Chapter 168 – Top Prospect (3)
168
The two matches against Manchester United drew a lot of attention.
First, my skills as a midfielder, which I showed in the first game.
“Hong Min-joon’s progress is impressive. Really, very impressive. This player, he has shown tremendous improvement in what was pointed out as his biggest weakness.”
“After appearing like a comet as the top scorer in the Olympics, Hong Min-joon has always been evaluated as a promising player to keep an eye on. He fascinates the viewer with his unique play with breakthrough power that is evaluated as the top level. But the most frightening thing is that this player has shown constant improvement since his debut.”
“I will be honest. I never thought this player would grow like this. Because his pattern was so simple, I thought he was a promising player who would disappear soon after being analyzed. But look. Now he is getting more and more complete. What surprised me the most about Hong Min-joon is his endless potential! My God, this player is only 21 years old!!”
It has received a lot of attention in the past.
From Olympic top scorer to 2nd Bundesliga top scorer to Bundesliga performances in the first half, my rating has gone from a youngster to watch to one of the brightest young players of the generation, and in fact has risen to the point of being offered a total of €80m through the winter transfer window. .
There was no doubt that it was a great evaluation, but in the end, it was only the best among ‘prospects’.
No Not even the best, but one of the best.
It’s because I’ve been tied to the ‘best prospect’ line along with players like Gabriel Mendy, Rodrygo, and Regina, including Jorge Garcia, who will wear it through interviews.
However, the second game against Manchester United made me surpass even my evaluation.
What was lacking only in the Bundesliga, because it made me pass the ‘verification’.
There is a league that suits each player well.
There are players who have shown tremendous success in the Bundesliga but fail miserably in the EPL or La Liga, and on the contrary, transfer to the Bundesliga through great performance in the EPL or La Liga, but may die.
For example, like me playing in the Bundesliga after a miserable failure in Barcelona, Spain.
Of course, there is a reason for this. At the time of Barcelona, I was suddenly over 7cm tall and my balance was completely broken.
But to the masses, the reason doesn’t matter.
Wasn’t there a reason for the player who failed after moving the league?
The new coach may not have used it properly, or he may have been assigned a role that does not fit the right tactics, or there may have been a problem with local adaptation, but what the public pays attention to is the result that a player who was good in one league collapsed in another league.
I performed tremendously against Monaco, the strong French team, and Manchester United, the giants of the EPL.
Didn’t they prove their class by breaking through the Monaco duo, who had once heard the world’s best sound, from the front, and showing overwhelming ballkeeping power and forwardness against Manchester United’s first team in the second leg?
In particular, the appearance he showed in the second half of the second leg against Manchester United was decisive.
Because the scene where he moved as if he was joking while defending the ball alone among the Manchester United players caused a lot of talk.
“Hong Min-joon’s individual skills are unbelievable. Look at his ballkeeping skills in the second leg against Manchester United in the Europa League Round of 16! That’s two minutes. Not 20 seconds, but 2 minutes! Hong Min-joon held on for two minutes between Manchester United players and never lost the ball while surrounded on all sides!”
This scene created by the bizarre phenomenon of the sudden slowdown of time and the situation of the exhausted Manchester United players intertwined exquisitely is ‘Swearing True Education’, ‘Hong Min-jun’s Soccer Class’, ‘Soccer Master’s Relief’, and ‘I Play Soccer Alone’. , ‘The skill of an SSS-level soccer player’, etc.
At the time, I was annoyed at the situation where I was just defending, so I thought I didn’t know, and the play that I planned to play with the Manchester United players would come back like this.
Anyway, this scene of playing alone with the ball for two minutes against Manchester United’s main team seems to have impressed the public as well as football officials.
“Now it is clear. I can say this with confidence. Among the players in their late teens and early 20s, Minjun Hong is the best.”
“From skills to growth, potential and attitude! He’s a complete player. After the era of Messi and Ronaldo, we will once again welcome a new era player.”
Well. What do you know?
And the second thing that came to mind was…
“Hong is Prince! Just, shiny, yes, handsome. He has a good voice, and, uh… It smells good too!”
“I see. Then why did you and Emily fight?”
“Who is Emily?”
“The girl who had a fight with Sarah in the aisle is Emily.”
“Emily is greedy! I tried to take Hong away! I’m going out holding hands, but it’s my child, but he keeps saying he’ll do it, just, just like that! Emily has to go out with a monster, but she keeps saying to me, yea, she doesn’t want to work with a monster, she wants to switch with me.”
“Big… Didn’t she hate the monster man?”
“Yes! I like the prince!”
“Then Emily hates the monster too, King… Wouldn’t you have wanted to go out with Minjun Hong?”
“Uh… Then I will cancel the greedy one.”
Hahathe baby is so damn cutehaha
– Talking dog cutie… Look at the cheeks mumbling…
—As expected, babies are honesthaha
—Wanghaha
ㄴBut ㅇㅇ I’m a prince;;
ㄴIt’s so childish, but if it’s Hong Min-joon, it’s plausible…
—It’s like a monster lol It must be a real joustinghaha
—Is this me fucking!!! Even those little ones reveal their faces!!
ㄴIt’s British, so it doesn’t seem to be a country problem
It’s a problem with your face.
BAddress
Q: The babies are so so cute! I want to pluck my cheeks so much ㅜㅜㅜ Cue ㅜㅜㅜ
I want to throw away this fucking tone
It looks like he has a fucking mustache
ㄴMustache pork cutlets
—But Hong Min-joon is a child and an adult, and women are very melting ;;
ㄴLook at the twinkle eyes when talking about baby Hong Min-joon ㅋㅋ That’s real
ㄴㅋㅋ When talking about the prince and when talking about Emily and monsters, the eyes look different.
-Under… The number of women who fell for Hong Min-jun increased like this… Stop it and chew it.
In the second match against Manchester United, the happening in the aisle before the start of the match was revealed and received a lot of attention.
In particular, an interview with two escort kids became a hot topic and became famous. Thanks to that, I got the nickname that shriveled my whole body, Prince, and the opponent I was fighting nerves with was nicknamed Monster.
Well… It’s a monster That’s a very fitting nickname for that unassuming guy.
The vengeance that became ambiguous after losing the game, this is the end.
… Of course, I also had a nickname that hit me every time I heard it.

Frankfurt’s first goal in the second half was set to Europa, but that doesn’t mean they gave up on the league.
It’s just that they will focus more on the Europa League, but Frankfurt is still competing for the championship, because it’s a team.
“Hong Min-joon’s movement has become much more relaxed. He seems to be focusing on team play rather than trying to break through alone lately, right?”
“He seems to be adjusting well as a central midfielder. Then, when the opponent loses concentration… Like now, we create opportunities by single-dollar breakthroughs!”
“Oh, that was a good try! As many people already know, isn’t Hong Min-joon’s dribbling well-reputed? Its dribble success rate ranks first among the four major leagues.”
“We take victory in a difficult expedition to Frankfurt. Hong Min-joon scored a goal for the first time in a long time and continued to compete for the top scorer, while also successfully accumulating 3 attack points in a row.”
After being eliminated from Pokal, the only thing left for our team is the League and Europa.
Nicola Svyetz’s relegation to the 2nd team made the already thin squad feel anxious, but thanks to my performance, which improved my understanding of the midfielder thanks to the effect of studying with Daye, I was able to continue winning.
In fact, I think it’s because I gained more experience than studying with Daye, improved my stats, and made soccer easier… Let’s move on thinking of Daye, who even hums a song that she likes after a long time.
We were able to gain momentum with the joining of Chicharo, who returned earlier than planned, after continuing a narrow victory.
I also returned to my original position as a side striker and started the scorer again, and in the Europa draw held the day after the second match against Man Utd, I defeated Greek Olympiacos, who was considered the easiest opponent in the quarterfinals, and landed smoothly in the semifinals.
League 2 and Europa semi-finals.
Although the season was not yet over, the whole city was excited like a festival every day at the incredible achievements of Frankfurt, which had just been promoted.
April, the end of the second half prayer.
Frankfurt maintained a close second place with a gap of 5 points from 1st place Munich and 1 point from 3rd place Dortmund.
Now, the remaining matches are 6 league matches and 2 matches of the Europa semi-finals 1st and 2nd… And one final game.
The schedule that fans have been calling the season’s biggest hurdle was approaching.
From the away game against Sevilla in the first leg of the Europa semifinal scheduled for Sunday, April 9th, the match against Munich in round 29 of the league on Wednesday, April 12th, just three days later, followed by the second leg of the Europa semifinal three days later, and the 4 Until the match against Dortmund in the 30th round of the league on April 19, a day later.
4 consecutive matches held in just 11 days.
It was the beginning of a murderous schedule that was hard to give up on either of the Europa semi-finals against the league 1st and 3rd place teams.
