GOAT: All Football Talents Are Mine

Chapter 21: 021. The Frog That Came Out Of The Well(5)



As his talent grew, Hoyoung put down the ball for a moment during training and got lost in thought.

'Then is B+3 next?'

I had a lot of questions because it was something I hadn't even thought about.

If so, I was curious about where it would end and whether it would be able to grow beyond B grade into an A grade 'something'.

'You'll find out when you try it yourself.'

Either way, it was clear that it was good news.

Since your talent has grown, it will help you improve your skills accordingly.

'Practice is the only way to survive!'

Practice, practice, practice!

Hoyoung shook off his thoughts and focused on training.

However, after about a couple of hours of position training, a question suddenly arose.

'I'm not sure what's changed.'

There was nothing I could feel clearly.

However, it seemed like training had become easier, but only time would tell whether that was a vain illusion or the truth.

He didn't know at the time that the reinforcement was successful, but a month later, Hoyoung finally realized it.

'It's definitely gotten easier.'

What can I say?

If I were to make an analogy, it would be like this.

If a gifted person takes a full month to learn something, then a gifted person (B+2) was a person who could learn something in 15 days and still apply it in real life.

Hoyoung was especially seeing the effects in passing training, which he had a hard time with.

Tuk. Tuk.

Now that passing training is in full swing, I felt it every time I passed.

The coach's teaching is that when passing, you must keep your body centered and have perfect posture.

All of this was realized in just one month.

'Even when I look at it, it has definitely increased noticeably.'

I felt the difference better than anyone else.

And I could tell just by looking at the reactions of those around me.

"Ohh~ Woo Ho-young. "I've grown a bit?"

Hoyoung's appearance, which changed 180 degrees in just one month, impressed his colleagues.

The effect of talent was also evident in other training.

"When dribbling, you have to move your whole body as one with the ball, not just tapping your feet. "That way, you can maintain your center of gravity and not be pushed back by the physical fight even when pressure comes on."

"yes!"

Hoyoung, who was listening to the technical coach's words, thought, 'What does that mean?', but while training, he understood what he meant.

And later, when free training was given, Hoyoung went to Casemiro.

"Casemiro. "Let's play a game of crown."

The Crown Game was a mini-game in which the person who had the ball within a set time became king, and it was a type of bet where the loser had to become a slave and do errands or do favors.

"Crown? Why all of a sudden?"

"You are the best defender on our team."

Actually, there was a different reason.

[Casemiro]

Possessed talent

-Soccer gifted (B+)

-Ball cutting (B)

-Good ball blocking (C)

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

(Condition 1: Dribbling for more than 120 minutes Training together)

(Condition 2: Dribbling for 5 minutes and not losing the ball to Casemiro)

To practice dribbling and gain talent.

"Then I go first!"

Suddenly, only three minutes had passed since the crown game started, and Hoyoung was already exhausted.

"Huh huh…"

I tried to hold on for five minutes, but Hoyoung lost the ball after three minutes.

"Ha~ This is tough."

As expected, Casemiro was a promising prospect representing the U13 league.

Casemiro, who not only has experience but also has the talent of a gifted soccer player (B+), could not have fallen behind in the basics.

In order for Hoyoung to narrow the gap, he had to run as fast as he could since he started later than others.

Investing more effort and time was the royal road.

"Aaaah!"

It was a difficult time, but I persevered by reflecting on this.

You can do it!

Hoyoung trained harder than anyone else as he lagged behind in his career amid the boringly repetitive days.

And as another month passed, I gained confidence in my dribbling and was able to last 5 minutes against Casemiro.

This was thanks to honing my basic skills and making the most of my brilliant talent (C+).

[Select the talent you want to pursue.]

– Decent ball blocking (C)

'Ball blocking is good!'

Each time I brought in one talent at a time, my sense of accomplishment skyrocketed.

It feels like the foundation to become a true professional athlete is slowly being laid.

Now, Hoyoung is slowly showing off in all his training.

And Coach Carlos, who was watching this closely, made a decision.

"It seems like we're slowly getting to a level where we can send it to the league."

"yes. Skills have increased overall. "It's amazing growth."

In fact, Hoyoung's skills have been at a level where he could have been played in league matches since long ago.

But Carlos gave Hoyoung time.

This is because you have to be prepared to deal with children who have thoroughly learned the basics for several months.

And now I decided that all preparations were complete.

"What do you think?"

"Actually, that level is only a handful in the U13 league. But no one knows whether it will work in practice."

"I think so."

"yes?"

"It will work. "Because he has a stage presence."

Carlos dared to be sure.

Looking at Hoyoung's recent form, I couldn't help but have expectations.

"Then let's send it to the next Paulistan exhibition."

"Isn't it an important game?"

"That's what I'm saying."

Time flies by and before you know it, it's Friday, August 1st.

The 23rd round of the U13 weekly league was held, and Sao Paulo FC's opponent was CA Paulistano, who are in 3rd place in the league.

It was a very important game for Sao Paulo FC, which ranked 4th out of 16 teams.

The key was Fabinho, a center back born in 1990 who is Paulistano's ace and the impeccable defense of the U13 league.

"Fabinho is a player with accurate tackling and excellent ball distribution. So you put pressure from the front and open up space by switching plays with Dougie. "You understand, right?"

This was the order Carlos gave to Hoyoung.

Although it was obvious that there was a burden on both shoulders, Hoyoung answered confidently.

"yes!"

Before official debut.

I don't know how long I've been waiting for this moment.

The first game of his career was about to take place.

Hoyoung, who came up to the stadium, let out a sigh.

"Whoa…"

Now that I'm up on the pitch, it finally feels real.

Becoming a soccer player.

As my heart trembled, it soon turned into excitement.

It was a shabby stadium with only stands for spectators, but Hoyoung's enthusiasm was no less than that of a professional athlete.

and.

"good game."

Lee Chae caught the eye of Hoyoung as he shook hands with the sleek-looking opponent.

[Fabinho]

Talents

-Soccer genius (C+)

-Fast motorized legs (B) -Knife

-like ball distribution (C)

-Quite accurate sliding tackle (C-)

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

(Condition 1: Win the game)

(Condition 2: Record 2 attack points)

'Is this an impregnable defense in the U13 league?'

"hmm."

Honestly, it was below expectations.

Or did Hoyoung's eyes get higher?

'Well, Douglas and Casemiro are top prospects who are said to be at the top of the league.'

As I trained with them, my senses became dull.

If so, he might be able to show great success here in the U13 league.

If there's anything I lack, it's physicality and experience.

But there was something overflowing.

Talent.

I ran out onto the field to open it.

The game went fairly tight.

There was a constant battle between each team to take the lead, but there was no feeling that one side had a significant advantage.

But there was one thing Carlos was paying close attention to.

Right when Hoyoung catches the ball.

At that time, his eyes were focused on one place.

'Is it really that kid back then?'

Carlos continued to be impressed.

The image of Hoyoung that we saw last year, where he just hit the ball and ran blindly, was nowhere to be seen.

Instead, there were only top prospects left who understood what soccer was and could use it directly on the field.

If you dribble, if you dribble, if you pass, if you pass, everything exceeds expectations.

He wasn't the Hoyoung he was back then, who didn't do much except hit, run, and shoot.

Not only that, but his defensive skills were also quite outstanding.

His ball blocking and cutting skills are as good as Casemiro's.

It felt like Woo Ho-young was dominating the stadium.

CA Paulistano's key defender Fabinho was unable to keep up with Hoyoung in any aspect.

'The level has gone up a notch.'

Hoyoung's soccer skills have matured in just a few months.

This is what happens when soccer prodigies work hard.

And in the first 15 minutes.

As if the warm-up was over, Hoyoung attempted to break through in earnest.

He laid the foundation for a breakthrough with stable passing play and confused the opposing defense with switching play with Douglas.

As a result, Fabinho's man-to-man defense became meaningless and collapsed helplessly.

Other defenders tried to cling to Hoyoung, but they only brought about regret.

It soon led to an opportunity.

Hoyoung, who received a space pass from Douglas and rushed to the front of the goal, had a one-on-one opportunity.

At that moment, Hoyoung glanced at the opposing keeper and kicked the ball strongly in front with his right ankle.

At the same time, I had a hunch.

'done…!'

It's been 7 months since I came to Brazil.

Although he didn't show it, I don't know how much effort he put in and how much pain he endured for this one shot.

10 weeks at the Academy and 17 weeks at U13.

It was a shot that reflected the effort of the past 27 days.

And the efforts did not betray.

Crash!

The ball shot from Hoyoung's toes hit the right net with the force of tearing up the net.

"Oooooh!"

A gesture that comes from instinct.

Instead of celebrating the rain, Hoyoung ran around the stadium and roared.

A frog that flew to South America soon became a bullfrog.
