All Football Talents Are Mine Chapter 136

136. Telephone upset (2)

[With Korea down to three backs, the fullbacks move to midfield. Are you thinking of breaking away from Riquelme’s dominance of the game?]

[Yes. In the end, Coach Park Seong-ho took the gamble. We strengthened the midfield with Woo Ho-young at the forefront. At the same time, the defense focused on the box. The intention is to use the body to defend and distribute the ball using the numerical superiority of the midfield instead of passing.]

[It’s a bit reminiscent of Eusebio’s Portugal. Director Park Seong-ho’s intention to trust Woo Ho-young is visible. However, Riquelme will not just sit by and watch.]

[That is why it can be said that what is important is Woo Ho-young’s performance.]

It is a game-winner and a head-to-head match.

Korea wasted too much stamina in the quarterfinals.

As time went by, they were at a disadvantage.

If we could turn the tide, now was our last chance.

The situation is already up to 2-0.

Even if we allowed more goals, we had to lay the foundation for a comeback.

First of all, it is urgent to escape from the swamp created by Riquelme.

Hoyoung stopped walking and opened his eyes.

I spread my gaze wide.

You have to try to see it to see it.

Wait a minute.

I could see the ever-changing appearance of Argentina.

The Argentine coach left out right back Zabaleta and played center back Fazio.

‘Narrow the space and lower the three lines. It’s a customized tactic to prepare for one storm. The pass is long and there is a lot of space on the side.’

Now I have to think.

Only then can we know and change the flow.

If the opponent comes up with a countermeasure, all you have to do is turn it around once more with creative thinking.

It wasn’t easy, but because of him, I was able to give it a try.

Woo Ho-young, who monopolized the talents of countless geniuses.

From there the wind started to blow.

Argentina was making every effort to prevent Woo Ho-young’s one-man show.

Coach Batista instructed to minimize space in preparation for Hoyoung’s speed, and the players were moving according to those instructions.

That’s Argentina’s way of treating one-man teams.

Riquelme was coordinating it all.

It was from that moment on.

A breathtaking secret struggle began to unfold.

Percussion!

[For the first time in a while, Woo Ho-young catches the ball! There was one dangerous moment, but in the end our players crossed the halfway line!]

The possession rate had already dropped to 32%.

For Korea, just crossing the halfway line was a thrill.

There is only one chance.

If you don’t succeed, there is no possibility of a comeback.

The winds began to gather together.

Lee Geun-oh, Lee Cheong-ryong, Ki Sung-ryong, Park Joo-hyung.

The four of them circled around Woo Ho-young and went looking for a seat.

At times, he found threatening spaces and lured opposing defenders.

Even the fullbacks pulled the line up, opening up various attack routes.

All attack.

but.

‘Is this your last attack, kid?’

Everything was on Riquelme’s radar.

The intention was good, but unfortunately the Argentine players were not so gentle.

They responded appropriately to the changes that occurred at every moment and avoided the traps set by Korean players as if they were funny.

Riquelme’s eyes narrowed.

‘If we put pressure on him in the 3rd line and take it away, this momentum will soon be lost.’

It seemed that Woo Ho-young’s skills were limited to this point.

‘I’m not yet skilled enough to elevate the team.’

A harsh assessment.

Riquelme, who had been slightly expecting something from Hoyoung, swallowed his regret.

however.

Thump thump percussion.

“… hmm?”

Woo Ho-young’s passing and dribbling began to speed up, and the tempo of the game began to accelerate.

After Korea strengthened the midfield, Hoyoung caught the ball a few times, and his sense of the ball gradually improved and his movements were improving.

The location is Line 2.

Hoyoung was slowly dribbling to the front.

This was no ordinary wind.

Like a typhoon, it suddenly grew in size and was threatening Argentina’s defense.

At the center was Woo Ho-young.

Like the eye of an infinitely calm typhoon, he was quietly faithful to his role and building up.

“What are you doing! “Fill up the space!”

As soon as Riquelme’s shout fell, Mascherano fought Hoyoung with a rough fight.

‘are you okay.’

Woo Ho-young shakes off his fear.

I faced Mascherano with the determination to die here today.

As if his marking had already been expected, he dribbled half a beat faster and left his defensive zone.

However, at that time, Mascherano’s rough struggle caused him to slightly lose his balance.

Pow!

Although he was shaken, Hoyoung’s body was not at a level where he could be beaten that easily.

Instead of backing down, he faced the struggle again, and when he almost fell, he put his hands on his hands, stood up again, dribbled, and ran.

Percussion!

It was a feat that was hard to believe even after seeing it.

[Woo Ho-young! Beat one person! You have to be careful of Fernando Gago coming in from the side!]

Next, Gago came in, but it was no use.

Because Hoyoung’s body has already made half a turn.

“Ugh!”

Hoyoung, who overtook Gago with the Marseille turn, dribbled straight away with minimal delay.

Taaagh!

[Woo Ho-young! After the Marseille turn, hit and run immediately!]

[Woo Ho-young, Woo Ho-young! I’m leaving! Woo Hoyoung! How far will it go?]

A crucible of frenzy.

The audience, who were cheering, slowly got up on their feet and started going wild.

All eyes were focused on Woo Ho-young, a young boy who was showing off his amazing play.

At that moment, Riquelme’s shout filled the field.

“Pull and block!”

Garay immediately blocks Woo Ho-young’s path.

The center of gravity was lowered and an intelligent defense was launched.

Just like before, I thought I would just buy time.

However, Hoyoung, who had already experienced this, learned well.

I understood deep in my bones that if I wasted even 0.1 second, the opportunity would be lost.

so that.

Without delay, he moved his feet briefly and made a momentary movement, as if he wasn’t going to give him that time.

Change direction with monstrous agility.

I rarely used this technique because it puts a lot of strain on my knees, but today I was planning to take out everything, including the liver and gallbladder.

[Woo Ho-young! A dribble breakthrough that turns Garai into a scarecrow! Garai’s body twitches!]

That moment.

Tap, tap, tap.

Hoyoung’s feet moved in the direction of 之 (之) and in the blink of an eye, he was completely out of Garai’s area.

Garai, who had goosebumps all over his body, could only stare blankly at Hoyoung’s back.

Truly overwhelming.

It didn’t end there.

Woo Ho-young put his strength on his knees and kicked the ground hard, bouncing back like a spring water.

It was a dynamic movement that made you dizzy just by looking at it.

Hit and run.

Percussion!

I didn’t lose focus until the end.

I paid attention to ball control and kept the ball speed intact.

All of this happened in just 3 seconds.

Argentina’s defense, which was like an impregnable castle, tried hard to stop it, but even if the head could keep up, the body could not.

In the end, Hoyoung was allowed to enter the box – and

for a moment, a heavy tension as if my breath had stopped came over the ground.

A thunderous voice burst from the commentary booth, breaking the silence.

[Are you hitting me!!!]

[But Fazio is right next to me…!]

Before the commentators could even finish speaking, right fullback Fazio rushed in.

Because he was 195 centimeters tall, his body was quite slow, but he was able to quickly block the right shooting angle.

Woo Ho-young was known to be right-footed, so this was enough to put him at ease.

However, it was Hoyoung’s left leg that actually moved.

Since he had acquired the talent of playing with both feet from Pedro a few months ago, he was now quite accurate with his left foot as well.

And it was powerful.

Cough!

[Woo Ho-young, in front of the gate!]

A surprise shot.

Goalkeeper Romero was a beat late in reacting because his vision was slightly blocked by the huge Fazio.

Moreover, Hoyoung’s shooting was a beat faster and his goal-making ability was truly top-notch.

It was impossible for the net to not shake in this perfect situation.

Crash!

[Gooooool! Woo Hoyoung! Woo Hoyoung does it!! Woo Ho-young’s wonder goal! It’s a goal!!]

There was chaos.

The hands of not only the general audience but also scouts from various clubs who were watching the game with their hats pressed down were busy.

In the first half, I had goosebumps all day long because of Messi’s genius, but now Woo Ho-young was showing it.

What was even more surprising happened then.

Woo Ho-young’s voice fills the field.

“It’s not over yet!”

Hoyoung, whose face was flushed red, was holding a soccer ball in his hand, and a harsh voice was coming out of his mouth.

It was a roar that blew away the frustration that had been buried inside.

[Ah…. That’s right! It’s not over yet!]

[That’s it. I thought I could win. You must never give up your fighting spirit. I’m thrilled.]

Gulp.

The commentator swallowed the saliva he had been holding in and said.

Time is 92 minutes.

There was only one minute left, but the game was still very tense.

So the game resumed.

Beep –

[The game resumes with Lionel Messi pushing the ball to Riquelme.]

[The players rush in at the same time!]

[Riquelme passes back to Gago!]

[Ah, the ball ends up going to Romero. There is no time.]

The last minute was no longer 40 seconds.

All of the Korean players rushed to the front line to steal the ball, but nothing happened.

Argentina remained calm until the end.

at last.

Beep-

“Ahh….”

The referee’s whistle signaled the end of the game.

2 to 1.

Although Argentina had a one-sided advantage in the game, the score was only 1 point different.

It was a disappointing loss.

“Aaaah….”

Hoyoung lost all strength in his legs and fell down on the floor.

I curled up on the floor and cried for a long time.

The high point was just around the corner…

I think I would have been able to do it if I had had time… but

I couldn’t get over my feelings of regret and resentment.

It was not a defeat he could easily handle.

There was a man who approached him.

Tuk-tuk.

He said while patting Hoyoung on the back.

“good job. “It was a good game.”

Riquelme.

He said with a generous face.

“Don’t blame yourself too much. “You did well and today’s loss will be a great asset to your football career.”

It was an obvious statement, but he meant it.

Because Riquelme believes that there is no better defeat than victory, but there are times when defeat can be helpful.

Hoyoung expressed his gratitude for the valuable advice.

Then Riquelme took off his uniform.

“Let’s change our uniforms. “You and Leo can change clothes at any time, right?”

right.

There were many days ahead of him with Lionel Messi, but not with Riquelme.

He was scheduled to leave Spain and return to his hometown at the end of this year, so today might be their last match.

It was a precious time.

Hoyoung also took off his uniform and returned the favor.

“Thank you. “I learned a lot.”

“Then it would be an honor. From now on, I will support your future path from afar. Of course, not as good as Messi. ha ha ha!”

The last classic playmaker, Riquelme.

He ended the conversation with a joke and left.

It was the moment when the lineage of a classic playmaker that should have been cut off was passed on to Hoyoung.

Hoyoung swallowed all the tears that were welling up in anger.

As my vision became clearer, welcome messages arrived.

[Burning fighting spirit (A+2)↑]

[Unbreakable boldness (A+)]

Mental growth.

Was it an achievement for overcoming fear?

Along with the rise in fighting spirit, the rare talent of ‘unbreakable boldness’ was revealed.

Of course, it didn’t end here.

[The talent vessel is currently full. The Black Panther’s elastic muscles (13th) are waiting.]

[Select the talent you want to pursue after 13 days.]

– Phenomenal ball keeping (S+)

– Unrivaled creativity (S+)

– Overwhelming free kick (S-)

-(See more)

We succeeded in discovering Riquelme’s amazing ball keeping (S+) in advance.

This is followed by Messi’s talent ‘fantastic positioning (A+3)’.

‘This season is going to be very busy.’

If we meet Messi in the Spanish first division, we will be able to bring out his advanced talent in earnest.

Today’s loss was painful, but the future was even more important.

‘Next time we will win. certainly.’

Hoyoung clenched his fists.

A hot feeling rose up, burning even my head.

It was my first time feeling this way.

Suddenly this thought occurred to me.

If Messi had been himself, would he have been able to lead Korea to the finals?

As those thoughts crossed his mind, Hoyoung got up from his knees and stood up.

I was angry and angry, but that allowed me to work harder.

The moment he walked out of the field, shaking off his regret, the audience applauded his efforts.

[Our players showed a lot. The possibility that we can definitely achieve it next time. Isn’t this enough?]

[It’s too much. I’ve already shown you everything I have to show you. Especially Woo Ho-young’s last shot. That genius must have been clearly observed by countless fans around the world. However, I am worried that I may have put too much strain on my body. Since I am young, my team should take good care of me in advance.]

And.

Behind Hoyoung, who trudged out of the stadium, Lionel Messi, the leading contributor of today’s game, stood in his place and could not take his eyes off him.

The game was over, but Messi was still wrapped up in the heat.

‘Woo Ho-young.’

3 years?

No, definitely this year.

I had a feeling that I would face him in the league.

Today’s game served as a clear motivation that allowed me to keep working hard without resting.

The next day.

Real Madrid’s front office has been busy since the morning.

It was because of good and bad news that came unexpectedly.

Santiago Bernabeu’s president’s office.

Perez felt strange after receiving the news.

First, the good news was that a recruitment offer came from Manchester City, which was acquired by Mansour, a Middle Eastern oil tycoon.
