Chapter 117 – New Team, Eagle’s Nest (3)

117

As soon as the season ended, I returned home, took a break, went on a trip to the US, and negotiated contracts. Almost two months passed before I knew it was July.

Even if there is a slight difference, the summer transfer market in major European leagues, which began between July 1 and 2, started with the transfer of Gabriel Mendy to PSG, and the transfer rumors poured out in succession.

It was on the evening of July 5, when the contract was finally confirmed, that my official official was posted in a football article mixed with all sorts of jokes from the official. It was only four days after the Bundesliga transfer window opened.

Thanks to the club’s active attitude, the contract negotiations, which proceeded quickly, were finalized as of yesterday, and I immediately boarded the plane to Frankfurt for the final procedure, the signature.

When I arrived in Frankfurt, I headed home, not the hotel.
A quiet suburb just outside the city center. A large two-story house with a yard located in an expensive neighborhood inhabited by the wealthy was the house for me, Oh Harin, and Yoon Daye.

During the rental period, Harin Oh and Daye Yoon, who were looking for a house just in case, meticulously checked various conditions and made it a satisfactory mansion in many ways, as it is at the top of the wish list.

As one of the conditions of the contract, the club accepted the request to find a house to live in during the contract period, and it was only two weeks ago that I organized the desired list by rank and handed it over to the club.

It must have been cleaned in advance before we arrived, and all the necessary furniture was prepared in a clean, like-new interior, so we were able to finish organizing our luggage quickly.

My Home… Strictly speaking, it is owned by the club and must be returned at the end of the contract period, but anyway, during the contract period, I had a satisfying first night at My Home and headed to the club.

“Nice to meet you. I’m glad I could be with you again this year.”
“I really appreciate the club’s consideration.”

He shook hands with the director and club executives with a satisfied smile and received a medical test.

As a key player in the team until last season, everyone knows that there is no problem with my body because I received meticulous care from the club’s medical team.

As the series of processes of measuring physical abilities and examining health conditions progressed, the medical team’s buzz grew louder.

“Your physical abilities are so much better! Did you concentrate on exercising during your vacation?”
“Not just a specific area, but the overall ability of the body has risen markedly. Can a player over 20 years old, not even a teenager, do this?”

When the medical team, which had repeatedly admired during the examination, brought a report summarizing the final results, the director and executives opened their mouths.

“No… What is this? Did you measure it right?”
“I am sure. We were also suspicious, so we measured it several times, but nothing was wrong.”
“Huh… Your overall physical abilities have skyrocketed. How is this possible?”

There are innate abilities and those that can be developed through effort.
Of course, the upper limit of all abilities is the realm of talent, but the biggest thing that can be raised through acquired efforts is physical strength.

Just as it is not for nothing that the biggest difference between pros and amateurs is physical strength, even amateurs can boast as good skills as pros in certain areas where they are born with talent, but they cannot follow pros in terms of physical strength.

That is why all teams focused on physical training in the pre-season.
On the other hand, reaction speed, top speed, and acceleration are narrow areas that can be raised through training. In particular, it is not the period of growth in the teens, nor can dramatic changes be expected from players in their 20s after the growth period is over.

“Huh… As for the balance, you can get used to your height and get better… “

So, this reaction is not natural.
He laughed happily at the expected reaction and recited the lines he had prepared.

“Thanks to a great personal trainer.”
“A trainer? What kind of person are you!”

Are you curious?
Would you like to recruit a trainer with such unbelievable magic?

“This is the woman.”
“…….”

I pointed at Yoon Da-ye, who had a puzzled look on her face.
Yeah~ No~ It’s my exclusive trainer.

“Such a young woman… Oh, excuse me. Because I can’t distinguish the age of Asians… Asians all look younghaha.”
“You’re really young.”
“Indeed. This guy was a genius too! She thought that all famous exercise physiologists and fitness coaches knew about it, but she made this mistake. Or, may I know where you belong?”
“It belongs to me.”
“…… ?”

Anyway, the Germans aren’t funny. The joke just doesn’t work.

“I am not affiliated with any specific team or group in the industry.”
“Yeah, that’s right. Ah! Then, did you recently study at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark, which is famous for its exercise physiology, or at the Harvard Fatigue Institute in the United States?”
“I belong to Korea University.”
“Korea University… ? Excuse me, but I’ve never heard of it. Can you tell me?”
“Sure. It is one of the most prestigious universities in Korea.”
“Oh oh! Korea’s most prestigious! Also! I want to know the doctoral dissertation! Your major is also physiology, right? Or medicine?”
“This is the Department of Business Administration.”
“…….”

As her conversation continued, the tips of Yoon Daye’s ears burned red as she lowered her head towards her floor.

“Excuse me, but I’m older… ?”
“I am the same age as you. Oh, by the way, I’m an undergraduate.”
“…….”
“But, more than anyone else, he is a trainer who can create a diet and curriculum that suits my body. In fact, I achieved results through diet control and training during the vacation. Don’t the results prove it?”
“That… I see.”

People shaking their heads.
What to do Really, my physical abilities are growing ridiculously.

【Height 182.7cm｜72kg】

【Possessed Points 131 ▶ 0P】

In preparation for the next season, I invested a whopping 131 points, including the points I had accumulated over six months and the huge points I unintentionally collected during my trip to the United States.

I thought a lot.
Which of these numerous stats should I raise?

First of all, raising ‘genius’ was an established fact, but it was a problem how much to raise, and what other stats to raise was a concern.

After deciding to transfer to Frankfurt, I decided to maximize my strengths as it is a team that uses my own tactics anyway, but another concern was how to distribute points.

After much deliberation, I decided to prioritize.
The first is that ‘strange feeling’.
It takes steady performance to raise my ransom, but the ‘high point’ was important. I’m still a European 21 year old prospect.

The ups and downs are understandable.
The important thing is the ‘high point’ that can measure how far this promising player can grow.

As one super play and one huge high point are important measures of a prospect’s potential, that ‘strange sense’ was needed.

Anyway, the ups and downs are a constant that decreases as you collect points, so from my point of view, it is more important to raise the maximum expectation than anything else.

So I boldly invested 2/3 in genius.

The second is a ‘stand out’ ability that must be done now.
You can upload the mental and tactical parts later.
It’s not that it’s not important, but it’s because ‘visible’ parts like physical ability can’t rise rapidly as you get older.

As players gain experience, their physical abilities decline, but their mental abilities and tactical insights grow.

However, do physical abilities increase with age? Is that a big difference every year?
That’s rather weird

So, I decided to raise the most prominent physical ability first and invested the remaining 1/3. It was also a necessary part of my play style.

Shooting there.
I would be the main scorer for the team’s circumstances, but as one of my nicknames is ‘Hong Nan-sa’, I lacked the ability to score compared to shooting wildly.

* * *

All procedures were finished after taking pictures of signing contracts with the manager and general manager, pictures of shaking hands, and so-called ‘clothing officials’ holding uniforms in the home stadium to post on the official website.

All that remains is the official transfer process between the clubs, but this is nothing to worry about.
In the car returning home after safely completing the contract, Yoon Daye, who had been quiet, asked in an angry tone.

“Is it fun to tease me in a place like that?”
“What?”
“You look very happy. Did you take me with you because you wanted to embarrass me like that?”

It seems that I have misunderstood something very big.

“Why do I do that?”
“I don’t know! How do I know that!

Well… I’m going to confess now, but honestly, when I was young, I was stupid.

“No way. Why am I doing such a childish thing?”
“You are childish.”
“Not really?”

Her face stung at Oh Harin’s gaze staring at Yoon Daye from the seat next to her.

“It’s not like that, it’s because I really need you.”
“Don’t lie. What do I need!”
“I feel stable just by eating the meals you cook and being by my side. You know that psychological stability is important for an athlete, right?

I’m not lying when I say I’m my personal trainer.
In fact, eating meals made by Daye Yoon calms the mind and body and reminds me of Daye Yoon’s masturbation and gets me excited, so he’s a true trainer.

“So that’s it, let’s sign a contract with me now.”
“…Contract?”
“Yes. Be my exclusive trainer.”
“Don’t be ridiculous. Leave that to the experts.”
“No expert is better than you. Without you, I’m doomed.”
“…”

Hearing that she would perish without you, Daye Yoon’s face turned red and the corners of her mouth twitched.

“Really?”
“Yeah! Seriously! I’m doomed without you!”
“…Flaw.”

She clenched her fists as she watched Daye Yoon’s heated earlobe, turning her head as if to hide the corners of her twitching mouth.
Great.
With this, Yoon Daye also confirmed mine.

Oh Harin, who was looking at him with his arms crossed and a rotten expression, couldn’t stand it and kicked.

“Ouch!”

After the contract with the club was finalized, he went to the training ground every morning and spent his vacation training late.

Images of me engrossed in hard training while other athletes were on vacation quickly caught on in the local media and soon spread to Korea.

After spending the vacation period training and capturing images, one or two players are about to return from vacation and start the pre-season.

The Bundesliga schedule has been announced.
Our team’s first round opponent was Bayern Munich, the absolute powerhouse of the Bundesliga.
