304. The long-awaited 38th round (2)
[What are the highlights of today’s game?]
[First of all, we can choose the competition for the championship. And one of them is the match between Woo Ho-young, who is the league’s top scorer with 27 goals, and Berbatov, who is close behind with 25 goals. I think it will be an exciting game as there is a lot at stake.]
Since it was a game with a lot at stake, both teams made cautious moves.
Early in the first half.
The game went on in a boring fashion.
[Manchester United on the left slowly turns the ball.]
Manchester United was using a wide field of the stadium.
They spread the formation wide and exchanged quick and accurate passes to maintain possession.
[Manchester City’s pressure is not easy.]
[Darren Fletcher escapes from David Silva’s pressure. We keep the ball safe.’]
Manchester City pushed hard from the beginning, but Manchester United did not panic and maintained a wide formation by exchanging long ball passes.
[Manchester United is sticking to the basics. They are breaking away from the opponent’s pressure and putting pressure on the entire pitch.]
[That’s right. All players are creating elaborate lines. It is a line that is very easy to dominate space.]
4-4-2 formation.
It is a tactic known to be the most ideal formation for controlling space, and as long as the players move actively, they can eat up the entire space on the pitch.
However, the ideal and reality were different.
No matter how rigorous the training was, it was impossible to be perfect in real combat where the flow was constantly changing.
however.
“Nani, you stupid bastard! Open further to the right! “It’s too focused towards the center!”
Only one person was filling in the missing part.
“You idiot! Move a little more actively! Have you been training? “Be alert!”
It was Ferguson’s cry coming from outside the ground.
He constantly scolded the players and refined their movements.
That was one of the strengths that made him the best manager of all time.
“Yumma! Go up! “The space is empty!”
The players moved busily under Ferguson’s command and gradually took control of the pitch.
Meanwhile, Manchester City’s bad team atmosphere began to reveal itself one after another.
Poor cooperative defense with 2% pass misses.
Knowingly or unknowingly, we were not in sync with each other and mistakes were made here and there.
Manchester United did not miss the opportunity.
It was around 15 minutes in the first half.
[Man Utd slowly drives the ball up. The formation is changed.]
[Rooney goes down and Berbatov takes on the top spot.]
In attack, Wayne Rooney moves down to attacking midfielder, forming a 4-2-3-1 formation.
“Rooney! I’ll make space for you! Go up directly!”
“okay!”
As a world-class second striker, Rooney shook up Manchester City’s defense with his creative and energetic play.
Free-Role.
That was the role Ferguson gave Rooney.
He did not overdo it and played the game by concentrating only on his role.
[Wayne Rooney breaks past Gareth Barry!]
Wayne Rooney’s trademark ‘mortar dribbling’.
He devastated the front line with his crude yet sophisticated dribbling.
[Yaya Toure is colliding!]
[Ah, the two players are colliding!]
Whoops!
The winner is Wayne Rooney.
Rooney’s physical balance was so excellent that even Drogba, the world’s greatest player, could compete with him.
Moreover, his playmaking ability to create chances is also top-notch.
His eyes looked forward.
‘There it is.’
Striker Dimitar Berbatov was seen finding a gap in the front line and penetrating.
I was confident.
I am confident that if I pass there, I will have a perfect chance.
‘it’s okay.’
It was the moment I stretched out my feet while thinking that.
Pow!
“…?!”
Just before my foot touched the ball, I felt a heavy feeling behind me.
No, it went beyond heaviness.
It felt like a huge rock had rolled and hit my back.
As expected, it was Woo Ho-young.
[Woo Ho-young succeeds in the surprise attack by a narrow margin.]
A sudden fight for the ball breaks out.
The ball still couldn’t leave Wayne Rooney’s toes.
‘what is this.’
Rooney had the belief that he would not lose to anyone in a physical fight.
But now.
“Ugh.”
It seemed like that belief would be broken.
The physical fight with Woo Ho-young was beyond imagination.
Physical positioning power.
Woo Ho-young was not pushed back by all of that.
Or rather, he overpowered Wayne Rooney and even took control of his body.
‘Then where?’
For a brief moment, Rooney showed his wit.
I momentarily shifted my center of gravity to my lower body and exerted force backwards.
The intention was to lie down and kick the ball forward.
First of all, it was important to send the ball somewhere else.
But Hoyoung didn’t stay still like a scarecrow.
At the same time, he placed the center of gravity on his lower body and perfectly withstood Rooney’s weight with his strong thighs.
‘crazy!’
It was shocking.
Woo Ho-young knew exactly how to use his body and where to place his center of gravity.
It was like watching my former teammate Carlos Tevez fight.
Moreover, it did not end there.
In the meantime, Hoyoung stretched out his feet and brought the ball under his feet.
It was as if every part of the body was alive and moving individually with its own identity.
[Turn over as is! Woo Ho-young gets the ball!]
Several rounds of psychological warfare and dynamic physical fights took place, but only 3 seconds lasted.
From then on, it was Hoyoung’s time.
Percussion!
counterattack.
It was the moment when Hoyoung kicked off the ground and ran forward.
“That stupid bastard!”
Coach Ferguson’s voice rang in Rooney’s ears.
At that moment, Rooney came to his senses and stood up like a roly-poly and quickly chased after Hoyoung.
If you miss here, there is a very high possibility that you will concede a goal.
So I threw myself away.
Since it was the last game, I didn’t feel much pressure even if I received a yellow card.
And it was that moment.
Woo Ho-young turned his head slightly and made eye contact.
“…!”
Then something even more surprising happened.
Even though the distance was very close, Hoyoung dodged away at an unbelievable speed.
bang!
Heading to the bare ground.
Rooney threw himself into the air and fell down.
[Wow, Woo Ho-young passes by completely mocking Rooney!]
[That’s amazing. Dodge in the opposite direction from that distance. That’s a great intuition.]
Intuition.
The commentators believed so.
This is because it was impossible based on common sense to avoid it at that close range.
But it wasn’t intuition.
He read Rooney’s movements accurately and avoided them with quick judgment.
The body vision (W+3) that I coveted from Schumacher.
It made the impossible possible.
This was a very mysterious experience for Hoyoung.
It was almost as if Rooney’s movements were slow.

Rooney, who was lying on the ground, just looked at Hoyoung’s back with shocked eyes.
Hoyoung easily passed Rooney and took the lead.
It was that moment.
[Man Utd’s formation changes!] Instead of
panicking, Manchester Utd established a defensive strategy as they had trained tirelessly.
As soon as Hoyoung hit and ran, the six players who were forming a hexagonal formation around him ran in at the same time and narrowed the space.
This was the basic tactic that Manchester United had been preparing.
When Hoyoung catches the ball, he runs unconditionally and takes advantage of the space.
Darren Fletcher, Michael Carrick, Ryan Giggs, Nani, Patrice, Evra, Gary Neville narrowed the distance from all directions, blocking the space for Hoyoung to play.
As a result, little attention was paid to the weakened sides and front.
Their purpose is only one.
-You can’t let Woo Ho-young play. Of course, there will be a lot of gaps in other places, but it doesn’t matter. It’s much more profitable to interfere with one person, Hoyoung Woo, than it is to have 6 other people trying to get in the way.
The players focused solely on Hoyoung to carry out what Ferguson said.
North, south, east and west.
A siege net was built to surround the team from all sides and prevent any play.
No matter what happens, we did not deal with Hoyoung one-on-one and prevented him from going into a dangerous position.
That was enough.
‘it’s okay.’
There was no escape hole.
Michael Carrick, who was blocking the front, was quite certain.
No matter how friendly the world is, it would be impossible to break through such a tight gap.
It was a situation that could not be overcome without passing.
however.
widely!
A path that did not exist before has opened up.
“what!”
“Huh…..”
Right in the air.
It was clearly a situation where he was stuck.
However, Hoyoung created the path himself.
He slapped the ball, placed it neatly on his forehead, and ran away, bouncing his cheek like a seal.
Then, gaps began to appear of their own accord.
Preventing Woo Ho-young from going to a dangerous position was not enough.
From the beginning, wherever he was was dangerous.
“That crazy guy!”
“Damn it!”
The players who saw it right in front of their eyes couldn’t believe it.
It was a sight that left me doubting whether it was truly something a human could do.
But it was definitely something that was really happening.
[Woo Ho-young shows amazing play again today! I emerged stronger than before! What on earth happened!]
The reason why Hoyoung was able to do that was simple.
Integration of talent.
He was recently able to grow his ‘state-of-the-art concentration (SSS-)’ into ‘state-of-the-art mental power (SSS+3)’ by integrating it with other mental talents.
In other words, mental power had reached its human limit and the effects were now being seen.
Hoyoung was creating a path with almost magical concentration and judgment.
Surprised by this, Manchester United slightly lost their line, and Hoyoung did not miss the moment.
Cough!
He ran out while kicking the ball high in the air and dug into the space behind the defender.
Darren Fletcher Michael Carrick Ryan Giggs Nani Patrice Evra Gary Neville.
It was a play that turned those six players into scarecrows at once.
[Woo Ho-young uploads it and Woo Ho-young infiltrates! Woo Ho-young eats it all by himself!!]
[This is amazing timing! Ferdinand and Vidic try to follow, but it’s not enough!]
‘El Pistolero’s Line Breaking (SU)’, which I have been coveting from Suarez for a while.
‘El Nino’s Line Breaking (U)’, which I coveted from Torres a long time ago.
And ‘Flawless Line Breaking (W+2)’ was created by combining the two.
Hoyoung aimed for ghostly timing and neutralized the tight line that Manchester United had established.
Moreover, since the momentary attack was fast, there was nothing Ferdinand and Vidic could do.
and.
Talk.
[Wow!]
[Is there a magnet at the tip of the foot? [Catch the ball lightly!]
Hoyoung, who caught the aerial ball he kicked, caught the ball safely.
Rather than receiving it, it seemed as if it was being pulled with a magnet.
It was the effect of the ‘Non-Flying Dutchman’s First Touch’, which has not yet been integrated due to limitations.
And there is only one thing left.
Okay.
Hoyoung’s eyes turned forward.
The front was cool and open.
Edwin Van der Sar was calmly guarding the goal, but it didn’t matter.
Hoyoung just kicked like he always did.
[Woo Ho-young, mid-range, sooooooooooo!]
Crash!
‘Ultimate mid-range shooting (W+3)’ combined with Gerrard’s mid-range shooting.
It felt even weirder not to be in such a perfect situation.
[Gooooooooo! Manchester City is ahead!]
[I think this is a goal that truly shows the limits of humanity! I still get goosebumps even talking about it! It was huge!]
1 to 0.
The game went into the second half in shock.
