Chapter 521: Hiro's dilemma
Hiro's eyes sparkled with excitement as he went through the list of the clubs that had approached him. There were many big-name clubs. So, he couldn't help but feel his heart thumping upon seeing those names included in the list.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
A deep feeling of euphoria rose through his heart.
For some reason, upon going through the list, he felt an unusual sensation of fulfillment. It was almost like he had achieved a milestone.
Well, he had indeed achieved a milestone.
After all, it wasn't easy to capture the attention of such famous clubs.
"Am I dreaming?" Hiro said as he found his reality hard to believe. "If it is a dream then God please don't wake me up"
Disbelief clouded his vision as he found his reality difficult to believe. It wasn't just one or two offers that he had received. So, how could he bring himself to believe something so ridiculous?
For a brief moment, he even entertained the thoughts of Eric playing a prank on him. But he immediately discarded such a possibility after he failed to find any more texts from Eric.
If he had indeed played a trick on him, he would have disclosed it.
Without even stepping foot in Europe, he had already managed to attract the attention of such famous clubs. For sure, it wouldn't have been possible without Eric's connection.
He must have vouched for him to receive such offers.
As he thought about it, he couldn't help but feel grateful to Eric. He wasn't one of the top agents in Europe in his previous life for nothing.
From deep within his heart, he felt an urge to thank Eric.
So, he immediately sent a message thanking him for his efforts, "Eric, I'm flabbergasted to receive such offers. I'm sure it was all thanks to your effort. So, thank you, Eric. Also, please continue guiding me going forward"
Even though he expressed himself, he couldn't shake the feeling of gratitude and elation. Right now, he felt as if he was soaring in the clouds.
For a while, he couldn't calm his racing heart.
Then after a while, as he calmed himself, he couldn't help but reveal a complicated expression on his face. There were many great clubs interested in him. Although he was elated about it, he couldn't help but find it troublesome to choose.
He couldn't choose hastily.
But the complicated expression on his face was short-lived.
If it was any other person they might struggle to decide but it wasn't the case for him. After all, he had some knowledge of the future.
He couldn't declare himself well-versed in future knowledge.
But he still had enough information about the future to help him assist in making his decision.
So, as he thought about his advantage, he couldn't help but reveal a cheeky grin on his face, "Kekeke..., how can such a trivial matter bother a regressor like me?"
If any saw him right now, they'd probably assume that he had gone senile. Fortunately, others weren't around him at the moment.
Then again, his expression darkened as he realized something, "But... what if the future had changed again?"
Hiro couldn't rule out the possibility either. After all, he had already experienced such outcomes before. So who knows, if he'd experience it again?
With how unpredictable the future was, he couldn't feel proud about his uncertain advantage.
So, he couldn't help but frown upon realizing it.
Then again, he tried to cheer himself, "Even so, I can at least choose the correct club for me. One where I'd get plenty of playing minutes to develop"
As a young player, he'll need a lot of playing minutes to develop. So, he couldn't opt for the club solely based on their reputation.
Sure, a few exceptions started their career in big-name clubs and Hiro could do the same as well. But realistically speaking, he'll need some time to adapt.
For that, he'd require the support and trust of the manager. So, he had to be even more meticulous when selecting the club.
Hiro revealed a complacent look on his face as he said deeply, "I'll have to perform some research on my part before concluding."
After that, Hiro put aside the matter for now.
After all, he wasn't in any kind of rush to decide his future. He still had about a year to ponder about his decision. However, during that period, he had to improve himself to become a sellout star instantly.
Who knows he might even attract the attention of even bigger clubs if he performed well.
Speaking of which, he had two occasions to market himself on the international stage. One was on the Asia Cup if he made the team.
With his current performance, it'd take a miracle to stop him from making it to the team.
As for his other option, he could participate in the Club World Cup matches. But that'd put him under a lot of pressure.
Realistically speaking, he wouldn't be able to attend both tournaments.
After all, some of the matches of the competition overlapped with each other. So, Hiro had only one opportunity to market himself; Asia Cup 2025.
After dismissing the matter regarding his choice, he turned to look at the serene night sky outside the window.
The fact that he had attracted the interest of many famous clubs brought great delight to him. So, he couldn't help but reveal a joyous smile on his face.
"I wonder how Dad would react upon hearing the news?" he muttered albeit in a low whisper.
He couldn't help but want to inform him about the offers he had received immediately. Sadly, he couldn't right now.
But upon landing, he was determined to take a leave for a few days to visit his parent. Hiro had already made up his mind. So, even if he wasn't permitted to leave, he'd leave nonetheless, despite the consequences he might face.
As he thought about the reaction his father would make upon hearing the news, he couldn't help but entertain the thoughts about receiving a chance to play for the mightiest club in Europe; Real Madrid whom his father supported crazily.
A subtle giggle escaped his mouth as he thought about it, "Haha.., he'd probably go into a coma if he heard it."
