Shingi, spurring player recruitment
After successfully using magic, Shingi immediately practiced various magic. However, some of the magic he cast was changed to ice magic. For example, when he tried to make a fire arrow, an ice arrow came out. And after using magic a few times, his body immediately became abnormal.
“Your body is not adapted to the use of magic. Is this something that cannot be helped, since your body grew up in a world without mana?”
Shin-gi, lying on the bed, waited for his body to regain its strength. Meanwhile, he thought about the players he needed to recruit. He could think of the names or affiliations of the other players, but he couldn’t think of anything about Mexico’s centerback. Then the phone rang.
“Yes, this is Gishin.”
“Director Ki, this is Eric Hunter. Where are you now?”
“This is Mexico. We’re here to recruit players.”
“Marco Hernánio? Have you met and talked to him?”
“Not yet. I’m resting for a while because I’m not feeling well.”
“We’ve negotiated a salary of 3,500 pounds a week. Just come and sign.”
“Thank you for your hard work. Once we finish recruiting the players, we will sign the contracts soon.”
After finishing the call, Shingi, who had regained some strength, immediately called the hotel front desk and asked them to find out how to contact Marco Hernan. In less than ten minutes, Shingi received Marco’s own phone number and immediately called him.
“I am Gisin, the manager of Notts County. I would like to meet and talk to Mr. Marco. I wonder when would be a good time for you?”
Marco decided to come to the hotel where Shingi was staying. Shingi finished the call and went back to bed to recover his energy. Half an hour later, the phone rang again and Marco called Shingi to the bar in the basement of the hotel. Shingi got dressed and headed there.
“I am Kishin, the manager of Notts County. I have come to you to recruit you.”
“Isn’t that Notts County, a fourth division team?”
“It’s the third division. And it’s a team that’s participating in the Europa League this season.”
“I know that, but I have no intention of going to a third division team for six Europa League games.”
“I don’t think Wenger’s Arsenal or Guardiola’s Manchester City would have even thought of handing us the trophy in the final. It seems that only stronger teams than Arsenal or Manchester City appear in the Europa League.”
“It’s hard to predict the winner or loser in a one-off match.”
“Notts County, a fourth-tier side, played Manchester City three times last season – two League Cup semi-finals and the FA Cup final. We have a better record than Manchester City, winning two and losing one.”
“Then try to convince me more logically. Don’t say that because you did well last season, you will do well this season too.”
“The World Cup is being held in Russia this year. We don’t have a single national team player. I’m sure you know the aftereffects of the World Cup. My goals for this season are promotion to the second division and winning the Europa League. If we win the Europa League, we can participate in the Champions League next season, right?”
Players who participate in the World Cup often lose their rhythm and struggle in club matches. That is why the season after the World Cup is expected to see a rebellion from weaker teams. If this persuasion does not work, there is no other way.
“It’s a very compelling argument, but can Notts County afford my wages?”
“That’s simple. How about we give you a portion of the transfer fee when you move to another team?”
“Then let’s have a drink and leave the negotiations to my agent and the club.”
Marco Hernan is in a state of severe pride. He was excluded from the national team for this World Cup. He may not be a regular player, but he is good enough to be on the bench, but the association said they would give a chance to young players and excluded Marco. He vowed to show great performance in the Europa League and make all the media criticize the association and the coach.
Shin-gi, who woke up in the morning with a clear mind, found a flight to Colombia. The target of this recruitment, Eduardo, is a 26-year-old midfielder. He served two years in prison for helping to transport drugs and is currently unemployed. He also has Danish citizenship, so there is no need to worry about a work permit.
“I am Kishin, the manager of Notts County. I have come to you to recruit you.”
“A criminal like me?”
“You’ve been framed.”
Eduardo jumped up and glared at the spirit with eyes that seemed to drip fire.
“Nobody believes me.”
“I believe.”
In fact, before his body changed, Shingi injected mana into the game console to decrypt the data and access the players’ information. That’s why he knows that Eduado was falsely accused. When Eduado was playing soccer in the Argentine league, he was asked to fix matches, and when he refused and reported it to the police, they framed him and put him in prison.
It was meant as a warning that talking about match-fixing would be useless. Eduardo, who was a promising player, survived. If he had been a player who didn’t receive much attention, they would have simply killed him and silenced him.
Shingi called Eric Hunter and asked him to be Eduardo’s agent and help negotiate a contract, and Eric readily agreed. After finishing his schedule in Colombia, Shingi boarded a plane to Europe. The destination was not England, but Italy.
Bonavici is a player of the Italian Atalanta youth team. However, he was released due to disobeying the coach’s instructions and making many impulsive actions during the game. Bonavici, who is 178 cm tall but weighs only 70 kg, aspires to be a striker. However, the coach wanted to use Bonavici, who has good fundamentals, as a midfielder.
“Are you Stefan Bonavich?”
“Do you know me?”
“That’s right. I heard he was twenty, but he looked much younger so I didn’t think so. This is Notts County manager Gisin, the man who took the trophy away from Arsenal and Manchester City.”
Bonavichi shook hands with Gishin in a daze. Gishin took Bonavichi, who was not fully aware of the situation, into a coffee shop.
“I was interested in you so I did some research on you. I heard you’ve had a hard time meeting incompetent managers. Anyone can tell you have the potential to be a striker, but all the managers use you as a midfielder.”
Bonavich has excellent fundamentals and has shown average performance in many aspects. He is a talent suitable for development as an all-round midfielder, but Bonavich himself wanted to be a striker and often moved up to the striker position during games and failed to return to the midfielder position during defense.
“Your ability makes you a perfect fit for a midfielder. However, your temperament is more suited to being a striker. The managers did not respect your wishes and tried to change you to suit their own tastes. I don’t understand how a youth coach could think like that.”
A comprehensive midfielder is really necessary for the team. He doesn’t get much attention, but he is a really important player for increasing the stability of the team. Eduardo, whom I met in Colombia, is just such a player. Bonavich’s abilities are also suitable for a midfielder, but his nature is extremely aggressive.
“I see you as a player similar to Griezmann at Atletico Madrid. An all-round striker who can play as a striker and as a midfielder. And Notts County are in the Europa League this season. Why not show your talents on the European stage and give a slap in the face to those incompetent managers who are blinded by holes in their eyes?”
Bonavich couldn’t answer a word because he was struggling to understand Shingi’s thick Nottingham accent. But when he deciphered Shingi’s words, he liked what he heard. It was as if they had entered his mind and come out of it.
“Can I play as a regular in the Europa League?”
“With your current level, of course it’s possible. Notts County is only a third-tier team. It wouldn’t be difficult for someone like you to become a regular in the second division.”
Shingi, who connected Bonavich with Eric Hunter, quickly moved to Spain. There were about ten days left until the opening match of the World Cup. Since he had to prepare for the next season, he could only watch the group matches. With Eric’s help, Shingi got a few tickets. The only match he could get was the last match against Germany.
Jose, 21 years old this year, is a center back. However, he failed to extend his contract with Barça because he made critical mistakes in every game. There are several teams that have made offers to Jose now, but they are all lower league teams, so he has no intention of signing a contract.
“Hello, Jose, I’m the Notts County legend. I’ve played against Guardiola three times and beaten him twice.”
Jose is technically a complete player, but he is mentally very unstable. That is why he often makes fatal mistakes in the center back position. When he is in good condition, he shows stability that makes you want to bring him to the first team right away, but the problem is that he does not have even five such games a year.
“If it’s Notts County, isn’t that a team that just got promoted to the third division?”
“This is a team that will win the third division this season and a team that is aiming to win the Europa League.”
Jose laughed at Shingi’s words and didn’t even try to hide it.
“Do you think a third division team can win the Europa League?”
“We won the League Cup and FA Cup with a 4th division team. Did anyone think it was possible?”
Jose was speechless at Shingi’s words.
“You also dream of becoming a regular player for Barcelona. Do you think it’s possible and are you taking on the challenge?”
Jose’s pride was trampled by Shingi. However, Jose couldn’t fight back right away because it was difficult to speak English, although it was okay to listen.
“The teams that have contacted you right now are all lower league teams anyway. I promise you a starting spot in the Europa League. And if a transfer request comes in, I will unconditionally agree as long as the price is right. Is there any team that can make you such an attractive offer right now?”
Jose is a player with strong pride and ambition. Fortunately, this time his ambition won over his pride. If he continues to play in lower leagues or lower teams in La Liga, he may never play in the Europa League. If he can include a clause in his contract with Notts County that makes him a regular player in the Europa League, he will consider signing a contract for about two years.
Shin Ki, who signed a three-year contract after moving to England, has moved to Russia. The club is currently making a big deal out of tryouts. There are already Turner, who became a regular player through last year’s tryout and made a big name for himself, and Hunter, who is renowned as a big-game player, so many players will participate. Among the player data, there are also those who have never been on a soccer team and have no information. I hope those people will participate in the tryouts.
Shingi, who arrived in Russia, eagerly anticipated the start of the World Cup. In Shingi’s world, where there are less than ten countries, the World Cup is impossible. Only countries like England, which have treasures that can protect the entire country, can leisurely play soccer games. In the family’s territory, there is a soccer game about once a month, and Shingi disguised himself as a commoner and went to watch.
Shingi, who had high expectations and watched the opening match, was greatly disappointed. The tactics and techniques were certainly much better. However, because the physical abilities were different from those of Shingi’s world, who were influenced by mana, the intensity of the match was greatly lacking. In fact, Shingi liked the intensity of soccer more than tactics, so the World Cup match was less fun than neighborhood soccer.
‘Shit, should I just go back?’
