GOAT: All Football Talents Are Mine

Hoyoung had already had a feeling the day before that he would win the Golden Ball.

This is because Coach Carlos said it with confidence.

There were concerns that he would receive low scores because he was a foreigner and not a Brazilian, but Hoyoung was none other than the protagonist of the championship.

There could be no difference of opinion.

Therefore, I was able to decide which talent to choose the night before.

The soccer genius (A-).

Above all, as now is a time to focus on growth, talent that can help with growth was by far the No. 1 priority.

Unless you can obtain L-level talent.

However, there was one area of concern.

Here, if the existing soccer prodigy (B+2) is absorbed into the soccer genius, the hardships raised so far will become meaningless.

But what is this?

[Soccer Gifted (B+3)↑]

[Soccer Genius (A-)↑]

As expected, the level of talent was promoted.

[Soccer Genius (A)↑]

An unexpected result occurred.

The sum of the two was A, not A-!

"Oh…"

Hoyoung cried out in joy as he tightly held the Golden Ball trophy he received from the federation president.

'It was a huge hit.'

I was secretly looking forward to it, but I had no idea it would actually happen.

But I had doubts about liking it so much.

'Something's a little strange.'

(A-)+(A-) is A, but (B+2)+(A-) is also A?

Isn't that absurd?

Hoyoung was not an idiot who could not notice such a thing.

'That means…'

Considering the process through which talent has developed so far, I was able to roughly deduce the calculation method.

'hmm. There are too many variables though.'

It may not be exact, but one thing is certain.

The fact is that Patu's talent was very high among A-levels.

That's why he was able to become Class A by combining with Hoyoung's B+2.

Anyway, the important thing is that the efforts so far were not in vain.

Now that I've figured it out, it's done.

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

'This is taking quite a long time.'

There are 30 days left to become the best prospect in Asian history.

and.

'not much left.'

Professional soccer.

I had a gut feeling that there were only a few steps left until my debut.

I was only eleven years old, but it didn't feel that far away.

'The world's youngest record was 13 years old.'

I remember exactly.

A soccer prodigy who emerged from Argentina, Messi's country, in 2016.

The boy, named Roa, made his debut in the Argentine league at the age of just 13.

In addition, numerous records exist in the world.

Hoyoung had such a bright future that he could change them all.

However, there was a condition.

'You must have the minimum physical strength.'

There would be no coach who would put a 150cm tall boy on the professional soccer stage.

I may surpass 160 next year, but it's not just about being tall.

First of all, physical strength was basic, and I had to develop the skills to withstand a physical fight with an adult.

In that sense, this preseason was very important.

bifurcation.

Would you rather spend a few more years at the youth level or become a professional player even a year earlier?

A quick debut is not necessarily a good thing, but being qualified was a very important factor.

'You must be busy.'

It seemed like the pre-season would be busier than the regular season.

Saturday, November 8, 2003.

The end of the second semester in Brazil.

Hoyoung arrived in South Korea, where cool autumn winds occasionally blew.

I was able to return home for free thanks to a plane ticket provided by Lucas Kim, a local support officer for foreigners.

It is said to be a type of preferential treatment given to Hoyoung, who helped the team win the championship. From what I heard, it was given directly by the club's leadership.

Excited!

Everything felt real.

How great was your performance this year?

and.

"Let's see~"

Hoyoung, who came out of the immigration gate carrying a heavy backpack, quickly turned his head.

It was right then.

A smile bloomed on Hoyoung's lips.

"Hoyoung!"

Seeing his family's faces for the first time in 9 months made Hoyoung smile.

"Ugh, dad's beard."

"Hehehe. "When did my son grow up like this?"

After Woo Hwang-seon's cheek rubbing, hug time with Kim Hee-seon was waiting.

"my baby. Was it hard? "You had a hard time."

The family reunion ended with Kim Hee-sun in tears.

And now it was the moment when I was about to leave the airport to go eat something delicious.

"hello!"

What is it again this time?

A man in his mid-20s with a camera on his shoulder and a notebook in his hand.

You can tell just by looking at that.

"Are you a reporter?"

"Ah haha. yes. Hello father and mother. "My name is Hwang Tae-seok, a reporter for Daily Sports."

There was an interview with a reporter about how he came to know about it.

If you don't mind, I earnestly asked for a brief interview, so Hoyoung said he would understand.

However, as I wanted to spend time with my family, I ended the interview in 3 minutes and left.

Today was the best day.

The best thing was that I was able to eat as much as I wanted.

You don't know how much I miss Korean food.

And after dinner, we spent some leisurely time at home.

As it was a vacation given once a year, I planned to go back after fully recharging.

The house I returned to after a long time still felt cozy.

The only thing that had changed was my three-year-old younger brother, who had grown significantly.

"Hey."

"Hoil. "Let's sleep with my brother today."

"ok."

"You will be proud of your brother later."

"ok?"

"By the time you reach elementary school, I will be playing for a famous club. Hehehe. "Everyone would probably be surprised if they told you that your brother is friends with Messi."

There was one more thing that changed.

The number of fan cafe members, which had been 1,000, had already surpassed 20,000.

In Brazil, I didn't know much about it because I was so focused on soccer that I didn't use the Internet, but from what I could see, there was a person who contributed greatly to the revival of fan cafes.

[Writer: Powerhyung]

-Hello. Howoowoowooyoung fan cafe news source power type. I brought you good news today too. According to sources, Hoyoung will likely skip a grade soon.

└Is it true?!

└Following the Golden Ball, skipping a grade!

└So are you going to U14 now?

└ I guess there won't be U14?

└Gasp! It's so awesome~!

"What is this person? Are you the owner of the club?"

Skipping a grade was something that even Hoyoung, the person involved, had never heard of.

"Fuhahaha!"

It was a sight that made me laugh as I was an anti-fan who turned into a passionate fan.

"Hoyoung?"

It was Kim Hee-sun who stopped Ho-young from laughing.

The couple who came into the room next was holding Hoyoung's backpack.

"What is all this?"

"Oh. "That's money."

What Hoyoung literally had in his backpack was money.

Not just a penny or two, but a bunch.

It was a bundle of bright cabbage-colored 10,000 won bills.

Kim Hee-seon said as if admonishing him.

"Hoyoung. Who doesn't know that? "You're asking where this money came from."

"Why didn't this person ask? My wonderful son probably brought it to show his filial piety. haha!"

Kim Hee-seon has worried eyes and Woo Hwang-seon asks playfully.

And Woo Ho-young answers them both.

"that's right."

"Yes?"

"that's right. "It's a return gift."

money is best

Chief among them is cash.

The 5 million won that Hoyoung prepared as a return gift was like a fortune to the couple.

To the surprised couple, Hoyoung clearly revealed the source of the money.

The 5 million won was a lump sum collected from various allowances and performance bonuses.

In particular, the championship prize money is divided into 5 levels considering the players' contribution, and Hoyoung received the highest grade and was able to receive a prize worth 4 million won.

"How can a child be so amazing?"

"It's because he's our son. "It's a fortune, it's a fortune."

The couple lying in bed could not close their eyes.

The amount of money was a small amount, but it was amazing that my young son had such an idea.

"After all, the eldest son is the eldest son."

"But how can you think like that… Hoyoung needs to get some savings, honey."

"Hehe. You're wiser than me so you can figure it out. "Are the kids sleeping?"

It was a night where smiles never left.

And the next morning.

"Hoyoung, Hoyoung?"

Hoyoung opened his eyes at the sound of Kim Hee-seon's voice.

"Hmm. Yes… just 5 more minutes…"

"I got a call from the director?"

"yes?!"

Hoyoung's eyes sparkled.

"Coach Carlos? "The season is over, why?!"

"No, Director Cha. "If it's okay, he wants to see you today."

"ah!"

'right. He told me to contact you when I return.'

12 am.

Sunday morning suddenly became busy.

Hoyoung went down to Suwon with Woo Hwang-seon.

This is because Cha Bum-gon, who is scheduled to take over as coach of Suwon Shinseong Bluewings next year, was there.

It took 30 minutes by car to arrive at a quiet Korean restaurant near Suwon.

It was Cha Beom-gon's desire to treat guests well.

"Hoyoung, thank you for your hard work."

"thank you!"

"haha. Yes, eat a lot. "Are there any additional schedules yet?"

"yes."

Cha Beom-gon knew Hoyoung's future schedule because they had been in constant contact with him even when he was in Brazil.

That was the reason why I asked to see you today.

"father. As I said before, going abroad will be a good experience for Hoyoung. Since it is preseason, there is a lot of time. How are you, Hoyoung? Do you want to join the Dream Tree Expedition?"

"Dream Tree… Expedition?"

This is my first time hearing this.

Woo Hwang-seon already knew, but didn't tell him during the season because he was afraid it would interfere with Ho-young's performance.

Cha Beom-gon explained it very briefly.

"Starting on the 18th of next month?"

"okay."

Dream Tree Expedition.

This was a project promoted by Cha Bum-gon and the Korea Football Association with the support of Shinsung Group, and it was an overseas expedition of FC Dream, comprised of aspiring players who will take responsibility for the future of Korean football.

The team, comprised of elite members, was scheduled to participate in a small-scale youth competition.

The players are under 13 years of age.

The period is from December 18th to January 17th of the following year.

It was a great opportunity that Hoyoung, who had no schedule, could not miss.

All you have to do is tell the club in advance.

"But can anyone go? me too?"

"Inseok. Didn't the director somehow leave your seat empty?"

"Haha. thank you."

The expedition team was scheduled to consist of 11 winners of the Cha Bum-gon Football Award and 3 people recommended by the Korea Football Association, but Cha Bum-gon was planning to recommend Hoyoung for that position.

Although he did not have a good relationship with the leadership of the Korea Football Association, he had enough power to do so.

"Then let's do that?"

"yes. "I really want to go!"

There was absolutely no reason to refuse when they took care of me like this.

"But you just go there and compete?"

"We will compete, train with the promising players there, and watch soccer games."

"oh…!"

Thump thump!

When the story of this promising heartthrob came up, I couldn't stand it anymore and started shaking.

"Which team are we playing with?"

"Hehe. Are you curious about that already?"

of course.

Of course I couldn't help but be curious.

The expedition region is a country with a deep connection to Cha Beom-gon.

A paradise for prospects.

Because it was Germany.
