097. Crazy dog is about a stick (1)
Sunday, August 26th.
The day after the opening match of the Spanish first division.
Profanity erupted at the El Sardinero stadium located in the port city of Santander.
They were Barcelona fans, also known as 'Cule'.
"Hey. "Do you think I came all this way to watch a game like this?"
Barcelona's fans left the stadium enraged.
When I traveled 500 kilometers away to watch the team's first game of the season, I ended up in a draw with Racing Santander, a mid-tier team.
What was even more surprising was that even though one of Racing's players was sent off, Barcelona failed to score even a single goal.
"Rijkaard, you crazy bastard. "Did you pay a lot of money to bring Henry here just to show him this kind of performance?"
"With a squad like that, you can't help but get a draw. Even if I supervise it, it would be better than that."
Barcelona coach Rijkaard has been active in the transfer market this summer.
They brought in defensive resources such as Yaya Toure and Gabriel Heinze Abidal, and at the same time brought in Arsenal's king Thierry Henry, making the hearts of soccer fans flutter.
Alien-Divine-Black Panther-King.
Barcelona was determined to take a leap forward by forming the strongest squad, the so-called Fantastic Four (Ronaudinho Messi, Eto'o Henry).
But when I opened the lid, the results were disastrous.
Organizational power and other things, the performance was literally below expectations.
That wasn't the only reason fans were angry.
I was even more angry that Real Madrid achieved a thrilling comeback win over Atletico Madrid in the opening match that took place just yesterday.
I was already feeling very upset because of that, but my stomach was boiling over because Barcelona couldn't win today's game.
"Damn bald bastards. What is the Dutch collection? "It's a bald collection."
Seeing Zidane Carlos Robben flying around for Real Madrid made me grumpy.
Moreover, it did not end there.
What made me just as angry was the articles that had been circulating in the media since last night.
[Woo Ho-young spreads his wings at Real Madrid Castilla, missed by Barcelona's President Laporta]
[Losed by a 14-year-old Alaves boy with an average age of 28.1]
[What Alaves players were able to do for 14 years was lifting 500,000 times and shooting 10 10,000 training hours, 14,000 hours, etc…. But defeat….]
[Woo Ho-young's multiple goals…. Unprecedented record in the history of the second division…. Castilla won 3-0…. It couldn't be more perfect than this. .]
[Barcelona B will have to be nervous due to President Perez's youth policy, which has taken Spain by storm.]
Youngest player and youngest scorer.
And Perez's success.
They really drove Kure crazy.
When criticizing Real Madrid, I used to criticize their youth policy, but now I can't do that anymore.
"Dirty old man Perez. "I got married in my later years."
"Tch."
They were more distressed by the fact that Real Madrid had obtained such a promising player than by the fact that Barcelona had lost a promising player named Woo Ho-young.
I definitely wanted Woo Ho-young, but it wasn't enough to criticize Chairman Laporta.
They had a divine Messi.
And because there was Bojan, who had greater potential than Messi, it was not necessary to bring in Ho-Young Woo.
but.
"It's not even funny. Is there any media in the world that covers articles like that? How much did you get from Perez? "We have to catch them all and throw them into media manipulation before they can come to their senses."
"Of course it's a great record. It is a great achievement that will never be seen again. But it's in the second division?"
"yes! Messi didn't show much success in the second division, but he is currently flying around in the first division. "The styles of the second division and the first division are completely different."
"I think Woo Ho-young is a step below Boyan. Bojan has scored 900 youth goals since joining Barcelona. Woo Ho-young has gone a long way. "What's the point of doing so well in your debut match?"
Numerous pubs in Barcelona.
Today's main snack was Woo Ho-young.
This is because, for them, they could only receive mental comfort by belittling Woo Ho-young.
It was a so-called mental victory.
The youngest player's professional debut.
Score in debut match.
An unprecedented event in history had a huge impact on the world of world soccer.
Not to be outdone, big news broke out in the Italian Serie League as well.
[Will the dawn of Ronaldo's revival take place?]
['Star of the past' Ronaldo has signaled a revival by scoring in his first game after officially transferring to AC Milan.
On the 15th, Ronaldo was diagnosed with thyroid dysfunction by AC Milan's medical team, which is considered one of the best in the world, shocking soccer fans around the world.
The medical team determined that this was the cause of Ronaldo's overweight, and AC Milan's general manager announced that he would mobilize experts in each field to help with Ronaldo's treatment.
Meanwhile, Ronaldo showed signs of a successful comeback by scoring the first goal in his debut match. He said in an interview right after the game….]
A day ago.
AC Milan, who went away against Genoa in the opening match of the Italian first division, won a huge victory thanks to Ronaldo's first goal.
Moreover, it did not end there.
The interview at the press conference held right after caused an even bigger stir.
Ronaldo, wearing the AC Milan uniform, said this.
"Whether I sleep or wake up, my brain wants to play soccer. But my body wouldn't allow it. "It put me through hell and it tormented me all the time, on and off the field."
His voice was slightly trembling and his eyes were slightly red.
Looking back on the past few years, which were like nightmares, I felt a rush of regret.
When I injured my knee, it felt like the sky had fallen, and when the photo of me eating snacks was leaked to the media by the paparazzi, I had to face death threats.
But it was a new start.
Ronaldo stood up at the press conference.
There was not a trace of his characteristic playful smile to be found.
It was the most serious moment of my entire soccer career.
The dying emperor's lips opened once again.
"But I don't run away anymore. I realized that the only place I could lie down was on the ground. I run once again. And then there is resurrection."
Ronaldo.
He was changing.
The wings were not repaired, but new wings were added.
The human body is not something that can be easily changed no matter how hard one tries.
Therefore, I decided to boldly abandon my previous style and start anew.
It was a huge decision.
And there was a follow-up question from the reporter.
"Please tell me something about Castilla's Woo Ho-young, who was recently nominated for the Golden Boy Award. "The Spanish media is publishing articles about tutoring."
"you're right. I taught the boy to play soccer. And I saw it. "Young passion."
These days, Ronaldo often remembers playing and kicking a ball on the beach in Rio de Janeiro as a child.
I was once again experiencing the happiest moment of my entire soccer life.
This might be the turning point in my life.
And that day, related articles spread endlessly.
[Who is the boy who was tutored by Ronaldo after Zidane?]
[Ho-Young Woo scored two goals in his debut in the Spanish second division…]
The aftereffects did not go away.
News about Woo Ho-young poured out endlessly through the world's sports media.
The country that responded the most was, of course, Korea.
Public opinion was not very positive because the youth national team had already been eliminated in the group stage at the 2007 U17 Korea World Cup, but as news spread, the atmosphere turned around.
It wasn't really a fuss.
Requests to purchase the broadcasting rights for the second division Segunda División continued, and MBS Espn broadcaster quickly stepped forward and purchased the broadcasting rights for Castile.
Unlike England, Spain allows clubs to sell individual broadcasting rights, so if they sign a separate contract with Castile, they will be able to broadcast Castile's home games.
Koreans were also able to watch Hoyoung's games at home.
[Nation's Son Woo Ho-young FoReVeR]
└You were annoyed because you didn't appear in the World Cup. Was it because you debuted in Spain? Yes, I admit it. Is the Youth World Cup such a big deal? Debuting in the first division in Spain, go go!!!!!!
└Haha, is there a possibility of being selected for the 2010 World Cup?
└I will be 18 years old by then, but I am only 16 years old. Would it be possible to debut in the first division within that time?
└Wow, really.
└It's good, but at the same time, I'm anxious. They must be trying to naturalize in Spain. That's their specialty, right?
└Ah, I guess I will naturalize~~~
└But you need to be aware of that. Korean players usually end up doing well when they go overseas. If you use it in the next game, you will be in a really awkward situation.
But a week later.
Hoyoung, who started as a starter in the away game against Albacete in the second round, showed outstanding performance and gave a big thumbs up to the malicious Hokas.
Although a fierce battle broke out due to Albacete's strong management, it was a game in which the stable build-up centered on Hoyoung shone.
Hoyoung recorded one goal and one assist in the first half of the day, proving that his outstanding performance in the opening game was not luck.
At the end of the second half, Albacete showed reluctance and went on the offensive, but Hoyoung maintained the lead until the end and led the team to victory.
On this day, Hoyoung was also selected as the official MOM and received praise from the Spanish media.
The unstoppable actions did not stop there.
In the third round match against Cadiz, which took place four days later, he showed a similar performance and scored the first goal.
It was a scoring record for three consecutive games.
Unfortunately, the team drew, but was fortunate not to lose.
Since Hoyoung had to be in the top 6 in the league by January next year, every point was precious.
However, I felt lacking in the physical aspect.
Although he played 30 games a season in the Juvenil B League, the Pro League was definitely physically demanding.
Even if I did the same activity, the energy used was different, and the activity level was so high that I was exhausted after just one game.
At least the preparation during the preseason was definitely helpful.
In addition, the coaches and medical team were providing thorough care to Hoyoung.
He had nothing to fear.
I'll push you from behind, so all you have to do is look ahead and move forward.
It was like a bulldozer, pushing away everything and continuing to win.
But you can't always walk on a smooth path.
When the heat was gone and I was feeling low energy, the first hardship came.
Real Sociedad away game scheduled for September 16th.
The match against the traditional powerhouse was exactly that.
Audiovisual room located at Real Sociedad training ground.
Game analysis was in full swing in preparation for the upcoming fourth round against Real Madrid Castilla.
Real Sociedad coach Christopher Coleman repeatedly emphasized the danger of Woo Ho-young, who is currently the league's top scorer.
No matter how young their opponents were, they were extremely serious.
Because in soccer, the important thing is not age but skill.
I didn't want to be embarrassed like the teams that were defeated earlier because they let their guard down.
That's why the players couldn't take their eyes off the analysis video.
But not everyone was like that.
Some players in the corner were whispering and giggling instead of concentrating.
"Isn't Korea the country of Korean Beckham?"
"Hehe. Korean Beckham. "Even if I think about it again, I'm dying of laughter."
"Korean Beckham~"
"Tsk tsk."
Real Sociedad.
The Royal Football Team of the Basque Country was given the title 'Real' by King Alfonso XIII.
This was the club where Lee Chan-soo, who had failed to adapt to Europe due to subtle racism from Spanish players, had played for until two years ago.
And it was also a club with bad quality players.
