Chapter 166 – Top Prospect (1)

166

In fact, this is the leadership effect in the action that can be called the surrender declaration of the club… ! I admired it, but in fact, this is leadership, and the club’s shoveling was too great, apart from Malgo.

The reaction was too immediate and too good for it to be a leadership effect that has only reached 50 after spending 7 points.

‘So, who is the ace of the team?

In the eyes of the fans, it must have looked like the club trying to tame a young ace struggling for the team.

In reality, it is a power game between clubs and players who have renewed their contracts, but something to know about the complicated internal circumstances.
From the fans’ point of view, it is important to protect the ace that leads the team to victory even in difficult situations in the second half of the season when farming is decided.

In addition, even in the power game, there is a line to be followed, but it was decisive that the club overreacted and incurred the anger of the players.

When the senior line, including the captain, gave an interview with the intention of ‘Stop playing politics and focus on the game!’, The club’s leadership could not stand it.

Frankfurt is not a club controlled by some owner, and how can the board of directors withstand opposition from fans and players?

According to Harin, the board of directors will undergo major changes… The pro-Hong Min-joon faction is about to seize the presidency and purge the opposition faction.

Well… It’s an influence that scares you.

“Don’t show off. Just because I said I was a pro-Hong Min-joon faction, do you think the board of directors really fought with you alone? It’s just that the faction came together with you as an opportunity, and then one side collapsed due to an unexpected situation.”

Let’s raise our leadership….

* * *

Regardless of the board of directors, we prepared for the Europa League round of 16 against Manchester United.
In order to treat the prestigious EPL, I did my best to prepare even in the chaotic situation…

“What? Is this the roster right?”
“It’s too much.
“You’re ignoring us like this? We’re the seed team?”

The stadium an hour before the match against Manchester United.
Manchester United’s starting lineup has been announced, which makes us collapse after hard preparation.

A lineup that is close to the second team, missing not only the key ace but also many key players.

“Friends. The island nations look down on our Bundesliga, should we put up with it?”
“No!!”
“We will show the potential of the Bundesliga!!”

The players raise their voices as the manager stirs up a piece of paper with the Manchester United lineup written on it.

Huh? Why is it so connected?
Everyone seems to have forgotten that the Bundesliga is famous for having the most extensive schedule among the four major leagues in Europe, but the EPL is famous for having the most rigorous schedule.

There are a lot of league games, and teams that advance to the European competition must also play the European competition, and above all, England has two cup competitions. FA Cup and Carabao Cup.

Besides, if it is a club like Manchester United, the key player will also be a national representative.
I studied with Daye a bit while preparing for the Manchester United match, and the Manchester United schedule I saw at that time was really… Ooh, it’s hell, hell.

After a winter break of nearly three weeks, we only played league matches once a week, except for one Focal Cup match, but Manchester United finished third in the Champions League group stage in the League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup, and advanced to the Europy League. I had to play until the relegation and 2 P.O games in the round of 16. The key players there are even the national team.

Looking at the squad, I thought someone might not be from the EPL club, so the second half injury ward came to me.
Even during the preparation period for the match right now, our team prepared by taking a break for five days, but Manchester United played a league match three days ago.

If the league rankings were more relaxed, I would have rotated there, but I ended up in 6th place with a difference of 1 point from 4th place.
I don’t know if it’s the Champions League, but for Manchester United, the league is more important than the Europa. Of course, they managed to win the league game at full capacity and flew to Germany, so if the team is in good condition, would that be a cyborg or a human?

“Coach. Man Utd are in the game right now— oops!”

I was about to say this because I was wondering why the director didn’t know about this situation, but I covered my mouth with my thick palm.
Someone looked up and saw Captain Alexander Meyer with a grin on his rugged face and his finger raised.

“Opinion?”
“The coach and I, as well as any decent player, know. But leave it alone. That way the young guys will not be afraid and attack.”

Well… Can this be called psychological warfare?
Looking back at the locker room… Certainly, compared to the awkward response of players with some experience, younger players are raising their voices to overthrow Manchester United.

These guys are so naive.

After advancing to Europe, he played three matches in La Liga in Spain and more than 20 matches in Bundesliga in Germany. Well, if you add the second division records, the number of Bundesliga games will be doubled.

Adding to this two matches against French league club Monaco in the Europa group stage, it would be safe to say that they tasted the league style of Spain, Germany and France.

Since this was the first game against the EPL club, the league I was most envious of, I had high expectations.
What is the style of the EPL club? How do you attack and how do you defend?

In conclusion…

“It’s pierced again!”
“Break that Asian bastard’s ankle!!”
“Fucking Asian! Stop rampaging!!”

It was too easy.
I’d say it’s a league that’s perfect for me.

“Captain, let’s raise the line. I think it’s okay for Mondi and Fiddler to actively overlap.”
“Um. Can you survive the pressure?”
“Of course. If the captain and Khalid create a pass path from behind, I’m confident that even in the worst case, we won’t be stolen.”

With the captain’s permission, our team’s line got higher and the attack intensified.

Europa League round of 16 away, match played at home in Frankfurt.
Manchester United, who had played a fierce league game just three days ago, seemed to be aiming for an away draw by forming a team with the second team in a situation where it was impossible to operate the starting lineup.

Not befitting a strong team facing the underdog, they took a slow tempo from the start, and even the line was lower than usual, unsuitable.

However, the intensity of pressure in defense was much more intense than other Bundesliga teams, whether it was the difference in player tendencies or play styles depending on the league.

The rough pressure that pushes in from the body even before catching the ball.
It was not a one-on-one mark, but an extremely active and intense pressure that tightened the player who caught the ball from all sides.

Under pressure several times higher than that of Bundesliga clubs, which focus more on regional defense and eliminate space, our team was often caught stealing the ball in the early stages and even suffered a few run-ins.

But I was different.
Man United’s active pressure… Rather, it gave me a lot of space.

Pressure is a double-edged sword.
If you rush to press the opponent, the space will naturally be empty. At this time, Bundesliga teams usually cover the empty space and eliminate the space.

However, Manchester United was different.
The number of players involved in pressing is much higher.

For example, if I catch the ball like now, I can see players rushing in from the front, left and right in an instant to press.

This intense and active pressing not only prevents the opponent from advancing the ball, but also gives them a chance to counter-attack from dangerous areas… On the other way,

“No! Don’t follow me!”
“Block it with a foul!!”

If you get out of that pressure, you will reveal a vast empty space.

I wonder if I was the main guard in this game. Before I even got the ball, 2 or 3 Man United players rushed at me. However, apart from the positive attitude, the results were not very good.

That’s because I can’t stop me from slipping out of the way to the point of hating it, and I miss it every time.
This time, he receives a pass with his right foot outside, passes one person, and then quickly puts the ball that bounces slightly into the air inside to make it easy to receive.

The guy who was knocked off in an instant with just two footwork left a long stud mark on the ground and ran again, but this time around, he evaded him with a light turn and took the ball out of the crotch of the guy who ran from the other side.

The guy who rushed in half a beat late in the instant release of pressure got entangled with his side and got away, and the ground where the three opponents disappeared was so wide and vast.

As much as I can whip it to my heart’s content.
I can’t let me run away, so the remaining Man United players waiting in the back rushes. A determined look to accept the foul.

Huh true… Guys, you still don’t know me very well.
Can’t help it if you don’t know should be right

While running at high speed and dazzlingly tripping… Dive as it is at the timing of the rough attack.

Beep! Beep!

“Referee!! Hey Referee!! Hollywood, Hollywood action!!”

The referee resolutely pulls out a yellow card as he clenches his chest in front of a black player who cries out that he is unfair and seems to be out of breath.

“What!? Hey! Hey, Referee!! Wai! Wai!!”

Contrary to his naive eyes, Bruno is admiring when he sits up quietly watching his colleagues block the guy who follows the referee and shouts ‘why’.

“Minjun. You’re a really born actor. How about debuting as a movie actor later? I think I’ll take you anywhere with your face.”
“Acting has to become a face, so they eat more.”
“…You’re not lucky, Minjun.”
