Chapter 46

Today’s information

[Through self-management, it is possible to live an active duty life over 40.]

After her interview, Mario left the press conference with a smile, and Jaejin also left the press conference room.

The reporters caught up with club officials they knew each other to find out about the Korean Bro that Mario was talking about.

“Who is the Korean Bro that Mario was talking about? Do you know anything?”

“Ah? That Korean Magician? I heard that he was an agent and instructor assigned to Mario by WSG. Isn’t your skill a joke? That Mario is changing little by little.”

And the interview, told by Millwall’s coach, was published in a small local newspaper alongside Mario’s interview.

It was the result of Jaejin’s achievement after one month of overseas expansion.

[What the hell happened in a month?]

Boris, who was worried when he said he would take on Mario, called and asked Jaejin in surprise.

[There is no fuss here either. What kind of magic did you use?]

“Magic, what? I just worked hard.”

[It is said that Asians are humble. Don’t go anywhere but say that to me. If it was just possible to work hard, the agents who have worked through Mario so far will swear by them saying they didn’t work hard.]

Perhaps because expectations for Mario have already been lowered a lot, even within the agent, he said that Jaejin is being mentioned a lot rather than looking at Mario from a new perspective.

[There he came to Europe less than a month ago.]

“It’s already been a month. I’ll make sure to go to the Netherlands to see Jinyoung sometime. Are you still Jinyoung?”

[Still not. Oh, and yet, Jinyoung Lee asked me to say hello to you. I’m telling you to come play sometime.]

Jinyoung Lee easily took the left defensive position in Eindhoven and was already making a name for himself.

In particular, perhaps because of the scarcity of good defenders, the news that Jinyoung Lee had been active for a while has already been heard by the big club scouting team, and even to Jaejin.

Ding Dong-

After the call, Jaejin visited Mario’s house and, as usual, pressed the bell and waited for Mario.

After the match against Brantford, Mario showed a good start, starting a few more times.

Because weight or muscle problems can’t make rapid progress, so it was something that had to be done with other training.

“Yo! Bro! I’m here? Just open the door and come in!”

Jaejin went to Mario’s house with the second report.

“Hey, Bro! Is this the second quest?”

“A quest?”

“Bro said step by step. The first quest is to lose weight and gain muscle!”

“Pooh!”

Jaejin, who now understands the meaning of the quest said in the interview, burst into laughter.

“That’s right. Second quest.”

Jaejin presented a report with the following directions.

“Would you like to read it?”

Jaejin’s second report was a report that contained changes in his play style.

He lost weight, gained muscle, and showed that he was able to keep up with team training, and he showed good performances in recent matches, but he was still feeling a lot of pain in his knee, so Jaejin moved ahead with his plan a little bit earlier than expected.

It’s easy to explain the tactics I did with Jaejin the other day, and if I put in effort and a little money, anyone could do it.

It was just that Mario opened his heart to Jae-jin, who was genuinely kind to him, and listened to Jae-jin.

“Well.”

And when he read the shocking report that only Jaejin could do, Mario’s expression hardened considerably.

“I think now is the best time. Obviously Mario is doing well right now, but my judgment is that he won’t be able to survive in that style forever.”

Changes in play style in the report.

In particular, restrictions on turns that put a lot of strain on the knee and strengthening of physical and air superiority, which are existing strengths. And it was written about the off-the-ball movement and diversification of attack methods.

And the reason Mario’s expression hardened was because it was such a sudden change.

Of course, Jaejin’s report was not wrong.

His knee was a consumable item, and Mario knew that if he continued his playstyle like this, it would cause problems.

“Especially, the pressure on my knees is too heavy. The knee cannot go back to the way it was in the past, so we have to save the knee and create various attack routes to make the defending players pick up on Mario.”

Mario closed the report and fell in thought.

Thinking about whether you should change your playstyle that you have maintained so far, and what would be the meaning of changing your playstyle at the age of your early 30s.

All sorts of thoughts about whether I should take this kind of risk at a time when I was just about to get better again now lingered.

And most importantly, Jaejin’s words that he couldn’t run long with his play style hurt his pride.

His turn was proprietary and he could not easily accept it because he had been through the football field with his current playstyle.

“Well. I’ll think about it, Bro.”

However, because of the dedication and results that Jaejin has shown to him so far, Mario could not easily refuse.

“I see. Think about it and tell me.”

Jaejin also understood Mario’s situation, so he ended up nodding his head.

She said that the relationship between herself and Mario was, to be precise, that of a customer and an instructor, and the choice was up to Mario.

“Is this a bang again?”



Jaejin was walking around the soccer field around Millwall based on the information he received from WSG.

And after the 4th division team, Crawley Town FC, finished the match, and as if it was not easy to recover, he crumpled up the wrapper of the sandwich he ate and threw it in the trash.

In the case of England, the football league was so crazy about football that there were 24 divisions.

Of course, leagues other than the 4th division, which are classified as professional leagues, are called non-league soccer, but Jaejin visited the soccer field whenever he had time and reported on the players regardless of the league.

“Am I high-eyed? Or maybe I haven’t met a good player yet.”

And he’s seen a lot of players for over two weeks, but no one has yet been signed by Jaejin as an agent.

As soon as I started the car to return to Millwall, Jaejin’s cell phone rang.

It was the first number I saw, and it was a new cell phone that I opened after coming to a foreign country.

“Hello?”

Therefore, not many people knew Jae-jin’s phone number, and Jae-jin was skeptical and answered the phone.


[Agent Song Jae-jin’s cell phone?]

“Yeah. Yes. Who are you?”

[My name is David Tennant.]

“Yeah?”

[May I meet you?]

‘That David Tennant I know?’

Jaejin stopped the accident for a moment when he heard the man’s words over his cell phone and then started turning quickly.

“Do you have a good time?”

[It doesn’t matter if there is no game day.]

“How about tomorrow afternoon?”

Jaejin raised Tottenham’s game schedule, and because tomorrow was a day off, he quickly made an appointment.

[You are cool. good. The time and place will be sent via text message.]

“Yeah. see you tommorow.”

When the call ended, Jaejin looked at his cell phone with a puzzled expression.

After passing the Tottenham youth academy, he was promoted to the 2nd and 1st teams.

At the age of 38, he appeared as a substitute from time to time and was a franchise player for Tottenham’s leading team.

‘I know the situation is not so good right now.’

However, he wasn’t just a player, he was also a great player.


In his prime, other clubs bitterly courted him, but he remained at Tottenham until the very end, a player loved by fans.

Now that he’s older, he doesn’t show as much as he used to, but he was a player who could do his job well enough with the experience and cleverness he had accumulated over the years.

‘But why is that David Tennant me?’

“Here it is.”

“Good morning! It’s an honor to meet you. David Tennance.”

“Please feel free to call me David.”

‘Are you really David Tennant? What?’

The next afternoon, Jaejin met David Tennant at a cafe outside London and used his skills.

[Name: David Tennant][Age: 38 years old.][Potential: Gold][Possible positions: RM, LM, CM][Appropriate position: CM]

‘Huh? Wasn’t David a winger?’

David Tennant was known in the past as a winger and an explosive dribbler, so he questioned the proper position the system gave him.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“What made you want to meet me?”

In response to the question, David kept his mouth shut for a while as if he couldn’t easily bring up the story, and then brought up Mario’s story, whether he was still too embarrassed to say it out loud. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

“Ah. I enjoyed Mario’s interview. They praised Mario for being a Korean magician.”

“Ah. This is so embarrassing. I’m a Korean magician. I am just an agent.”

“It’s a Mario-like naming sense.”

Tennant giggled and opened his mouth slowly.

“Mario told me to ask ‘Korean Bro’ if he had any concerns. He gave me his number.”

“Are you Mario? What are you up to?”

“I’ve been playing at Tottenham for nearly 20 years.”

“right. Tottenham Hotspur franchise star and legend. By the way?”

“I want to retire after 20 years at Tottenham. I’m curious what agent Song Jae-jin thinks. Oh, of course, will you keep the secret?”

“Speak of course.”

At David Tennant’s words, Jaejin quickly inferred the current situation.

“Aren’t you currently affiliated with an agency?”

At Jaejin’s question, David Tennant’s expression suddenly darkened.

‘Is the tenant’s agency now Lion Gate?’

I knew it was an agency of some size, even if it wasn’t that big, but when my expression darkened, I predicted that there would definitely be a conflict of opinion between the agency and the players.

“The contract with the agency is until this year. The contract with the team is until next year. When I talked about it now, the agency suggested a transfer at the same time as the contract extension. Chinese league. to America.”

“Ah.”

“While I was thinking about it, I saw Mario’s interview. To score goals and hold a ceremony for someone would mean that trust has been built.”

Recommending the Chinese or American leagues rather than any other team in England could only be interpreted as a sign that the agency would take a part in the down payment.

“So I am asking. I was just wondering what you think.”

It was a situation in which I had no choice but to ask such a question to Jae-jin, whom I had never seen before.

He can’t trust his agency. This was the reason why he called after thinking after receiving Jaejin’s number from Mario in a situation where it was not appropriate for anyone to ask him about it. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

“Do you want to continue your active duty until you are 40?”

“Yeah. Until the age of 40.”

Jaejin fell into silence when he heard the answer, and David Tennant knew it was not an easy answer, so he drank coffee without looking at Jaejin.

“How far can you go to play for Tottenham until you are 40?”
