Be curious, have doubts
A small cheer erupted in the otherwise quiet stadium. Notts County fans had a hard time deciding whether Gray’s ball was in the goal or in the side netting. But as the stadium became quiet and Gray ran like crazy, they immediately realized what was happening and shouted at the top of their lungs.
When the game was tied, Pochettino immediately made a substitution. Kishin, who confirmed that the team was focusing on the attack, demanded a fierce attack from the players. When the players who came in as substitutes struggle with defense, they often fail to properly perform their roles in the attack. Of course, since they have experience in the 4th division, it is not certain whether they will work against players at the Premier League level.
Liam Walker started on the left wing but didn’t have much fun in the first half. In the first half, Sven dragged the opposing left fullback, but Tuttle on the right struggled in defense, so the midfielders had to go to support him a lot, and he couldn’t participate in the few counterattacks because he had to fill the defensive space in the center.
Walker, who received a pass from O’Connor, faked a centering pass after breaking through and turned inside. When Tottenham’s left fullback followed him quickly, he faked a shot and passed to Hunter. Hunter drove the ball into the penalty area when the penalty area was one step ahead. This was because Kishin had asked him not to shoot before entering the penalty area.
However, he hesitated a little and was immediately blocked by two defenders. Then, when he heard a familiar voice calling from behind, he passed back without hesitation. Gray, who received Hunter’s pass, lowered his head and shot the ball while looking only at the ball. Before shooting, he had to check the goal and the goalkeeper’s position, but Gray had never received proper attack training.
Gray’s shot hit the crossbar, bounced on the ground once, and spun into the goal. After the comeback, Kishin quickly made a player change. He brought out O’Connor, who had weak defensive ability and was almost out of stamina, and added a defender. He lowered the right wing, brought in Antuyi as a fullback, and brought Tuttle up to the wingback position to strengthen the right defense.
When Notts County pulled back their defensive line, Tottenham, who had been overtaken, had no choice but to raise their line. Notts County, who had switched to counterattack tactics, attempted a counterattack with Tuttle and Hunter when they had the ball. Tuttle, who originally had good stamina, was slightly behind in the competition with Antui, so he had less playing time, and was able to run even in the 70th minute of the second half.
Hunter kept in mind the instructions of the god and never went back to help the defense. Just by standing on the center line, Hunter could tie up two opposing players. Rather, that would help the defense.
Gray, who had taken the ball, passed it to Hunter. However, his accuracy was poor, and Hunter had his back to the opposing defender when he caught the ball. He had poor ball control and his size made it difficult for him to turn his body steadily. He passed it to where Tuttle was likely to be.
Hunter’s pass also lacked accuracy, but Tuttle caught the ball and tried to break through. However, the cross he attempted without being able to completely get past the opponent was deflected by the defender’s leg. Hunter, who was waiting outside the penalty area, ran towards the ball.
Anyone can see that it is the right time to shoot without stopping the ball. All the spectators thought so, the Tottenham defenders thought so, and even the five-year-old watching the soccer game at the stadium thought so. However, Hunter is a player with outstanding tactical execution ability. He took Kishin’s request to heart and attempted to dribble into the penalty area.
The sound of the 192cm tall giant falling to the grass was very loud. There was a microphone near the goal to collect the sound of the scene, so it was especially loud. The defender tried to block Hunter’s shot by sliding, but Hunter chose to dribble instead of shooting, so he was called for a foul in the penalty area.
The angry Tottenham defender went to the referee to argue, thinking that Hunter had deliberately invited a penalty kick. However, the referee judged that Hunter had started dribbling first, awarded a penalty kick, and showed the defender a yellow card. The defender had no choice but to turn away, as the referee threatened to show him another yellow card if he challenged the referee’s authority.
Kishin laughed as he saw Hunter rubbing his hands together and begging the captain. After looking over all the players, he felt that it would be best to leave it to Hunter, so he instructed Hunter to take the penalty kick. As Hunter put the ball down with a cheerful face, Tottenham’s young goalkeeper gritted his teeth.
Hunter’s penalty kick went into the goal, grazing the opposite goalpost from the direction the keeper jumped. It was a perfect penalty kick, 10 out of 10, by anyone’s standards. It was a kick that was difficult to block even if the direction was judged accurately.
Tottenham, who pulled the reins of the attack, had six effective shots in ten minutes, but all of them were blocked by Turner. As the game drew to a close, Tottenham’s players became more impatient and the camp gradually advanced towards Notts County.
In corner kick situations, players under 180cm tall participated in defense, but Hunter, who boasts a maximum height of 192cm, was hanging around the center line. Hunter can be used as a threat during set piece attacks, but is useless in defense. Although Hunter has 2 goals to spare, he resented the youth coach who only made him practice heading since he was young. He had several counterattack opportunities, but his shooting accuracy was so poor that he failed to score additional goals.
The quality of the corner kick was not high. However, Turner missed the ball by mistake. Fortunately, Antuy quickly kicked it out. Tuttle, who caught the ball at high speed, kicked it forward strongly in order to buy time. However, due to severe exhaustion, he could not kick it as far as he thought.
Hunter and the Tottenham keeper ran quickly towards the ball’s destination. As they ran quickly, Hunter looked into the eyes of the young Tottenham keeper.
‘You’re scared. You have to head the ball outside the penalty area, but you’re scared of that.’
Heroes know heroes. Hunter accurately sensed that his opponent was scared of the header. So he faked a flying motion as if he was going to jump when the ball dropped. The ball missed the keeper’s head and rolled toward the empty goal.
Hunter passed the keeper who fell backwards and pushed the ball straight into the goal. Of course, he did not forget to shoot after the ball entered the penalty area. Hunter, who carried out the coach’s instructions perfectly throughout the second half and created multiple goals, successfully completed his debut.
As soon as the game was over, the reporters were busy writing articles. They had already sent out brief reports of the game as breaking news, and after finishing the interview with the coach, they had to write and send out a completed article.
“Our players played very well today. But we were much less fortunate. Compare the number of shots and the number of shots on target. We had 23 shots on target and the opponent had 7 shots on target. But the results were the opposite. I think that’s the charm of football. We will concentrate on the league games for the rest of the season.”
Pochettino’s interview ended quickly. After a formal Q&A session and the allotted time, the interview ended right away. On the other hand, Kishin’s interview was reminiscent of a market street.
“This is your first time as a professional team manager, and you’ve achieved 11 consecutive wins. You’re called the oriental sorcerer in Nottingham. Why is that?”
“I don’t know that part exactly. Contact the Nottingham Daily’s reporter Champ. He’s the one who came up with the nickname.”
“In your pre-match interview you were confident of reaching the final. With most of the remaining 16 teams being Premier League teams, do you still think Notts County can make it to the final?”
“The goal is not to get to the final. The goal is to win the title. I don’t care whether we achieve it or not. What matters is that everyone at Notts County is working towards that goal.”
“If we’re talking about the best players of this game, we can’t leave out Gray and Hunter. I heard they were suddenly called to London this morning. Did they use magic to predict that these two players would score today?”
“I think it was not my magic, but the magic of all of Notts County. It was a temporary decision because some players showed excessive tension. I am very glad that it was not a wrong decision.”
### I am a busy dividing line ###
Shingi headed to the library of the Magic Academy for the first time since entering. He entered dimensional interference and time regression magic as keywords. After searching through hundreds of books, he sorted them by recommendation and borrowed five books. Shingi shook his dizzy head after reading the five books in the dormitory.
“Damn, does it really have to be this difficult to write a book? If I just make it a little more user-friendly, will it lose its magic?”
The book describes dimensional interference and time regression from an academic perspective. However, there was no clue at all that could solve the mystery of the new god. According to the new god’s common sense, when the game is loaded to the point of saving, the character Kishin’s behavior should not change. Only changes should occur due to tactical changes or substitutions after the game starts.
“It’s like, um, like”
Something kept bothering him as he kept thinking about it. After loading the game about thirty times, the starting lineup of the Kishin changed several times, and eventually he even called up Gray and Hunter, who remained in Nottingham.
“It’s as if the game character Kishin thinks of me as a genius of the same level.”
I remembered the meeting with my father, which was a turning point in my life. I don’t know what I was thinking at the time, but I just kept talking nonsense, and unexpectedly, I was recognized by my father and ended up in the Magic Academy. When I took the aptitude test as a child, I had absolutely no talent for being a magician, but at the Magic Academy, I was suddenly discovered to have the qualities of a great magician.
Kishin gained ‘experience’ through dreams, and through those experiences, he made better choices. Originally, it should have been impossible, but thanks to the dragon relic that acts as the CPU in Kishin’s game console, the memories from before remain in his head in the form of dreams when reloading. Otherwise, as Shingi thought, the starting lineup should have been the same, and only the responses during the game should have been different.
Shingi also had the same experience as Gishin. However, as the starting point was regenerated several times, the memory of the dream disappeared. All that remained was the memory of having said something that pleased his father and headed to the Magic Academy.
“No way. Absolutely not. Stop thinking nonsense and go borrow some books from the library.”
According to the descriptions in the books, the only power that can interfere with other dimensions is the power of the dragon. Angels and demons can descend and directly influence, but they cannot interfere with fate. Perhaps that is why the name of the crystal of interference in this game is DPP (Dragon Power Point).
“If I were a game character, how much DPP would my opponent have? Damn, just thinking about it makes me feel sick.”
It was suspected that the fact that he had increased the training time from thirty minutes to forty-five minutes was a trick by the users playing the game.
‘Damn, I’m just going to get out of here. So if there’s a user who interferes with my fate, I’ll have to make them use up all their DPP. But if my assumption is correct, isn’t Kishin not just a simple character?’
