Shooting Trajectory is Visible - Chapter 127



Only Krnovel

=======================================================

Allianz Arena.

Even though it was only a match against Hannover, a team that had just been promoted from the second division this year, all 75,000 seats were filled.

‘Wow. This is crazy, really.’

I looked out at the stands before the game and felt the hairs on my head stand on end.

In fact, I thought I was used to playing in front of a large crowd in the second half and even after moving up to the first half, but that wasn’t the case.

There was something different about this home stadium in Munich.

It was a different feeling from competing in the Olympics. It was like being ‘overwhelmed’ before the game even started?

Before I could even come to my senses, the players were shaking hands.

I was shaking hands absentmindedly, and then I ended up shaking hands with Kim Min-je as well.

“Do your best.”

Kim Min-jae gives a short piece of advice.

That certainly looked like the composure of a strong person.

We’re definitely going to beat you and break your clean sheet record, so go ahead and throw a tantrum or something like that…

‘Hehehe.’

You dare to provoke me?

I still haven’t gotten over my second year of high school syndrome.

‘No. Calm down. If you get excited, you lose.’

Bayern Munich’s home stadium, the Allianz Arena, plays music every time Munich scores a goal.

The music is cancan.

It’s a really upbeat classical piece of music, and I think that song really blew my mind at the last Poka Cup.

‘I’ll make sure you never play that music again.’

I made up my mind to do this, but will it work?

Oliver Kahn said that too.

When a goalkeeper lets a goal in, it’s the defenders’ fault…

Can Hannover’s defense hold its own against Munich?

“Ugh.”

No. You have to trust your colleagues.

Soon Hanover gathered in a circle and gathered their strength before each taking their positions.

These words had the nuance of, “Let’s do a good job.”

I also said something,

“Defenders! Let’s do our best today! I believe in you!”

“I can already see Kim blushing and cursing at us in five minutes.”

“Wahahaha!”

Corsic’s joke. I laughed out loud too. I hope it’s just a joke.

and,

Beep─!

The game has begun.

*

There is an old proverb that says words become seeds.

Corsic’s drip after 5 minutes.

But in reality, it didn’t even take 3 minutes.

“No, what are you going to do if it breaks through like that! Defend, defend! Make it so the opponent can’t rush in easily!”

When the game of football starts, age doesn’t matter.

Especially Europe.

I was mad at Phil Neumann.

It was a tough call, but they were unable to come to their senses due to the opponent’s pressure and lost the ball, almost conceding their first goal.

I couldn’t help but turn my eyes.

“Don’t be discouraged, please! Just do what you usually do! It’s not like this!”

Phil Neumann responded to the anger with an apologetic gesture.

and.

‘Fuck. Again?’

It was Neumann again. It was Neumann again.

While Korsic’s skills have improved significantly thanks to his running mate, and Ari-eum-bi has also improved considerably as he is in his growth phase, Phil Neumann’s skills have either remained the same or have only slightly improved.

So it was out of balance.

Phil Neumann’s opponent was Kingsley Coman, who was literally tearing up the flanks just like he had at the Olympics.

When Coman dribbles to the left, space on the left opens up, and when he dribbles to the right, space on the right opens up again.

‘It’s just······an automatic door!’

It feels like I’m seeing the old Corsic.

Kingsley Coman played a one-on-one pass with Harry Kane into the box before sending in a cross from the flank.

‘Trajectory!’

Harry Kane’s header.

I quickly threw my body and blocked its trajectory.

Kane’s header slides into my arms and then slides out again.

The moment he made up his mind to catch it and moved his body, Corsic ran up and kicked him out.

It was a good defense.

“Good! That’s it, Corsic!”

Corsic winks one eye at my reaction. He’s so cute!

***

Kingsley Coman wiped the sweat away.

I didn’t feel good.

“Welche Münchner Fußballmannschaft kennt man auf der ganzen Welt?”

“Wie heißt dieser Klub, der hier zu Lande die Rekorde hält?”

“Wer hat schon gewonnen, was es jemals zu gewinnen gab?”

“Wer bringt seit Jahrzehnten unsere Bundesliga voll auf Trap?”

The Munich cheering song sung by 75,000 spectators at once. It is now familiar, but it is still a chilling roar.

Coman is French so it took him quite a while to understand the song, but now he can interpret it all.

Let’s translate it…

“Which Munich soccer team is known to people all over the world?”

“What is the name of the club that holds the best record in the country?”

“Who already has everything he needs to win?”

“Who has dominated the league over the past few decades?”

It was a question that everyone knew. An arrogant cheer. And the chorus bursts out.

“FC Bayern, the star of the South, will never fall!”

“We’ll be together through good times and bad!”

“FC Bayern, champion of Germany, that’s the name of my club!”

“It was, it is, and it will be forever!”

The 75,000 people cheering sent shivers down my spine and arms. And I made up my mind.

‘Feelings are just feelings. Don’t you feel good about it? Then just change it.’

If the opponent is good at blocking the gaping mouth, we can do a good job of putting the gaping mouth in.

Even if that’s not the case, if you keep knocking, it will eventually open.

Coman once again shined with his talents when given the chance.

Receive the long ball with a clean touch, shake off the oncoming defender with a clean turn, and run down the flank!

Instant acceleration. And then the subsequent rush. I felt the cool wind pressure all over my body, and looked around.

Not long after the game began, Coman broke through the flank several times and reached the penalty area, but it was not a significant step.

The important thing is to have a valid shot. And most importantly, to score a goal beyond the goalkeeper and into the goal!

‘Over there!’

Kingsley Coman flicked a right-footed pass to Harry Kane, who was vaguely marked, and then raced forward again.

Harry Kane flicks the ball back as if he knew it before he even received it.

A one-touch pass that leaps between the defenders’ feet. A pass that shows why Harry Kane came to Munich.

‘come!’

Countless match experiences had told me that this was a perfect goal-scoring opportunity. But the opponent was not a sensible goalkeeper.

A sensible goalkeeper would have let the ball go here, but that crazy Korean guy would definitely stop it.

so.

‘Beat it!’

Kingsley Coman entered the penalty box, received the ball and moved closer to the goalkeeper.

I know that no matter how hard I try to hit him or hit him ambiguously, the other person will definitely block me.

Well then, there is only one way.

‘You have to beat him and score like Mbappe did!’

If there’s a goalkeeper who doesn’t use common sense, then I just have to not shoot using common sense.

Kingsley Coman dribbled past the goalkeeper with a fluent dribble. The goalkeeper was fooled by Coman’s footwork and ended up completely down on his butt, and now it was a complete mess!

‘Goal! It’s a goal!’

All that appeared in front of Coman was an open goal. Now all he had to do was kick it with his foot. Kick it with his foot-

Boohoo─!

“······?”

And then shoot until you die.

It wasn’t Coman’s kick. It was a nearby defender who quickly ran up to him and hit the ball.

The shot flew far into the stands, and Coman blinked in bewilderment at the wasted opportunity.

“That’s it!”

And Kim latches on to the defender and showers him with praise.

“Korsic! You’re finally getting what you pay for!”

“Kim. I’ve always been a defender who does more than one person’s job.”

A goalkeeper who clings to a defender with his eyes rolled back. And a defender who is pleased with such a goalkeeper but secretly finds it annoying.

Coman let out a hollow laugh.

“This was definitely a goal···.”

If only I had reacted just 0.1 second faster.

Then I would have given Kim his first goal.

Fuck.

The audience also seemed very disappointed, but they continued to applaud the attacking opportunities that were created.

Will I be able to score a goal if I continue like this?

If it were a normal game, that would be the case, but… honestly, this game…

‘The flow is similar to last time. I have to put it in whenever I can···.’

It was the same at the Olympics, but Korea lost after scoring a goal out of the blue.

Coman was overcome with a sense of crisis that the same thing might happen in Munich.

But all Coman could do was run hard here, and since that was his only option, he decided to try harder.

Above all,

‘That guy isn’t invincible either. It’s surprising that he hasn’t conceded a goal so far, but he can concede a goal at any time. He’s not an alien.’

And this isn’t even a national team by age group.

The best team in the Bundesliga. No?

It was one of the best clubs in Europe, and even in the world. It wasn’t a club that couldn’t be surpassed by a mere kid.

“Comang. Good try.”

Harry Kane’s sayings.

Coman nodded and prepared for a corner kick.

***

‘It was really, really scary. I almost got eaten.’

If.

If Corsic’s name didn’t include ‘Sichi’.

I probably wouldn’t have given Corsic my running mate. I gave Corsic my running mate because he reminded me of Ko Young-jun.

And if Corsic didn’t have a running mate, he probably would have been the one packing his bags this season.

Thinking about it that way gives me the creeps.

Could Phil Neumann, Ariumbi, Halstenberg or Werner have just denied Coman’s perfect opportunity?

I don’t know, but maybe···.

“after.”

It was a lull now.

The corner kick fortunately went through without incident, and Hannover then got the ball.

Hannover, although not in control of the game, continued to pass the ball around and look for opportunities.

‘By the way, this is really······ what should I say? The only weakness?’

The Prophet’s Eye shows the shooting trajectory.

And this time, the improved Prophet’s Eye makes the shooting trajectory faster and more visible.

but.

‘There’s no answer if you come in dribbling like this.’

I can’t see the trajectory.

When an opponent tries to dribble past me, the trajectory is visible too late.

‘Mbappe is a savage. He’s already shown me how to dribble past me and score into an empty net.’

Fortunately, I survived that time thanks to the offside, but you can’t rely on that kind of luck every time.

‘And now, with Coman getting pierced once more, all the teams know how to destroy me.’

In fact, it’s very rare for this situation to occur, but now the attackers who face me may consider dribbling past me as their first option.

Didn’t the old player Fernando Torres enjoy beating goalkeepers and scoring?

‘Whenever you play soccer with me from now on, it’ll be like old soccer again.’

I pressed my eyebrows with both palms.

In the first year, I regretted giving Corsic my running mate and had my doubts, but now Corsic was proving himself.

I was very happy about that.

By the time I leave, Corsic will probably be Hannover’s established centre-back.

In future contract renewal negotiations, his past performance will be recognized and he will receive a higher salary.

I thought that Corsic, standing far away, looked sturdy today.

“Corsic···.”

Now we are truly ‘running mates’.

I was proud. It felt like it had finally come to fruition.
