Chapter 44

Today’s information

[Mario Baru’s pride is very strong.]

‘After all, in the current situation, it seems difficult to follow the training.’

As expected, Baruwa was not able to participate properly in training.

He did occasionally play pranks with a few players, but that was all.

‘At least I don’t think it’s bullying. good luck If there are problems within the team from the current situation, the work will be several times more difficult.’

“Mario! Don’t skimp on training! So can I go to the game?”

At the coach’s insistence, Mario laughed and started training again, but his body couldn’t keep up with the training.

“It’s serious.”

The club introduced Jaejin as a special instructor for WSG, and the coaches and coaches honestly didn’t think much of Jaejin because they didn’t have much expectations for Mario’s change.

‘It was a look that asked what you could do more than that.’

In fact, there would be no one who did not point out the apparent problem.

In the past, which was evaluated as Mario’s Leeds days, he had a style that puts physical play, rapid change of direction, and air superiority at the forefront.

But now that I can’t show that at all… … .

The biggest problem for him was the weight gain he could see at a glance, even if he wasn’t a system, and that his body couldn’t keep up with his playstyle.

‘You have to start by losing weight.’

Immediately, Jaejin sent an inquiry email to the WSG customer service team.

[Is there anything that Mario Baru and his players can help with with their diet?]

“Mario! Seriously, seriously!”

Mario smiled and raised his hand as if he was sorry, even though the director yelled at him as if he was going crazy.

‘what is the problem? Judging from his training attitude and behavior, he’s definitely not a bad player…’

[Mario Baru’s pride is very strong.][Mario Baruwa is an African-Italian player who grew up in a place where racism is severe.]

Jae-jin, who has recently floated up the information that came to mind, tried to link the information with Mario’s actions.

It was because I thought that there must be a meaning in the information, and that there might be a clue.

[An email has arrived from the WSG customer service team.][Additional cost will be incurred if you hire Mario Baru and the personnel needed to adjust the player’s diet and provide food. The person who had previously hired us canceled the contract when we moved to Millwall. Just in case, I am attaching the last meal plan I used a few years ago.]

At the email from WSG, Jaejin tilted his head and remembered the report he had received from Alcock.

‘Termination? Why? If you are a football player, you must know the importance of diet.’

[Mario Baruwa sends most of his income to his family in Italy.][His younger brother has a rare disease.]

Two lines of the report magnified and came to mind, and Jaejin immediately fell into thought.

Skills only present problems related to soccer and suggest a way to fix them, but the player’s personal problems were something that Jaejin had to figure out and deal with on his own.

After thinking for a while with the hologram window open, Jaejin came to an idea.

‘Yeah, maybe. Maybe for that reason. Let’s do it one by one.’



“How was your training today?”

“It’s always the same. Running, running, hitting. So how was Bro?”

“First of all, the biggest problem is weight. My body is damaged a lot because of my bad eating habits. Did you receive test data from the club recently?”

Jaejin showed the test data on the tablet and played a scene from a recent match.

“Mario plays with physical strength. takeover of the right to offer. And he is a very impressive player with a lateral dribble through a sudden change of direction.”

“right. Bro got it right. That’s my specialty.”

Jaejin shook his head at Mario’s groan.

“But now that body is blocking that style of play. Especially when you gain more fat and lose muscle. Does your knee hurt a lot? After the game is over.”

“Huh. Maybe my playstyle is a style that puts a lot of pressure on my knees, right?”

“Once you know that, you have to fix it. Don’t you want to go upstairs again? Before I start training in earnest, I start by losing weight.”

Mario was aware of the problem, but fixing it was by no means an easy task.

“It is forbidden to eat junk food. Delivery is also prohibited.”

“No bro! So you’re saying you only eat one meal a day? I can’t even cook! Absolutely not!”

As Mario screamed, Jaejin took out the lunch box he had packed.

“For dinner, eat the packed lunch that I brought for a while. Anyway, I have to have dinner too, so I’ll bring Mario while I’m eating.”

“Five. this. Bro. You’re really kind. I heard that Asians are full of affection!”

“What is Jung? He’s the player I’m in charge of. I didn’t intend to force it from the first day, so I made it in various ways.”

Mario smiled excitedly when she found a variety of food in her lunch box, which she thought was a tasteless salad or chicken breast.

“Of course, it’s not free. If I succeed later, I will definitely pay you back.”

“Sure. Bro! You are doing this for me!”

Mario looked at her Jaejin with a genuinely moved expression.

“Instead, you have to stick to your diet. Beer is also prohibited.”

“this! Even beer is banned. The pleasure of a day like this!”

“Don’t you want to be active on the field soon?”

At Jaejin’s remarks about opening and closing Mario, Mario looked at the refrigerator full of beer as if it were a pity, and put the beer he had taken out on the table back into the refrigerator.

While sitting at her table and eating, Jaejin suddenly remembered the spear video he had seen at the pub.

“Mario, do you like wrestling?”

“Five! how did you know? Enjoy WWE! Does Bro have a favorite player?”

“uh. I like Edge.”

Jaejin said the name he heard in the pub, and Mario burst out laughing as if he was in a good mood.

“Oh. Rated R Superstar! Edge’s spear is excellent. In fact, even the spears I flew against the Liz guys followed Edge’s spears and imitated them!”

“It’s not bragging. Spear in football. It’s the first time I’ve seen it in my life.”

Mario talked about wrestling for a long time, probably because he had a common interest in addition to a meal he had not felt alone for a long time.

After lunch, we ate together and became very close emotionally, so Mario was following Jaejin’s advice quite well.

Thanks to this, I lost quite a bit of weight, and with the help of the club, I was working hard to attach muscles to the body at the same time, and the manager started to see Mario differently.

“Five. Korean Magician! Did you get a stamp for work today?”

“Aww, what a shameful Korean magician. That’s the nickname Mario gave, isn’t it?”

“Five! Can you guess it all at once? Did you come to dig up the problems of the players today with the mystery of the East?”

In Millwall, Jaejin’s nickname was the Korean Magician.

It was because he showed how to change Mario, who was not well-integrated into the team in a short period of time in the accident pack.

Of course, that was not the only reason the nickname spread to other players.

He also got acquainted with some of Mario’s close friends and gave them a little advice.

“Wallas. Is there any reason why you often turn to the right while breaking through?”

“I think Cooper’s cross is a real gem. Did you even learn to cross on your own?”

“Meredith, you seem to be having some discomfort in your left leg while defending. Isn’t it a pain somewhere?”

It was advice under the guise of a question or praise.

The players knew it, too, so there was no reason not to stay close to Jaejin as the players did not cross the line, but confirmed the unchecked habits.

“Hey, Magician Bro! The director is calling!”

“Yeah? me?”

Jae-jin was puzzled when he heard that Millwall’s director was calling him out of the blue, but knocked on the supervisor’s office.

“Come on in.”

“Good morning.”

“Five. Korean Magician!”

Millwall FC manager Alex Pierce greeted Jae-jin with a big smile, and as soon as Jae-jin sat down, he brought out the business.

“When do you think Mario will be ready to play? He wonders if you know better than the coach.”

“Well. If he’s just going to play, it should be within this week. But it’s going to take a lot longer than that when he’s tinkering with his playstyle and showing his good side.”

Jae-jin, who knows Millwall’s situation, understood the meaning of Alex’s words.

Now running the second half of the league.

The team was ranked 21st in the league, just one place above the relegation zone, and the points were also moderate.

In the case of Millwall, the main striker left due to an injury during Boxing Day, and there were many problems with player management as players suffered cup injuries across all positions.

In this situation, I thought it was intended to give Mario a chance to change through effort.

“Do you think you will be able to play against Brantford in March?”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“Well. As long as Mario follows along well, I think it might be possible.”

“If we think Mario is ready enough at this point, we can let him go.”

“I know what you mean.”

Then, Jae-jin asked a question, carefully looking at the tactical board on one side of the supervisor’s office.

“Is it a 4-2-3-1 formation?”

“Five. Do you have any tactics?”

“Can I see?”

With the director’s consent, Jae-jin took a closer look at the tactical board.

“Oh. The players are going to have a lot of trouble, right? When attacking, he forms a formation to increase his pass options, and in defense he presses the opponent tightly. I think I have to run that much, right?”

“Oh my god! right! What else do you think there will be?”

“The striker is an important tactic. The flank midfielders need to open up space and the striker needs to rock the defenders inside the box. This is the limit of my abilities. I don’t know the rest.”

“Oh my God, that’s right! The details are different though. Your tactics are not bad!”

‘If you tell me this, you must also prepare Mario for it.’

It’s a detailed movement. The coach will instruct him during tactical training, but when he sees Alex talking to him like this, he was Jaejin who thinks he has a lot of work to do.

Jae-jin, who came out of the supervisor’s office, went to see Mario, who was doing the finishing training.

“Bro! Did you have a good conversation with the director? It’s weird. The director is calling Bro, the agent.”

“Yeah. Talking was good. What is the deal that Mario called for?”

“What am I? You are working hard and you can see the change. such words Bro?”

“I am similar. And… .”

Jaejin thought about whether or not to talk about participating in a match that the coach had not called Mario and talked about before, and he hesitated in moderation.

“I was told that I was preparing thoroughly because I could go to the game whenever I was ready.”

“Five! Really? Can we finally go to the game?”

“no. Not immediately, but if the coach decides that he can play as hard as he is now.”

However, Mario shook his body bizarrely, as if he was dancing, as if he was in a good mood, as if he couldn’t hear Jaejin’s words.

“Five! The hard work is worth it!”

“It’s not rewarding. Now it’s the start. It has to be tougher.”

“Okay Bro! Now that I am so motivated, I think I can do anything.”

And while Mario was busy practicing with the thought that he could compete, the game was approaching.
