[Martin Hoffmeier (Song Un-hyuk) can grow quickly just by watching the players play.]

The first EPL game of the new year on January 1st.

[Manchester United! Unfortunately, the match against Leicester City ends in a draw.][The concentration of the defense in the last minute was very disappointing.][The sum of the newly recruited defenders is not yet correct.][It left me regretting what it would have been like if Alfie Manning had been involved, but the choice of Manchester United manager Adam Sutler was John Hurt.]

Alfie Manning went into the locker room with a stiff face at the end of the match whistle.

The faces of the players were dark, probably because he was struck by an unexpected blow at the end and was drawn to a draw.

In addition, the player who could be angry in the current situation was Alfie Manning, who played for Manchester United for over 10 years, so there were some young players who noticed.

After the match between Leicester City and Manchester United.

Alfie Manning, with his stern look on his face, refusing to be interviewed, exited the arena and climbed into the agent’s car waiting for him.

“It was hard.”

Alfie Manning got into the car and nodded at the agent’s words.

“Are you from where you came from?”

I am now in my early 30s.

Numerous competitors were recruited for his team, and his position was gradually disappearing.

It was thanks to his ambiguous position.

He showed consistent performance and adapted well to any position, from defensive midfielder, full-back, and center-back, but I thought it was because he didn’t show good performance in any one place.

‘There is no more place for me at Manchester United.’

Fortunately, the time he played occasionally as a backup was gradually decreasing after the new manager took over, and at the same time, only the time to warm up the bench increased.

‘Football players have to run.’

He wasn’t old enough to think of retirement yet, so he wanted to play.

“I got offers from several places.”

The agent held out the tablet.

“Fulham, Tottenham, Ajax, Feyenoord and Hamburg.”

“Hamburg?”

Alfie Manning flicked the tablet screen at the word Hamburg.

“Huh. That Hamburg. To be honest, Ajax is the most active. The conditions are also the best. Hamburg, I think, thinks of you as a member of the rotation.”

“But there is also the possibility of playing in the Champions League.”

Since UEFA removed the cup tie rule from 2019, even if they played in another team in the Champions League, they could play in European competitions if they were added to the list of additional players.

“If you go to Hamburg, the competition for the starting position will be fierce. Lucas Claus, Mathis de Ligt, Sebastian Kiefer, Rolf Khan, Jinyoung Lee. Because there is no easy opponent anywhere. To be honest, I want you to go to Ajax.”

Despite the agent’s words, Alfie Manning remained silent and was troubled.

“Hamburg. I’m going to Hamburg.”

Alfie Manning decided to burn down his professional life, which might be his last, in Hamburg.

—

[Hamburg SV Manchester United all-round utility player Alfie Manning signed.]

Regarding this signing of Hamburg, there was a lot of talk about whether it was an appropriate signing and whether it should have been signed.

Hamburg’s defense was already solid, and what was lacking was because it was rather an attacking force.

And ironically, after the winter transfer window, the Champions League round of 16 opponent was Atletico Madrid.

“I think it will be fun.”

At the Volksparkstadion, where the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 will be held, not only the fans, but also officials of the team who may face Hamburg in the future.

“It’s funny. Hamburg, who have reached the Champions League for the first time this season, are given the same win rate against Atlético Madrid.”

“That’s why Hamburg’s momentum is terrifying. It’s actually scary too. Now, in mid-February, two-thirds of all schedules have passed, but we are going to the point where we are aiming for a treble, not a double.”

Hamburg maintained the top spot in the league as well, and was cruising toward victory in the Pokal Cup and the Champions League.

“Do you think all the clubs are here?”

“Barcelona, ​​Newcastle, Manchester United.”

The power analysts, who at least knew their faces, sat down and waited for Hamburg’s game to start.

“Still, Atlético is Atlético.”

“It’s a bit disappointing that there were no signings from the attacking team though.”

“Still, what could be the reason? If it were director Song Jae-jin.”

Although not as good as in the past when Diego Simeone was manager, Atlético Madrid was still Atlético Madrid.

It was still a strong team in La Liga, with Real Madrid and Barcelona in third.

“Hey. Director Song Jae-jin made a difference.”

Power analysts who confirmed the starting lineup shone.

It was because Alfie Manning, who had transferred through the transfer window this winter, was immediately put into the starting lineup.

Rolf Kahn and Alfie Manning on top of the existing powerful 300, Niccolo Robertsio, Kai Havertz, and Walter Giller on top, Frances Kloska and Oliver Tennant on the offensive line.

By placing Niccolò Robertio forward, he set the tone for Atlético Madrid’s attacking football.

The referee’s whistle to start the game sounded, and Francis Kloska scored the ball back, and players from both teams were busy finding their positions.

“crazy!”

“Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

And while he bowed his head on the tablet for a while to check the starting lineup and check the players, the stadium was filled with cheers along with the abusive language of the colleague next to him.

It literally happened in an instant.

After receiving the pass, Niccolò Robertio made a long pass in front of Francis Kloska running.

Then Kai Havertz, following from behind, catches the ball from Francis Kloska and connects to Oliver Tennant running to the left.

Oliver Tennant dribbles into the box and shoots into the void.

It all happened in the first 10 seconds of the match.

[10.5 seconds! This is the time it took Hamburg to score their first goal at their home stadium!]

And when the ball shook Atlético’s net, the Atlético players were astonished and could not hide their disappointment.

[This is clearly a well-crafted tactic. It may fail, but it’s a tactic to aim for at the beginning of the game. But this makes it a success.]

It was impossible to concede only one goal, but the Atlético players began to shake at the goal that was scored less than a minute before the time was too early.

—

“That’s the biggest reason football is a team sport. If I had been alone, I would not have been able to score the opening goal in such an early hour.”

David Tennant was watching the game with Song Woon-hyuk in the VIP room.

“Keep in mind. No player is faster than the ball. Of course there will be times when you will need your dribble, but basically passing to another player in front will develop the ball faster than you dribbling.”

“Yep.”

Song Woon-hyuk listened to David Tennant’s words, but his gaze never left the field.

And David Tennant glanced at Song Woon-hyuk and turned his gaze to the field.

‘What the hell are you doing?’

I couldn’t hide my surprise.

It has only been a couple of months since Song Woon-hyuk joined the team, but those two months felt like a year of other players.

He also showed the image of a rebellious adolescent boy, but basically his attitude towards football was excellent.

He wanted to learn something more, and he was full of will to go pro as soon as possible.

‘Did you say you wanted to move into a bigger house quickly and have a private room?’

I thought it was a really childish answer, but for whatever reason, it was certain that it was definitely motivating.

“The Atletico camp is shaking.”

The distance between the Atletico players, seen from above, was slightly disturbed.

“right. What do you think is the reason?”

“Isn’t it because Hamburg continue to shake Atlético through cross-passes?”

“answer. But it’s not just a simple pass. Look at the moves of the players in front of you besides the players passing. Kai Havertz, Francis Kloska, Oliver Tennant. It’s not all standing still, it’s pulling the Atlético players into action, right?”

“Isn’t that the off-the-ball movement you always talked about?”

“right. We have to keep moving towards the space, coming in and out for the ball, to dazzle our opponents and make our team comfortable. like now.”

Atlético Madrid, being too wary of the movement of the outstanding striker Francis Closcar, missed another player for a moment, and Niccolò Robertio didn’t miss the opportunity to turn right and connect a pass to Oliver Tennant, who rushed in.

“Stop it! Stop it!”

The Atlético goalkeeper shouted, but Oliver had already entered the box with his quick feet and Oliver Tennant shoved the ball into the outside with his right foot before Atlético’s defense could even stick.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

[Gool-! goal! goal! Goal!][It’s really great. Hamburg has already scored two goals in the first half! We are continuing the momentum of the first half!]

After taking a break, recruiting reinforcements and getting enough rest and training, Hamburg came back stronger.

And the signing of Alfie Manning has the effect of broadening Hamburg’s tactical options.

“When can I play over there?”

David pondered for a moment on how to answer Song Woon-hyuk’s question, but then shrugged his shoulders.

“The more you try, the faster it will come to you.”

“It’s an effort. Then I have to do my best.”

As if confident in that part, Song Woon-hyuk showed his full face of his desire to play on the professional stage.

—

After the first leg victory over Atletico Madrid, Song Jae-jin had an interview with Alfie Manning.

“Are you fit for the team?”

“Yeah. I am adapting easily.”

I thought it would be difficult to adapt as I came in halfway, but it was Alfie Manning, who started out against Atlético Madrid and showed good performance while playing together, so it was Alfie Manning who melted into the team quite quickly.

“I am not going to let you go in the second leg against Atlético in March.”

“Yeah?”

Alfie Manning frowned at the sudden announcement, but nodded his head.

He was already thinking about his situation, because he was familiar with Manchester United.

Seeing this, Song Jae-jin laughed bitterly. It was because he seemed too accustomed to his past experiences.

“There’s a good chance the quarter-final will be against Manchester United, and I’m thinking of sending you there. Both games were starters.”

“Yeah?!”

Alfie Manning asked, surprised by Song Jae-jin’s words.

It’s Manchester United. Isn’t it his own team?

“Shouldn’t we be reminded that Alfie Manning wasn’t the kind of player who should have left?”

Jae-Jin Song intended to entrust Alfie Manning with the task of beating the vanguard against Manchester United.

“The process will be tough. I plan to prepare for the match against Manchester United.”

Alfie Manning, who was filled with confidence at those words, stretched out his shaky shoulders, understood Song Jae-jin’s words, and grinned.

“I am a player from Hamburg. But if you entrust me with that role, I will do my best to fulfill it.”
