Episode 211 Cruising

Premier League 13R.

Nuno Santo’s Wolverhampton Wanderers defended with nearly 1000 men and played a sticky, swamp-like style of football against Barnet.

But Barnett is also a team that has a knack for dismantling teams like this.

I didn’t approach it hastily.

Tub-

[Bruno Fernandes. He catches the ball and runs forward.]

For the attacking task, Fernandez draws the opposing striker Neto into a position where he can shoot from mid-range.

As Neto rushed to press, the Barnett players began to move in unison.

Tung-

Rodri received the ball from Bruno’s flank and immediately returned the pass.

Bruno ran into the opponent’s box with Neto on the line, causing confusion in the opposition’s defense, and then succeeded in turning the ball back to Rodri with a one-touch touch.

De Bruyne takes advantage of a chance in a naturally open space.

[It’s a natural, flowing play.]

[De Bruyne!]

A position where both mid-range shots and passes are possible.

De Bruyne’s choice was a ground cross.

bang-

The ball rolls at high speed and passes between the Wolverhampton players.

The ball, which appeared to be heading over the goal line, was caught by the toe of Holland, who was diving on the other side.

[Wolverhampton showed good defense against Barnet. Eventually, they collapsed.]

[Holland is scoring again today. Where does this player come from?]

[Most attackers wouldn’t have been able to even touch the ball just now. It’s a finish possible only for the tall Holland player.]

[De Bruyne’s pass was great, but Holland’s finishing was really impressive.]

[Barnet FC won 3:0 against Wolverhampton.]

[Wolverhampton supporters can’t help but feel calm at the sight of manager Nuno Santo setting a 100 mark even when they are losing.]

[Nuno Santo, Manager. ‘This is the best we can do against Barnett.’>

Barnet FC recorded 12 wins and 1 draw (37pt) with a comfortable victory over Wolverhampton.

Considering that Manchester City, which is in second place in the league, has recorded 7 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses (24 PT).

It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were maintaining an overwhelming pace of winning points.

An overwhelming performance that made some impatient people go around saying that the championship race was already over.

However, even successful families have their own worries.

Right after the game ended.

Hyunwoo, who was checking the team’s mood through De Bruyne as usual, heard unexpected news.

“Is Mohammed not his usual self?”

“yes.”

Hyunwoo’s expression became serious after hearing Kevin’s answer.

“How specifically?”

“Unusually, he hasn’t shown up at the restaurant and he looks listless.”

“and?”

“After training, the players usually get together and play table tennis, right? But these days, they go straight home.”

“Uhm….”

Hyunwoo thought of the part that was bothering him.

‘Now that I think about it… .’

Before the season started, Barnett was pushing for renewal of contracts with existing players.

At the time, Hyunwoo had teased that he would develop the team’s tactics with Salah as the central figure.

Of course, it was more like an empty promise meant to lighten the mood rather than a serious promise.

‘From Salah’s perspective, expectations might have been high… .’

But the arrival of a player named Holland was enough to change Barnet’s system.

Barnett originally used Pulse Nine and mainly used tactics that maximized the destructive power of wingers.

However, with the arrival of a finisher like Holland, the team’s finishing role naturally became more central, and Salah’s role as a scorer was inevitably reduced.

‘Having multiple suns in a team isn’t always a good thing.’

Even if it isn’t outwardly apparent, players tend to keep each other in check.

Rather, Jamie Vardy’s case, which shows a dedicated attitude towards the team, is closer to a special case.

“Okay, I understand.”

Hyunwoo, who sent De Bruyne back, observed Salah’s every move from the next day.

‘Kevin was right.’

While the other players went to the restaurant.

Hyunwoo found Sala practicing trapping alone and approached her.

“Aren’t you going to eat?”

“I have no appetite.”

“okay?”

Hyunwoo, who was massaging Sala’s shoulder, asked with a serious expression.

“Is there anything going on these days?”

“…Nothing much.”

Contrary to the answer that there was no problem, Hyunwoo did not miss the momentary hesitation that passed across Sala’s expression.

‘I wonder what happened?’

But I didn’t ask any questions in detail.

There was no benefit in forcing the player to talk if he was reluctant to do so.

Instead, he made some changes.

The Premier League match is held in 5 days.

A slightly modified starting lineup.

“In this match, Vardy will play as the striker up front.”

“ah….”

When Hyunwoo relayed this information, Holland’s face darkened.

However, Hyunwoo also had some excuses.

“I heard from the medical staff that you have a mild cold?”

“It’s not that bad.”

“It’s your first season in the Premier League. Don’t underestimate the senior league. Don’t get carried away by one game and look at the long term.”

“All right.”

Hyunwoo’s efforts for Sala did not stop there.

“Militan. Leave the rear to Rodri and actively overlap. If you enter the right flank, the pressure on Salah will be dispersed.”

“Body comes down to the second line and receives and goes in. You have to keep dragging out the opponent’s center backs to create space. At the same time, by moving to the side, you open up space for Salah to enter.”

Hyunwoo prepares the stage for Salah to play ahead of the game.

And it had an immediate effect.

PL 14R.

The match against West Ham.

Tad-

Taking advantage of the gap between Body and Militang’s attention, Salah makes a move to dig into the center.

Bruno’s pass was delivered to his feet.

He attempts a curling kick while holding back the opposing midfielder who is catching up late with his hand.

[Mohamed Salah! In. The goalkeeper tried to run late, but he couldn’t stop the curling kick with this trajectory. As expected, the King Pharaoh of Egypt.]

[The concerns of fans who were worried about Holland being left out of the starting lineup have been completely dispelled.]

[This is what’s scary about Barnett. From the front to the third line, all players have scoring ability.]

The following situation.

This time, Salah, who switched with Vardy, attempted playmaking.

Bam-

Salah returns De Bruyne’s pass with a heel kick.

[Jejus. Jejus’s shot!]

Jeju’s shot bounced off the goalpost without a hitch.

However, Salah, who did not lose concentration until the end, succeeded in putting the second ball into the goal.

[Here we go again. Mohamed Salah scores multiple goals in today’s match.]

[It’s already his 16th goal of the season? He succeeds in catching up with Holland, who scored 19 goals.]

[Have there ever been instances where two players from the same team took 1st and 2nd place in scoring?]

[That means Barnett plays a lot of high-scoring games.]

Sala looks visibly happy while performing a yoga ceremony.

That appearance contrasted with the recent appearance.

Naturally, Hyunwoo’s expression as he watched this wasn’t very good.

Because going forward, we had no choice but to be conscious of the coexistence of Salah and Holland.

So the game was won, but Hyunwoo had been struggling with unspeakable worries for several days.

But his worries were unfounded.

* * *

Sala heads to the office after hearing that the boss is looking for her.

There the director was sitting with a serious face.

“what.”

“Yes, boss. Did you call?”

“Are you uncomfortable playing with Holland?”

“yes?”

I was momentarily taken aback by the sudden question. Then I asked the reason.

“Me? Why?”

“…Wasn’t it?”

“How did you come to that conclusion?”

He was dumbfounded after hearing the director’s thoughts.

‘I didn’t tell anyone.’

“Actually, it’s Ramadan right now.”

“ah!”

The director belatedly makes a face of surprise.

Ramadan is one of the five pillars of Islam, during which Muslims must fast during daylight hours.

“Then how about going home quickly?”

“Yes. My family can’t eat until I get here. I forgot to tell you.”

The director has a dejected expression.

“What else?”

“Other than that… Actually, I have a cat that I raise at home. It hasn’t been in good health lately.”

“When I asked you last time, you said everything was fine?”

Sala began the story hesitantly.

“If your performance fluctuates because of such trivial things, it’s unprofessional.”

But the director shook his head firmly.

“Players are people too, so of course they can do that. However, from now on, it’s better not to hide it and to talk honestly. Even if it doesn’t help, if you talk to someone, you’ll often come up with unexpected solutions. So how are you doing now?”

“I have successfully completed the surgery and am recovering.”

“That’s good. What’s your name?”

“Boss”

“huh?”

Sala, who read the director’s uncomfortable gaze, waved his hand.

“Because it’s the name my daughter gave me. She said it was the name of a cat from a cartoon.”

After confirming that there were no problems, the director gestured for us to leave.

“I misunderstood. Okay. I understand. I’ll go now.”

“Still, I feel good.”

“what?”

“I felt like the boss was considerate.”

I was sincere.

Some of the rich people are talking about how cold their boss is.

Not only did he rarely hold on to players who wanted to leave the team, he also had a reputation for being rough around the training ground.

But Sala, who was watching from the side, knew.

The manager is not stopping the transfer of these players out of consideration for those who have been pushed out of the starting lineup.

Also, even though the manager pretended not to, he was paying a lot of attention to the situation in the locker room.

Didn’t you immediately make room for Sala, saying that she wasn’t acting like usual?

‘I’m glad I stayed on this team.’

They had the power to be close to winning the league title and were not lacking financially.

An unwavering team built on a solid pillar called Kim.

As a player, there was no reason to refuse.

“I’m going to go out now.”

As Sala was about to close the door and leave, she suddenly stopped.

‘But maybe a tactic centered around me would be okay?’

He was the one who often thought that he should complain.

* * *

Barnet FC safely got through the Boxing Day schedule by rotating their roster appropriately.

The media gradually began to build expectations for Barnett.

The attention of people stuck at home due to Corona naturally turned to the Champions League.
