Shooting Trajectory is Visible - Chapter 161

Puzzle for the win

* * *

How do you catch an opponent who is sinking like a turtle’s shell?

In football, this proposition was historic.

Like the old adage, the solution was simple.

Just suppressing them by weight class.

If you really want to create a space to breathe by crouching down, you can do so by pounding and pounding until there is no space to breathe.

And as times and tactics developed, people began to study how to make their opponents lie down more effectively, and how to hit them more painfully, and as a result, ten-back soccer was abandoned.

Now was the time to just watch and lie down.

The current big European clubs are lying down with their stomachs full of the league’s famous powerhouses, and then creating an impromptu operating table on the spot to keep their opponents around until the end of the match.

But… …what should you do if a team that is relatively slightly higher in weight class or clearly higher in weight class comes out defensively against a relatively weaker team?

In this case, there is not much data to analyze, and even in such cases, it is rare to see it unless certain conditions are met (such as wanting to advance through the group stage in a certain ranking in a tournament), so the reality is that it does not come out often.

However.

“Fuck….”

Jan gritted his teeth as he watched Wolfsburg collapse at Hannover’s home ground.

And this was the real problem facing Hanover.

The defense was so solid that they didn’t allow a single goal whenever Kim was used throughout the league schedule, so unless the opponents were a few levels behind Hannover, they played defensively.

If this happens, Hannover won’t have to worry about being relegated to the second division, and their opponents won’t have to worry about losing a point by attacking them for no reason, so it could be seen as a win-win situation, but Jan thought differently.

‘Kim is leaving Hannover at the end of this season. This season is the best I can do to keep Kim. And, if I have Kim, I can definitely aim for the championship!’

There is a goalkeeper who never concedes a goal, but if you can’t win the championship with him, it’s just like the manager’s incompetence.

But what to do?

If an opponent of similar weight class were to fall, I would use tactical tricks to somehow score a goal, but how on earth would I do it against a relatively strong team… .

‘There are limits to tactics. In the end, you need a player who can most effectively implement offensive tactics.’

For that reason, the Hannover front is currently running around in all directions and is keeping a low profile to negotiate with the players they want, but the situation is still unclear.

‘It’s stuffy. It’s stuffy.’

After seeing Hannover going on the offensive, Jan gave instructions to his head coach to leave Corsic alone and attack with everyone, just like he did last time.

‘Let’s see if we can keep it locked even after doing this.’

Jan watched the game with his eyes burning brightly.

* * *

The league has come full circle and Hannover are finally facing the team they first faced.

Before we knew it, the Bundesliga had reached a complete turning point.

And our opponents, Union Berlin, have beaten Hoffenheim, just like Wolfsburg.

Even Wolfsburg were ultimately held to a 0-0 draw despite all that pounding, so it looks like this tactic will probably be quite popular against Hannover for a while.

Well, at least until I leave Hanover.

‘Ugh. If only there had been a free kick from a reasonable distance, I could have solved it.’

I had saved one quick and accurate kick for emergency use until the very end of that game that day.

Of course, I never used that one emergency shot until the very end.

It’s a shame, isn’t it?

The opponent knows that too, so they must have tried so hard not to give a free kick.

‘Thanks to that, I’m really enjoying myself…’

Is it okay to pull in 6 billion like this?

It’s Germany anyway, and it’s winter anyway, so when I play the game, I don’t feel hot or sweaty anymore, but rather cold.

I was so relaxed that I was seriously considering whether I should bring a hot pack.

‘If my long ball goes down without a hit, it doesn’t mean much…’

To begin with, Hannover only focused on attacking and didn’t even give me the ball.

All I’ve been doing at the stadium lately is helping with the turf work, loitering around the goal posts, or just watching the crowd.

After doing that, you will receive 100 million and 1,000 more as salary.

‘Let’s hope today’s game will be a little different.’

* * *

And as if it were a lie, I ended up doing Lupin’s salary again. During the game, I looked up at the ceiling and laughed in vain, wondering if this was real.

‘The Bundesliga teams, one of the best in the world, are scared of me and are going down… Is this really true?’

Would it have been the same if I had been in Munich or Dortmund? Wouldn’t I have been more competitive and tried to hit more? Well…

I wandered around the goal for a while, and eventually I ended up yawning.

“Corsic!”

And then I tried calling out to Corsic who was far away.

He doesn’t even look behind him, as if he can’t hear.

“Ahh… .”

But even so, isn’t it a bit much that the ball doesn’t even cross the half line? How can it not cross the line?

.

.

And this game, which was sluggish.

A free kick foul was awarded in a very good position, amidst the raucous chanting of the Union Berlin home fans.

Then, a shout is heard immediately from the coaching staff.

“Kim! Kim! Run quickly! Quickly!”

Jan jumps up and down and slaps me in the face. I nod and laugh. Seeing the manager reacting like this, I think my free kick has finally been acknowledged.

“Kim. This is a free kick that I earned with all my might. Solve it.”

Last time, Daniel Becker, who was doubting my free kick, now asked me to solve it.

“Kim. Please….”

Captain Henrik Fischer asked me in an urgent voice.

“I don’t think I’ll go in because it’s such a burden.”

Meanwhile, Corsic is making the sound of breaking a coffin.

I prepared for the free kick amidst the wishes of all the Hannover players and the watchful eyes of the Union Berlin players.

The distance was a bit far, but it was okay, and the opposing goalkeeper could be seen to be nervous.

Because the defenders were adjusting their positions while shouting loudly.

But it doesn’t mean anything.

The defensive wall won’t be able to stop my free kick.

I touched my nose with my thick goalkeeper gloves and waited for the referee to blow the whistle.

and,

Beep!

As soon as the referee blew his whistle, he turned on the quick and accurate goal kick and designated the location he had marked in advance.

Since I’m kicking from the right now, to the right corner of the goal.

Once specified, everything went smoothly.

I moved my body slowly, ran with all my might, and kicked the ball.

The ball that hit my foot was fired just like a tank firing a cannon.

The ball flew out like lightning, leaving the opponent with no time to react and only flinching in the upper body.

Meanwhile, the ball sails past the goalkeeper and crashes into the net, almost tearing it apart.

The stadium, which had been packed with tens of thousands of people, briefly fell silent, and the cheering voices of the Hannover away fans who had followed them here echoed faintly.

“Kim! I didn’t go in on purpose because I was afraid it would be a burden to you! I did a good job!”

And Corsic’s confession.

I couldn’t remember what happened next.

Because all the players came rushing in and they were making sounds like animals, and they were throwing me down and trampling me.

“N, I’m dying!”

I never thought I’d be playing the hamburger game I used to play as a child even in Germany.

And of all things, it happened to end up at the very bottom.

shit.

* * *

Hoffenheim’s curse was not easily shaken off even after the league restarted after the winter break.

Wolfsburg achieved their goal with defensive tactics against Hannover, and Union Berlin seemed to have achieved their goal as well, but they conceded a goal due to a free kick decision and lost 0:1 (just like Hoffenheim, it was funny how they quickly raised their power after being conceded a goal).

And the next game was against Frankfurt, where they brought Hoffenheim’s tactics and Hannover had to come up with another draw.

From Hannover’s perspective, the three matches resulted in a somewhat disappointing result compared to their impressive winning streak in the first half, but in any case, one win and two draws were still a pretty good record for Hannover.

And the current ranking of the top teams in the Bundesliga is,

1. Leverkusen 48 points.

2. Bayern Munich 48 points.

3. Dortmund 42 points.

4. Hannover 41 points.

5. RB Leipzig 41 points.

The changes were as follows:

Dortmund, like a cat’s homing instinct, has once again overtaken Hannover to move up to third place, while Leipzig has dropped to fifth place, tied with Hannover.

Hannover went up in points, but their ranking remained the same.

It was clearly a very good result for a team that had just been promoted to the first division this year, but for some reason, Hannover fans were not satisfied.

[This might be our last chance to win the Bundesliga!]

[If Kim leaves, how much longer will we have to endure to win the first division?]

Fans who were united by this incident persistently insisted on signing a striker, even if it meant scoring cool goals, and the front office also agreed with this position.

Now that I have a vibranium shield that can block anything, I need to somehow get a well-forged sword, even if it isn’t one that can cut through anything.

What also clouded Hanover’s vision was the fact that the vibranium shields were being sold for ridiculous prices compared to their value over time.

So, unlike Europe, which was on edge about whether Kim would leave or not, Hannover was focused on recruiting a striker.

[Hannover signs Philippe Coutinho!]

Hannover brought in Philippe Coutinho, who was once worth 220 billion won, in a bid to win the Bundesliga.

And this was definitely a big story.

Philippe Coutinho was once a great player, but he was literally a one-time player, and now he has completely fallen from grace, ending his career.

Steven Gerrard was also brought to Aston Villa in an attempt to regain his glory, but the attempt ultimately ended in failure.

Now, no European team was looking for him.

Except Hanover.

Maybe that’s why Hanover came looking for him.

First of all, since he was a star player who had completely fallen from grace, his price was not that high, no one was looking for him, and the player himself wanted to return to the European league even if it meant taking a pay cut.

…and so, Philippe Coutinho returned from the Middle East to Europe. Dramatically.

The legendary player who once played for Liverpool, once for Munich, and once for Barcelona is moving to Hannover.

When I heard the news of the transfer, I thought this.

“This kid got it.”

Kim Min-woo came to Hanover to take the bus and eat the trophy.

* * *

Kim Shin-ah waited for the bus wearing a cold winter scarf, gloves, and arms crossed.

After a while, when he didn’t come back, I looked around for a moment and blankly stared, and I saw a familiar figure.

“… Wait. This.”

At the bus stop… what should I call this? An electronic display board? There was a familiar face smiling broadly.

That familiar face was none other than Kim Min-woo.

Kim Min-woo was smiling brightly and holding something next to his face, which appeared to be some kind of cosmetic.

[Give way to your skin!]

“… No, what.”

As I was staring at the electronic display board in genuine bewilderment, a bus that had just arrived passed me by without waiting.

“Ah! Wait a minute! Sir!”

But the bus passed by without even looking back. It was the bus that Kim Shin-ah had been waiting for for 5 minutes.

“Ah… let go.”

In fact, since Orubunni’s income was as much as 6 billion won a year, no one would say anything if he started to treat things like buses and subways as nothing and just took taxis.

Who would say anything if you earn 6 billion and spend a few tens of thousands of dollars a month on taxi fare?

Mom and Dad would probably do that, and my brother probably wouldn’t say anything either.

Even though I said I would buy him clothes back then, I didn’t even return the card.

but.

‘Still, I feel like it’s a waste of money…’

You can travel around by bus for 1,100 won, but you want me to pay over 10,000 won per ride?

This was not a small sum, but an unforgivable amount in the brain.

“after….”

And more than that.

“Hey, what is this?”

Kim Shin-ah laughed in disbelief and quickly picked up her phone to take a picture of it.

When the camera took a picture of the scoreboard, a ‘click’ sound was heard, and the people nearby looked at Kim Shin-ah as if they were looking at a hidden camera criminal.

“Ah, uh… .”

What should I do in this situation?

Click! Click! Click!

I quickly picked up my phone and pretended to take a selfie!

And then he went into KakaoTalk and teased Kim Min-woo with his anger.

As embarrassing as possible!

First of all, I am in that state.
