All Football Talents Are Mine Chapter 258

258. Return of a legend (1)

[On the 18th, Real Madrid legends Raul González and Guti terminated their contracts with the club and became free agents (FA).

Raul González is a legendary Los Blancos player who scored 318 points in 732 appearances for Real Madrid. But his ending was very sad. The release of this legendary player was attended only by fellow players and fans, and the club’s board of directors showed a cold response.

According to media reports, Raul González reportedly left the club of his own volition despite manager Scolari’s dissuasion.

There is an interpretation that this is a rebellion against President Calderon’s weekly wage policy, which has been expressed dissatisfaction since last season.

Guthi is also in the same position. He joined Real Madrid at the age of 9 and played in a total of 528 games, but could not hide his dissatisfaction, saying, “I couldn’t even exchange a word of greeting with President Calderon.”]

President Calderon’s weekly salary system is determined solely by ability.

In other words, it meant that the ‘symbolism’ of Raul or Guti was not treated at all.

As a result, dissatisfaction continued to build and eventually exploded, leading to a situation in which he left the club.

And the second news was about Barcelona.

[FC Barcelona appoints José Mourinho as Guardiola’s successor]

Huge news.

Fans responded in disbelief.

This is because Mourinho did not have a good relationship with Barcelona’s leadership.

The war of words with Barcelona legend Johan Cruyff was a very famous anecdote, and it was also known to everyone that President Laporta was uncomfortable with Mourinho.

This was due to the fear that Mourinho’s harsh and straightforward behavior would take over Barcelona’s leadership.

Moreover, Barcelona is a club that pursues Johan Cruyff’s ‘beautiful football’.

In the meantime, Mourinho, who uses ‘thoroughly realistic soccer’, arrived in Barcelona, which was a shock to the fans.

Nevertheless, there was a good reason why Chairman Laporta appointed Mourinho by giving him an annual salary of 14 billion won.

Among the trophies that Barcelona has lifted over the past four years, there was none that it could proudly present.

Recruiting championship contractor Mourinho was also for the sake of winning trophies.

During this process, Johan Cruyff was furious and strongly opposed it, but the club’s management, including Laporta, did not give up their will.

The same goes for fans.

Any coach would be fine as long as we could win.

In particular, there was an expectation that Mourinho, the champion of the championship, would be able to give Barcelona the championship.

Isn’t this a coach who has already proven his skills with numerous trophies?

And indeed, Mourinho lived up to his reputation and displayed his capabilities to the fullest as soon as he took charge of Barcelona.

As soon as we took control of the team, we started recruiting players.

As a result, Angel Di Maria Mesut, Ozil, Sami Khedira, Alexis Sanchez, Javier Mascherano, and David Villa were considered for recruitment, but as there was not enough ammunition, they had to recruit the resources they needed right away.

The first is David Villa, who will fill in the absence of Zlatan and Henry.

The second was Argentina’s Angel Di Maria.

And finally, in order to make a successful debut, he went through rigorous training for the final time.

His Spanish debut was scheduled to take place at the Santiago Bernabeu on the 14th of next month.

Anyway, Hoyoung’s July was peaceful.

Hoyoung just enjoyed a leisurely vacation on the island that Mansour had lent the entire island to.

Grandpa and Grandma were also invited and had a great time.

“You are all doing well at your old age thanks to your grandson. Every day, I eat meals prepared by others, sleep in nice places, and come out and splash in the water without any worries. “I have no choice but to die now.”

“grandma. “You still corrected it.”

“Laughs. It’s 100 years old, but I’m already old, so I’m leaving home. “I think your grandmother is going to die quickly.”

Kim Jae-gyeom, who was splashing in the water next to him, smiled brightly.

Compared to before entering the island, his face became noticeably brighter.

“How is your grandfather? “Is it worth it?”

“The sky is clear, the sea smells good, and there is no other paradise. The accommodation is nice and the staff are friendly. When will we live and experience such treatment? “It feels like I have become an emperor.”

“haha. Even if you return to land, just contact us at any time and the staff will take care of taking you home. If you want to enjoy the sea breeze, please contact me anytime.”

“Whenever?”

“Mansour is thinking of purchasing the entire island to use as a personal resort. So, they say only people who are close friends will be allowed in.”

“Of all businesses, the oil business is the best.”

However, Lee Moon-hee had been looking regretful for some reason ever since.

“Grandma, what are you worried about?”

“It reminds me of Monica. “It would have been nice to have Monica in such a nice place.”

This is Monica, who has been visiting Hoyoung’s house often for the past two years and has become close with the couple.

Kim Jae-gyeom and Lee Moon-hee were disappointed that Monica could not come with them.

In fact, it was the same for Hoyoung.

I wanted to invite Monica and enjoy the vacation together.

But that wasn’t possible because Monica had now returned to Brazil to prepare for the competition.

It was to participate in the 30th World Rhythmic Gymnastics Championships to be held in Moscow, Russia.

“Next time you call me, please tell me to come back healthy.”

“And Hoyoung, take care of yourself too.”

“sure.”

This off-season I focused on recovery and rested well.

Yoga and physical therapy were the basics, and I also received psychotherapy to prepare fully.

The break continued beyond July.

He did not participate in the US tour planned for early August and focused only on rest.

Concerns were raised from some quarters regarding this.

[No news from Woo Ho-young for 3 weeks… Loss of goals after the World Cup? Since the Ballon d’Or is guaranteed anyway, there are many opinions that we should take it easy…]

[This is interpreted to mean that we can beat Barcelona even without D-10 training until the Supercopa de España…]

Are you wondering if you have become lazy? Speculative articles like this were plastered online.

But it was all nonsense.

There is only one reason why Hoyoung is taking a break.

It was for a better future.

Rest was so important that one athlete once said, ‘Rest is also an important training process.’

And there was one thing I definitely felt while taking a break.

My body is actually improving.

It felt like the fatigue that had accumulated so far was slowly dissipating.

My condition was improving day by day.

I felt like I could show a good performance in the upcoming Spercopa de España.

The Supercopa de Espana is a competition between the previous year’s La Liga champion and the King’s Cup champion.

The first leg was held at Santiago Bernabeu, Real Madrid’s home stadium.

It was 9:30 pm on Saturday, August 14th.

““Madrid!””

““De Raul!””

““Madrid!””

““De Guti!””

The 80,000 spectators who visited the stadium gathered together and shouted the names of Raul González and Guti.

The card section created the names ‘Raul’ and ‘Guti’, and large uniform-shaped flags with the numbers 7 and 14 on them covered the stands.

It was their way of honoring the farewell of legends.

[July was a month full of trouble and controversy. You could say that the spirit and soul of Real Madrid is missing. Because of this, it is said that there has been an increase in the number of sociopaths who are opposed to Calderon’s policies recently, right?]

[That’s right. But the good news is that the burden of debt has been greatly alleviated. In any case, Calderon brought the team the Champions League trophy and achieved the great feat of winning four consecutive league titles. In this situation, I see no reason for his position to be shaken. If things continue like this, re-election will not be a problem.]

Casillas took the place of the departed captain.

The team was led by Sergio Ramos as the vice-captain, Woo Ho-young as the third captain, and Marcelo as the fourth captain.

[I wonder what Real Madrid will look like.]

[Yes. And above all, I am looking forward to whether Woo Ho-young, who has had enough rest, will be able to show the same performance he showed in the World Cup here.]

[The moment you speak, players from both teams enter.]

Players from both teams enter the stadium with enthusiastic cheers. I entered.

Hoyoung was also a starter.

[Real Madrid has used a 4-2-3-1 formation. On the other hand, Barcelona came out with 4-3-3. These are two teams with completely different tactical styles.]

[That’s right. The tactical styles of Scolari and Mourinho are clearly different. Although it is similar to being based on a strong defense, there is a clear difference in attack.]

Just like last season, Coach Scolari used Ho-Young Woo as an attacking midfielder and gave him a free role at the same time.

Everything was a tactic that depended on Hoyoung’s game management.

[But Barcelona’s momentum is not easy.]

[There was an opinion that the team’s atmosphere changed a lot when Coach Mourinho took over. So far, it’s showing good performance.]

3 minutes in the first half.

Barcelona, who took the lead, lowered the entire line and played the game focusing on flank penetration.

A lot of the ball was flowing to Angel Di Maria, who rose to stardom by scoring 3 goals and 1 assist in this World Cup.

It was an offensive development in which Xavi and Iniesta took charge of the build-up and Di Maria distributed the ball through penetration and passes, creating chances for Messi and Villa.

In terms of cross-section, it was not much different from the offensive tactics pursued by Guardiola.

[Marcelo approaches Angel Di Maria. But I’m still trying to break through!]

[Ah! Brilliant dribbling! We dig right in!]

[Pass straight to Messi!]

Tak!

Pepe’s sliding tackle at the crucial moment saved Real Madrid from danger.

[They blocked me right away. Pepe read the pass path well.]

[That’s right. It may be disappointing for Di Maria, but he did well enough. True to his nickname, the Angel of Death, he displayed fierce and cruel dribbling. To put Marcelo, who had been at Real Madrid for four years, on his knees like this all at once.]

[This seems to show that he is a World Cup star. If he continues like this, he could have an impressive debut.]

Angel Di Maria.

He had a dream.

Destroying the world’s best club, Real Madrid.

I had a grand dream of breaking down their stronghold and soaring high.

Right in Barcelona.

‘Good.’

I had a feeling that Di Maria could make an impressive debut.

The actual game content was also good.

Although the booing from the home crowd was quite annoying, the flow of the game was good.

but.

widely!
