All Football Talents Are Mine Chapter 85

085. Season End (1)

There were many surprises in the soccer world in March 2007.

While Arsenal striker Thierry Henry was faltering in the English Premier League (EPL), Didier Drogba and Cristiano Ronaldo competed for the top scorer spot.

In particular, the whole world was paying attention to Portugal’s divinity Ronaldo, and although he had the talent of a devil, each manager had different evaluations, saying he was too greedy.

Meanwhile, a huge wind blew in Spain’s La Liga.

Barcelona’s Eto’o, who was expected to be the top scorer last year, performed poorly and fell out of the top scorer rankings.

Instead, Van Nistelrooy, who flew in from EPL’s Manchester United, competed with Ronaldinho for the top scorer.

Below them, Villarreal’s Forlan, Valencia’s, and Villa Atlético’s Torres showed off their skills to the fullest, ushering in a Warring States period that was more intense than ever.

What’s interesting is that Barcelona’s young Messi scored as many as 10 goals.

Woo Ho-young, who was evaluated as the future of Real Madrid and received a lot of attention from soccer fans, also showed great performance.

[Maestro’s Build Up (SU)]

That one talent brought about a tremendous change.

Of course, he could not fully demonstrate Zidane’s talent from the beginning, but Hoyoung was able to feel the increase in his skills even with just a part of it.

The confidence that bubbled up like hot spring water was a bonus.

Based on that, they continued their winning streak day after day.

Hoyoung played as an attacking midfielder in the 29th round against Getafe in mid-March, and in that game alone, he scored 3 goals and 1 assist, becoming the sole leader in scoring and assists.

As a result, Real Madrid widened the point gap with Valencia to 9 points and firmly maintained its lead in the league.

We were just a stone’s throw away from winning the league.

The King Juvenil Cup advanced to the final round early, leaving only the final against Villarreal.

In this situation, the Marca tabloid constantly covered articles about Hoyoung in its online news.

[Has Real’s star-centered policy finally embraced promising talent?]

[Approximately 520 youth are developing their dreams at Real Madrid. This professional club’s own youth system is known to be very efficient because it does not require additional recruitment costs.

However, Real Madrid has so far been evaluated as a graveyard for prospects.

The reason lies in Real Madrid’s star recruitment policy.

They spent €140 million (KRW 210 billion) in this year’s summer transfer market alone to attract World Cup stars.

The ones who suffer the most from this situation are by far the youth of the club.

This can be seen just by looking at the fact that Granero, who signed a professional contract with Real Madrid three years ago, has not played a single game this season.

The same goes for Juan Mata, who was promoted to the second team last year.

It can be said that Real Madrid is a place that never gives opportunities to its own players.

So what will happen to Woo Ho-young, whom Zidane highly praised?

In terms of ability, there is no flaw.

The same goes for star quality.

Zidane’s interviews at the 2005 U17 World Cup and 2006 World Cup made him a star.

However, I think it will never be easy.

The choice will be up to President Perez and the coach, but wouldn’t it be possible to let them play in at least one game for every 100,000 uniforms sold?]

As the article states, there were many problems with Real Madrid’s youth system.

No, it wasn’t a problem, it was just their policy.

It is rare for young players who grew up in Real’s youth team to succeed in Real’s first team.

Because the first-team squad is so competitive, it is common for young players to be sold to other clubs after signing professional contracts.

That is why players from Real Youth are scattered throughout Spain.

In fact, Barcelona’s goal getter Samuel Eto’o was also a member of Real’s youth team in the past.

To put it simply, Real Youth is a good place for young people to grow, but it is a difficult place to achieve success as a professional player.

But Hoyoung was becoming an exception.

He had already gained public recognition through the U17 World Cup and Zidane, and had the looks to steal the hearts of female fans even when he was standing still.

And more than anything, President Perez wanted him to make his professional debut.

In light of that, he might have succeeded as Blanco following Guti Raul Casillas.

This is also the first time for a foreigner.

April was cool.

The temperature fluctuated around 15 degrees, so it was neither cold nor hot.

The problem is that it rains once every 3 to 4 days, so I get soaked every time I play.

Still, Hoyoung thought positively.

It will definitely be better than England, which is famous for its unpredictable weather…

Anyway, underwater combat is the fate of soccer players.

It is nearly impossible to block the rain with a roof.

This is because lawn care cannot be carried out properly unless the roof’s sunlight transmittance is very high.

In the first place, the roof of the dome stadium was designed to allow spectators to comfortably watch the game, not to protect players.

In addition, underwater combat is quite enjoyable to watch in its own way.

That is why soccer games are not canceled even in rain.

However, the rain and wind did not stop Real Madrid from moving forward.

They were running smoothly toward the end of the season, as they had done well so far.

Time continued to pass.

As May approaches, various festivals are held in Madrid.

As Spain is particularly fond of festivals, the number of various concerts and outdoor dance parties was increasing.

But it had nothing to do with Hoyoung.

In some ways, this was the most important time, so I had no interests other than soccer.

I resisted various temptations, saying that I could go out and play as much as I wanted later.

Among them, I really wanted to see a bullfight at least once, but I decided to wait until the end of the season.

I only have one month to go before I have some free time.

Fortunately, there were no major difficulties in other aspects of life.

If there were any shortcomings, the agent and the club supported everything necessary for daily life, and if a problem arose, the agent and the club resolved it.

School life was also perfect.

At first, there were people who called Hoyoung “Chino” and used racial discrimination, but those incidents disappeared after a few days.

This is because a third-year student (I wonder if he is a middle school student or a gangster) who comes to school every day wearing Zidane’s soccer uniform voluntarily protected Hoyoung.

The racists who didn’t want to be dragged to the rooftop after school didn’t touch Hoyoung anymore.

Meanwhile, since last year, requests to convene the U17 Korean national team have been coming in occasionally.

There were numerous competitions, including the Australian Youth Olympic Games and the Asian Championships, but Hoyoung never returned home.

This is because if you are selected to represent the youth team during the pre-season or during the middle of the season, you will lose your opportunity at the club.

Hoyoung, who desperately wanted to make his professional debut at Real Madrid, did not want to delay that dream.

In fact, it was unknown whether or not they would participate in the 2007 U17 World Cup held in Korea this year.

If possible, I thought it would be more helpful in the future to receive tutoring during that time.

Lucci’s opinion also played a role in this regard, and he said this to Hoyoung.

-The opportunity to experience Zinedine Zidane will never come again. Also, 90 minutes with Zidane will be more meaningful than 90 minutes playing for the U17 youth national team.

He then said, “We are currently discussing with the club the player who will be in charge of tutoring after Zidane,” and asked Hoyoung which player he would like to learn from.

Hoyoung then replied, “Ronaldo Beckham Carlos, who doesn’t know when he will leave Real Madrid.” To which Rucci looked for tickets to the 2007F/W Custu fashion show held in Barcelona a few days later.

The schedule in May was quite spacious compared to previous months, but in reality, the opposite was true.

Real Madrid, which has maintained its undisputed first place in the league, is currently undergoing intensive training as it is at a critical moment.

It’s the 36th round of the league.

Real Madrid’s opponent was Spain’s traditional powerhouse Villareal, and if they won more than 1 point in this game, they were guaranteed to win regardless of the results of the remaining games.

In other words, a super match where the winner is at stake.

For Madrid, even a draw was enough to win the match.

There were people who were more excited about this than anyone else, and they were none other than Koreans on the other side of the world.

[Woo Ho-young’s Real Madrid Juvenil B regular league championship countdown has begun….

Real Madrid is on the verge of winning the ‘División de Honor Juvenil League’ with its 9th consecutive win.

If he wins a point against Villarreal tomorrow, Ho-Young Woo will have won his 5th trophy in 4 years of soccer career.] There

was a consistent response to this.

[I understand why Zidane is Zidane. How can a 15-year-old child grow up like this in just a few months? Just because you’re good at soccer doesn’t mean you’re good at teaching. I can coach when I retire.]

└So is Woo Ho-young the successor to Zidane?

└Seeing that Zidane was interviewed like that at the World Cup, it seems like they have a very special relationship haha. I feel proud for no reason.

└Ah, I’m jealous… You’re friends with Zidane….

└They say that friends resemble each other, and it’s true.

└Just don’t look alike with your hair!

└Maybe it will be released the moment hair loss begins?

└Don’t ignore baldness… Cha Doo-rim, Ronaldo, Robben di Stefano, Jaap Stam, Bobby Charlton. Almost all good soccer players are bald…

└Anyway, I hope Woo Ho-young wins. It seems like just yesterday that I said I was going to Real Madrid, but it’s already been 2 years. At that time, people were laughing and there wasn’t an uproar. Woo Ho-young, fighting.

next day.

Real Madrid traveled four hours to Villarreal, Valencia, to win the league.

Villarreal, known as El Submarino Amarillo (Yellow Submarine), is a team based on the east coast and was currently ranked 4th in the group behind Barcelona.

For them, one point was very precious, so they could never back down even if the opponent was Real Madrid.

Same goes for Real Madrid.

We had to quickly secure the league title so we could focus on the King Juvenil Cup final in two weeks.

It was a game expected to be a fierce battle with no compromises.

What Real Madrid needs to be careful about is that it is an away game.

Hoyoung left the away locker room and went onto the field and looked at the stands.

Several men, including Chairman Perez, were seen sitting in the middle of the empty seats.

They stopped by here immediately after Real Madrid’s first team’s away game to Valencia this morning.

Next to the chairman was Hoyoung’s agent, Lucci.

And on the other side, people who appeared to be Villarreal officials were sitting in a huddle.

Meanwhile, Hoyoung closed his eyes and strengthened his winning mentality.

“after.”
