Immediately after the match.

Most Korean players who passed the joint coverage area finished the interview shortly, saying, "I am sorry and angry but I will finish the rest of the game well."

Their expressions were all grim and dismal.

There was no player who did not cry.

And when Ho Young passed, the atmosphere that was heavy still subsided further.

Reporters took care of such a boom.

"If you have a hard time, you can just go by."

"cheer up. Many people are cheering. I will support you to win the third and fourth place. "

"You can!"

"Fighting Young Woo!"

Encouraging journalists of any nationality.

Ho Young stopped in place.

No matter how sad, I just wanted to say this.

Ho-young spoke in a highly vigorous tone.

"The players did their best to the end. Although we didn't have a big dream of getting to the finals, everyone was able to play a good game thanks to their hard work. It was a good experience for me and it was a stage where I learned a lot. And I want to say it again and again to all the fans who support me and us, both overseas and in Korea. I will do my best to make my last game. Thank you."

Emotions were up to the moment he knotted the horse, but Ho Young endured.

However.

"Young."

When I went back to the locker room, my emotions seemed to burst.

Spanish players such as Casillas, Ramos, Alonso and Iniesta were waiting outside the Korean locker room.

Among them, Ramos, standing with a sorry face, approached Ho Young first.

Then he gave a hug and talked.

"Today is an enemy, but we are two brothers. Whether it's five years or ten years, it's the same. I look forward to hearing from you. And ... See you in the finals for the next World Cup. You deserve it. "

"It must be."

Hoyoung replied uprightly.

World cup championship.

After the South Africa World Cup was over, it might have been a difficult dream.

No, it certainly was.

If Hoyoung knows the future, Korean soccer will go downhill from now on.

But Ho Young's football life was still uphill.

There were still many places to go up.

7 July.

With numerous World Cup knights coming up, the second round of the World Cup semi-finals began at Mogis Mabida Stadium.

It was a confrontation between a fully organized Germany and a disastrous Switzerland.

The game was tense from the beginning.

Switzerland threatened to erupt Germany, threatening counterattack based on choking defense.

Then about 20 minutes in the first half.

Germany had a hard fight and allowed Switzerland to take the lead after a penalty kick.

I wanted to see what happened in the colostrum so far.

However.

[8:30 on 10th July, Korea-Swiss 3rd and 4th place assault ... Korea's opponent is called 1-to-1 loss]

[Korea-Switzerland Confrontation Interest ...]. Will I be able to fight against the 2006 World Cup?

The match against Switzerland, which had been questioned by controversy, was an interesting match.

If he beat Switzerland in third place, he was breaking the semifinals of the 2002 World Cup.

The game was going to take place exactly three days later.

And the night before the game.

Finished by the last training session, Ho-young went to the hotel balcony for the night breeze.

Cool and humid wind, so I felt a mysterious feeling.

My mind was dissolving, but I was worried about it.

'The World Cup is over in a few days now.'

I came to choke here.

And now is the time to decide where to go.

I stood so vaguely for about 30 minutes so someone behind me opened the window.

It was roommate Park Ji-seok.

"You look a lot of trouble."

"Yes. The new season is coming soon. "

The Chirashi knights of Hoi-ho are now widespread around the world.

Dissension and transfer theory.

And speculative articles about future behavior were pouring every day.

Knowing that, Park Ji-suk wanted to give some advice as a soccer senior.

This is due to the fact that Ho-young, who could not concentrate at the training site for several days, was stepped on.

"If you just want to play soccer, aren't you? I can't concentrate, I can't follow my body well. "

"You're penetrating my heart."

"It's strange not to do that. But I think a true professional player should be able to focus on football, no matter how hard and difficult it is. I think that's the most important thing a professional player should have. "

"But what if I had to choose a way before that?"

"You don't have to think hard. Just go your way. If you do it anywhere without lifting up, it's that. Whether it was Spain or England. "

"As you think?"

"then. Are you still young? I'm not an adult yet. You don't have to feel too much pressure already. "

"haha. Yes. "

right.

There are still many opportunities for choice.

Indeed, with simple but clear advice, Hoyoung bowed and replied.

"Thank you for advice."

"haha. Then let's go in. I'll play well tomorrow. "

"Yeah. I must win. "

His thoughts were shaken off and his mind filled with thoughts of winning the game tomorrow.

The heavy hair was feeling lighter now.

The match took place three days later at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium.

[Our players, I'm proud to be here. Whatever the result, I hope it will finish well as it is the last match.]

Most experts pointed out the victory of the Republic of Korea.

He is, too, because Switzerland was out of stamina during the extra time just three days ago.

The same was true for Korea, but Switzerland was even worse.

Thanks to this, Korea was able to fight comfortably.

[Woo Young directly drives the ball and penetrates forward.]

[I'm digging into the gap between Benjamin Hugel and Gokhan Inler!]

Coming with Spain and facing Switzerland, it was like being in a different world.

'There are many gaps.'

Switzerland's 4-4-1-1 formation was putting heavy pressure on central midfielder Gokhan Inler.

The main target was also good.

But then or not, Ho Young's own play, dribbling and passing through the pressure.

Gokhan Inler, who was good at cutting balls, allowed him to break through after pursuing Ho Young.

[Marseille turn of Woo Young! Rotating the ball eventually frees you from the midfield pressure!]

[good! It breaks through as it is!]

Ho-young, who began to search for Iniesta's masking press talent three days ago, felt the effect.

An effective way to get out of pressure was to feel stored in the body and head.

"Damn it. Bergen! Pull it! "

Yelled Miss In-ho.

The players around him, including central defender Steve Bergen, extended their hands and feet to block the breakthrough.

But all was in vain.

Like a movie scene, Ho Young has been out of tight pressure by stalking upcoming players.

It was just instinct.

As if they had already known a breakthrough, they had escaped the catch they had built.

He was only going forward as if he was a noisy tank.

When Steve von Bergen put his foot in, he managed to keep the ball behind the center of gravity, and when left winger Barnetta walked on the sliding tackle, he detoured and released the pressure.

[Woo Young, it's going to be busy today!]

[Chance. The front is empty. Park Hyung is waiting!]

Roh's eyes were already heading forward.

It was just before the roving pass was aimed at Park Joo-hyung moving toward the empty space.

Well then.

puck!

Philippe Senderos, who was marking Park Joo-hyung, hurriedly pushed Hoyoung's side with his elbow.

I was 190 centimeters tall and 90 kilos in weight, so the momentary force was not a joke.

It was inevitable that Ho Young, who was taking a kick motion, lost his balance and fell to the floor.

Shortly after Senderos quickly raised his hands, he strongly appealed that nothing was wrong.

However.

Took!

After all, the pass had already reached its critical position.

Just under Park Joo-hyung's feet.

[Park Joo-hyung, one-on-one chance!]

[Shoowoouut!]

Park Joo-hyung's right-footed kick kicked out of the hands of goalkeeper Diego Benalio and headed for the corner.

But just before the goal shook, an incredible thing happened.

Beep!

[Alas! What is this?!]

[Mexico's referee Cerrito stopped the game. Woo Woo-young fell down earlier, but it's time to play the game over as a decisive opportunity. But now, to declare a foul to Senderos ...

[Oh, that's not it. Referee Cerrito and Woo Ho-young are approaching.]

"Woo-woo, it's a simulated foul."

"What is it?"

It's not because of Senderos' elbow price, but it's about paying attention.

In other words, Hollywood action.

In other words, Ho Young stumbled to induce foul.

[I can't believe it. Apparently, it seemed to have been pushed down by Senderos' elbow. I think you know exactly what you see once again.]

However, only the scenes of Ho-young's breakthrough appeared in the large billboard, and there was no scene in conflict with Senderos.

The replay of controversial scenes on large billboards was due to expert claims that it could be a huge burden on the referees.

FIFA accepted it and followed the principles at this conference.

Even if we could watch it on TV, we could not see controversial scene as much as in the stadium.

[Even if it's a Hollywood action, the referee's whistle was slow. This is clearly a mistake of referee.]

[Ah ... I can't believe it. It was a goal. It wasn't unprecedented, but I had no idea that this would happen in the third and fourth World Cup matches.]

The players rumbled and insulted the referee, but nothing could be changed.

Rather, the farting guy is angry, the referee of Cerrito was rather strong.

"If you protest one more time, then it's a warning. Everyone backed up. "

There was no room for change because it was a World Cup with no video reading.

"Woowoowoowoowoowoowoowoo!"

"What are you doing, Judgment!"

"Did you eat money ?!"

"This is a ridiculous judgment! Did you notice? This is Hollywood action. "

Various boos poured out of the stands, but the referee did not reverse the decision.

Moreover, there were quite a few defenders of the referee.

"I understand enough. It's very unlikely he'd been seen in the position where the referee stood.

"Yes, we didn't see it well."

Anyway, Korean players had to step back, swallowing tears.

"That crazy Mexican referee. Blow fast to blow. I'm trying to score a goal.

"Are you eating real money? This is the level of bias judgment. "

"퉷. Dirty guys. "

It was obviously strange for the players.

Moreover, the opponent was even more so since Switzerland was talkative with the controversy.

But I couldn't afford to complain.

"Now let's focus. The complaint is not too late after we win the game. "

It was Park Ji-seok to calm the shaking players.

He ran to Ho Young to check the status.

"OK?"

"Yeah. I'm fine without getting hurt. "

Ho-young shook his butt and stared at the referee.

With a grim face, he was a veteran who has been active in FIFA since 1993.

Such a competent referee could not make this decision in the third and fourth place of the World Cup.

Eating.

Hoyoung burst out laughing without knowing.

The mouth was smiling but the inside was burning.

'It's hot and cold.'

Ho Young remembered the future he knew.

2010 South Africa World Cup stained with nausea and corruption.

Ho Young knew the facts.

But Switzerland should have dropped out of the group stage, not the third and fourth place.

The future had changed again.

'Is it related to FIFA?'

Beep!

As the suspicions swelled, a whistle rang out to announce the restart.

A free kick is awarded in the vicinity of the penalty area.

The kicker was Philippe Senderos.

He hit Ro-young with his elbow, kicking a free-kick with a naive look that nothing happened.

The ball was passed to Steve Bergen on the left.

And that was the moment.

Hoyoung, who returned to the 2nd line from the front, popped out like lightning.
