Chapter 8
"Kim, you''re good. I wish you could be in the next game right away.
I know. I''m good at ser."
Manager Pepeughs out loud as if I had said something funny.
After the medical check, I was promoted to the first division without dy.
I wanted to show my confidence, but the Manager just keptughing as if he was seeing his grandchild''s cute act.
The team was pushed to second ce after losing to Cardis, but the atmosphere of the team was not bad.
Throughout the training, the yers are busy exchanging jokes andughing.
Theyughed so much that I wondered if they smoked marijuana as a group.
"Pass here!"
"Monk! Here!
I don''t know who''s calling whom because the nicknames the yers call are unfamiliar.
Who''s Monk?
There is more than one person who is bald.
Who are they calling Monk?
My question was solved by Pedri, who was warming up by exchanging passes.
"Were talking about Aitami."
"Hmm. I see. He does look like one."
"Tami! Kim says you look like a real monk!"
Aitami res at me several times before the team meeting begins due to Pedri''s betrayal.
Pedri''s snitching behavior was annoying, but honestly, Aitami does resemble a monk.
Tactical analysis room is located on the second floor of the training ground building.
I sat down and listened to the analyst''s exnation.
The tactical analysis began in preparation for the La Brada match on the 28th.
I didn''t think much during the training, but I finally realized that I was in the first division.
"Fuebrada is a counterattack-oriented team that uses variant 4 4 2. When youe in slowly it''s less sharp, but in counterattack situations, right-winger No. 7 takes the opponent''s defense hard."
"Freile Hugo, our defense needs to focus on the fact that he''s not a typical winger. He''s the best scorer on the team because he has good sense. Do you understand what I mean?"
One of the yers answers the coach''s words.
You mean, don''t let him mess with us.
Exactly. We also have to focus very much on the set-piece situation. The opponent''s central defense scored three goals this season alone. Did you train for set-piece partial tactics again today? It''s a team that we can win if we dont lose focus"
The manager said in a confident voice.
The chart goes over, and then La Brada''s defender statse out.
A rough-and-tumble team
There are two defenders with four Yellow cards.
And there''s no defender who didn''t take a card.
If it worked out well, we would be able to solve it indefinitely, and if we didn''t, the game would be really difficult.
"It''s terrible, isn''t it? Strikers have to score the first goal as soon as possible. At the same time, the yer who delivers the ball should be careful not to have a one-to-one confrontation. The scheduled formation is 4 2 3 1."
I''ve heard a lot of stories to help the game around, but they''re useless.
The possibility of allowing a yer who returned from injury to the first division to y in the match scheduled in two days is close to zero.
.me? I''m in the game?
You look very good to be excluded from the list, so I made a hard decision after the meeting. Both Manager Pepe and the head coach want you on the list."
While getting a massage after team training, the technical coach came into the room and said it was on the list.
I thought the coach''s intention to give many opportunities as promised was pleasant and a little hasty.
I was rather anxious because my condition was so good.
I was anxious and unhappy at the same time.
Soon I fell asleep as Iy on the bed.
October 28.
Estadio Gran Canaria.
Aitami shakes hands for fair y with the opposing team''s central defender wearing the captain''s armband.
We know that they won''t be able to y fair with each other, so it seems to be just a formality.
Sitting between Harvey Casteyano and Curbello, who failed to make the starting lineup, I looked around the stadium.
What happened to the ind?
There were empty seats in ces, so the audience was less than half full.
I heard Castro and Pecardt yed their part in my absence, scoring a total of seven goals, but did they score and raise their middle finger to the stands?
Still, the stadium is always exciting.
It doesn''t matter.
I''m back.
"Hijo de Gran puta!"
"Hey! Crazy f*ck!
As soon as the game starts, FueBrada''s No. 15 yer leaves a stud mark on Pecardt''s shin with his tackle.
The abusive words heard from everywhere are quite eerie.
Even though they went through VAR(Video Assistant Referee), he ended up with a warning, not an exit, and once again booing and swear words flew throughout the stadium.
Pecardt limped.
The yers calm down and the game goes on again.
The ball that Inigo flew into the penalty box touched Aitami''s head but lost strength and was in the arms of the opposing goalkeeper.
It was a disappointing opportunity.
FueBrada''s goalkeeper flies the ball to Praile to take the counterattack.
Las Palmas'' left fullback, de B, who was wary of counterattacks in advance, cut off the path of the pass.
And passes the ball back to Inigo in the center.
Inigo identified Cedris''s position in the center from the right-wing forward position.
"Argh!"
Inigo fails to finish the cross and copses with a puck sound from his opponent''s rough tackle.
"Mierda!"
"You son of a b*tch!"
The yers sh once again with the referee''s urgent whistle.
This time, the opposing striker made a dangerous tackle.
I can''t believe they''ve been warned almost seven to eight times in the first half.
It was so senseless.
It was a side tackle, but it was an angle that could be seen as a back tackle depending on the angle, but it is also a pity that the exit did note out.
What is the VAR seeing?
Even before Pecardt returned to the stadium, Inigo was carried out, and all the opponents received was two warnings.
Considering this fact, the majority of Las Palmas yers are unable to control their anger.
Martinez, the 21-year-old goalkeeper works together with the bench to calm the yers'' excitement, shouts, and signals but to no avail.
The atmosphere falls in favor of the opponent.
yers who have lost their minds narrow their horizons, and they start to confront each other with harsh tackles.
Although there was no immediate impact, the rough nature of the game expanded its influence on the yers.
Pecardt, the central striker, unconsciously lowered his hand to the shin, and Inigo failed to reach the opponent''s camp beyond a certain range.
It''s a shame that Cedris, Viera, and Srnich were repeatedly attacking menacingly in the second line, but FueBrada''s eerie counterattacks have already reached Martinez''s hands twice.
You idiots.
Oooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Finally, the first goal was scored by FueBrada.
In a set-piece situation, the ball that hit Lemos Miuricio''s head fell into the box, and Fraile Hugo finished.
In the 29th minute, some yers bow their heads as if we have already lost.
Las Palmas fans boo at the stadium.
The bench became busy, losing a point in the early hours.
Pecardt, who scored four league goals, kept touching his shin, so Castro had to prepare urgently at the fear of injury.
In the first half of the game, which was dragged to 0-1, a recement card has already been exhausted.
Rodi..! Come down and warm up!"
Manager Pepe even prepares Kirian Rodriguez to rece Inigo one after another.
Despite theck of understanding of the tactics, the atmosphere on the bench alone was enough to see that Las Palmas was in a very bad situation.
Harvey Casteyano abandoned his silent image and continued to mutter curses next to me, and I was very scared when the usually charismatic person was angry.
"I want to go out."
Pedri, who was sitting in the front seat of the bench, grumbles.
He said he would do well in rough matches like this.
Yeah, well, the Las Palmas yers were so messed up that they wanted to y.
The crowd kept shouting "Mierda! Defiendan cancha!" at FueBrada''s sharp counterattack
Afterward, the game was interrupted by Manager Pepe''s angry water bottle throw.
The yers who were moving around as if they had food poisoning must have made him frustrated, but it was silly.
In the 41st minute, Manager Pepe left the bench following the referee''s order to leave.
In a chaotic atmosphere, FueBrada''s yers focused on what they were good at.
Games resumed on the sidelines.
On the left side of the Las Palmas camp, Nteca and Gomes stole the ball from Las Palmas wingback Alvaro through pressure.
The screaming of head coach Roberto Rios was also useless.
The pass that Gomes kicked without dy fell neatly at the feet of Riera, the right side running between Aitami and Inigo.
Riera didn''t get greedy and passed to Nteka who strode into the box.
Lemos, Las palmas'' central defender, cleverly narrowed the right side of the, but it rather blocked the goalkeeper''s view.
Nteka makes a kick with a light faint while filling the ball with a rotation towards the left of the.
Martinez, the young gatekeeper, couldn''t even fly.
Inside the stadium, it was so quiet that only the voices of away fans from FueBrada could be heard.
"Oh, Were in trouble. Damn it."
"Were screwed."
44 minutes into the first half.
Nteka''s extra goal leads FueBrada 0-2.
It was the first time in the season we let the opponents score two goals in the first half, so it was really a big deal.
Cedris!!
You bloody fools!
Fuebrada''s central midfielder Bayejo trampled Cedris'' ankle.
Srnich gets a yellow card together.
I don''t know what he said to the referee.
Doctor''s hands cross came.
Cedris can''t y any more.
He just got back from injury.
He scored two goals. Kim is the only yer on the bench who can score."
But there is still 45 minutes left! You want a two match old yer to y 45 minutes? Wing forward?"
Heard an altercation between head coach Roberto Rios and technical coach Momo.
I jumped out of my seat and went to them.
An unexpected opportunity hase.
I''ll do it!
I''m d that chief coach Roberto Rios decided to put me on the field.
Coach Momo''s counter argument was forced to bend and I got instructions to warm up.
Soon after, the referee whistled, ending the first half of Las Palmas and Fuebrada with a score 0-2.
If I knew this would happen, I would have listened to the analyst''s words more carefully during the team meeting.
What should I do for 45 minutes?
