Chapter Title The Eldest Son Craves Soccer
With Mbawanyé using his blistering speed to bag a brace against Newcastle. The scores back to level pegging.
Where the hell did they dig up a player like that?
Checking the data, hes from Jamaica. Was playing in the Moroccan league until now.
Wow, look at that speed
Never seen anyone that fast before
Jamaica? Shouldnt they stick to track and field? lol
They love soccer too though
Arnold and Dida cant keep up, no chance
For real, theyre so slow
Didas getting up there in age too bad
Aging curve hit him hard
lol tbh aging curve or whatever, no Premier League defenders catching that kid lol
Fr fr lol
But whats our Taeyang doing?
Two assists tho
No goals
lmao thinks scoring in the Prem is easy? Two assists is killing it
In Korea, Middlesbroughs unexpected fightback had suddenly drawn a huge crowd to the Newcastle match. And as play resumed after the equalizer, Taeyang stepped up.
Yoon Taeyang surges forward right after kickoff. Middlesbrough press hard. The markings ferocious.
Just as Newcastle are wary of their new star Mbawanyé, Middlesbrough have no choice but to mark Yoon Taeyangthe guy with two assiststightly.
Hed only featured in five games last season in the Premier League, but every team facing Newcastle this season had thoroughly scouted and planned to shut down Yoon Taeyang.
Five games, nine goals, five assistsa record even peak worldclass stars would struggle withand hed done it at just 16. Not marking him would be the real insanity.
Middlesbrough were no different.
If anything, they hated Newcastle more than most, so theyd researched Taeyang even harder.
Lose to that kid again and get beaten by Newcastle?
Unthinkable.
Theyd prepared meticulously...
What the hell is that kid?
Middlesbrough keeper Charlton gaped at the scene unfolding from afar.
Taeyang darted, stopped, walked, then exploded again through the packed space, weaving through players.
No flashy tricksjust straight ball control and dribbling past one, then another.
After beating two, Taeyang fed the ball back to Menendez overlapping from deep, then exploited the gap to charge toward the backline.
Menendez instantly slotted it through to where the forwards and defense converged.
Ilinyú muscled the ball away between Middlesbroughs centerbacks, turning his back to them slowly.
As the centerback stuck to Ilinyú, creating space, Yoon Taeyang burst in and yelled,
Pass it!
Ilinyú holds it up and lays it off to Yoon Taeyang! Hes off!
Shoots!
Shwoooosh!
Oh! Saved! Charltons huge stop!
What a save!
Charlton, whod blocked it by a whisker and cleared backfield, took a deep breath.
The gamble paid off.
No clue if Yoon Taeyangdeadly with either foot, always a halfbeat quickerwould go left, right, or wherever. Hed guessed right.
Lucky break.
Newcastle corner.
Yoon Taeyang sets up for the corner.
Last season it was mostly Ledelina Omar on corners, but is Yoon Taeyang taking them this year?
Is that really good fortune?
Newcastle players swarmed into position with machinelike precision.
Artelli wasnt big on setpiece details, but they had a coach who owned that department.
He was a setpiece dismantling expert from Real Madridtoo good to let go.
Having followed Artelli here, hed poured his heart into prepping these moments.
Heh, show me what you got.
The coach smirked, watching the synchronized movementas Taeyang raised his hand, waited for the whistle, and struck it on the run.
Huh?
The ball whipped high and bent wildly.
Huh?
Never drilled that corner in practice?
Everyone puzzled by the unexpected deliveryas the ball arced massively, evading the keeper and sucking into the far top corner like magic.
No way...!
The coach whod slaved over setpiece plans despairedbut St. James Park erupted in pandemonium.
Oh! Corner to goal! Incredible, Yoon Taeyang!
Yoon Taeyang puts Newcastle back ahead!
Taeyang jogged casually back to halfway, scanning the stands.
Oh! My Taeyang!
Oh! Our Taeyang!
Oh! Everyones Taeyang!
Chanting his name in unison, roaringhe couldnt help but grin.

Newcastle UTD 32 Middlesbrough
Newcastle United beat Middlesbrough, but it left plenty of regrets.
Newcastles aging centerback duo leaves defense shaky.
Exposed by speed, is Newcastle okay?
Transfer deadline loomswhat does Newcastle need to fix?
The press zeroed in on Dida and Arnold.
Didas legs had slowed Arnolds reads were offdefense looking wobbly.
With the window still open, the board scouted centerback upgrades, but replacing those two meant big moneyand FFP limited their budget.
Newcastle threw all their scouting muscle into finding gems.
