CHAPTER 159 - Confrontation of the Spear and the Shield (4)

The goalkeeper's lineage dates back 50 years and begins with the greatest Lev Ivanovich Yashin in football history.

He made a famous saying that 'the blind spot can only be stopped by me' was the all-time number one recognized by Zata, and was named after the goalkeeper statue of the Yashin award.

Since then, a huge number of goalkeepers, including Dino Zoff, Gordon Banks, Schmeichel, and Oliver Kahn, have been freaking out and have had nightmares for world strikers.

And late 2000s.

There were three goalkeepers representing each league.

Edwin van de Sar of the English First Division (EPL).

Gianluigi Buffon of the Italian first division (Serie A).

Iker Casillas of the Spanish First Division (La liga).

This was roughly the case, and if it were to expand into the first division of France, it could have included the "Gregory Coupet".

As a Frenchman, he was a legendary goalkeeper who led the French First Division team "Olympique Lyonnais to his heyday.

Then he left France this season and came to La Riga, Spain.

Atletico Madrid.

It was a new home for the coupe that brought new challenges in later years.

And his appearance, with experience and skill, seemed to solve AT Madrid's chronic defensive problems.

Until today's game.

'Damn it······.'

Home team locker room after the end of the first half.

After all, the coupe was devastated and shook his head.

nightmare.

Efforts to raise the condition for today's game have become a bubble.

'Damn, damn, damn.'

I felt guilty.

I don't know if I missed it in an unexpected way, but Woo-young's preparations for mid-range shooting and redirection have been thoroughly prepared over the past few days.

After the training, I watched Woo Ho-young's video uploaded from the strategy room and learned his movements.

Calm shooters often infiltrate, half-beat fast toe kicks, spin kicks, left-footed shots that don't fall significantly on your right foot, his favorite shooting angles, and powerful mid-range shots.

It was well prepared for it all.

Of course, I didn't think I could block all the balls, but at least I had to stop what I prepared.

But when I opened the lid, I couldn't stop it.

"Sigh······."

Heavy mid-range shots that were the first goal.

Angle was also angle, but shooting power was not a joke.

The moment I punched the ball, I felt as if I was blocking a basketball.

'what the.'

After 16 years of professional life, he has prevented so many shootings.

His finger was broken while he was blocked, and his wrist was folded due to the speed of the ball.

It was a similar moment.

I wasn't intimidated, but because of that one shot, I had a lot of pressure on my wrist and allowed more runs after that.

"Is your wrist okay?"

Javier Aguirre's worried voice returned from the tactical conference.

The coupe replied that it was nothing.

"I was just shocked. 45 minutes more. "

"Fluid."

Aguire, who was very dissatisfied with the results in the first half, had a red face.

Nothing gets as hot as defeating the first goal.

Yet Aguirre believed in the coupe.

"Yes, your body thinks you know better. Exercise your spirit. Your opponent is Real Madrid. The Real Madrid you've frustrated many times. "

right.

It was the coupe that gave Real Madrid despair three years ago in the Champions League.

The memory made him regain his confidence once again.

'Yes, let's try it, kid.'

If you can't prevent Woo-young from shooting, it's best to make sure that you can't shoot.

'You have to read the flow of the game.'

If you can't reach it, cover it with your feet and head.

'You can't beat me in my experience.'

Regained confidence with mind control, the coupe taped around his fingers.

Tighten the goalkeeper's gloves tightly and spray water over the palms.

The purpose was to increase the viscosity of the glove.

After a series of processes, the winning mentality was refined.

There would be no more mistakes, so I spent half time thinking about it.

By the time the coupe is burning up the will.

Away players in the locker room were also in final check.

"Let's talk about two more."

When Schuster went out after the tactical meeting, Raul went out into the middle of the locker room and spoke.

"First, we did a good job in the first half. Everyone faithfully carried out their duties. Unfortunately, Gregory's early performance was so brilliant. "

"right. The child was completely back in this mode. But I was sightseeing by Young! 큭큭. "

"Pepe, you need to restrain yourself. You can't get your team up and running. "

"Oh yes."

"If you learn a lesson through mistakes, that's it."

Raul continued his words without forgetting bleak advice.

"The game starts now. In the second half, I'll be doing the tactics I've been preparing for the last two weeks. You can run each other a little bit more. That's a shortcut to victory. Madrid can't lose to ATMs. Did you get it? "

"옙."

Pair up.

Raul immediately called Ho-young separately after the speech.

"Young. It was a fantastic goal. "

"Thank you. But it's a pity that I haven't saved all the opportunities. "

"I like not thinking about it. When the first half is over, the regret is to leave the field. Instead, find something to improve. "

Words that touch your heart.

Another good day to learn today.

"Okay."

"Okay, and at the end of the day, I'm defensive and looking at the goal. It's your first time full time, so you should save your health in advance. Today's replacement card will be used on the second line. "

"I'll do my best."

What do you need?

Raul stretched out his palms, and his voice came out with the sound of bumping.

"¡Vamos."

"¡Vamos!"

Beep-

The kick-off took place as the cheering supporter of AT Madrid filled the stadium.

[2nd half started. Real Madrid will continue without a replacement.]

[AT Madrid, on the other hand, changed the line to strengthen their attack.]

AT Madrid, which had no place to back down, began aggressively.

As a result, the heat of the stadium became hotter.

Allies were enthusiastic when they caught the ball, and when the opponent caught it, they booed like crazy people.

However, the shout did not stop for 90 minutes.

But Real Madrid was not stupid.

Over time, unlike their wind, the attack was getting stronger.

In the last two weeks, AT Madrid has not been the only one to train.

Real Madrid also carefully analyzed AT Madrid and carefully prepared countermeasures against them.

The important thing is the second half now.

Here was the game.

Woo Woo-young! Concise dribble frees you from the pressure of Asuncion! John Hattingya is stuck, but not well!]

Tak, Tak.

Iii.

"Ik!"

Marseille turn to know.

Ho-young, who rotated his body in a semicircle in a flash like a compass, flipped Hattingya.

A player who knows how to use the right place without overusing his personal skills was a really scary law.

Woo Woo-young! Pass a pass between the defender's legs!]

[Raul catches!]

AT Madrid's defense line, once cracked, is irreversible.

Ho-young, who had a strong sense of soccer, did not miss the gap.

The constant off-the-ball movement created the opportunity, and in constant threat, the coupe began to shake.

In the end 74 minutes.

A perfect chance came out.

Counterattack was counterattack.

A long-range shot by Forlan was blocked by Casillas and the ball dropped under Zidane's feet.

Counterattack began with him.

[Real Madrid's counterattack! It leads right away without delay! Zidane's pass to the front!]

Real counterattack.

AT Madrid had lowered the fabric line to prepare for counterattack, but there had already been cracks and holes in it.

Percussion!

Zidane's ground ball pass divided the land.

[Raul backs defense! Get the ball near the half line!]

[Attack and defense number is exactly 4-4! With so many places to stop, Raul, what choice will you make?]

"run!"

Movement that does not delay for a while.

His choice was a roving through pass to the left rear space, where Woo Ho Young was waiting for the goal.

It's really empty.

Pre-promised play was unstoppable, and Hoyoung only ran to the back space, looking at the pass.

The line has already collapsed.

AT Madrid's four-back line was broken down in one linked play.

[Woo Young runs along the left touchline! Just before catching the ball!]

But it wasn't just a coupe that would sit there.

Watching the flow of the game, he reacted one step faster and jumped out of the box.

There was a risk of emptying the goal, but he was convinced that he could cut the ball unconditionally.

And at that moment.

Two fights took place to preempt the fast-moving ball.

There were only two people in the large back space.

Woo Young and Coupe.

The two from both sides never slowed down as if they were playing a chicken game.

And.

"읏!"

The coupe, which arrived first with a slight difference, slipped and reached out to cut the ball.

I tried to kick it off the opposite side, but Woo-young's speed was faster than I expected, so I had to be satisfied with getting it out of the touch line.

[Coupé arrived first due to a slight difference! As soon as you hit the ball out with a sliding tackle, you return to the goal! It was a bold and excellent judgment that only veterans could make!]

[That's right. For Real Madrid, a nearby colleague needs to come and pick up the ball. Real Madrid throw-in has been given.]

However.

Scoop.

I didn't have to.

Ho Young instinctively took the throw-in to catch the ball out of touch line.

In front of him was the back of the coupe returning to the goal.

It was that moment.

"Hey!"

Ugh!

[Ah! Woo Ho Young!]

[Sudden behavior! Slightly throw the ball forward when there are no friends nearby!]

There was no one nearby, but Ho Young threw the ball.

I couldn't wait until the coupe returned to the goal.

Immediately after, Ho Young threw the ball at the desired target point.

There is nothing else.

Took.

"what?!"

Coupe's back.

Ho Young's lightly thrown ball hit the coupe's back.

And it's best to bounce the ball back.

The ball, boiled plump, returned to Ho Young's feet again.

"Hey, chew! Where is that? Referee! "

The coupe appealed for injustice, but the referee continued the game.

Even if you intentionally hit the opponent for play, it was a rule of thumb to play the game as long as you do not use excessive force.

The coupé was ridiculous, but he didn't have time to pitch.

I was just going back inside the box.

He shouted.

"Hey! Go inside the goal !!! "

Defenders on the other side of the call ran hurriedly into the goal, but the ball had already left Hoyoung's toes.

Cross from the left touch line to the goal.

No, a 43-metre shot went in the parabola to the goal.

Defenders running into the box tried to cut the ball in the middle, but they all failed, and the ball landed on the ground.

Tub, barrel cute sound.

And after that there was no sound of the net.

The ball dropped to the floor, rolled in and quietly inserted into the net.

And.

"downpour!"

More intense than ever.

The coupe spouted himself.

"There's something like that out of X."
