291. Victory (2)
The game aroused people’s interest even before it started.
[A flawless striker and a flawless attacking midfielder face off for the team’s pride!]
Shevchenko and Woo Ho-young have been compared for a long time.
They both had something in common in that they led the team alone and were both legendary players representing the national team.
Of course, if compared based on current skills, Hoyoung was overwhelmingly superior.
Shevchenko is 34 years old this year, an age that can be considered the twilight of a soccer player.
However, he was reaching his second peak by scoring many goals this season.
In fact, everyone was predicting which team would win the game.
Just looking at the odds given by the gamblers, the odds of Man City winning were overwhelmingly high.
Nevertheless, the reason people showed so much interest in the game was because of the symbolism of the match between the two.
Andriy Shevchenko, a flawless striker of the old generation who has now become a legend.
And the current generation’s flawless attacking midfielder Woo Ho-young.
It was a match of the century that may never be seen again if not today.
however.
“hmm?”
“what? Why is Young there?”
As the game began, the Etihad Stadium was filled with questions.
Hoyoung was deployed as a top striker rather than an attacking midfielder.
[Man City’s formation is the same as usual, 4-2-3-1, but the players’ placement is surprising. Woo Ho-young was deployed as a striker, Ronaldinho was deployed as an attacking midfielder, and David Silva was deployed as a right winger. Robinho took charge of the left wing.]
[It’s scary just to look at it. It is a formation that makes you wonder about Coach Mancini’s intentions.] The
reason Hoyoung was used as a striker was because of Tevez’s minor injury.
However, Adebayor cannot be sent out to such an important game.
Entering the stadium, Hoyoung shook hands with him and exchanged a brief greeting.
“I look forward to a good game.”
“i look forward to.”

(Hidden conditions are achieved for S-tier or higher. (Condition 1: Win the game by more than 3 points)
(Condition 2: Score more goals than Andriy Shevchenko)
(Condition 3: Maintain a higher scoring ability than Andriy Shevchenko in this game)
(
Hidden condition : Open when more than one talent is desired)
Ronaldo of Eastern Europe.
It was a talent worthy of that nickname.
‘Today’s goal is decisive.’
It was not an easy condition.
Even though he is old, isn’t Shevchenko still a great goal-scorer?
Of course, if he achieved 1 goal with 1 shot and stopped shooting, he could maintain his goal scoring ability at 100%, but Hoyoung had no intention of doing that.
Besides that, there were several talents that Hoyoung could covet in today’s game.
If you satisfied ‘scoring 5 or more goals in a game’, you could satisfy Ronaldinho’s hidden condition 1, and if you satisfied ‘receiving 3 assists’, you could even obtain David Silva’s unique talent.
Although both conditions were difficult, there was a chance of success today because David Silva and Ronaldinho supported the team from the back.
In other words, it was a game that required a feast of goals.
[And Dynamo Kiev came out with the 4-1-2-1-2 formation against Manchester City. They put Shevchenko and Artem Milewski as the top two at the front, and Yarmolenko and Huseu, who are good at crossing, were placed on the left and right sides. Roman Eremenko, who has an excellent mid-distance shooting, was used as an attacking midfielder.]
[If you look at the player composition, it looks like they clearly have the will to attack. It is expected that there will be an exciting match.]
The offensive strategy prepared by Dynamo Kiev was simple.
The first step was to bring balance to the midfield by having Yarmolenko and Huseu, positioned on the left and right, move widely in the second line and cover a wide area.
Next, defensive midfielder Vukojevic distributed the ball to the side and crossed to the center to score the second goal.
The third was to score using Shevchenko’s excellent positioning ability and tall Milewski’s head.
However, if the defender clears the ball, Eremenko, as an attacking midfielder, finishes by aiming for the second ball with a mid-range shot.
This was the tactic that Valeri Gazzaev had been preparing.
There was no answer to just playing defense against Man City, so it was better to fight back.
The intention was good and the concept was also good.
However, the biggest problem was that we could not deploy the tactics we had prepared.
[Yaya Toure’s pass is delivered to Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho crosses the halfway line and slowly attempts to break through.]
[Vukojevic is applying pressure!]
Defensive midfielder Vukojevic applied strong pressure, but Ronaldinho leisurely dribbled and kept the ball.
However, his skills have been improving as he recently started taking care of his body.
There was no way he would give the ball away easily.
[Ah, I won’t lose it until the end.]
[Then, I leisurely turn the pass to the right. David Silva receives it.]
[Yeschenko catches up at the same time!]
Right fullback Yeschenko immediately put his foot in as if he had been waiting.
But so was Silva.
As if he had predicted this moment in advance, he pulled his body to the side and easily escaped the pressure.
[David Silva’s exclusive patent! He protects the ball by rotating his body outward!]
La pelopina turn.
One of the reasons why David Silva’s decompression technique was excellent was by turning to the outside and escaping the opponent’s pressure.
Although it is not as flashy as the Marseille turn or scoop turn, it has the advantage of being able to take off the opponent’s pressure simply and quickly.
It wasn’t just about being good at changing direction or controlling the ball.
Like David Silva, you must instinctively understand the timing and situation of turns to use them freely.
[David Silva escapes from pressure. Passes back to Ronaldinho.]
[Dynamo Kyiv We have tried to apply systematic pressure since the start of the game, but we have achieved nothing. Rather, they are only wasting their stamina.]
Despite Woo Ho-young being at the front line, Dynamo Kiev suffered a crushing defeat in the back-and-forth battle.
Manchester City was not the average or upper-tier team they thought.
They had become a strong team in just a few months.
[great. The players are not losing the ball. The instability of just a few months ago is no longer visible. The players’ chemistry is also good.]
It soon showed results.
While David Silva and Ronaldinho were trying to make play in the second line, Robinho tried to break through and destroy the side, and in that gap, David Silva went up and shook the right side.
With even Ronaldinho holding on in the center, Dynamo Kiev was bound to be confused.
and.
[Woo Ho-young moves inside the box!]
To make matters worse.
Because Hoyoung was wandering around the penalty box, he couldn’t relax at all.
He was a disaster itself.
“Don’t miss the move!”
“Follow with the thought of following to the ends of the earth!”
“You can’t take your eyes off me even for a second!”
Central defenders Mykhalyk and Khacheridi were chasing Hoyoung like a mosquito, but they couldn’t stop him just by following him on sight.
Okay.
“under!”
Hoyoung’s movements were close to an art.
As if ignoring inertia, it instantly changed direction and instantly found and positioned an invisible empty space.
The body balance (S-) and superior agility (S-) that I developed a while ago were making it even smoother.
Plus perfect location selection.
“Yeschenko!”
The defender who missed Hoyoung shouted loudly, but it was nearly impossible to react when he saw the movement.
However, it was not possible to predict his path.
I couldn’t even understand why I was standing here.
No, there was no need to make it difficult to understand.
Because wherever he is standing is the best position to score a goal.
Crash!
[Gooooooooooo!]
[Woohoyoung! Silva’s pass leads to a goal! Manchester City is ahead!]
That was the first goal.
And the second goal also followed the same pattern.
In just 3 minutes.
Crash!
[Gooooooo! Woo Ho-young’s second goal is explosive!! Silva’s kill pass was delivered precisely to the feet of Woo Ho-young!]
[Before that, the connection between Ronaldinho and Robinho was also good. It’s literally a pattern that you can’t block even if you know it.]
Hoyoung’s positioning ability made Ronaldinho’s playmaking powerful, and Silva’s kill pass improved Hoyoung’s scoring ability.
They were demonstrating perfect performance through interaction with each other.
The score is 2-0.
There were only 7 minutes left in the first half.
[Maybe this formation is the best combination Man City can have at the moment. Woo Ho-young is so scary because he only focuses on attack. If his main position had been striker, he might have already broken the record for the most goals in a season in history.]
[This is a game that is pleasing to the eye. I’m just happy to be able to watch a game like this for nearly 90 more minutes.]
Man City’s hot offensive showed no signs of stopping.
The crowd’s voice grew louder and the players’ spirit also increased.
Dynamo Kiev had nothing to do.
It was not possible to win the game by being defensive.
Fighting like this was to gain at least 1% of hope.
And it was around the 9th minute of the first half.
[Gareth Barry and Yaya Toure exchange passes. He forms a triangle with Ronaldinho.]
The two defensive midfielders who were building up at the back came up and launched an onslaught.
Because of this, Dynamo Kyiv’s players were distracted by the midfield.
Then, Man City countered this and attacked the left and right flanks.
Kolarov and David Silva’s crosses from the left and right went up into the box, and less than three minutes later, a decisive chance arose.
It soon turned into an aerial contest between Hoyoung and the defenders.
[Cross going to the other side of the goal! Yeschenko jumps!]
[Hacheridi also jumps!]
Poop!
“100 million!”
“Ugh!”
Two defenders tried to stop Hoyoung by grabbing his elbows one by one, but Hoyoung’s torso, which jumped into the air, hardly shook.
On the contrary, Hoyoung crushed the two with his tremendous strength and put his head on the ball.
and.
Crash!
The header soon led to a goal.
It was a hat trick that came in about 12 minutes.
Moreover, it did not end there.
15 minutes in the first half.
Hoyoung scored the fourth goal by tackling the ball that the defender was trying to throw away, and the fifth goal was scored after three defenders were turned aside in turn.
Just before the end of the first half, he scored his sixth goal with a free kick and was replaced by Adebayor at halftime.
By the end of the second half, the baseball score of 8 to 2 was on the electronic screen.
Hoyoung, who was resting on the bench, received valuable compensation for today’s victory.
The list was as follows.
[Merlin’s La Pelopinha Turn (U)]
[Amazing Creativity (SS)]
David Silva’s patented ‘La Pelopinha Turn’, known as ‘Merlin the Wizard’.
Ronaldinho’s ‘phenomenal creativity’.
No additional time was needed to covet them.
And it was the moment when Shevchenko’s talent was acquired.
[The goal-making power of a flawless striker (SU) and the unrivaled goal-making power (W+3) have been successfully combined.]
[The absolute value of ‘unmatched goal-making power’ is 22.00]
[Talent is beyond the human limit. We have reached it.]
[If the conditions are met, you can be promoted to ‘Transcendent Goal Determination (TS)’ according to the absolute value.]
Flawless.
If Shevchenko in his prime was a flawless striker, the current Hoyoung is a striker himself.
And the time to surpass it was getting closer and closer.
