Shooting Trajectory is Visible - Chapter 153

The power of tailored strategies

* * *

“Now, it comes out like this sometimes.”

I was loitering in front of the goal and laughing at the absurdity of the situation.

Until last year, the team was struggling in the second division of the Bundesliga.

A team that is virtually at the bottom of the food chain, having been relegated from the first division in 2019 and returned to the first division after five years.

And Hoffenheim, the kingpin of the first division, was only defending against such a team as if they were playing against a strong team.

It seems like our goal is a draw, not a win.

Naturally, the Hoffenheim crowd booed at this absurd strategy, but Hoffenheim’s tactics did not change.

Perhaps the opposing coach was aware of me and came up with this tactic.

Starting from the second half, continuing with a clean sheet through the Olympics and the first half. I am breaking records that are practically impossible to believe.

The opponent had declared that he would only go for one point, and Jan trusted me and continued to attack, but it was still in vain.

And as fate would have it, the opportunity to stand them up came.

Free kick chance.

I quickly ran to the area where the free kick had occurred and prepared to take the kick.

Of course, there were colleagues here who looked at me with suspicion.

“Kim. I don’t doubt you, but… … are you okay?”

Our Daniel Becker, who says he doesn’t doubt, but doubts more fervently than anyone else.

And the words he keeps saying are:

“Well, that’s what I’m worried about. If you miss a free kick, you might end up breaking the clean sheet.

“It’s okay. Thanks for worrying, but I can do it.”

“Confidence is nice to see, but look. The distance is too far. It’s too far to aim directly.”

It’s okay, Sip-tang. Go and grab a seat.

I told Becker my true feelings as best as I could, and only then did the persistent Becker comply and give me the free kick.

and.

Beep!

The whistle is blown.

‘It won’t be difficult. It’s far, but you can do it. And I’ve practiced a lot at this distance, right?’

I practiced at this distance a few times when I was in Hanover, and I also practiced long-distance shots during the national team training camp.

Rather, it was more likely to be used at close range than at close range because the defensive wall was weak.

I used quick accurate kick.

Fighting!

I ran as fast as I could and shot an arrow into their heart.

The opposing goalkeeper flew through the air but only blocked the air, and the arrow I shot spun as if it was going to tear the net before stopping.

It was a goal.

“I told you I would show you!”

He raised his fist and roared in the middle of the enemy territory.

Hoffenheim, you? You’re good at defense. Just do that. That defense will work against Munich.

But that doesn’t work for my free kick.

After a frustrating game, I celebrated my second goal for Hannover this season with the players.

and.

The opposing manager would like to deny it, but right after Hannover’s opening goal.

Hoffenheim start to pull up their line as if it were a lie.

After being hit with a sudden blow, Hoffenheim finally came out in earnest, and when Hoffenheim, who had been hiding their strength, pushed forward fiercely, Hannover was unable to come to their senses and was penetrated here and there.

‘Hannover can’t come to their senses because they’re suddenly trying to get hit while being hit throughout the game?’

I understand.

Hoffenheim, who had been lying there like a corpse, suddenly opened their eyes and came running with a hammer in their hand.

I can’t come to my senses when they say they’ll hit me with interest on top of what I’ve been hit with so far.

Fortunately, however, the coaching staff, including Jan, quickly changed to a defensive tactic, and Hannover quickly regained stability, and the game changed as if the palm of the hand had been turned over.

It feels like Hoffenheim has become Hannover, and Hannover has become Hoffenheim…

of course.

“Ugh! Kim! How is it! My devoted defense!”

Corsic was active in blocking the opponent’s attacks, perhaps because he had nothing to defend throughout the match.

I praised him while holding up the stick with my left hand.

“Corsic. You just sounded like Kim Min-je.”

“!?”

Corsic looks as if he is taken aback by my compliment. Then he responds with a double nod.

“No way, Yasin.”

I finished by nodding with a satisfied smile.

Dude, do you have any insight?

* * *

Hoffenheim, who had been lying down throughout the game and had not changed their momentum even amid the boos of the home fans, started to attack with such intensity after my first goal that it made you wonder if they were really the same team.

On the contrary, Jan must have learned from the tight defensive organization that Hoffenheim had shown in that short moment and ordered everyone to go into defense, which led to a one-goal battle.

Will Hoffenheim score an equaliser or will Hannover block it?

In fact, the answer to this question had already been decided.

I can withstand a full attack to some extent, but the defenders are packed tightly together to block the opponent’s attack opportunities?

“Tchcha.”

Then things will become much easier.

I blocked an obvious shooting angle with an obvious move, and the Hoffenheim fans cursed the opposing manager, who changed tactics without any basis, as if he were their lifelong enemy.

It’s so sad that even we, the ones dealing with it, feel a little sorry.

and.

Beep— beep— beep!

Hoffenheim ended the match with a 0-1 defeat, as if they were mirroring their own defensive play.

The crowd was so angry that they tried to storm out onto the field, and the security guards who were trying to maintain order were having a hard time holding back the riotous crowd.

“You damn fool, Matarazzo! I thought you came here to watch a game like this!”

The opposing coach shakes hands with Jan and quickly runs towards the exit. It looks like you’re going to have a hard time today… .

Kim Shin-ah was watching the Hannover vs. Hoffenheim match at dawn in Korean time when she saw Kim Min-woo score another free kick goal and burst into laughter.

[Kim Min-woo! Continuing his amazing performance! Finally showing his true worth in the Bundesliga! Kim Min-woo!]

[This is a goalkeeper that has never been seen before in the world! This is a type that has never been seen before in the world! I can’t even guess how long he will continue to surprise us and how far he will go!]

[Kim Min-woo, who has become a jewel of Asia beyond the jewel of Korea! Now, Kim Min-woo is shocking the Bundesliga! Like the field goal he scored last time, it was not a goal scored by luck!]

[Yes! Now, teams facing Hannover will have to worry about Kim Min-woo’s zone. The area where the free kick is created is Kim Min-woo’s zone, and if Kim Min-woo’s zone is blocked, it’s one shot, one kill!]

The fuss of the commentators.

Kim Shin-ah was just standing there dumbfounded, but then she burst out laughing at the commentary from the commentators.

“Our Minwoo Ham is going to tear his butthole apart.”

How far can you suck it?

After that, the commentators’ praise for Kim Min-woo continued.

I think this every time I watch a Hannover match, but the Korean commentators’ praise for Kim Min-woo sometimes goes too far.

of course.

“… Well, I guess that’s understandable considering how he looks.”

For now, today’s game is excluded.

They showed it again on replay, and the 35m free kick goal was really a crazy goal even when I watched it again.

It was a goal that fit the description of a wonder goal perfectly.

Naturally, the community was also impressed by Kim Min-woo’s third free kick goal.

[Hannover vs Hoffenheim Kim Min-woo 35m free kick crazy wonder goal ㄹㄹㄹㄹㄹㄹㄹㄹㄹ]

→Is this the Bundesliga Goal of the Year level?

→Crazy Wonder Goal

→Hurry up and make a statue of Kim Min-woo in Hanover ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

→ Boil the boiling water! Make a statue! Set up a statue!

→It was a really great opening game, but the goalkeeper solved it. He’s really the best goalkeeper ever.

→This is how you kick a free kick

→Crazy… Let’s go Puskas

→It was really well done

→This can only be stopped if Kim Min-woo comes.

→ㅋㅋㅋㅋIs it because Kim Min-woo is cold that Kim Min-woo has to be there to stop it?

→I can’t stop that

“Okay… I admit it.”

The game ended 1:0, and Kim Shin-ah turned off the TV with a proud expression and sent a KakaoTalk message.

[Kim Shin-ah: If you get caught, you’ll be sent straight to the goal. ㄷㄷ]

[Kim Shin-ah: One Punch Man Kim Min-woo ㄷㄷ]

[Kim Shin-a: First free kick goal in the Bundesliga, good job]

Ah, I’m sleepy. Let’s go to sleep first. I’ll deal with the unfinished community responses on my way to school tomorrow…

* * *

After the game, the repercussions were enormous.

First of all, all kinds of critical comments were poured out to Hoffenheim manager Matarazzo, who dismissed them like this:

“I will accept the criticism. However, my strategy against an unknown goalkeeper who has kept a clean sheet since his debut was the best decision. Above all, if it weren’t for the free kick, we would have taken the point as we had intended.

“When other teams were struggling to score against that goalkeeper and couldn’t get a single point, we would have gotten at least one point. I still don’t think my strategy was wrong.”

“… In the end, didn’t you lose?”

“It was an accident.”

“… … .”

Matarazzo argued that the process was correct, but an accident occurred during the process and the result was not good.

Naturally, the media, people and football experts were busy criticising or ridiculing Matarazzo.

Kim Min-woo, who ended a sluggish game with a free kick goal, was showered with praise.

What got more interesting was what happened next.

Hannover prepared for the next game, and the game after that, according to the schedule.

Hannover’s next opponent was Jean Pauli, who had also moved up from the second division to the first, and Jean Pauli was very defensive, just like Hoffenheim at their home ground.

It seemed that he was strongly influenced by Hoffenheim, and Jean Pauli lay down, saying that he would rather get one point than three points in the first place.

And this operation was on the verge of success.

If it weren’t for Corsic’s deflected shot in the second half of added time.

It could be seen as a goal that was a bit too much, but when Jean Pauli decided to lie down, Jan, who was reminded of bad memories from Hoffenheim, went into full attack with only two defenders behind him.

And Corsic, who was also in the same position as Jean Pauli, who was forming a sea of ​​people, suddenly kicked the ball that rolled to his foot and scored a goal.

That was a truly lucky goal.

Corsic almost fainted (or so I thought) with joy after scoring his first Bundesliga goal, and managed to silence Jean Pauli’s header.

But the Jean Pauli incident was only the beginning of things to come.

The next game was against Heidenheim, and just like Hoffenheim and Jean Pauli, Heidenheim also collapsed.

Although they were clearly a lower-ranked team, the reality was that if a Bundesliga team were determined to lie down, it would be daunting for Hannover, who had just been promoted to the first division this year.

In addition, the game became even more difficult because they were conscious of Hannover’s crazy free kick kicker and tried to avoid giving fouls whenever possible, and in the game against Heidenheim, Hannover ended up losing a goal.

“Oh my. I don’t know whether I should laugh at this or not….”

Whenever the opposing teams meet Hannover, they aim for a draw!

However, even if the opponent decides to defend, it is not easy to break through Hannover’s spear tip because it is not as sharp as other strong teams!

Even if they were to defend against teams like Munich or Dortmund, would Heidenheim be able to block them for 90 minutes? No way.

A team that is that good has the ability to dig a coffin and bury its opponent right on the spot when they decide to lie down.

Hanover didn’t have that kind of ability.

Ultimately, the solution to this problem is that Hannover will need to allocate additional budget to recruit a striker to sharpen the tip of the spear, but the problem is… … .

[A full-scale recruitment war begins for Kim from Hanover!]

What was meant to happen has happened.

From Hannover’s perspective, it wasn’t a matter of who to recruit, but rather keeping their own players was their immediate priority.

Kim Min-woo publicly stated that he would stay at Hannover and win the trophy, but as the transfer market actually approached, he maintained an ambiguous stance.

thus…….

“Kim! You’re staying, right? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh?”

One day, when Kim Min-woo was walking down the streets of Hanover, fans who recognized him stopped him and begged him to stay.

Every time that happens, Kim Min-woo… … .

“It would be great if you stayed in Hanover.”

He made fans dizzy with his ambiguous smile and ambiguous answers.

The one who drives both Pawa and Kka (there is no one who disses Kim Min-woo in Hanover) crazy… … the true superstar of this era.
