All Football Talents Are Mine Chapter 206

206. Difference in level (2)

Benzema’s greed and jealousy.

Hoyoung wasn’t sure, but he had some idea.

I’ve felt that constantly since he joined the team.

In particular, when Scolari was away at the training ground, Benzema often hung around and made sarcastic remarks.

At least once, I tried to step up and start a war of nerves, but I couldn’t.

This is because every time that happens, Marcelo and Ramos Pepe are the first to come forward and curse at Benzema.

Moreover, Hoyoung, the team’s main player, could not act hastily.

If you criticize the French faction, it will only give greater strength to the Spanish faction and create an even more serious faction.

Even Raul and Guti, the team’s spiritual pillars, were biased to one side, so someone was needed to firmly center the team and sort out the situation.

That was Hoyoung.

In fact, the French faction did not dislike Hoyoung at all.

This was especially true for Benzema, whose positions overlapped, but Lassana Diarra, Mamadou Sakho and Yoao Gourcuff actually liked and respected Hoyoung.

In this situation, Hoyoung wanted to merge the two teams into one.

That was why he prevented Benzema’s mistakes.

In fact, if Philippe Luis is allowed to break through and concede a goal, all the arrows will fall on Benzema.

I could make it like that if I wanted to.

But that wasn’t Hoyoung’s way.

The field is not political and soccer is not political.

The reason for running is to kick the ball, and kicking the ball is to beat the opponent.

And for yourself.

For the fans who support him.

At least that’s what Hoyoung thought.

Because I learned that from Kaka and Zinedine Zidane.

So now.

Percussion!

[Woo Ho-young! Run!]

That was why I ran with all my might.

Hoyoung’s gaze fell deep into the front.

The defensive number is four.

Central defenders Alberto Lopo and Ze Castro were in charge of the final defensive line, with Benzema in charge, while Juan Rodriguez and Zuca formed the first blocking line above them.

The left and right fullbacks were busy trying to keep up with Ronaldo and Robben’s sprint.

Therefore, Hoyoung.

‘face.’

I ran into the middle of it.

Philippe Luis, who made a mistake, tried to run at full speed, but the gap only widened further.

No matter how experienced a runner he was, he could not keep up with the energy radiating from Hoyoung’s strong thighs.

“Damn it.”

Lewis’ face turned pale and he changed direction without even following along.

This is because it seemed virtually impossible to mark Woo Ho-young, who had already gained momentum.

‘crazy.’

Then he shook his head.

I just knew it was fast, but I didn’t know it would be that fast.

It seemed like the only thing I could trust was the goalkeeper.

The situation unfolded quickly.

Xabi Alonso received the ball and stabbed a pass deep into the front line.

It was a pass that went exactly between Alberto Lopo and Ze Castro.

[It extends straight into the penalty area! The pass seemed a little long!]

[First, Woo Ho-young runs at full speed!]

The pass looked a little long.

But that was exactly Xabi Alonso’s goal.

I thought Woo Ho-young would be able to completely bypass the defenders and catch the ball.

and.

Percussion!

[Alonso’s pass hits Woo Ho-young’s toes just right!]

As a master of the unrivaled ‘ground-splitting pass’, Alonso created the perfect situation with just one pass.

Plus.

[Woo Ho-young’s fantastic first touch!]

Ho-young quickly brought the ball to his feet as if he had caught it with his hand.

All that remained was the goalkeeper.

[One-on-one chance with the goalkeeper! At the same time, Daniel Aranzubia comes running out!]

“Huh.”

In front of the door.

Hoyoung took a deep breath and concentrated his mind.

Goalkeeper Daniel Aranzubia rushed out with a frown on his face, but Hoyoung’s face was infinitely calm.

It looked like he would definitely succeed in scoring unless a natural disaster occurred.

Moreover, there was a teammate right next to him with a no-mark chance, so it was literally a perfect scoring opportunity.

For a moment, Hoyoung’s gaze turned towards that direction.

I could see Benzema gesturing for me to quickly give him a pass.

For a very brief moment, their eyes met in midair.

Passing that way would have a much higher chance of scoring.

but.

Toouk.

The ball had already left Hoyoung’s feet.

Being able to kick the ball stably without looking is the ultimate ball sense.

The ball that Hoyoung kicked flew in a parabola and passed the goalkeeper’s height.

At that moment, the faces of Daniel Aranzubia and Karim Benzema crumpled at the same time.

And the goal post swayed slightly.

[Gooooooooooo! Woo Ho-young scores his first goal of the season!]

[I thought he would turn his head slightly at the end and pass, but he solved it with a lob shot. It’s amazing. It was a bold play that anyone without a strong heart would have dared to make. It can be seen that they overwhelmed the goalkeeper in psychological warfare.]

The audience was not in an uproar.

Hot voices shouting WHY were pouring out onto the field, and drums were pounding from the supporters’ seats.

Hoyoung ran to Xabi Alonso with the shouts all over his body.

The two celebrated their goal with a light hug.

Xabi Alonso, who usually has a gentle personality and rarely speaks, smiled and gave a thumbs up.

It was an extraordinary experience for him.

‘As expected, I never betray my trust.’

Even though he had only recently joined the team, he already trusted Hoyoung.

It was a feeling he had experienced for the first time since he had joined the Gerrard-Torres line at Liverpool.

I even thought that maybe I could achieve everything at Real Madrid.

After the first half ended 2-0.

The players returned to the locker room in good spirits.

However, there was one person who couldn’t get along and was crouching alone in the corner.

‘Shit.’

It was Karim Benzema who ruined everything.

The opportunity to provide an assist was missed by a mistake, and Woo Ho-young took advantage of the mistake and scored a goal.

By now, it was clear that each media company would be writing provocative articles such as ‘Woo Ho-young cleaning up Benzema’s poop.’

Truly the worst debut match.

I didn’t want to go to the stadium anymore today.

I shouted to my parents in France that I was going to score my debut goal, but it made no sense.

It was natural to feel harsh gaze from colleagues.

‘It’s a complete disgrace. ‘I can’t believe I’m getting help from a kid who’s only sixteen.’

It was entirely his fault.

At least Woo Ho-young scored a fantastic goal to cover up his mistake, otherwise he would have been criticized by the fans.

And now I felt like I knew a little bit.

Why did Scolari say that before the replacement?

‘How do they play soccer like that?’

Doubts lingered in my mind.

Woo Ho-young, who I felt in real life, felt like more than two people running as one body.

He covered half the court by himself, not only utilizing his own strengths but also making up for the players’ shortcomings.

I could clearly feel it as we played together in the stadium.

How helpful his presence is to the team.

“Huh…”

All Benzema could do was lower his head and sigh.

But that was right then.

“Raise your head.”

Benzema looked up at the sudden voice and saw Woo Ho-young standing right in front of him.

He said.

“You are a striker for Los Blancos. “Lift your head up.”

“You are a very great madridista.”

“That’s what Zizou told me one day. If you truly want to belong to a team, you have to change your mindset first. So stop talking nonsense, raise your head and look around. “Look at your fellow colleagues.”

“….”

Benzema couldn’t say anything.

I felt like I had been hit in the back of the head with a hammer, and I was just dizzy.

And by the time Hoyoung left to change his clothes.

“You’re losing money…”

Benzema glanced around and pledged to make a comeback.

The second half, which soon began, went in a similar fashion to the first half.

Real Madrid never gave up the initiative after taking possession of the ball and calmly created opportunities by building up possession in the midfield.

Adrian Lopez applied harsh pressure, but Mahamadou Diarra and Xabi Alonso passed the ball reliably and kept the ball.

[It’s a pretty frustrating situation for Deportivo.]

[That’s right. If Real Madrid steps forward like that, Deportivo has no choice but to increase the number in the midfield.]

As expected, Deportivo strengthened the midfield through replacements.

However, Scolari also responded by removing Robben and inserting Fernando Gago in midfield.

Seeing Gago being deployed for the first time in a long time since his injury, the audience stood up and gave him a standing ovation.

[At the same time, Ronaldo rises and forms a top two with Benzema. With this, Real Madrid’s formation changes to 4-3-1-2.]

[This is a tactic favored by Inter coach Mourinho. The role of Woo Ho-young, an attacking midfielder in charge of playmaking, can be seen as very important.]

That was the start.

The flow of the game began to change again.

And Woo Ho-young’s versatility began to shine even further.

[Woo Ho-young moves down to midfield. He joins the midfield and has a numerical advantage over his opponent.]

[He is showing tremendous activity. I don’t think I’m tired. Where on earth is Woo Ho-young from last season, who was said to be physically weak?]

[Well, I don’t know. That player may be running a marathon on the side.]

As the commentary said, Hoyoung was showing off a variety of plays based on his superior physical strength.

When the back-and-forth battle became fierce, he moved down to the midfield to help relieve pressure from his teammates, and when that did not happen, he moved up to the second line and applied pressure from the front.

Although it was a play that was not recorded on record, it was of great help to the players on the field.

And the most surprising thing is.

Percussion!

Right when you go on the attack.

“…!”

“Zuka! Wake!”

“Change the defensive line to flat!”

As soon as Hoyoung caught the ball, Deportivo’s defense first tensed.

This is because the offensive development was completely different from the first half.

[Woo Ho-young dribbles succinctly. Zuca approaches in front of him.]

[Up front, Ronaldo and Benzema are trying to find the right time to penetrate the offside line. Breaking through seems the best.]

At halftime, defensive midfielder Juca, who had been given a special order by the coach, stepped in front of him.

‘You can’t stop it completely. All you have to do is get in the way.’

His role is to block penetration and guard the back space.

The resulting shooting angle was decided to be handled by the five defenders standing behind them.

All Jooka had to do was stop Woo Ho-young from breaking through at all costs.

‘Even if it’s a slight foul, you have to knock it down.’

With that in mind, I stepped forward.

However, as if Hoyoung had seen through that thought, he did not attempt to break through.

Let alone breaking through, it didn’t move at all.

It was just standing alone in the middle of the wide two-line line, like a deeply rooted giant tree.

That time was only 2 seconds.

And it was right after that.

Percussion!

“…Huh?!”

[Lobbing pass to the left flank!]

[Cristiano Ronaldo runs and wins the ball!]

Ronaldo and Benzema, who were wandering around the offside line, split to both sides at the right time.

At the same time, the defenders split on both sides, creating an empty space in the center of the box.

It was that empty space that Hoyoung dug into.

What remains is Ronaldo’s pass.

Tuk.

As expected, he did not disappoint expectations and passed the pass to the other side.

It was Benzema who stood there.

[Benzema received Ronaldo’s pass! You should look at Woo Ho-young standing in the center of the box!]

Benzema was momentarily embarrassed after receiving the ball.

Aren’t you already moving in line with Hoyoung’s play?

I couldn’t understand how this happened.

I just left to the flow of the game, and before I knew it, I had a decisive chance.

Now I felt like I fully understood what Scolari meant.

Woo Ho-young’s playmaking is the answer, and if we follow him, we will be eliminated.

widely!

[Benzema’s pass! Woo Ho-young catches it!]

[Then shoo-woo-woo-woo!]

Ho-young caught Benzema’s pass one beat faster with his right foot.

The place where it landed was in the right corner of the goal.

Grumble!

[Gooooooooooooo! Woo Ho-young’s multi-goal explosion!!]

Woooooooooooo!

A roar erupted that seemed to float the stadium.

However, instead of celebrating, Hoyoung ran like crazy to the VIP seats located on the opposite side of the goalpost.

Then he lifted his uniform up to his chest.

Then the T-shirt he was wearing inside was revealed.

There was a sentence written in cursive.

Thank you to our conductor Suzhou.

A goal ceremony to commemorate Zidane’s retirement ceremony in advance.

Zidane, who was sitting with his family at the scene, covered his face with both hands.

And the game went on without change and ended just like that.

3 to 0.

The preseason was full of controversy and hardships, but the opening game was truly the best.

Then, Zidane’s official retirement ceremony began.
