Shooting Trajectory is Visible - Chapter 168



Only Krnovel

It’s Minwoo hyung again

* * *

“Hwaaam~”

Kim Shin-ah yawned as she waited for Hannover’s game.

These days, all the teams that play against Hannover have been playing boringly, so when they play against teams that aren’t worth watching, Kim Shin-ah almost always skips them and only watches the highlights.

But today was different.

Big match.

A match between the 1st and 4th place teams.

Hannover’s rise from the second division was nothing short of miraculous, but Leverkusen’s performance this season has been nothing short of incredible.

Kim Shin-a, who has now become quite good at Bundesliga, has gone from being a soccer idiot to a player who is quite good at it. In Shin-a’s view, Leverkusen’s performance this season was the all-time number one in Leverkusen’s history.

As of now, 16 wins and 5 draws in 21 matches. Although the Bundesliga has entered the second half after the first half, Leverkusen has not lost to any team yet.

It was an overwhelming record, but Bayern Munich was right behind them, and incredibly, the two teams were tied on points.

Despite not losing a single game, Leverkusen is now level on points with Munich.

There is a reason why they say that Munich dominates the league. Even if they are undefeated, they still have a tie…

“Munich has 17 wins, 1 draw, and 3 losses.”

Except for the game against Hannover, all games had clear winners and losers.

On the other hand, Hannover is currently in 4th place with 47 points. They are just 1 point behind Dortmund, and above them are Munich and Leverkusen with 52 points.

The gap between the scores is so narrow that if Hannover were to win this game, the top rankings could be shaken up.

In addition, the Leverkusen manager had made some very provocative remarks about Hannover and Kim Min-woo, so Kim Shin-ah was determined to watch today’s game even if it meant dying at school tomorrow.

and.

The game begins.

I watched it.

Kim Shin-ah clapped her hands, feeling a thrill she had never felt before.

“Wow. This is so much fun.”

How much ‘real’ football has it been since you last watched it?

Until now, most of the teams that faced Hannover had been playing like girls, but now they were finally playing a more manly game.

“Of course I am a woman too….”

So what? It’s legal for a woman to swear at another woman.

And during the game, there was something that was quite nerve-wracking.

[Oh, and that’s Leon Harpers, the coach of the South Korean national team. He was caught on camera going on a business trip to Europe to see Kim Min-woo.]

The commentators seemed to be speaking as neutrally as possible, but somehow there seemed to be something stiff in their speech.

Leon Harpus, who was caught on screen, looked quite serious, and that was only the first time he was caught, but after being caught a second or third time, he seemed to be having a lot of fun and getting absorbed in the game like the other spectators.

“Ah. I’m so jealous of those who get paid billions of won a year and travel around Europe.”

The pretext is to check the condition of the European players and watch a few games while traveling around Europe, right?

Even in the community on the mobile phone, there were posts full of insults every time Leon Harpers showed his face during a game. Kim Shin-ah also emotionally agreed.

Don’t stay there, go to the Paju Football Center and do some work! Argh!

The national team coach’s thoughts evaporated from memory 30 seconds after he disappeared from the screen.

Today’s game must have been so much fun.

Kim Shin-ah couldn’t take her eyes off her brother’s continued activities.

Actually, I was busy multitasking.

One side is busy watching TV, the other side is busy looking at community reactions… .

[Leverkusen vs Hannover Kim Min-woo, stop this ㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷ]

That scene was one where Kim Min-woo seemed to have a bit of a reflex, but he blocked it. Crazy reflexes. I couldn’t understand it even while watching. How did he do that?

→How did you stop it?

→No, Leverkusen’s attack is also bad, and Kim Min-woo is also bad.

→How do I stop this? I got a reverse motion

→It’s not like I ran in advance either lol

→Ronaldo come out! Messi come out! Mbappe come out!

→Except for Ronaldo, everyone lost to Kim Min-woo ㅋㅋ

→If we meet Ronaldo, he will not lose by decision, but just get completely defeated.

Kim Shin-ah glanced at the TV and quickly wrote a comment.

Damn it! It’s Minwoo hyung again…!

I quickly checked out the next post.

[Leverkusen vs. Hannover Leverkusen’s decisive chance, but Kim Min-woo!]

The scene was Leverkusen’s decisive chance just before the end of the first half.

A through pass to the side, a 1-on-1 situation, a tense crisis, Kim Min-woo blocks it, and it makes Kim Shin-ah, who was watching, scream.

In the screen of the community post, the commentators were shouting.

[Eww! Kim Min-woo saved it! Kim Min-woo saves it! Kim Min-woo saved Hanover once again!]

[Perfect save! Kim Min-woo’s save ability, which had been quiet for a while, is once again making a name for himself in the Bundesliga!]

[Because they have that ability, many teams that play against Hannover don’t come out too aggressively!]

“Wow. It’s still amazing even when I look at it again.”

At that moment, the TV broadcasting the game ended in the first half and went into halftime. Now, I can watch the reactions with peace of mind.

→If you block something like that, it’s sad. What should I do with the game?

→This is the level of thing you have to do to grab someone by the scruff of the neck and win an Olympic gold medal.

→God

→We do this every game and still rank 4th in the league ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Legend legend

→I use this taste as a goalkeeper for Chewwolkul

→Hannover will feel a sense of loss now that Kim Min-woo is gone. They used to have a world-class goalkeeper who would tell Yasin to go away, so they’ll be frustrated if they have to use an average goalkeeper.

→But every time I see Hannover, I wonder why their defense is like that. It seems like they’ve lost their flavor except for Corsic.

→A world line that only does Shichi well ㄷㄷ

→I’m Kim Min-woon, I was a little surprised

→Kim Min-woo doesn’t say things like that… .

Knock knock.

I’m Corsichin, but this is Kim Minwoo

Kim Shin-ah stretched out once and got up briefly to stretch in preparation for watching the second half.

* * *

The first half was a feast of delicious food at a famous banquet hall.

And the second half continued the tone of the first half.

Both teams kept moving around, pressing, attacking and blocking without ever getting tired.

I didn’t notice it because the focus was only on Kim Min-woo, but now I see that Leverkusen’s goalkeeper is also continuing to make great saves.

however.

“Huh huh?”

It was a corner kick situation for Leverkusen.

The ball came up, and Kim Min-woo, as always, seemed to block it without difficulty.

He blocks other things well, but his stability, especially in corner kick situations, is unparalleled.

But the opposing team’s lone striker, Victor, used his enormous size to push Kim Min-woo into the goal!

Kim Min-woo had the ball, and by principle, this was a goal!

And of course, the commentators who were relaying the news were screaming!

[Huh, uh, uh!? What is this?!]

[I pushed it! Kim Min-woo caught the ball, but Victor put it in the goal!]

“Wow. Since you can’t put it in with your feet, should you just push it in with your body?”

Kim Min-woo naturally reacted in absurd terms. He reacted in a ridiculous manner. Then, as if nothing had happened, he placed the ball in front of the goal.

Kim Shin-ah giggled at the sight.

“That guy is 100% acting calm because he’s scared the referee will award the goal.”

You can tell just by looking at the expression on the screen. He pretends not to know, but he’s running behind right now.

And the referee approaches and talks to my brother. My brother puts both hands on the referee’s shoulders as if he is complaining and makes a face like he is going to die.

“Kekekekeke. Oh, what is that?”

The commentators also explain the situation with a smile on their face.

[Kim Min-woo looks like he’s having a hard time even just looking at the screen.]

[As soon as Kim Min-woo got the ball, the opponent pushed him back. Um, I’m a little worried about Kim Min-woo’s injury. He pushed him right after he landed. He was pushed by the opponent and his posture was a little awkward, so if he’s not careful, his hamstring could get hurt.]

[Yes. It was Victor Boniface who casted the American football. The card didn’t come out.]

After that, the game resumed again.

The match between the two teams was in a tense situation where it was unclear who would win, but the score was still 0-0.

“Hanover. Our brother is blocking it so hard. Try putting it in!”

There were many good chances, but the finishing ability was lacking. If Son Heung-min had been at the top, he would have already scored two goals… .

Time passed like that, and 39 minutes passed in the second half.

It was Hannover’s chance to attack.

[Coutinho. Philippe Coutinho.]

Coutinho uses his signature crab dribble. It was an unthinkable attempt for a team of the same size as Leverkusen, let alone another team, but Coutinho had already attempted such dribble throughout the game.

And Coutinho’s dribbling, which had failed countless times, finally worked for the first time in the second half.

[Coutinho breaks through!]

[This is an opportunity!]

“Go away!”

Break through the opponent’s defense and get a shooting opportunity!

And then Coutinho gets caught up in a scuffle with another Leverkusen player and falls to the ground with an groan.

As soon as Kim Shin-ah saw that sight, she put her hand on her head.

“Oh my, really. I didn’t expect that… .”

Coutinho, a Middle Eastern player who does well when he does well, but is thrown into the underworld when he does not.

He kept falling down like that throughout the game, so maybe this time the referee ruled it a legitimate fight—

Beep!

[Ah! It blew! It blew! The referee awards Hannover a free kick!]

[Hannover has a ready free kick shooter! We have a shooter who boasts 100% accuracy so far!]

“Eeeeeeeeeee?!”

The referee gives a free kick here!?

Naturally, the Leverkusen players on the screen protested the free kick decision as if it were a penalty kick.

Several players approached the referee with red faces and protested loudly, but the referee ignored them with a strict, serious, and solemn expression.

If I continued to protest, he was going to even give me the card.

[Ahhhhhhhhhh! And the camera captures Kim Min-woo! Kim Min-woo grasps the situation and slowly runs!]

[When Kim Min-woo first attempted a free kick, there were many twists and turns and everyone was puzzled, but now he is becoming Hannover’s proud weapon!]

[Oh, look at Hannover manager Jan Rytl’s smile. He looks so confident about a goal! I don’t think he would be that confident even in a penalty kick situation!]

[Yes! Coach Yann Lytle has great trust in Kim Min-woo! Anyone who sees him would think they are father and son!]

Suddenly, I remembered Kim Min-woo’s first free kick goal. When was it? Was it the match against Mexico? I remember it more clearly because I saw it intuitively.

When I first saw that attempt, I was shocked and heartbroken, even though we were leading 2:0.

More than anything, Kim Shin-ah couldn’t stand the situation where she was being treated unfairly and being treated unfairly.

But now.

“The whole world is Kim Min-woo.”

Everyone in Hannover is waiting for Kim Min-woo’s free kick.

All Hannover’s opponents fear Kim Min-woo’s free kicks. If not, they wouldn’t be protesting so much about a penalty kick or a free kick foul.

Anyway, the board was set, and Kim Min-woo arrived at the free kick position.

Kim Shin-ah watched with a feeling of half anticipation and half worry.

Half of the expectations are natural, but it’s a goal, and half of the worries are natural, but it’s a failure.

“Ah. Even if I make a mistake, I hope it goes out of the goal line so there is no counterattack situation….”

Given what they have shown so far, it is unlikely that Hannover will give their opponent a free kick just because he fails once.

“Hey, Shin-ah. Aren’t you sleeping?”

At the crucial moment, Dad bursts into the living room, yawning as if he had just woken up.

Shin-ah nodded dryly.

“Just look at this and you’ll be fine. There’s not much time left until the game ends.”

“…You know you have to wake up at 7 today, right?”

“… … .”

Yeah. I know. It must be painful… . It’s okay. You can sleep on the way to school, and you can sleep at school. The college entrance exam is scheduled for this year… … but there’s still a long way to go until the college entrance exam!

“Dad, take a look at this too. There are 30 seconds left before my brother scores a goal.”

“…huh?”

Dad watched the TV screen with his eyes half open. Then he realized that his son was waiting to take a free kick and crossed his arms, exclaiming, “Oh?”

“Minwoo, will he score again? If he scores this time, I’ll have to go to work and brag about it. Haha.”

“Dad, everyone at work knows that your son is Kim Min-woo?”

At those words, her father blankly looked at Shin-ah. He had an expression on his face as if to ask her why she was asking such a question.

“Why don’t you know? Of course I know. I bragged about it a lot even before my son signed a pro contract.”

“Oh really?”

Suddenly, old memories come to mind.

My dad used to call his relatives. My mom used to brag to her friends. My dad used to brag to his relatives until his mouth dried, so of course he would tell the people at work too…

“But if you say something like that, don’t you get asked the same thing? Like, since your son earns a lot of money, tell Dad to buy you a company dinner.”

Dad chuckled at those words, finding them cute.

“Just shoot. Why? My son earns 6 billion won, but I’m worried he won’t be able to buy me a few meals.”

“Uh uh… … That’s not it, but isn’t it a bit weird if you do that every time?”

“Doesn’t it feel good? The company people are happy because they get to eat for free, and Dad paid for the meal so he can brag about his son until the end of the meal. Yeah?”

“wow.”

Is this a generational gap or something?

Even if I have a lot of money, I would feel wronged if they asked me to give it all to them.

And just as that little chat was coming to an end.

[Kim Min-woo is slowly moving!]

Shin-ah turned her head at the shout of the broadcasting crew. On the screen, Kim Min-woo kicked with all his might using his signature motion.

It was the corner of the goal.

Left corner.

It flew through the sky as if the opposing goalkeeper had read it, and even the direction was right.

but.

[I went in―!]

The words shouted by the broadcasting crew in unison.

Got in.

The Leverkusen goalkeeper was so good, but he was one finger short.

With that little difference, the shot almost went through the net.

“That’s right—! Nice Kim Min-woo—! That’s it! Hahahaha!”

Dad was happy and screamed even in his sleep. Shin-ah was happy and screamed too. It was the middle of the night, but our house has never had noise problems from upstairs!

[Awesome free kick, goalkeeper position, already the 5th goal of the season! The era of Kim Min-woo has truly begun! This goalkeeper’s nationality is South Korea!]

[Until the sport of soccer ceases to exist, there will never be another goalkeeper who demonstrates this level of skill! It has only been around for a few years, but I can swear on my career that it is true!]

I used to think that the shouting of the relay team was excessive, but now I think it seems plausible as Shin-A is slowly becoming a fairy tale.

And on the screen, Kim Min-woo did a ceremony by putting his index finger on the corner of his mouth. The already quiet stadium felt even quieter with that ceremony.

Shin-ah nodded with a pleased face.

“Dad, I think it was worth staying up all night.”

“I’m going to stay up all night with Shina~”

“… … ??”

My dad suddenly burst out laughing and said.

“There is something like that. You don’t know Star, do you?”

“Ah. I think I’ve heard of it… .”

Isn’t that an old game for older people?

“Wow. Now there’s a new generation that doesn’t know Star Wars. Hahaha!”

Judging from my father’s reaction, it seems certain.

Everyone plays LoL these days.

Of course I don’t do that… .
