44th minute of the
first half of the Champions League second final (4) .
““Woooooooooooo!””
A play that Hoyoung personally created from start to finish.
And an incredible finish.
The stadium was on the verge of rioting due to the amazing spectacle.
Some spectators were so excited that they even threw away the chicken they were eating.
There were also quite a few rioters who left the stands and tried to enter the ground.
Of course, the stadium was prepared, but chaos broke out as unexpected events occurred in various places.
“Senorita!”
“Senorita ooh!”
Some spectators were so excited they must have been drunk that they took off their pants and twitched their buttocks, while others were crying and talking on the phone.
It was only the 45th minute, but Real Madrid’s fans had already decided that they would win the game.
Everyone shouted with one heart and one voice.
“¡Vamos!”
“WHY!”
“¡Vamos!”
“WHY!”
“¡Vamos!”
“WHY!”
“Woooooooooooooo!”
Standing in front of the stands, Hoyoung received congratulations from Higuain Alonso Ronaldo and celebrated the goal together.
“yes!”
“It was a great shot. “You did very well.”
“Nice shooting. it was good.”
“Thanks to everyone. thank you.”
In fact, it was Hoyoung’s goal alone, but thanks to the other players’ good movement, he was able to open up space and connect with a shot.
Hoyoung, who personally led the play, knew this better than anyone else.
“Some crazy guy put that in there. Do you have radar on your feet? It’s the best, really. you are crazy You’re crazy! Just go crazy for another 45 minutes. okay?”
“Let’s all go crazy together.”
Hoyoung clashed heads with Ramos and burned his will.
The first half ended there.
“oh my god.”
Halftime.
Mourinho walked quickly into the coach’s office and covered his head.
Then I opened the note with a blank expression.
It was a first half record written by the technical team for 45 minutes.
‘That doesn’t make sense.’
I couldn’t believe it.
No, I didn’t want to believe it.
I wanted to deny the fact that it was a first half where only Woo Ho-young was visible.
We prepared so many things, but all we showed was the first 20 minutes.
I discussed tactics with the coaches who came in later, but there was no clear answer.
“But the biggest problem above all else is the morale of the players.”
“What is the atmosphere in the locker room?”
“Zanetti is pushing the players and lifting the mood, but everyone is clearly tired. “Psychologically.”
“I understand. “I’ll give it a go.”
The locker room we eventually arrived at was literally a sight to behold.
Captain Zanetti was screaming and pointing out mistakes made in the first half, but the other players were unable to say anything.
It seemed like they needed time.
‘I’ll have to go in in a moment.’
As Mourinho considers the role of captain very important, he did not go inside but waited outside the door, giving up time to Zanetti.
It was two minutes later that Mourinho entered the locker room.
“I’m not here to criticize you. I understand that you guys played hard enough. It’s just that I wasn’t able to properly demonstrate what I had trained because of the ridiculous situation. So everyone, spread your shoulders and listen.”
“yes.”
“good. Don’t think we’ll lose. If we follow the strategy we have prepared, we can score three goals in 45 minutes. Don’t be pressed for time and play the way you want. “If you are truly part of Inter, you must do so.”
Mourinho gave a firm look without blinking.
“We go all the way. “Crepi il lupo.”
“Crepi il lupo!”
After finishing the tactical talk, Mourinho called a player to a corner.
“Marco.”
“yes.”
It was Marco Matezzari, a central defender infamous for his killer tackles.
“Be prepared. “I will see an opportunity and put you in.”
“Just leave it to me.”
One way or another, if you can’t stop Woo Ho-young, it would be better to use another method altogether.
That was Mourinho’s last hidden card.
Beep!
[Hoyoung Woo’s 8th goal in the Champions League puts Real Madrid ahead 2-0. The second half begins.]
[That’s right. Once again, I think it’s great. With this, Ho-Young Woo is tied for the lead with Bayern Munich’s Ivica Oli? and Barcelona’s Lionel Messi. If this continues, they can win the Golden Shoe for two consecutive seasons.]
In the Champions League, if the scoring record is the same, the award is shared regardless of playing time.
In other words, unless Diego Milito, who ranked 4th in scoring record, achieved a hat trick, Hoyoung’s award as the top scorer was confirmed.
Today, Hoyoung was able to continue the record set by Van Nistelrooy, who was the top scorer for two consecutive seasons seven years ago.
Then, the 60 minutes of the second half were about to pass.
[Diego Milito runs forward while passing the ball to Sneijder behind him. Inter’s players are raising the line and launching extreme attacks.]
[That means they are in a hurry.]
Cambiasso and Zanetti exchanged the ball and built up the build-up.
Sneijder, who received the ball when Real Madrid’s pressure relaxed, attempted playmaking to keep up with Hoyoung.
However, unlike Hoyoung, who was relaxed, he had no leisure.
As I became impatient, I was unable to display my skills properly.
‘shit. ‘There’s not enough time.’
[Sneijder searches for space, but… I don’t know. There is no place to give it. First of all, Inter has moved forward as it should, but it doesn’t seem to have been properly organized.]
[The attackers’ movements are overlapping. Inter’s players are getting impatient. You can’t be pressed for time.]
[That’s right. But actually, it’s not as easy as it sounds. With the Champions League title at stake, it will be quite a burden mentally.]
Ahead of this game, all the experts said the same thing.
-This final is not only a battle of heads between Scolari and Mourinho, but also a battle between Woo Ho-young and Sneijder. It is clear that the game will be decided based on the playmaking of the two players in charge of each team’s two legs. If either Hoyoung Woo or Sneijder are bad, that player’s team will lose.
It was literally like that.
Contrary to Woo Ho-young, Sneijder was unable to perform at all and as a result, Inter was losing.
It was because Inter did not play well.
We had to take it slow, but Real Madrid wouldn’t allow it.
I couldn’t delay any longer.
‘I can’t help it. I have no choice but to give it a try first.’
Instead of making a key pass, Sneijder distributed the ball to the front.
[Ball falling to the side. Samuel Eto’o receives it. It goes directly into the center!]
[At the same time, Goran Pandev penetrates from the left!]
[The number of attacks in the box increases in an instant!]
Although this type of attack was made, Real Madrid’s defensive formation was already in place.
It was quite sharp, but not very threatening.
[It was blocked by Samuel Eto’o Arbeloa.]
[The ball flowed straight to the center of the box.]
I wondered if the first attack in a while would be blocked like this.
but.
widely.
Diego Milito, the best finisher from Argentina.
He almost always scores a goal when he gets the chance, and he shoots very sharply even in situations where there is no angle.
Unfortunately, it did not result in a goal because Casillas’ reaction speed was unrealistic.
Pow!
“Damn it!”
[The ball is deflected after being hit by Casillas’ foot. It goes out as is. A corner kick is awarded to Inter. It was a great save.]
[In addition, Raul Albiol’s defensive coordination was also excellent. It can be seen that the fact that the players in the box narrowed the shooting angle as much as possible helped Casillas make a miraculous save.]
After the second half.
The game had been boring for a long time because Real Madrid was only playing defense, but now it was starting to look a bit like the finals.
Neutral fans roared as the game became more spectacular.
[Meanwhile, Sneijder prepares for a corner kick. This is the first opportunity I’ve had in a long time, so I’ll have to work hard.]
[That’s right. After this corner kick, I don’t know when another opportunity will come. Because the offensive line, including Woo Ho-young, are fully involved in the defense.]
“Huh.”
Sneijder prepared for the corner kick with all his concentration.
It was a golden opportunity that must be succeeded.
And this time I was confident.
‘I can fit enough.’
Although they had Raul Albiol, who was over 190 centimeters tall, and Pepe, who was strong in the air, Inter had Diego Milito.
Although he was not an outstanding header himself, his amazing headed goals using excellent positioning were his trademark that everyone knew about.
‘can do.’
Yes, it was worth a try.
The signal has already been exchanged.
The idea was to deceive the defenders and Casillas by winding wide from the outside to the inside.
It was this very moment.
Cough!
[A corner kick that curves sharply towards the center of the goal post!]
[Diego Milito is moving!]
Excellent attack positioning ability and goal-making ability.
That was Diego Milito’s weapon that made defenders tremble.
This season alone, 15% of goals were scored through headings.
‘come.’
At that moment, Milito’s eyes narrowed.
At the same time, I jumped up as hard as I could.
And indeed, he succeeded in taking a better position than Pepe.
However, the problem was that Sneijder’s corner kick did not go over there.
widely!
[Woo Ho-young’s header!]
[The ball falls far forward. Xabi Alonso catches it right away.]
[Xabi Alonso turns the ball safely.]
Perfect defense.
Hoyoung jumped up with decent jumping ability and cleared the ball before it was passed to Milito.
With that one header, the crisis was completely resolved and Inter’s attacking chance was wasted.
[great. As if he knew the trajectory of the ball, he moved quickly and took a better position than Diego Milito.]
[It was a fantastic defensive positioning. If it weren’t for Woo Ho-young, it would have been dangerous.]
It was a wonder play created by the synergy of judgment, prediction, and excellent defensive positioning ability.
In addition, my condition was very good today.
It was thanks to Guti’s talent called ‘Condition of the Day (U)’ that he acquired at the close of La Liga.
It was a talent that was not a bad thing to have.
It was a unique talent that sometimes made his physical condition go up drastically on certain days without even realizing it.
It was never like there were ups and downs.
It just feels like a plus alpha to my existing skills.
Those were the talents that brought today’s Inter to its knees.
“Haa….”
Sneijder, who had blown away a golden opportunity, lost his temper and lowered his head.
Still, I couldn’t sit down because the game wasn’t over yet, but my heart was already lying on the floor.
‘Damn it. What on earth happened?’
Woo Ho-young, who was a colleague until last year, has turned into a monster beyond imagination and has returned as an enemy.
He was involved not only in attack but also defense, putting Inter in a corner.
However, this does not mean that I lack physical strength.
No, if you look at his recent activity level, it was actually at a phenomenal level.
It feels like experiencing surrealism.
I couldn’t see any way to overcome this difficulty.
But that was then.
[OUT 25. Walter Samuel]
[IN 23. Marco Materazzi]
Inter’s player replacement began to create a tense atmosphere in the stadium.
