029. A place overflowing with dreams and talent (3) When
Hoyoung’s shot shook the net, laughter bloomed on the Dream Tree Expedition bench.
However, there was only one person who could not smile comfortably.
Cha Doo-rim.
It was an embarrassing enough situation for him, as Eintracht Frankfurt was the home team.
Still, it was so good that the corners of my mouth turned up slightly.
“Father. The future of Korea is bright. When will I be selected for the national team? 7 years? “8 years?”
Currently, the record for the youngest national team member is held by Kim Pang-gon, who debuted in 1983.
At the time, he was only 17 years old.
“hmm. I think it’s possible…”
“Take care of yourself, kid.”
Cha Beom-gon said jokingly.
“It’s all pointless.”
It was still too early to discuss it.
Like a round ball not knowing where it will roll.
A man who worked in a factory could become the EPL’s top scorer, or
a super-talented prospect who thought he could represent his country could fall into a mediocre player.
No one knows the future.
“Dad, don’t you still have feelings? “You’re also good at soccer.”
“Look at Pele. “It’s all wrong.”
“ah. yes.”
Cha Doo-rim immediately closed his mouth.
Then Cha Beom-gon opened his mouth.
“But that kid feels good.”
“why?”
“You work hard. till now.”
There is no cure for a lazy genius.
In that respect, Hoyoung showed potential.
Slosh!
9 minutes in the first half.
The second goal was scored less than 10 minutes after the game started.
It was a mid-range shot from Hoyoung’s right foot.
‘The ball is hitting my foot hard.’
His mid-distance shooting talent, which had grown to C+3, was more complete.
‘But this time it went up quickly. ‘Only about 3 months?’
Even with the same mid-range shot, it feels like skill builds up differently depending on the situation.
In my experience, it seemed like using it in real life was more helpful for growth than practicing alone.
Therefore, it was necessary to conduct various experiments during this expedition.
If we maintain this sense, we may be able to achieve it by the start of the new season next year.
Grade B!
You can do it.
…if you work hard.
The game progressed interestingly.
Unlike the first half, where the away team was unilaterally dominant, the home team launched a counterattack in the second half.
The reason it was possible was because of none other than a boy.
“Woo Ho-young, that friend. “You save your stamina.”
This was what coach Frankfurt said, referring to Hoyoung.
Physical fitness management.
Hoyoung, who was flying back and forth between offense and defense in the first half, was only concentrating on attack.
It was a physical plan for the remaining games.
If I wanted to, I would run with all the strength I had, but I didn’t think there was any need to be stubborn even in a friendly match.
There are more than one promising player who overworked his body and ended up scoring a goal.
‘There’s no harm in being careful.’
Thinking like that, Hoyoung caught the ball again.
14 minutes in the second half.
Hoyoung, who received the ball from the fullback, used his footwork and sneakily escaped the pressure.
Although it is said to be only a (C+2) level flashy talent, there are many people here who don’t even have that level.
In addition, isn’t it a dribble that is imbued with the ‘rhythmic flexibility’ that Brazil’s special talent possesses?
Opposing players had to experience frustration every time Hoyoung caught the ball.
Tuk.
Ssuk!
“Ah!”
When Hoyoung changed direction with a slight body fake as if he was about to dribble, the opposing defender lost his balance and fell.
Hoyoung could see the frustration on the boy’s face.
‘I did that last year.’
The frustration I felt when we were drawn against Germany’s Schutgart.
In a way, it was a kind of revenge(?) as it was returned intact to another German team.
‘I guess my skills have improved a lot.’
I didn’t realize it during the season, but now that I’m here, I can definitely feel it.
Myself, who has grown rapidly in just one year.
And the fact that it was never created in a day.
Body painting and basic dribbling using control of body balance.
It was almost like I was grinding my teeth when I thought about how much training I had to do for this seemingly simple movement.
And the same goes for shooting practice.
Hoyoung coolly poured out the skills he had accumulated through hard work and sweat.
Crash!
Soon after, the third goal, a hat trick, came from Hoyoung’s toes.
It was a cool shot made right in front of the goal.
“Huh!”
A literal tour of the ceremony that is being held for the first time in a while.
Hoyoung was good at some things, but the low level of Eintracht Frankfurt U13 also played a role.
This is because children who were already good skipped the grade to U15, and the current U13 player base was greatly weakened.
“Nice~.”
The children of the expedition team began to congratulate Hoyoung on his goal.
“Did you put it in again?”
“I guess learning soccer in Brazil is different.”
“no.”
“then?”
“He was originally good….”
Seok Hyeong-jun, who had already provided 2 assists to Ho-young, was saying.
“He was originally good, but he got even better… He was like a monster…”
Seok Hyeong-jun was jealous of Ho-young.
Even though I wasn’t skilled, I thought I was much taller, but now that I look back, it wasn’t really true.
Hoyoung had grown a good 15cm in one year.
“Monstrous gnome….”
“Oh bro! “Did you call me?”
“Yeah dude! Let’s score one more goal!”
The game loosened up a bit at the end of the second half.
Taking advantage of that opportunity, Peniel Mrapa gave the home team their first goal with a header.
The problem is that the final whistle sounded at the same time.
BB-I-IK –
The Dream Tree Expedition won the game 4-1.
Although it was a friendly match, if one had to choose the Man of the Match award, it should have been Hoyoung, who achieved 3 goals and 1 assist.
But it didn’t matter if I didn’t receive that.
Because I got something more valuable.
[Select the talent you want to pursue.]
– Decent heading (C+)
‘Decent heading is good.’
That wasn’t the end.
[Choose the talent you want to pursue.]
-Strong body (B+)
-Decent stamina (C-)
Cha Doo-rim’s talent.
‘No need to worry.’
Hoyoung chose a strong body.
My guess is that it seems like a talent that improves overall physicality, and it also seems like it will be an excellent help in preventing injuries.
[It takes 4 days to fully import the talent. You cannot pursue other talents for 4 days.]
“Oh.”
As I coveted talent, an unfamiliar energy began to well up from within.
It was a similar feeling to when I got the quick leg talent from Douglas.
‘good. ‘Intermediate inspection here.’

It’s been a year since I coveted talent.
1 grade U, 2 grade A, 3 grade B, 10 grade C.
A total of 16 talents were obtained.
I don’t know if this will increase to the point where it will fill your eyes.
‘I hope so.’
The more the better!
I wanted to covet every talent that exists in the world.
So this year, let’s start with Germany’s promising players, step by step.
‘I’m looking forward to my next opponent.’
The next destination is the largest city and capital of Bavaria, southern Germany, which takes 4 hours to arrive by bus.
It was Munich.
The expedition team arrived at their destination and first unpacked their luggage at their accommodation.
The Goliath of German soccer that dominates Europe beyond the Bundesliga and a huge engine that powers a tank corps.
It was a lodging attached to the training ground of Bayern Munich (Fußball-Club Bayern Munchen).
The expedition team was scheduled to stay here until the Continental Championship began, but there was plenty of time left.
Therefore, in addition to training, many other schedules were prepared.
I was planning to watch the Bayern Munich first team’s home game in four days and visit a soccer-related tourist attraction this morning.
It was to motivate players to achieve their dreams.
The children of the expedition visited nearby tourist attractions under the protection of parents who paid their own expenses to follow them.
Of course, Hoyoung had to be looked after by other parents.
But I received too much care.
Although it may have been a hassle to take care of their own children, the parents stepped up and took care of Hoyoung.
Hoyoung was that popular.
Aside from being dignified and smart, he is exceptionally good at soccer.
As a parent whose child is an aspiring soccer player, how good would it be if your son was friendly with the top student in his school?
I’m feeling it intuitively.
This kid will be a star in the future!
“I don’t know how our Hoyoung is so polite~ Hoyoung, would you like some sausage?”
“yes. Thank you.”
The German sausages sold on the street were really delicious.
It was plump and juicy, no joke.
‘I guess this is Germany.’
It felt that way again, and only then did I begin to see the surrounding scenery.
As a city called a toy town, it had a strong feel like an old-fashioned European village.
As it was my first time here, there were a lot of things I felt.
As I’m doing this, I feel like I’ve been running too fast.
However, I went back to the hotel with the VJ as soon as I finished lunch under the excuse that I was tired because I was going to a memorial hall in the afternoon.
Art Museum Museum Memorial Hall.
Because my tastes are far from that.
At that time, I wanted to talk about my future with Cha Beom-gon.
Bayern Munich’s training center Sabener Straße.
Training in preparation for the Bundesliga league match was in full swing at the tactical training field.
However, there was a young man in his late 20s that I was reminded of earlier.
“Really?”
“That’s right. “I heard he’s coming to watch our next game.”
A legendary soccer player from the East who dominated the Bundesliga.
Chabum.
The young man was extremely excited by the news that he was now at the Seebener Strasse Training Center.
“But is he that great?”
The person who asked that question was Bastian Schweinsteiger, who debuted with the team last year.
Then the young man answered.
“He’s a legendary player. Bastian You may not sympathize with me because you are young, but I grew up watching Cha Boom play. “He is my idol.”
Unlike Schweinsteiger, the young man was a personal fan of Cha Bum-gon.
In particular, he admired Cha Beom-gon to the extent that even the media called him his idol.
It was only natural that the young man headed to his dorm to meet Cha Beom-gon as soon as morning training was over.
I had already told him that I wanted to meet him and had even accepted to come visit him at any time.
The young man borrowed an electric cart from the training camp and went to the dormitory camp in Building D where Cha Beom-gon was staying.
“hmm?”
‘I guess there’s someone else waiting besides me.’
Outside the building.
A boy was pacing around waiting for an answer to the intercom.
The young man got off the electric cart and approached the boy.
And he spoke in German.
“hi?”
“omg.”
A boy who saw the face of a young man.
Hoyoung was astonished.
