096. Professionals are different (3)
The distance to the goal is about 14 meters.
In a one-on-one chance that came without warning, goalkeeper Javier Jimenez lowered his stance and defended the goal.
The 28-year-old was a veteran goalie.
Although his reflexes are not excellent, his ability to control the box and judge the situation are decent, so he made it to the middle or higher level in the second division.
Above all, because of his experience, he was also skilled in psychological warfare.
In particular, he showed a strong side to young players without professional experience.
The first goal was ridiculously successful because the defender blocked his view, but this time it was different.
One-on-one situation.
Of course, in one-on-one situations, the attacker basically has the advantage.
This is because a goalkeeper cannot cover every part of the goal, but an attacker can aim everywhere.
There is even a way to pass the goalkeeper's height with a lob shot.
So, what is important for goalkeepers is angle calculation.
This is a difficult task for any goalkeeper, but Jimenez was confident in it.
For a brief moment, his eyes changed sharply.
'come.'
On the other hand, Hoyoung was calm.
The calmness I desired from Lee Cheong-ryong and Ronaldo's true teachings helped me a lot.
From the moment I put the ball on my foot, I maintained peace in my mind.
I thought it was just an alley in front of my house.
He raced towards the goal and slowed down a little at the end.
Approximately 8 meters remaining.
Now it was time to make a decision.
Goalkeeper Jimenez's center of gravity was shifted downward.
He was seducing Hoyoung by slowly moving his feet to the left.
It was a psychological tactic to induce the opposing team to shoot.
Hoyoung did his best to avoid it.
This is because it was impossible to beat the experience of a goalkeeper who had been playing in the professional league for several years.
'Calm down.'
The important thing is to have the mindset of not being afraid of one-on-one encounters.
You shouldn't get excited either.
If you stay calm, good results will inevitably follow.
That's Emperor Ronaldo's secret to scoring goals.
Hoyoung hid his shooting stance until the last moment.
Clumsy psychological warfare could result in disaster, so we competed based solely on our skills.
Percussion.
He gave a quick and simple kick with a right foot instep.
At that moment, a cheerful sound rang out and
a crash!
The ball flew at bullet-like speed and landed exactly in the left corner of the goal net.
And at the same time.
"Ooooooooo!"
The cheers that erupted just before the end of the first half.
Thousands of spectators were excited as if a thunderstorm had struck the field.
"¡Esta excelente!!"
The best.
There was no other word that suited it.
Castilla's teammates ran behind him and hugged Hoyoung, celebrating the team's second goal.
[It's a goal! Woo Ho-young's second goal widens the gap between the two teams!]
[The spectators who came to the opening game today will never forget this moment. I am confident. Today's match will be praised and talked about for a long time. [It's] a fantastic debut for a young guy who will play on the world stage in the future.]
Jimenez's eyes, which had turned sharp, drooped.
It looked empty, and all it did was plop down on the grass.
On the other hand, Hoyoung laughed.
This goal had a very special meaning.
This is because the process was different from the numerous scores recorded so far.
Until now, if you had just blindly hit whatever you felt like, the shot just before was a score that signaled your start as a true goal getter.
Beep.
As the first half ended with Castilla's additional goal, a player's face appeared in large numbers on the electronic display.
"handsome!"
Woo Ho-young.
The image captured him turning his head to the right to get rid of his sweat-soaked bangs.
Then, when she swept her bangs upward, various reactions erupted from the audience.
"You look better with your bangs lifted."
"It's real after all. The title "Real" is not given to everyone. You have to look like that to be considered royal. cancer. "It's on a different level from the Barcelona guys."
It wasn't too much of a fuss.
Some audience members were so busy talking about the first half that they even forgot to go to the bathroom.
Coming to kill time before the Real Madrid first team match brought great luck.
Where can I go and see another game like this?
It was truly a blessing to be able to watch a game like this.
The lingering feeling never went away.
Exclamations of "Fantastico" poured out like a round song from everywhere.
The first half ended with Castile winning by a landslide.
Of course, Chairman Perez was more pleased than anyone else about this fact.
Perez's eyes and ears were busy as he watched the game from the VIP seats located at the highest point of the stands.
The voices of the club members who were sitting together flowed out.
"Bringing in Hoyoung Woo was a godsend. President Laporta must be quite sick to his stomach right now. "They didn't pay attention to Woo Ho-young even at the request of the Rexchach technical director."
"From what I heard, Pato has been chosen as the successor to Samuel Eto'o."
"ha ha ha. "They tell me to take at least a patu."
They were unusually over-the-top and indirectly praising the president's achievements.
Perez actually sent a love call to Pato during this transfer market, but was rejected.
The plan was to hire him as a sub for Robinho, but negotiations broke down due to Pato's agent requesting a 'guaranteed starting position'.
I had a lot of regret.
However, in the meantime, Hoyoung's great performance greatly reduced the regrets about Patou.
No matter how much Pato is called a post-Ronaldo, he will never be able to show this level of performance.
'It's the best day.'
It was a moment that proved that the investments made over the past 20 months were right.
Woo Ho-young.
I don't know how much money and effort was put into that little boy.
We have supported Hoyoung in all aspects, including personal coaching, diet, school, and housing.
'It was a godsend.'
In fact, when Perez first received Woo Ho-young's scouting report, he did not even give up.
I spoke bitterly to Antonio Soriano and told him to find out more about 'Pato'.
Who would have thought it would turn out like this?
"Heulheul."
Perez was able to get up from his seat in good spirits.
"Why don't you look any further?"
"That's enough. "Now I have to go to the Bernabeu."
It's the second half.
There was nothing more to see.
The game was still 2-0, but usually games like this are not overturned.
Perez was 90% sure.
Even though he was a politician, he was not someone who did not know soccer.
'Isn't there something that can be flipped over for it to flip over?'
The old man left the stadium with a deep laugh.
Deportivo Alaves locker room.
Stuffy air filled the room.
The game is now only 2-0.
Normally, we would have worked together to turn things around, but the atmosphere in the locker room was pitifully miserable.
I couldn't accept the fact that I had been abused by a 14-year-old.
In particular, Ivan Campo, the team captain, is 33 years old.
'I'm 19 years older than him.'
He couldn't accept that his entire team was destroyed by a kid who was only in middle school.
'Nonsense.'
How can someone play soccer like that at that age?
Shock and vague fear towards the soccer prodigy.
Most of the players who played in the first half were feeling it.
My mentality has been broken for a long time.
The atmosphere in the locker room became increasingly worse.
Since even the claim was in such a state, it was safe to say that there was absolutely no room for the article to be revived.
It was a difficult atmosphere to revive even with the arrival of coach Benitez, known as the wizard.
Nevertheless, Coach Raphael gathered the players and awakened their spirit.
"I just don't understand."
"…."
"Raise your head!"
"…."
"But can you still say you guys are professionals? How many years have you been rolling here? 1 year? 2 years? Aren't these guys who have been around for 5 or 6 years still embarrassed after being bullied by a middle school student? You are Basque warriors. Is that so?"
"That's right."
"Can you do it?"
"… yes."
"Our goal is the first division. Get out there and raise your head. And become the main character."
At those words, the Alaves players came out of the locker room with their spirits up.
The second half began when the home crowd erupted in loud cheers.
"Push!"
"You're throwing Ajak away!"
The game went similar to the first half.
However, Castilla's teamwork was not good, so they had to secure a win before going to the second half.
[Woo Ho-young is starting to come under pressure in earnest.]
[It looks okay now, but as the second half progresses, there will be problems with physical strength. Other players need to help a lot.]
Woo Ho-young was put under strong control.
The level was different from what I experienced in the Juvenil League.
Because I had to use a lot of energy at every moment, my stamina wasted much more.
But since it was the opening game today, I wanted to play full time.
I wanted to be the main character of the day.
I wanted to enjoy this feeling until the end.
However, it was not unreasonable.
I just kept moving forward.
Colleagues backed up Hoyoung.
The game went in a similar fashion to the first half.
There was no sign of a reversal.
The Basque warriors, Alaves, tried to stand up but fell down.
A harsh, cracked voice came from the stands and spread across the field.
"Woo woo! Woo woo!"
Impromptu slogans were soon covering the audience.
Castile fans, regardless of age or gender, seemed to be enthusiastic about the 14-year-old boy's play.
Hot air passed by the back of Hoyoung's neck.
I felt like this was a real stage.
They were truly fans of Real Madrid and themselves who sincerely supported them.
After the second half, the Alaves defense continued to keep a strong check, but Hoyoung used their cheering as a catalyst to play the full time perfectly.
Near the end of the second half.
The victory was completely tilted to one side.
3 to 0.
Alaves' players could not bear to raise their heads.
It was scary to even think about what articles would be published and what fans would hear after the game.
It was 10 minutes later that the long opening match ended.
Beep!
The main camera installed right below the stadium radio studio captured Hoyoung's face.
His image was displayed alone on the electronic display board.
Hoyoung stopped walking and squared his shoulders proudly.
and.
Standing in front of the screaming crowd, he strongly struck the emblem on his left chest with his clenched fist.
A crown given by King Alfonso XIII of Spain.
I grabbed it with my index finger and thumb and waved it at the camera.
It was the moment when a new crown prince, who received the energy of the emperor, was born in Castile.
After the game, an interview about the game was held in the basement press conference room.
Captain Miguel Torres, youngest member Woo Ho-young, and coach Mandilla were at the press conference.
The person who received the most questions was definitely Hoyoung.
A barrage of flashes rained down and numerous questions were asked, but Hoyoung suppressed his rising emotions and answered calmly.
"I would like to thank President Perez and Agent Rucci for helping me be here today. I would also like to thank Kaka, Maestro Ricardo, Zidane El Fenomeno and Ronaldo for making me who I am today. "As I convey my thoughts, I hope that this energy will be conveyed to Real Madrid's opening game in a little while."
In addition, he gave a rare quote.
"And I'm still hungry."
yet.
Around the time when the Secretariat of the Second Division (Segunda-Division) selected Woo Ho-young as the official MOM for the opening match.
Online articles published by the Madrid press adorned various portal sites.
[Woo Ho-young spreads his wings at Real Madrid, missed by Barcelona president Laporta]
At that time, someone was looking for a drink.
