105. Showdown Between Prodigies(1)

105. Showdown between prodigies (1)

[Woo Ho-young's fantastic first goal! This gives Castile the lead. It's a smooth start!]

[That's amazing. More than anything, I was impressed by the restraint of the play. That is only possible with calmness.]

There was a complicated process that cannot be fully explained in words until the score was achieved.

What is important is that one work has been successfully completed.

This laid the foundation for victory.

What remains is completed.

However, the aftermath of the first goal did not go away for a while even after the game resumed.

This also applies to Korea, where it is broadcast live in real time.

There was an explosive response, with countless posts being posted on various soccer forums.

[goal! Goo Oo !!!!!!]

└ I

'm crazy └ The director's face

lol He's not easy either. He's tough.

└But the important thing is that it's only the first 30 minutes.

It's only the first 30 minutes.

The two camps at the Alfredo Di Stefano Stadium had sharply different reactions.

Unlike Castile, which had a festive atmosphere, Barcelona B did not have a separate portrait collection, and among them, Busquets was particularly bad.

After losing his soul to Hoyoung, he felt like his vision was becoming distant.

'Ahh…'

My shoulders felt heavy.

The responsibility he took on was enormous.

At just 19 years old, he was currently a real pillar of Barcelona B.

Although he lacked the man-to-man marking and tackling skills required for a defensive midfielder, he was a player with exceptional spatial understanding and excellent positioning.

The record was also not good, but after Guardiola took office, it gradually improved and reached this point in 5 months.

Now he has gained the manager's favor and has become a candidate for promotion to the first team.

However, Barcelona's defensive midfielder position was full due to the new signing this season, Yaya Toure.

Therefore, for Busquets, today was an opportunity.

however.

'I don't think it will work.'

The person he faced, Woo Ho-young, was a monster.

If you come up with Plan A as a countermeasure, you will run away through the rat hole no matter what.

And it causes the other person to experience humiliation.

He seemed to enjoy it.

"…!"

At that moment, my eyes met with Woo Ho-young.

Smirk.

He was looking this way with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

'What…'

Busquets' face stiffened.

As my sweat cooled, I felt chills.

Creepy.

It went down my spine and wrapped around my whole body.

'Such… such a pervert…'

Perverts weren't just outside the field.

If there was Guardiola off the field, there was Woo Ho-young on the field.

Apparently, the nightmare wasn't over yet.

That time.

Hoyoung, who was looking at Busquets, couldn't stop his lips from twitching.

It was because of his talent.

[Sergio Busquets]

Talents

– Soccer genius (A+)

– Excellent spatial perception (A+2)

– Sharp judgment as sharp as a blade (A+)

– Excellent understanding of tactics (A)

– Excellent passing (A)

– (See more)

( When you meet the conditions, you can covet one talent.)

(Condition 1: Break through 3 times)

(Condition 2: Score 2)

If you do well, it was a talent you could obtain today.

That's why I had to focus.

There are still 50 minutes left in the game.

The opponent Hoyoung had to target was still Busquets.

'He is the type of person who controls space with superior mentality rather than technical skills.'

Busquets was not a player who cut the ball directly, but a player who held space and intercepted passes.

That was tricky, but at the same time, it was easy.

Since I was weak in interpersonal defense, all I had to do was break through through personal skills.

If Hoyoung moves to the left, Busquets can defend by moving back, forth, left, and right, but Hoyoung had various options.

Front and back, left and right.

It was a problem that could be solved by choosing one of them.

[After the first goal, the game follows a similar pattern. One side is trying to accelerate the game, and the other side is slowing it down.]

[However, Castile is ahead in possession with 64%. The pass success rate in the midfield and second line is also over 90%. The number of passes has already exceeded 220.]

[Does this mean that Castilla can score at any time?]

On the other hand, Bojan Krkic, who was highly anticipated today, was quite slow in his movements.

The title of the best prospect of all time is almost meaningless.

[It seems like Boyan is being greatly influenced by tactics. He must have been greatly influenced by coach Pep Guardiola. [He's not able to fully demonstrate his talents because he's playing to suit the coach's tastes.]

[You're not able to adapt to the team color. When the team dies, the individual dies as well.]

[That's right.]

What the commentators said was accurate.

Bojan occasionally made threatening moves, but they did not lead to decisive opportunities.

However, it did not have a significant impact on the game.

It wasn't like this originally.

Just today.

The mentality of Busquets, who was supposed to be the link between offense and defense, was shattered, and even Boyan was stranded.

It was right then.

[The ball hit Boyan's foot and touched out. Castilla takes the throw-in.]

[Players go down from the center to look at the space.]

Throw-in from the Castile camp.

The dedicated player was Castilla's left winger Gorka.

Woo Ho-young came down slightly to the left touchline to receive the ball.

At the same time, Coach Guardiola stayed close to the touchline and individually adjusted the positions of the players.

"Focus on Woo Ho-young! "Don't take your eyes off me!"

Guardiola's voice was directed to Hoyoung.

Hoyoung's eyes darkened.

For a moment, their gazes met in the air.

When a close-up of the scene was displayed on the electronic display, some of the audience let out exclamations of exclamation.

This is because I could feel the blood boiling in both people.

However, there was a big difference between the two.

The point is that Guardiola is a manager.

He was not allowed to cross the touchline and enter the pitch.

All he could do was raise his voice.

However, Hoyoung was able to roam the field directly.

That was the biggest difference between the two and Guardiola's clear limitation.

And then.

Percussion.

Castilla's attack began when Gorka threw the ball with all his might and landed at Hoyoung's feet.

Gai Assulin tried to get there, but Hoyoung's smooth turn gave him a way out.

It was from then on that the flow on the pitch changed.

From slow attack to quick attack.

Before we knew it, the ball had crossed midfield and was threatening Barcelona's defense.

[Woo Ho-young is running! It's a solo over 20 meters! Before you know it, you're crossing the half line and running towards the penalty area! Run again… Ah! The tempo is slowed down here. Is it Ji-gong again?]

[That's not the real problem. Space is being created everywhere. The Castilla players rode the momentum. It's really on the rise. This is a headache for Barcelona. Here, if I were to be late by just 1 or 2 seconds…]

Exactly 2 seconds passed while the commentators raised their voices.

But the situation still went against Barcelona.

widely.

This time, Hoyoung's pass was aimed at the left back space.

"run!"

Gorka, who received the pass, immediately gave a return pass to Hoyoung.

[Woo Ho-young! We are constantly creating space with tireless off-the-ball movement. Busquets, who has to hold space, is losing his mind!]

[Even ten bodies are not enough. You can't block a move like that on your own. We have to cooperate.]

[Ah, did Guardiola take Woo Ho-young too lightly?]

[No. Barcelona's tactics were entirely tailored to Woo Ho-young. It was not that they took Woo Ho-young lightly, but they were overconfident in Busquets.]

Busquets, who was firmly positioned in the third line, moved in all directions to suppress the situation, but it was not enough.

"What a piece of shit!"

When I came to my senses, Barcelona had already been devastated.

The situation unfolded in a variety of ways every time I blinked.

Woo Ho-young created space with his individual skills and opened up the space behind him with a surprise side pass.

When the return pass came back, he hit and ran to get in front.

Because attention was focused in that direction, the mark on the top player, Callejon, became lax.

'Holy shit…'

I couldn't figure out which melody to go to.

There was not a single area that was in good condition.

And at the center stood Woo Ho-young.

"개새끼가!"

Busquets was so angry that he let out a bunch of curses.

It was then.

"Don't shake! Look at the situation from a macro perspective! The wingers are joining the defense! "Concentrate more and persevere!"

Guardiola's voice pierced my ears.

At the same time, what he said came to my mind.

-Busquets You have to be prepared for all of Woo Ho-young's irregular plays. If successful, you will move up to the first team.

Guardiola's words when he promised Busquets a call-up.

Those words awakened Busquets.

It was at that time that the all-out war with Woo Ho-young began.

'come.'

Busquets gritted his teeth.

The same goes for Hoyoung.

'Goes.'

With Busquets in front of him, Hoyoung played psychological warfare.

'side?'

There was no time to think deeply.

That one second will determine success or failure.

One second has passed.

'no.'

The side penetration was abandoned.

This is because Barcelona's wingers were seen returning to participate in the defense.

As the defensive numbers increased, the left and right sides became heavier.

At the same time, the fullbacks were coming into the center, and the inside of the box was about to become difficult.

'There it is.'

There was a gap right there.

That brief moment when you are about to move from the 'danger' to the 'safe' stage.

Aimed for a transitional period.

"…!"

A silent signal was sent to Callejon at the front.

Callehon could tell what Hoyoung meant just by looking at those eyes.

Originally, it was the striker's role to open the attack route.

However, it is the role of the playmaker to make that possible.

Zidane's talent.

That talent has now become Hoyoung's.

"gat!"

Percussion!

Hoyoung's ground ball passed between Busquets' legs.

Busquets hurriedly closed his legs, but the ball had already flowed into the box.

"ah!"

It's already late.

In front of the door.

Jose Callejon, who received the pass, was rolling the ball with his back to the defense.

Everyone's eyes turned to Callejon.

Busquets also instinctively ran to Callejon.

If I just cut that out, I could get over this situation.

but.

Rather than resolve the issue directly, Callejon turned to the right.

The pressure on my back was quite strong, but I held on with all my might.

And then I saw Hoyoung coming in from the other side.

I pushed a ground ball pass towards that direction at the right time.

It was not a pre-arranged play.

It was a 2-on-1 pass that resulted from teamwork built on trust.

Percussion!

The person who received the pass was Hoyoung.

It was a very quick pass, but with artistic ball control, he gently caught the ball as if he was handling it like a baby.

and.

'It's open.'

When the shooting angle was fully opened, Hoyoung continued with his in-step shooting.

It was a cool shot without hesitation.

A decisive blow that brings hell to Barcelona.

Crash!

The net shook greatly.

"That's right!!"

Callejon, who provided the assist, followed Hoyoung.

Hoyoung headed toward the audience with his arms spread wide.

"Hooooo!"

"Ooooooooooo!"

A loud cheer erupted as if lightning had struck the audience.

The heat reached its peak.

Hoyoung took the first half.
