Chapter Title Tottenham Isnt That Big a Deal After All
Watching the match live, Korean fans mocked Tottenham.
Tottenham isnt that big a deal after dissing them.
How did Man City lose tho
But honestly, Man City are idiots this season Tottenhams actually decent.
Fr lololol
They trashed Yoon Taeyang for being a onetrick dribbler, but couldnt stop that one trick lololol
In fact, it was the same in the UKno, pretty much everyone around the world watching the game felt the same.
Diaz, watching the match, subbed in bench players to protect Derek and switched to a 352 formation, but the problem was the fullbacks stamina.
Even ingame players cant perform when theyre tiredhow do you think real people fare?
The exhausted fullbacks offered zero help on both ends of the pitch, barely filling space.
Amid that, Lindeman joined the midfield, stole Dereks ball, and pushed it to Chalret.
Chalret sliced sharply into the halfspace.
The moment the fullback, midfielder, and right centerback formed a triangle around him.
Pass it!
Hearing Yoon Taeyangs voice, Chalret slid the ball over, and Tottenhams players turned toward Taeyang as if mesmerized.
Normally, Taeyang wouldve passed back to Chalret.
But not this time.
Using scissors dribble, he charged at Jones, faked left to unbalance him, then cut right.
And another one.
Taeyang feinted past Olivarez, then chipped behind him with his heel as he stepped forward.
With the heel chop Ronaldo used to lovecalled a backheel shot back homehe breezed past Olivarez and headed for goal.
The dribbled goalkeeper hesitated, unable to close down tight.
He shouldve rushed right up and narrowed the angle completely.
Taeyang thought that as he chipped the ball with his toe from that awkward spot.
A looping shot sailing over the keepers head. The keeper stretched and leaped to block it, but the ball evaded his hands and dropped behind.
Glancing back just in case, the keepers face fell in despair.
The ball bounced along the ground like Taeyangs Rainbow Flick goal, crossing the line.
GOOOOOOAL!
Yoon Taeyangs second goal! Score is 31!
Tottenham players all hung their heads.
Taeyang strolled casually back to the halfway line.
His teammates, used to it by now, patted him as they celebrated the goal.
Alright, back underway, but time... Ah, full time. Newcastle United beats Tottenham Hotspur 31!
Tottenham were so powerless today. Starting with this game, theyll get exposed in the same way next match and the one after.
Diaz has a real headache now.
Tottenham Hotspur crushed 31 at home by Newcastle.
Four straight league games without a win. Is Tottenham okay like this?
Tottenham chairman Diaz is implementing the tactics our team wants. We trust him.
Yoon Taeyang tried to prove he could pass instead of just dribble, but dribbles alone were enough.
Chalret Diaz criticized Yoon Taeyang since youth days but never benched him. Couldnt.
Sobiola Why couldnt Diaz bench Yoon Taeyang? Didnt want to lose? Hes a contradictory guy.
All the Yoon Taeyang hate so far was just whining cuz the kid wouldnt follow tactics lololol
Reason he didnt Tactics sucked
Lmaoooo Chalrets basically saying Diaz hated Yoon Taeyang but used him for results?
Fr lololol Pretended to be some tacticsobsessed coach, total cosplay lol
Yup yup, results matter huh heh
Lololol Yoon Taeyangs line slaps. Dribbles alone were enough lololol
If youre gonna call him a onetrick dribbler, try stopping it lololol
Criticism of Diaz was building not just in Korea, but in the UK too.
Yeah, this is normal.
That guys not fit to hang around a stage like the Premier League, even for the players sake.
You might say what did the players do wrong, but he overworks them to the point he could ruin careers.
Hope he keeps tanking and gets sacked.
Anyway.
Son.
Time to focus on Dad, calling me with that serious face.
Yeah, Dad.
Next ones Milan?
Yeah.
Why Milan?
Wait, is Dad a Milan fan?
Nah.
He flies into a rage just seeing something like a Seoul uniform no way he likes Milan.
Uh... if you get time, can you shop in Milan?
Shopping? I can just ask around, right? Whats up... something special?
Come to think of it.
Moms birthdays soon.
Right, Moms birthdays coming up.
So I wanna get her a bag or something.
Ooh! Saved up some emergency cash?
Ahem, hem. Emergency cash? Its allowance savings, allowance.
Dad said that and slid over his debit card.
Use this and get a nice bag.
Hmm, any brand or style in mind?
Honestly, Dad doesnt know that stuff. Cant you pick something with taste?
In my past life, I didnt care about brands either. Bought what looked good, maybe paid extra attention to Aiki.
Oh! I can ask Anna.
Oh, yeah. Good idea. Have her wrap it pretty too, got it?
Ill ask her for that too.
Youre making her run errands? That okay?
Of course. Shell do a little favor like that.
Ooh, nice. Ask her nicely.
Sure.
Dad grinned, patted my back, and left the room.
Dads set, but what do I get Mom?
Checked my bank balance online.
Plenty to buy whatever.
Whatd make people say I nailed it?
Might as well grab some clothes for her while Im in Milan?
Moms birthday. Thinking of getting a nice bag or shoes in Milan.
Anna beamed at Taeyangs rare text and fired back right away.
Chairman said hes going on the Milan away trip too! Ill pick it out for you!
Sweet, thanks Oh, and from that roster last time, Emil Karak looked promising. Definitely snag him.
Anna, smiling warmly at Taeyangs text, turned serious at the players name and rifled through papers on her desk.
Emil Karak.
A 23yearold Jordanianborn German making waves at Hoffenheim.
Confirming his profile, Anna immediately called a subordinate and ordered them to approach Karak.
Tsk.
Taeyang was a mystery.
Maybe cuz theyd just signed, but he seemed full of secrets.
Most amazing was his eye for talent.
This kid barely 16 knew more players than she thought possible.
Hed casually spot profiles and pick out standouts.
Shockingly, they were the ones buzzing quietly among agents.
Even players where she only had profiles, no infohe knew them.
Curious, shed asked if he knew any other promising ones beyond those the one he picked got top marks from her agencys scouts and agents.
Sure, vets in this game know players from other leagues.
Soccer nuts watch games even at home.
But Taeyangs just 16.
How does a kid that age spot potential?
Kids something else.
On that note, Anna prepped for Milan.
No clients at AC Milan, but a player considering her agency.
Plan was meet him, handle business, then see Newcastles chairman.
Soccer in Italy lacks Korean players, so its not huge in Korea, but over the last decade, top clubs stabilized finances and overtook La Liga for third in European leagues last season.
While most big leagues are oneteam dominations, Serie A uniquely crowns a different Scudetto winner each year, making it the most exciting.
That Serie A champ facing Newcastle this time AC Milan.
Milans star keeper Matteo Passerini.
Just 22, but Italys starting GK, threatening Newcastle keeper Ricellas spot with stellar play.
On the pitch, watch 29yearold leftback Mohamed Zehuni.
An ultraattacking wingback and German national team staple.
Finally, Alberto Gino.
The 19yearold Italian darling, dubbed a fantasista reborn.
Unpredictable play, dazzling technique, scoring, free kicksall versatile, evoking Del Piero or Baggio.
Optimized for modern play unlike those eras, but his flashes earned the nickname.
Thats why?
Italian media hyped the CL match comparing Alberto Gino and Yoon Taeyang, drawing eyes to their duel.
Italians naturally backed Gino.
Hes Asian at best?
Never seen a standout Asian player comparing to Alberto is insulting
To Gino, Yoon Taeyang and Newcastle are like cooking aglio e olio at night. Easy.
Gino vs some Korean? Joke?
Oh my Gino, sorry for this offensive comparison.
Fucking idiot journalists
Gino Korean
Unlike Italy, UK and Korea sided with Yoon Taeyang.
Gino ever hattricked in CL? Lololol
Gino better? Then hed hold all youngest records, right?
3334 season League 29 games 13G 7A vs 5 games 9G 5A... not even close?
Stats alone Taeyang crushes
Cocky spaghetti mfs comparing average to genius cuz nothing else
Need a hattrick spanking from Yoon Taeyang to wake up
Lololol I can already see the Italians shut up in the stands
