143. La Liga sortie (2)
[Woo Ho-young! He receives Raul's backpass while facing the goal. Central defender Bravo tries to keep the ball in check, but Woo Ho-young holds the ball until the end.]
[Next two touches! Woo Hoyoung! The ball sticks to your feet like a magnet!]
Hoyoung received a back pass from Raul and kept the ball from the opposing defender until the end.
He then narrowed his eyes as he beat Bravo with a simple dribble.
'There's no room for boxes.'
The mark is focused on Raoul.
Hoyoung turned his eyes to the left side.
Robben was seen with plenty of space.
The time to worry wasn't long.
Percussion!
A through ball that goes between the side defenders.
That one pass completely opened up the left back space.
[Woo Ho-young's key pass!]
[Roben runs! It completely wipes out the space behind Numancia!]
[Roben's ground ball cross follows! Rushing into the box!]
Arjen Robben's sharp cross split the ground.
Raul's foot nearly tripped him, but Numancia's goalkeeper Juan Pablo handled the goal well, so it didn't result in a goal.
The commentators, while expressing disappointment, pointed out one surprising point.
[Woo Ho-young's ball control has improved, right? In particular, his ball keeping ability is very good. Even though it was an unexpected situation, my body knows how to protect the ball.]
[That's amazing. It's like seeing a chameleon. The point is that it shows a different side every time.]
[The Numancia players must have been quite embarrassed, right? [He is on a completely different level from last season's Woo Ho-young, whom we met in the second division.]
[Good. Hoyoung Woo continues to follow Raoul and is gaining a lot of benefits. I can guarantee that this will be the most painful time for Numancia's defenders.]
Unfortunately, the chance was not saved, but the crowd gave them a round of applause of encouragement.
It was a very good attempt for a first time.
This alone showed a lot.
Hoyoung felt the tension slowly easing.
'The game is very comfortable.'
As expected, Real Madrid was different.
Moreover, since the opponent was a team from the second division, it was easier to deal with than expected.
If you just follow Raoul without worrying about anything else, you will run out of beans.
By analogy, he was the first mate.
I felt like I could create as many opportunities as I could if I just followed his footsteps.
'good. Stay calm. As if it were Valdebebas.'
Hoyoung showed off his usual skills while controlling his mind, saying it was no different from the training ground.
He wanted to repay the fans who had been waiting for him with a strong performance today.
It's not that it's not, but fans' expectations for Woo Ho-young were sky-high.
The chemistry with Zidane that was already shown during the world tour.
Additionally, the fantastic play shown at the Beijing Olympics.
No matter how amateuristic the Olympics may be, the fact that he was able to single-handedly lead a weak team like South Korea to a bronze medal was clearly a historic record.
It was natural that fans had high expectations.
And it seemed like Hoyoung could live up to those expectations and repay them with a good game.
Isn't there a saying like this in the Bernabeu?
-90 minutes at Santiago Bernabeu is very long.
A word similar to a Real Madrid legend that has been passed down since ancient times.
It was like a superstition that only applies here at the Bernabeu Stadium.
It's only the 62nd minute of the second half.
There was plenty of time left to show.
Real Madrid changed their formation from 4-3-3 to 4-2-3-1 after the second half.
Among them, Hoyoung's position is an attacking midfielder who must take charge of the backbone of the attack.
It felt like a bridge leading to the enemy's base.
That was the reason why Coach Schuster let Hoyoung go before van der Vaart.
If Hoyoung, who left early, takes over Sneijder's role and plays his role well, it will be a great help to the play of van der Vaart, who will be replaced later.
Schuster wanted to see its potential through this game.
The key is Woo Ho-young.
Everything depended on his capabilities.
Since he had already faced Numancia twice in the second division, I firmly believed that he would do well today as well.
And as if repaying their trust, Hoyoung continued to harass the opposing defenders with threatening movements.
Another decisive chance came in the 69th minute of the second half.
It started from Zidane's toes.
[Zidane's roving pass into the left back space. Raul breaks down Numancia's defensive line and digs in.]
[At the same time, Woo Ho-young suddenly changes course and catches up. He plays the role of a link by supporting Raoul from behind!]
Tak.
As central defender Manuel Pavon approached him, Raúl quickly watched the situation as he pulled the ball back.
Break through or pass?
By the time beads of sweat were falling down my cheeks.
Although it hasn't been long since we started working together, I decided to trust Hoyoung once.
Immediately, he gave a short pass to Hoyoung and ran inside the box.
It was that moment.
widely.
"…!"
Hoyoung's return pass continued without a moment's delay.
Key pass.
It didn't result in a goal because the opposing goalkeeper came out quickly, but it was a sufficiently threatening situation.
[Woo Ho-young and Raul's one-two pass was good.]
[As soon as they were replaced, they were flying. As the chemistry between team members gets better, I think they will be able to show off their powerful offensive power.]
[There is no doubt about it. If things continue like this, won't they be able to fill Robinho's void? The key is whether it works for teams in the middle and upper tier as well as the lower tier.]
What was more surprising than anyone else was Raul, who worked with Hoyoung directly.
'I have a sense.'
Despite the lack of teamwork, Hoyoung showed a performance that exceeded expectations.
Anyone can make a return pass, but it was not easy to make that choice without a single hesitation without even guessing the sum.
It was rare for a promising player to have the ability to see the right situation and judge it in an instant.
'It's bloody.'
Rioul admitted.
Woo Ho-young This boy is a player with a natural talent for soccer.
And, as Director Schuster said, I had a feeling that it could be a great resource.
Sigh.
Raoul raised his hand and signaled to Hoyoung.
We just said it was good, so let's turn it into a goal next time.
That's what he was saying.
right.
I just had to fail twice.
Now is the time to put it in.
Afterwards, the game continued to be one-sided with Real Madrid continuing to dominate.
Numancia, who had been the protagonist of an upset by defeating Barcelona in the first round, was not able to show off their skills, perhaps due to the pressure of the away game.
And it was around the 75th minute of the second half.
[OUT 14. Guti]
[IN 23. Van der Vaart]
"Ooooooooo!"."
Van der Vaart made his debut to enthusiastic cheers from the audience.
At the same time, a major change occurred in the formation.
Zidane, who was playing as a right winger, moved down to midfield, and Robben and Raul spread out to both sides of the front line.
In the center, Woo Ho-young and van der Vaart were positioned in the second line and played the role of pillars.
[Real Madrid has two attackers. It looks like Robben and Raul are supporting the new students at the back. At the back, Woo Ho-young and van der Vaart are showing interesting chemistry by controlling the gap.] [
If we communicate well with the third line, I think we will be able to create a good opportunity soon.]
Sure enough, it won't be long before the opportunity comes. came to visit
Around the 82nd minute of the second half.
Tap, tap.
Casillas sequentially passed a pass to Ramos, Ramos passed a pass to Diarra, and Diarra passed a pass to Zidane.
The plot continued smoothly as if it were a pre-planned schedule.
Zidane received the ball in an instant and immediately saw Robben on the left front.
Before Numancia's defense could form a line, Robben penetrated into the back space.
The audience screamed in unison at the crazy power, which reached an instantaneous speed of 37 kilometers per hour.
"Ooooooooo!"
The surprise didn't stop there.
There was one more thing that drove the audience crazy.
Woo Ho-young started running from midfield two seconds ago and quickly ran all the way to the penalty area.
The two people looked like two leopards running through a peaceful savannah.
The audience jumped out of their seats at the two breakthroughs that were enough to blow away the sweltering heat.
And the moment Robben caught the ball.
"Madrit-! Madrit–!"
Behind the goal at the top of the stadium.
A large white flag symbolizing Real Madrid fluttered from the stands reserved for madridistas (Real Madrid supporters).
At the same time, thousands of socios began to sing cheering songs.
The loud cheers that started from there echoed throughout the stadium and everyone started singing cheering songs.
"Madrid! ¡Hala Madrid-!"
It was the moment when the game heated up.
Taaaaagh!
Robben cutting into the center from the left flank.
With an explosive hit and run, he bypassed one defender and entered the box.
[Roben Robben Robben! Open the shooting angle with a surprising breakthrough! Just turn 45 degrees to the right! Hit me!]
Near the edge of the penalty box.
It was the perfect angle for a curled-up shot, but Robben's choice was different.
Since his left foot was his main foot, he chose to pass instead of shooting too hard.
After making a quick decision, Robben looked inside the box.
Raul's movement was seen rushing inward from the right flank.
However, there were too many defensive numbers in the box.
So I rolled my eyes slightly towards the outside of the box.
At that moment, Robben's black eyes flashed.
'It's pretty good.'
It was because of Woo Ho-young's off-the-ball movement that was in his field of vision.
He was creating his own space with clever moves.
Even though it was an unpromised counterattack opportunity, Robben was very impressed by the way he took care of his own food.
How can you not give the ball when you are sniffing the goal like that?
That's a 15-year-old boy who debuted today.
'Put it in.'
Percussion!
Without a moment of hesitation, Robben threw a low, fast pass in front of Hoyoung's feet.
A perfect no-mark chance for anyone to see.
The front was wide open and the opposing goalkeeper was leaning to one side to block Robben's shooting angle.
There was no better scoring opportunity than this.
The time given to Hoyoung was only 2 seconds, but for them, 2 seconds was enough time to score a goal and perform a triple back tumble.
And Hoyoung was already in a shooting stance.
Hot.
I put my strength into my right thigh at the timing of the pass.
Chaboom's thighs.
It hasn't even been a day since I started craving it, but I already felt a surge of energy.
In addition, the madridistas' powerful shouts echoed throughout the field, giving strength to Hoyoung.
A situation that is truly out of control.
trance.
"Sigh."
Hoyoung's breathing was short and concise.
However, the shot was heavy and powerful.
Pfft!
The non-stop shooting continued like a comet.
The net shook as if it were torn apart.
Crash!
[Goooooooal! Fantastic!Fantasticooooo!]
There was no need to say anything.
Fantastic. This one word was enough to explain this situation.
"Waaaa!!"
The stands shook as if there had been an earthquake.
Thunderous cheers poured out onto the ground.
It was a celebration from madridistas who wholeheartedly welcomed Hoyoung's debut goal.
A bald middle-aged man was already trying to break into the stadium but was stopped by security guards.
People were going crazy as a group.
Hoyoung, who created this situation, was in a dazed mood even after scoring the goal.
There have been many times when I have scored a debut goal in my debut game, but this felt like it was on a different level.
A shiver flows through the heart and spreads throughout the body.
Hoyoung, who looked like he was going to lose his mind at any moment, lifted his head up.
Guided by that instinct, the place we arrived was in front of the goalpost.
It was a stand seat for Real Madrid's passionate supporters.
"Woo! Woo!"
They didn't just pound their chests, but the shouts of crazy fans who were almost like gorillas.
As they waved a large white flag, Hoyoung ran in front of them and performed a knee-sliding ceremony that split the grass.
And then.
"downpour!"
He clearly made his presence known.
The game has now begun.
