Chapter 171 – Hell’s Four Series (3)

171

The ground after the first half was quiet enough to not be thought of as a place where 22 players were fiercely fighting until just before.

Cathy Rockbella, who had been watching only a few lawn caretakers snooping around looking for potholes, spoke in a pitiful tone.

“As expected, it’s Munich. No matter how much Hong Min-joon is, it doesn’t seem to work against Maxim Maier yet.”

At the end of the first half, the score was 2:0.
Of course, with the visiting team Munich scoring two goals and leading, the stadium, which could not find an empty seat at the start, was showing empty seats in places like an empty ground.

Not all empty seats left because they couldn’t see the team’s disastrous performance.
Fantastic Frankfurt fans wouldn’t have given up just because the first half was delayed. Maybe he went to get something to eat or went to the bathroom.

However, to Cathy Rockbella, the empty stadium looks like an empty seat left by fans who are disappointed with the team’s performance.

The first half that just happened was one-sided.
2:0 is a game performance gap that is more than the visible score difference. Wasn’t it to the extent that the home fans booed in the middle of the game at Munich’s one-sided assault to the point of brutality and Frankfurt’s hurriedness to stop it?

To Cassie Rockbella’s pitiful tone, Victor Showwell replied chicly.

“I don’t know again. Who knows if Hong Min-jun, whom you love so much, will come back with a drastic change in the second half.”
“Oh, senpai. Are you jealous?”
“What nonsense. What is jealousy?”

Cassie rolled her eyes at Victor, who snorted.

“If you’re a woman, you can’t help but like Hong Min-joon? A man who looks like that is good at soccer, but who would hate it? I really hope there will be a coronation ceremony in the second half, as my senior said.”

At Cathy’s hazy words, Victor snorted again.
However, in fact, ‘Hong Min-jun’s Coronation’ is quite famous among scouts… No, now it was a famous thing known to the public beyond scouts.

“His coronation, now I can confirm it.”

Victor’s eyes narrow as he watches the players take to the ground for the second half.

It’s obviously losing 2:0. Moreover, even though the game performance was more disastrous than the difference in score, it was not unfamiliar to see the face of an Asian smiling confidently.

“Oh my gosh! Seeing that the prince is smiling, the coronation is certain!”

Just like what Cathy said, when the first half didn’t work out, Hong Min-joon often showed a different side of him in the second half.

A phenomenon that no one can understand, causing the scouts who were observing Hong Min-jun to fall into a mental breakdown.

Some claim it’s doping, but the Bundesliga… No, the doping claim is ridiculous when you think about which club would openly fool like this even though it was clean even though it had received the most doping tests in the four major European leagues.

Even so, it can only be called doping, and the second half is completely different… Hong Min-joon’s ‘boosting’, which shows a tremendous increase in performance, has now become a famous thing that even the public knows about beyond rumors among scouts.

It’s because fans (mainly female fans) who call Minjun Hong ‘Prince’ have come to the point where they call it ‘Coronation’.
As for why the coronation ceremony… They say that the prince is crowned king and his performance improves or something.

I wondered if there were all these stupid nicknames, but right next to me was the famous Hong Min-jun fan club.
Victor Showwell looked pathetically at the seat next to him.

Cathy Rock and Bella watching over Minjun Hong while holding his hand tightly.

“Come!! Coronation!!”

… And on the other side, young women huddled together.

‘It’s the last word.’

This way… Victor Showwell laughed at Hong Min-joon, who showed off a completely different performance this time and broke the Munich camp.

“What the hell is it? It’s not doping. Are you really receiving favoritism from God?”

In the second half of the rotation, Maxim Maier was omitted, but Victor overpowered the Munich players and eventually scored a goal. In the end, Victor added the last sentence to his notebook.

* * *

One of the Munich players who went to the ground to start the second half grunted from the side.

“Hey Hong. Isn’t it hard to deal with Maxim? If you join Bayon, you can get help instead of dealing with him!”

It was a teasing tone, but the words themselves were certainly plausible.
Because the side striker and the side defender are inextricably linked.

There may be differences depending on the detailed tactics, but basically, in modern soccer, the help of a side defender is needed to maximize the power of a side striker.

Even in modern football, where pressure and space have emerged as important topics, the team’s performance is influenced by the attack power of the side defenders.

It’s not for nothing that a world-class team and a great coach pour money into side defenders.
In that respect, world-class fullback Maxim Maier, who is recognized by everyone, is a player who exerts a tremendous influence not only in defense but also in attack.

What if you play with Maxim Maier?
What… It will definitely be fun.

By the way,

“If Munich can afford my ransom.”
“What?”
“Munich is a miser, right? Can you afford my ransom?”

I don’t know if Munich can pay my ransom.

“Such a foolish bastard.”

If you can’t refute it, you curse at the messenger.
It’s not that I don’t have money. Because when I do, I do it in a hot way. The problem is that it happens very rarely.

“It’s arrogant for not being able to do anything against us.”

I smiled at the barely grinning guy.

“I can’t do anything. The game starts now.”
“…I’m sure he’s arrogant that he’s missing Maxim, but try your best.”

That’s a bit unfortunate

In the second half, there were a lot of player substitutions in Munich.
Three key members of Munich, including Maxim Maier, were replaced with rotation members.

Munich is like us… No, it would have been difficult if the game schedule was harder than ours, but it must have been a lot of work to have the best 11 play in today’s game due to the team’s circumstances.

It’s more important to prepare for the upcoming Champions League semi-final second leg, what’s more important is a league match where the championship is almost confirmed.

If my ego hadn’t been shattered by scoring the shortest goal in the first round and the ultra-long goal, I would have been in the rotation for this game.

Well… Come to think of it, did it happen because I was too good at it?
I’m tired even though I’m doing well… It looks better this time

Thanks to Daye, the huge amount of points she had accumulated went away all at once.
The points I wrote this time were 137.

It was the largest, all-time investment with points written at one time so far.
Most of the 125 points were invested in the hidden stats genius and intelligence that I had been waiting for so far.

At this opportunity, his genius finally broke through 80, and his intelligence also reached 70.
… It’s not like I suddenly had a great awakening or a good idea came up.

In addition, the general stats exceeded 80 with the remaining scraps, but the message that it could not be raised because of the lack of genius like before did not appear, perhaps thanks to the increase in genius.

The problem is that it takes 3 points to raise from 79 to 80, but… It’s a point, I guess I can collect it again.

Anyway, I think I have to show a different look to Munich, who only dealt with the first half and took out three key players.

“Hey buddy. Keep an eye on me in the second half. I’ll show you something fun.”
“What? What nonsense.”

“…What the fuck.”

Munich fullback Souza, who replaced Maxim Mayer, laughed dejectedly as he watched the ball bouncing off the team’s goal.

“How to stop this monster.”

* * *

That was the beginning.
The skirmish between Frankfurt and Munich.

In the 5th minute of the second half, Hong Min-jun’s solo dribble intercepted Munich’s pass and scored a goal, bypassing three players. In the 8th minute of the second half, Munich scored again from a corner kick and ran away.

Then, in the 17th minute of the second half, Hong Min-jun, who received the ball kicked during the defense process from among the Munich players, showed incredible pressure off, breaking out of the encirclement and scoring the second goal with a mid-range shot from 25m, and finally scored a hat-trick in the 36th minute of the second half to equalize the goal. Burst

The defensive nucleus Maxim Maier, center back Ernst Albrecht, and midfield nucleus Michael Kroos have been replaced, but the opponent is Bayern Munich.

Munich was the best and strongest team in the Bundesliga.
