All Football Talents Are Mine Chapter 355

355. New challenge (1)

After the game ended, the ground was divided into two reactions.

“Woooooooooooooooooo!”

“Khahahahaha!”

“Well done everyone!”

Most of Manchester City’s players, who were enjoying the joy together with the bench members and coaching staff, were screaming with joy.

But there were some who couldn’t do that.

Yaya Toure and Iniesta.

Those who were part of Barcelona just a few years ago were not openly happy.

This is because the opposing camp was so miserable that it was reminiscent of a funeral home.

In particular, Iniesta, who was with them until last year, was hiding his expression out of respect for the opposing players and Barcelona fans.

However, Ronaldinho was an exception.

Having lifted the Big Ear in Barcelona a long time ago, he was enjoying the joy and at the same time encouraging his opponents.

The first target was Lionel Messi.

“Leo, you worked hard.”

Ronaldinho, Messi’s mentor and brother-in-law, patted his shoulder and warmly comforted him.

“Haaa…”

A sigh escaped Messi’s lips.

It was unfair.

25 years old.

At an age that could be considered young, he achieved numerous feats that others could not.

But it wasn’t the best.

Of course, there were many times in my life when I was number one.

When I was young, I was told that I was a soccer prodigy just by dribbling, and when I outgrew my childhood, Barcelona, the most prestigious club, came to scout me.

When I think about it, it was always a life of being number one.

There was nothing to be afraid of.

Even during his teenage years, his growth rate was remarkable and he received a lot of attention from many people.

And after making his debut in the professional world, he reached his peak by being called the ‘God of Soccer’.

The best soccer player in the world.

He was just one step away from earning that title.

Ronaldo, who had already reached the peak of his skills, was blocking his path, but in just a moment, he was able to surpass him and become the best.

But an unexpected obstacle blocked his future.

Woo Ho-young.

His emergence completely changed the landscape of the soccer world.

Even during the Beijing Olympics, I couldn’t even imagine that this would happen.

At that time, I thought I would become the best in the world.

But it turned out that there was a real soccer god.

‘Woo Ho-young…’

When it came to soccer, there used to be a saying about Lionel Messi, but that is no longer the case at all.

Unfortunately, the world did not pay much attention to the second-in-command.

No matter what he did, he was always compared to Woo Ho-young and often ridiculed.

The same goes for this season.

Although he achieved results that even world-class soccer players could not easily dream of, including being the top scorer in the league, breaking his own record in the UEFA Champions League, winning the league with overwhelming results, and winning the King’s Cup, he was still met with ridicule mixed with laughter.

So, for today, I have endured harsh training, shedding blood and sweat.

Although the game dried up after the 20th minute of the first half and the level of activity decreased drastically, I could confidently say that I gave everything I could.

however.

“Hehehe….”

The only thing that came back was defeat.

At that moment, tears appeared in Messi’s eyes.

“Wow.”

As I was held in Ronaldinho’s arms, I became emotional without realizing it.

“are you okay. You did well enough. You showed everything you could show this season. “I just had bad luck.”

“I know… but…”

“Okay, that’s it. Let’s not think beyond that. He is not something that can be solved just because we worry about it. I realized it only after I was on the same team as him. “He went way beyond our common sense.”

Advice regarding Woo Ho-young.

If you think with common sense, it will only be difficult for the parties involved.

As Ronaldinho said, the answer was to just not think about it at all.

“We can do better next time. You are still young. So don’t be too serious.”

“But… Woo Ho-young is much younger than me.”

In other words, it was like saying that if Woo Ho-young does not retire first, he will never be able to beat him.

But then Ronaldinho’s expression suddenly turned serious.

“One day Young said to Azar: Don’t compete, just play soccer. “Play the soccer game you loved as a child.”

“….”

“Do you still enjoy soccer?”

“Ah….”

Messi was unable to answer clearly.

At some point, without realizing it, he was obsessed with keeping Hoyoung in mind.

“If you think of him as competition, it will only make it harder for you.”

Ronaldinho’s sincere advice.

But even that advice could not comfort Messi.

The person who moved his miserable heart was none other than Hoyoung.

“Lionell Messi.”

Woo Ho-young approaches Messi with his head down.

He took off his uniform and held out his hand to Messi.

Then he opened his mouth.

“When I was young, I dreamed of you.”

“…Are you serious?”

“I’m serious. I’ve always thought that way. It’s still the same now. “What a blessing it is to be able to play soccer in the same stadium and at the same time as a great player like you.”

When Hoyoung spoke with sincerity, the atmosphere suddenly changed.

The heavy air seemed to have become completely lighter.

And at that moment, Messi’s hand shot forward.

“thanks.”

It was Messi who shook Hoyoung’s hand and expressed his gratitude.

I finally felt like I was getting some comfort.

Encouragement from the world’s best, Hoyoung Woo.

This is because the level of encouragement given by others was different.

I didn’t know how his one warm word would change Messi’s life in the future, but I was sure of at least one thing.

I want to enjoy soccer.

This means that I need to reconsider my direction as a soccer player.

Afterwards, a grand awards ceremony was held.

“Woooooooooooooooooooooooo!”

The moment Hoyoung lifted the big ear, an enthusiastic voice burst out.

The second big year of my life.

The feeling of lifting it was indescribable.

Moreover, he enjoyed the honor of winning the top award in all competitions he participated in this season, while winning the Champions League MVP and top scorer at the same time.

‘I’ve come this far.’

I had mixed feelings.

I still had a lot left in my soccer career, but for some reason, I suddenly felt like I was almost at the end.

Regardless of the emotions I felt from winning, I suddenly felt like I was in tears.

But then, someone similar to himself was reflected in Hoyoung’s eyes.

It was Guardiola with his hands in his pockets and tears in his eyes.

He was holding back tears, but he couldn’t control his emotions.

That’s because he defeated Barcelona, his former team, and ascended to the throne.

I had mixed feelings.

It felt as if the moments of hardship he had endured were coming upon him.

At that moment, Hoyoung went there and opened his mouth.

“Director. Congratulations. And thank you for your hard work.”

right.

Guardiola was now a master who had set great records that no one could dare imitate.

And he thought it was all thanks to Woo Ho-young.

“thanks. “I will never forget this moment until I die.”

“Same.”

Thank you.

That was all Guardiola could say.

[Manchester City rises to the ranks of the best clubs of all time just two years after winning all titles]

Articles announcing Manchester City’s great feat were printed in newspapers around the world.

Fittingly, Manchester City enjoyed the biggest boom in history.

Approximately 56 billion won in broadcasting rights fees for winning the EPL.

EPL joint distribution of approximately 130 billion won.

Approximately 75 billion won distributed according to the number of TV broadcasts.

Manchester City earned approximately 261 billion won in broadcasting rights from the EPL alone.

In addition, including the FA Cup and League Cup, it reaches 300 billion won.

In addition, by winning the Champions League, they earned a profit of 172 billion won, including broadcasting rights fees, national broadcasting revenue, and championship prize money from ticket sales.

In fact, most of this could be said to be the profits made by Woo Ho-young.

Accordingly, Mansour went to Manchester and had a meeting with Hoyoung.

He held up a map of the city of Manchester and pointed to a huge site.

“Do you see here?”

“yes.”

“Take it.”

“yes?”

“It will be your house from today.”

“….”

“If you don’t like it, let me know.”

“Is that possible?…”

A spacious garden with perfect left-right symmetry and a large fountain in the middle of it.

Behind it, there was a mansion that resembled a cathedral.

It was like a drama.

I already thought Mansour would do something this time, but I never imagined that he would give me an entire mansion as a gift.

It looked better than the 15 billion won Beckingham Palace where David Beckham lived in Manchester a long time ago.

“Isn’t the place you live in now given away by the club? “Take this opportunity to move by yourself.”

“thank you. But still…”

Hoyoung refused for now.

It wasn’t that he, who earned about 60 billion won a year, couldn’t buy a house because he didn’t have money.

The only reason I couldn’t buy a house was because I wasn’t sure if I would still be in Manchester in the future.

In other words, it was because of the burden.

But Mansour seemed to understand it all.

“If it’s a burden or something like that, don’t be burdened and just have it. Wherever you go, it would be nice to have a villa in England.”

gift.

It had no further meaning.

Even if you only calculate the profit that Ho-Young Woo brought to the club, it was only a small amount of money.

Not only did economic profits rise, but Mansour’s external image and the value of all the companies he ran increased.

In addition, being the leader of FIFA was one of the great benefits.

So this much was enough.

Mansour then asked:

“What are your future plans?”

“Hmm… First of all, I plan to lightly participate in the world tour charity event. “With many legendary soccer players.”

“No, next season.”

Mansour threw a fastball.

Will you stay next season or are you thinking of leaving?

In fact, the original promise Hoyoung and Mansour made was for one year.

But two years passed.

Moreover, it was no exaggeration to say that he had achieved everything he could at the club.

Of course, Mansour didn’t want to let Hoyoung go, but he wasn’t a person who didn’t keep his promises.

If Hoyoung decided to leave, I would gladly let him go, and if he decided to stay, I planned to treat him like never before.

To this, Hoyoung answered briefly.

“Thank you for always caring.”

It wasn’t the time to give a definite answer yet.

Because I couldn’t see even an inch ahead.

Hoyoung decided to put aside his worries and enjoy this moment.

One thing is clear: there is still a long way to go.

I just silently moved towards that path.

After the finals, Hoyoung received a lot of praise from all over the place.

With numerous advertising offers and ransom prices skyrocketing, existing contracts were renewed for higher amounts.

The good news didn’t stop there.

The best thing of all was that Monica was selected for the national team and was able to participate in the 2012 London Olympics.

But a few days later, amazing news came that surpassed all of that.

lazy afternoon.

It was a call from Hoyoung’s agent, Lucci.

-My name is Alfonso, Chairman of the National Competitiveness Reinforcement Committee of the Spanish Athletics Federation.

There are about three months left until the London Olympics.

A new opportunity has opened up for Hoyoung.

The limits of superhumanity.

I didn’t know that it would be a good opportunity to go beyond that and go to the end.
