My Dad Was a Genius Episode 072

“Is this… a dream?”

The Wolves board could not believe what was unfolding before them.

Wolves’ winning streak stands at 10 wins.

That was also recorded in the 4th division a long time ago.

However, they achieved 11 consecutive wins in the second division.

“That’s ridiculous. I’ve seen our team lose 11 games in a row, but 11 wins in a row! Yeah. This has to be a dream. A dream. Hahahaha!”

But it wasn’t a dream.

Wolves have indeed moved into the top ten with 11 straight wins.

18 wins, 15 losses, 4 draws.

The number of wins, which was only 7, increased to a whopping 18.

“Of course, even with 11 consecutive wins, it’s still not easy to get into the top 6… … .”

“We haven’t been able to accumulate enough points so far. It’s not easy because we lost 15 games early on.”

“Oh my. If Coach Cha Sung hadn’t taken over the team, we would have really relegated to the third division… … Ahem ahem.”

The board members were talking when they saw Director Richard walk by and they quickly shut their mouths. But he was a very sharp-tongued man for his age.

“It’s okay. It’s true that Wolves almost went to the third division because I was a bad manager. Hehe.”

“Oh, no. The manager recognizes Coach Cha’s abilities and supports him from behind so that he can lead the team.”

“That’s right. If the manager hadn’t made that huge decision, we wouldn’t have this winning streak.”

But board members are the ones who learned the laws of survival early on.

They knew incredibly well who to flatter and how to survive.

“Haha. There’s no need to give it that much credit. Even if it weren’t for me, Cha Seong, that guy would have somehow changed this team.”

“Yes. He is a really great person. Thanks to him, the tickets to the games that used to be in abundance are now sold out.”

“And that’s not all? Sales of Wolves merchandise, including jerseys, are up 700%. 700%!”

The board is full of smiles these days.

Has there ever been a time in the history of a club that has received so much attention from people?

What’s surprising is that Wolves are generating more fans and revenue than when they were in the top flight.

“The games are so fun that even people who only watch the EPL now watch our games separately.”

“Cha Sung is popular because the coach uses very aggressive and fiery tactics.”

“First of all, the game is fun to watch.”

“Plus, since they win every time, it’s exciting for the viewers too.”

But there was a problem.

“But, Director. There is a lot of talk about the interview that was recently published as an article. First of all, our Wolves board of directors has put out a correction article. What the Director meant was not that, but that he actively listened to the coaches’ advice as much as possible and accepted it.”

It was good to have 11 consecutive wins.

The problem is that after the 11-game winning streak, coach Richard made a bombshell statement in an interview.

Director Richard answered the reporter’s question with intent as it was.

The media and the community were abuzz with talk about this because Cha Seong-eun gave an interview that implied that he was leading the team on his behalf.

The Wolves board quickly took action and thankfully the situation was brought to a close.

Because they couldn’t believe that one coach could control the team in place of the manager.

But there are still many who view Wolves with suspicion.

This was because word continued to leak out internally.

“Let’s not sweat such a trivial matter.”

“yes?”

“It’s something that will be revealed soon anyway. Hiding it now won’t make a difference. Besides, what’s wrong with the coach leading the team in my stead, legally? He’s not even officially in the manager’s seat?”

“That’s not it, but… … .”

“In the end, what matters is the result. If we keep winning and winning, people won’t really care about it. And even if they do, it won’t have any negative effects on us. And if Coach Cha Seong-eun becomes the manager of our Wolves in the future, won’t everything be resolved?”

“Yes? Coach Cha Seong is going to be our Wolves’ manager?”

This is something I’ve never heard of.

An Asian coach becomes a manager? And in the English league?

“But there has never been an Asian manager in the EFL or EPL. Moreover, would UEFA readily give a P-class license to an Asian coach? He is not even a European player. It is impossible.”

“Impossible means that no one has ever done it, it doesn’t mean that it can never be done. I have no doubt that our coach will be the new manager of Wolves, who have been promoted to the first division.”

“… … .”

They had nothing to say.

When Wolves manager Richard speaks with such conviction, no one can fault him.

Especially when you know he’s practically the king of these Wolves.

“So, let’s trust them. Isn’t the reason we gathered here today to celebrate the new record set by our Wolves? If not us, then who else would trust and support Coach Cha Seong?”

“Haha. That’s right.”

“We have to give them some strength. With this momentum, they can advance to the first division.”

It was later that Cha Seong-eun was appointed as director.

Wolves haven’t even been promoted to the first division yet.

That’s something you can think about later.

Today we simply celebrate this joyous day.

“Run a little faster! And if you receive the ball cleanly, you can deal with the defenders running at you. You have to train yourself to be able to receive the ball no matter what I throw at you.”

Ramsey was busy training again today.

I heard the board was celebrating their 11th consecutive win and going crazy, but he didn’t really care.

Because it was only now slowly coming into view.

The world of the 1st division.

“Hey, Coach. Can’t you just rest for a bit?”

“How long has it been since you started training! The summit is just around the corner. Do you want to stay here in the second division? You want to go to the first division too. Don’t you?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Then run quickly!”

If there was a devil in this training grounds, it was Ramsey.

If there was a player who was playing tricks, he would never let it go.

The idea was to give them additional training so they would never cheat again.

At first, the players were also dissatisfied with Ramsey’s intense training.

But now no one questions the training Ramsey is conducting.

As a result of him teaching and training them how to draw a pass map, the Wolves players perfectly understood Cha Seong-eun’s tactics.

And the result was 11 consecutive wins.

It was a miracle that would have been unimaginable just a few months ago.

So, no matter how much Ramsay scolded them and trained them harshly, they gritted their teeth and endured.

Because I felt that the current training would soon lead to victory.

“Everyone, take a 10-minute break.”

“Ugh.”

“Finally.”

But the training was still rigorous.

Ramsey sat on the bench, wiping away the sweat from his face, and Cha Sung sat down next to him as he looked at something.

“What are you looking at?”

“Hmm. Bundesliga.”

“Bundesliga? Oh. Maybe that player from Dortmund?”

“huh.”

Ramsay has three people he respects most in the world.

The two are his parents who gave birth to him and raised him, and the last one is Cha Seong-eun.

He’s a guy who occasionally says crazy things, but he’s an amazing guy who makes them come true.

I’ve never seen anything this unrealistic in my entire life.

Especially when it comes to soccer, he has already mastered everything.

“I saw it too. You said Kang Dae-ho, right? You said you were with him from Cheonan. He’s the most notable striker in the Bundesliga these days.”

“That’s right. You joined mid-season and already scored 20 goals.”

He is a formidable player.

The presence of Lewandowski, who was called the best striker in the Bundesliga, was completely erased.

That oriental player.

“You’re particularly interested in that player? Is it because he’s your former child?”

“Similar. But the situations are opposite.”

“what?”

“Nothing. So, how’s the training? Isn’t it hard?”

“Of course it’s hard.”

I feel like my lower back is aching these days, so I’m wearing a patch.

“thank you.”

“huh?”

“To be honest, without you, Wolves would not have won 11 games in a row.”

“Speaking the truth.”

“It’s true. If you hadn’t trained the players on pass maps, they wouldn’t have been able to develop their tactical understanding so quickly, and they wouldn’t have been able to make directional passes.”

This is exactly why I hold on.

Ramsey’s passion to get Wolves back into the top flight was there, but the occasional compliment from Cha Sung-eun made him feel like his whole day was over.

What is this guy?

He’s not only tactically brilliant, but he’s also really good at roasting people.

Even just looking at the players here, you can see that.

Even people with personality problems would die at the sound of a single word from Cha Seong-eun.

Even Ramsey, who had openly ignored Cha Seong-eun because he was Asian, is now best friends with him.

“Of course, my tactics are also incredibly excellent.”

“Yeah. I was wondering why that didn’t come out.”

Ramsay sipped his drink and looked toward headquarters, where the party was probably going on hard by now.

“Why didn’t you come to the party? Aren’t you the main character?”

“Rather than being the main character, I’m still an uncomfortable presence. And right now is a very important time. I don’t have time to be distracted by anything else.”

He looked at Cha Seong-eun for a moment.

These days, training methods and details have changed.

At first I thought it was just a matter of changing the training sessions.

But it wasn’t just the sessions that were changing, their very nature was changing.

I felt it there.

That Cha Seong is preparing something.

“It definitely seems like they’re preparing something, but I don’t know what it is.”

“You’re quick-witted. No, isn’t it? Is it strange that you didn’t notice?”

“What is it? What are you preparing? Are you suddenly changing your tactics? Your results are good right now.”

At those words, Cha Seong-eun shook his head.

“EFL teams aren’t stupid. They won’t be able to keep up with our same tactics. Even though this is the second division, it’s a much higher level than other leagues. They’ll all gradually adapt and come up with their own strategies.”

but.

It was also a great feat to achieve 11 consecutive wins with the same tactics.

Isn’t it incredibly foolish to stick to the same tactics, especially in high-level leagues?

However, the reason it has worked so far is because Cha Seong-eun’s tactics were so shocking.

“What kind of tactic is it?”

“That’s… … We’ll find out next time. We’ll probably need a new pass map. We’ll have to operate it differently than before.”

“Does that sound like I’m going to have to roll around a lot again?”

“that’s right.”

Ramsay sighed and groaned.

“Hey. If you ever become a director, you really have to do this.”

“what?”

“Give me a huge raise.”

Cha Seong-eun chuckled and patted his shoulder.

Although he pretended to be very tired on the outside, Ramsay was actually very excited.

I wonder what kind of tactics Cha Seong-eun will bring this time.

And what kind of pass map will he use to fool his opponents?

And what kind of training will they put the players and coaches through?

“… … .”

It was Ramsey who suddenly started to feel dizzy.
