All Football Talents Are Mine Chapter 191

191. The fearful Woo Ho-young (2)

[Real Madrid, who was hiding his claws, recorded a draw at the San Siro Stadium with over 80,000 spectators!]

[Woo Ho-young’s shooting speed was measured at 154 km per hour… June 1997 It was faster than Roberto Carlos’ UFO shot at the time…]

[The first half was the worst, the second half was the best. The results are good, but the real problem is Real Madrid’s inconsistent performance. The prevailing opinion was that he lacked tactical flexibility and ability to control his condition.]

Various articles were widely circulated throughout Spain.

Local fans showed different reactions.

While some defended the match, saying it was a good fight, there were also fans who criticized Real Madrid’s first half performance and Schuster’s qualifications.

Naturally, La Liga Mania was hotter than ever.

[Today’s game was literally hell. Real Madrid’s first half was truly a disaster. On the other hand, Inter’s offensive power was impressive. I think I understand why Mourinho is a special one.]

└That’s right. I felt that soccer is not just played at the stadium.

└Still, I’m glad we got a draw.

└Barcelona beat Manchester United 4-2, but Real Madrid is satisfied with a draw?

└It was truly a performance worthy of Futta Madrid. Just making it to the semifinals is a miracle. Madrid is coming to an end~

Bang!

A pub in Madrid.

“Damn it!”

One die-hard Real Madrid fan couldn’t stand it anymore and ended up swearing.

“We’re the last ones? It stayed quiet for a while and then slowly came out again. “You worm-like bastards.”

“They need to be exterminated. “I’m going to have to give him a good beating in this El Clasico.”

The game had already ended a long time ago, but Real Madrid fans were unable to leave because they were disappointed.

The result of 2-2 was definitely satisfactory, but I was very disappointed with the performance in the first half.

“I don’t understand why Schuster didn’t start Van Nistelrooy.”

“I know. Didn’t you predict that Inter would focus on Woo Ho-young? “If the center is blocked, shouldn’t you open the sides and cross?”

“Or put Sneijder in midfield to spread the pressure. “Why don’t you ease the burden on Woo Ho-young by adding van der Vaart?”

“I know yeah! Did you see it last time? Dutch connections are still thriving. “This doesn’t mean that the player base is thin, but that Schuster is not using the players properly?”

The number of people questioning Schuster’s abilities began to increase.

“I don’t know why they insist on using older players. Have you seen Mourinho use Luis Figuna Crespo?”

“that’s right. To be honest, Cannavaro today wasn’t that good even to me. “It looks like your condition hasn’t fully recovered yet.”

“Garai should have come out instead. Now, Schuster tends to blindly trust that the old masters will do something.”

“Will we be able to do a proper rebuild during the upcoming summer transfer window? “You are so untrustworthy….”

Distrust.

There was a suspicion among fans that the team would have achieved much better results if it had been a coach other than Schuster.

Barcelona fans were already in a festive mood following their 4-2 win over Manchester United at Camp Nou.

This is because as long as they blocked it in the second game, they could easily advance to the finals.

Moreover, they had already advanced to the final of the King’s Cup (Copa del Rey) and were leading the points in La Liga.

Treble.

In other words, fans could not hide their excitement as they got closer and closer to winning the triple crown.

But Guardiola’s thoughts were completely different.

Ferguson’s Manchester United were not a very soft team and there was no guarantee how things would turn out at Old Trafford.

Moreover, in the league, they were only one point behind Real Madrid, so they could not let down their guard at all.

‘The winner will be decided in this El Clásico.’

For Guardiola, this El Clásico came as an enormous burden.

Didn’t we lose at home last December too?

Just thinking about that time made me feel like my blood was rushing even while I was sleeping.

‘If you happen to lose, the rankings will immediately be overturned.’

To make matters worse, the second leg of the Champions League against Manchester United was scheduled right after that.

It’s literally hell.

“I’m embarrassed.”

But now El Clásico was the most urgent priority.

Since Manchester United was already winning by two points, they had the advantage of being able to play defensive football.

On the other hand, Real Madrid was a target that had to be defeated.

No matter how bad we were, we had to at least get a draw.

‘It would be better to be defensive.’

This was a decision made after watching the Inter match several times.

Hoyoung Woo had changed.

It wasn’t the monster I saw last December.

He was going beyond monsters and challenging the limits of humanity.

No, maybe it’s more than that.

Therefore, what Barcelona needed now was a customized strategy to attack Real Madrid.

From that day on, Guardiola stayed up all night studying ways to catch Woo Ho-young.

And on the third day.

Guardiola, who went to the training ground, called Yaya Toure, Abidal Pique, Puyol and Busquets.

And said.

“You guys are starting tomorrow.”

May 2nd, the day of the game.

The Madrid area was crowded with tens of thousands of soccer fans.

El Clásico has great significance, but it is even more meaningful as it is a match in which the outline of the league’s winning team will be revealed.

Real Madrid’s team bus headed to the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium to a grand welcome ceremony.

As Hoyoung left the show for the third time following Raul and Zidane, voices chanting “La Salvador.” echoed throughout the city.

‘I can’t afford to lose.’

Hoyoung pretended to slit his throat with his thumb in front of the camera.

As the image appeared on the outdoor electronic display board of the stadium, a cheer that seemed to float the entire city rang out.

Wow!

Countless people who are enthusiastic about their every action.

As Hoyoung looked at it, he felt the lumpy skin of chicken rising up his forearm.

Hoyoung maintained that condition and went into the stadium to warm up.

Even when he encountered Barcelona players, he did not even give them a glance.

It wasn’t the time yet.

A trophy was at stake in this game, and no matter how close we were, we couldn’t smile and say hello to each other.

The tension reached its peak an hour before the game started.

It was because of a word from Coach Schuster, who came to the home team’s locker room.

“Valdes Abidal Pique Puyol Busquets Toure Xavi Iniesta Messi Henry Eto’o. “This is Barcelona’s starting list.”

“Wait. “There’s no Alves, right?”

“He’s a replacement member.”

“!”

Everyone clearly looked surprised.

“Then who will look at the right fullback? Are you saying you want to form a back three with Abidal Pique Puyol?”

“If you do that, the midfield composition will become unbalanced, so it can’t happen. “The key is Iniesta, Xavi, and defensive midfielders.”

“What then, Yaya Toure as central defender?”

“You came out very purposefully. “Sending out such a large number of tough players means that they will beat us up outside the box.”

Although they were not talented, they were players with a basic understanding of tactics and insight, so it was enough to understand Guardiola’s intentions at this level.

“A war is about to begin.”

Raoul was right.

Hoyoung agreed and answered accordingly.

“The war must end here.”

Decisive battle.

It started about an hour from now.

Beep-

[The 2008-09 season is already approaching its end. El Clásico, which will decide the fate of both teams, has begun.]

[Real Madrid chose 4-2-3-1, which has the highest winning percentage, as their starting formation. Barcelona also came out with the existing 4-3-3. We paid a lot of attention to the defense today.]

One of Barcelona’s weapons is Daniel Alves, who is responsible for strong overlapping.

However, in today’s game, Carles Puyol took his place at right fullback.

And Yaya Toure and Gerard Pique were deployed in central defense.

At first glance, it was a powerful and defensive four-back line.

‘To put it simply, it’s about defense rather than offense.’

Hoyoung, who had a vague understanding of the situation, summarized today’s game in his head.

And finally, I summarized the talents that can be explored today.

The SS level talent of Messi and Henry.

This was only if all conditions were satisfied.

‘Let’s not worry too much about the conditions.’

Hoyoung believes that talent is talent, but career is just as valuable.

Gathering and growing talent was ultimately meant to build a career.

Therefore, the important thing is to win.

Hoyoung ran only for victory.

[Even after 24 minutes of the first half, there has not been a single effective shot.]

[Raul, who was used as a left winger, and Van Nistelrooy at the front line are struggling. Woo Ho-young’s playmaking seems to be desperately needed.]

The flow of the game was very loose, unlike the excitement in the stadium.

But around the 40th minute of the first half.

A fierce battle for the ball occurred before the end of the first half.

Yaya Toure, known as Tank, gradually blocked Hoyoung’s movements through organic movements with his teammates.

That’s why there were four yellow cards in the first half alone.

Nevertheless, the fierce situation continued.

[As the back-and-forth battle intensifies, both teams are not distributing the ball properly in the midfield.]

[Woo Ho-young eventually comes down to the midfield and receives the ball. He immediately tries to break through into the empty space.]

That was right then.

“Where!”

As soon as Hoyoung attempted to quickly break through space, Yaya Toure, who was standing nearby, made a rough tackle from a diagonal.

The feet were too high to be considered a simple tackle.

The target is the back of the shins.

however.

“!”

Hoyoung, who took his foot out at an amazing time, slightly deflected the ball to the left.

Toure hurriedly stood up and blocked his path, but Hoyoung had already made a shooting motion.

The shooting angle was closed so tightly that it was barely visible, but Hoyoung boldly shot.

And that too by putting all of my strength on my ankles.

Cough!

It was a shot that could easily surpass 150 kilometers per hour.

However, before I could go far, I got stuck.

The distance traveled was only about 1 meter.

It was Yaya Toure’s shot blocked right in front of him.

However, the problem is that it was not intentional, but a semi-forced shot blocking.

“Kaaaaaa!”

After blocking the soccer ball with his face, Toure fell to the floor and urgently raised his hand.

[Ah… I guess it hits me in the face.]

[Getting hit in the face by a soccer ball is a common occurrence, but getting hit that close is rare. Besides, he seemed quite strong.]

[Why not? Blood is pouring from Yaya Toure’s nose. My lips were all torn. I don’t know if the teeth will be okay.]

“Ugh….”

Yaya Toure’s blurred vision soon returned and Kofi stopped over time, but there was another problem.

Bleep-

The tinnitus ringing sound did not go away easily.

Additionally, my lips and gums were completely torn, so it was not something I could bear.

My teeth also seemed to be shaking.

What he needed right now was treatment and rest, not stopping the bleeding.

Still, Guardiola asked with hope, just in case.

“Can Toure play?”

“Numheu aeheun… Dejo….”

“Haa….”

Guardiola covered his head.

Even though he had tried to prevent injuries through thorough player management, there was nothing he could do.

‘I was definitely aiming for it.’

That was all I could think of.

It was clearly an intentional action to hit the face from less than 1 meter away.

‘He realized that Toure was trying to injure him.’

Either way, there was no choice but to send Toure out.

Guardiola requested a player substitution.

[Yaya Toure is out and Daniel Alves is in. Abidal-Pique-Puyol-Alves form the back four.]

[This is what happens in the end. Guardiola, who came up with a surprise tactic, is heartbroken.]

Guardiola instructed the players to maintain a consistent defensive attitude.

At the same time, he urged people to be careful of counterattacks.

Accordingly, Real Madrid also changed their plans.

Hoyoung, who went down to midfield, said.

“Jiju, I will go to the front lines.”
