40 CHAPTER 69 - First World Cup (2)

September 10, 2005.

As DMB phones, which can watch TV on mobile phones, became commercially available, the same anchor voice came out from various places on the road to work today.

[Yes. Today's news is that the U17 World Cup national team, who was hailed by migrants in Miami, left for Peru. The national team said they still had a week before the first game with the United States and made a new leap forward with certain preparation.]

Despite the Youth World Cup, the word "World Cup" has once again lit the hearts of the people.

Moreover, winning the last U16 Montague competition inflated expectations for the public.

At that time Peru Chiclayo.

Korean athletes arrived at the base camp training ground in Chiclayo, northwestern Peru.

As soon as the team unpacked the hotel, they began training for adaptation at the nearby stadium.

I was worried because Peru is a country with a lot of alpine land, but Chiclayo was a city less than 50 meters high.

"Concentration! The United States is regarded as the weakest, but it is no match. As my sister said, the midfield is very tight. Then what are we? "

"" It's a press. ""

"right."

The players seemed to be nervous as their discipline climbed.

Not surprisingly, the U17 national team has traditionally been weak in the poisonous World Cup, especially in the last three games, with a record of 1 win and 2 losses.

The biggest reason was Woo Woo-young.

Ho Young appeared in two of the last three evaluations, and was unable to perform properly due to jet lag or physical condition due to the need to fly a long-distance flight from Brazil.

In other words, it proved how much influence there was on the team.

But this World Cup was different.

There was still a week left before the first round of the World Cup, and he was planning to complete his strategy for the quarter-finals by trimming the base camp.

"You must win in America. The second leg is Ivory Coast, and the third leg is Italy. "

Group C, which consists of the United States, Korea, Italy and Ivory Coast, has already been outlined in the quarter-finals, with the prevailing opinion that Italy will be ranked first.

Therefore, Korea will have a foothold to advance to second place after winning the first leg.

"Hey, hey, you bastards. Don't be scared. The United States is also in bad shape, with a 1-4 loss in the last five games. "

The base camp in the middle of nowhere was covered with tents so that it could not be seen from the outside.

Reporters as well as the general public was prohibited.

The correspondents, however, had temporary access, and brief interviews were conducted so as not to interfere with training.

The first hitter was Park Kyung-woon.

"I received a failing grade in the previous match, but I think I can get good results if I adjust my condition well."

"Yes, thank you. Can I interview Woo-Young Woo? "

"Ho Young! Ho Young! "

Immediately after Woo Ho-young was seated, the reporter poured out questions like waterfalls.

"Woo Woo Young. You've been pointed out that your fight was weak at the last Montague contest. Is that a bit complementary? What do you think of this competition? "

"You are yourself. It was a short time of six months, but I think I've had enough of it. "

"haha. That's a lot of confidence. Then can we expect the first game against America? "

"I will show you."

September 16.

The tournament kicked off, with China and Costa Rica confronting each other.

And the next day, September 17.

It's 1:00 pm when the sun goes down.

Since it was a competition that attracted a lot of people's attention, it was dispatched to MBS for live broadcasting.

[Hello, viewers. This is the Elias Aguirre Stadium in Chiclayo, Peru. Finally came. We will broadcast you the World Youth Championships under 17, Korea and the United States. Park Moon-seok commentator.]

[This is Park Moon-seok who commented on today.]

[Yeah. As I mentioned earlier in the briefing, I think we have a compulsion that we must win. How do you see it?]

[So it is. In Group C, Ivory Coast had an unusual match with Italy. So we must beat our first opponent, America.]

[i See. I hope our players will support you. But how many crowds came to the stadium?]

1:10 pm.

There were 18,000 spectators at the stadium.

It was to watch Group C matches between Korea and the United States, more than 3,000 more than the average crowd of Group A and Group B matches.

The protagonist is none other than Woo Ho Young.

If he did, the youngest record in the U-17 World Cup would be renewed today.

Soon after, 22 players made their way through the aisles and appeared on the field, followed by enthusiastic applause.

Woo Young-young, who was 4.6 years younger than the average age of the contestants, was as exceptional.

Later, the national anthem filled the stadium with the American Stars and Stripes.

"Preserving the road to great for one person for three years."

After the national anthem, 22 players shook hands.

Hoyoung's eyes were busy.

'There is no player to do this.'

Sometimes players with C-class talent were seen, but that was all.

Although the United States has great potential in terms of national capability, soccer is a very unpopular sport.

If you still need to be careful about two players.

Defender Jackson and striker Ryan.

'Ryan is the best on the team for talent.'

Ryan Soroka

Talent

-Football Receipt (C + 3)

Biting and running (B)

Fast legs with motor (B-)

-Formally volley kick (C + 2)

(If you meet the conditions, you can find one talent.)

(Condition 1: Once to take the ball)

(Condition 2: To win or win a match)

At age 18, he wasn't very talented in football, but he was very fast.

There was one talent that could be coveted as Hoyoung.

Pretty form I volley kick (C + 2).

'If you strengthen it, you can promote it.'

If you upgrade to another talent, perfect.

That finally.

Beep!

Ho-young's first World Cup match began.

[South Korea on the left, United States on the right. The U17 World Cup Group C game begins. At the same time, the World Cup record was updated. It's a really meaningful day.]

[That's right. South Korea's proud '우호영' renewed the record for the youngest U17 World Cup. Woo Ho-young succeeded to advance the record of 13-year-old African player by 342 days. It's a historic moment to draw a stroke in the football world.]

A few years ago, it was said when a 13-year-old African player had a record of entry.

He is a player only for the record. It is a record that can never be broken as long as modern football continues to develop and unless monsters emerge.

But in just a few years Woo Woo-young was renewed today at the age of 12 years and 63 days.

Thump.

Perhaps because the heart of Hoeyoung could not stand still for a while.

I thought that he was playing the World Cup, which was eating chicken at the pub, and I was excited.

Of course, it is a youth world cup, but for today's Ho Young, it was like an adult world cup.

My heart fluttered.

The feeling became clearer and the body slowly began to tense.

I was thoroughly prepared, but I had no experience standing on a big stage, so I couldn't help trembling.

But it's been a while.

The game began, stepped on the grass, touched the ball a few times, and the tension slowly eased.

It was then that Ho Young began to play his own game.

[Ah ~ Woo-young, who is down to the attacking midfielder, is moving diligently.]

[That's it. If you look at it, the tight waistline of America is slowly loosening.]

At the end of the commentary, as the US mid-term was loosened, the movement of the Republic of Korea was alive.

But it was the United States that preoccupied the decisive opportunity.

First half 20 minutes.

During the fierce ball fight, the ball that flowed out of the midfield headed for the Korean defense.

Ryan snatched the ball.

Percussion!

Ryan didn't look behind, but tried to break through straight ahead.

But not even 10 meters away speed died.

Ho-young, who ran like a storm from the rear, was struggling.

"profit."

Ryan persisted in spite of his dwarf confinement.

As a team ace, I didn't want to be beaten by a four year old.

But that didn't work out as desired.

"켁."

When Ho-young put his shoulders in the race for speed, Ryan could not hold up the heavy pressure and fell down.

Ryan got mad and raised his hands, but the referee resumed the game.

Because it was a legitimate struggle for anyone.

"What ah. crazy."

The ball was stolen by Ryan.

As soon as he fell, he should show up trying to seize the ball again, but he had no will.

It was helplessness that resulted from overwhelming skill difference.

First 40 minutes.

As a bitter wind blows, Gu Ja-young's fast pass threatens the United States.

Nevertheless, American defense was firm like a deeply rooted tree.

It was thanks to Jackson struggling at the center of a solid defense.

And Hoyoung was hanging around.

"flea."

No matter how provocative Jackson came, Hoyoung didn't care much.

It was no surprise that I had experienced so many times while playing in the Brazilian League.

Now it's everyday and it's too sad to have no nerve wars.

That carefree look made Jackson come to life.

'Where shall we bother you?'

Jackson pulled out his organs.

In addition to dirty play, he is stuck as a mosquito and sticks like a mosquito.

It was a skill that was polished by the Kansas City youth team, a major American football league.

Soon the opportunity came.

Percussion!

When Ho-young backed the goal and received a pass, Jackson fought.

I was going to pull the back of the uniform.

At the same time, however, Jackson's face was contemplating.

'what···.'

What is this?

Something that is hard to explain in words.

'Ah.'

Yes, that's it.

It's like pushing a huge rock.

Ho Young was bigger and better than Jackson, but there was a three year old.

Three-year-old differences in childhood are physically huge, so Jackson of course knew he would win.

Instead of winning, Ho Young didn't budge.

Instead of being pushed back, Jackson attempted to break through at the same time.

'This isn't it? ········?'

"Cuck!"

If something is wrong, it is firmly wrong.

But when I realized it, it was already late.

Following the struggle, Woo Ho-young was distracted by the instantaneous speed and opened the road completely.

From that moment, the 20-meter solo of Roh Young began.

The American goalkeeper ran out of the field, but he couldn't respond to an elaborate and quick kick.

Hoyoung's toes went off the ball after being sucked into the net.

Beep!

The referee blows the whistle and announces the first goal with the sound of shaking the net.

A thunder-like shout burst from the commentary desk.

[goal! Woo Young Player! Go! Goal! Woo Young-young achieves the first goal in the tournament !!]

[Really amazing. 12 years and 63 days! You change the youngest score!]

A good start.

The cruise of the Korean national team continued until the end of the match.

Even in the second half, he controlled the game throughout the game and made it clear what the difference was in America.

Using the once collapsed US midfielder, Gu Ja-young stabbed a key pass across the center, and Ho-young showed off the scoring through the overwhelming invasion of the pass and the decisive goal decision.

20 minutes after the start of the second half, he scored an additional goal.

[Aaaahhh! Woo-young Woo, I'm very excited today! Second goal !!!]

[great. How many days did Woo Ho-young not interview this? The interview that I'm going to show you I'm confident. That word touches my heart.]

And late 30 minutes.

Ho Young's key pass led to Lee Cheong-ryong's score, which led to victory.

Ho-young, who was later replaced for a health acupuncture, walked the pitch, receiving applause from the crowd.

At that age, playing U17 wasn't easy.

The actual run time was only 75 minutes, but I felt it was different from the U15.

I felt the need to steadily increase the stamina.

Then in the second half 45 minutes.

Beep!

As the whistle rang to announce the end of the game, good news came in front of Ho Young.

[Choose the talent you want to covet]

-Formally volley kick (C + 2)

There was only one thing to choose, so there was no need to worry.

Immediately sought the talent of volley kick.

As a result, the existing form I volleyball volleyball (C + 3) was upgraded one step.

[Sharp kick (B-) ↑]

[You can transfer sharp volleyballs (B-) to other talents. will you do it?]

'It's better to transfer to strong stamina.'

As a result, the sharp volley kick (B-) disappeared as the foundation of the strong stamina (B-), and the stamina grew one step further.

[Strong Stamina (B) ↑]

It was a pity that the talent of the volleyball disappeared, but this is not the end.

If you go to a professional stage later on, you might meet a player with a S-A volleyball talent.

On the day, Ho Young, who was selected as the MOM game, changed his record to the youngest MOM, and made his name three times on the new FIFA record.
