Red card.

This is a system introduced by FIFA and is usually given when a player commits a serious foul.

For example, it is likely to occur when an obvious scoring opportunity is blocked in an unsportsmanlike manner or when a violent act is committed.

Therefore, it can be seen as the highest penalty that can be given to a player during a game, but it does not end with simply being sent off.

In particular, in the case of the Brazilian Super Championship, players who are ejected will be suspended from playing in the next two games.

In other words, even if Sao Paulo FC advances to the quarterfinals, Oscar will not advance to the quarterfinals.

'This is outrageous.'

Hoyoung's head tilted.

Oscar didn't kick him, but it inevitably happened while he was trying to balance while falling.

But what about a red card?

Sao Paulo FC's players ran to protest to the referee, but he did not give up and began writing their names on the card.

"Name vs."

"I really made a mistake?"

"This is your final warning. Name vs."

"eww…!"

Oscar's face gets hot and he looks like he's going to throw a tantrum at any moment.

Seeing that, Hoyoung immediately rushed over.

"Get out for now."

"Mr… Oscar dos Santos…"

Only then did Oscar open his mouth.

The referee's expression, which had been very distorted, relaxed slightly.

"Get out of the stadium."

Fortunately, despite the misfortune, additional disciplinary action was avoided.

Oscar left the stadium with a distorted face.

You must never complain to the referee.

This is what I was taught to the point of disgust during mental education classes.

It is said that only the captain can protest the referee on behalf of the team, but in fact, no one can protest the referee's decision.

The same goes for captains, managers, and coaches.

It is also not a problem to give a warning or expulsion to a player who protests a decision.

It is said that cases of gentle protest can be overlooked, but in extreme cases, there are cases where a coach is sent off for appealing to the referee.

Therefore, protesting against the referee should be avoided at all costs.

So Sao Paulo FC has also been educated in that way… but you don't know that unless you experience it yourself.

It is an injustice that cannot be expressed in words.

"Oh my…"

Hoyoung sighed as he looked at Oscar's sad exit.

'It must be unfair. I feel unfair too.'

I could fully understand Oscar's feelings.

It was definitely wrong to rebel against the referee, but in fact, Oscar endured a lot.

I trained specially for 4 days for this game.

Additionally, I took a bus for five hours today to arrive at the stadium.

Just to run for 8 minutes.

If the reason for leaving was justifiable, I wouldn't have been so angry.

"under."

It was so absurd that I burst out laughing.

'Give me a red card for that?'

It is not often that a referee issues a red card in a soccer game.

Even if a player makes a fairly rough tackle, there are cases where a yellow card is issued.

But this….

'The home advantage is too severe.'

They said that the arms were bent inward, and that was exactly right.

In particular, since the Super Championship is a competition that determines the best state in the country, the home advantage was strong.

I had no choice but to say it was bad luck.

'okay. Luck is also a skill.'

instead.

'I will definitely win.'

I made up my mind.

If luck is a skill, I will deal with you with real skill.

9 minutes in the first half.

As soon as Oscar was ejected, coach Carlos urgently called the team's captain, Breno.

"Give up possession, block passes as much as possible, and play in a way that doesn't give up shooting angles. "Avoid unnecessary physical fights."

"yes."

"We're going with a connected zero top tactic. Douglas is lowered and Woo Ho-young is placed on false 9. "Do you understand?"

"yes."

It was an unavoidable change in tactics.

Even if the number of attacks was reduced, the flow of the game should not be taken away, even if it meant giving up half a court to the opponent.

This is not U13.

This means that it is not a place for learning, but a semi-professional world where you have to show your skills.

Therefore, no matter what the process was, the result was important.

Victory.

For that purpose, Sao Paulo used practical soccer.

In order to focus on tight defense but leave room for attack, Hoyoung was placed as the false nine.

False 9.

If translated directly, it is a false number 9 and is located at the forefront, but in terms of actual duties, it refers to a complex role of moving down to the midfield and supporting.

To put it simply, 'a midfielder wearing the guise of a striker.'

As for what kind of grand role to give to the youth, it was like asking them to help the midfield in order to develop an organized and structured development during counterattacks.

That's how important the mission given to Hoyoung was.

Offense and defense as well as back fighting.

The only person I could trust was Hoyoung.

Hoyoung worked hard not to betray the director's trust.

He supported the midfielders in the midfield and sometimes went lower to focus on the defenders.

He actively participated in the defense and helped block the ball in the midfield.

And avoid excessive physical fights.

Everything was being done according to the director's orders.

but.

'If you keep going like this, you'll lose.'

If everything goes as you want, what kind of soccer is that?

Despite constant efforts, Sao Paulo FC was struggling.

The gap between one person was bigger than expected.

'And the number of enemy attacks is too high.'

This was not a problem that could be solved by increasing the number of defensive players.

On the other hand, all you have to do is drastically increase the number of attacks over there.

That was the reason why Fluminense FC adopted extreme offensive tactics.

There are a whopping 65 minutes remaining.

Percussion!

Marcelo's solo breakthrough collapsed Sao Paulo's defense.

A simple breakthrough following the Marseille turn opened up the space behind the side in an instant.

"Tsk…!"

The Marcelo we saw in the first game was not there.

His condition must have been through the roof, and he was running wild today.

and.

Crash!

Marcelo's accurate cross gave Fluminense FC the lead.

25 minutes in the first half.

It was a diving header goal that came from in front of the goal.

"Damn it."

The momentum was lost.

Moreover, the cheers and boos of the home crowd were pushing Sao Paulo FC to the brink.

'Those guys play too rough. Even if you turn the ball, the forward pressure is too much.'

Even the best defense clearly had its limits.

The players had no choice but to instinctively become passive even when competing for the ball, so they played intimidatedly even when playing defense.

And above all, I had no motivation.

"Casemiro! Concentrate! "Look at the person!"

Hoyoung, who had come down to the third line and was participating in cooperative defense, scolded.

But Casemiro was not the only problem.

Brenu, who was wearing the captain's armband, also seemed to have lost his soul somewhere.

It soon led to the worst situation.

Slosh!

The sound of a net that seems to tear your earholes.

A mid-range shot allowed to Marcelo led to Sao Paulo FC's consecutive goals.

"Haaa…."

The first half was 2-0, giving Fluminense FC a complete victory.

"crazy!"

There was constant swearing in the visiting team's locker room.

"Does this make sense?"

Oscar had been angry ever since he was ejected from the field.

"You bastards!"

It was unfair.

It was even more so because the team was losing the game.

But his voice quieted as soon as Coach Carlos entered the locker room.

Then the players came in.

Each of them had an angry expression like Oscar's, distorted like crumpled paper.

He was dissatisfied with the referee's decision.

Same goes for Carlos.

"Those who couldn't get it back."

But the target of Carlos's anger was not the referee.

"What are they doing?"

Carlos' tiger-like eyes turned to the players.

It was only for a moment, but Hoyoung felt like he was in the military.

Yelling.

It was a warning to the players.

"Why is everyone so intimidated?"

"That's it… Naturally, the body has no choice but to become passive…"

Still, Breno was the captain, speaking on behalf of the players' voices.

It was immediately after that that Carlos asked a question.

"I told you to be careful about physical fights, but did I tell you to play passively? "When did I tell you to lose your motivation?"

No one answered that question.

No, I couldn't.

I thought that the team's manager would naturally comfort the players, but it turned out to be quite the opposite.

"You nasty bastards. Are you trying to sabotage business? Has this happened once or twice? Former director Giovanni may have thought something like that, but I can never tolerate something like that."

Carlos spoke passionately.

"You may be teenagers, but this is like a semi-professional stage. There is no one to watch you grow. "Where did I throw away all the professionalism lessons I've been teaching so far?"

"…."

Carlos, who was unusually talkative today, emphasized professionalism throughout his speech.

Hoyoung understood.

Losing motivation because you don't like the referee is no different from whining.

"I think everyone understands this much."

"Yes…"

Carlos also slightly eased his anger in response.

"I understand your actions. But our home fans and the club won't understand."

This is correct in every detail.

Carlos added finally.

"At least I have to show everything I've prepared."

"…!"

It was a conversation that hardly amounted to encouragement, but it was enough to revive the players' will.

After that, detailed explanations of tactics followed.

Carlos refined the tactics and reorganized each player's role.

The key points were 'endless patience', 'stubborn counterattack', and 'powerful yet clean pressure'.

5 minutes later before leaving the locker room.

Carlos said to Hoyoung.

"You did well earlier. "If you hadn't intervened, Oscar would have been suspended for more than three games instead of two."

From now on, even if we are on the same team, we need to tell people that they made a mistake when they did something wrong.

That's what it meant.

Then this time, Hoyoung expressed his frustration.

"But the pressure on the players is not working properly. "Because I was scared."

"I was scared…"

Serious question.

Carlos gave the answer to that question,

"If your body reacts passively, you have to use your head actively. That is what wisdom is. "That's why I put you on False Nine."

"…!"

"It may be difficult, but since the situation has reached this point, your role is important."

Hoyoung's face flushed as if he had come to some realization.

"All right."

And it was the moment when he was about to leave the locker room with a solemn look.

"Hey…"

Oscar's voice holding on to Hoyoung.

He, who was sitting in the corner, got up and spoke in a crawling voice.

"Okay, why did you stop me… "I'll just leave you alone…"

He said thank you and muttered softly as he returned to the bench.

Ask them to do their part too.

"okay."

That was enough of an answer, and with those words, Hoyoung went out onto the field with the players.

A drastic change occurred in Sao Paulo FC shortly after the second half began.
