Field control

Kim Chul-beom’s ball passed over the goalkeeper’s head. The goalkeeper, who had lowered his center of gravity and was mindful of both sides and his legs, did not even think about the ball above his head. He reacted late and waved his arms, but the ball had already passed.

Hwang Hee, who was closest, ran over and shook Kim Chul-beom. Kim Chul-beom, who had been in a dark situation where he could not see anything, only then came back to reality. Kim Chul-beom was breathing hard and suffocating. His heart was pumping hard, urging him to get oxygen.

Kim Chul-beom knew that he had scored. It was hard to describe. He just knew that he had scored without seeing or hearing. He could no longer contain his joy. Kim Chul-beom threw his head back and roared loudly toward the sky. The hardships of nearly three years felt sweet.

The Korean team immediately made a substitution. They took off Yoo Jae-beom and brought in Chae-woon. Chae-woon and Kim Si-woong ran left and right, while Cha Beom-soo ran forward and back, strengthening the defense. In an attacking situation, Cha Beom-soo moved like an attacking midfielder, strengthening the attacking power.

The German coach regretted his complacency. He insisted on a 4-2-3-1 formation against Korea, even though a three-back formation would have been the most stable. He decided that it would be better to use the formation that his players were most familiar with in the final.

The first goal was a free kick and the second goal was a corner kick. Set-piece situations are the most effective way for a weak team to score against a strong team. We conceded two goals, but we weren’t too nervous. We wanted to play steadily and find out the weaknesses of the Korean team. We wanted to figure out the weaknesses as much as possible in about 30 minutes and then we could start to move forward.

If you find a weakness and attack it, the opponent will also find that weakness and eliminate it by changing tactics or replacing players. Then, you have to waste time finding a new weakness. Germany hits here and there in the beginning of the game to find as many weaknesses as possible and then takes turns exploiting those weaknesses.

The team that is being attacked is not even aware of its own weaknesses. Even if it finds them and eliminates them, it can exploit other weaknesses. This is the secret to the invincible tank corps always performing well.

However, in less than 30 minutes, they conceded three goals. And Kishin immediately changed the player. The effort of nearly 30 minutes was meaningless. With defensive midfielder Chae-woon coming on as a substitute, the Korean team’s defense changed.

Now, the German team has only one choice left: to continue to attack strongly. They must think slowly about weaknesses and push forward with their strength. Finding weaknesses is the job of those sitting on the bench.

“Beomsu, move a little faster or slower than the opponent’s rhythm. It’s going to be tough.”

Cha Beom-soo is good at reading the situation on the field. He reads the overall flow regardless of the team. As Germany’s flow became stronger, he instructed the players to focus on the center. Gong Min-hoon and Han Yoon guarded both sides, and the remaining players gathered in the center.

Hwang Dong-geun is strong at handling high balls. High crosses from both sides were mainly cleared by Hwang Dong-geun, Gil Seo-jun, and Park Dong-chun. Kim Si-woong and Chae Woon cooperated with the left and right fullbacks in defense, allowing crosses but desperately blocking breakthroughs.

When the ball came to the middle, it was not easy to pass the ball because the Korean players were densely packed in the center. Even when dribbling, they were handled very carefully, making it difficult to break through. The Korean team’s cooperative defense was so good that even if you broke through one defender, you had to deal with the next defender right away.

“Everyone run forward. Keep changing the defensive line so the Germans can’t adapt.”

When the opportunity to counterattack came, Kishin shouted with all his might. Under Cha Beom-soo’s direction, he kept raising and lowering the defensive line, trying to show the German players a defense line that was always unfamiliar. However, Cha Beom-soo was extremely cautious in his direction. Kishin did not like that.

After bringing the defense up to the center line, they pressed the defense for about 5 minutes. Then they slowly moved the defense back. The Korean team’s defense kept changing, demanding new decisions from the German players. That small difference slowed down the overall attack tempo, giving them enough time to prepare.

Hwang Dong-geun caught Beno’s early cross. It was an unexpected cross, so no one could shout. So Hwang Dong-geun and Gil Seo-jun collided with each other. When the two fell to the ground, Ki-shin screamed.

“Get up, get up quickly. Don’t look down on me.”

Gil Seo-jun stood up nicely, bouncing his waist. Dong-geun Hwang slowly stood up and turned his waist. When he saw that there was nothing wrong, he raised one hand to let them know that he was okay. The referee asked if he should call the medical team. Dong-geun Hwang shook his head and answered that there was no problem.

Han Yoon was fooled by the opponent’s fake and broke through. Before the game, he had promised himself that he would show a great performance in this game. Compared to Gong Min-hoon, the right fullback, he showed too little in this World Cup.

But once the game started, all the distracting thoughts flew away. All that remained was the thought of wanting to win the game. Han Yoon quickly turned around and threw himself. The German player, who was timing the cross with his head up, tripped over Han Yoon’s leg and fell.

Since Han Yoon touched the ball first, the referee ruled it a throw-in. Chae Woon came over and tapped Han Yoon on the head. As they ran a lot while defending, they were out of breath and the players became less and less talkative. Only Cha Beom-soo and Kim Si-woong kept their composure and gave instructions to the players from time to time.

The ball, thrown with an eight-pointer, flew into the penalty area. Dong-geun Hwang, who had not expected it, missed the timing of his departure. Gil Seo-jun jumped as much as he could, but he could not block the German player’s header. The ball had no power, so the header was slow, but it went to a square where Dong-geun Hwang could not touch it.

At that moment, Kim Si-woong suddenly appeared and headed the ball away. The ball that would have been a goal ended up being a corner kick, but the German players did not show any expression of regret. The players of the tank corps did not express their emotions much, but only moved precisely like parts of a tank.

Hwang Dong-geun punched away a corner kick aimed at the far post. He collided with a German player and fell to the ground, but he got up very quickly. Thanks to this, he was able to touch the ball fired from the arc area with his fingertips. The ball that grazed Hwang Dong-geun’s fingertips hit the crossbar and then crossed the goal line, becoming a corner kick.

The German team’s corner kick was aimed at the near post this time. Cha Beom-soo, who took advantage of the position first, headed the ball out of the goal line.

“Cheolbeom, stand on the center line. Don’t go back.”

Kim Chul-beom’s body moved on its own as he kept giving corner kicks to the opponent. Ki-shin shouted at Kim Chul-beom to keep his position. We are three goals ahead, but I am still nervous. No matter how well we defend and don’t make mistakes, we can still concede goals. Like the goal Yoo Jae-beom scored in the first game, there are times when a shot that we had no choice but to make ends meet.

Hwang Dong-geun, who had come out, kicked the corner kick. Cha Beom-soo, who had accurately judged the trajectory of the ball, ran quickly and kicked the ball forward with all his might. A German player who ran late made a sliding tackle toward the ball. After the ball left, the German player’s foot hit Cha Beom-soo’s ankle. Cha Beom-soo fell to the ground.

The referee did not stop the game when Kim Chul-beom grabbed the ball and rushed forward. It was a situation favorable to the attacking side. Kim Chul-beom shot as soon as he reached the arc area. Since Kim Chul-beom is incapable of precise dribbling, if he dribbles one more time, the shooting angle may actually become smaller.

The goalkeeper who blocked Kim Chul-beom’s shot called the medical team. He felt pain in his injured finger early in the game. On the other hand, Cha Beom-soo got up and refused to come to the medical team while limping. He didn’t want to show weakness.

“We are strong and our opponents are weak.”

The players walked slowly up to take the corner kick. Kim Chul-beom was grumbling as if he was angry. It was a very good kick, but he seemed angry because the opposing goalkeeper blocked it. Ki-shin shouted to boost the players’ morale.

“We are strong and our opponents are weak.”

The substitute players and the medical team also shouted. The voice of Yoo Jae-beom, who was substituted, was particularly loud. He knew in advance that he would only play for 30 minutes in the first half. Kishin, who noticed the consistent strategy of the German team, prepared different tactics for the first 30 minutes and the remaining 15 minutes.

Kishin found out why Cha Beom-soo’s professional level was only 7. The first half is almost over. If it’s not a serious injury, you can receive treatment during the 15-minute rest. However, when the German goalkeeper felt pain, he immediately called the medical team and received a diagnosis.

After the World Cup, he must return to his club and play for his club. For a professional player, his body is his asset and capital. However, Cha Beom-soo refused to be sent in by the medical team in order to show a strong appearance. The player himself does not feel things like ligament injuries. There is even a player who played the whole game without knowing that his knee ligament was torn.

I have always been curious about Cha Beom-soo’s professionalism, which is only 7, as he trains diligently and never loses focus during games. Today, that curiosity has finally been satisfied.

Of course, Kishin knows that Cha Beom-soo’s injury is not serious because of the current on-site control. If it was an injury that needed treatment, the medical team would have been sent in right away. The on-site command, which was changed to on-site information with the tactical understanding stat removed, has now been changed to on-site control. The final match is under Kishin’s control.

The referee belatedly gave a yellow card to the player who tackled Cha Beom-soo. The player who received the card went to find Cha Beom-soo and apologized.

“The German team’s center is not in good condition. Hwang Hee and Gilsu are giving the center a lot of trouble in attacking situations.”

The German goalkeeper’s finger is swollen. He wrapped it with a compression bandage and sprayed it to prevent further swelling, but there’s nothing you can do about the swelling. If it’s around the eyes, you can cut the flesh to reduce swelling, but the goalkeeper’s finger is difficult to treat carelessly.

There is a high possibility that the goalkeeper will be replaced in the second half. If we attack the German midfielders who are not in good condition today, there is a high possibility that the central midfielders will be replaced in the second half. We are not afraid of a frontal attack at all. What is scary is that the defenses on both sides are broken down.

If the player change takes place in the center, Gong Min-hoon and Han Yoon, who have adapted to the two German wingbacks, will be less likely to make mistakes. When they are used to each other, the defending player has an advantage. In particular, Benona and the right wingback are not players who are good at breaking through.

I feel like I’m a god. The information about the stadium comes into my head clearly. I can just tell who’s in good or bad condition, who has what injuries, whose position is good and whose position is bad.

“Cheolbeom, go a little further forward. Shake up the defense.”

Kim Chul-beom, who scored two goals and even scored from a corner kick, cannot be ignored by the German defenders. If Kim Chul-beom’s position changes, the German defense will also have no choice but to move.

The defense was shaken up properly, but there were not enough players to head the ball, so Korea’s corner kick did not have much effect. The German goalkeeper failed to catch the ball and hit it with his left fist. Cha Beom-soo passed the ball back long to Kim Si-woong.

Gong Min-hoon and Han Yoon were just playing around, and the Korean team’s attacks were focused on the center. Germany, which was lacking in one attack opportunity, had no choice but to respond carefully to the Korean team’s attacks that combined penetration and passing well.

When the first half ended with a score of 3:0, the audience cheered loudly. The game was so intense that it was impossible to cheer leisurely during the game. Even the bettors who had bet on the Korean team out of patriotism or favor for the game cheered loudly in front of their computers.
