All Football Talents Are Mine Chapter 53

The Brazilian U15 national league has been running for 9 months, with

the end slowly in sight (4) .

The long journey finally came to an end, but Hoyoung felt strange.

It would be a lie if I said I had no regrets or regrets.

It was a relief, but a feeling of regret remained.

If I had focused more at that time and worked harder, I would have achieved better results.

It is a disease that anyone with a competitive spirit is likely to suffer from.

However, I thought that Hoyoung was able to achieve such results because of his earnestness.

When I think back to the past, I felt so dizzy that my head fell out.

This season has been that difficult.

That’s why I will miss you.

therefore.

“Championship!!”

“Waaaaaaaa!!”

Enjoy today.

38 matches, 25 wins, 8 draws, 5 losses, 87 points, 39 conceded.

The points accumulated through hard work in each game resulted in the championship trophy.

The players enjoyed the joy of holding the trophy.

Only anger and joy remained on the field.

Neymar, who cannot shake off his anger, and Woo Ho-young, who is lying on the floor.

Hoyoung was so happy that he sold his hat, but he didn’t even have the strength to get up.

Because I literally squeezed out all the strength I had from breastfeeding.

A sweet taste rose from the tip of my tongue and my lips trembled.

I closed my eyes, basking in the hot sunlight falling on my face.

It was great to win the game, but there was one thing that needed to be addressed.

‘Storm dribble.’

Today was the first time it was shown in full force.

The effect was the best, but the side effects were also severe.

‘I need to build up my stamina and body a little more, otherwise it will spread quickly.’

When using soccer skills, whether dribbling or shooting, your body will inevitably be overworked.

That’s why I had to train my body.

‘Before that, today, let’s start with this…’

[Choose the talent you want to pursue.]

-Excellent passing (B+2)

-Solid fundamentals (B)

The talent of a jailer.

When he chose an excellent pass (B+2), a shadow fell over Hoyoung’s face.

It was Brenu, whose eyes were red and bloodshot and looked like he was about to burst into tears.

But he didn’t cry.

He then stretched out his hand and helped Hoyoung up, suppressing his overflowing emotions and saying.

“Thank you Hoyoung.”

How much pain must it have been?

Hoyoung, who couldn’t have known how he felt, felt his nose turn cold for no reason.

As my heart began to heat up, I hugged Hoyoung this time.

“Good job to all of us.”

Hoyoung patted Brenu’s shoulder without saying a word.

Now I think I understand what Kaka meant.

Don’t be afraid that there are ten players behind you.

‘That’s true.’

It was a game where I learned a lot in many ways.

Hoyoung then took time to say hello to Neymar.

Without even going first, Neymar came up first and shook my hand.

He had no choice but to acknowledge Hoyoung.

His eyes, filled with an emotion I don’t know whether it was awe or not, proved it.

Okay.

As he held hands with Hoyoung, one of Neymar’s eyebrows rose.

‘What kind of calluses do you have on your hands?’

Slightly rough palms.

I could clearly feel how hard I worked not only on soccer but also on physical training.

“….”

Even as Neymar, I felt a lot of things.

I may have been too complacent all this time.

I thought I was trying hard enough, but that wasn’t the case.

I was overconfident about my talent.

Their handshake and today’s match stimulated Neymar’s competitive spirit.

‘Next time I will definitely win.’

I promised myself that if Woo Ho-young worked hard, I would work harder and rise to a higher place.

It was a bitter loss, but it was a game where we gained a lot.

The same goes for Hoyoung.

There were endless peaks to climb, but it felt like I had climbed a huge mountain.

Afterwards, a barrage of cameras exploded in the interview zone.

An interview was in progress with Hoyoung, who had the best performance of the day.

“Today, we achieved multiple goals and lifted the national league championship trophy. Actually, there are a lot of things I want to talk about, but I’d like to ask you this first. How do you feel now?”

“It’s Choi Gob.”

What else do I need to say?

Even at this moment during the interview, I feel like I’m going to burst into laughter.

“Hoowoo…” As

Hoyoung calmed down his overwhelming emotions, the reporter asked the next question.

“So what is your next goal?”

The answer to that question was clear.

“It’s a super championship treble.”

At that time, the locker room literally had a party atmosphere.

Carlos, who usually maintains a poker face, was enjoying his victory to the fullest today.

He was also busy praising the players, especially giving encouragement and praise to Brenu.

“Effort never betrays.”

Those words touched Brenu’s heart.

It was obvious, but it was the perfect fit for this moment.

“thank you. “It’s all thanks to my teammates.”

“Brenu. You need to be more grateful to yourself today. “I assure you, you deserve it.”

“But before that, I want to say thank you properly to that guy again.”

“Who are you talking about?”

“Hoyoung. “He took the time to help me with my training.”

“Then you should do it. But you should also be grateful to yourself. “You decided to practice on your own.”

“no.”

“hmm?”

Brenu’s heart was crushed.

And the voice cracked.

“It wasn’t intentional… It was training that he did because he forced me to do it. But it was very difficult for me. I even complained. But he… helped. So that’s why I did well today… I won…”

gulp.

Something hot flowed helplessly down my rough cheeks.

As if pouring out all the things I had been holding in for so long, I revealed my hidden inner feelings in front of Carlos.

Brenu.

The captain was crying.

But the eyes and mouth were smiling.

The corners of Carlos’ mouth also went up.

‘Guys.’

This is why we insist on using youth coaches.

Although the scale of the competition may be small, the players’ dreams are bigger than anything and their passion is passionate.

In the midst of it all, friendship exists.

And when I feel that, I feel rejuvenated.

‘This is exactly what it feels like.’

Carlos’s mustache twitched.

The smile quickly disappeared and only the most serious face remained.

“I see.”

“yes…?”

“haha. “Yes.”

The fact that what he brought back from Korea was no ordinary prospect.

next day.

Hoyoung was selected as Man of the Match by the National League Youth Football Federation’s technical committee.

At that time, Hoyoung, who was asleep in bed at home, opened his eyes brightly.

[Choose the talent you want to pursue.]

-Creative individual skills (A)

-Excellent flexibility (A-)

-Sharp judgment (A-)

-(More)

Neymar’s performance by winning games, scoring goals, and achieving MOM He succeeded in coveting talent.

After a moment of deliberation, I chose the second option.

Superior flexibility.

It was a necessary talent for Hoyoung, who possessed decent strength.

‘The physical coach has told me this many times.’

In order to use your body efficiently, strength and flexibility must be balanced.

I had heard it so loudly that I remembered every single word.

Moreover, flexibility is an element that is especially helpful for balance when changing direction or dribbling.

There was no doubt that it was a talent that Brazil needed to have.

Moreover, Hoyoung had ‘outstanding individual skills (B+2)’.

Four days after that.

38 rounds of the national league were held.

Sao Paulo FC’s players, who had already confirmed their victory, played comfortably and were able to successfully conclude the league with a 5-0 victory.

In this game, Hoyoung firmly maintained his position as the top scorer by scoring with a fantastic mid-range shot.

It was a pleasant morning.

And that energy was conveyed to the podium at the Arena Paulo Stadium this afternoon.

Last 9 months.

It was a tribute to the players who ran for this moment.

“congratulations. “Woo Ho-young.”

“thank you.”

Formal words were exchanged, and the prize money along with the plaque arrived in Hoyoung’s arms.

The technical committee members of the Brazilian Youth Football Federation unanimously awarded Hoyoung the Golden Ball, and Hoyoung, who scored 29 goals in the league, was awarded the top scorer award.

In addition, he was proudly named to the season’s best eleven and won three individual awards.

And it was then that the final reward fell.

[I am looking for a soccer prodigy (S-).]

Hidden condition ‘Win the Golden Ball’.

By achieving it, I finally got it.

[It takes 80 days → 40 days to fully retrieve the talent. You cannot pursue other talents for 40 days.]

‘In 40 days, on March 28th, I too will become a soccer prodigy…’

Grinning.

The corners of his mouth rose.

The fatigue hanging over my body fell away.

‘Of course, there is a lot to be gained by playing against a strong team.’

As difficult as it was, it was definitely a reward for a spectacular finale.

Meanwhile, the best attacker award was given to Pato, who scored 27 goals, and the silver ball was awarded to Neymar, who ranked third in scoring.

And the best thing is that the names of Breno and Casemiro were ranked 2.3rd among the best defenders.

Sao Paulo FC was honored with the most awards, with Oscar winning the midfielder award and Ederson winning the goalkeeper award.

that day.

Hoyoung, who achieved three individual awards, was very busy.

First of all, I was busy making phone calls to Korea, and in the evening, I went to a simple celebration party prepared by the club to fill my stomach.

And it wasn’t until I washed up and lay down on the bed that reality dawned on me.

‘I really did it….’

Goal achieved.

Even when I thought about it, I couldn’t believe it.

I was proud of myself for running down without even sighing.

That’s how much the Brazilian league will remain as a good experience.

It was a night when Vengaboys’ famous song ‘To Brazil’ was playing on the radio, and I became emotionally intoxicated.

Even though the schedule was much wider thanks to the end of the national league, training continued.

It was a long time between the sun rising and setting.

Maybe it was because the training was hard and boring.

But the funny thing is that even though the days are slow, the weeks are fast.

As I ran and sweated like that, it was almost time to end the season.

Treble.

The final stage of the Super Championship, which will decorate it, is just one day away.

Sunday, February 27th.

Moises do Maracana Stadium, located in Rio de Janeiro.

The game hadn’t even started yet, but the locker room was filled with excitement.

It was the passion of the players who came from Sao Paulo by bus early in the morning.

Carlos opened his mouth.

“Do your best until the end. “The reality is that even if you do well nine times, you get criticized if you don’t do it once.”

The final step towards Treble.

The opponent was CR Vasco da Gama, based in Rio de Janeiro.

“The player to watch out for is, as always, Philippe Coutinho.”

Philippe Coutinho.

Position: Attacking midfielder.

Shin Seong, who will later be called Iniesta’s successor and will be in charge of the second line of the Canary Legion!

Hoyoung, remembering his face, expressed confidence.

“Let’s destroy it.”

There was no sign of being intimidated or scared at all from the players.

I had the mindset that I would win if I didn’t let my guard down.

There was no reason to be nervous because he had already faced Coutinho twice in the national league.

They are the ones who destroyed Neymar and Pato.

Their confidence was through the roof.

And that was evident in the match that soon started.

Finals.

The game was played in a very enthusiastic atmosphere for a youth game, as there were 7,000 spectators.

As if in return, Sao Paulo’s players played a passionate game.

1 minute in the first half.

A mid-range shot was fired from around 30 meters.

The ball stretched heavily from the tip of Hoyoung’s right foot and accurately targeted the gap in the goal.

Immediately afterwards, the floating net announced the majesty of the national league champion.

And at the same time.

[Heavy mid-range shot that penetrates the gap (B+2)↑]

His growth was accelerating as did his skill.

“like!”

The sight of him running around the stadium, personally expressing the sweet taste of a goal, was spectacular to say the least.

He was showing off his unstoppable skills as if this were the skills of a national league champion.

The game continued similarly even after the first goal.

Differences in skill were revealed one after another in the defensive third line, second line, and first line.

It was a one-sided match between Sao Paulo FC and could not be considered a final.

The ground, which had endured all kinds of hardships through the rain, hardened, and before we knew it, new sprouts were sprouting on top of it.

In particular, Hoyoung was performing at his best this season.

perhaps.

In what could be his last game in Brazil.
