Chapter 32 – Step Up (4)
32
After attaching a magnet representing a player to the tactical board, the manager declared.
“It’s the same defeat after two goals and three goals anyway.”
In regional qualifiers with no goal difference, 100 goals to win or 1 goal to win is the same 3 points. In a word, it means that it is better to attack the team behind the score without looking back.
“From now on we raise the line.”
First of all, the manager’s hand pulled up the magnet representing the bottom four defenders.
“Kim Young-hyo!”
“Yes, Director!”
The magnet of senior Kim Young-hyo, who is in charge of the left fullback, is pulled all the way up.
“Young-hyo is in charge of the left flank. You’re a wingback… No, just infiltrate like a winger!”
“All right.”
Senior Yeong-hyo, who was originally a side striker, shone as if he had seized a good opportunity.
It’s not as good as me, but from the point of view of senior Yeong-hyo, who is quick and has good feet, I can’t help but feel good because the coach directly released the attacking instinct that I had suppressed.
“Yong Jin-yi, as usual, keeps firmly in front of the defensive line and sweeps it, and the jockey takes a large lateral movement.”
Senior defensive midfielder Chae Yong-jin and senior central midfielder Ki-soo Kim nodded their heads, and the coach’s finger pointed to the last remaining spot among the three midfield magnets.
“Yunhyuk! You move vertically. Move up and down to your heart’s content. Don’t worry about tactics, move according to your own judgment.”
“All right.”
Everyone looked at senior Yoon-hyeok with surprised eyes at the de facto free-roll declaration.
This is the first time that a coach with a conservative tactical view, who values team movement over individual player freedom, grants a free role.
Also, no one expected that senior Yoon Hyuk, who had been running for the quarterfinals, would receive a free role.
“And Hong Min-joon. You move mainly in the half space. Leave the left flank to Young-hyo and stay in the half-space when attacking, then infiltrate into the empty space where Jin-ho pulls down the opponent’s defender. You move like a central striker, not a flanker. Okay?”
“Uh… Like Trequa?”
“Yes. Trequa. Like Francesco Totti or Roberto Baggio. You know what I mean?”
Trequartista
An Italian football term meaning a person in the third quarter position, corresponding to an attacking midfielder in position.
In general, it was a role played by players called fantasy stars, and it was a position that required a style that was difficult to survive in modern football, where all positions require active alternation of offense and defense in a style that focuses on attack by minimizing involvement in defense.
Italian master Roberto Mancini, who also served as manager of Man City in the past, cited excellent ball control, technique, and creativity for depressurization as the ability to take on trequartis, which is similar to the so-called ‘crack’.
“Finally, when attacking, we move in this form.”
(The blue is the main team, and the yellow is the main character. The arrow is the direction of movement, and the blue circle is the half space the main character will move.)
I was surprised to see the magnets placed by the director.
It’s more aggressive than you think.
“Yunhyuk. You are the key. You have to move up and down to shake the enemy camp and provide quality passes. Can you do it?”
“…I’ll try.”
“Can you do it? If you can’t, tell me quickly!”
“You can!”
The director, who was quietly looking at senior Yoon Hyuk, nodded.
Do I have to block that wide space?
Oh Sang-tae seemed to turn white in his head.
The first half was a series of mistakes, but in the second half, it seems like you have to take care of the side space all by yourself.
Of course, when defending, senior defensive midfielder Chae Yong-jin will come down and form a 3-back, but in a counterattack situation, where does he move according to his tactics?
In the end, Oh Sang-tae’s legs trembled at the thought that he had to take charge of the large space on the left by himself.
It was then.
“Situation.”
“Yes, manager.”
After everyone left to hide his trembling legs, the director approached Oh Sang-tae, who was finally following up, and put his arm around his shoulder.
“Bastard. Are you scared?”
“…I’m a little nervous.”
“Did you see Minjun Hong play in the first half?”
Oh Sang-tae unknowingly recalled Hong Min-joon’s play in the first half.
An overwhelming technique that broke through the opponent with dazzling movements even when he was in the defensive camp. However, I was trapped in the camp of layered enemies and committed countless turnovers.
“He has a temper, so if you scratch him lightly, he will explode.”
“…Yes?”
“I’ve seen you do it, so you know it well. His foot talent is real.”
“Ah, yes. That’s right.”
There is no one who does not know Minjun Hong’s technique.
At least pro level. It’s to the point where they compete for the best in domestic leagues, and even if they look abroad, they’re at a level where I wonder if they’ll work in the top 4 European leagues.
“Besides, he’s also good at speed. Got it? Even in the first half when there was no space, he stirred by himself, so the opponent couldn’t get his head around and swung around. In the second half, there would be space. I’ll put it in too. Do you know what I mean?”
“…To?”
“Ahhh, this bingsina. In the second half, we’re going to get out of the way, you bastard. So don’t be scared, just do your best! If we score a goal, we’ll score 2 goals. Got it?”
“Oh, yes, yes.”
“Good.”
The director, who slapped Oh Sang-tae on the back, sighed and took out a cigarette.
“Sweet. No smoking indoors, Director.”
“Nimi. Someone sees it.”
“I see.”
“So you’re going to braid?”
“No. Me too.”
“This bastard is very into this.”
The head coach, who giggled and smoked a cigarette, exhaled smoke and asked.
“Are you okay?”
“I don’t know, bastard.”
“…Really?”
“Seriously. If I can turn kids around with just a few words, I’m supervising a professional team. Why would I be here?”
Whoa, the director sighed.
“But you have to believe it. Hong Min-joon scratched him, so he must be boiling by now. If he gets triggered properly, no one can stop him. At least in the college league.”
* * *
“Ah! The players are coming! I think the second half will start now!”
Han So-young, the operator of ‘Football in Love’, adjusted the camera again when she shouted vigorously.
—College League Who Springs? ㄵ
—Ah, who applied for the game?
—Who knows what Hansso wants to do
-LOL
—Where is the game?
It’s a college league
You? Is there such a thing?
I don’t know either
Is the number of spectators real? Do it so fucking well
ㄴㅅㅇ x x o
ㄴAre these bastards human?
Even before the match started, Soyoung secretly sighed while looking at the chat window that showed no interest.
‘Ah. Did I come here for no reason?’
26 years old this year.
After graduating from college, So-young, who had been living a swan life, started streaming her impulsively when she heard that her female cam was so profitable.
The problem is content.
While thinking about what to do, Soyoung decided to make use of her own hobby.
Just football.
Her grandfather, father and brother. She is the daughter of a famous soccer family that has been a soccer player for generations. So-young, who has been blessed since childhood, started broadcasting with her soccer content, and she was able to grow up in an instant thanks to her unique pretty appearance, knowledge comparable to that of a father-in-law, and strong virtue.
Of course, she’s not big enough to be called, but she’s only been on the air for a year now.
So-Young has grown to the point where she earns the level of an office worker, so even though it is a low salary for a small business, she is satisfied that she has become a confident member of society in a swan.
But when she lies down she says she wants to sleep.
She quickly grew into a pretty female cam, but So-yeong, who was worried about the stagnant broadcast due to lack of content, accidentally heard rumors of ‘a promising college league chewing monster’. Plus, she’s so handsome!
That’s how the stadium came to ask her father.
The first collegiate league chewing gum prospect was a boy so handsome that So-young felt the visual shock for the first time in her life.
‘Great!’
I’ve heard that you’re handsome, you’re handsome, but that’s it? Do you have good skills there?
So-young’s expectations of a broadcast jackpot quickly collapsed, so isn’t Ho Jin-dae, who was running on the road to victory of 7 consecutive victories, unexpectedly made mistakes from the first half, and was self-defeating?
‘This is a 7-game winning team… ? Is it a true story at the team level of a college league blast?’
Fortunately, after scoring two goals through amateurish play, the prospect wearing the number 15 showed great movements, but…
“Ah. It’s too much play.”
— ㅋ ㅋ Almost break through the level of brainlessness
—ㅅㅅ I’ve been watching this a lothahaAm I the only one who thinks of Adele Tarab?
B -frame-
I just did a search. Ji-Sung Park, former player
I’m vibrating inside
Just like the chats of the viewers, the personal skills definitely look good… Did you play without too much brain?
“Ah. It’s really unfortunate. Guys, did you just see it? Just breaking through 3 people.”
ㄴIf you gather only the highlights, even the 3rd division leaguer is a wall classhaha
Lol
After the first half ended while being ridiculed by the viewers, So-young was troubled.
Are you watching this until the second half?
There is no performance of the expected prospect, and the reaction of viewers is lower than expected.
However, it took 4 hours to get from Seoul to Hojin University, but it is a waste of time to see only the first half.
It was time for Soyoung to watch the game, thinking about how to shake off his mouth and catch the viewers.
“…Huh? Guys, I think the tactics have changed? Uh, uh uh? Uh uh!!”
