Chapter 217：CHAPTER 246 - The Black Star of Africa (2)

The night before the match.

Manager Milovan Lajevac brought his players to his room for advice.

I could not sleep because of the tension.

"What are you afraid of? Your opponent is this missing tiger. No, it's a cat with no claws. "

"But what if Woo Ho-young starts?"

The Ghana national team players were afraid of Woo.

How many players were broken in front of him?

Ho Young was a terrible fear, especially for defenders.

That's why some of the players can't sleep until late at night.

In addition, the tension to the World Cup semi-finals was in front of them.

On the other hand, Lajevac was certainly free.

"No, I'm sure. This is advanced information. Woo Ho-young is not back yet enough to play full time. "

Lajevac was very likely to win.

Woo thought that there was a good chance if he didn't play for only 45 minutes.

The same was true of the experts.

It was because what was going to happen if Woo Jung-young didn't play against the mighty Ghana.

In the end, he succeeded in getting a valuable first goal.

However.

"this."

It came out sooner than I thought.

I thought it was going to be replaced at half time soon, but I didn't expect it to come out 10 minutes early.

'It's too early to change tactics.'

At least a two-point difference was planned to be widened, and all of this was out of date.

Had to endure the remaining 10 minutes until half time.

"after."

Lajevac took a deep breath.

Breathing began to steep.

The judgment was blurred was a bonus.

This situation was natural in this situation where the semifinals came and went in front of the nose.

9 o'clock at night.

One minute and one second was frustrating.

It was all just watching the game.

The crowd was also breathing tightly shut.

Wait a minute.

'Yes.'

Rajevac raised his hand and asked for a replacement.

It was when Ghana were given a corner.

[Republic of Korea]

[OUT 20. Dong-gu]

[IN 10. Woo Ho Young]

[Ghana]

[OUT 7. Samuel Inqum]

[IN 13. Andre IU;

Samuel, but the winger ingkum (Samuel Inkoom) IU Andre (Andre Ayew) injected instead, was good enough to play defense capabilities in the wingback.

That's why Lajevac put Andre.

[I think you can interpret it for 10 minutes.]

[That's right. It means to give up the attack and concentrate on the defense. It is safe for us.]

Ghana's atmosphere began to fade from the moment Ho-young entered the stadium.

The crowd began to shout Woo Ho Young's name in a loud voice.

Among them, not only red devils.

Many South African citizens' voices were also mixed.

Most South African fans cheered for the same African continent, Ghana, but there were not many people cheering for South Korea.

No, it was exactly cheer for Hoyoung.

[Yes, Woo Woo-young comes in. It's an overwhelming atmosphere.]

[Literally the atmosphere gets cheaper. Ghana's players are so conscious of Woo-young.]

The commentary must have been right.

Defenders, especially, have already been scared.

Even Essian, who had a lot of experience, including the Champions League final, was nervous and bitten his lower lip.

'It came out quickly.'

Then he took a rough breath and stared at the good.

'I didn't expect to see it in the World Cup, not in the Champions League.'

Essien was actually eager to see Hou-yeong once.

If you're a football player, you've come to think.

Win-win.

It was the vague curiosity of the unheard of.

Of course, I didn't think I could easily beat Ho-young.

Ho Young's skills were familiar to him from a long time ago, and he knew well that he had completely struck Patrick Vieira.

And it was astounding when I saw the game of Mascherano and Gattuso.

It was then that I started watching Woo Woo-young's play every time I had time.

I thought it was a wonderful player.

So before retiring, I definitely wanted to see you.

And it was Essien at its best.

At the age of 27, he wasn't at his peak, but he was a solid player last year, leading Chelsea's second crown.

'You can play the game right after a while.'

Sticky.

I bite my teeth and decided.

It was really like a beast.

Ho Young also stared at such Essien.

[Michael Essien]

(Extra special Michael Essien's potential can be unlocked by completing Special Conditions: Champions League Finals).

If Gattuso is a fighting cow, Essian is a bison.

His midfield power is phenomenal, for example, he never gave up a single effective shot against Manchester United.

The game proved to be the best box-to-box midfielder.

So I wanted to stick to it once.

As expected, there were many coveted talents.

In addition to the mid-term grip, "naturally born black muscle (S-)" was also a very necessary talent.

Ho-young has been cutting the limits of the physical body as he has achieved a tremendous amount of technological prowess.

I know how to run faster, but I really didn't feel like it was following me.

However, if I gained talents related to the body, I could use my existing talents more efficiently.

'Once today's talents.'

Ho Young finished the final check by gently turning his ankle.

The condition was good.

The ankles were not too bad for the game, and 60 minutes were enough to play on the line.

Beep!

The match resumed in the meantime.

At the same time, Ho Young's voice reached Park.

"brother! I will take a close post! "

"okay! Gui Hoon and Doo Lim are watching the counterattack! Let's live before the end of the first half! "

"Yes!"

First 36 minutes.

It was about 12 minutes until half time.

[The game resumes with a corner kick from Ghana.]

[Kevin Prince Boaeng, kicking out as a kicker, ah, I hit you!]

Kevin Prince Boateng was a bit confident on the corner.

But the corner did not fly.

instead.

[Oh, ground ball pass out of the penalty!]

It was a tremendous speed and ground ball shooting out of the penalty area.

And there were Sull Muntari and Essien, who are good at mid-range shooting.

Roh Young's defensive position selection ability was so heavy that it was a burden for him to hit the ball.

That's why he sent the ball out of the box.

And.

[Ball flowing to Michael Essien! Essien catches!]

[Ahhh! Must be prevented!]

widely.

Neat touch.

Indeed, Essien was a versatile player with a clean ball touch.

It's a perfect environment for hitting long-range shots with just one touch.

And given the chance, he struck him cool without hesitation.

It was then that Essian's mouth rose.

'done.'

I felt it for sure when the ball hit the instep.

This went in unconditionally.

By the way.

Fuzzy!

An incredible thing happened.

The shooting that should have been blown away is floating in the sky.

[I stopped it! Woo-young Woo!]

[Oh, great! Woo Ho Young !!]

Ho-young, who was standing near the goal post, ran out of the box and blocked Essien's shooting.

It was a true free-role.

[I'm Woo-young, who doesn't lose expectations!]

[It's not over yet. Our players, we have to stop and concentrate until the end.]

But the crisis did not end there.

Holding the ball in the air Sully Muntari has risen, while my ball to Andrew IU began the second attack.

On the contrary, if the Republic of Korea takes the ball, it could take counterattack opportunities.

However.

widely.

[Oh, Andrew, IU will turn the ball back. Are you going to end the first half without being greedy?

Instead of forceful attacks, Layebach gave instructions to turn the ball and lead time.

Essien centered around and began to coordinate the flow of the game.

'You just have to hold it for 10 minutes. The flow is still on us. '

It was important not to lose the initiative.

Therefore, Essien lowered the tempo and took control of the midfield.

By the way.

"Essien! rear!"

"···!"

Essien was trying to backpass, he could not look back.

Before that, an ominous energy was already covering the back.

'우호영!'

This time too.

Like an octopus, squeezed back from the foot and snatched the ball was a good luck.

'Suddenly······.'

Without thinking, the flow of the game momentarily rose.

But Essien did not give up there.

His strength is not physical and mentality.

In addition, the technical aspect did not lag behind.

As soon as he was deprived of the ball, he took a backing.

It wasn't a professional defender's tackle, but he was confident in tough fights and persistent play.

And then.

Ugh!

Essien pulled Ho-young's arm and stretched her legs to snatch the ball.

But there was nothing good to fight in the fight.

It was then that the shoulders of the two clashed.

Fuzzy!

And it was Essien who was pushed back.

"큭 ······."

My head was bruised and my throat was wacky.

I have struggled with a lot of players, but this is the first time I have been so strong and flexible.

Moreover, is Hoyoung not Asian?

It was as if they had collected only the strengths of the players who were good at fighting.

As such, the initiative fell.

It was about 10 minutes later that Jungwon was seized by Woo Ho Young.

During that short time, Michael Essien did nothing.

The momentum had already gone beyond.

However, thanks to the increase in the number of defense in advance did not allow a run.

Beep!

The thing that saved Ghana was the whistle of the half time.

"haha."

It was time to dry.

Essien hurriedly breathed in and entered the locker room.

I didn't think I wanted to stick with Woo Ho Young anymore.

And most importantly, there were still 45 minutes left.
