262 CHAPTER 292 - Fighting (1)
Man City's hatch didn't stop.
After the first leg of the quarter-finals against Dynamo Kyiv, he made his way to the quarter-finals with a 4-1 win in the second leg in Kiev, Ukraine.
The next opponent was Dutch Ajax, beating Benfica.
The quarterfinals were as follows.
[2010-2011 Europa League Draw]
Manchester City vs Ajax
FC Porto vs Juventus
It was a side effect.
Once everyone was expecting Manchester City and FC Porto to go up, the rest didn't.
Juventus, in particular, should have fallen short of the truth.
The big club's title was a shame, and it was the worst of the season.
The Serie League, as well as the Europa League Group Qualifiers, were bad.
It was because of the aging of the players.
Surprisingly, however, he climbed into the tournament and made it to the quarterfinals.
But the squad was still very poor, so it wasn't a big deal.
FC Porto was the only opponent to watch out for now.
'Ajax has nothing to see.'
All-round barrels.
Everything was solid.
There seemed to be no stumbling block at all.
Until then.
A few days later, however, an obstacle appeared in front of Ho Young.
Stoke City.
That was the EPL's proud quarter-final against Stoke City.
They were mid-level teams currently in the top 10 of the league, but they are called EPL's strongest.
That was the problem.
Etihad Campus.
Man City's players were tense ahead of Stoke.
I was constantly worried while training.
There were even players who were burdened to play.
It wasn't for fear of losing the game.
but.
"They're definitely a strong team. Wouldn't there be a team stronger than them in the world? "
EPL senior Vincian Company told Ho Young.
Ho Young nodded and sympathized.
"then. It's a team of men. "
Not scary, but afraid of injury in the game.
Yes.
They were the strongest team in a different sense.
Team of aka men.
They were a horrible team that played soccer with the body, not the ball.
The club's mascot is hippopotamus, and their play style was no different.
Just push it rough.
There is also a nickname 'Body Talk City'.
It was said that they were the reason why Lionel Messi didn't come to EPL.
Whoever the opponent was, there were a lot of players who suffered organ injuries while playing against Stoke City.
That's why Ho Young worried about this game.
If this was an ordinary EPL match, it didn't matter.
But the FA Cup semi-finals were different.
"They will definitely come out. Murder tackle is their tactics. "
"right. They may injure more than half and make forfeiture. "
It was not a bunch at all.
This season, Stoke City was more eager to win the FA Cup than ever before.
The reason was simple.
They are the third-oldest professional footballer in England, already 148 years old this year, with only one winning trophy ever raised.
Therefore, it was clear that they would save this opportunity from time to time.
Did not know what to do to advance to the finals.
There was a joke about the players.
"They have an extension in the locker room. I'm sure you'll come out one by one in the second half when you lose in the first half. "
They were not a joke.
The enthusiasm for the victory was so great that one of Stoke's defenders left SNS as soon as they got to the semifinals.
Ryan Shawcross: Keep an eye on it. I'll show you what men's soccer is.
It was a threat and a psychological warfare.
The intention was to put pressure on Man City to stop major players.
Man City had to worry about creating a selection.
Major players are injured in front of Chelsea and Manchester United, and they're going to be ruined.
'They'll target me for sure.'
In this situation, Ho Young was being advised by the people around him.
Ronaldinho said, "I use balance to avoid tackle."
It didn't have a 360-degree around view on top of the head, and even if Ho-young had a wide field of view, it couldn't avoid all tackle.
In particular, the opponent was very determined to fight the odds were likely to suffer.
In addition, Ryan Shawcross was good at fighting, and he was very good at fouling away from the referee's eyes.
Ho-young was not worried.
But Carlos Tevez, who had just returned from an injury, looked worried.
"What are you so scared of?"
"Mr Carlos, you don't know better. You've been with Stoke City many times. "
"So I'm not scared. I'm confident In fact, they are nothing. I'll ask you to go ahead tomorrow.
He wasn't scared at all, even after he returned from injury.
Rather, he gave a clear solution to Ho Young.
"That thing, just bump."
Carlos Tevez.
He was not afraid of any struggles.
Because he was so good at fighting, it was because of his special talent.

(Condition 4: get the know-how from Carlos Tevez)
(Hidden condition: open when one or more talents are explored)
El Apache.
Tevez, who grew up in Apache, Argentina's hotspot, is a Spanish word for villain.
The playstyle was also well suited, and the other nickname was the master of the fight.
He had a great fight, despite having a small 173 centimeters.
It's center of gravity.
With that alone, no matter how tough the fight came in, it was able to endure.
It was a coveted talent as Ho Young with the world's best physical ability and astounding talent of S-.
But now it was not like the bread of painting.
Since the FA Cup and Europa League semi-finals were advanced, only one talent could satisfy them.
And thankfully, Tevez gave his own advice.
"You have a much greater body than me. But if you get used to this trick, no one will touch you. "
"What is it?"
"You don't have to fall."
Obviously, Tevez was serious.
"A good fight means you don't fall down after all. And there are two main ways to not fall. To balance the whole body and to put the center of gravity on the lower body. The way I do it is ...
"The latter."
"right."
"So?"
"So. Put your weight on your lower body. And hold. Then the other person will fall out. No matter how radical he is. "
Tevez has given me some advice since then.
He told me how to use his center of gravity or how to fight against each other.
"But maybe you just don't know."
That was right.
In fact, it was the know-how he passed on to his colleagues over and over, but no one could absorb it and make it into his weapon.
It was a talent.
No matter how you let me know, it did not mean anything if I do not accept.
But Ho Young took it a little.
[Explore El Apache's center of gravity (U)]
This was enough weapons to go out before Stoke City.
You have to take time to tame it, but Ho Young has already overflowed with confidence.
April 16.
In the meantime, the game was bright.
Crowds came to Wembley Stadium, a football sanctuary.
Located in London, it is the only stadium for the English national football team, the largest of its kind in the UK.
Only 90,000 people can be accommodated.
The stadium was full before the start.
The crowd came to see the FA Cup semi-final soon.
On one side there was a red flag used by Stoke City, and on the other side, a light blue flag symbolizing Man City.
The game began in great heat.
[Stoke City had chosen a strategic 5-4-1 formation. It was very defensive to place Abdullah Faye, Ryan Shawcross and Robert Huth in the center back.]
[Manchester City came out with an aggressive 4-2-3-1 formation. At the front were Tevez, James Milner, Ronaldinho, and David Silva. As many expected, Woo Woo-young fell into the bench.]
[I'm not going to put it in the first half where players are active. It seems to have taken into account the risk of injury.]
In addition, James Milner was sent out as a starter in order to prevent injury from his favorite breakthrough.
Incidentally, it was Man City who scored the first goal.
[Go oh oh oh oh!]
[David Silva announces the goal in the first eight minutes!]
In fact, even if you're not the best member, Stoke City was a light press.
Hoyoung did not have to appear.
By the way, around 15 minutes.
The game suddenly began to flow strangely.
Stoke City scored a throw-in chance and made a smooth tie.
[Go oh oh oh! The heading goal is raging!]
[Lori Delap's throw-in was very art. There is no catapult!]
Human catapult that rated EPL with throw-in alone.
Assisted throw-in by Rory Delap.
A former javelin thrower, he was able to throw in over a distance of 40 meters and was able to throw in eight goals this season alone.
He even beat Arsenal with a throw-in alone.
In other words, it's Stoke City's tactics.
Man City has prepared enough measures, but could not cope with it.
Stoke City worked hard to make a throw-in and then scored a second goal.
To make matters worse, the trial did not end there.
Beep!
An accident that happened at the same time the start of the second half.
It was a clash between Tevez and Abdullah Faye.
[Abdoulaye Faye receives a yellow card and resigns.]
[The problem is Tevez.]
Tevez shouted loudly that he was confident and was finally injured.
Second minute late.
Ho-young was on the bench.
