Player Information Patch
The World Cup fever is on. Many new heroes are born and old heroes are disappearing from people’s eyes. Players who performed well in the World Cup are receiving attention from fans and the media, and the transfer market that has not yet opened is heating up.
Notts County was one step away from that heat. Cha Beom-soo and Kim Si-woong’s performance was mediocre. They defended themselves well, but they couldn’t save the team. The two of them can’t fill all the gaps in the Korean team.
Hector also ended his World Cup journey with one goal. Hector, who played as a winger, crossed the ball more often than directly attacked. He could not show his scoring ability due to the lack of support from his teammates.
England surprisingly beat Germany in the round of 16. Of course, a few days later England failed to advance to the semifinals and packed their bags. Teams that traditionally value defense, such as Switzerland and Italy, performed well in the World Cup.
“Coach, I would like to change my position to defensive midfielder. I would like to hear your advice.”
Kim Si-woong, who returned to the team early after returning from vacation, found his spirit. Kim Si-woong played as a defensive midfielder in an away game against Tottenham last season, marking Eriksen. Kim Si-woong could not forget the sense of liberation he felt in that game.
– We are currently working on a fix.
– Kim Si-woong’s best position is defensive midfielder. His potential is evaluated upward from 56 to 66.
‘Is this a game? What is this sudden patch?’
An emergency patch suddenly appeared for games with poor balance. Kishin sent Kim Si-woong back, saying he would think about it for a bit and give an answer. Then Black came in the afternoon.
“Coach, I heard you brought in two central defenders?”
As Kishin nodded, Black continued speaking.
“Then I’ll play left wingback.”
– Black’s optimal position is left wingback.
– Increased potential from 71 to 79.
‘What the heck? This isn’t a game, this is reality. What are you doing all of a sudden?’
Although he didn’t show it on the outside, Kishin was very angry. In the last meeting with Shingi, the possibility that the current situation was a game was raised again. And now that the game-like situation has appeared, he was so angry that he thought he was going crazy.
– This information terminal is responsible for collecting, analyzing, and outputting information. Errors in the existing evaluation method were discovered and corrected.
It is said that in the past, when evaluating a player’s fit position and potential, the player’s personality was not included. As time went by, it was discovered that personality had a great influence on the player, and the information was collected and analyzed accordingly to change the evaluation.
Kim Si-woong received a lot of criticism for his position as right fullback. He had no choice but to play as right fullback, but he only focused on defense and had no intention of joining the attack. He had not shown good performance as right fullback since childhood, and this cast a dark shadow over his mind.
After having a decent defensive ability, he played as a defensive midfielder and felt liberated. He felt much freer after leaving the fullback position. And he showed a good performance by keeping Eriksen in check. And after that game, he started to show his attacking tendencies little by little.
Black is a player with a strong sense of heroism. He wanted to be a striker, but he accepted reality and changed his position to a central defender, but his heroism did not disappear. He suppressed his heroism with a strong sense of responsibility, but the position that suits him best is wingback, who must be good at both offense and defense.
In a three-back tactic, the wingback is responsible for the attack and defense of one side alone. He may receive help from other players, but he must be able to handle it alone even without any help. This is the position that suits Black the most, as he has a strong sense of responsibility and heroism.
‘No more?’
Fortunately or unfortunately, it ended with two players. It is fortunate that the potential of both players has increased and there is room for further development, but it is not known how long it will take for them to adapt to their new positions and reach a level where they can play in the game.
‘It’s getting more and more confusing. Let’s just do our best, whether it’s a game or reality.’
I constantly doubt and then conclude that it is reality. Then I doubt again and conclude again. I have already gone through this process several times. Because of those processes, my spirit has not wavered.
In the training match, Kim Si-woong played as a defensive midfielder and Black played as a wingback. Kasper played as the right wingback. Both have some shortcomings in defense, but there is no major problem in attacking power.
All the players brought in from Korea have signed youth contracts and are training with the youth team. Kishin and Harvey sometimes go to help with training. Notts County has hired new coaches and is focusing on the 16 newly signed players.
Perhaps because it was a position that suited their personalities, Black and Kim Si-woong quickly adapted. They showed confidence in an unfamiliar position, perhaps because they had more experience and improved abilities than when they first came to Notts County. Of course, Black made more mistakes than his confidence.
Cha Beom-soo returned a little late. After finally confirming that Cha Beom-soo’s ability level was over 70, Ki-shin gained a little more confidence. It seems that the World Cup was a good stimulus for Cha Beom-soo and Kim Si-woong. Kim Si-woong decided to change positions, and Cha Beom-soo returned with an improved appearance.
A few days later, Beno returned. Having not played a single game in the World Cup, Beno was in a state of psychological unrest. The German coach mainly fielded players who were active in Germany. Despite Beno’s decent performance in the Premier League and his knowledge of English players, he was not selected for the match against England.
He wants to return to the Bundesliga, but there are few teams that can afford Beno’s transfer fee and wages. Only Bayern Munich, Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund can afford it. However, these three teams have a stable regular at left fullback and do not necessarily need Beno.
Beno watched other players train for a few days to calm his mind. If you train hard when your mind is in disarray and you can’t focus, you run the risk of getting hurt. Knowing this, Beno focused on team training as much as possible and didn’t do any individual training. Only after calming his mind did he start intense training.
The last to return to the team was Hunter. He was substituted in just one game at the World Cup and played for 14 minutes. They brought him up to take advantage of Hunter’s speed in a situation where the game was already decided. It was not much different from Beno’s treatment, but Hunter was full of confidence because he played in a World Cup game.
‘Is this guy a real genius?’
Fundamentals that were 5 became 8, and finishing ability that was 6 became 9. Dribbling is still 3, but trapping went from 5 to 8. Shooting accuracy went from 5 to 7, and attacking positioning went from 10. However, boldness went from 9 to 7.
At the end of the season, Hunter’s ability was 69. But after the World Cup, he suddenly came back with an ability of 81. Kishin felt that Hunter was too unfamiliar.
“The Shaman, I’ve been spying on other players’ training throughout the World Cup.”
‘You came here to film a martial arts novel instead of playing soccer?’
It wasn’t a single-minded martial arts, so why would he need to spy on the training? However, Kishin didn’t interrupt the hunter. He was very curious about the reason for his sudden development.
“Well, players like Harry Kane were training their fundamentals really hard. So I analyzed it with my genius brain. I realized that I was not improving because I lacked fundamentals. So I secretly trained my fundamentals hard every day.”
Before a big game, we do basic training to check and adjust our condition. It’s nothing special. The most effective way to check your physical condition is to check your basics.
And in the latter half of last season, Kishin clearly told Hunter to do basic training. Of course, it’s not that he really thought he lacked basics. Basics or trapping or a value of 5 is not that bad. He just said that for the purpose of reducing shooting training.
But the genius hunter did not listen to the words of the god. Of course, he invested more time in basic and trapping training as the god said. However, he spent more time on shooting training.
Then, I was shocked that Harry Kane barely did any shooting training and only did basic training, so I stopped shooting training. I focused on basic training and trapping training. Ironically, when I stopped shooting training, my shooting accuracy improved.
The hunter just kept repeating the process of heating and pounding. He didn’t have time for pickling. When he stopped shooting training and spent time training basic skills, his shooting accuracy increased.
His fundamentals, trapping, positioning, and shooting accuracy have improved, and his finishing ability has also reached 9. Hunter has now become a flawless attacker, except for his dribbling.
Harry Kane also only scored 17 goals between the 2013 and 2014 seasons. Five of them were in the 3rd division and nine were in the 2nd division. Even so, he only scored a total of 17 goals in 4 years. However, from the 2014 and 2015 seasons, he scored more than 20 goals every season.
Kishin’s heart pounded. He felt like Hunter would make a big mistake this year. Hunter had grown in all aspects except for dribbling. Aside from Hector, he had another stable scorer.
There is another player who showed a big change. It is Gray. After watching the Sansis and Grujic matches for a long time without feeling anything, Gray searched the Internet himself. While looking through the videos of many players, he became interested in Gattuso’s videos.
Gray was intrigued by the sight of Gattuso running without stopping. If soccer wasn’t fun, no matter how physically fit you were, you wouldn’t be able to run like that. Gray paused the video at the scene where Gattuso’s bright smile appeared and then reminisced.
He recalled why he played soccer and why he wanted to play soccer. Gray, who has autism and is less fluent than his peers, was afraid of interacting with children. For Gray, playing soccer is the only time he interacts with others. Soccer allows him to communicate with others even without language.
Gray, who has difficulty speaking at the orphanage, has no one to appeal to when he is wronged. He suffered much persecution before he became physically fit as he grew older. Gray, who has difficulty speaking and is afraid of talking to others, interacted with others one-sidedly through soccer.
Gray shed tears as he looked at Gattuso’s brightly smiling face. He was certainly happy when the team won, when his teammates scored, when the team won the trophy. But what really made Gray happy were the moments when he had a heart-to-heart conversation with his teammates.
Gray expanded his scope of activity through his own efforts every year. Even without Cha Beom-soo, the defense was able to do one person’s job. However, it was achieved through Gray’s efforts. He forced himself to do things he didn’t want to do for the sake of the team.
Gray continued to watch Gattuso’s matches. When Gattuso won, he smiled brightly, and when he lost, his face became pale. When he lost the championship, he even shed tears. Gray became Gattuso in the video and ran on the field with him. The cold ice in Gray’s heart slowly melted away at Gattuso’s passion.
