Solo All-Around Agent

Chapter 21

Today’s information

[If Jinyoung Lee continues to be in charge, he will give up football.]

—

‘platinum?!’

It’s a basic search skill, so I’m not sure, but I don’t know, but if it was platinum, I was sure that it was a high number, so Song Jae-jin was surprised and shouted.

“Platinum talent. Park Il-joo is a golden talent, so even a simple comparison of the two.”

Park Il-ju was marked as a golden talent, and even considering the mixture of exaggeration in Korea, it is evaluated as an outstanding talent that can also be aimed at Europe.

‘But you have a higher potential than that of Park Il-joo?’

“Hey! Jinyoung Lee! Aren’t you watching the line?! Why do you keep crawling and fucking!”

Jinyoung Lee consciously stopped trying to climb up to the swear word of director Chunggugo and continued to keep the back four line, but he did his best role.

“cross! Cross up! There is one week in the box!”

When Lee Jin-young’s defending player was blocked by defense and could not easily create a space to raise a cross, the team floundered, and the coach spat at the players as if they were running out of heat.

“Hmm.”

Song Jae-jin opened the information window and nodded his head.

‘If you’re under a manager like that, you’re likely to give up football. How did you get to the position of supervisor.’

It could be said that it was the worst quality to be in a supervisory position at a high school, which is regarded as a prestigious school.

There seemed to be a lot of problems not only in the tactics of using Park Il-ju as a power pole, but also in the way he treats players.

And when the training, which seemed like a lot of problems, was over, Song Jae-jin went down from the audience to the stadium to greet director Lee Woo-seung.

“Good morning. Director.”

Jae-jin, who was sitting at the stand, greeted him, and Woo-seung Lee received Jae-jin’s greeting with a wary expression.

“who… ?”

“My name is Song Jae-jin, an agent of World Tree Agency.”

And at the introduction that followed, he nodded and looked at Il-Joo Park.

“Ah, if it was the World Tree, I would have come to see it. Hey! One week!”

“no. I didn’t come here to meet Park Il-joo…”

Before Song Jae-jin’s words could be finished, Lee Woo-seung called for Park Il-joo, and after training, Park Il-joo went to the dormitory and walked towards Jae-jin, showing all his troublesome expressions.

“Yes, Director.”

“The agent came from the World Tree.”

Despite the director’s expression, Park Il-joo looked at Jae-jin with an expressionless expression.

“Ah. Dad said.”

Jaejin smiled while hiding his displeasure towards Lee Wooseung and handed him a business card.

“My name is Jaejin Song, the World Tree Agent.”

“Can I sign an agent contract?”

Seeing that, Jaejin smiled and shook her head.

“Because Park Il-joo came today for the purpose of confirmation. Shouldn’t he first see what kind of player he is? He also wanted to talk.”

At Jae-jin’s words, Lee Woo-seung looked at Song Jae-jin as if wondering what he was talking about.

“You want to check what kind of player a guy who is a week old is? I heard that World Tree is a big company, but is it too prudent or… .”

“If you know the players well, wouldn’t you be able to manage them better?”

Song Jae-jin was taken aback by Lee Woo-seung’s attitude, but he did not erase the smile on his face.

“No, if you were an agent, you would know roughly what kind of family the Ilju family was. Terrible.”

“I know what kind of player Park Il-ju is.”

However, Lee Woo-seung shook his head as if it was absurd.

“Then you’re not signing a contract today, are you?”

Park Il-joo was going to die of hardship, but at the same time showing his displeasure and annoyance at the fact that he had called him, Jae-jin roughly wrinkled the business card and picked it up along with his shoes and tried to go back.

“Isn’t it uncomfortable to play as a striker?”

At a word that seemed to know him well, Park Il-joo caught the footsteps he was about to enter and looked at Song Jae-jin.

“Isn’t it more comfortable to play as a defensive midfielder?”

“What are you talking about! What kind of stupid human being! You know one week better than me, you’ve been watching for nearly three years?!”

At Jae-jin’s words, Park Il-joo’s eyes lit up for a moment, but at Lee Woo-seung’s words, Park Il-joo quickly returned to her usual expressionless expression.

And Lee Woo-seung’s face turned red, blocking the distance between Park Il-joo and Song Jae-jin.

It was because it was coach Lee Woo-seung himself who used Park Il-ju as a striker and played a game centered on Park Il-ju.

“I’ve seen it since middle school. He seems quite talented. I think I will be able to rise higher in the defensive midfield position than as a striker.”

“Ah yes.”

After those words, Park Il-joo went back and Director Lee Woo-seung glared at Song Jae-jin with enthusiasm.

“Park Il-joo, come in! Don’t deal with this stinky stinky agent!”

However, Song Jae-jin did not care at all and smiled and pointed to Lee Jin-young, who was holding the ball in a corner of the playground.

“By the way, I want to talk to Jinyoung Lee.”

Lee Woo-seung, who was looking at Song Jae-jin with spirits, beckoned to Lee Jin-young’s story.

“Lee Jinyoung? With that bastard who just rolls his eyes and makes a fuss? do it your way If you look at what Jinyoung Lee is talking about, his skills are understandable. That’s why you’re talking to Il-ju like that.”

Jae-jin laughed at the coach, who had no eyes to see the players, and approached Jin-young Lee, who was practicing trapping in a corner of the stadium after tidying up.

“Good morning. Jinyoung Lee.”

“Oh, yes. Good morning.”

As Song Jae-jin approached, Lee Jin-young stopped trapping and tilted his head.

He was not the person he knew, no matter what he thought, and he had no one to talk to.

Especially if I had just talked to the director over Park Il-joo.

“My name is Jaejin Song, an agent from World Tree.”

When Song Jae-jin introduced himself, Lee Jin-young looked at Jae-jin with an even more incomprehensible expression.

“If you came to ask about Park Il-ju, I have nothing to say. Go see the other kids.”

And after answering as if he was familiar with it, he turned off his nerves and started trapping again.

“Ah. That’s fortunate. I didn’t come to see Il-Joo Park, but to see Jin-Young Lee, right?”

When he said that he had come to meet him, Jinyoung Lee was momentarily panicked and missed the trapping ball, and Jaejin Song caught the bouncing ball and handed it over.

“I’m working hard to practice the basics.”

“Because my father said that the basics are the most important no matter what.”

Jaejin smiled and handed the ball.

“You have a good father. As you go up, the most important thing is the basics.”

The time was approaching evening, and Song Jae-jin glanced at the clock and said to Lee Jin-young.

“are you not hungry?”

‘Cruck-’

And at the timing of the navel clock, Jaejin handed the ball and pointed to the front of the school gate.

“Get organized and come to the front door. This is because the agent is trying to please a player who looks good. I always call my parents.”

—

profit-

The pork belly made a pleasant sound as it went up on the heated fire, and while the meat was cooking, Jaejin talked about it.

“Are you used to a fairly aggressive flank defense role?”

“Yeah. He played a lot in that role before he transferred.”

‘Find information about Jinyoung Lee.’

According to the information, Jinyoung Lee played at Suwon Technical High School before coming to Chungju High School, and his grades were very good.

‘Since the bill came in, my grades plummeted from the second year. Perhaps it was because of the tactics focused on Park Il-joo. We keep bumping into each other.’

I’ve been working as an agent for years and I’m not sure, but it was close to certainty.

“How about director Lee Woo-seung?”

At the director’s words, Jinyoung Lee hesitated and did not answer easily.

“Well. I know.”

Jae-jin, who read the meaning of those words, skillfully cut the meat into bite-sized pieces without asking any further questions. Lee Jin-young continued to look at the meat, but asked Jae-jin.

“Just, what. Just… But why did I find you? When I looked it up, World Tree was a really big agency.”

“I think Jinyoung Lee will do well.”

Jinyoung Lee looked at Jaejin Song with his eyes wide open when he said that he would do well.

“You cannot contract directly with a player who is a minor. So today, I wanted to hear Jinyoung Lee’s intentions, so I prepared a place for him.”

“Can I do it well?”

“It’s good enough for me.”

So far, many agents have come to the billing office, and some agents have asked questions to Jinyoung Lee as well.

And most of them were the same thing.

‘What kind of player is Park Il-joo? How about an internal evaluation?’

And among them, there were many agents who wanted to sign a contract by buying Lee Jin-young’s potential high.

Most of them are vague words about signing a contract and asking for money.

And although most of it was filtered out of conversations with his parents.

“Where do you want to play?”

“It’s a team that can play a lot.”

When asked about Lee Jin-young, who murmured meat, Lee Jin-young answered without hesitation as if it was natural.

“My father-in-law was like that, and me too, no matter how good a team I go to, if I can’t play, it means nothing as a soccer player. It’s not like I’m going abroad to do a bench warmer.”

Jae-jin smiled at Lee Jin-young’s answer and held out his business card.

“Go home and discuss it with your parents. And if you have any ideas, please contact me.”

Song Jae-jin, who broke up with Lee Jin-young, sent a report to the manager about the Park Il-joo contract and began to find out about Park Il-joo.

He thought he would be a player that would definitely help the company, even if he didn’t take it.

“Hey! Joris!”

And he immediately contacted an acquaintance in Eindhoven.

[Song!]

“How have you been?”

[So! Long time no see! How is he even a good player?]

“It’s not like that. I’d like to ask you one thing. Can you recognize just one youth player who went to the Korea Football Association a year ago?”

[1 year ago? Ah. I remember. What kind of gentleman are you?](Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“Park Il-ju.”

At Jaejin’s words, Lloris Mateisen tapped the keyboard and quickly scanned the data displayed on the monitor.

[Why this player? Is he on your radar?]

However, the result on the monitor was not bad, but it was because he was a player who showed a lot of disappointment in areas other than his skills.

“No, I came down from the company to take a look.”

[Hmm. You always know the secret, right?]

“Do not worry about it. Because my mouth is always heavy.”

[I’ll send you an email as usual.]

“Thanks. Whenever we meet, I’ll buy you a drink!”

Song Jae-jin hung up the phone and drove the car to the company.

It was because he had a lot of work to do, as he discovered new players.

“What do you think?”

When Jae-Jin returned to work, Eun-Sang Seo called for Jae-Jin and asked, and Jae-Jin Song shrugged his shoulders.

“Not bad. There are some problems.”

“uh? Problem??”

“Yeah. He doesn’t seem to have a good personality either. And now the director is ruining Park Il-joo.”

At the unexpected answer, Seo Eun-sang tilted her head as if there was no way.

“The director is the X-Men.”

“A billing supervisor? Lee Woo-seung?”

“I don’t know how the hell I got to that place. I put Park Il-joo inside the box and just raise the cross like a power pole.”

“Hmm.”

“Park Il-joo is not as tall as Kim Wook or Crouch.”

Eunsang stroked his chin in a situation that was not visible on paper.

“And Park Il-joo doesn’t suit the attack. I don’t know if it’s a position with a defensive role added.”

“A defensive midfielder? Suddenly?”

Seo Eun-sang looked at Song Jae-jin, wondering what the sound of this was.

“The scene that stood out the most was Park Il-ju’s forward pressure.

Ironically, the scene where Park Il-joo stood out the most from Song Jae-jin’s point of view was the forward pressure of Park Il-joo.

“So what do you think?”
