103. Perverts on the ground (2)
December 23.
On this day, the attention of world soccer fans was focused on Spain.
It was the most important day of the first half of this season.
El Clasico.
Two teams that can be said to be the most prestigious clubs in the world.
This refers to the derby match between Real Madrid CF and FC Barcelona.
The two regions where each team is based have the worst relationship in Spain, so players, coaches, and fans all risk their lives to fight against each other.
It is also called the most popular derby match in the world across all sports, including soccer, baseball, basketball, and ice hockey.
It is said that the number of viewers worldwide is 400 million, but this is actually a false figure, and it is said that the actual number is estimated to be 50 to 150 million.
It's so bad that they even show the game in movie theaters.
But this time, the response was greater than ever.
By some twist of fate, a match between Castilla and Barcelona B was scheduled to take place in the second division on the same day.
Of course, it doesn't happen at the same time.
The first division was held in the evening after the second division during the day.
Therefore, for soccer fans, it was an opportunity to spend their Sunday to the fullest by watching a mini El Clásico in the second division as a taste and a real El Clásico in the first division.
So on this day, related articles appeared in various sports media from the morning, and the interviews with the presidents of both teams were especially worth seeing.
[Perez: I hope for victory. We believe in ourselves.]
[Laporta: Barcelona will rise. Today is the day to take a leap forward. If you catch Real, you can win the championship.]
At the same time, the two also expressed their opinions about the second-team match.
[Perez: Interest in Castile is not what it used to be. Isn't this the result of the success of youth policy? It's burning brightly. They also deserve the spotlight and I have no intention of using Castilla only as a reserve team.]
[Laporta: La Masia has the world's best youth policy, having already developed many star players such as Guardiola, Puyol, Xavi, Iniesta, and Messi. am. Barcelona B, at the center of it all, cannot lose.]
If there is 99% interest in El Clásico in the first division, there is only 1% interest in the second division.
Nevertheless, the reason the media highlighted the two matches was because of the prospects representing each team.
Hoyoung Woo and Bojan Krkic.
As attention was focused on the two players, their past careers were also highlighted.
[〈Don Ballon Exclusive〉 Comparison of the careers of both players]

2. Bojan Krkic Born on August 28, 1990
– Estimated total of 937 goals over the past 8 years (currently 8 goals, 4th in the league)
'900 goals. …'
Early moning.
Hoyoung woke up early and looked at the morning tabloid, his heart pounding.
Even if it includes unofficial games, isn't 900 goals a huge number?
It was an undeniable fact that Bojan was a legend in youth soccer.
At this level, there is an opinion that in fact, he is not the 'minimum Messi' but the 'minimum Pele'.
Hoyoung, who challenged him, was far behind in the records, but that was different from today's match.
What matters is your current skills.
You will know how long and short it is.
What kind of monster is waiting for you?
Hoyoung prepared to go out, half excited and half worried.
11 am.
Castile's home stadium.
More and more people began to fill the Valdebevas Alfredo Di Stefano Stadium.
Seats were already sold out three weeks in advance.
Most of them were Castilla fans, and there were only a handful of Barcelona fans.
That's because today's El Clásico was held in Barcelona, so everyone was flocking there.
President Perez also flew to Barcelona on a private plane with the players early in the morning.
In any case, what was certain was that Castilla, backed by 6,000 home fans, had an absolute advantage in today's game.
[Ah, the starting lineup has finally arrived. Castilla came out with a 4-2-3-1 formation as expected. Woo Ho-young took the attacking midfielder position. What about Barcelona B?]
[Coach Pep Guardiola's Barcelona B used 4-3-3 as the starting formation. As in the past few games, Coach Guardiola is adopting Rijkaard's 4-3-3 and developing it into his own style. I'm looking forward to seeing what other complex tactics they came up with today.]
At that time, the home team's locker room was quiet.
Before the storm.
Castile's players were mentally strengthening themselves for the upcoming game, like soldiers about to go to war.
Amid the solemn atmosphere, Director Mandya spoke.
"Never back down. "Today we can be the main characters."
Today's protagonist.
Castile's players went through their final game inspection before the start of the game.
On the other hand, there was no coach in the visiting team's locker room.
Guardiola did not enter the locker room until one minute before the game started.
That's his style.
His rule was to go in at the halfway line but never before the game.
This was because I thought that that time was entirely exclusive to the players.
At that time, Guardiola was alone in the manager's office, analyzing Castilla's starting strategy with the coaching staff.
Eventually, each player appeared on the field.
When the names of the team's popular stars, Miguel and Callejon, were called, enthusiastic cheers followed.
And as Woo Ho-young's name spread throughout the stadium, cheers rang out as if the stadium was floating.
Finally, when Boyan's name was called, equally passionate voices erupted from a corner.
There seemed to be less than 100 Barcelona fans, but the enthusiasm of cheering was not greatly influenced by the Castile fans.
As a result, the will of the players on both teams ignited.
I am determined to show everything I have prepared.
Eventually, they shook hands and the scene everyone had been waiting for was created.
Woo Ho-young and Boyan standing facing each other.
Hoyoung was much taller, but Bojan had an invisible aura of '900 goals in total'.
and.
A glance.
Boyan looks up at Hoyoung with a very nervous face.
Hoyoung looks down at Boyan with an excited expression.
Geniuses, or prodigies, shook hands.
'We finally met.'
Bojan Krki?
It took 5 years to meet.
If there is talent to be coveted among young people, this one is the ultimate and final player.
What exactly is that talent?
Neymar, whom I last saw before leaving Brazil, was a soccer prodigy (S-) and Pato was a soccer genius (A+2).
So how much is Boyan?
Hoyoung stared into space, half excited and half worried.
[Bojan Krkic]
Talents
– Soccer prodigy (S+3)
– Phenomenal dribbling (S-)
– Unstoppable hitting and running (A+3)
– Surprising space penetration (A+2)
– Fantastic positioning (A+2)
-(See more)
(For grades S or higher, you must achieve the hidden condition to covet it.)
(Condition 1: Score more points than Bojan Krkic)
(Condition 2: Win the game)
(Hidden condition: Covet 1 or more talents. City open)
(Special condition〈Fateful Rivalry – El Clasico〉: Selected as MOM for this match)
(When the special condition〈Fateful Rivalry – El Clásico〉 is achieved, you can additionally explore Bojan Krkic's potential)
'Oh ….'
Indeed, the minimum mesh.
That word isn't there for nothing.
Boyan, this guy is 'real'.
The owner of a youth record that will not be broken even after a hundred years.
The history of the youth world itself.
That made Hoyoung even more surprised.
Seeing Boyan's talent left me speechless.
Although his talent is much lower than that of Zidane, who is immediately considered world class, it was not Bojan's talent that surprised Hoyoung.
I just couldn't believe that even though he had such great talent, he grew into a mediocre player.
'What on earth did you do?…'
How does someone with such talent grow into a mediocre player? Boyan Krkic, synonymous with a youth who has exploded.
I was curious about that.
I definitely wanted to acquire that talent.
I wondered what would happen if the conditions were ridiculously difficult, but this was enough to do it.
Soccer prodigy (S+3).
I felt like I could get enough of it within this season.
'good. If a soccer prodigy can bring potential….'
Wouldn't it be possible to get promoted to SS beyond S+3?
Excitement and excitement.
Expectations grew.
It was an opportunity to rekindle my will before starting.
And the game started at exactly 12:15.
Barcelona, who took the lead according to the result of the coin flip, took the kickoff.
[Yes, the game has started. On the left is Castile, on the right of Barcelona B. What are today's watching points?]
[As it has attracted everyone's attention, the match between Boyan and Woo Ho-young will be the best watching point. But in my opinion, there is a different person who is truly a person. It is a battle of tactics for each team.]
As soon as the game started, a dynamic movement occurred in the left camp.
Barcelona's players moved flexibly like swimming jellyfish, trying to break out of their stuck positions.
As a defender, he did not focus only on his role, but performed various roles depending on the specific situation.
Of course, most of the players had a low understanding of tactics, so the picture that Guardiola wanted did not come out, but this was satisfactory enough.
It became increasingly effective over time.
The midfield pressed hard like a rising tide, keeping Castile's attackers tied up.
The game unfolded as if it were a war, making you sweat just by watching it.
Sense of speed.
Castile could hardly come to their senses due to a tactic they had encountered for the first time.
Most of Barcelona's players who directly carry out the strategy do not understand it properly, so it was bound to be difficult for Castilla to face such difficult tactics.
"Focus!"
Guardiola would immediately shout out if a player was slightly distracted.
The important thing is to keep the ball and not lose it.
Even if they lose, they emphasized forward pressure that leaves no time to breathe.
The purpose was to increase the probability of victory by keeping the ball as much as possible.
It was so tight that there was no room to breathe.
At the center was Barcelona's defensive midfielder.
It was no exaggeration to say that both offense and defense start from his toes.
In other words, the real key was not Bojan, but the 19-year-old defensive midfielder.
'As expected… it lives up to its name.'
A man who gradually grew and advanced to the first team while Pep Guardiola took charge of Barcelona B.
'Busquets.'
Sergio Busquets.
Hoyoung issued him a challenge.
The first one was a battle of brains.
'Let's start with the flow. First, start with stabilizing the economy.'
Their gazes met in midair.
Eventually, Hoyoung, who caught the ball, stopped in place and turned the ball back.
Percussion thump.
5 minutes passed.
The game slowed down and Guardiola's voice rose.
Hoyoung's game has begun.
