All Football Talents Are Mine Chapter 205

205. Difference in level (1)

[Real Madrid is truly dominant in the first half. The players’ strengths are clearly being revealed.]

[There is no doubt about it. Hoyoung Woo has shown great activity by running 5km so far. Cristiano Ronaldo, who ran 4.6km, is also a great help to the team. More than anything, I think the chemistry between the two was better than expected. Also, Xabi Alonso’s build-up ability was good.]

Everything was going according to plan.

Even though the chemistry between the players was not perfect, it was never at a level worthy of criticism.

Rather, it was quite excellent considering that it was rebuilt in a short period of time.

In particular, the linkage play starting from Xabi Alonso’s pass was very outstanding, and Hoyoung’s performance in receiving the pass and turning it into a creative play was also good to see.

But it’s still too early to be surprised.

As the first half drew to a close, Raul came out and Benzema was substituted.

“Oh oh!”

“Benzema is appearing, right?”

“Karim Benzema!”

“Let’s score a cool debut goal!”

When Benzema appeared, some spectators cheered.

It was an unbelievable sight that Captain Raoul had left and was replaced by a new transfer.

That’s right, some fans of Real Madrid are currently in love with Benzema’s hot and powerful style.

Maybe it was a natural phenomenon.

If you think about Real Madrid’s strikers in recent years, you will get the answer.

Raul Ronaldo, Robinho, Higuain van Nistelrooy, Antonio Cassano, etc.

Except for Cassano, aren’t they all strikers with an introverted and quiet image?

Then, when a tough and straightforward striker like Benzema appeared, I fell in love with his charm like a junk food.

‘Yes, people want me. ‘Real Madrid needs a striker like me.’

Benzema, who took the field as a lone striker, showed extraordinary determination.

‘I didn’t come here to support Woo Ho-young or Ronaldo.’

The dream he had since he was young was to play in Real Madrid’s white uniform.

That was why he rejected Manchester United’s amazing offer.

He had extraordinary aspirations and ambition.

‘I’m going to change everything at Real Madrid.’

Real Madrid.

He wanted to have Santiago Bernabeu here at his feet.

The given situation was perfect.

Currently, Real Madrid’s die-hard fans were disappointed with Perez and were once again disappointed with Perez’s departure.

Moreover, the rebuilding process led to the team splitting up.

Among them, Benzema wanted to unite the team and become the hero of Real Madrid.

It is ‘skill’.

‘I’m sure I’ll do it.’

Benzema glared at Hoyoung standing below and reflected on his goal.

It was that moment.

There was a strange tension between the two.

And Hoyoung’s eyes were sharply curved.

Karim Benzema.

Although I didn’t have any U-level talent yet, I felt like I could master all the S-level talents, starting with the A-level talent related to ball control.

‘Is artistic linked play a talent integrated into movement?’

I didn’t know it, but I was certain that he was a player who could pursue many things.

The game soon resumed.

widely.

[Woo Ho-young, who received the goal kick with his chest, gives the ball to Xabi Alonso behind him.]

[Benzema runs forward quickly.]

The flow has changed.

Instead of the veteran players seen until last season, the stadium was filled with young energy.

When Deportivo lost the ball, they immediately applied intense pressure and regained it.

Just looking at this, it looks similar to Guardiola’s 6-second rule, but it was a tactic that Scolari implemented in a new way in his own style.

It was the same in that it was able to steal the ball as soon as it was lost, but at the same time, its characteristic was to greatly increase the mobility of the midfielders.

[The goal seems to be to maximize the efficiency of counterattacks by taking advantage of the 4-2-3-1 formation.]

[That’s right. Real Madrid’s forward pressure is quite strong. It’s as if it was a Barcelona tactic.]

[It’s breathtaking. [Deportivo players are hardly able to come out.]

Then the flow of the game changed once again.

When the opponent was wasting time by passing the ball in the defensive zone, the intensity of the pressure was lowered overall to encourage the opponent to advance.

This was Scolari’s method against weak teams.

The game was going as he predicted.

I let my guard down and waited for my opponent to come out, and when the time came, I broke my back and attempted a counterattack again.

[Mahamado Diarra’s tackle in a concise manner! Xabi Alonso catches the ball that came out.] As soon as

Xabi Alonso caught the ball that came out, he looked backwards.

This is because there was no time to send it straight to the front line.

The pass was delivered to Mertesacker at the back.

widely!

Per Mertesacker.

He was an intelligent, commander-type defender that did not match his 2-meter height.

In addition, he was well versed in rear build-up thanks to his fundamental skills and vision for passing.

Especially in situations like this, I had a gut feeling where to send the pass.

‘There it is.’

A player came into Mertesacker’s field of vision.

It was Woo Ho-young, who was advancing from the center toward the second line.

Mertesacker made a decision right away.

‘Is it possible.’

I thought that Woo Ho-young, who had guessed the sum for the past month, would be able to do it.

So the choice I made was a direct pass.

Cough!

[Pair Mertesacker’s long pass falls to the second line. Woo Ho-young is running towards that direction.]

[Juan Rodriguez is running at the same time.]

Juan Rodriguez, who had already taken his position, was able to jump one time faster than Ho-young.

But there were no other benefits.

Rather, his physique was smaller than Hoyoung’s, so he had a very big flaw.

Pow!

“… what!”

Rodriguez, who jumped into the air, was pushed out of the fight without even being able to lift his head.

[Woo Ho-young crushes Rodriguez!]

[It’s terrifying physicality. How can they crush a 27-year-old adult player so cruelly? [For Rodriguez, it might have been better to give up the ball in the air and block the pass.]

At that time, Ronaldo was on the left and Robben on the right, showing off their presence by cutting into the side.

Hoyoung felt like he had gained a thousand soldiers and ten thousand horses.

If the ship I was on before was a first-class destroyer, now it felt like I was on an aircraft carrier.

And Hoyoung was the navigator in the wheelhouse.

‘Let’s focus.’

At that moment, Hoyoung’s brain started spinning quickly.

In an instant, the best attack route flashed into my mind.

‘Ahead.’

Hoyoung, who caught the ball with his chest instead of his head, gave the ball forward briefly.

This was where Benzema was standing.

Percussion!

[Benzema receives a pass with his back

to the defense!] [At the same time, Ho-Young Woo attempts to infiltrate the front line!]

Everything went according to Ho-Young Woo’s plan.

Robben on the right moved actively on the side and lured defenders out of the box, while Ronaldo on the left hurriedly rushed into the box, perfectly preparing for the future attack.

As expected, a world class movement.

Here, the situation was perfect as long as Benzema gave Hoyoung a forward pass.

but.

Toouk.

Benzema overturned everyone’s expectations and turned around.

[Benzema pulls the ball back!]

[Turns around!]

Deportivo’s defense was slightly shaken by the surprise shooting attempt, but the shot was blocked due to the narrow shooting angle.

[Alberto Lopo blocks the shot with his leg!]

Missed shot.

It would be fortunate if it ended there, but after unreasonable greed, a crisis always comes.

The ball bounced off Rojo’s thigh and fell at the feet of right fullback Filipe Luis.

The counterattack began without delay.

[Philippe Luis uses his speed to attempt overlapping! Deportivo’s players are rising all at once!]

Deportivo is a team that is very strong at counterattacking.

First, they establish a solid defense and then pursue sharp counterattacks by utilizing the free-wheeling activities of central striker Adrian Lopez.

And in the process, Filipe Luis’s overlapping shines.

Now was the right time.

[Argen Robben blocks it, but it’s useless! They’re going through it!]

[Real Madrid needs to focus. They could give up an equalizer at the end of the first half!]

Philippe Luis had already crossed the halfway line.

Benzema’s face turned blue at that sight.

‘ruined.’

If we conceded even a point here, it would be like taking a train to hell.

Literally ‘worst debut’.

If I had hit the ball to Hoyoung without overdoing it, this unfortunate incident would not have happened.

But it was already too late to regret.

It was a moment when Benzema’s face was covered with astonishment.

“…!!”

[Woo Ho-young! Woo Ho-young is running!]

[He is showing his incredible running instinct!]

Ho-young, who was at the forefront, has already run 50 meters and returned to the halfway line.

It was hard to believe even after seeing it.

“Louis! be careful!”

“Coming behind you!”

Philippe Luis, who was running after hitting the ball, glanced over and took stock of the situation.

‘No problem.’

All you had to do was pass the ball to Adrian Lopez.

And that was the moment when he handed a pass to Adrian Lopez in front.

Percussion!

“…!!”

[Woo Ho-young’s sliding tackle!]

[Philippe Luis’ pass is cut off! Woo Ho-young is showing incredible fighting spirit!]

An unbelievable situation.

Didn’t Woo Ho-young, who was running like crazy from behind, block the pass?

Philippe Luis was astonished.

‘You expected this and cut it out?’

No, there was something even more unbelievable than that.

‘Weren’t you just behind me…?’

It was like that.

Hoyoung Woo was definitely behind there.

It was definitely a relaxed situation for Lewis.

However, Hoyoung’s speed was just too fast than expected.

In addition, the ability to select defensive positions based on prediction ability also played a role.

It was a play you would never see from an attacking midfielder.

Before we knew it, the stadium was filled with Hoyoung’s name.

The crowd who were cheering for Benzema were also shouting Hoyoung’s name.

Now it seems like they don’t even care who Benzema is.

Everyone was enthusiastic about Hoyoung.

Moreover, it did not end there.

The ball that Hoyoung cut rolled and landed on Xabi Alonso who was nearby, and Hoyoung got up like a roly-poly and kicked the ground.

shouted at the same time.

“run!”

From opportunity to crisis.

It was the moment when crisis turned into opportunity.
