All Football Talents Are Mine Chapter 222

222. Perhaps the last El Clásico (1)

Pep Guardiola let out a deep sigh after finishing his conversation with President Laporta.

‘It’s an ultimatum.’

It’s a sad reality.

Although I was in charge of the world’s best team, I was overshadowed by Real Madrid and had the stigma of being second best, so my stress increased with each passing day.

Even if I asked him to do more, I didn’t think I could hold out any longer.

Threatening letter from malicious fans demanding resignation.

A desolate atmosphere flowing within the club.

Even attacks from the media that slander to the core.

I was sick of it.

It would be a relief if my hair fell out, but I was even showing symptoms of anxiety disorder these days.

It was due to excessive perfectionism and obsessive-compulsive disorder caused by stress.

There was an incident like this not long ago.

Guardiola, who felt like his head was going to explode due to the tactical research that had been going on for several days, went shopping at the supermarket with his lover to cool off, but as expected, the paparazzi ended up taking pictures of him.

There were no problems up to that point.

However, when a photo of Guardiola smiling vaguely and picking tomatoes was posted in an article, he became the target of netizens and ate it up with criticism.

-Is it time for you to smile?

-Do you think you have time to go shopping after losing to Real Madrid like that? Aren’t you planning a strategy? Are tomatoes going into your mouth right now?

-Tight. Use that time to create one more tactic. You can’t beat Real Madrid with that damn tiki-taka. You probably know better than anyone else, right?

-Let Barça go now. you are not qualified He’s too small to be in charge of a big club.

-Honestly, you received money from Futa Madrid, right?

-We lost 3 consecutive El Clásicos, were eliminated from the Champions League, and ranked 2nd in the league… Ugh. What’s left is the King’s Cup again? Do you really want to impress the king that much?

-In short, a minor specialist who is weak in big matches. It would be better for the new product if they left while there were fans who would at least applaud them.

-What is Laporta doing instead of cutting him? Too bad both of them are incompetent.

-We don’t want anything special, so please don’t come up with strange strategies and just follow the trend. If I did that, I would have won at least one El Clásico.

In fact, Barcelona was currently recording decent results.

However, Real Madrid’s performance was just absurdly good.

〈1〉Real Madrid 26 wins, 1 draw, 3 losses, 79 points, 84 points, 17 goals conceded

〈2〉Barcelona 22 wins, 6 draws, 2 losses, 72 points, 80 points, 21 losses

〈3〉Valencia 16 wins, 7 draws, 7 losses, 55 points, 45 goals Conceding 31 runs,

everything was fine.

In the player scoring rankings, Lionel Messi was ahead of Woo Ho-young by one goal with 29 goals, and in the assist rankings, Xavi Hernández was ranked first, far ahead of Alonso.

Everyone was doing what they wanted.

However, the fans’ hearts had already left due to three consecutive losses in El Clasico.

The criticism for that was something that even Guardiola fully understood.

However, there was a criticism that could never be accepted.

-Who on earth did Pep learn tactics from? How can you do nothing but that with Messi and Zlatan? Even if I do it, I will do better than that.

-It’s a lack of ability. If you can’t win the league with the best players in the world, you’re a third-rate manager. It was a stupid mistake to send Eto’o and bring in Zlatan.

-If it were me, I would have told Messi to throw the ball more. Can’t you just dribble through and score a goal? I don’t know why I keep risking my life on passing. Let’s just keep it simple! dribble! Shoot!

Criticism asking if that’s all they can do even with Messi.

Those words were the biggest cause of stress.

Actually, in a way, it was true.

Because Messi was such an outstanding player that it was a tactic in itself.

But the cowards don’t know.

The fact that Woo Ho-young is better than Messi.

‘No, even though you know, you are turning away.’

I thought that if Woo Ho-young had been given to me instead of Scolari, I would have been able to not only take first place but also win undefeated.

And that thought tormented him even more.

“Damn it.”

Everything fell apart because of one young player from Asia.

Now the hope left was as little as a little fingernail.

still.

‘I have to try until the end.’

As I walked in despair, I found myself in front of the training ground.

It was then that his eyebrows narrowed.

“What about Zlatan?”

“It’s gratuitous tardiness.”

“Damn it.”

“cheer up.”

Head coach Tito Vilanova left the room encouraging Guardiola.

To make matters worse.

Zlatan has been causing a lot of trouble lately due to position-related issues.

It was because of the battle for dominance with Messi.

What was hoped to happen between Ronaldo and Woo Ho-young was now happening in Barcelona.

“Damn it. “Nothing is going right.”

Everything was a mess.

He wanted to achieve a lot in Barcelona, but he thought he might have to look for a new job soon.

El Clasico will decide the fate of both teams.

The match that might be Guardiola’s last took place at the Santiago Bernabeu on April 10th.

There was a short interview before the game started.

Guardiola only had two minutes to prepare for the game.

Questions and answers came and went quickly.

“There’s a lot of talk about the director these days. In particular, rumors of a replacement are coming to the fore.”

“I know. I know very well how disappointed the fans were. “I have nothing to say about him.”

‘I will definitely win. There were no longer any aspirations such as ‘This time, I will win unconditionally and take down Real Madrid.’

The game hadn’t even started yet, but they already looked helpless and hopeless.

But the barrage of questions never stopped.

“Some say Barcelona’s recent slump is a problem with player selection and tactics…”

“Slump? “Is it a slump that we are on a 9-game winning streak in the league?”

“Oh, that’s not what I meant, I was talking about El Clásico. Then, can you say anything about the recent discord between Messi and Zlatan…”

Drurr.

“I’ll stop here.”

Guardiola suddenly got up from his seat and headed to the manager’s office with his head down.

The game started with about 80,000 spectators.

[Barcelona on the left announces the kickoff. The starting formation is 4-3-3. This time, Messi was placed as a central striker and Zlatan was placed as a right wing forward.]

[Messi’s scoring power is exploding due to this tactic these days. Until the middle of the season, Woo Ho-young was behind in terms of scoring power, but he has now turned the tables and is proudly taking first place.]

Meanwhile, Real Madrid came out with the 4-2-3-1 formation, just like last time.

Argen Robben, who had just returned from injury, and Douglas Costa, who performed well in the last El Clásico, appeared as left and right wingers, but what was surprising was that Joao Gourcuff played as an attacking midfielder.

[Woo Ho-young, who showed amazing activity in the AC Milan match 3 days ago, is sitting on the bench.]

[It’s impossible for your body to return to proper condition in 3 days. A player with insanely good recovery wouldn’t know that.]

7 point difference.

Since there was still room, Scolari sent out subs instead of the main players.

On the other hand, Barcelona entered the game at its best.

“I can win well enough.”

Head coach Tito Balanova showed a hopeful face.

But Guardiola didn’t think that way at all.

‘I know the team’s condition better than anyone else.’

Although it is not visible from the outside, Barcelona is currently on the verge of being wrecked.

And I had an ominous feeling that that day might be today.

“I have no choice but to pray earnestly.”

[The game is flowing quite loosely. The players’ bodies overall look very heavy. There hasn’t been a single decent opportunity.]

[Barcelona also played a fierce game with Inter four days ago, so it’s bound to happen.] Even

after 30 minutes in the first half, there wasn’t a single proper opportunity, let alone a goal.

Real Madrid’s playmaker Joao Gourcuff’s attack had no effect, and on the contrary, Barcelona’s offensive line showed a performance that was worthy of raising eyebrows.

Messi, who received a pass from Iniesta and

In the match against Inter, I was not in good condition because I put in too much effort.

The problem didn’t stop there.

[Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s expression is quite dark. [It’s a dissatisfied face.]

[I remember the report saying that Zlatan is dissatisfied with his position. Well, I completely understand. Because most of the passes are going to Lionel Messi. Moreover, isn’t he originally a central striker, not a wing forward? [It’s natural to be dissatisfied.]

Samuel Eto’o and Zlatan, who were brought in at a cost of 40 million euros, were extremely shabby.

Then, after many twists and turns, I got a chance.

[Zlatan catches the ball, which Pique hurriedly clears.]

Zlatan, who caught the ball for the first time in a while, showed dribbling like a storm as if he had been waiting for this moment and ran like an animal.

[Zlatan Ibrahimovic escapes the pressure of Fernando Gago with a rough fight!]

[Mid-distance shoo-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-uuuuuuuut!]

But that was then.

[Marcelo’s sliding tackle! We succeeded in blocking Zlatan’s shot by a narrow margin!]

[The ball was deflected and floated. Casillas catches it safely.]

“Kaaah!”

As the game did not go as planned throughout the first half, Zlatan could not stand it anymore and ended up doing something.

“Urajil!”

Pow!

“Oops!”

By hitting Marcelo, who was standing still, on the back of his head, he expressed what he had been holding in for so long.

The tangled conflict with Guardiola finally exploded.

and.

Beep –

Of course, what was given to him was a red card.

[Ah… In the end, my mentality was broken.]

[At the same time, Coach Guardiola’s face also turned red. He just closes his eyes.]

But no matter what, Zlatan just grumbled and left the stadium.

In response, Scolari seemed to have been waiting and immediately put Woo Ho-young in place of Gourcuff.

“Turn it over. “If we win today’s game, we’re almost guaranteed to win the league.”

“All right.”

The flow of the game changed drastically there.

Woo Ho-young used his numerical superiority in midfield to gain possession and based on that, he used sharp playmaking.

Guardiola, who thought it was impossible, strengthened the defense and introduced counterattack-oriented tactics, but it was not easy.

Not to be outdone, Woo Ho-young used the speed of Robben and Douglas to endlessly increase the tempo of the game.

In that way, he completely distracted the opposing defense team and changed the offensive route in an instant.

[Woo Ho-young gives the ball to Robben and enters the box. He forms a top two with Raul.]

[Roben’s diagonal cross follows immediately!]

[Hoyoung Woo rushes in recklessly!]

In front of the gate.

Hoyoung rushed towards the falling ball.

Carles Puyol hindered the movement in front, but was able to escape the pressure with an astute off-the-ball movement.

In addition, he jumped in a combative manner and showed that he was not defeated in the physical fight with Puyol.

A wild dog that looks like a bison running through a box.

It was Hoyoung, who had superior height, who won the ball competition.

Crash!

[Gooooool! Woo Ho-young’s headed goal split the goal! Real Madrid takes the lead!]

“Good.”

The first goal scored in a contest with Puyol.

However, Carles Puyol’s eyes remained firm and unwavering.

‘That’s truly incredible mental strength.’

Even though he was the captain of a rival team, he was a man with a lot to learn.

Hoyoung looked into his eyes.

[Carles Puyol]

‘Let’s score just one more goal and win.’

Now, Hoyoung is expanding into the field of defense.

[As expected, El Clásico is Woo Ho-young’s stage. The 29th goal of the season is scored here.]

[With this, he is tied with Lionel Messi, right?]

[That’s right.]

Barcelona, whose game had not been going well throughout the first half, was unable to overcome their numerical inferiority and gave up the lead.

Guardiola bowed his head.

[A devastated face.]

[I think the failure to properly manage the team led to this result.]

Even after that, Real Madrid continued to attack without hesitation.

There were times when the opportunity to score was narrowly blocked, but as long as the team was in control, there were endless opportunities.

And it was 5 minutes before the end of the first half.

[Argen Robben removes Busquets with a surprising effort!]

[Enter by folding the left side once. Alves stretches out his foot, but sticks his left foot. Shoouuuuuut!]

Pow!

[Valdes’ save!]

It was good up to that point, but the second ball that went to the other side led to an attack opportunity for Real.

Right in front of Woo Ho-young’s feet.

Crash!

[Gooooooooo!]

[As expected, Woohoyoung! He sits in a good position and then hits me like that!]

It’s a masterpiece.

Hoyoung clearly proved why he was called Barcelona’s killer.

[Woo Ho-young is already crazy, but whenever he meets Barcelona, he gets even more crazy. As coach Scolari said, he is a young man himself. With this, he surpassed Messi with his 30th goal of the season and became the top scorer.]

Lionel Messi’s face turned cold.

Now that I was missing out on not only winning the league but also being the top scorer, my mental breakdown was instantaneous.

and.

Beep-

“It’s over.”

When the first half ended 2-0, Guardiola went into the tunnel without even looking back.

In my head, I was already considering my next destination.

No matter where it was, there were only two conditions.

Either take charge of the team that Woo Ho-young belongs to, or go to a league without him.
