GOAT: All Football Talents Are Mine

Chapter 3: 003. Restart(3)



"Shootdori?"

As Woo Hwang-seon frowned, his mother Kim Hee-seon asked.

"What is that?"

It was completely normal for the couple not to know.

The youth development program called 'Run, Shoot Dori' was not widely known to everyone as it was to be aired for the first time this year.

"Here you go!"

Hoyoung grabbed the couple's hands and led them into the room, pointing at the monitor with his finger.

An Internet article was open on the monitor screen.

〈Auditions for Korea's first youth soccer development program, 'Run, Shoot Dori' imminent…'

The couple scratched their heads at the same time when they saw the title of the article written in bold letters.

"What do you mean by shootdori? "Do you know?"

"No, this is the first time? "Was there a program like this?"

Woo Hwang-seon slowly lowered the mouse wheel and read the article.

"Let's see." The 'Run, Shoot Dori' audition, which will be held on September 3, is a new corner of Happy Sunday, which is airing on MBS, and is a youth development program for children between the ages of 8 and 10. Kim Jeong-guk of Turbo, an active singer, will be the coach of FC Shootdori, which will be founded next month…"

Woo Hwang-seon lowered his head with a very serious expression.

Hoyoung opened his bright eyes.

"dad. "I want to do this."

Hoyoung made a cute face in his own way and held the couple's hands tightly.

Then the couple laughed.

"Why is our Hoyoung so energetic today?"

"Hahaha! "If my son wants to do it, of course we should let him do it!"

Woo Hwang-seon smiled cheerfully and accepted.

What parent would be able to refuse this desire for a child who will not feel pain even if they put it in their eyes?

Moreover, it didn't cost me any money to audition, so there was absolutely no reason not to say yes.

Time passed and it was already Saturday, September 3rd.

The location was Paju NFC, the training facility of the Korea Football Association, which was originally used by all levels of the national soccer team, but for today, it was scheduled to be used for the run and shoot audition.

While the audition was being prepared, the production team gathered together to review the final documents.

"So you're saying you're going to narrow it down to at least eight and up to ten of these people?"

"That's right."

Producer Choi Hyeong-jae, holding the megaphone, waved 300 pages of documents.

The competition rate is about 30 to 1.

There were as many as 300 applicants, and in fact, the document screening had already been completed last night.

"There's nothing to look at for too long, let's just focus on the kids we summarized yesterday."

About thirty children were selected before the auditions even began.

The basis for classification was definitely appearance.

Although it was disguised as a youth development program, PD Choi Hyeong-jae's plan was to further highlight its nature as an entertainment show.

It will be helpful for box office success if the cast members who are expected to be successful have a fair and cute appearance.

"Then do you select them without looking at their skills at all?"

There was a young man on one side of the table who was curious.

"Ah, Mr. Jungkook."

Kim Jeong-guk.

He was a singer who was cast as the director of Shootdori, and he had narrow eyes that disappeared every time he smiled.

Producer Choi Hyeong-jae answered.

"well. The concept was taken as a challenge for those in last place. Unless it's good enough to attract attention, I won't include it at all. Oh. And Jungkook decided to take a test for the kids today, right?"

"yes."

"I'm going to produce that as a promotional video, so please watch over the kids. But don't be too gentle. Just enough to make it interesting. "You know what I mean?"

"sure. I will do my best."

When Kim Jung-guk expressed his ambition, PD Choi Hyeong-jae stood up.

"Okay then, let's take a look. "Do you have a friend who can be rescued?"

The audition was held in a mini soccer set surrounded by a tent.

Soon, the participants entered one by one in order.

"Please introduce yourself to our friend."

"hello. "I am Empress Kim, a 2nd grade student in the 3rd class at Dongseong Elementary School!"

It's already been three hours since the audition started.

Producer Choi Hyeong-jae, like a veteran, had already outlined the cast composition.

'A timid kid. Two naughty guys. One proud kid. One girl. Two cute kids. One handsome kid. 'The cast is sketchy…'

said producer Choi Hyeong-jae, who had organized his thoughts.

"The kid was okay just now, right?"

"yes. Looking at him, it seems like his image as a bit of a kicker and a bad boy would be a hot topic. "There is no overlapping image with other kids."

"okay. Let's put it in the final list and move on. Now next."

Slurp.

"hello!"

A confident voice echoed through the audition room along with the sound of documents being flipped.

Confidence that attracts attention.

However, the moment PD Choi's eyes turned to the child, there was a sour reaction.

"Is your name Woo Ho-young?"

"yes."

"hmm."

He wasn't good looking or tall.

Moreover, by the time he was in his third year of elementary school, he was already past the age of being cute, and he didn't have any notable history.

There were no box office elements in sight.

'At least it's fine.'

Still, PD Choi asked because I had to audition for formality.

"Do you like soccer?"

"yes! Like Land and Sky!!"

"haha! "Then, if you have prepared something like a talent show, would you like to show it to me?"

"yes."

Hoyoung went to the corner and took a soccer ball that was lying on the floor.

"Hey? "Soccer is okay, so would you like to do a talent show?"

"These are my organs."

"hmm?"

"Hehehe!"

That's how Hoyoung's talent show began.

Talk.

Hoyoung put the ball on the top of his foot and started lifting.

It was a basic lift using both feet, but it was not an easy skill to do at a young age.

Moreover, it doesn't end there.

container! container!

"Oh."

"and! Well done!"

I started bouncing the ball using various parts of my body from head to toe.

It was almost like a stunt, so people just watched it with fascination and didn't care about evaluation.

"Hey. "Have you had some practice?"

"Haha… this is so…."

Admiration poured out in droves.

What Hoyoung prepared was not an ordinary individual skill, but rather the skills he had honed over the past month.

Is it a collaboration between the 24-year-old's soccer experience and the talent of a gifted soccer player?

Hoyoung showed everything he had prepared, without missing a single detail.

"and. PD Choi. "Isn't that kid a soccer prodigy?"

"hmm. "It seems like that, but… let's wait and see."

PD Choi said to Hoyoung.

"Then, my friend, we are going to take a simple test from now on. Are you confident?"

"A test?"

As Hoyoung tilted his head, Kim Jeong-guk, the test manager, stepped forward holding a ball.

"I'm going to play a game with my brother from now on, and since he's going to block, Hoyoung is going to score. how is it. Do you understand what I mean?"

"yes."

The testing method was similar to freestyle football played on the street.

You win by hitting the ball into a small goal post in the corner.

Just because you couldn't score a goal didn't mean you were disqualified.

Rather than assessing skills, it was just a test to create scenes to be used in a promotional video for the program.

Therefore, I was planning to take care of Kim Jung-guk as well.

however.

Tap tap.

"what?"

Kim Jeong-guk looked dejected.

Hoyoung easily broke through Kim Jung-guk with a surprise dribble.

"Hey… aren't you only good at lifting?"

Kim Jung-guk said as he passed the ball to Ho-young.

"Shall we try again?"

I wasn't planning on not paying attention this time.

It wasn't because I had a competitive spirit against elementary school students, but because I was really curious.

Is he really gifted or not?

But at that moment, Hoyoung dribbled briefly, opened the shooting angle in an instant, and hit the shot right away!

It's also a fairly heavy mid-distance shot.

Crash!

Kim Jung-guk was truly impressed when the ball hit the net.

"Hey! "You're good!"

It was an intelligent play where he hit a shot from a distance because he was no match for the opponent physically.

Kim Jung-guk, who is known to kick a ball among celebrities, was impressed, so this proved it.

This boy named Woo Ho-young plays soccer.

'nice!'

After completing his turn, Hoyoung left the audition room in good spirits.

Judging from the production team's reaction, it seemed like this would be enough to pass the test.

'The hard practice paid off!'

The first button was inserted properly.

And in the future, if the broadcast was done properly, it would not be unreasonable for him to become famous overnight.

'Pro teams will be anxious to get each other. Then, like Lee Kang-min… hehe.'

Lee Kang-min's best output is definitely Lee Kang-min.

He was a soccer prodigy who rose to stardom by garnering the attention of soccer fans across the country with his overwhelming skills.

Thanks to that, I was able to join the prestigious Spanish club Valencia CF and take the elite course.

'Valencia? I'm going to Barca! Or real?! Anyway, just wait a moment!'

It was that moment when Hoyoung took a step forward with excitement.

"Hoyoung!"

It was a young man who followed Hoyoung out of the audition room.

"Hyung Kim Jung-guk!"

"oh? Do you know who your brother is?"

"yes. "I saw it on Music Bank."

"ha ha ha! I see But you're really good at soccer!"

Kim Jung-guk shook his head and held out his fist to Ho-young.

And when Hoyoung bumped his fists in return, Kim Jeongguk laughed cheerfully.

"Hahaha! child."

"By the way, is your brother appearing here too?"

"huh. "My brother took over as director."

"aha. uh? mom!"

"hmm?"

While Kim Jeong-guk knelt down to be at eye level with Ho-young, Woo Hwang-seon and Kim Hee-seon were walking towards us from the other side.

"hello. "He is the one who becomes Hoyoung's father."

"Ah, it's Hoyoung's father and mother! hello."

When Kim Jeong-guk bowed and greeted Woo Hwang-seon, he tilted his head in response.

"I think I've seen you before somewhere…"

Same goes for Kim Hee-seon.

As my head was itching to think about something, Hoyoung parted his lips.

"dad. It's Kim Jung-guk. "Black cat Nero."

"ah! Oh my. I don't know anyone who is famous. haha. hello."

"Oh no, father. "I saw Hoyoung inside and he was really good at soccer."

"haha! thank you Even though he is my son, I am actually a bit surprised to see him."

"I'm not saying it's not true, but I thought I could go abroad right away?"

"Kkkkkkkkkkk!"

Even though it was their first time seeing each other, they got along well.

"Anyway, I hope there will be good results."

"thank you. Thank you for your hard work."

"yes. Then go in carefully. Fighting, Hoyoung!"

"Fighting too, brother!"

Just as he was about to turn around, writing that he had not been able to see began to flash before Hoyoung's eyes.

"huh?"

"Please recommend some protein supplements…!"
