All Football Talents Are Mine Chapter 151

151. Lucky day (2)

5 o’clock in the morning.

Korean soccer fans wake up early in the morning and wait for sports news.

And after a while.

The articles they had been waiting for so long decorated various portal sites.

[Starting list Woo Ho-young starts against Sporting Gijon… Aiming for his 3rd goal of the season…]

Woo Ho-young was included in the starting lineup for the 4th round of La Liga held at Santiago Bernabeu in Madrid, Spain on the 25th (Korean time).

Although he was unable to play in the away game against Racing Santander three days ago, he will appear as a starter in today’s game. On this day, Woo Ho-young will be deployed alone to the front line and will be tested to see if his offensive power is sufficient.

In addition, Real Madrid will deploy Raul Guti Saviola in the second line of attack, and Diarra and Gago will play double volanche in the midfield. And the defense is solidly guarded by Carlos Cannavaro and Pepe Ramos, and Casillas blocks the goal.]

└Finally the selection!!!!!

└Let’s go for the 3rd goal in the league!

└I’m more worried than that… What if I start as a starter and get hurt for no reason? They say Sporting Gijon is very combative

└Wouldn’t they take it easy? Woo Ho-young already kicked a Serbian guy in the second division

└But they don’t care about that. Even if it means being a eunuch, scoring a goal is more important, right? They have 3 losses and 8 points in 3 games this season.

└They have 3 losses and 8 points in 3 games. Haha, real men,

Madrid, Spain.

As the time approached 10 p.m., the atmosphere at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium heated up.

It was the same for the commentators.

[Sporting Gijon came out with a 4-3-3 formation, no different from the last three games. On the other hand, Real Madrid looks different than usual.]

[That’s right. By deploying very experienced players on the defensive line, they are showing their intention to block Sporting Gijon’s powerful scoring ability. In the third line, Fernando Gago, who is good at developing passes and capturing space, and Diarra were brought in to protect the back four line.] [In

other words, you are conscious of Sporting Gijon’s scoring ability?]

[ you’re right. Although the team is on a losing streak, Sporting Gijon is a fierce team that fights back in every game. I expect today’s game to be the same. So Coach Schuster strengthened the defense in midfield to avoid giving up space. I can see it as a good choice.]

[I guess I can’t not do it if I don’t have expectations. Let’s look forward to an exciting match today.]

Sporting Gijon.

Since coach Manuel Preciado took office in 2006, the team has been playing hot attacking football, and this was maximized as they were promoted to the first division for the first time in 10 years.

They faced Getafe in the first round and lost 2-3.

In the second round, they lost 4-5 to Sevilla.

In the third round, they lost 2-6 to Barcelona.

Although there were many problems with defense, the team was quite good in terms of scoring ability.

That was why Real Madrid chose a stable operation centered on defense.

The home team tunnel at that time.

Real Madrid’s starting players were waiting to enter in a relaxed manner.

No matter how good the opponent’s scoring ability is, if he can’t defend, it’s like pouring water into a bottomless pit.

Therefore, the mindset was that if you don’t let your guard down, you can easily win.

However, there was one player who was particularly nervous.

‘Every game is a continuation of tension.’

Woo Ho-young.

It was a moment he experienced for the first time as he was starting for the first time today.

The atmosphere in the tunnel before the game started was very different from what was expected.

Unlike just before the second half started, it was calm and quiet.

Because the tunnel at Santiago Bernabeu is structured so that the home and away teams are separated, a war of nerves could not occur in the tunnel.

Most of the players were either collecting their minds or wasting their time chatting with the escort kids like Guti and Carlos.

Hoyoung was the former.

The boldness I developed on the Olympic stage was a great help.

‘Just don’t be conscious and just do what you normally do. There is no difference in being selected. ‘Don’t be scared.’

Hoyoung tightened his hands and strengthened his resolve.

It was that moment.

“evil!”

“Oh my. Are you okay?”

It was Hoyoung’s mistake to forget that he was holding a young girl’s hand.

Ramos burst into laughter at that sight.

“Relax, man.”

“haha. yes.”

“Can I tell you something? “I’m only 7 years older than the kid next to you.”

“That means I am young. “Do you think the kids will like me better like that?”

“Where on earth does this confidence come from?”

Ramos was at eye level with the child and asked:

“Who is your favorite player?”

“Raoul.”

“Are you honest? “Then what about me or him?”

“I like Woo better.”

“really?”

“yes.”

“Would you like to say it again?”

“Uh-yo.”

A girl who speaks without a moment of hesitation.

Ramos asked in disbelief, his eyes not containing the slightest hint of lies.

“why?”

“Woo looks better.”

“oh my god.”

Ramos, who had grown up occasionally hearing people call him handsome, couldn’t believe it.

However, in the girl’s eyes, Ramos was just a handsome old man.

On the other hand, Woo Ho-young was my older brother.

“Tsk tsk. I have eyes to see. He also has very good judgment. “If you play soccer, you can become a female Raul.”

As Hoyoung said that, his face suddenly became lighter.

As we laughed and talked, the tension was slowly dissipating.

It was right then.

[Ladies and gentlemen, Real Madrid and Sporting Gijon players will enter shortly!]

The announcer’s voice rang out majestically.

Then the referees and police shield soldiers ran onto the field, shaking hands with the players.

It’s the players’ turn next.

Raoul spoke up.

“¡Vamos!”

“¡Vamos!”

With Raul’s call to leave, the players came out of the tunnel with determination.

Excited.

A tense moment again.

‘let’s go.’

As Hoyoung proudly walked out with his shoulders straight, the Real Madrid cheering song echoing through the stadium hit his eardrums.

-Madrid! Madrid! Madrid! ¡Hala Madrid-!

Goosebumps appeared all over my body.

But this was not just tension.

Excitement and excitement.

Every time I felt this way, the game would go well, and for some reason it felt like that again today.

It felt good.

I wanted to rush out to the halfway line and roam the entire stadium.

I turned my head and looked to the side.

At the same time, Sporting Gijon players were entering from the right tunnel.

They had a competitive spirit that rivaled any other team.

It was revealed in their every action.

The away fans were excited to see that.

“Oooooooh! “Destroy it!”

“Madrid at your feet!”

Sportingista.

Although they were far inferior to the Madridistas in numbers, they were not far behind in cheering.

It turned into a fight between the two teams.

A madridista calmly sings a cheering song.

On the other hand, Sportingista is screaming like a hooligan, threatening to cause a riot.

The game began amidst a fierce battle between the two teams.

Beep!

“Waaaaaaaa!”

“Push!!”

The excitement was so great that you could even believe it was a Champions League knockout match.

Among them, Guti, who took the kickoff, pushed the ball to Hoyoung.

With the ball at his feet, Hoyoung felt his heart pounding as if it were going to explode.

A feeling I haven’t felt in a long time.

Hoyoung always ran explosively at times like this.

Should I say that it is a way to relieve the excitement that is stuck in my chest?

The driving force behind being able to adapt well to unfamiliar places such as the Brazilian League, World Cup, Olympics, and Segunda Liga.

Hoyoung wanted to run quickly.

so.

widely.

After giving a pass to Guti again, he penetrated to the front.

At the same time, my eyes quickly turned.

‘Attack-oriented 433 formation. There are a lot of holes from the start.’

It was just as Hoyoung thought.

Today, Sporting Gijon was building a defensive line consisting of Canella, Gerard, Jorge, and Sastre, but due to their strong offensive tendencies, there were big problems with their defense from the start.

But they didn’t even think about filling up the space, as if it didn’t matter whether they knew or not.

Rather, both fullbacks Canella and Sastre raised their lines to apply pressure from the start of the game.

Moreover, central defenders Gerard and Jorge were also showing moves to press forward.

The center was as wide open as an empty plain.

It was Hoyoung’s favorite painting, and he did not miss that point and attempted to infiltrate the first line.

[Woo Ho-young! Infiltrate the front lines as soon as the game starts. He poses a threat to the opponent by showing consistent off-the-ball movement.]

[The opponent is the same. Even though they don’t have the ball, Sporting Gijon players are also active. Rather than building a solid defense, it would be more correct to say that it is a move to quickly steal the ball and attack.] [

Meanwhile, Real Madrid’s back line is steadily running the game and building up. Woo Ho-young is the only player at the front.]

[The moment you said that, Guti is looking at the front. Movement to check the passing angle. Are you stabbing me from the front?]

The flow is getting faster.

Guti wasted no time and immediately launched an attack.

His condition was good today and he was able to pass across the center and head to the front line in one go.

It was a key pass that came just 42 seconds after the game started.

Percussion!

[Woo Ho-young! With his back to Gerard, he catches Guti’s pass!]

Gerard, a 30-year-old veteran defender, lunged at Hoyoung with his large body.

‘Where.’

As if it was a life-or-death decision, he tried with all his might to steal the ball from Hoyoung.

Aggressive physical fighting with arms thrust was the norm.

But Hoyoung never took it easy.

[Woo Ho-young doesn’t lose the ball!]

[I’m playing with the ball. Ball control is close to a work of art!]

It didn’t end there.

Tap tap.

A few seemingly simple movements.

Hoyoung, with his back to the defense, easily snatched the ball through Gerard’s crotch.

There was no psychological warfare or calculation.

Everything was done sensuously.

[Woo Ho-young! Sensible play!]

[He is truly showing genius moves today! How far can we go?]

Hoyoung stopped there.

With defenders swarming in, we had to make quick and clear decisions.

The striker hesitated and there was no answer.

It was immediately after that that Hoyoung’s actions continued.

[Mid-distance shoouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut) mid-range shot, beating out one person, Ho-Young Woo)!]

A surprise mid-distance shot that hit with great enthusiasm.

Unfortunately, the ball floated slightly and missed the goal post.

Still, there was success.

Hoyoung was able to gain confidence with this one shot, and the team’s momentum soared through the roof.

Moreover, the time displayed on the scoreboard is only one minute in the first half.

I had a good feeling.

I felt like I could get what I wanted.

Hoyoung turned his head and looked at the opposing defense.

The determination to give it a try was evident in their eyes.

done.

Everything was going as Hoyoung intended.

The rice cakes had been scattered, and now it was time to collect them.
