All Football Talents Are Mine Chapter 59

059. French legend (3)

[‘Woo Ho-young 1 goal, 1 assist, selected as Man of the Match’ Park Kyung-un-ho wins 3-2 over the French U16 team The

Korean U16 national team, which was considered the weakest team in the competition, was defeated by ‘Korea’s Maradona’ Woo Ho-young (13. Sao Paulo FC) defeated France with a mid-range first goal.

This is the first time since the 28th Montague Games in 2001 that France, the host country, lost in the opening match.

Regarding this, coach Park Kyung-woon predicted a storm of surprises, saying, “A big wind will blow.”

Also, on this day, the interview with Woo Ho-young, who was selected as MOM, was released, attracting public attention.] Interest

in soccer, which had faded slightly after the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, was being revived.

Posts about the national team constantly poured out on various community sites, but the center of attention was definitely Woo Ho-young.

[Where can I watch the game? I guess it doesn’t air in Korea. There are only highlights. Anyway, I think our players are really good. Especially Woo Ho-young.]

└Anyway, it was a youth game…..

└The highlights were worth watching, right?

└Not only that, but I also enjoyed the interview video. A French reporter asked a difficult question, but it seems you handled it well.

└It’s not that he’s eloquent, but he speaks clearly and clearly for a child. Still, I wish you would speak more calmly next time.

└But hasn’t your face changed a bit? Am I the only one who thinks that way?

└I think it has changed a lot, not just a little.

└Looks like you lost some breast fat? Plus, with his height and back teeth… I’d believe he’s a high school student.

└♥♥♥Let’s just grow like this♥♥♥♥

└But what will the next game be like? Since France also won, Ivory Coast should easily win, right?

Many netizens expected a big win in the next match against Ivory Coast, but the parties had different thoughts.

“Ivory Coast is a powerhouse of African tradition.”

March 24, 12:30 PM, Montague Stadium.

The players who arrived at the stadium for the second game listened to coach Park Kyung-woon’s words.

“He is definitely not someone to take lightly.”

It was just as the director said.

The problem is physical strength.

In the previous game against France, I used the substitution card appropriately and saved up my stamina, but I couldn’t help but feel weak.

But so was the opponent.

Or maybe it was even worse for Ivory Coast, which suffered a 3-0 defeat to Germany yesterday.

“Their mentality must have been a mess by now. “We have to take advantage of that and fight.”

“I understand.”

Coach Park Kyung-woon was planning to give his all to today’s game.

This is because I thought there was no hope for tomorrow’s game against Germany anyway.

Germany, which is considered to be the cradle of the youth system, had a slim squad that was determined to win, so the chances of winning were slim.

In other words, today’s match against Cote d’Ivoire was a life-or-death game.

‘A performance like yesterday is enough.’

If he could make good use of the super crack that is Woo Ho-young, he could expect a big win.

‘The problem is that we lose in the second half… We need to take a breather in the first half.’

The game becomes more unfavorable towards the end.

Because we cannot match the natural physical strength of Africans, we must compete at the first field.

After that, you can lock the goal gates in layers and store your stamina for the next game.

It was a very promising operation.

Coach Park Kyung-woon added just one word before taking the field.

“Pour it out!”

“yep!”

Hoyoung expressed confidence.

Hoyoung, who got on the field, looked around and quickly quit.

‘There are no special players.’

Although he was generally above average, he didn’t have any talent that was particularly desirable.

Even though there were, they were all overlapping.

Therefore, there was nothing to worry about outside of the game.

The perfect situation to carry out the director’s instructions to launch an onslaught.

I had a good feeling.

And that was soon proven in the game.

Crash!

8 minutes in the first half.

Hoyoung’s mid-range shot, which non-stop hit the ball thrown by Koo Ja-young, was sucked into the goal.

It was a shot that literally tore through the goal.

“like!”

“like!”

Hoyoung’s ceremony gave birth to a clone.

Seok Hyeong-jun was imitating Ho-young since last time, probably because it seemed interesting.

Thousands of spectators burst into laughter.

‘very good.’

It was a smooth start.

15 minutes in the first half.

Ivory Coast’s goalkeeper Bony, who scored three goals in the last game against Germany, was unable to recover from the mental shock.

It was a difficult situation for him, who was only 15 years old, to endure.

Still, I thought it would be a little better today, but my heart has been pounding ever since the game started.

I couldn’t come to my senses as the game went on with no time to breathe.

‘Please just shoot me.’

Number 7: Woo Ho-young.

As if he was possessed, he fired shots like cannonballs whenever he got the chance.

There were already two shots in the first 15 minutes, but thanks to barely punched shots, only one goal was scored.

‘I’m really going crazy.’

Even in the cold weather, where the temperature dropped to 5 degrees Celsius, Bonnie’s dark skin was filled with beads of sweat.

As a goalkeeper, facing a striker with good shooting ability was a very difficult experience.

It was a harsh ordeal for him, who was selected to the national team at just 15 years old.

It would be great.

‘help me.’

I ended up giving Hoyoung that look.

And that was the moment when the ball was delivered to Hoyoung’s feet.

widely.

As Woo Ho-young cut into the center and peeled off a defender, the shooting angle was wide open.

The distance is about 30 meters.

‘No way, I won’t hit you there….’

Pew!

There is no such thing as nonsense in the field.

Hoyoung hit the shot without hesitation, and the mid-range shot that came as a surprise came at a cool speed.

‘…outside left!’

Bonnie, like a promising goalkeeper, read the direction quickly.

At the same time, he jumped up and stretched out his hands.

widely!

A feeling of touch at your fingertips.

‘I blocked it…!’

No, it was a miscalculation.

The ball was too heavy to hit out of the goal.

Bonnie could not bear the weight and ended up opening the goal.

Crash!

It was Woo Ho-young’s second goal in just 15 minutes.

‘I hate this competition…’

It was only two goals conceded, but Bonnie had already lost motivation.

I wanted to raise my hand right away and ask for a replacement, but…

“Ha.”

He just looked at the director with resentful eyes.

‘Director… he clearly said that Korea is the weakest…’

Bonnie realized.

The fact that yesterday’s match result, when Korea defeated France, was not due to luck but skill.

Hoyoung, who scored a fantastic second goal, stared into space instead of celebrating.

[Heavy mid-range shot that penetrates the gap (B+3)↑]

Just one step to promotion.

The talent I wanted from Jeong-ho Yoon had grown so much before I knew it.

‘If things continue like this, we can score a few more goals.’

The Ivory Coast’s goalkeeper was a great asset.

Because of his short stature, it seemed like he would be vulnerable to mid-range shooting, but as expected, it was true.

So, whenever I had time, I fired a mid-range shot.

Talent is talent, but it was also preliminary work to acquire Cha Bum-gon’s talent.

’30 mid-range goals over 30 meters.’

Now we are almost halfway to the summit.

At first, it was difficult to succeed even once, but as my ankle strength improved and my kicking power strengthened, the frequency of success gradually increased.

‘Not long left.’

I focused on the game, looking forward to the day when I would gain L-level talent.

The game proceeded in a straight line without any major upsets.

Once Korea was on board, their momentum did not break and they showed off their outstanding scoring ability in the second half.

Côte d’Ivoire, which suffered a crushing defeat to Germany in the first game, was beaten by Korea and recorded two losses.

The result of the game was 3-0.

Woo Ho-young and Lee Cheong-ryong each scored two goals and one goal, giving South Korea its second victory.

And as expected, MOM went back to Hoyoung.

‘It’s definitely an U16 competition, but it feels easier than Brazil’s U15 competition.’

Although the age group went up by one year, it actually felt like the level went down a notch.

Moreover, with older players supporting us from behind, we were able to play to our heart’s content.

‘The goal of this competition is to win.’

Although he had won several championships in Brazil, he was still unmatched on the world stage.

So it was a competition that made me more ambitious.

Just one step to advance to the semifinals.

Could.

I believed so.

The match between France and Germany on the same day had unexpected results.

With the return of France’s key players who had been injured, they were able to secure a clean 2-0 victory and save face as the host nation.

On the other hand, Germany’s next match against Korea was disrupted due to a minor injury to their starting midfielder.

As a result, South Korea, which has achieved two wins so far, rose to first place in the group, followed by Germany and France.

However, Korea could not be completely at ease as its next opponent was Germany.

Unlike Group B, where England and Japan have already confirmed their advancement, Group A is in a situation where it is literally impossible to look ahead.

However, the good news is that coach Park Kyung-woon used the substitution card appropriately and stocked up the players’ stamina.

In particular, Hoyoung received thorough physical training and was fully prepared for the game against Germany the next day.

That night, at the Korea U16 national team’s accommodation.

“and.”

Hoyoung, who was busy looking at the list of players for the German U16 team given to him by his coach, could not keep his mouth shut.

‘It’s fantastic.’

Did you say they crushed Ivory Coast 3-0?

It was worth it.

This was a squad that immediately made sense that Germany had come with the goal of winning.

Truly an elite corps.

‘If I can’t even get through the group stage with this, I’ll have to resign as coach.’

It was a lineup so terrifying that even that thought occurred to me.

First of all, Bayern Munich’s Thomas Müller, who played during last year’s expedition to Germany, was one of them.

But Hoyoung was more excited than scared.

The first reason was being able to play on the field with superstars, and the second reason was because of one defender.

At that time, Lee Cheong-ryong, who was watching the list next to him, frowned and mentioned his name.

“They say German kids have such complicated names. Thomas… Jerome….? And what is this again? Holzer Barts…?”

“This is Holger Badstuber. “It’s one of the defenses we need to attack tomorrow.”

[Holger Badstuber (Center Back 17, SSV Ulm 1846)]

The defender who gave Hoyoung helplessness in the final of the MBS World Youth Championship.

As it was my first time in 3 years, I couldn’t help but look forward to it.

It was more of a test than a feeling of revenge.

This is a test that allows you to see how much you have grown over the years.

“Badstuber? “Do you know who he is?”

“I’ve been stuck before.”

“oh. “Did you win or lose?”

“I lost then.”

“Hey~”

So I definitely wanted to win this time.

However, there were limits to doing well alone.

If we don’t solve the team’s weak point of defense, it’s like pouring water into a bottomless pit.

That’s why Hoyoung said.

“brother. Look here. “The player here, Thomas Müller, is the opponent we need to be most careful of tomorrow.”

“How do you know that?”

“I tried it. Last year.”

“Oh really? But isn’t there a player you haven’t been involved with? So you won?”

“I won once and lost once. So, we must win tomorrow.”

“haha. “My brother will back you up, so you just score goals.”

“thank you. Then, let me tell you something.”

“what?”

“How to deal with Badstuber.”

Of course, I do not know the law of destruction.

However, if you don’t do anything, it won’t be completely effective.

Because I had the experience of hanging out with him three years ago.

So that night.

Special tutoring has begun for elementary school students who cannot live without money.

It didn’t end there.

Starting with Lee Cheong-ryong, the players who stopped by the room for a moment were gradually flocking to Ho-young’s bed.

At that time, the German national team’s dormitory.

The same phenomenon was happening here.

“Concentrate.”

“Uhm… um. okay. Keep talking. Be careful of Woo Ho-young? “Is he that great?”

“okay. I played against that guy last year. “In Germany.”

Conversation between Thomas Müller and Badstuber.

Müller, who played against the Dream Expedition last year, gave advice to his roommate Badstuber.

But Badstuber looked like he didn’t understand.

“Wasn’t it like that when I got there three years ago? I also hung out with that guy. in korea.”

“That was three years ago. There’s nothing wrong with being careful. The guy I met last year was the best Asian I’ve ever met. “You watched the video the director showed you together, right?”

“Ah~ That breakthrough video? “It was fast.”

Badstuber, who watched the 30-second play video, recognized Woo Ho-young’s breakthrough ability.

However, I wasn’t so worried that I couldn’t sleep.

For a guy who has eaten meat, he is a good eater, and he was the one who overwhelmed Hoyoung once three years ago.

I was confident.

‘Back then, I got sent off because I was too excited, but this time it’s different. When I get to the game, I can deal properly with him.’

Badstuber hoped that tomorrow would come quickly.
