281. Woo Ho-young calls (1)
[The game ends. 3-2 Manchester City wins 3 points thanks to Woo Young’s multiple goals. With this, we have jumped back to 4th place in the league.]
[Ah, how long has it been since then? After about 7 years, Manchester City finally achieved it.]
The team’s first win after the transfer.
Hoyoung felt strange.
The thing they were wearing was a light blue uniform, but I didn’t know why they thought of Madrid fans at this moment.
‘Not yet…’
I felt like I needed time to accept the breakup and meeting.
“after!”
This feeling of not being happy even if you win.
Frustration filled my heart.
But that was then.
“We’ve got Young!”
“Young! Young! Young!”
“And he is Hero Hero!”
“Citizen’s Hero!”
Seeing about 2,000 citizens cheering passionately for him in the corner, he felt a little at ease and his body felt at ease.
Moreover, there was still a long time left to rejoice.
Hoyoung achieved the most satisfactory conditions in today’s game and received a corresponding reward.
[I want the wild horse’s hit and run (SU).]
[The wild horse’s hit and run (SU) and the hit and run (W+), which are close to the magic, have been successfully combined.] [The
hit and run, which is close to the magic (W+2)↑]
It only takes two days to fully bring in the talent.
It was the effect of versatility (W+3) that achieved outstanding growth.
Next it was Modric’s turn.
[The talent vessel is currently full. A near-miracle hit and run (2 days) is waiting.]
[2 days later, Mozart’s forward playmaking (U) is on the way.]
It was no exaggeration to say that Tottenham had thus acquired the most important talents they could covet.
It was around this time that I coveted both of their talents.
“zero?”
“Hey…”
Modric and Bale came almost at the same time and held out their hands.
What they have in common is that they are both already topless.
“Haha….”
“Oh my.”
They also smiled shyly, as if they thought the situation was funny.
3 to 2.
Even though we lost the game, the content of the game was very good.
It was a valuable game in which the spectators enjoyed the game and the players had a special experience.
That’s why we were able to finish on a positive note even though we lost the game.
“But maybe it’s good?”
“Hmm…”
The two looked embarrassed.
But Hoyoung said as if there was no problem.
“Come to the Vail locker room. “You too, Modric.”
What is there to be surprised about?
All you have to do is give them the uniform they wore in the first half.
This was something I had already experienced several times.
Hoyoung casually shook hands and happily returned to the locker room to exchange uniforms.
But this time, another customer came to visit Hoyoung.
“As expected, you did not disappoint my expectations.”
Even though he was busy, Mansour came to the stadium to watch Hoyoung’s debut match.
“thank you.”
“I should be the one to thank you. “For letting me see them beat Tottenham for the first time.”
He encouraged the players, including Hoyoung, with his signature happy smile.
Then he said to Hoyoung.
“You should hurry and go to the press conference room.”
“At the conference hall?”
“then. “Because you are today’s protagonist.”
The man of the match award for today’s game definitely went to Hoyoung, who recorded 2 goals and 1 assist.
Hoyoung, who was at the press conference with coach Mancini, had to be bombarded with questions as soon as he could sit down.
“Congratulations on winning the match. How do you feel about scoring your debut goal and being selected as Man of the Match in your debut game? “Of course, it’s a common occurrence for you.”
“haha. no. This is always a good thing. Having a satisfactory debut match is a very attractive and fantastic thing. Everything is new to me now. City’s new uniform, new teammates, new stadium, rain that falls every two days, and even the passion of the fans who come all the way. Everything is different and good. “This MOM selection feels like an award given to me in commemoration of such a day.”
“There is no doubt about it. Because every goal Manchester City scored today came from your toes. You deserve to be selected as MOM. Congratulations again.”
“thank you. but.”
Hoyoung continued speaking with a soft smile.
“I don’t think so. If I didn’t have a team, I wouldn’t have been able to catch the ball in the first place. I think the most important thing is always the team. That’s the soccer I learned. Whether you score ten or twenty goals alone, it is ultimately the result of the team supporting you. “There’s no point playing soccer if you don’t have teammates by your side.”
Hoyoung, who had a lot of things he wanted to say, blurted them out as if giving a speech.
Since I was not yet fluent in English, I spoke in short, easy sentences that contained only the main points.
“I just want to focus on the present. I hope I can help my team and colleagues with everything I have. Because I know very well that it will eventually come back to me. That’s the only thing on my mind right now. Of course it will be a difficult process. But in the end we will gain a lot. That’s what I want to achieve at Manchester City.”
As Hoyoung spoke seriously, Director Manchini also added a word of support.
“We will create a miracle.”
Mancini gained confidence after today’s game.
It really felt like I could achieve a miracle, just like a lie.
There was a huge difference between what Woo Ho-young saw on screen and what he actually saw.
There was no way he could be this dependable and trustworthy.
When I thought about it, it was like that.
Didn’t he lead a weak team called Korea to 3rd place in the World Cup?
I had a feeling that this miracle would happen here in Manchester City.
The game that day became a hot topic and spawned numerous articles.
[〈Guardian〉 Woo Ho-young scored 2 goals and 1 assist, rated out of 10…. Some experts said, “A game that showed that everything is equal when it comes to skill.”]
[〈The Sun〉 He shared Woo Ho-young’s jersey with Gareth Bale on friendly terms. Luka Modric returned home looking like he had everything in the world. The next day, the next-door neighbor said, “I saw Modric wearing Ho-Young Woo’s uniform inside the house.”]
[Gareth Bale “I keenly felt the difference in skill. Other teams will also have to be very nervous.”]
[William Gallas: “The devil has fallen on the EPL. It seems like the world’s Bergkamp and Henry are playing as one. It would be best to avoid it altogether. No, it’s inevitable….”]
In addition, there were some evaluations that Manchester City showed very good chemistry.
Of course, the chemistry with Robinho was disappointing, but Kompany’s defensive ability and Tevez’s goal were impressive, and the analysis was that Woo Ho-young’s transfer would have a positive impact on the team.
There was a heated debate regarding this on EPL Mania’s dedicated bulletin board for Man City.
[It’s fortunate that Woo Ho-young finished the third goal, but if Robinho had not been greedy at the end and given the pass, he could have scored it cleanly. Stupid guy.]
└Hmm, I don’t know. That was enough to hit me. The shooting angle was open.
└That’s true, but what if Woo Ho-young didn’t score in the end? All the arrows must have gone to Robinho, right? Anyway, passing was the most ideal play there.
└Well, I guess I was scared inside. They will be recruiting more players in this winter transfer market, but they need to score at least some goals to maintain their starting position.
└That’s right. I felt a little sad when I saw it. I also lost my number 10 jersey. At one time, Robinho was our god.
└It’s only the first game, so why are we so serious? It’s not like breathing can be adjusted in a day or two. Watching Woo Hoyoung play today, it seemed like we would get along well in some way.
That was right.
First of all, I needed time.
Of course, the relationship between the two may become more strained than it is now, but the possibility that it could be the other way around could not be ignored.
Hoyoung was looking at everything positively.
I thought my relationship with Robinho could be sufficiently improved.
And I definitely wanted to do that.
Even though he was a toothless tiger, he was someone who would be of great help in winning the Europa League.
It’s not that his skills have diminished due to aging, he just lost form for a while.
In other words, the most important thing was team unity and recovery of physical condition.
Fortunately, the atmosphere at the training ground gradually improved after the match day.
Meanwhile, Hoyoung became more and more familiar with other players, and thanks to that, he was able to focus more on training.
Talent has grown steadily.
However, the ‘Mozart’s forward playmaking (U)’ that Modric coveted could be combined with the versatility to dominate the field (W+3), but it was shelved for now as it had already reached its limit.
‘There are already three talents that have reached their limit.’
Even thinking about it gave me goosebumps.
When I looked at the other players at the training ground and saw their talent, I wondered if this was really someone like him.
[Woo Ho-
young] Talents
– Ultimate dribbling (W+3)
– Versatility to dominate the field (W+3)
– Unrivaled goal-making ability (W+3)
– Amazing hitting and running (W+2)
– Top-notch winding kick (W+)
– Unprecedented soccer prodigy (W)
– Cha Boom’s thighs (L)
– Advanced ball sense (SSS+3)
– (See more)
Three W+3s.
SSS+3 one.
Among them, there are three talents that reach the human limit.
Many other SU U SS S-level A-level talents were also steadily growing.
In addition, once you turn 18, you can even pursue T-level talent.
The speed of growth will be faster than now.
‘The speed of integration will also accelerate.’
Therefore, the conditions for breaking the limit had to be met in advance by unconditionally lifting the Europa League trophy this season.
You only get one chance.
‘It will definitely succeed.’
We’re almost there.
We have arrived at the threshold where we can overcome the limit.
No one would stop here unless they were a fool.
Hoyoung devoted himself to training with strong will.
The day to cross the threshold was getting closer.
The next league match scheduled for January 15th was against mid-to-lower-ranked Wolverhampton Wanderers.
In the meantime, there was an FA Cup round of 64 match against Leicester City, and Hoyoung, who played as a starter, scored two goals in the first half and won easily.
Thanks to this, Hoyoung was able to play only the first half and take a break early.
And until the 15th, we planned to have a leisurely schedule with a combination of rest and training.
When there was no training, I took a medical test.
There was data received from Real Madrid, but Man City conducted additional detailed analysis.
Manchester City’s medical staff showed a surprising reaction, as if they had discovered an alien.
It eventually reached Mansour’s ears.
And on the day Mansour visited England again, he met Hoyoung first.
“There is no fuss about you having the body of a god. “I heard we should send it to a biology lab, not a soccer field?”
“haha. “Perhaps because Man City’s medical staff is of a high standard, they are also good at telling jokes.”
“ha ha ha.”
Mansour felt so good that he couldn’t stop smiling.
“By the way, is life in Manchester worth it? Are there any shortcomings? “What about English?”
“The British pronunciation is a bit unfamiliar, but it is improving thanks to the separate classes provided by the club. And I plan to apply to the licensing office soon to get a learner’s license issued. “Everything is good.”
“Do you like the house?”
“There’s no way you wouldn’t like a house like that.”
The penthouse prepared by Mansour himself was too big for the three of them to live in, including his mother and Ruchi. Moreover, Kim Hee-sun was scheduled to leave for London soon, so she would feel even more empty.
“Well, the bigger the house, the better. The maids take care of all the cleaning and cooking. Oh, other than that, I have one favor to ask.”
“Say it.”
“It’s about recruiting. First, can I see the list of signings for this transfer window?”
“No need to worry, I will tell you directly.”
The recruitment list that Mansour announced immediately afterwards included a mix of older star players and young prospects.
Among them, there didn’t seem to be many players who could come to Man City at the moment.
‘Currently, there are limits to Manchester City’s ability to purchase players with money.’
The team’s reputation was still lacking.
Still, if you were to pick players who could do it….
“Are there players you want to play with?”
“yes. Among them, I think there are some players in particular who will be of great help to the team.”
“Then tell me directly. “I will instruct the club to be notified through the president.”
“thank you.”
Mansour usually did not interfere with player recruitment, but this time it was different.
Then, Hoyoung quickly organized his thoughts on a note and handed it to him.
“They are attractive players. These are people who have already been on our club’s recruitment list for two years. “I was laughed at and ended up failing at everything.”
“I think it will be the same this time too. “There won’t be many players who will come over in the winter.”
“I see what you mean.”
It was not our intention to make all the recruitment this winter.
It was construction for next season’s Champions League, not this season.
right.
Hoyoung was already making up his mind to extend his contract.
“Then I guess we should start with Valencia, who is the most formidable.”
“He’s been a work in progress since the beginning, so I think it’ll be pretty easy.”
“I guess so. However, AC Milan and Barcelona will be problematic. Anyway, I will tell the president that.”
“thank you.”
Thus began the project to build the greatest club on earth.
