Chapter 23

Today’s information

[Lee Woo-seung pushes the players even more when his qualifications as a manager are questioned.]

It was not a full spectator seat, but as many people were seated, the determination of the players standing in the stadium was different.

“Hey. Is that player pretty good? If you take good care of it, you can leave the middle game to me.”

“what? That player was reported to have no possibility in our scouting team, but looking at it now, it’s different.”

“It feels like an upgrade overall.”

As the game progressed, the eyes of the scouts who attended just for fun started to look for the players.

“What the hell is an agent doing? Obviously, these guys aren’t good enough to show off their skills.”

“The scouts didn’t even look at the players and they flew around in reporting. That agent is great. It will be one of the two.”

And as Cha Jin-seong, the 4th hitter of the blue team, entered the plate, the officials of the Kings, to which Cha Jin-seong belonged, shone.

“Wow~ It’s Cha Jin-sung!”

“You can really see Cha Jin-seong here.”

When Cha Jin-sung got to the plate, the reporters in the audience were amazed and captured Cha Jin-seong’s appearance on camera.

“By the way, there was also the Kings coach over there, right?”

“Yeah. I thought he was crazy when he said he didn’t drop off to the 2nd Army and sent him to this camp.”

“After hearing the rumors, it seems that Cha Jin-seong is also not a joke.”

The Kings manager even visited the stadium today, a professional baseball break.

“Hmm.”

He wanted it so strongly, and he sent him to camp instead of the 2nd Army because of his hot name among the officials these days, Song Jae-jin, but it was because he wasn’t sure yet.

‘If you think it’s not enough, I’ll have to raise my sense of battle in the 2nd team.’

“strike-!”

When the call for the first ball rang, Jin-Sung Cha nodded his head and put a smile on his face.

Because he got the ball quite a bit better than he thought.

“Damn, I tried.”

“of course. I tried to catch you, until I just bleed.”

“But what if I’m sorry?”

As the second ball left the pitcher’s hand, Cha Jin-seong also swung the bat.

“I’m in too good shape to eat three strikeouts today.”

Damn-!

The sound of a refreshing blow was heard, and Cha Jin-seong trembled all over his body.

As soon as the ball hit the bat, he could intuit it was a home run, and at the same time, the feeling of hitting differently from before entering camp was so neat.

‘That person is a genius, a genius.’

Seeing Jae-Jin Song clapping and smiling in the audience, Jin-Sung Cha turned to the base while pointing at Jae-Jin Song with his fingertips.

“Hmm. Clean.”

Cha Jin-seong’s striking stance as seen by the Kings’ manager was very neat.

“Looks like it really works.”

“That’s it.”

Even the head coach was able to put his tongue out at the change in Cha Jin-seong in a short period of time.

And in the second at-bat at Cha Jin-sung. Even in the third at bat.

Jin-seong Cha hit a home run in a row and definitely drew people’s attention.

“Cha Jin-seong is back perfectly.”

After saying those words, the Kings coach left and the camp was over and the players gathered around Song Jae-jin.

“Everyone worked hard. I’m glad the camp went well.”

“Isn’t this all thanks to the agent?”

“What. I can’t say no.”

The players giggled and burst into laughter at Jaejin’s full response.

“It’s going to go back to the club you belong to. If you just do what you have been doing at camp, I think we will be able to see you in a higher place in the future.”

And making eye contact with each player who was looking at him, Jaejin Song smiled and said his last words.

“Everyone worked hard.”

With Jae-jin’s words, the camp really ended, and Jae-jin had a chat with Seo Eun-sang and So Hyun-min in the president’s office.


“Yeah, really.”

Seo Eun-sang looked at Song Jae-jin as if curiously, as if she still did not understand.

“It was well-received.”

“Are you talking about knights?”

“Not just articles, but rumors as well.”

So Hyun-min had a smile on his face as if he was very satisfied.

“okay. I saw the report. Did I mention Park Il-joo and Lee Jin-young?”

“Yeah.”

“What do you think, Director Song?”

“I think Jinyoung Lee is a talent who can play an active part in Europe.”

“Isn’t Park Il-joo that good?”

“He should be able to go as a striker, but I think it will be a little difficult to play. He will definitely return soon. And as the report shows, Il-Joo Park can perform better as a defensive midfielder than as a striker.”

So Hyun-min put another report next to Song Jae-jin’s report.

“Director Choi Ki-yeon also posted a report about Park Il-joo. Maybe he was in contact with Park Il-joo?”

So Hyun-min said with a curious expression.

“Director Choi Ki-yeon thought that Park Il-joo would be able to succeed in Europe as a striker.”

“Then Manager Choi Ki-yeon is wrong.”

At Song Jae-jin’s reply, which seemed to be certain, So Hyun-min turned into a more interesting expression.

“Which agent you choose will depend on you.”

“of course. In the end, the choice is up to the players.”

Song Jae-jin packed his filming equipment and headed to the national high school soccer tournament for the national presidential gold medal.

The match between Chungju High School and Suwon High School.

It was a confrontation between the high school, which depended on the attack power of one Park Il-joo, and the high school in Suwon, which came up based on strong organizational power.

“Relatively, there are many judgments that claims are superior.”

According to the power analysis, many people expected Jin-Young Lee to advance to the finals.

In any case, soccer was a game to be won by scoring one more goal than the opponent, and this was because the defense of Chunggugo was not weak.

And Song Jae-jin’s thoughts were similar.

If there is only one unstable variable that Jaejin thinks of.

‘Today’s billing statement will definitely be the key point for winning or losing, Park Il-joo.’

Even though it was a high school league, there were more people than expected in the field because it was the quarterfinals.

Song Jae-jin also set the camera in a place where the entire stadium could be seen and waited for the game to start.

‘Sanggo Suwon’s defense is definitely good.’

Looking at the records of Suwon Sanggo, most of the previous matches were either 1-0 or 2-0.

That means the defense is strong.

‘Unless the director of Suwon Sanggo is an idiot, I’m sure he will care about Park Il-joo.’

And as expected by Song Jae-jin, Suwon Sanggo coach took the initiative by attaching a dedicated defense to Park Il-joo.

Song Jae-jin set the camera settings to Park Il-joo and looked around the whole stadium.

The game was moving into the middle ages.

To be precise, both sides of the Baek Middle Ages are stuffy.

Suwon Sanggo cut off the attack flow of Chunggogo by man marking Park Il-joo, but at the same time showed poor attack power and was unable to penetrate the defense of Chunggogo.

‘Lee Jin-young is the starter.’

Jinyoung Lee started as a left full-back, interrupting Suwon Sanggo’s attack flow from the beginning, and was showing a remarkable performance.

Then Jinyoung Lee started dribbling through the gap in the left line.

“Lee Jinyoung!”

However, as he was about to build-up by holding the ball again from the side, when he heard a shout from the manager’s seat, Jinyoung Lee chose a pass rather than a breakthrough.

‘Worst.’

And the pass that went out of Jinyoung Lee’s feet was forced to lead to Il-ju Park through the players, but was again lost to Suwon Sanggo.

‘There is no answer from this.’

Soccer is basically a team sport.

Of course, if there is one outstanding player, that player himself can be tactical and run the team.

‘Park Il-joo is not even Messina, Pele, or Maradona.’

Unlike Park Il-joo, whenever I saw Lee Jin-young’s movements, I couldn’t hide my admiration.

‘You’re definitely smart. Apart from everything else, he has great soccer intelligence.’

Although he was still lacking in appearance, it was a lack that could be made up for, considering his 18-year-old age.

Sharp crosses, not bad individual skills, and solid basic skills.

Good defense, good tackles.

And the football intelligence that makes it all possible.

He was definitely a standout player even at the high school level.

‘It’s even more questionable that there is no agent so far.’

“Good morning.”



And someone came up to Song Jae-jin and greeted him.

“Yes, hello.”

Jaejin quickly glanced at the man who greeted him at the same time as he said hello.

As an agent is a job that deals with people, it was important to know what kind of person they were.

“Are you an agent?”

‘Someone who knows my job to some extent. Clothes and accessories look classy. parents? Club officials?’

“Yes, agent. My name is Song Jae-jin.”

“Are there any good players?”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

‘It’s like a parent. Is it Park Il-ju?’

I guessed who it was, but I asked again just in case.

“Yes, I see some good players. Are you a member of the club?”

At Jaejin’s question, the man shook his head and laughed,

“I am a student parent. By any chance, from the agent’s point of view, what do you think of the 9th billing statement, Il-Joo Park? Is it a skill that can be passed on in Europe?”

‘Taegang group? Find information about Park Il-joo’s parents in the system.’

“You mean Park Il-ju?”

If he thought Park Il-joo’s parents were right, he didn’t want to lie like other agents, so he talked about Park Il-joo with a calm expression.

“Talent is enough. But under the current circumstances, it would definitely fail.”

The man looked at Jae-jin with interest in the answer filled with the certainty that it was unconditional and rushed to answer.

“Especially the striker position is holding me back. There’s even the director’s tactics. At this rate, it seems that our skills are on the verge of regression.”

“A striker and a manager?”

Hearing that the striker position is the problem, Jae-Hun Park looked at Jae-Jin with a slightly unpleasant but interesting gaze.

“Park Il-ju’s best performance is when he’s on defense. When he was in middle school, he was such a good figure. But he changed his position as striker. When the manager uses the tactic of pushing the ball openly to Il-joo Park, he has all of his strengths.”

“flow. Is that so? It’s different from other agents and billing supervisors’ evaluations.”

It was obvious why they said that.

‘Because it’s money.’

And soon after, Jae-jin, who checked the hologram window that the system brought up, continued to answer, shaking his head sharply when Park Jae-heon, Park Il-joo’s father and Taekang Group president, was right.

Anyway, if you keep playing soccer, you need to know what you’re lacking so that you can fix it.

If he continued to do well in those around him, it would have been obvious that he would end up being just that kind of player without progress.

“Let me be honest. In Europe, Park Il-ju’s evaluation is not bad, but he has little movement in his box. At the same time, he has a reputation for requiring the team to be self-centered and he often gets nervous when the game doesn’t work out.”

“In Europe?”

The man replied as if it was surprising, and Jaejin nodded his head.

“Well, I kind of figured it out. Even now, if you look at it, it’s waiting for the ball to come inside the box. If such a situation becomes a habit, I don’t know if it will do well in the K-League as well as in Europe right now.”

“Wasn’t the old Messi also a player with little movement?”

“If Il-Joo Park was Messi, he would not be here, he would be playing for European clubs right now. Messi doesn’t just wait for the ball to come.”

The more he listened to Jae-jin, the more serious the man’s expression became, but Jae-jin continued his words until the end.

“In the case of Park Il-joo, if he goes to Europe right now, it may be the first time, but he probably won’t be able to fit into the team properly.”

“I think that the situation might have become more pronounced when Park Il-joo changed his position as striker.”

“And maybe. As expected, it will be revealed in today’s match. Last year, he went to Eindhoven and didn’t know, but he’s not just playing with a different team. Obviously, other teams will analyze and block Park Il-joo.”

And as soon as the words were finished, at the sound of a whistle in the field, Song Jae-jin and the man turned their eyes to the field, and the referee raised a red card high on the field.
