All Football Talents Are Mine Chapter 112

112. 1st team training (1)

That evening.

Hoyoung, who was selected as the official MOM by the secretariat, received a reward.

[Choose the talent you want to pursue.]

– Burning desire to win (A+3)

– Sure goal-making ability (A+2)

– Surprising space penetration (A+2)

– Unstoppable boldness (A-)

– (See more )

Willingness to win?

It is certainly an attractive talent, but too much of it is no good.

Sometimes there are people like that.

People who live crazy with the desire to win.

We become so focused on what we see in front of us that we make the mistake of failing to see what is far away.

For example, like Diego Costa in today’s game.

It is said that excessive competitiveness leads to misfortune, excessive boldness leads to mistakes, and excessive confidence degenerates into arrogance.

That is why mentality has a huge impact on players.

Too little is not good, too much is bad.

Fortunately, Hoyoung had just enough to not be lacking.

Therefore, the most desirable thing was an unexpected space penetration (A+2).

[Perfect Space Penetration (S-)↑]

[Perfect Space Penetration (S-) can be transferred to other talents. Do you want to do it?]

“Of course!”

He did not agree and was promoted as is.

Because space penetration was a necessary talent.

‘We should raise only what we need to S rank and put the rest in one place.’

Goal decisiveness, dribbling, skill, ball control, first touch, trapping, mid-distance shooting, free kick heading, etc.

The plan was to prioritize growth in essential talents like the ones above.

Among them, the most important are goal-making ability and first touch, which can be said to be the life of an attacker.

‘I think I’ll be able to get the goal-scoring ability from Ronaldo soon… I need to get the first touch from Bergkamp, but he retired a while ago, so I won’t.’

I heard that he is working as a coach at Ajax, a Dutch first division club, but in fact, other than playing against each other in the Champions League, I have never had a chance to meet him.

‘Then we should at least bring Zidane’s ball trapping.’

This pretty much sums it up.

The conclusion is to strengthen the attack.

Now was a time when choice and concentration were needed.

That’s right, modern soccer is different from the old days.

Training methods have become specialized, tactics have evolved, and the condition of soccer shoes and soccer balls has improved incomparably.

Now was the age of science.

You had to have a play style that matched the trends of the times and, in addition, have your own unique characteristics.

Absolute attack resource.

That was the ultimate goal.

And a few days later.

The Segunda Division Secretariat issued an official opinion regarding Costa’s suspension.

The news was published in the Marca morning tabloid.

[Diego Costa pays the price for unsportsmanlike behavior.

Costa was sent off for punching Ho-Young Woo in the 33rd round of the league match against Castile on the 12th. However, the real problem was his unsportsmanlike behavior, such as protesting violently in front of referee Pedro.

Accordingly, SSD (Segunda Division) imposed additional disciplinary action on Diego Costa on the 15th.

In addition to the existing two-game suspension, he was suspended for one game and fined 3,000 euros, and released an official statement saying that he will be watching his future actions.

In addition, the SSD secretary-general strongly criticized Costa’s actions, saying, “Character is more important than ability.”

Meanwhile, regarding Diego Costa’s claim of ‘Woo Ho-Young’s price of misbehavior’, the video review showed that such a thing had never happened and the controversy was put to rest.]

Costa, who was suspended for two games due to a red card, was suspended for a total of three games, including additional disciplinary action. He became even further away from being the top scorer.

In addition, the muscle behind his thigh was slightly damaged, which hindered his participation in the King’s Cup.

It was truly a series of bad news.

Regarding this, Diego Costa said, “It’s actually nice to be in the spotlight. “We are already receiving interest from many clubs,” he said, showing a neutral attitude.

Although he was the height of shamelessness, in some ways, he was a player with a clear character.

And at that time, Korea was not in chaos.

[Woo Ho-young’s first hat trick in the Spanish 2nd division “I’m thrilled. And I want to achieve more in the future. I think this is just the beginning. “I hope you will keep an eye on it,” he said.]

When this Internet article was featured on the main page of each portal site, numerous comments poured in.

There were a variety of responses, but most of them were praising Hoyoung.

However, some people did not miss mentioning the Olympics.

[Can Woo Ho-young qualify for the 2008 Beijing Olympics?]

└Of course! Here’s what I’ve shown you so far!

└But he is too young; Is there a country where 3rd graders from middle school go to the Olympics? I’m only 15 years old now;;;;;

└Is there a rule that says you can’t go out? A 16-year-old already holds the record for youngest business trip?

└Call for the Olympics quickly~!!! Don’t worry about age or academic background, you have to fill it with good people to get a medal~!!

└Actually, it doesn’t make sense to not be selected. He played a leading role in third place in the U17 World Cup and is currently scoring 20 goals against players in their 20s and 30s in the professional league. There is no minimum age limit for Olympic soccer. In

sports such as gymnastics, marathon, and javelin throwing, there is an age limit for participation considering physical strength and strength.

However, in the case of soccer, any player under the age of 23 can participate, even in kindergarten.

Therefore, Hoyoung also had a possibility.

It was never a lack of skill.

In the case of each national team that would participate in the Beijing Olympics, there were many players who were as good as Spanish second division league players.

For example, the Australia-China-Honduras national team, which is considered the weakest, was worse than Korea.

Currently, coach Park Seong-ho took over the baton of the Korea U23 national team after former coach Pim Verbeek resigned.

Having served as a youth national team coach and national team coach for about 7 years, he was in the process of making an entry into the Olympics through various attempts.

Woo Ho-young’s name was also listed as a candidate.

This time, the wind was blowing toward a new Olympic record.

But that wind was not only blowing in Korea.

Las Rozas de Madrid, Madrid, Spain.

The Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) was hoping that Woo Ho-young would become the first Asian to represent the Spanish national team.

At first, they took a cautious stance due to prejudice against Asians, but after they were confident about Hoyoung’s future, they were putting all their efforts into naturalization.

The work has been in progress since October of last year, but there were many obstacles because Hoyoung’s nationality was Korean.

That was why the executives and staff of the Football Association came to visit Woo Ho-young and Lucci this afternoon.

Originally, Rucci was going to act as a representative, but Hoyoung came along at the request of the association.

The three sat down in Valdebebas’ quiet office.

Hoyoung rubbed his sweaty palms on his pants.

‘I knew this day would come, but…’

As it was approaching, I couldn’t help but feel nervous.

Although I had met Segunda executives and staff before, it was Hoyoung’s first time attending the Royal Spanish Football Association.

It felt strange to meet before the Korea Football Association.

The man who introduced himself as the director of RFEF continued the conversation while admiring Hoyoung’s recent results.

The main topic was definitely about naturalization.

He promised to provide full support until Woo Ho-young becomes a member of the Spanish national team.

But there were many problems.

It is relatively easy for nationals of countries with special agreements with Spain to naturalize, but Hoyoung was a Korean with no significant ties to Spain.

In other words, in order for Hoyoung to be naturalized, he had to live in Spain for 10 years.

The RFEF director gave an explanation regarding this.

“You can’t break the law. However, it does not mean that there is no way.”

“which?”

“If Woo Ho-young has a strong will to become a naturalized player and is promoted to the first team in the future and shows like he is now, it is not entirely possible. “Under the current law, it will take another eight years, but in reality, it won’t take that long.”

“As a rule of thumb, how long will it take?”

“I’m not sure, but if we at the Royal Football Association make continuous efforts, we will see good results. For example, naturalization is approved by royal decree.”

“Hmm…”

Hoyoung’s face didn’t look very good.

They say it like that, but in reality, no one knows whether it will be 3 years or 8 years.

Moreover, even if naturalization was allowed, problems remained.

Even if Hoyoung acquires Spanish nationality, in order to be registered with the Spanish Football Association, he must not have any record of playing in international matches as a representative of the Republic of Korea.

And since Hoyoung is not born with multiple nationalities, he must reside in Spain for five years after turning 18 to be able to play for the Spanish national team.

In other words, even if the naturalization process ends next year, Hoyoung will not be able to participate in any national team games until he is 23 years old.

‘If you want to naturalize as a Spanish citizen, you must give up the 2010 and 2014 World Cups.’

It was too risky to give up those two things.

If you choose Spanish nationality, you will not be able to participate in the World Cup until you are 26 years old.

Hoyoung answered without even having to think deeply.

“I don’t think it’s an issue to be decided right away.”

When I naturalized in Spain, there were many things I could gain as a soccer player, but there were also many things I had to give up.

Unless the FIFA rules are relaxed.

Of course, I don’t know how the regulations will change in the future… but

right now, even if there were two sides of the sky, it was impossible.

The best route is to take advantage of the talents of outstanding players at the 2008 Olympics, advance to the first division, build up their skills, and then participate in the 2010 World Cup.

Therefore, this moment was the most important.

2008 Beijing Olympics.

‘I will definitely go.’

To the Olympic stage, a festival of world athletes.

May 2008.

The 2007-08 season was slowly coming to an end.

Castilla surpassed Celta Vigo and was cruising to 5th place in the league, and Woo Ho-young, the main contributor to the cruising, scored in 4 consecutive games, moving up one level to 2nd place as the top scorer.

The next major match was an away match against Barcelona B scheduled for May 25th.

If we can acquire the talent of promising players such as Alcantara Pedro and Guy Ashlin, all of our goals for this season will be achieved.

This season is almost over.

Meanwhile, the Real Madrid first team, which had confirmed the league championship, was showing a very relaxed attitude, giving opportunities to Spanish prospects.

That was why the first team coaching staff gathered in the Valdebebas conference room today.

Mitchell, the youth manager, said as he took his seat.

“We hope to involve key prospects in first-team training for the remainder of the season.”

“Please make it 3 people. “Several players, including Callejon and Miguel, are already on the training list from Castile, so the number of players is limited.”

“That’s enough.”

“But who? “There won’t be any players under the age of 18 who can make their debut in the remaining league games.”

“That’s not the purpose.”

“sure?”

“The intention is to participate in training to review the possibility of being used as a first-team sub member next season.”

Mitchell said, waving Woo Ho-young’s stat report.
