Spain's soccer philosophy pursues a system that anyone can sympathize with at first glance, where the goal is not to become a professional player, but to be happy.

But that was just an ideal and there was a big gap with reality.

Anyone can become a youth player, but the gateway to becoming a professional is narrow.

It was more intense than Brazil, but not less so.

Youth and professional.

Juvenyl C (U16) to Juvenyl A (U18).

Many people struggling in the midst of this have long since lost their happiness.

Once soccer became a business, it was no longer play but war.

Naturally, there were few people who knew how to enjoy themselves happily in that gap.

How can we enjoy soccer when we are not even sure about the future?

To have fun, you have to be confident.

Confidence in yourself.

trust.

And skills.

It was thanks to him that Woo Ho-young was able to jump to a higher level team in just three months.

Faith, skill, and confidence.

Because it met all three of those requirements. Hoyoung scored 18 goals in 12 games over the past three months.

Accordingly, the board judged that Hoyoung's level was not suitable for the league and promoted him to the Juvenil B (U17) team.

For Juvenil, there was no problem as players could be moved between teams at any time.

With this, Hoyoung skipped a grade to a team five levels higher than his age.

Although he has to play with players who are at most five years older than him, Hoyoung has already shown his potential at the Peru World Cup.

Lack of stamina is a problem that can be solved by controlling the number of matches played.

Everything was going as planned according to Hoyoung's sketch.

And by the time everything is completed, you will enter the Santiago Bernabeu in complete form.

Early May 2006.

The league champion was decided early.

FC Barcelona has maintained its lead throughout the season thanks to the outstanding performance of Ronaldinho, who won the Ballon d'Or last year.

Moreover, they succeeded in advancing to the Champions League final.

As a result, Madrid had to endure miserable days.

When a friend prospers, it ends with a stomachache, but when an enemy prospers, the internal organs and muscles become upset. Real Madrid, which was eliminated early in the round of 16 of the Champions League, was in an awkward mood.

From start to finish, everything was a mess.

Even though they spent a lot of money to recruit the world's best players, they were like this, so it was perfect to become a subject of ridicule from soccer fans around the world.

Coach Juan had been the target of dismissal for a long time, and Perez was already looking for a successor.

There were rumors that even Chairman Perez would be dismissed, but the board did their best to calm public opinion by bringing the recruitment of Woo Ho-young to the forefront.

At that time, Hoyoung was showing off his presence in Juvenil B as always.

He seemed a little hesitant at first, but quickly got used to it and made the league his own stage.

For 14-year-old Hoyoung, U17 was no longer the high wall it used to be.

Above all, since the Spanish league has stricter judgment compared to other leagues, it was good that there were not as many rough fights as there were during the U17 World Cup or Montague Tournament.

As long as it wasn't for the large defenders, Hoyoung's skills were on full display.

However, due to limitations in endurance, he was unable to participate in all games.

As a result, he set a fantastic record of 7 goals in 5 games in the 11th group of the Juvenil League.

At the same time, news related to Woo Ho-young spread widely throughout Spain.

Among them, the Barcelona-based 'Don Balonn' magazine was particularly obsessed with Hoyoung.

[Real Madrid's Woo Ho-young requests a meeting with the board regarding future issues.]

[Woo Ho-young's future with Real Madrid is uncertain. Is it because Barcelona sent love calls?]

[Barcelona is constantly sending love calls to Ho-young Woo and, if possible, wants to trade 'Ho-young Woo' for 'Giovanni dos Santos' of Barcelona Juvenil A.]

[Ho-young Woo is the weather in Madrid . I am expressing regret. The Barcelona board announced that they plan to give him nice sunglasses and a swimsuit as a gift if he comes to Barcelona.]

[Woo Ho-young wants to live in Barcelona, with its sandy beaches and wide expanses, rather than a stuffy city.]

[Woo Ho-young Barcelona's food is the best in the world . .]

[Woo Ho-young hates Ronaldo because he is fat.]

[Woo Ho-young said he likes Ronaldinho more than Ronaldo and expressed his aspirations to debut in La Liga as soon as possible like Messi.]

[Woo Ho-young wants to get a girlfriend from Barcelona rather than Madrid. .]

They sent out countless trash articles using the keywords 'Woo Ho-young' and 'Barcelona'.

In particular, 'La Saeta Oscuro', a columnist famous for digging into Ronaldinho's private life, was very interested in Hoyoung.

However, Madrid's Marca tabloid, which focuses on Real Madrid, published a counter-article.

[Woo Ho-young is already looking for a place to lie down at Madrid's 'Albudena Cemetery'. He brought joy to Madrid fans by showing his determination not to leave Madrid even in death.]

[Woo Ho-young cannot live by the beach. This is because he loved soccer so much that he forgot how to swim.]

[The player that Hoyoung Woo admires the most is Luis Figo. [Because he made the 'historic decision' to escape from Barcelona.]

If you were a centrist and not a fan of Real Madrid or Barcelona, it was a situation that could not help but make you laugh.

In fact, there was no problem with the person involved, but it was as if people around him were inciting a fight.

That's because in Spain, a buyout clause cannot be inserted until the player turns 16, so if Hoyoung changes his mind, Barcelona can take him at any time.

But regardless, Hoyoung only focused on growth.

First of all, I had to go pro as quickly as possible.

And today.

There was a practice match between Juvenil A and Juvenil B, and the youth staff and coaches were in attendance, so the players' nerves were on edge.

It was a golden opportunity for Hoyoung to show good performance and quickly move up to Juvenile A.

'All the famous prospects are in Juvenil A.'

If it's a true buffet, that's it.

So I had to go up quickly.

One year at the earliest.

Everything is ready to go up.

Now all that remains is to climb.

Hoyoung checked his condition by checking the talents he had managed so far.

A great achievement achieved almost a year after last year's Montague competition.

All C-classes were promoted and transferred, and B-classes were still being managed.

There was still quite a bit left, but it seemed like it could be compressed to 1/3 in the next 1-2 years.

'I've collected a lot.'

Currently, there is no player among Real Madrid's youth that can compare to Hoyoung's talent.

If anything, he is the captain of the Juvenil A team.

He was a top prospect from Real Madrid who we will be playing against today.

'As expected, it lives up to its name.'

Although he was not very big, he was a player with outstanding skills that would soon make his professional debut.

The boy with impressive blue eyes shook my hand.

"I'm counting on you."

That sight attracted the attention of the audience.

Chairman Perez, who was sitting in the center, said.

"Please take a good look and decide."

"yes."

He was full of charisma with only short and bold answers and was the first candidate for Hoyoung's tutor.

'Suddenly it's tutoring.'

Tutoring is something that you have to have the right mindset to do, and it's not something you can just do just because you want to.

In that sense, the man was planning to give an unfair evaluation of Hoyoung.

Is tutoring really worth it or not?

"Let me take a look."

The man raised his shiny head and stared at Hoyoung.
