All Football Talents Are Mine Chapter 240

240. Advance to the round of 16 of the 2010 South African World Cup? (2)

[Woo Ho-young runs from the other side to help!]

[Oh, good. We have to push forward like this.]

While Park Ji-seok and Woo Ho-young were distracted, Korea’s full-backs and midfielders, who had some free time, had already taken their positions in the box.

The number of offenses was as high as that of defense.

It was a golden opportunity.

“Woo Ho-young stop first!”

“Just take it away! “Give me a free kick!”

open space.

Papadopoulos, who had been struggling throughout the first half, rushed to cover, but ended up making a mistake.

[Woo Ho-young’s miss! Papadopoulos loses his balance!]

[Good! Scream while passing through!]

Crash!

The ball, kicked with his right foot, hit the right edge of the goal.

As expected, it was a goal-scoring ability that left no doubt today.

“downpour!”

It was South Korea’s first goal heading into the round of 16.

Beep-

[The first half ends 1-0. I think we had a lot to gain in the first half.]

[That’s right. We scored with less movement. The biggest benefit is that many players have saved their stamina. The tactic of looking for an opportunity and scoring in one shot is very difficult, but our players did it well.]

[If we save our stamina in today’s game, we can expect a good performance in the next game against Argentina. Wouldn’t it be better to go to first place in the group?]

[Hmm. I guess you’ll have to wait and see.]

Korea’s locker room after the end of the first half.

“Good job. good job. Ji-seok’s movements were good, and Hyung-pyo and Doo-rim were also good at blocking counterattacks.”

puck!

Coach Heo Seong-su, who entered the locker room, smiled brightly and punched the players in the back of the head one by one.

It was a sign of intimacy, and the stronger the player’s performance, the stronger it became.

and then.

Sigh!

“Woo Ho-young was very nice!”

“thank you.”

Heo Seong-su smiled and expressed his closeness to Ho-young.

Where on earth did this piece of luck come from?

The laughter didn’t stop.

At this rate, it seemed like it would be possible to not only make it to the round of 16, but to the round of 8 or even higher.

But it’s still too early to raise a toast.

Heo Seong-su spoke in a low voice, calming the atmosphere in the locker room.

“Our goal is the round of 16. And let’s go beyond that and surprise the people. Don’t lose focus until the end. Injuries happen in an instant. “Just like in the first half, please look after each other well.”

“All right!”

In this way, the morale of the Republic of Korea soared through the roof.

And they continued that momentum and fought fiercely in the second half.

The counterattack of Greece, which was cornered, was quite strong, but with Woo Ho-young joining the defense, they were able to put up a stable defense.

Rather, around the 40th minute of the second half.

Hoyoung’s long pass fell into the space behind the defense, giving Lee Dong-gu a solo chance.

Because the shot had too much rotation, it bounced off the goalkeeper’s save, but Park Ji-seok was able to score an additional point by completing the second ball.

And about 10 minutes later.

[yes! Game over! The game is over! It’s a historic moment. This is the first round of 16 on the road!]

[We gave a very meaningful gift to our players and the people. I am very proud.]

The players, who usually cry a lot, hugged each other and cried.

They brought the Taegeukgi, hung it on their backs, and held a ceremony where the group lay down on their stomachs on the floor.

[Advance to the round of 16 for the first time in the World Cup. We set a great record. It’s still too early, but where would you rather go, 1st place or 2nd place in the group?]

[Generally, it’s better to go up to 1st place. However, I think we will have to watch the rest of the games to see

if we can stand out.] [Then do you think it is possible for our players to advance to the quarterfinals?]

[Currently, our opponents in the round of 16 are Uruguay, Mexico, and England, but I think it is worth a shot as long as England is not the only one to get caught. […]

At the moment, nothing was certain.

What has now been confirmed is that Woo Ho-young is the sole leading scorer with 4 goals and that Korea has confirmed its advancement to the round of 16.

Thanks to this, Director Heo Seong-soo was able to sit at the press conference with a smiling face.

Next to him was Woo Ho-young, who was selected as MOM.

As a result, reporter Tae-seok Hwang, who was chasing Woo Ho-young like a ghost, was given the right to ask questions.

“First of all, congratulations to you both.”

“Thank you.”

“thank you.”

Then the question immediately followed.

“I ask Director Heo Seong-su. How do you feel now?”

Actually, I wanted to ask Hoyoung first, but out of courtesy and because this was a good picture, I had no choice.

“haha. We have advanced to the round of 16, so what do I need to say? “I am very happy and grateful that our players are doing well.”

“I see. “I would like to congratulate you once again, but since I don’t have time, I will ask Woo Ho-young right away.”

Heo Seong-su seemed to have a lot to say after that, but Hwang Tae-seok naturally changed the question.

“Woo Ho-young?”

“yes.”

“It’s Saddam, but I can’t help but talk about this today. Actually, it’s already been 8 years since I saw Woo Ho-young. In fact, at that time, Woo Ho-young was a young boy whose height reached up to my belly button. “Do you remember?”

“sure. “I’m still keeping my first article that the reporter published.”

“and.”

Hwang Tae-seok was unable to continue speaking due to the overwhelming emotion.

That’s right, before he was a reporter, he was an absolute fan of Woo Ho-young.

“Hmm. It’s touching to see such a small boy leading Real Madrid and South Korea. I just wanted to say this today as a football fan. “Woo Ho-young, fighting!”

“thank you. “I will do my best.”

It was a heart-warming night not only for soccer fans but also for Hoyoung himself.

As it is the World Cup period, various issues have emerged in the world of soccer around the world.

[Korea Football Association President Cho Jun-hyung said, “Woo Ho-young is a genius of the century whom the Korea Football Association has been closely observing since he was young. Even at this moment, the second Woo Ho-young is being discovered. Making the future of Korean soccer even brighter. Aiming to sweep the Asian Cup, Asian Games, and Olympics in the future.”]

[France’s shocking 1 draw and 1 loss in Group C… An official from the French Football Association said, “We clearly feel Zidane’s absence.”]

[Portugal against North Korea in Group G 8-0 win… Cristiano Ronaldo exploded with 4 goals and became the sole scorer with 5 goals]

[Group H won 1-0 against Chile thanks to Swiss penalty kicks… Confirmed advancement to the round of 16]

[Fifa Blatter, misjudgment controversy occurring everywhere ] Chairman dismissed the controversy, saying, “After investigating the referee who caused the controversy over misjudgment, we will make a decision to expel him from FIFA.”]

[Real Madrid’s Calderon proposed stock listing at the suggestion of the European Commission, but 100,000 socios protested… “We cannot lose the purity of the Citizens’ team. The club belongs to the citizens, not capital.”]

[Real Madrid’s New York Stock Exchange Listing Rumors Spread About Release of ‘Cristiano Ronaldo and Woo Ho-young’]

While such controversy is becoming an issue.

There were several teams that were busy.

Most of them are prestigious clubs belonging to the English Premier League (EPL).

For example, Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City have begun work to bring in Woo Ho-young in earnest.

In fact, since they only had to pay the contract penalty for Ho-Young Woo, even if Calderon expressed his intention to refuse, he could take him at a low price as long as he was a good player.

As AC Milan suggested, it would have been best to bundle him with another player and put in a ‘buyback clause’, but since the player himself said he didn’t like it, there was nothing he could do.

There was only one team left.

Manchester City is ruled by Middle Eastern capital.

They put a buy-back clause on Ho-Young Woo and asked them to help him choose Manchester City as they would buy other players at the same time.

As of now, it was also the team that Calderon wanted the most.

If Hoyoung stays at Manchester City for one season, there will be no chance of facing him in the Champions League.

This is because Manchester City was scheduled to participate in the Europa League, not the Champions League.

In addition, it was a huge benefit to be able to form a close relationship with Prince Mansour, the owner of Manchester City, through this deal.

That is why Calderon is currently conducting priority negotiations with Manchester City.

But it didn’t end there.

Not long ago, Bayern Munich, which was pursuing a partnership project with Middle Eastern capital, came to us with a bundle of money beyond imagination.

They also plan to recruit other players, including Argentine Robben, so they asked them to actively help Ho-Young Woo move to Bayern Munich.

But in reality, it was all pointless.

No matter what Real Madrid says, the decision is up to Hoyoung anyway.

The key was what offer the club could make for Hoyoung.

South Africa at that time.

With all three matches in Group A completed, the number of teams advancing to the round of 16 has increased by two.

The main characters were Mexico, which advanced to first place in the group, and Uruguay, which advanced to second place in the group.

England, unable to adapt to the highlands, Jabulani and Vuvuzela, went home suffering a crushing defeat.

South Korea coach Heo Seong-soo was troubled.

“Mexico is better than Uruguay, but…”

If they take first or second place in their group or advance to the quarterfinals, they will face one of the following teams: the United States, France, Ghana, or Germany.

As of now, I couldn’t be sure of anything.

“This is why I don’t like the group in front.”

“Now that things are like this, I think it would be better to move up to second place with peace of mind, right? To be honest, if you want to be in first place, you have to beat Argentina because of the goal difference, but that’s not possible…”

The chances were low.

Moreover, the physical burden on the players was severe.

Woo Ho-young was still energetic, but the first-team players, who ran around like crazy in games 1 and 2, needed to rest.

“Even if we get a draw, we will always be in second place due to goal difference. In that case, I think it would be better to play comfortably.”

The head coach’s words were closest to the answer.

“Then what did Woo Ho-young say?”

“I want to run. It’s not that they’re not, but right now, Messi and Ronaldo are going back and forth over who should be the top scorer. It seemed like he was determined to win the Ballon d’Or this time. Looking at the atmosphere, I think Messi will probably play as a starter.”

“okay. Then we can’t just sit still. “Let’s move Hoyoung to the front line and make An Jeonghan a chance maker.”

In this game, it didn’t really matter what the outcome was.

But it was a big match in a different sense.

It was a scoring match between Woo Ho-young and Lionel Messi.

Game day came quickly.

Game day.

“nice!”

“nice. “I guess it’s worth seeing?”

“It’s going to be a really good day today.”

“I never thought I would see a game like this at the World Cup in my lifetime.”

When the player list was announced, there was an enthusiastic response from the audience.

Lionel Messi and Woo Ho-young, who everyone expected, were both included in the starting lineup.

And 30 minutes before the game.

It was around the time when players were pouring out of the stadium and warming up.

It wasn’t just the audience who were excited about Hoyoung’s participation.

A thick beard and protruding belly fat.

Although he is now an old man, he is still a man whose name alone gives a sense of dignity.

“Nice to meet you.”

He personally came to see Hoyoung while he was training and shook his hand. He is a legend among legends who has achieved numerous achievements through his own efforts, including winning the World Cup and UEFA Europa League title.

He is now the coach of Argentina, but was once a legend in the soccer world.
