Solo All-Around Agent

Chapter 53

Today’s information

[The compatibility between Park Il-joo and Alex is 92%.]

—

After all training was over, the thoughts of David did not leave Jaejin’s head, who was left alone.

‘What kind of choice will David make?’

David had two choices.

Whether he returns to the Lion’s Gate or he makes a deal with himself.

However, Jaejin clearly thought that there was a high possibility that he would sign a contract with him.

[Request for data on David Tennant.]

After requesting data on David from WSG, Jaejin also searched for data separately.

[Pressure outside the game affects the game.]

What came out of the report was that pressure from outside the game had an impact on the game.

‘It means you’re less affected by the pressure in the game. If you just look at your appearance, is the pressure from the outside part of the fans’ gaze or malicious comments?’

I didn’t really express it, but the image of David I went through today came as quite a shock to me as Jaejin.

It was because it was really surprising that he reacted so sensitively to the reactions of the fans.

‘I’ve been playing in the Premier League for 20 years and it doesn’t make sense that my mentality is so weak, right? There must be a reason. He seemed to be particularly shaken by the criticism from his fans. Why?’

Jaejin looked up David’s past videos one by one.

On the pitch, he sprinted towards players taller than him, and even in the so-called big games, he ran towards his opponents without hesitation.

The highlight was the Champions League quarter-final second leg match against Real Madrid.

In the first leg, they had already lost 1-0 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, their home stadium, so they had to win unconditionally to advance to the quarterfinals.

David Tennant’s performance against Real Madrid under such circumstances shows why fans love him.

‘Yes, this is the David Tennant I know. If I had a weak mentality, would I have been able to show this side of myself?’

Jaejin searched David’s game video and related news until the sun rose to find a clue.

‘There must be a reason for the change.’

—

[It’s all a failure. Everyone is passive because it is the last stage of recruitment.]

Millwall’s signing of a defensive midfielder has been quite daunting.

For reasons you don’t want to leave your existing team. already signed a new contract. Or because you have already transferred to another team.

It was getting harder and harder to get the right players for Millwall for a variety of reasons.

‘uh?’

And this anomalous difficulty made Jaejin absurd.

But it wasn’t the only sudden thing. Jaejin was taken aback by the news that appeared on the hologram.

[Lion Gate agency signed a contract with Thiago Neia, who moved to Sheffield United.]

‘Ha. Look at this?’

He thought that he must have been a knight sniping him.

‘I heard that the transfer of Thiago Neia suddenly went wrong, so there was a problem here.’

And he thought it was a kind of warning.

What I want to say while shaking David and interrupting Jaejin’s work.

‘maybe. don’t jump Or don’t interfere. What an obvious thing to say.’

Jaejin looked at the face of Joe Isaacs, who was smiling brightly while shaking hands with Thiago Neia in the photo.

‘Hmm. It’s fun.’

The Lion Gate was a kind of vested interest.

In WSG, it was just a small and medium-sized agency, and in the UK, it was a position that no one could have.

There, Jaejin is an Asian agent who is just emerging.

In the European football market, Jaejin was a very heterogeneous entity.

“Are you a defensive midfielder first?”

In a situation where David has not yet responded, the first thing to deal with is the end of the camp, which is only a week away.

It was looking for a defensive midfielder for Millwall.

“Ah. There aren’t too many decent players. Where does one player drop and not fall off?”

Suddenly, I turned my head to see Park Il-ju running with Lee Jin-young on the playground.

“uh?”

Immediately, he habitually turned on the most recent scouting report of Park Il-ju.

[Park Il-joo][Position: DM][Appropriate position DM][report :

There are strengths in build-up.

wide field of view

activity is plentiful

Excellent defense.

great fighting spirit

He lacks detail in his passes, but he has strengths in forward passes and long passes.

It has not bad attack power.]

“Eureka!”

Jaejin found a clue in an unexpected place and shouted Eureka.

Then I approached Park Il-joo, who was resting for a while.

“One week!”

“Yeah?”

“How about Millwall?”

It was an endless question, but Park Il-joo tilted his head and shrugged.

“Millwall? It’s a pretty attractive team. It seems that they recently asked for a fairly large sponsor. In particular, did the director look good?”

“No, not like that. How do you feel about running?”

At Jae-jin’s answer, Park Il-joo opened her eyes and showed a bewildered look.

“I don’t care. Millwall is now in the second division and Mario is on it, right?”

“Yeah, it’s also a team that aims to be promoted to the first division within two years.”

Park Il-joo was worried about Jae-jin’s words.

It was because they had a clear goal of being the first division.

“Of course, the choice is yours. But one thing is certain: if you go to Millwall, you have the advantage of being able to adjust to English football. There, under good supervision.”

At Jae-jin’s words, Park Il-joo nodded his head and looked at Jae-jin.

“And Alex of Millwall. He’s a better manager than I thought. It’s a shame he’s in the second division. If you are under such a manager, it will definitely help your career, even for a short period of time.”

“Well. If the agent says so, I will think positively. Instead, my goal is to play in the Premier League. 3 years, no matter how long. I have no intention of running any further.”

Jaejin nodded at Park Il-joo’s answer.

“Of course. I have no intention of keeping you in the second division.”

Jaejin was thinking of putting some safeguards in place if he ever signed a contract with Millwall.

“okay. So, let’s think about Millwall first and talk to Alex.”

Just because Millwall and Il-joo Park did ok did not mean that he could play for Millwall.

‘Even if you sign a contract, you have to worry about work permits. Either way, it will be mutually beneficial to train with Millwall as soon as possible.’

After the shocking Brexit, after discussions with the FA and EPL, the conditions for issuing work permits were partially relaxed.

However, the issuance of work permits in the UK was still a tricky and difficult part for Asian players.

‘I have to go as fast as possible. Because time is running out.’

Jaejin immediately sent the video and report of Park Il-ju to Alex.

If it was Alex that Jae-jin knew, he was sure that he would recognize the value of Park Il-joo.

[There is no transfer fee, he is young, and he seems to have found one defensive midfielder who can build up. Would you like to check it out?]

And, as Jaejin expected, not long after sending the e-mail, Alex got a phone call.

[Where did you find this player? Well… . You’ll have to see it for yourself, but I don’t think it’s bad?

‘Also.’

Director Alex poured out his words without hesitation.

[Come to Millwall first! Tell me what kind of player you are!]

“I will go right away.”

Jaejin immediately took his documents and headed to Millwall’s director’s office.

—

“Oh oh! Here you go!”

When I entered the supervisor’s office, there was not only Alex but also other people I had never seen before.

“This is the scout team leader. Haynes. This is Song Jae-jin’s agent.”

“Five. To meet the protagonist of that ruthless scouting report!”

Jaejin smiled and nodded his head at the word ruthless reporting.

“Was it a little ruthless?”

“He was merciless to the players and to us. The coach has raised the bar and stir-fried the scout team.”

Haines giggled and burst out laughing.

“Let’s stop talking nonsense and talk about player Park Il-ju.”

“First of all, my position is a defensive midfielder. He’s very active and he’s got pretty good defense.”

“You saw it right. In addition, he has a history of working as a striker in Korea, so he might be able to show a shot sometimes.”

In response to Jae-jin’s answer, Alex nodded his head, and at the same time thought of Millwall, where Park Il-joo would join.

“Not bad. Is there anything else I should know?”

“All the materials we sent you. from Korea. He turned down a pro nomination after graduating from high school. I’m looking for a team to come to Europe to play. There is no problem with language communication. I can communicate well with Mario and David at camp.”

“Did I say your player?”

“Yes. He is the player who signed me.”

Alex nodded his head. Before Jaejin came, I had already had a positive conversation with the head coach and the scout team leader.

He did not have a transfer fee, and the skills he showed in the video were from the thought that he could show a good appearance in the first team as long as he could adapt to English football.

In addition to that, the most important thing is that the players who are right now have a positive element that seems to be able to fulfill the role Alex thinks to some extent.

But when he said that he was the player Jaejin had, he raised his head with a little doubt.

“I’d like to take some tests first.”

“It is natural. Anyway, it’s time for the squad to gather soon, so I don’t think it’s bad to verify it through our own blue-and-white battle in addition to the medical test.

“It can be done that way. The problem must be the work permit.”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“Your work permit is the problem. First of all, I think everything has to happen at the same time. Both the team and the players want to join quickly.”

Even if the work permit in the UK was relaxed due to the decline in broadcasting rights after Brexit and the difficulty of influencing European stars, it was still a high wall for Asian players who had not shown anything.

In particular, since he was not a member of an official professional team, he had to make the most of the provision of the special panel, but even that was not an easy task.

“The best thing is a letter of recommendation.”

“I think I can handle the Korean Football Association confirmation letter and coach recommendation letter from the Korean side.”

“I will ask the club for a recommendation letter from the British side. First of all, I have to pass the medical test and the practical test.”

“That is natural. If there is a schedule, we will prepare accordingly.”

“First, the medical test is two days later. And what about when the athlete training is scheduled for three days later?”

“Okay. I will prepare accordingly.”

After the first verbal contract, Jaejin immediately contacted Seo Eunsang of World Tree.

“How are you, Director?”

[Hey! Manager Song. No Song Agent! How are you?]

“I’m working hard.”

[What hard work. David Tennant in Mario Baruwa! He said he went there for a week.]

Jaejin brought up the story of Park Il-joo at the lively voice of Director Seo Eun-sang, whom he had not heard in a long time.

“I plan to transfer Ilju to Millwall in the second division.”

[Part 2? Are you okay?]

“Yeah. One week was also positive, and at the same time, in case we are not promoted to the first division, we can set conditions so that we can easily get out of the team.”

[What if that was the case? If so, is it because of the work permit?]

“Yes, I need a confirmation letter from the Korea Football Association and a letter of recommendation from the coach, is it possible?”

[Of course. It’s a pity that a week has passed, but what? It is also not that the ties are completely broken.]

As Jae-jin and Park Il-joo signed a contract, World Tree was able to receive investment from President Park Jae-heon.

Therefore, even though Park Il-joo left World Tree due to mutual termination, they maintained a good relationship.

“Please.”

[Okay. I’ll try to deal with it as soon as possible.]

After ending the call with Director Seo Eun-sang, Jae-jin immediately called Park Il-joo.

“Are you training hard?”

[Yeah. I’m working hard. Camp is almost over, isn’t it?]

“A medical test in Millwall two days later. And three days later, a real test.”

[Five. that’s good It’s finally time to show my skills.]

Park Il-ju, who was nervous on the stage of European football while playing with Mario and David while going through the camp, had risen quite a bit.

“Anyway. Who is the player?”
