293. Physical fight (2)
When Hoyoung warmed up, the stadium shook.
No matter which team they were rooting for, everyone was raising their voices.
Reactions were divided into two categories.
“Let’s win!”
“Tear them apart!”
“Viva Young! (Long live Woo Ho-young!).”
Manchester City fans cheering for Hoyoung.
And on the other side were Stoke City fans waving red flags and shouting evil.
“He finally opens the hell gate!”
(Woo Ho-young opened the gates of hell!)
“We want teach him!”
(Make him see the point!)
“We want kick his dick!”
(Kick his dick!)
“Kill him!” Kill him! Kill him!”
Voices demanding to kill Woo Ho-young filled the stadium.
Hooligan.
They were supporters of Stoke City, famous for their extreme tendencies.
In particular, there was a riot during a game against Manchester City in 1998, but it has become much more mellow these days.
For them there was only one outcome.
Kill or be killed?
[Carlos Tevez comes out and Woo Ho-young enters. The atmosphere is unusual.]
[Ryan Shawcross’s eyes are already unusual. Didn’t he say that publicly on social media? Of course, it wasn’t aimed directly at Woo Ho-young, but we still need to be especially careful. Tevez was also struck in an instant, right?]
Stoke City’s captain.
Ryan Shawcross narrowed his eyes sharply.
Then, without saying a word, he approached Hoyoung and stood.
It ended there.
There was no childish psychological warfare like “Today is your memorial day.”
He wasn’t the type to argue with words.
If he was going to do something, he would show it with action, and he wasn’t the type of person who preferred to start a war of words on the field.
‘Let’s take a look first.’
Before exploration.
He deliberately did not stick to Hoyoung and kept his distance by slightly moving away.
It was to escape the referee’s gaze.
Then, like an animal waiting for its prey, I watched for opportunity.
In the first place, his target was Hoyoung.
He was planning to send Hoyoung away even if he was expelled and received additional disciplinary action.
Because that was our only hope of beating Man City.
But that opportunity rarely came.
‘There is no such thing as a crazy person.’
Hoyoung had been running wild ever since he entered the stadium, and his movements were so complicated that it was difficult to mark him in the first place.
At the same time, the flow of the game naturally flowed towards Man City.
[Manchester City passes the ball around and uses the stadium widely, calmly building up possession. The economy is gradually stabilizing.]
[That’s right. This is the effect of Woo Ho-young. Not only does he play the role of a striker, but he sometimes comes down to the second line and helps take the pressure off, helping the game run smoothly. This is a move to prevent physical fights among Stoke City players. There is nothing for Stoke City to do as the pass is made before the match is even made.]
Stoke City’s tactics did not work properly because James Milner and David Silva spread the formation wide and were active.
However, I couldn’t afford to do an interceptor.
This is because Ronaldinho, standing at the center, was leisurely coordinating the attack and distributing accurate passes in all directions.
Thanks to this, the linkage play between the second and first lines was revived, and the number of times Hoyoung caught the ball increased.
[David Silva stabs forward!]
[Second line center Woo Ho-young turns his back on the defense and catches it.]
“It’s here!”
“Kill!”
Abdoulaye Faye, who was nearby, stuck his shoulder in.
He was a 33-year-old veteran, but with the agility and incredible physical strength unique to blacks, it was worth a bet.
However, that lumpy body was reduced to a useless existence in front of him.
Whoop!
“urg!”
[Ah, it turned! 360 degree rotation!!]
La pelopina turn.
It wasn’t a flashy move on the outside, but the timing and speed were ridiculously fast.
In the past few days, it was Hoyoung who had mastered the talent he had coveted from David Silva and made it his own.
No, more than the original.
The movement, which utilized excellent flexibility and ball sense skills, was at a level that could not be imitated even by looking at it.
Abdoulaye Faye quickly turned his back, but Hoyoung had already left the scene.
It didn’t end there.
Tap tap.
After turning 360 degrees, he immediately tried to find an opening and break through with a phantom dribble.
After that, hit and run.
Percussion!
Three touches.
It all happened in an instant, as if it were one movement.
The realm of the extraordinary.
This incredible performance brought out loud cheers from the audience.
“Viva!”
“Young!”
“Viva!”
“Young!!”
Hoyoung continued his momentum and attacked forward.
There are two defenders remaining.
[Woo Ho-young! We will try to break through as is!!]
[You have to be careful! Huth is coming in!]
Robert Huth.
‘come.’
Hoot was determined to show why Stoke City are called a man’s team.
Anyway, you can’t stop it with a decent tackle.
And if a breakthrough was allowed here, there was a high probability that a goal would be conceded.
If so, there is one way.
It was the moment Hoyoung came within range.
Whoop!
He lifted both feet high and made a forward tackle.
It wasn’t a simple tackle.
With his left foot, he aimed at Hoyoung’s groin, and with his right foot, he aimed at the pubis on the other side.
It was a tackle prepared in advance for Hoyoung’s change of direction.
Once this happened, there was no escape hole.
but.
Sigh!
“…?!”
That was just Robert Huth’s idea.
Hoyoung was never tackled.
Surprisingly, Hoyoung’s leg stopped just before it touched Hoot’s foot.
Sudden stop.
Hoyoung stopped in place at a speed that was dizzying just to look at.
It was an even weirder play because the knee didn’t go out, but now the incredible lower body was holding it up.
Hoot belatedly tried to reach out, but Hoyoung was already out of range.
Whoop!
[Turn once again!]
This time, it’s La Pellopiña turn again.
Hoyoung neutralized Hoot’s second tackle by rotating his body in the opposite direction.
And then I hit and ran.
Percussion!
And the one remaining, Ryan Shawcross.
He was truly a master of dirty play, and even his fighting skills were at a different level.
Whoop!
With a physique of 190 cm and 80 kg, he came at me with a sudden attack, and the timing was so fast that I couldn’t avoid it.
There was no time to pass or change direction.
so.
“Sigh.”
Hoyoung did not avoid.
Remembering what Tevez said, I placed my center of gravity on my lower body.
By pulling your head forward and bending your waist backwards, you balance your entire body and push your hips back, using your legs as support.
And it held strong.
Pow!
“Tsk.”
Shawcross’s face was covered with astonishment.
A shock strong enough to shake his bones enveloped his entire body, but Hoyoung was still standing unharmed.
Even when I pulled on my uniform, I didn’t fall until the end.
Normally, at this point, even the best player would have to stumble, but that was almost impossible to find in Hoyoung.
‘crazy.’
It was as strong as a tree deeply rooted in the ground, and its surface was as hard as a rock.
There was no sign of it going over at all.
It was truly a crazy situation.
Even.
Swish!
“…!!”
Hoyoung instantly thrust his hips and twisted his waist, causing Shawcross, who was pulling his uniform, to fall out.
The goalposts were shaken immediately afterwards.
It was a heavy mid-range shot that seemed as if it would tear through the net.
The keeper could not react at all to the timing, which was half a beat faster.
Crash!
“downpour!”
[Gooooooooo! Equal goal! Woo Ho-young creates it!]
[After withstanding the violent struggle, he hits me right away. It’s refreshing. That’s manly!]
“Why!”
Shawcross slammed the floor in anger.
Up until that point, I thought it was a coincidence.
However, even after once or twice, the same situation continued to repeat itself.
“What a son of a bitch.”
Nothing would change even if I cursed.
Hoyoung was still strong and did not waver in any struggle.
However, when he aimed for the knee with a sliding tackle, Hoyoung did not allow the distance.
There was no other way.
[This is Woo Ho-young once again. This time, I go down and receive it myself.]
[Shawcross runs right behind me!]
It was the same this time too.
I tried a sliding tackle with the reaction speed of an animal, but I couldn’t even touch my toes.
[Woo Ho-young’s no-touch receive! It goes away without touching the ball!]
Fake.
Hoyoung pretended to receive the ball and then turned sharply back to neutralize Shawcross’s tackle.
This was one of the reasons why it was difficult to deal with Woo Ho-young.
There are so many plays that can be made.
Moreover, Hoyoung was not easy to defeat in psychological warfare, so Shawcross was sick of having to deal with him.
“That bastard!”
Shawcross tackled the bare ground and stretched out his hand as if grasping for a straw.
But Hoyoung avoids even that…
“Kek!”
No, he just stepped on it and hit it straight away.
The shots came out soon after.
[Stop mid-range!]
Crash!
“downpour!”
Man City’s third goal.
It was around the 58th minute of the second half when the goal that turned the game around was scored.
And it was five minutes later that Shawcross, who had done nothing, was replaced.
As the game progressed more and more unfavorably, coach Tony Pulis ordered the left and right sides to be strengthened to encourage throw-ins.
However, even that wasn’t easy because the ball wouldn’t come over at all.
Just like that, the man’s team collapsed helplessly.
Beep!
Game over.
The score is 4 to 2.
It was an easy comeback win for Manchester City.
[Manchester City advances to the FA Cup final for the first time in 32 years since 1969!]
[It was a great match. In the end, even the world’s Stoke City couldn’t touch Woo Ho-young even a single hair. It seemed like Shawcross had planned it all out. I guess I’ll have to bring a gun to stop him.]
[Haha. It must be heartbreaking for Liverpool fans who reached the final two days ago.]
Meanwhile, thanks to Hoyoung’s hat trick, he was able to enjoy Rory Delap’s ‘Human Catapult Throw-in (U)’.
Immediately after the game, he was selected as MOM and attended a press conference.
And when asked how he felt about advancing to the finals, he answered without hesitation.
“There’s nothing that can stop us now.”
That night, the streets of Manchester turned into a scene of celebration.
But what was even more surprising was what Lucci said to Hoyoung while he was having lunch the next day.
“This time, another attractive advertisement has arrived. I think the extreme and rough play from the last game tempted them. “It’s a very attractive ad, just like the last Nike one.”
“It’s in season?”
“The filming time is as short as last time. If I don’t feel like it right away, I don’t mind putting it off until June.”
“Can I hear what it is first?”
“It’s a car commercial.”
“!”
automobile.
It was an advertisement that every man would want at least once.
Still, Hoyoung has wanted to try it for a long time.
There was no need to worry as I had recently obtained my driver’s license.
“Then do you have a partner this time?”
“Sure.”
‘Partner.’
Following Rafael Nadal, I was excited to see who it would be this time.
