All Football Talents Are Mine Chapter 235

235. The final temper (1)

[〈Japan match〉 Woo Ho-young’s official MOM… thoroughly tramples Japan]

[Woo Ho-young’s official A match scores 5 goals in 2 games]

[Some radical fans in Japan riot right after the game… player Fortunately, they were unharmed]

[Keisuke Honda “The 5 goals conceded in the Korea-Japan match symbolizes the current Japanese soccer world. You need to come to your senses. If we go to the World Cup like this, we will be humiliated.”]

[Yuki Abe: “It wasn’t the soccer I knew. He is the strangest player I have ever seen. “I don’t know why it’s on a field instead of a track.”]

[Japan Football Association: “It’s an unacceptable result.”]

[‘Woo Ho-young’s compliance with the doping test requested by the Japan Football Association is nothing out of the ordinary.’]

[Germany’s A soccer expert said, “As long as Woo Ho-young is on the Korean national team, Japan will never win.”]

[〈Post-game Interview〉 Woo Ho-young “As I ran, everyone got out of the way.” It was a really fun match. “If I get the chance next time, I definitely want to play full time.”]

The day after the evaluation match against Japan.

The players were given one day of free time.

However, out of concern for terrorism by radical Japanese soccer fans, they only rested near the hotel with bodyguards.

Hoyoung also received a flurry of requests to appear on short two-hour TV shows or entertainment shows, but he turned them all down for safety reasons.

This is because I had no idea what kind of trouble I would face if I went out to such a place in such a situation.

The next event was the World Cup launch ceremony held at Sangam World Cup Stadium.

Idols and experienced singers came out and graced the stage, and later, the players and coaches entered the stage along with the introduction of the national team.

Then, time was given to each person to vote, but Coach Heo Seong-soo made the first start.

“Director Heo Seong-su will give a greeting.”

“hello. I feel encouraged that so many people came to the stadium today. thank you.”

Waaaaaaa!

The stadium was filled with intense heat.

Tens of thousands of soccer fans who came to watch the launch ceremony poured out cheers and chanted Heo Seong-su’s name.

He who completely destroyed Japan was nothing short of a hero.

Seongsu Heo continued.

“We are eager to win the World Cup in South Africa. I hope many people will support us so that we can go to a faraway country and have a great match. There will be fans who will come to South Africa on the streets, on TV, or in person, so we will definitely…”

As the atmosphere heated up, Heo Seong-su was busy pouring out his powerful voice.

But that was then.

Wow!

“…?!”

Woo Ho-young.

When Woo Ho-young’s face was briefly captured on the screen, loud cheers came out.

Didn’t do anything.

I was just standing still, but there was a huge reaction as if I had scored a goal.

This was actually a natural reaction.

The star teenagers most admire.

The favorite star of people in their 20s.

Because Woo Ho-young was ranked first in almost every category.

And Heo Seong-soo also knew that fact well, so he didn’t say much.

“thank you. We would appreciate it if you would always give passionate support, shouts, and a lot of strength to our players like you just did. “I will definitely repay you with good results.”

Clap clap clap.

After the audience applauded, captain Park Ji-seok followed up with his appearance.

“Our goal is to be the first overseas player to reach the round of 16. I think we have a certain determination and passion, so if we work hard, I think we can achieve good results. And since I am the captain, I will demonstrate some leadership skills and lead the players in a good direction.”

Next, the team’s pillars, Lee Yoon-jae, An Jeong-han, Kang Nam-il, and Lee Dong-gu, took the microphone in turn.

The microphones were moved in order of age, and at one point, a roar came out like a waterfall, as if the stadium was floating.

It was the moment when Woo Ho-young’s face was captured on the large screen.

Wow!

““Woo Ho-young! Woo Ho-young!””

The reaction was so passionate that the announcer could not proceed properly.

“haha. As expected, it is very popular. So, I can’t help but listen to the story at least once. Let’s meet Woo Ho-young, the youngest member of our national team, but a reliable leader in charge of the team’s attack. “Woo Ho-young?”

“Yes, I’m Woo Ho-young.”

Aaaaaaaaaaaah!

Indeed, the firepower of the girl fans was amazing.

Most of the fans were teenage girls who only knew the basics of soccer, but that wasn’t a problem for them.

Although I don’t know where the half line refers to, they were the ones who knew every single spot on Hoyoung’s body.

“We have very passionate fans who came all the way here, but I think you should say something first.”

“First of all, I would like to thank you very much for visiting.”

Hoyoung was so excited that it felt like chicken meat was rising through his skin, but since it was not a private concert, he ended it briefly and announced his departure.

“The final battle is three weeks away. I was able to come this far thanks to your trust and support. In fact, I joined the national team late when my seniors had confirmed their advancement to the World Cup. “First of all, I would like to say thank you to my seniors and coach for that.”

The negative views on this had almost died down due to the huge victory in the match against Japan, but it still seemed better to shake it off and move on.

And then he said:

“Our goal, as I said before, is to advance to the round of 16 for the first time in the World Cup. But that doesn’t mean it ends there. I will do my best until I collapse and achieve valuable results. thank you.”

The departure ceremony ended there.

Requests for CF filming began flooding in the very next day, but Hoyoung postponed all schedules to a later date and accelerated preparations for the World Cup.

The day we left for full-scale World Cup preparations was the next morning.

Hoyoung said his final goodbyes to his family before joining the national team.

“son. It’s okay if you don’t score a goal, so don’t get hurt. You always have to be careful during the World Cup. They say the World Cup is the tournament where injuries occur the most. Since the attention of the world’s population is focused there, there is more tension, so you have to pay more attention to relaxing your muscles than usual. Again…”

“Haha. “Someone would think that my father has been to the World Cup.”

“ha ha ha. “My heart has already gone out more than ten times.”

“Do not worry. “I know my body better than anyone else.”

“Yes, I believe you will do well this time as you have done so far.”

The rich man did not speak for long.

Don’t worry. i get it.

Those two words were enough.

“Anyway, is your father’s business going well? “Did you really build it as Woo Ho-young’s soccer classroom?”

“Since you put your name on it, a proposal has been coming in to merge the academy. “This is how I got my own chain store.”

“haha. Please take good care of the kids. Do you know anything? “If I become a coach in the future, how many people will I select from my father’s academy?”

“Oh my gosh, do you want to direct it too? “You decided to eat it all by yourself.”

“sure. “Whose son is this?”

“Hehehe. “I wonder what my son can’t do.”

The two hugged and said goodbye for the last time.

“We decided to go to South Africa anyway, so let’s go and see. “Your mother said she was coming from Paris too.”

“yes. “I won’t disappoint you.”

Then this time, my younger brother, who was in the third grade of elementary school, held out his palm.

“Don’t get hurt, brother, and do well.”

“You’re getting ready to go to your school friends and brag that you scored a goal for your brother. “If you score a goal, I’ll show you a cool celebration.”

“Oooh. “I’ll support you!”

About 3 weeks until the World Cup.

So Hoyoung left Korea and headed to Austria.

The national team was scheduled to go on a final quenching there for about two weeks.

The training atmosphere in Austria was good.

The atmosphere was somewhat free-spirited due to the overseas group having a lot of overseas experience, but An Jeong-han and Kang Nam-il worked hard to maintain discipline and calmed down the slightly heated atmosphere.

Meanwhile, the first evaluation match began.

The match was held in Kufstein, Austria, and the opponent was Belarus, who were eliminated in fourth place in the World Cup European group stage.

In the FIFA rankings, they were ranked 82nd, the weakest team in Europe, far behind Korea, which ranked 45th.

The game started with about 400 spectators.

Korea’s starting formation is 4-2-3-1.

It was a ‘side strengthening tactic’ that placed Woo Young in the attacking midfield and gave him a free roll, and although it was an unfamiliar tactic for the national team, he showed performance that exceeded expectations.

The result of the game was 2-1, with Woo Ho-young and Park Ji-seok scoring one goal each, leading the team to victory.

Even though we ended up conceding a goal at the end, it was fortunate that we won.

However, this was not the case from the fans’ perspective.

In fact, fans’ expectations were quite high as they achieved a huge victory against Japan, but since they only won by 1 point against Belarus, there were bound to be voices of concern.

The main target of fans was Park Joo-hyung, who came out on top.

[〈Belarus match〉 ‘Park Joo-hyung’ 5 shots, 0 points, disappointing goal decision… The reason is poor physical condition due to failure to adapt to jet lag]

└It’s been almost a week since I left Korea. What kind of failure to adapt to jet lag is it – is it the factory? Training in two shifts, day and night? If you want to make an excuse, you have to come

up with something plausible. └ Lee Dong-gu would be a hundred times better. Still, there is no one like Lee Dong-guo in front of the door.

└But actually, it wasn’t just the feeding, the offensive line was not good as a whole. When Woo Ho-young went out in the second half, the frame was completely broken, right? I think it would be better not to play 4-2-3-1 without Woo Ho-young.

Park Joo-hyung, who performed well in the French first division this season and showed outstanding performance in recent international matches, became a traitor due to this one game.

He never wavered because he was mentally stronger than anyone else on the national team, but in fact, he knew that he was not good at it.

But it wasn’t that he couldn’t stop.

Hoyoung, who was selected as the official man of the match that day, played until the 60th minute of the second half and made a total of 8 key passes, but when Lee Cheong-ryong overshot the girl’s shot, he was on the chopping block of controversy along with Park Joo-hyung.

[What is the problem with 16 shots and 2 points against Belarus? The consensus among experts is that if goal-making ability is not resolved, the round of 16 cannot be guaranteed.]

└Why is Korea always weak in goal-making ability?

└That is a chronic disease in our country. Do you understand now?

└I started watching soccer in the 1980s, and it was probably worse back then than it is now. I remember a game where we couldn’t score a single goal even though we had over 10 shots in front of the goal.

right.

The Korean national team has always had the problem of lack of scoring ability.

So, Heo Seong-soo had a lot of worries in the past, but now that he has a card called Woo Ho-young, his worries have eased a lot.

However, Woo Ho-young alone had limitations.

Unless you have 4 hearts, you cannot play soccer alone for more than 90 minutes.

Therefore, we conducted an intensive training program to strengthen team chemistry and organizational skills.

We poured all our efforts into preparing for the evaluation match that will be held next week.

June 3rd.

The last opponent before the World Cup was Spain, the ‘Invincible Armada’, ranked 0th and winner of the World Cup in South Africa.

Spain, led by coach Vicente del Bosque, was such a great team that it set a remarkable record of 15 consecutive wins in international matches and undefeated in 35 games.

However, today’s performance was not at its best because all players who were injured or were not in good physical condition were excluded.

Being powerful was the same in one way or another.

[Even though it is a 1.5 team, if you look at the squad, it is very strong. We came out with a 4-3-3 formation. Juan Mata Fernando Llorente Jesus Navas was used in the top three. It can be said to be a tactic that emphasizes Mata’s left-footed cross, Navas’ right-footed cross, and Llorente’s air superiority.]

[The midfield is also formidable. By hiring Busquets, Xabi Alonso, and Javi Martinez, we have built a very stable defensive line. Behind them, Capdevil’s Raul Albiol Marchena and Sergio Ramos formed a four-back line, and the goalkeeper was Liverpool’s main goalie Jose Reina.] The

intention was to play air superiority by targeting Korea’s weak side.

Accordingly, Korea came up with a 4-2-3-1 formation with Woo Ho-young as the attacking midfielder.

[Woo Ho-young took on the role of playmaker again this time. I hope he can show good play by working together with the players.]

Soon, players from both teams entered, receiving cheers from about 25,000 spectators.

And then Hoyoung’s eyes returned to the bench on the Spanish side.

‘Xavi….’

Xavi Hernández.

I couldn’t take my eyes off it earlier, but the reason was because of the talent requirement.

Surprisingly, the conditions for playing for Barcelona were completely changed.

It was a golden opportunity to obtain a much-needed weapon before going to the World Cup.
