Daisuke vs Momyung

The stadium was packed with people, you couldn't hear yourself talk because of how ecstatic the Cheers were as the players marched into the pitch in a single file. 

"My name is Park Jung and I will be covering this game together with my colleague." 

"I am Takashi, it is a wonderful afternoon and we welcome you all to the beautiful game of football. Let's see what it has in store for us."

"Let's get into detail here Takashi, what do you think the outcome of this game will be?" 

"We have a team that hasn't lost a single game this season facing off against a team that has lost all games this season. Arguably the second best team facing off against the worse team in the league, the outcome is clear, even to the blind."

The anthems are now over and the player shake hands with each other. 

Takashi continued, "it also doesn't help matters after Momyung Fc fired their main coach and hired his daughter to replace him."

This made Park Jung giggle, "who ever made that decision deserves to be in jail."

"Jail might be too lenient honestly." 

"Now let's talk about each team's first eleven, Daisuki is going with their usual squad and players. And the only difference in Momyung Fc is the addition of Lee Sung Min, a player who hasn't started in a single game all his career. And has only 5 appearance in the last 5 years. Takashi what do you think about this change?" 

"I will only sum it up as the little coach's inexperience, he had a spark of brilliance and she thinks that's enough." 

The players are now in their halves waiting for the referee who Immidiately blew his whistle and the game began with a pass by Daisuke." 

Sung Min felt jitters as he looked round the filled up stadium. For the first time in his life, he was starting a game.

"So far, Daisuke has had most of the possession." Park Jung said. 

"They have taken complete control of the midfield, all Momyung Fc is doing right now is defend." 

"It's like they didn't even train for the game, they're all over the place." 

"They are not even trying at this point." 

Daisuke's midfielder walks out of bounds, picks the ball and drops it by the corner flag for a corner kick. He takes some step back and then, crossed the ball into Momyung Fc's penalty box. Everyone in the box jumped up, hoping to make contact with the ball. After flying over a few people, the ball landed on the head of Baek Dong, Daisuke's winger. The contact redirected the ball to the post, and it went into the back of the net before the goal keeper could react. 

"It's a goal!!" 

The crowd erupted in cheers, and Baek Dong ran to the corner flag and did the knee slide. 

"Baek Dong scores his fifth of the season!!" 

"What a beautiful header!" 

"What saperates a good striker from the mediocre is how they utilise every chance they get. And Baek Dong rarely wastes chances." 

The game restarted after the celebrations was over with Momyung Fc still barely getting to touch the ball. After more minutes of just defending from Momyung Fc, the referee blew the halftime whistle. 

Both teams walked out of the pitch, through the tunnel and into the dressing room. 

"We are being cooked out there coach," Min Ho said to Kim Na-na the moment she walked into the dressing room. 

"You all have been playing very well, the defence has been solid and we only conceded from a set piece." 

"We conceded because they have been attacking us throughout the game. We've got zero shots on target, our midfield is not working and because of that, the ball is not getting to the forwarders." Horata replies angrily. 

"If we attack them thoughtlessly, it will leave spaces for them to exploit. You all have been doing well, just keep doing what you are already doing.":

"How do we score if we don't attack..." 

"We will strike at the right time," she then turned to Sung Min, "Can I speak to you alone?"

"Sure"

She took him to the side, "Sung Min, you haven't been playing your role well in this game."

"My bad, it's my first time playing in this role, I'm still trying to get a hang of it." 

"When we are not with the ball, I want you at the center, the attack has to flow through you." 

"Okay." Sung Min got up to leave because the break is almost over and many people already left the room. 

"Sung Min" Na-na called, and her turned around to look at her, "tell the world who you are today." 

 The players marched into the field for the second half to begin. 

"The first half was completely one sided, hopefully we see Momyung actually try to fight back in this half." 

The referee blew his whistle and the second half began. This time Sung Min hovered a lot more in the mid field, and still he barely touched the ball. Each time his defenders got the ball, before the pass could get to him, it will be intercepted by an opposing player. And the while team will have to go back to defending. 

At the 65th minute, Daisuke's left back crossed the ball into Momyung's penalty box from the wing hoping for a contact. 

And there was contact, this time, it on So Chul's head and he headed the ball out of the penalty box. Tae Hyun got to the free ball first and passed it to Sung Min who was close by. Immidiately, Sung Min took off with the ball like a sports car, from his own half, he ran with the ball at his feet, cutting past 5 opposing players like a driver dodging roadblocks. Some fell to the ground, those that didn't tried chasing after him but none caught up. Before anyone could gasp, he was already face to face with the goalkeeper who saw him drive the ball past him and into the goal post. 

The whole stadium went dead silent as he ran into the goalpost and picked the ball up for play to restart.
