Today’s information

[2030-31 Bundesliga Round 25 Bayer 04 Leverkusen vs Fortuna Dusseldorf. 5 minutes in the second half, Lucas Claus makes his first pro stage debut.]

—

“I didn’t expect to see you again so soon in relation to Lucas.”

“That’s it.”

It was an ambiguous situation, but Rudy Feller’s face could not be straightened.

It was because it was a very good situation, even if it was a bad thing to meet.

“It’s only been a few months since I joined, but Lucas Kloss is getting a lot of praise.”

“Isn’t it because the players did well?”

Jaejin’s expression did not change at all at Rudy Feller’s praise, but inside he was full of pride.

“I think I will be promoted to the first team soon. Coach Marco Botts wants to use Lucas as a backup for Kevin Koch now.”

In Leverkusen’s defense, main defender Kerem Amiri was out for a long time, and his backup, Kevin Koch, was playing as the main defender.

‘But right now, the sum of the two central defenders is not that good.’

This happened because there are many similar types of players due to the nature of Marco Botts.

‘Lucas could have his debut stage sooner than expected.’

“Still, we cannot ignore the difference between the U-19 and the professional stage.”

Jaejin nodded at Rudy Feller’s words.

“I would like to see the timing of his professional contract after playing for about three games after his professional debut, what do you think?”

Jaejin laughed at Rudy Feller’s words. Rather, it was because it was what we wanted here.

He was definitely going to be a big player, but Rudy Feller made this suggestion because he was also concerned about the problem of adapting to the professional stage.

He agreed, of course, as he could sign a professional contract after playing three games on a better condition than if he didn’t play, even though it was only three games for him.

No, rather, Jaejin wanted to make a suggestion first, but I was just grateful that Leverkusen made this suggestion first.

“That would be fine. In my opinion, I think we will meet again soon with a professional contract.”

It was because Lucas’ talent that Jaejin saw was more than Rudy Feller thought.

“Lucas Claus!”

Ahead of U-19 training, Thiel gathered the players and called out Lucas’ name.

“Yeah?”

“You are no longer my business.”

“Yeah?”

At Til’s bombshell remark, Jaejin laughed because he knew what to say, and Lucas looked at Till in surprise.

From the look of Til’s twitching corner of his mouth, it was evident that the other players were holding back their laughter as if they were guessing the content.

And Thiel was silent for a while, saw Lucas’ bewildered expression, and then slowly opened his mouth.

“You have to play in a bigger game. It’s a game played by pros, not youth.”

Lucas wondered what this was, so his head didn’t turn properly for a moment.

“It’s a professional call-up.”

And as if Thiel’s permission had been granted, the players congratulated Lucas.

Because he was already expecting everyone.

It was because Lucas was undoubtedly the player who showed the best skills in the U-19.

“I hope I never see you again!”

“Fuck it up!”

“I’m waiting for you! I will follow you soon!”

It was kind of a surprise, but Lucas, who remembers being released once, felt the tension that had been raised by Thiel’s pranks melt away.

And he laughed out loud, calming his heart that was beating hard in embarrassment.

“Yeah! Thank you!”

Lucas’s heart pounded at the sound of a pro call-up.

“Maybe I will be able to play back and forth between the youth and the pros for a while. Don’t worry about playing professional games. It’s not the end, it’s the beginning.”

Till gave Lucas heartfelt advice, and Lucas nodded his head, knowing Til’s heart.

“Join professional practice right away!”

“Yeah!”

At Til’s cry, Lucas ran to Jaejin.

He’s come this far because he’s the one to be most grateful for.

“Thank you!”

Seeing Lucas greeting him, Jaejin smiled and patted the back.

“As Thiel said, this is just the beginning, so don’t worry. I will definitely go to see his professional debut match.”

“Yeah. Please come and see us. with Dad.”

“I’ll always talk to you if you need help, and I’ll stop by the training ground often.”

He was also Lucas’ agent, but now he had to be faithful to his role as a Leverkusen instructor, so Jaejin sent Lucas away and looked at the remaining players on the field.

“Do you guys need to step on the pro stage soon too?”

The morale of the players was soaring, probably because the player who played with him until yesterday received a professional call-up.

“You can go too!”

Because the professional call-up was made at the right time, the coaches were able to raise the tension of the players who were a little loose.

“The players are doing well.”

“Are you still a teenager? And that’s because I’m a former club player.”

Thiel believes that the players are following him because he is a former club legend and is doing well in the U-19 now.

“More than that, Agent Song is more surprising. When you teach the players, you see them die, right?”

“It’s fucking dead. Aren’t I just an outside coach?”

As Thiel said, the players who had an effect on the teaching began to follow Jaejin tremendously.

If I added an exaggeration, it was a level of trust that I would trust and follow no matter what I did.

“I think I still have a lot to learn. The charisma like the agent, and the breathing with the players.”

“Just speaking my position as an agent, I would like to think of the players as understanding and working together.”

Thiel tried to capture Jaejin’s every move.

It was because Jaejin was in the direction he was thinking of in his position as a director.

“By the way, the defense part is going to be uneasy because Lucas is missing.”

Thiel mumbled sadly about the loss of Lucas, who had a huge impact on the game.

“You can’t always play with the best team. But the old players will do well.”

He felt like the person speaking had changed, but Thiel was deliberately guiding the conversation.

“If you were an agent, how would you overcome it?”

“What do you think, Thiel?”

Jaejin, who knew what Thiel meant to say, questioned Thiel.

“We have to go back to the squad before Lucas comes. Also, the detailed tactics that Lucas has become accustomed to must be revised.”

Hearing Thiel’s answer, Jaejin nodded his head and added one thing.

“There were a lot of good players in the U-17. Don’t be afraid to write a new player if you believe in your own eyes. By the way, the manager I admire the most is Alex Ferguson.”

In the case of Sir Alex Ferguson, Jae-jin thinks he is a manager who shows how to win soccer by showing flexible player management and tactics even in bad situations.

When the defender suffered a string injury, he showed a way to win soccer in unexpected situations, such as midfielder Michael Carrick as center back and winger Valencia as full back.

“Ah. i See. Then that was it. You are great too.”

Till nodded his head at the word director Alex Ferguson brought up by Jaejin, and was deep in thought.

“Awesome, what.”

Jaejin smiled brightly at Til’s expression as if he had realized something and nodded his head.

—

Ahead of the 25th round of the league against Dusseldorf, Marco Botz was struggling with the lineup due to a line injury in the defense.

“damn. I’m just annoyed.”

“Whoa. How about Lucas Claus?”

At the coach’s question about alternatives, Marco Botz shut his mouth and patted the desk.

It was the beginning of March and when the Bundesliga was almost over, Leverkusen’s standings were still in the lower middle.

“damn.”

And coach Marco Botts knew better than anyone that his life was in jeopardy.

To be precise, the club had already received an ultimatum.

“Lucas Kloss is the best among our resources right now.”

“I know.”

“Then there is no need to worry.”

I knew Lucas Kloss was a good player in the U-19, and he was right when he called up.

However, Marco Botts thought that the risk was too great to use Lucas in the current situation.

“Huh, I don’t know if it’s right to use youth in the current situation.”

“Even so, if we don’t keep the defense now, we don’t have the right central defender resources except for Lucas.”

After the manager remained silent, the coach spoke once again, but Marco Botz’s decision was not easily made.

Kevin Koch’s skills weren’t as good as coach Marco Botts thought, and he didn’t work well with other defenders.

However, he felt like he was going crazy because he couldn’t turn a player looking at a full-back into a centre-back.

“But you can’t suddenly change the formation to 300 right now, can you?”

‘Anyway, this season is the last.’

The only difference was whether he was fired during the season or terminated by mutual agreement after the season was over.

“Düsseldorf.”

“Even if it’s the Reiniche’s Derby, it can’t be helped.”

The Reinices Derby was a derby match between Cologne, Monchengladbach, Leverkusen and Düsseldorf, based around the Rhine River.

Derby was a derby, even if it felt a little weak compared to many other notorious derbys.

“damn. I’m still anxious Against Düsseldorf, the defense will be the same and Lucas will go as a substitute.”

However, Marco Botz could not trust the youth, who also had no professional experience, so he maintained the existing defense and placed Lucas on the substitute list.

[Today’s match will be very important for both teams.][Leverkusen as a stepping stone for a leap to the middle rank. Because Düsseldorf is only two points away from the relegation standings.][Especially, Leverkusen’s unstable defense keeps the mid-level jump from being caught.]

Before the match, Lucas warmed up and took in the view of the Bay Arena full of fans.

“Kid, are you nervous?”

When Lucas first joined Leverkusen the mood was not so good.

The players’ dissatisfaction with the continuous defeat and the unstable defensive line was at its peak.

It was because I thought about what could be changed with just one youth defender.

“A little?”

It was more of an embarrassment than a nervousness.

Since I couldn’t start the game right after I became a professional call-up, I watched the game from the bench a lot.

But before today’s match against Düsseldorf, Lucas remembered what Jaejin said.

‘I’m always ready to go to the game anytime. Especially against Düsseldorf.’

Then he handed over the reports of the Dusseldorf players.

‘It’s a report from the players of Düsseldorf. Be sure to read it and memorize especially the attacking and midfield players reporting. It will definitely help.’

It was as if he was sure he could make it before Düsseldorf.

[If there is one thing that stands out for Leverkusen’s appearance today, it is Lucas Kloss from the U-19.][Recently listed as a substitute due to a line injury in the defense.][He is a player who made a name for himself in U-19. In the youth team, the defensive ability is evaluated as great.][I understand that a youth player was placed on the substitute list because there were no substitute resources, but the gap between pros and youth is huge.][Fans seem to be uneasy.]

If he had been a young player with the skills to debut on the professional stage, he would have stepped on the professional stage earlier or received attention.

However, the reaction of the commentary was not very positive, as Lucas came to Leverkusen relatively recently and made a name for himself, and he did not show anything.

“Can we come to the game today?”

“I do not know. Anyway, he was on the substitute roster, so I don’t know.”

In the audience, Jaejin and Irwin Close were watching the match.

It’s good that his son has finally been called up pro, but Irwin predicted that his debut would take some time given the current bad team situation.

But suddenly, Jaejin said that he wanted to go to today’s match, and he came to the stadium with a thought in mind.

“Anyway, it also means looking at the team where Lucas will play in the future.”

Jaejin’s expression looked bright and light as he spoke, so Irwin literally watched the match as Jaejin said.

[The match starts with the referee’s whistle!]
