Shooting Trajectory is Visible - Chapter 128



Only Krnovel

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

Harry Kane on the screen attempted a long-range shot. It was a great shot from a great angle.

And Kim Min-woo jumps up like a frog and makes a save with his right hand.

And then Corsic receives the ball and kicks it far away. Kim Shin-ah couldn’t bear to open her eyes and groaned while biting the top of her clothes.

“Agh …

My dad, who was watching from the side while eating chicken and drinking beer, burst into laughter at the sight.

“Oh my god. If you keep doing that, your clothes will all stretch out!”

“These clothes are already stretched out. And they’re only for wearing at home, so they’re okay!”

Bayern Munich vs Hannover.

It was a game that was hard to watch with both eyes open.

It was as if the match against Leverkusen last time was coming to mind.

At that time, Hannover’s goalkeeper was Sub, and now it is Kim Min-woo.

And in this match, Kim Min-woo clearly proved why he receives a huge salary of 6 billion won.

‘It’s completely different from the time at Leverkusen. This is an away game. And yet, this is such a great performance!’

In fact, when Kingsley Coman went back and forth with Harry Kane and beat his brother, he screamed and threw both his hands up.

My father also screamed like he was about to die.

Then, what a relief it was when fellow team defender Dominik Corsic cleared it away.

It felt like a hero appeared right before death.

“Oh, I’m so nervous, Dad. My heart is pounding so hard I can’t look at it…”

“Haha. The game is fun. After all, Hannover is only fun when they get beaten up. Okay? That’s how our son can play.”

I totally agree.

The more Hanover hits, the more Kim Min-woo shines. On the other hand, what if Hanover doesn’t hit and instead hits? Then the importance goes into thin air.

But there is a limit to this, and since the opponent was Munich, I was getting hit to the point where it was hard to keep my eyes open.

This is piercing.

I’m pierced.

Munich were really creative in their attacking, attacking and even coming close to scoring a goal.

But for now, it was still 0:0.

But to Shin-ah, it looked so precarious that it seemed like it could be eaten at any moment.

“Wow. Dad. The first half is already over.”

“Huh? That’s right. I’ll pick out 10 minutes just for the first half highlights.”

“If this was the sub goalkeeper who came out last time, it would have been 5-0 by now. Munich is really overwhelming.”

As expected from a team that unfortunately missed out on the Champions League last season, they have an absurd amount of power.

No matter how much Hannover has grown in weight by moving up to the first division, they are still no match for Munich!

‘Joseo is struggling against the tyranny of large corporations…’

And the real tyranny of big business has not yet come out. The real tyranny of big business will probably come out in the pre-season.

If you think a player is doing well in a small or medium-sized team, take them with you in a shopping cart.

If the buyout had been set high, they could have sold him for a fair price and brought in another player, but Kim Min-woo is already being eyed by numerous clubs in Europe, and considering his current performance, the buyout of 47 billion won would be quite a disappointing price for Hannover…

‘No. Hanover took my brother for free, didn’t they?’

If you take it for 120 or 300 million and sell it for 47 billion, it’s a huge profit.

The one who is truly heartbroken is probably Suwon Shenyang who lost Kim Min-woo right in front of their noses···.

‘Come to think of it, scouts, what are you thinking when you see my brother in action right now?’

Both of them were really trying to sign a contract with my brother.

It’s sad and pitiful. So why did you make such threatening remarks…

‘I don’t know about the scout, but that male scout’s negotiation skills were really bad.’

The person who took the contract with Suwon for granted.

It’s a mess! Phew!

Shin-A shook off his distracting thoughts and refocused on the game. And Coman again trampled Hannover’s defense as he had throughout the first half.

“Eww. Dad! I’m the one who’s the most scared!”

Coman was moving around Hannover’s defensive zone like it was Munich’s, and the door was open for a long-range shot.

Coman looked like he was going to get a kick, but instead he ran forward, lost possession of the ball after a tackle from Phil Neumann, and rolled around.

“It’s the first time I’ve seen a commentator so obsessed with nationalism···.”

Kim Shin-ah muttered. Her father corrected her while drinking his beer.

“It’s just as it is. What about nationalism?”

“Hehe. Is that so?”

It was a heart-pounding first half, but fortunately it ended without any problems.

If the second half ends like this, Kim Min-woo’s shutout streak could continue. Please······! Fighting, Kim Min-woo!

***

At halftime, Jan lost his calm demeanor and blushed for the first time in a while, which was unusual for him.

“This is not like us!”

Jan suddenly gets angry.

“What the hell are you guys doing? Are you being eaten up by Munich’s momentum? Why can’t you do your usual thing! Build-up, dribble, cooperation, nothing works!”

I listened to Jan’s words and thought about them carefully.

‘Isn’t this a very Hanoverian game?’

Recently, Hannover has shown good performances when facing teams of similar or slightly higher weight class.

But whenever we face ridiculously high weight classes, this type of match always comes out.

Just be a goalkeeper mode.

Since it was a very Hannover-like game that had been going on for quite some time since the second half, I had a hard time understanding Jan’s anger.

“If you pass, it gets stolen! You start passing the ball like you’re passing a bomb when the opponent isn’t even there! And then you get it stolen again! And Angelo? You pass to Coman because you don’t have anyone to pass it to!?”

I thought about it carefully again.

Those words, I think, apply to our national team as well.

‘No. This applies to all weak teams.’

They will have no choice but to flounder in the face of overwhelming weight class and look worse than usual. And Hannover is at an overwhelming disadvantage compared to Munich.

“Look at your teammates’ positions and give them the ball! If you guys were to fluster, even the great Kim would have conceded a goal in today’s game! Do you understand?”

Is this some kind of anger management service?

When the director speaks on my behalf about the things that upset me about my colleagues, I feel like the old weight is coming off.

Yeah… That’s right. That’s all true… More…

“Listen carefully. We are no longer the Hannover that used to play in the middle of the second division! We have moved up to the first division and we are going to stay here as long as we can! And as long as Kim is here, we will aim for the title if possible!”

Then, as if he had been waiting, the head coach comes in with the tactical board clattering.

Jan quickly gave us some new tactics to use in the second half.

I listened, but since it was a tactic that most field players had to concentrate on, I was preoccupied with how I was going to survive the remaining time.

***

And the Munich anthem rings out.

Kim Min-je, now a full-fledged Munich key defender, took part in the build-up by running back and forth beyond the center circle.

And then, watching Munich’s attacks continue from nearby, I let out a short exclamation of admiration.

“Wow.”

Are you impressed with Munich’s attack?

No way.

What I saw in every game was Munich’s offense.

Rather, it was an admiration for the opposing player.

“Kim Min-woo···.”

In fact, this is something that Kim Min-je also felt while watching his Olympic journey, but that guy is the real deal.

It is a great thing that a Korean goalkeeper has become the starting goalkeeper in the Bundesliga, but is he the key player in winning the second division and promotion? The key player in winning the Olympic gold medal?

And, the role of ace within a team?

And that’s a Korean goalkeeper?

Although it was clearly the reality, Kim Min-je still had a hard time accepting it and was bewildered by the situation itself.

“Isn’t that really an overwhelming talent?”

0 goals conceded since debut.

Even before his debut, he had 0 goals conceded.

The only goal conceded was in a free kick event against Lee Kang-im.

The world also suspected that this was done on purpose.

Even more so when you see that it was also given to Lee Chun-soo after that.

However, Kim Min-je thought that he was able to keep a clean sheet because he was unable to face a strong team.

Even though they faced powerhouse teams like France, Argentina, and Spain at the Olympics, weren’t they just age-group representatives?

When we met Munich, I thought that of course that young kid would also concede his first goal in his life.

But···.

Boohoo-!

“You blocked me again.”

Kim Min-je laughed heartily because he was so dumbfounded.

Are there any kids like that?

And more than that.

‘If Kim Min-woo becomes the senior national team goalkeeper… I’m sorry to Seung-gu hyung, but this is too much…’

He is a goalkeeper who has kept a clean sheet at the Olympics and has also been showing an overwhelming performance in the Bundesliga 1st Division.

Kim Seung-gu, the current national team goalkeeper?

I’m sorry, but I think it’s time for a generational change.

I respect Seung-gu Kim, but if his team is Shabu-Shabu and Hannover, wouldn’t I choose Hannover 100% out of 100?

‘I thought the future of Korean soccer was Kang Im-jae······ but that wasn’t the case.’

These days, whenever Lee Kang-im plays an international match in Korea, he receives cheers like a celebrity.

I don’t know what will happen to Kim Min-woo, who plays as a goalkeeper in a static position…

‘You showed it at the Olympics, you showed it with your team, and most of all, your mask is amazing… You’re going to get a lot of really pretty looks, right?’

Kim Min-woo’s call-up to the senior national team is almost certain. If he was not called up until now because of his U23 age group representative, he will definitely be called up for the upcoming evaluation match in November.

“Hehehe. Hehehe. I’m looking forward to it.”

First of all, we had to win this match, but it didn’t matter if the match ended in a draw thanks to Kim Min-woo’s continued saves.

So what if it’s a draw when the junior is blocking so hard?

‘If Minwoo becomes the national team’s goalkeeper, I will be able to participate more actively in the attack.’

Kim Min-woo has already proven his skills several times. Although he is quite young, he has been exempted from military service and is a goalkeeper with a bright future ahead of him.

“Kim! Switch actively!”

A fellow player relayed the words that had leaked out from the coaching staff. Kim Min-je nodded, although his heart ached.

‘Minwoo. You don’t have any feelings?’

Kim Min-je moved forward to actively pressure Hannover, which Kim Min-woo was guarding, as instructed by the coach.

***

“Ugh, I’m going to die.”

I hugged the ball tightly and took a deep breath.

It became even more difficult after Kim Min-jae started actively participating in the attack.

Kim Min-je, who joined the attack, seemed like a striker rather than a defender.

The opponent’s attack resource increased by one, making me have an even harder time, and yet the score was still 0:0.

‘There are 20 minutes left, but I think it will work.’

I thought as I sent the ball forward long way.

It looks like a goal will be scored within 20 minutes.

That was the feeling.

Of course, I still knew how to keep a clean sheet.

It’s a bit extreme and a trump card.

‘Should I just get sent off and keep a clean sheet?’

Run away to the exit.

It’s a bit shabby and petty, but a three-match suspension would have kept Hannover out of both Munich and Leipzig.

Of course, I wasn’t seriously considering it, which meant it was difficult.

‘Kane, Coman, Ignorance, and you too.’

In some ways, it may be brave to have held on until now.

‘If the Prophet’s Eye hadn’t been upgraded at the Olympics, I would have definitely lost.’

It’s annoying now that I can see multiple trajectories and they appear faster, but if it was the old version…

“haha.”

And then, here it comes again.

I was so shocked now that I let out a laugh.

Aren’t these kids boring?

If you haven’t put it in yet, then you should at least get tired now!

‘It’s the nose again.’

Coman was destroying the flanks throughout the game.

It was the same even then.

Phil Neumann, who was facing him, was comically pushed aside as he came up from the flank, and he passed a through ball to Kane, who was running alongside him, to create space.

‘It’s okay. It’s a kick. You can stop it.’

Two trajectories were created, one towards the far post and one towards the near post, and then it was confirmed to be towards the near post.

It meant to wrap up.

Kane pulled his right foot back and I prepared to dive,

“Ahh!”

Harry Kane falls down screaming.

Beep─!

At the same time, the referee’s whistle was merciless.

“Wowaaaaaaaaaah-!”

And the 75,000 spectators cheered loudly as if they had been there.

Behind Harry Kane stood Corsic.

“Ah··· Corsic···.”

You’ve been doing a good job so far, but now you’re causing a big problem again.

There hasn’t been anything to blame for lately, but it’s been a while since I’ve updated.

‘In fact, it was Harry Kane’s cleverness rather than Corsic’s unconditional mistake.’

I just touched it lightly, but it fell down right away.

The acting is top-notch.

Do you have to be at that level to be considered world class?

Corsic protested to the referee as if it was unfair, and his colleagues all went to ask about it, but to no avail.

We must recognize the German referee’s bold nature.

“ha.”

I prepared for PK with a deep sigh.

The kicker will be Harry Kane.

And Harry Kane was one of those kickers with a very high penalty success rate. He was known as the kind of player who would take a powerful shot that you knew you were taking but couldn’t block.

And then Corsic walks towards me with a sullen look on his face.

“Kim. I’m sorry. I’m sorry······ Please do it.”

I nodded slightly.

“I’ll just throw in the towel for saving the first half with this.”

When I responded nonchalantly, Corsic looked at me as if he was impressed. What the heck? Go away. You’re bothering me.

‘This will be the biggest turning point in this game.’

I felt it instinctively.

Munich constantly threatened Hannover’s goal, and on several occasions they actually came close to getting through.

But in the end, Hannover’s goal was not opened.

If we were to compare the current situation to an old war, it would be like a breach in a wall that had been tightly guarded.

There are many ways to do this, whether it was the enemy’s siege weapon, a natural disaster caused by heavy rain, or an internal spy who was persuaded to open the gate, but the important thing is that it was breached.

‘And what really matters is now.’

Kane puts the ball down with a stern expression.

What’s really important is that even if the walls have collapsed, the castle hasn’t fallen yet.

The enemy will not miss this opportunity and will try to capture the castle of Hanover, but if the defense is good, this attack will also be able to be overcome safely.

However, it is clear that this is a life-or-death crisis.

‘I just have to do well.’

I am Guan Yu and Lu Bu.

Since he has the ability to see the trajectory, he is not some idiot general who lets the castle fall just because one wall collapses.

‘I am Kim Si-min and Kwon Yul!’

Come here, Seo-Yong!

Beep-!

And the referee’s whistle to start.

After receiving a lot of energy from my ancestors, I entered a state of extreme concentration.

And only one visible trajectory.

‘This kid?’

Aim for the bottom left corner.

Harry Kane did what he does best.

In normal circumstances, half of it would have been eaten.

I guess Kane hasn’t heard any rumors about me yet.

Boohoo-!

“Tchcha!”

This is such an obvious shot, I know the trajectory so I can’t even imagine this!

I blocked the ball by jumping right before my opponent kicked it. I didn’t do anything stupid like dropping the ball.

Kane’s shot was so strong that I almost did it, but I somehow managed to catch it.

“Whoa! What the hell, did you see that? Everyone saw it!”

My Hannover teammates came running to me and celebrated as if I had scored a goal.

“As expected, Kim! I believed in you!?”

Why do I want to shout out Ronaldo’s Siu without knowing it? Well, whatever.

“Okay, let’s go before the referee says anything. I’ll get a card.”

I forcibly pulled the players away and kicked them far away.

It looked like they were going to score a goal earlier, but after blocking Kane’s decisive move, it definitely felt like it.

I think we can get at least one point in this game.

End
