Solo All-Around Agent

Chapter 45

Today’s information

[There are many players who want to extend their active duty rather than money.]

“Move more! Left and right rather than forward pass! It means to pass while writing wide and wide!”

During tactical training, coach Alex was screaming with a sling around his neck to instill the tactics Jaejin saw on the tactics board into the players.

“pass! pass! Pass it wide open!”

The big frame of the Millwall attack tactic is to keep the classic shape when attacking and turn the ball left and right.

“Mario! Don’t stand still, move! Shake the defense!”

The opposing team moves left and right according to the movement of the ball, which creates a gap in the opposing half.

“The gap has widened! You have to pass that way! Put it on with confidence! With confidence!”

And try to attack towards that gap.

“nice! good! That way!”

When the first tactical training was over and it was time to take a break, Jaejin handed Mario a towel and a drink.

“Thank you, Bro.”

“Do you understand?”

In fact, Mario’s understanding of tactics wasn’t that good.

Therefore, in tactical training, Mario Baruwa was the player who devotes most of his time to learning.

“Well. a little? It’s awkward though. Wouldn’t it get better with a little more practice?”

Judging from Mario’s reaction, he didn’t seem to have a grasp on the tactics yet, so Jaejin presented the prepared tactic board to Mario.

“Mario and Alex, shall we do a tactic review?”

“Repeat?”

“Yeah. We are thinking together with what director Alex intends to move and how to move. Then he will probably realize something.”

“I don’t think it’s bad, but is it possible?”

“Why are you here? Since then, the coach has told me that my tactics are not bad.”

When the director said that to Jae-jin, Mario mumbled positively and sat down next to Jae-jin.

“This is the situation right now.”

Blue magnets made Millwall’s formation and red magnets made Brantford’s 4-4-2.

“When Millwall attacks, the manager tells him to pass wide left and right?”

“Huh. right.”

“Do you understand why they tell you to pass so wide left and right?”

“Well. To make space?”

I remember when the director spoke to me, but I didn’t understand, so Mario answered with an unsure voice.

Jaejin replied cheerfully to him.

“Yes. Usually players follow the ball, right?”

Jaejin moved the ball left and right to move Brantford’s magnet, and the magnet that moved along with the ball suddenly opened up and became disorganized.

“like this. If you keep going back and forth from left to right, the gap between your opponents will inevitably widen, right?”

“Five! Aha!”

Mario nodded his head loudly at the easy explanation that even a child could understand.

“Now, Mario is a striker. What will you do if there is a gap between the opposing defenses?”

“You have to run right through it.”

“right? Then the player with the ball from behind will link the attack to Mario or to the player who digs into another space.”

Only then did Mario understand what the director had said to him until now, and he laughed out loud and patted Jaejin on the shoulder.

“Bro speaks really well! You understand right? But the director doesn’t understand anything the old man said.”

Jaejin couldn’t respond to Mario’s wild choice of words and burst into an embarrassing laugh.

After talking about tactics for a while, the head coach lifted the whistle to resume practice again.

But at that moment, Director Alex shook his head.

“Wait a minute.”

Mario’s physique has improved a lot and at the same time his training attitude isn’t bad, so he was thinking of letting him go before Brant Ford.

‘But it’s a flaw in my lack of tactical understanding.’

Although there are tactics in play football, Mario’s understanding of tactics was never good, even as a joke.

‘In this tactic, Mario’s role is important. I’d rather use Mario as a replacement resource if I’m too fussy.’

“Come on, let’s start practicing again! Mario, can you do better this time?!”

“Yes, Boss!”

As practice resumed and the attack unfolded, Alex’s eyes shone with caution.

‘The reason we roll the ball in our camp is because we have to open up space. I have to try to open up more space.’

Mario induced the defenders to keep moving in line with the defensive line, and when the 15th pass was made, Mario’s eyes saw a gap between the central defenders.

‘And if you see a gap…!’

Mario glanced at the player with the ball and ran into the gap between the defenses, and before he knew it, a pass from the back arrived under his feet.

“Nice Pass!”

When Mario managed to score a goal while running with one defender, the manager looked at Jaejin with a surprised expression.

“nice! It was perfect! That way you can chew on Brantford or something!”

As the director looked at him in amazement, Mario looked at Alex with a smirk on his chest, squeezing his chest out.

It’s like bragging about seeing my play.

Pisik-

Director Alex burst out laughing at Mario like that and looked in the direction where Jaejin was standing.

‘What kind of magic did you use? Under that short time? Is it a coincidence?’

It was because Mario’s movements were cleaner than expected.

And even after the first exercise, in the second and third exercises, when Mario showed the tactical movement he thought of, Alex patted Jaejin on the back.

“Oh, such a Korean magician! What kind of magic did you cast on Mario!”

Jae-jin, who was observing the situation close to the field with the coach’s permission, suddenly burst into laughter at Alex’s actions of praising him with a big smile.

“I just worked hard.”

“It makes me want to scout as a coach!”

“haha. I’ll see you later if the agent doesn’t work well.”

“then. Coaches like you are welcome to contact me anytime.”

After training like that, Alex gathered the players and slowly opened his mouth.

“I’ll announce the next full Brantford starting roster.”

—

The Den, the home stadium where Millwall’s cheering song resounds.

Jaejin took a seat near the home team bench, not the seat he always cheered for.

The stadium was full today, and the supporters’ seats on the second floor were engulfed in enthusiasm even before the game started.

[Number 11! Jade Wallace!]

“Wow-! Jade- Wallace!”

[Number 28! Shane Cooper!]

“Shane- Cooper-!”

[Number 15! Lee Meredith]

When the names of the players were called one or two and only one last player remained, the stadium filled with a strange roar.

[Number 19! Mario Baru!]

“Wow-!”

When Mario’s name was called, a small cheer resounded in the arena.

It was definitely a little cheering compared to the players who were called before.

There seemed to be boos mixed in between the small cheers.

Jae-jin looked at Mario’s expression, but there was no change in his expression that was worth paying attention to. Rather, Jae-jin was nervous and fixed his gaze on the field with a slightly excited expression.

On the field, Mario had a serious conversation with the midfielders, and when he made eye contact with Jaejin, he smiled and raised his thumb.

‘Is that mean not to worry?’

Jaejin waved his hand moderately, and the match started with the referee’s whistle.

“Can Mario do well?”

“Of course not! It’s been awhile since I’ve played since the damn spear. I would have lost a lot of practical sense.”

“I don’t know what the director is thinking.”

It wasn’t as much as the supporters’ seats where they often went to cheer, but the fans behind the bench were also Millwall’s fans.

Even in the general audience, the team itself was synonymous with hooligans, so there was no abusive language, but there were a lot of people who could change immediately if the game went wrong.

[Millwall players calmly solve the early game.][Recently, there have been a lot of injuries in the squad, so he showed a bad side, right?][And after two months, Mario Baruwa returned to the field.][I’m worried that my sense of practice may have gone down.]

From right wing to central midfielder back to left wing.

A player from the defensive midfielder receives a pass and goes back to the right.

Millwall moved forward little by little, widening the pitch.

[The Millwall Stadium is widely used. The forward and lateral passes are properly mixed.]

If each other’s camps are in perfect condition, there is a high chance that they will be blocked even if they attack.

So it was necessary to create a rift in the opposing formation, and Millwall was doing the job well as Alex had wished.

‘Now.’

And the moment Brantford had a break, Jaejin thought. At the time Jaejin thought, Mario was already taking over the pass from the empty space.

“Wow-!”

“Shoot! shoot! Shoot!”

The audience shouted for a shot at the chance they had from the beginning, and Brantford’s central defenders rushed to close the distance.

However, Mario didn’t do anything during that brief period of time, and the hearts of those who supported Millwall were terribly wracked with it. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

And the moment the defenders rushed to close range, Mario lightly kicked the ball in the opposite direction of sight.

Where the ball rolled, there was a rushing striker from the side, and as the ball moved, the sights of the Brantford players changed.

In that gap, Mario ran into the box and the ball was connected to Mario in the box with one touch.

And this happened within a few seconds, and Mario got into a one-on-one situation with the goalkeeper.

“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!”

The cheers of the audience only grew higher and higher.

Mario lightly pushes the ball as if passing it in the opposite direction of the goalkeeper who jumps out towards him.

The ball rolled at a slow speed and lightly shook Brantford’s net.

“Wow-! goal! goal!”

[This is a beautiful goal of Millwall to see with a lot of effort!][The goal was perfectly tactical. It seems that Alex has prepared a lot.][The surprise selection of Mario, who was particularly worried, has been very successful so far.]

As the attacking chance progressed, the cheers of the crowd that grew louder and louder rang out as Mario scored a goal and asked them to leave the stadium.

Mario, who scored the goal, clenched his fists as if excited by the goal after a long time, and ran off the field.

And when he made eye contact with Jaejin in front of the home team bench, he started spinning his hands around, as if he was teleporting from Bobble’s movie Doctor Stranger.

After the ceremony, Mario looked at Jaejin behind his bench and smiled once more.

‘Puha. I really can’t stop.’

It wasn’t much of a move, but when Jaejin saw Mario like that, he felt his heart swell with complex emotions he didn’t know what to expect.

—

As soon as the match was over, Mario, who was selected as the MOM (the best player in the game), simply wiped his sweat with a towel and had an interview in front of a billboard.

“He started for the first time in a long time since the game against Leeds, and at the same time recorded one goal and one assist. How are you feeling?”

“It’s been a long time since I stood on the field of The Den and listened to the fans’ cheers, so I definitely feel like I’m back.”

“You returned to the field after a long time, how did you show such a good side?”

At the other reporter’s question, Mario burst out laughing.

“The help of Millwall, WSG and Korean Bro who believed in me was a huge help.”

“Was the ceremony for scoring the first goal a ceremony for the Korean Bro?”

At the reporter’s sharp question, Mario smiled and nodded his head.

“Yes, that’s right. It was a ceremony for a magician from a country called Korea. He used to be not Harry Potter, but to me he seems like an outstanding magician like Harry Potter or Doctor Strange.”

Jaejin, who met eyes at the same time as Mario’s humorous answer, burst into laughter as if in a stadium.

At the end of the press conference, the news suddenly popped out, and the reporters were keenly aware of Mario’s unfinished mouth.

“After I completed the first quest that Bro gave me, I got the same reward as today. I think I will be able to show you a better side of me if I proceed with the second quest soon.”
