All Football Talents Are Mine Chapter 356

356. New Challenge (2)

Manchester, England.

A guest came to Hoyoung’s mansion.

It was Chairman Alfonso and his entourage who had called Rucci a few days ago.

“nice to see you. Alfonso is the chairman of the National Competitiveness Reinforcement Committee of the Spanish Athletics Federation.”

It was something I never expected to come directly from there.

The National Competitiveness Enhancement Committee was an organization I had never heard of before.

At least I made an appointment because I had heard the story in advance over the phone. Otherwise, I would have known that it was related to politics.

“I’m always cheering and watching the game closely. I also enjoyed this Champions League very well. “Especially when we defeated Barcelona, I felt so relieved.”

“thank you. “Thanks to everyone for their support.”

“haha. As I heard, you are even humble. “It is an honor to meet you.”

“Nice to meet you too.”

Chairman of the Strengthening Committee.

As the undisputed head of a national organization, he constantly praised Hoyoung and created a good atmosphere.

That’s because Hoyoung is currently the second biggest sports star in Spain after Nadal.

In particular, in Spain, sports stars have a significant influence on society, so Alfonso, who works in the same industry, had no choice but to automatically become B.

“In fact, our committee had a lot of concerns before making this decision. But I felt confident after watching the Champions League final. “I am saying that Woo Ho-young must be selected as a member of the national Olympic team.”

Selection for the Olympic national team.

That was the only purpose of Alfonso’s visit.

It was a ridiculous proposal for Hoyoung, who had a close to 100% chance of being selected for the Spanish Olympic national soccer team, but it turned out that he was not talking about soccer.

Like the Spanish Athletics Federation, they wanted to elect Hoyoung as the national track and field athlete.

In fact, the possibility of Hoyoung being selected for the track and field team has been mentioned for a long time.

Because he was fast enough to be in the rankings even if he went to the Olympics right away.

Then, through this Champions League final, the possibility has greatly increased.

It was worth it, as it was proven that the running speed shown in that game was faster than that of Usain Bolt.

You will only know once you go to the track, but based on the currently recorded numbers, Hoyoung was one step ahead.

That is why the Spanish Athletics Federation wanted Hoyoung selected for the national team.

It was definitely a good opportunity for Hoyoung.

Challenging new areas.

It was clear that as the scope of challenges increased, the range of talents that could be coveted would also increase.

“Are you saying you want to elect me or are you saying you can?”

“Of course it’s the latter. As I said on the phone, all preparations have been completed on our side. What remains is Woo Ho-young’s decision. How could we suddenly make a proposal like this without even preparing for it? In fact, we had a lot of worries because Woo Ho-young was very busy with the Euro 2012 and Olympic soccer schedules. So I finished all the preparations. “The compensation was also prepared beyond imagination.”

Everything was perfect.

Alfonso has already finished coordinating with the Spanish Sports Council and the Spanish Football Association and has adjusted the schedule in a way that is as comfortable as possible for Hoyoung.

This was a natural matter since this was a national business and not a child’s play.

“In other words, it is a matter that Woo Ho-young only needs to agree to.”

Alfonso spoke in a confident tone.

However, Hoyoung wanted to make one thing more clear.

“Are there any problems with my selection to the national track and field team?”

Multiple appearances were irrelevant.

This is because, if capable, one person can compete in multiple events.

However, what Hoyoung was worried about was the issue of ‘qualification’.

Usually, the Olympic national team is selected through various competitions, but in the case of Spain, the national team is selected by adding up the ranking points from domestic and international competitions.

However, naturally, Hoyoung has never participated in a related competition.

But in such a situation, being selected for the national team?

Even though the selection of the national team was at the discretion of the state, it was against fairness to blindly select Hoyoung, who had no qualifications.

That was exactly what Hoyoung was worried about.

In other words, confidence was needed.

In response to this, Alfonso confidently took out his business card and showed it.

“That’s why we have the Reinforcement Committee.”

Strengthening Committee.

Alfonso’s opinion was that for the sake of the country’s competitiveness, national representatives could be selected through recommendations from the committee or director.

Of course, this was also bound to cause noise during the selection process.

But there was nothing to worry about.

“Public sentiment is unconditionally on Woo Ho-young’s side. “Many people are already eagerly waiting for Woo Ho-young to be selected for the national track and field team.”

However, in the case of track and field or shooting, if you do not meet the world standard records, you cannot participate in the Olympics even if you want to.

Therefore, I had to participate in a domestic competition to be held two months later.

“That means there’s still a spot open for me.”

“That’s right.”

“Then why haven’t you chosen any players yet? “There are only three months left until the Olympics.”

“We always had Woo Ho-young in mind as the right person.”

Hoyoung’s place was saved until the end for this moment.

“But you’ll need time to train. Can I keep up with everything on my schedule? I am planning to participate in a charity world tour starting this week. Moreover, starting next month, I have to train with the Spanish national team in preparation for Euro 2012.”

That was Hoyoung’s worry.

He was unable to make an easy decision due to concerns that his multiple appearances would cause harm to other players.

However, Alfonso showed an expression that showed there was no problem at all.

“Of course I know. But is there a need for separate training? If I just went out and ran right now, I could break the world record. There is no need to worry. We will tailor all schedules to Woo Ho-young. “Isn’t soccer the most important priority?”

“Thank you for your understanding.”

If Hoyoung was sure of that part, there was absolutely no reason for him to refuse.

But before that, there was one thing I needed to point out.

“I’d like to hear about the reward you mentioned earlier.”

If there is something to give, there must also be something to receive.

Of course, there was a high probability that Hoyoung would be able to acquire various talents through that process.

But that and the committee’s compensation were separate.

It didn’t matter if I didn’t receive it, but I had to listen to it since they mentioned it first.

“I will gratefully accept anything, but if it is too much for me to accept, I will politely decline. That could be a burden to me.”

The same was true for Mansour’s gift this time.

Although it was semi-compulsory, it was true that it was a burden.

That’s why Hoyoung wanted to know in advance.

What is that reward?

however.

“!”

What Alfonso said next was beyond imagination.

To put it simply, it was too much compensation to be easily received.

But it didn’t seem polite to decline it either.

So Hoyoung asked.

“Is that true?”

“Yes, the King himself promised.”

Perhaps the highest honor that can be enjoyed as a citizen of a country.

After pondering this, Hoyoung smiled slightly and answered.

“Then please take care of me.”

The multi-event participation process was conducted in secret.

For Hoyoung’s safety, it was not planned to be revealed to the media until the Olympic team was confirmed.

But news about him came out in just a few days.

[Woo Ho-young raises the possibility of having multiple appearances in track and field and soccer for the first time in history… Some are spreading rumors that it is already confirmed]

└Wow… What kind of windfall is Spain? You have to win at least two gold medals. Soccer and athletics.

└You idiot, is there only one track and field? If you stick to the schedule, you can win more than that. Woo Ho-young Because I have physical strength.

└Big! If it’s true, Spain’s ranking will go up a bit this time?

└Assuming you make it to the soccer finals, you can run 100 meters, 200 meters, 400 meters, 800 meters, and 1,600 meters in track and field. Oh, you can also run a marathon on the last day. Of course, I may not be able to handle it all due to my physical strength.

A lot of attention was paid to this unprecedented event in history.

And it wasn’t just netizens who reacted to the news.

[Usain Bolt “You may not know it in the field, but I’m faster on the track. What is more important than unofficial records is practice and experience. “I’m still the fastest man in the world.”]

└Yes, I’m faster than you.

└If you just calculate the speed per hour, there’s a difference of more than 3 kilometers. Under the same conditions, I think Woo Ho-young could win by a few seconds

. └I can hear Bolt riding a rope up to here haha

. └But Usain Bolt keeps breaking records, right? Maybe it will be the fight of the century.

└But isn’t it usually faster to run on the track than on the field?

└The key is how quickly Woo Ho-young adapts to the track.

Usain Bolt is said to have reached the limits of humanity.

And Woo Ho-young, who is said to have reached the realm of God.

The fight between the two attracted the attention of people around the world even before it took place.

But it was forgotten faster than expected.

It was buried in an issue that popped up a few days later.

[Woo Ho-young, Lothar Matheus, and Ruud Gullit will participate in the charity match. A large number of soccer legends from around the world are expected to participate…. Legends who dominated the 20th century are also scheduled to participate in the event as special players…. Bayern Munich Starting with, on the 3rd day, we plan to leave for Ajax in the Netherlands]

[The participation list for ‘Match for Children’ hosted by UNICEF and legendary soccer players has been confirmed. Additionally, other players may be added in the future, and all profits from the game will be used for UNICEF’s children’s charity fund.

Tickets for the first match, ‘Allianz Arena’ in Munich, Germany, are already sold out, and the ticket price alone is known to be at least 800 euros.] Although it

was only a charity match, the ticket price was KRW 120 . Fans’ expectations were so high that the price was worth 10,000 won.

This is because there was the advantage of being able to see with one’s own eyes a game in which old legends and current top legends played together.

Moreover, since it was the largest charity event in history, interest was greater than ever.

The Legend Team’s first tour opponent is FC Bayern Munich, the absolute powerhouse of the German Bundesliga and the eternal powerhouse of Europe.

Bayern Munich’s honorary president and legend Franz Beckenbauer and Gerd Müller, one of the best central strikers in history, were scheduled to make special appearances.

The players who will participate in the legendary team named ‘FC For Children’ were as follows.

[FC For Children]

Goalkeeper: Oliver Kahn (42) Peter Schmeichel (48)

Defender: Cafu (41) Paolo Maldini (43) Alessandro Nesta (36) Jaap Stam (39) Fabio Cannavaro (38)

Midfielder: Ruud Gullit (49) ) Lothar Matheus (51. Captain) Michael Ballack (35) Luis Figo (39) Zinedine Zidane (39) David Beckham (37)

Forwards: Marco van Basten (47) George Weah (45) Ho-Young Woo (18)

An all-time lineup.

The manager there was Alexson Ferguson.

In other words, this was the biggest opportunity of Hoyoung’s life.
