(You can covet one talent when you meet the conditions.)

( You can acquire some of the senses when you covet a T-rank (Title). However, you must be over 18 years of age to covet it.)

(For S-tiers and higher, you can covet it by achieving hidden conditions.)

(Condition 1: In national competitions. Play together)

(Condition 2: Record attack points in this match)

(Condition 3: Make more key passes than Xavi Hernández)

(Condition 4: Be selected as official man of the match in this match)

(Hidden condition: At least 1 talent (Open if desired)

Indeed, the talent was at a level that would perfectly fit the saying that now is the prime time.

Moreover, conditions had changed.

Even without wearing a Barcelona uniform, he was able to fully explore his talent.

That means Iniesta’s talent is also possible.

Because I was so excited, sweat was running down my forehead.

Although he didn’t play in today’s game due to injury, he would be available whenever the opportunity arises.

‘First of all, let’s start with Xavi’s talent today.’

Pathmaster’s vision.

His teammates said that Xavi seemed to have his own way of passing.

His vision, which no one else in the world has, allows him to make amazing passes, release incredible pressure, and get the entire team moving.

No matter how messed up the organizational skills are, they are refined under his footsteps.

It was a talent that must be coveted before going to the World Cup.

‘If it comes out as a replacement, I can definitely covet it.’

After finishing cleaning up, Hoyoung looked away from the bench.

Then he shook hands with the Spanish players wearing navy blue uniforms.

Although it was a simple evaluation match, the atmosphere was by no means light.

However, the mood brightened when I shook hands with Hoyoung.

“It’s different seeing it from a place like this, isn’t it? “Don’t be too upset if you lose big.”

“It won’t be easy.”

“ha ha ha.”

Starting with Ramos, Raul Albiol, Alonso Mata, etc…

Everyone except Reina was playing in Spain, so Hoyoung was close to everyone.

So there were parts where I felt a little more nervous than usual.

Because they knew Hoyoung better than anyone else.

And the game started right away.

[The game has started. The lead goes to Spain on the left. Xabi Alonso receives the ball and passes it to Mata on the left.]

[Spain is strong from the start. I think they came out with the intention of boosting the team’s morale ahead of the World Cup.]

As expected, Spain was Spain.

Although it was a 1.5 group, it was so strong that it could not be compared to Korea’s first group.

The Busquets-Xabi Alonso-Javi Martinez line, which completely dominated the midfield, completely suffocated Ki Sung-ryong and Kim Jung-hu.

At the front line, Fernando Llorente, who is 195 centimeters tall, wandered inside the box and easily received crosses from Jesus Navas and Juan Mata.

This was not an opponent that Lee Jong-soo and Jo Yeon-hyung could easily block with their physical strength and skills.

Moreover, Llorente, who was competing with Torres and Villa for the starting position, did his best to solidify his position.

Then goals came in every 20 minutes.

[Damn, the real problem wasn’t the scoring ability, but the defense. What the heck is this other than a scarecrow?]

└The opponent is Spain. You have to hope for what you want. This isn’t a defense issue, it’s a level issue. We’re not aiming to go to the World Cup and win, right?

└But Spain is 1.5?

└Would 14k gold be more expensive or top-grade copper? Even if you mess around, it will make a difference.

The opinions of netizens watching the game in real time were usually divided as follows.

Actually, all opinions made sense.

However, Coach Del Bosque was concerned about players’ injuries, so he sent out the 1.5 team, but he never ordered them to play rashly.

If it had been like an ordinary Asian team instead of Korea, it might have been like that.

But Korea was different.

No, Woo Ho-young was different.

I didn’t know that if I looked down on it and played haphazardly, I might lose the game.

It is only a matter of time before the momentum breaks down.

That was something that had to be avoided.

So Del Bosque gave this instruction to his players before the game started:

-Korea is by no means an easy opponent. No, such a one-man team is actually more difficult. However, if you know how to deal with them, you can easily stop a one-man team. Don’t panic, you only have to stop one person. If we want to win the World Cup by beating Italy, Germany, and Brazil, we will have to easily defeat Korea. Otherwise, get ready to pack.

Real Madrid’s Woo Ho-young and Korea’s Woo Ho-young are definitely different.

Therefore, I thought that if I aimed well at that point, I would be able to achieve my goal.

The goal was not victory.

It was a ‘great victory’.

As a result, Spain went into the first half with a 2-0 lead thanks to goals from Llorente and Navas.

And if they scored just one more goal, they were planning to go out of their way to maintain the players’ stamina in the second half of the game.

That’s how the second half began.

[The second half has begun. This time Spain is attacking from the right. Fernando Torres turning the ball to the back.]

[Fernando Torres, who replaced Llorente, moves to the front line. It seems that the intention is to attempt line breaking through kill passes.]

[Now that I think about it, there have been a lot of changes in Spain’s formation.]

With the introduction of David Silva and Xavi Hernández in midfield, the attacking style has changed.

It was now on the ground, not in the air.

[Then who is the player we should pay attention to?]

[Although all of the players substituted on the pitch are world-class players, we should of course be most careful about Xavi Hernández. Isn’t he the master of the unrivaled kill pass?]

‘It’s finally come out.’

This laid the foundation for Xavi’s talent to be explored.

However, it was not possible to only focus on passing.

First of all, it was important to do my best in the game.

‘I need to be more involved in the midfield. Now that we have our own money, if we don’t put pressure on them properly, we could lose badly.’

At that moment, Hoyoung raised his arm and sent a signal to Park Ji-seok.

Afterwards, the OK sign came back and Hoyoung went down to midfield.

Less than five minutes later, the midfield caught fire.

Woo Ho-young and Ki Sung-ryong put strong pressure on Xavi Hernández and prevented him from playing fully as much as possible.

With his ability to escape and press, he gradually gained space in the back fight and soon succeeded in raising his market share to 40%.

Compared to the first half, which was 8-2, the situation was definitely improved.

[The game is getting better with Woo Ho-young joining the midfield and defense. Still, with the World Cup coming up, it would be better not to overexert

yourself.] [The player knows his body better than anyone else. Moreover, it was Woo Ho-young who played 52 games for Real Madrid last season. He is a player who takes great care of himself so that there is no need to worry in that regard.]

Coach Del Bosque’s expression gradually darkened.

This is because with Woo Ho-young joining the midfield, ball possession has decreased significantly.

At this rate, we could not be sure of a 2-point victory, let alone a big win.

Del Bosque’s soccer philosophy that ‘ball possession equals scoring’ was shaking.

[South Korea, which caught the ball, is starting to have more space in terms of space.]

[But Capdevil is making a surprise attack behind Kim Jung-hoo! As soon as he wins the ball, he looks at Xavi Hernández and passes it!]

At that moment, the entire Spanish formation stood up as if they had been waiting.

This is because it was a very good situation to counterattack while exchanging tiki-taka.

It was one of Del Bosque’s favorite patterns.

but.

Percussion!

A situation that could have led to a scoring opportunity for Spain was helplessly nullified.

And the ball passed back to the Korean camp.

[Woo Ho-young’s pass is blocked! Runs at incredible speed and breaks up the pass. It was good!]

[And a pass that leads straight to the back right. Cha Doo-rim catches it.]

Hoyoung, who got the ball for the first time in a while, passed backwards to see an opportunity.

And at that moment, as soon as Cha Doo-rim received the ball, he rushed forward.

[Ahhh! Cha Doo-rim! Cha Doo-rim starts running!]

[Cha Doo-rim! Just like that, I beat Juan Mata!]

I ran like crazy in a straight line and Juan Mata fell.

Indeed, Cha Doo-rim was physically great.

“Whoa whoa.”

Around the 70th minute of the second half.

Cha Doo-rim ran with all his might.

Isn’t it possible to rely on the youngest for everything?

Still, I went forward in hopes of being of some help.

Thanks to this, a gap opened up and an opportunity arose.

[A fierce battle for the ball breaks out. Cha Doo-rim and Carlos Marchena are competing!]

[Ah! The ball is falling out. It flows straight to the center!]

“!”

With the ball between them, Ho-Young Woo and Xabi Alonso ran at the same time.

The two knew each other well.

Xabi Alonso, who predicted that he would lose even if he competed, used man-to-man defense instead of excessive competition for the ball.

However, as soon as Hoyoung received the ball, he passed it to Park Ji-seok, who was digging in from the left corner.

widely!

[Woo Ho-young’s key pass!]

[This time, it falls into the back space on the left side! We should make use of this opportunity!]

When Sergio Ramos stepped forward, Park Ji-seok threw a ground ball cross instead of making an unreasonable breakthrough.

A fierce fight broke out in the center.

However, Hoyoung nimblely squeezed between Marchena and Raul Albiol and placed his foot on the edge of the ball.

It was immediately after that that the net shook.

Crash!

[Gooooo! Woo Ho-young’s fantastic volley! I just put it in the net!]

[Wow, it goes in. It was a great breath. With this level of organization, no matter what team comes, we can perform well!]

[A goal is a goal, but more than anything, I learned a valuable lesson. When dealing with a team with a strong midfield, Woo Ho-young should be involved in the midfield.]

Del Bosque, who had been beaten, changed his mind and strengthened his defense.

After that, the game went loose as Spain walked and locked it up.

South Korea also did not waste too much physical strength and made a promise to the future.

The game ended there.

Beep!

2 to 1.

Although it ended in Spain’s victory, it was still a game that showed Korea’s potential.

And that evening.

[〈Spain match〉 Woo Ho-young was selected as the official man of the match… He made 12 key passes in 90 minutes, three times ahead of Xavi Hernández, who played for 45 minutes… In addition, he made 3 passes and was first in activity, etc.]

MOM is generally on the winning team. It comes out.

There are cases where a player is selected from a losing team, but this is only possible if the player performs overwhelmingly over the players from the winning team.

Hoyoung was such a case.

And in return, he received the talent he had dreamed of.

[I crave the Path Master’s vision (SU).]

[It takes 120 days → 7 days to fully acquire the talent. You cannot covet other talents for 7 days.]

If we meet in the 3rd or 4th place match, semifinals, or final, next time we can covet even the talent of passing.

And Hoyoung began to feel a surprising change on June 10th, when he completely coveted the ‘Passmaster’s vision.’

It was two days before the first round of Group B of the World Cup in South Africa.

And the very next day.

Finally, the 2010 World Cup in South Africa began.

The first match was the opening match between South Africa and England.

The result was a 1-1 draw.

The first day went by smoothly as the match between Uruguay and Mexico that followed immediately ended in a 1-1 draw.
