All Football Talents Are Mine Chapter 134

134. The walls of the world are too high (2)

[Example. The game has begun. Argentina players were on the left and Korean players were on the right. This must be a historic moment. It’s the 4th lecture.]

[That’s right. It is noticeable that both teams were fully prepared for today’s victory. Argentina came with a 4-2-3-1 with a strong midfield dominance. In particular, in the case of Korea, a lot of effort was put into forming the formation.]

The 4-3-3 that Korea used was very different from the typical 4-3-3.

Normally, the front-center striker is placed in the first line, and the other two attackers are wing forwards and play on both wings.

On the other hand, what coach Park Seong-ho had prepared was a formation that lowered the entire offensive line.

In other words, it is a customized tactic to engage all players in defense and then launch a counterattack.

Hoyoung was appointed as a front-line striker, but was actually placed in the 1.5-2 line.

In other words, although his position is a striker, his actual role is no different from that of an attacking midfielder who participates in both offense and defense.

In other words, it was a typical tactic of a one-man team.

That’s why Hoyoung’s feet were moving around busily from the start of the game.

responsibility.

There were too many places to cover.

‘Even if you throw away the left and right sides, you can’t easily give up the waist fight. ‘Let’s apply pressure from behind first.’

It was necessary to prevent the opponent’s double ball team (two defensive midfielders) from moving freely, thus hindering the distribution of the ball to the front.

But there were limits.

‘It’s too strong.’

Argentina’s double volanche was beyond imagination.

First, Fernando Gago, who is on the left.

With long hair and bright eyes, he was a face Hoyoung knew well.

He was a player that Real Madrid spent 35 billion won to sign last year, but now he has been pushed out of the competition for the starting role and has become the subject of transfer rumors.

I’ve exchanged greetings with him a few times at the Valdebebas training ground, but this was my first time meeting him.

‘Ball distribution is fast and accurate.’

Indeed, he has the skills of a talented player who won the South American Player of the Year award for two consecutive years in 2005/06.

Although he was only a rotation member at Real Madrid, he was a player who could easily become a starting player at another club.

‘He’s physically weak, so he’s weak at pressing, but he’s good at de-pressing. ‘It’s impossible to do alone.’

Lee Geun-oh and Lee Cheong-ryong were by Hoyoung’s side, but Gago also had a partner.

Mascherano is on the right side of Double Volanci.

He had a dark beard and was a defensive midfielder in charge of the third line of Liverpool, an EPL team.

As a player who had already reached a certain level of skill, his talent was also enormous.

[Javier Mascherano]

‘As expected…’

Mascherano.

He later came to be called ‘Magic Eraser’ in Korea, a nickname given to him because he was said to erase the existence of opposing players as soon as he took on the mark.

It was he who marked Hoyoung in today’s game.

‘But you don’t have T-level talent? Are you saying we’re not at that level yet?’

There was no time to think for long.

widely.

just now.

‘come.’

When Hoyoung received a pass for the first time in a while, Mascherano was right next to him before he could blink.

That’s how the ball competition began.

Hoyoung tried to defend the ball with his dribbling and footwork, but it was not easy to avoid Mascherano’s marking.

How much time has passed?

0.5 seconds?

“…!”

Hoyoung, who was ahead in agility, succeeded in pulling the ball back, but it did not end there.

In an instant, Mascherano stuck his shoulder in, extended his thigh, and succeeded in cutting Hoyoung’s ball.

Although he was small in stature, his physical fighting was very rough.

The cut ball was quickly picked up by Gago on the left.

‘shit.’

Losing the ball is something that happens no matter how great a player is.

Hoyoung had also been robbed countless times, so he had no intention of getting upset over something like this.

Because that’s soccer.

But this feeling was far from that.

‘You’re very good.’

Experience and skill, not a fluke.

His ball-keeping ability could not handle Mascherano’s man-marking ability.

As expected, the level of players flying on the world stage was definitely different.

Even better than Cameroon’s Alex Song.

No, his mark ability was 2nd and 3rd.

As expected, Alex Song was Arsenal’s ‘future’, but Mascherano is evaluated as Liverpool’s ‘present’.

It means being the mainstay of the first division.

In other words, it is safe to say that the player that Hoyoung is currently facing is one of the top three defensive midfielders in the current English First Division League (EPL).

Hoyoung was truly astonished by the tackling ability he had experienced for the first time in his life.

His tackling wasn’t just about moving his feet.

Induce a physical fight to distract the opponent’s concentration and cleverly use all methods within the range permitted by the referee to steal the ball.

That was Hoyoung’s impression after hanging out with Mascherano.

‘Oh my…’

I was desperate.

If you can’t break through him, you’ll be a scarecrow throughout the game.

Think about it like that for a while.

Hoyoung walked again.

I knew there was still a long way to go, so I couldn’t stop.

Rather than using it as a setback, I should have used it as a stepping stone to leap forward.

‘Piercing.’

First goal of the day.

Mascherano.

In any case, it is a mountain that we will have to face again and again if we are promoted to the first division.

In other words, this is a test stage.

Hoyoung stopped walking.

Mascherano also stood in his place.

When I turned my head that way, our eyes met for a moment.

Those who penetrate and those who try to block.

The real match was about to begin.

It was five minutes later, in the 15th minute of the first half, that the two faced off again.

[Gago catches the ball and passes it to Riquelme in front. Riquelme moves the ball slowly. Ki Sung-ryong needs to take note.]

[Argentina continues to follow this pattern?]

[That’s right. But the good news is that our Korean team’s offensive line defense is getting better. Starting with Woo Ho-young. However, there is too much activity so I am worried about the second half.]

[Ah, the moment you mentioned! Riquelme looks at Messi in front.]

“Stick right away! Don’t let me pass!”

Ki Dong-jin screamed, but it was in vain.

The creative offensive development centered on Riquelme was shaking up the Korean defense.

Ki Sung-ryong, who was in charge of marking Riquelme, tried hard, but ended up allowing Riquelme to play whatever he wanted.

It’s still the same now.

Percussion!

[As soon as Lionel Messi catches the ball, he tries to break through into the penalty box. Messi easily beats Kwon Chang-soo. This time Messi takes off Kim Min-soo. How far can Messi go? It must be stopped. Messi!]

Kwon Chang-soo and Kim Min-soo narrowed the gap and did not give up space, but such poor defense did not work on Messi.

Messi completely eliminated the two through simple dribbling even in a narrow space.

There was nothing like flashy personal skills.

With just one seemingly easy dribble, he was beating all the defenders.

The last defender, Kim Hwan-geun, tried to block it with a hand-to-hand defense, but Messi escaped his area with impressive agility.

In front of the door.

The angle was not good, but Messi kept going.

The finishing touch was a ground ball shot from the toes.

[Jeong Seong-yong! We must stop it! Jeong Seong-yong!!]

Big cherry!

The low shot to the right corner was accurate, but it hit the goal post by slightly hitting Jeong Sung-ryong’s fingertips.

Seongryong Jeong’s pupils suddenly opened.

‘Fuck…’

I swallowed a curse in my mind.

All I could say was that I was lucky.

[You blocked it well! Ki Dong-jin! We have to get rid of it quickly!]

Bwaaeng!

The ball kicked by Ki Dong-jin split the sky.

Arrival point is halfway line.

It was near where Hoyoung and Mascherano were competing for position.

However, Mascherano quietly gave up his seat to Hoyoung.

As he was short, he knew he wouldn’t win the contest anyway, so he didn’t bother participating in the aerial contest.

This is because if you jump into the competition for no reason and fail, you will be giving up a decisive chance to Hoyoung.

Instead, it occupies space around them, leaving room to transition to the next defensive position.

I stepped back slightly and searched for a pass blocking route in advance.

The idea was to immediately block the pass and launch a counterattack.

As expected, it looks like a first-class look.

“…!!”

however.

widely.

Hoyoung jumped into the air as if he had predicted this again and didn’t use his head.

Instead, he leaned his upper body back and caught it with his chest.

‘I won’t get hit twice.’

Hoyoung, who had already been defeated by Mascherano, this time took advantage of his psychology.

With excellent foresight and judgment.

Percussion!

Hoyoung caught the ball with his chest and hit it with his knee as soon as it hit the floor.

Immediately after, he kicked off the ground and jumped forward.

Chest trapping and knee strikes and running.

It went on smoothly with almost no delay.

Elastic muscles and body balance made it possible.

“no!”

Mascherano, who was looking for a pass blocking route, tried to catch up late, but could not keep up with Hoyoung’s speed.

‘Fucking damn damn!’

It broke through in a completely unexpected place.

Soccer prodigy.

After falling for his trick, Mascherano had no choice but to look at Hoyoung’s back with a numb expression.

We had to trust the center backs Garay and Nicolas Pareja who were left behind.

[Woo Ho-young! Mascherano takes advantage of the slight hesitation and runs forward! Good!]

It’s off the waist.

Now all you had to do was climb up the upper body and hit the enemy’s neck.

However, Argentina’s upper body is as strong as the waist.

It was a defensive line consisting of two central defenders.

Among them, the first person to block Hoyoung’s path was Ezequiel Garay, a central defender with dark skin.

Hoyoung’s eyes turned towards that direction.

I could see his lower body blocking the road with a lot of strength on his two thick thighs.

It looked like he would stick to his position and play man-to-man defense rather than tackle.

‘The main focus is slow.’

Garai’s main talent is only C level.

His talent list said it all.

Even if that wasn’t the case, I knew a little bit about him because he was already a well-known player in the Spanish first division.

He was a member of the Spanish first division team Racing Santander and was currently attracting attention from big clubs.

He was a player with a high probability of facing him if he were to advance to the first division this season.

Strong.

Hoyoung’s eyes narrowed.

Garai’s wide open legs came into view.

It was a coveted space just to look at, as if you could just pass the ball through it.

It seemed like they were opening their mouths like a flytrap about to eat.

Welcome.

In response, Hoyoung pretended to stumble and took a shooting stance.

At that moment, the sight of Garai twitching his legs caught my eye.

‘also.’

Obvious method.

After resisting temptation once, Hoyoung gave up his shooting stance and momentarily looked to the right.

Percussion!

[Woo Ho-young’s long dribble! We’re getting away from Garai! We’re almost there!]

Approximately 2 seconds.

Quite a bit of time has passed.

There should not be any further delay here.

Hoyoung ran.

The remaining defender at the front was Nicolas Pareja, a 24-year-old with excellent defensive skills.

And on the left, Park Joo-hyung was seen trying to break through into the empty space.

Garai, who caught up late, was marking him.

It was a time when a choice needed to be made.

Pass or breakthrough?

There was no need to think deeply.

Because Hoyoung believed in himself more.

Because my only thought was to win.

Without hesitation, I calculated the timing to attempt a breakthrough.

and.

Percussion!

I took a long dribble to the left and ran.

It was that moment.
