All Football Talents Are Mine Chapter 65

065. French Legend (9)

Korean soccer fans predicted Korea would win this time as in the previous opening game, but the game did not go as planned.

A trump card for France, who was unable to play in the opening match due to injury.

It was because of Moussa Sissoko, the leader in so-called ‘body-heavy soccer.’

‘It’s much better than what you see on TV.’

Sissoko.

Even if you are not a soccer fanatic, any fan of the EPL team Tottenham will know his name.

He was quite famous and was said to have already shown a certain level of skill during his youth.

Hoyoung sympathized with him.

‘It’s not wrong.’

Sissoko, located in central midfield, dominated the midfield throughout the game based on his incredible physicality.

Korea’s central midfielder Koo Ja-young was often pushed out when competing for the ball, and the ball distribution was not smooth.

Musa Sissoko, born in 1989.

It was literally a beast.

But what’s even more surprising is that I don’t even get tired.

He showed off his crazy presence based on his vigorous activity level and superior physical strength.

It was impossible to even open one’s eyes to see that the wide midfield had been taken over by just one person.

After Hoyoung moved down to the attacking midfielder under coach Park Kyung-woon’s instructions, ball distribution became easier, but the isolation in the midfield could not be completely resolved.

“Tsk.”

How long has this been?

It was the first time in a while that Hoyoung felt a wall.

It felt like I was encountering an old castle that would never be torn down.

In Brazil, most players focused on technical skills, so they had never experienced such brutality.

Sissoko is 180cm tall and weighs nearly 80kg.

For Hoyoung, he was a new challenge.

‘It’s much heavier than Sacco.’

Fortunately, Sissoko was able to exploit the loopholes because the basics and soccer intelligence required for soccer were inferior compared to the blessed hardware.

‘Head’ There was a saying that if he was good, he could grow into the next Vieira.’

Patrick Vieira.

He was the best central midfielder at the moment, capable of covering the entire midfield on his own based on his strong physical and athletic abilities.

This type of player is called a box to box midfielder, and players in this position are not limited to being embedded in the defense, but are also responsible for sweeping the field like a car wiper.

Both Sissoko and Vieira are French box-to-box players, but there are huge differences between the two.

Intellect.

Hoyoung decided to take advantage of Sissoko’s declining intelligence.

It was from that moment on.

Even though Hoyoung is an attacking midfielder, he went down to the third line and took the ball directly.

It was a move to forcefully restore the flow of the midfield, which had been interrupted.

‘Whether Sissoko is using a broom in midfield or not, all you have to do is avoid it.’

I know that if I clash with him, I will lose, but there is no need to fight him.

If Sissoko tries to clean up the midfield with tremendous activity, all he has to do is counter him and disturb the midfield with his vigorous activity.

The abundant amount of activity (B-) obtained from Oscar made it possible.

The effect appeared in 5 minutes.

‘damn.’

Sissoko, who was increasingly busy chasing after Hoyoung in addition to his previous role, began to feel increasingly short of breath.

At the same time, the tight midfield began to gradually become looser.

At the same time, the Korean team’s ball distribution gradually became smoother.

‘Like that rat.’

The game was turning around when that 13-year-old boy came down to the third line.

“You crazy bastard!”

“what.”

“Come here! “Don’t run away!”

“What is he saying now.”

Regardless of what Sissoko said or not, Hoyoung just focused on the game.

“What a dog.”

Sissoko was very annoyed by that sight.

The sight of Hoyoung rushing around felt utterly disgusting.

‘That’s handsome?! It looks like it has a milky smell.’

Sissoko was already displeased with the media focusing on Woo Ho-young.

This is because he was left behind in his need to receive media attention.

So I got grumpy.

Unfortunately, he, who was supposed to debut as a professional next year, had no sense of professionalism yet.

A period of furious tempest and fury.

Moreover, although he had a much better physique compared to his peers, he had no control over his strength.

And above all.

‘Because this is our stadium.’

Pow!

“Tsk.”

25 minutes in the first half.

During the ball competition, Moussa Sissoko pushed Hoyoung away with his broad shoulders.

It was a wrong action to hit with excessive force rather than a normal shoulder charge.

The referee’s whistle, which should have sounded, turned out to be nothing.

‘Be generous.’

Usually, referees in youth games are strict, but the referee in today’s game was relatively lenient.

I wondered if it would be like this if I played in the English Premier League (EPL), which is very tolerant of physical fights.

Even after that, the referee did not call a foul, and perhaps because of this, only Hoyoung got into a rough fight.

‘No kidding.’

Once the concentration mark came in, I couldn’t come to my senses.

Whoa!

It was common for physical fights to break out wherever we went, and there were many cases where people fell down.

Nevertheless, a foul was never called.

Home advantage.

It may be biased, but it was an unavoidable part of the nature of the sport.

I had no choice but to accept and accept it.

‘I’ve played in worse games than this.’

If there’s anything to blame, it’s Hoyoung’s skills that can’t make up for the difference in strength.

For Hoyoung, Sissoko was nothing short of a disaster.

If Mamadou Sakho was a wild boar, Sissoko was like a rhino.

Naturally, my body inevitably became intimidated, and this affected my play and was reflected in the results.

1 shot and 1 breakthrough in the first 40 minutes.

It was a performance that would be difficult to consider as the team’s ace.

French coach Laurent’s ‘Woo Ho-young customized response strategy’ worked well.

Hoyoung proposed space infiltration as a solution, but shockingly, it was blocked every time.

‘He runs faster than me too.’

Hoyoung may have been faster when it came to on-the-ball speed (hitting and running), but the important thing was that the opportunity to do so did not materialize.

I couldn’t hit and run because I couldn’t even do the most basic ball keeping.

To make matters worse, it really is.

As it is, neither porridge nor rice will work.

A solution was needed.

If you, the team’s crack guy, keep trying to kill yourself, you can’t win the game.

‘Let’s think about it.’

Carlos’ words about using your head actively when your body becomes passive came to mind.

Wait a minute.

‘Hold on. first.’

There was only one answer.

All you have to do is hold on until ‘that moment’ comes.

The unfavorable situation continued until the end of the first half.

Likewise, Hoyoung’s slump continued.

Musa Sissoko gets hit here and there.

Although the age range only increased by one year from U15 to U16, the difference was so great that it could be felt with the skin.

‘The U17 World Cup will be much more difficult.’

A World Cup where you have to compete against high school students.

Although they can only fly at U16, they cannot perform properly if the physical difference is overwhelming.

Because Hoyoung is not yet a monster like Pele or Maradona.

In the end, it was France who opened the gun first.

Slosh!

“yes!”

In the 43rd minute of the first half, a wave of blue covered the ground.

It was a celebration by the French players who scored the first goal.

“Damn it.”

Can not be done.

Even if the game doesn’t work out, it doesn’t work out too well.

Hoyoung felt frustrated, as if his throat was clogged.

The Brazilian’s unique football style did not work at all.

The English Premier League, which is characterized by strong physical competition, is not called the graveyard of Brazilians for nothing.

Fortunately, the midfield continued to distribute the ball with long pass-oriented play, but France’s defensive line resembled a battlefield.

It was the time of Hoyoung’s suffering.

still.

“wake up!”

“Yumma! Wake!”

I came to my senses to the cheering sounds of my ten colleagues and the Korean audience telling me to cheer up.

Fighting spirit.

With that one thing, I stood up like a roly-poly.

Even if I fell and bumped into something, I got up again.

And I avoided it.

“song!!”

Hoyoung struggled, blood forming in his neck.

It’s the last game anyway.

I ran around with the determination to sacrifice everything.

45 minutes in the first half.

Lee Cheong-ryong and Seok Hyeong-jun were busy moving around and looking for different attack routes.

There were no individual skills or breakthroughs, but the occasional mid-range shot gave vitality to the attack.

The voices of Koreans shouting “Republic of Korea!” were energizing the game everywhere.

“let’s go!”

The embers that had been extinguished were coming back to life little by little in the end.

It was that moment.

Percussion!

Koo Ja-young’s key pass rushed to the goal.

“…!”

One-on-one situation with the goalkeeper.

Lee Cheong-ryong caught the ball and hit the shot with all his might.

“ah!”

However, the soccer ball that was hit with force rolled around and landed gently in the goalkeeper’s arms.

It was at a time like this that the girl shot came out!

“Ahh!”

South Korea has fallen into the abyss of despair.

Beep!

The first half ended with France, who played clean and perfect soccer, leading the game 1-0.

A boy walked towards Hoyoung, who was sitting helplessly on the floor.

“Are you okay?”

The dark-skinned boy was Moussa Sissoko, who single-handedly controlled the game.

“cheer up. It’s not over yet. Ugh.”

He comforted Hoyoung with his characteristic eye smile and good manners.

Anyone could see that there was malicious intent.

And it was the leisure of someone who was moving ahead.

When Sissoko clenched his fist and made a motion to cheer up, Hoyoung, who guessed what he meant, nodded.

“thanks. “Be sure to cheer up.”

It was understandable that he was discouraged, but he didn’t show it at all.

I took a look at Sissoko, who was smiling innocently.

I meant it.

‘I’m really working hard.’

The match has just begun.

When the Korean team players entered the locker room after the end of the first half, coach Park Kyung-woon gave a heated explanation of tactics for nearly 10 minutes.

Of course, I don’t know if this will work, but it was better than not doing anything.

Rather than losing like this, I had to try something.

Coach Park Cheol-woo also had the opinion that Ho-young, who was particularly weak, should be replaced, but coach Park Gyeong-woon did not accept it.

“You keep saying crazy things.”

“But no matter how much I think about it, I think it’s going to be difficult like this. It would be better to bring in Nam Woo-jeong, who is physically good….”

“There’s still time left.”

“Hmm….”

“You dude. Do you know why a soccer ball is round?”

“why?”

“If you don’t know, go ahead and think about it. Don’t say anything weird next to me.”

The director, who had pushed Park Cheol-woo aside, went to see Ho-young and gave him encouragement.

Of course, what Coach Park Cheol-woo said also had a point.

However, coach Park Kyung-woon wanted to trust Hoyoung until the end.

This is because Hoyoung was the main character who helped Korea, which had difficulty even advancing to the semifinals, get to this point in the first place.

Likewise, I thought that the only key player who could turn this game around was Woo Ho-young.

“Thank you for your trust.”

And Hoyoung got a chance to live up to those expectations.

The moment I had been waiting for just before leaving the locker room had finally arrived.

[We succeeded in completely bringing in the soccer prodigy (S-).]

Today’s date is March 28th.

Neymar’s talent show, which he coveted 40 days ago, has finally come to an end.

Moreover, it did not end there.

Philippe Coutinho, Monica Lee Cheong-ryong, Mamadou Sakho, Thomas Müller Hummels, Toni Kroos, Shinji Kagawa.

Their talent, which I had previously coveted, poured out like a fountain.

[I covet outstanding agility (B-).]

[I covet an innate sense of language (B).]
