GOAT: All Football Talents Are Mine

192. Fearful Woo Ho-young (3)

"Then we will distribute the food to the left flank, so wait."

"yes."

When Puyol switched to central defender, Real Madrid switched to attacking with a long ball focus.

Woo Ho-young and Van Nistelrooy, who stood as the top two, took control of the air superiority, and Robben and Raul switched positions to accelerate cross play.

Barcelona, who had been in control of the game, could no longer stand at an advantage.

Real Madrid, who were good at cutting the ball, were caught off guard and things went hectic.

The second half was truly a continuation of war.

Eto'o fell after Pepe's back tackle and was injured, but thanks to the minor injury, he was able to take first aid and continue the game.

But it didn't end there.

Next, Raúl fell and injured his wrist, and he too played the game with only first aid.

It was okay up to that point.

However, Argen Robben, who was tackled later, was seriously injured and was replaced by Malouda.

All 22 players were engaged in a fierce battle, showing their fighting spirit.

As a result, 12 yellow cards were issued until the 65th minute of the second half.

And when Iniesta fell with a sprained ankle, Pepe was given a red card.

At the same time, Iniesta also left the stadium, being replaced by Alexander Hleb.

The game seemed to be going towards Barcelona, but the situation took an unpredictable turn when Alves, who was marking Malouda, hit his wrist with the studs of his soccer shoe.

It soon led to a gang fight.

The situation calmed down only after veterans such as Puyol and Raul Zidane stopped the players.

And the balance between the two teams was achieved.

It was Alves' exit.

[Alves tries to ask for leniency with an aggrieved expression, but the referee just takes out a red card.]

[It's a natural thing to do. It was obvious to anyone that it was intentional.]

Soccer players are also humans, so when the game gets too heated, there are times when they become unable to control themselves.

A soccer player famous for biting his opponents once said this.

-When I'm so absorbed in the game, I sometimes lose my mind.

Now was that time.

[The two teams are currently only 1 point apart. If you make one wrong pass, the trophy in front of you could fly away.]

[That's right. If Barcelona continues like this, their chances of winning will be very high. Even though there are league games left, the remaining opponents are all weak, right?]

[On the other hand, Real Madrid needs to hurry up a little more. We need to increase the number of attacks or take risks.]

The score is still 0-0.

Real Madrid's players became desperate and pushed forward with their attack.

As this happened, the game became more and more heated, and intense emotional battles became intertwined, and players who were usually mentally weak began to lose control.

Then, around the 72nd minute of the second half.

bang!

Pique's silent back tackle caused Hoyoung to fall sideways.

This happened while Puyol and Busquets were marking Hoyoung.

Beep!

As soon as the whistle sounded, a player rushed towards Pique.

"What a bastard!"

Until just now, it was Captain Raoul who took care of the team members' mental health.

But he changed 180 degrees.

He was grabbing Pique by the collar and swearing in his face.

"You wanna die?"

"Can you be that guy's discipline teacher?"

"See you in the national team. "I will tell you clearly what mistake you did today."

Raoul threatens and makes the atmosphere unpleasant.

Seeing Hoyoung holding his shin in pain, his eyes widened completely and he looked like he was going to swing his fist at any moment.

I'm not usually that kind of person, but this time I couldn't just ignore it.

This is because the frequency of tackles could be reduced a little by scaring them at least like this.

It was one of the ways to protect Hoyoung.

The tense situation calmed down only after Carles Puyol arrived.

"Pique! Come on!"

As Puyol calmed down Pique and took him away, Raul gave Hoyoung his hand and asked.

"Are your legs okay?"

"Huh… yes."

Hoyoung, who received first aid from the medical team, jumped up while holding Raoul's hand.

"It's better than I thought?"

"what? good?"

"yes. "I don't know why, but my body is itching and I'm going crazy."

People are like that sometimes.

If you become too absorbed in the game like other players did before.

The phenomenon of excessive secretion of adrenaline also occurred to Hoyoung.

"How many minutes are left now?"

"About 30 minutes?"

"It would be perfect to score a goal every 10 minutes."

"what?"

The starting point is now.

[Woo Ho-young adjusts the approach distance. Roberto Carlos and Zinedine Zidane were standing right next to the ball.]

[Is Ho-Young Woo trying to hit it himself? I think Carlos would be better because it's a good spot to kick with the left foot.]

[But I don't know. It is already a proven fact that Woo Ho-young's left foot is also powerful. Victor Valdez's goalkeeper's shoulders will be heavy.]

Victor Valdez kept that in mind and prepared himself mentally.

'There is a high probability that Woo Ho-young will kick it.'

Hoyoung's kicking sense has definitely improved these days.

You could tell just by looking at Julio Cesar's finger injury in the match against Inter.

Pep Guardiola also told us to keep that in mind.

Valdes delicately adjusted the defensive wall and did not allow the slightest gap.

It was that moment.

[Carlos takes a step! Shoouuuut!]

[Ah! It just passes by!]

Trick.

It was Hoyoung who made the landing right after.

The distance from the goal is 25 meters.

The foot is left.

All the talent needed for a powerful free kick is ready.

It was then that the ball roared towards the goal.

Crash!

"…?"

Wow!

There was nothing to see.

The ball, which was hit accurately and strongly, landed quickly and heavily in the upper right corner.

Valdes moved to block, but only briefly.

Because the angle was straight and there was a turn, I couldn't even read the direction properly.

[If Xavi, who was standing as a defensive wall, had been a little taller, he might have been able to block it, but what's the use of all that? The mid-range shooting that came from monster-like shooting power and technical skills was nothing short of a lethal weapon. [He probably couldn't have stopped it even if he knew.]

Real Madrid's first goal came in about 70 minutes.

Hoyoung stood in front of the audience, tightly clutching the emblem on his uniform. But that was just the beginning.

Barcelona, whose morale was so broken, was unable to withstand Real's offensive and ended up conceding an additional goal after 5 minutes.

In the 72nd minute of the second half, they faced an even bigger crisis when Gerard Pique, who had been blocking Woo Ho-young's infiltration, was sent off.

9 vs 10 fight.

It was too late to turn back.

Guardiola tried to set up two lines of defense to prevent further goals being conceded, but the problem of too much space remained.

For Woo Ho-young, space was like the best weapon.

And he didn't miss the opportunity and went crazy.

Beep –

By the time the game ended, everyone in the stadium was in shock.

The madridistas were shocked because they loved it so much, and the fans from Catalonia were so shocked that it wouldn't be surprising if they fainted right away.

[5 to 0. What does this mean? I think today will probably be remembered as the worst day for Barcelona.]

[There are things Real Madrid did well, but it feels like Barcelona did worse than that. Was it because I used up all my energy in the game against Manchester United a few days ago?]

[I guess that's probably the case. But most of all, Woo Ho-young's goal-scoring ability, who achieved a hat trick, was a work of art. I think I'll have a new tinnitus tomorrow. 'Barcelona Killer.']

[If there were no minor injuries or aftereffects, everything would be perfect.]

With this, Real Madrid rose to first place in the league with a 2-point difference.

If they win all four remaining games, they will be the winner.

And on this day, Hoyoung sought Messi's 'unrivaled soccer sense (SS+2)' by satisfying the condition of 'winning by more than 2 points'.

In addition, Henry succeeded in obtaining the 'King's Surveillance Kick (SU)' by satisfying the requirements of 'winning', 'scoring with an in-side kick', and 'recording 5 attack points in El Clásico'.

The hell schedule didn't end there.

Three days later, the second leg of the Champions League semifinals was held at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The supporters chanted Juanito cheers seven minutes after the game started.

It was Real Madrid's traditional ritual to come out in the 7th minute of the first half when the result needed to be overturned.

Perhaps thanks to this, Real Madrid took the lead from the beginning.

Mourinho's worries deepened.

I had been planning a strategy based on what I felt after the draw in the first game, but I ended up in a big dilemma.

When we started attacking actively, our defense was too lax.

Not surprisingly, Vieira was unable to play due to suspension, and Sulley Muntari played in his place, but he did not work well with Cambiasso.

He was instructed to put as much pressure as possible on Woo Ho-young in the first line, but the two's movements were confused and it was not effective.

'Holy shit.'

Mourinho swallowed dry saliva.

It felt like the gears I had been preparing were being misaligned.

To make matters worse, Francesco Toldo played in place of Julio Cesar, who was unable to appear due to injury, but he continued to look uneasy.

[Goalkeeper Francesco Toldo, who is 2 meters tall. Is it a lack of game sense? Even his specialty, handling aerial balls, is showing a lack of performance.]

[It would be dangerous if Real Madrid continued to cross. Van Nistelrooy and Woo Ho-young, who are the top two, are suppressing Inter's defense in the air.]

[It seems to be going in a similar fashion to El Clasico a few days ago.]

Real Madrid spurred side play, saying you have to strike while the iron is hot.

In the midfield, Sneijder and Diarra built up a stable build-up, and in the second line, Malouda and Zidane delivered sharp crosses.

At the same time, communication was constantly exchanged.

"Young, from now on I will continue to give you short sessions for the next 15 minutes, so get ready. And from then on, I'll put it right in the middle."

"All right."

Hoyoung, who set up a new strategy with Zidane, entered the box and wandered between defenders.

It was around this time that the defenders' movements became chaotic when crosses began to arrive in the center of the box.

Crash!

[Gooooooooo!]

[The ball that hit Hoyoung Woo's head is deflected off the defender's foot!]

"Hoo!"

Hoyoung, who scored a goal in the 30th minute of the first half, showed off his heavy rain ceremony for the first time in a while.

I was even more thrilled because it was a score that overturned the overall score.

That moment.

"Ooooooooooo!"

Colleagues rushed in and hit Hoyoung like a tsunami.

The Bernabeu was engulfed in enthusiasm after Woo Ho-young's goal.

The overall score was 3 to 2.

Even if they conceded one goal here, they could have advanced to the final according to the away goals rule.

There was only one step left until the finals.

[Can you believe it? Ho-Young Woo has scored his 8th Champions League goal!]

[With this, he is tied with Lionel Messi. Is it really possible that Woo Ho-young will win the Golden Shoe in the Champions League?]

Currently, Messi and Woo Ho-young are first in the Champions League scoring rankings with 8 goals.

Just below him, Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo was close behind with 7 goals.

There was a good chance that we could advance to the finals.

And in the end, the game was not overturned.

Inter equalized in the second half, but their chase ended there.

Beep –

The result of the game is 1 to 1.

With a final score of 3-3, Real Madrid, who scored more goals in the away game, advanced to the final.

The opponent in the final is either Manchester United or Barcelona.

The moment for the season finale was approaching.
