Chapter Title Rampage at San Siro
Yoon Taeyang scores a hattrick against Milan!
The youngest player ever to record a hattrick against MilanYoon Taeyang!
Hes also the youngest to notch backtoback hattricks in the Champions League. Wait, is he the youngest in soccer history? Everything Yoon Taeyang does seems to set a new youngestever record!
Everyone, we might be witnessing the dawn of a new era. The Yoon Taeyang era.
Fucking insane
Did you hear the British commentator?
Whatd they say?
Something about the Yoon Taeyang era arriving?
So cool lol
No way, backtoback hattricks in the CL Even worldclass players cant do that, but Taeyang pulls it off
The silence that Taeyangs hattrick had imposed on San Siro didnt last long. The game, which had settled into a lull, was nearing the end of the first half, heading into halftime before the second half kicked off.
Milan substituted Bergara in for centerback Pier Marti and slotted Galbagni into the right wing position.
Both were young, speedy players.
Newcastle, on the other hand, made no changes, sending out the same lineup from the first half.
Standing on the halfway line, Gino glared at Yoon Taeyang.
That damn bastard.
That devilish pricks hattrickespecially that final Panenkahad left Paserini sitting there like an idiot in the locker room.
Anyone could see his mentality was shattered.
The guy whod turned Italys guardian deity into a fool stood on the pitch with an arrogant look on his face.
The crowd wouldnt let it slide, showering Taeyang with nonstop boos, but it didnt faze him one bit.
Of course notif jeers and insults got to him, he wouldnt have managed a firsthalf hattrick.
Maybe the more people hated on him, the more his competitive fire burned.
Tweet!
Right on cue, the whistle blew.
Newcastle rolled the ball back and pushed the line up toward Milan.
They planned to carry the firsthalf momentum, playing aggressive ball at a high tempo.
Newcastle presses forward aggressively. Nice passing interplay from Menendez, Boxall, and Gomez.
Unlike the first half, Sanchez is joining the attack more actively.
Sanchez, whod stayed back to mark Gino, now pushed into midfield in the second half to bolster their numbers.
Milan, outnumbered in the middle, had no choice but to commit their fullbacks to even things out.
Their goal Keep the ball from reaching Newcastles forwards at all costs.
That was Milans mistake.
It wouldve been better to drop their forwards deeper.
Why?
Because Newcastle had Menendeza midfielder who could ping passes to all sorts of spots.
An odd signing for Newcastle.
The player once called Real Madrids passing heartbeat.
He read the field, then fired a long ball toward Milans depleted backline.
A razorsharp pass sliced through Milans defense and found Yoon Taeyang.
Taeyang controlled it on the run and looked up.
Spotting Je Huni right in front of him, he hit the accelerator, nudged the ball left, and unleashed a leftfooted shot.
A low, blistering strike rocketed like a laser into the bottom left corner.
Pasrini, mentally broken from facing Taeyang, was in an awkward position and dove desperately, but the ball beat him by a split second.
Before Pasrini could even stretch out his hand, the ball crossed the line clean.
...Goal... Its a goal!
My God! Yoon Taeyang in the Champions League! Four goals against Milan! He notches a haul!
Yoon Taeyang again!!! Another unbelievable record! The youngest haul in history!
Haul.
The English term for four goals. Only 12 players had ever achieved itor 13 now, including Taeyang.
An incredibly rare feat, and Taeyang had just pulled it off today.
Unbelievable record. Yoon Taeyang has seven goals in just two games.
Seven goals isnt just any number. Last seasons Champions League Golden Boot winner scored eight. And hes matched it in two games!
After his fourgoal haul, Taeyang strolled casually once more, eyeing the crowd.
With Yoon Taeyangs four goals, the score is 41! Newcastle dominating Milan at San Siro.
We worried the racist chants and boos might rattle Yoon Taeyang, but theyve only fired him up.
Lmao look at Taeyangs face
Try shittalking again you idiots lmao
Thats the moment Taeyang stole San Siro
ntr soccer incoming
lmaoooo ntr soccer wtf lmao
Ginos a nobody
All talk no game
Go eat your spaghetti
Gino was in shock.
How could such a maniac exist?
How does he make soccer look that easy?
Gino had always believed innate genes and racial barriers were insurmountable.
No.
That guys just built different.
Something science cant explain. Is he Godmade?
Damn it.
Gino clenched his fist.
No way thats real.
Hes just riding a hot streak today. Our Milan defense got swept up in it.
This is San Siro.
Im the protagonist here.
With that resolve, Gino poured everything into the game.
Even at 41 down, Milans not backing down. Great to see them fighting for the fans till the end.
But times running short. 28 minutes into the second half. Even with injury time, only about 20 minutes left.
Can they come back from three goals down?!
Fernandez, in possession for Milan, passed to Gino.
Gino spotted the incoming ball and scanned Newcastles players.
As it dropped, Arnold latched onto him.
Gino trapped it with his instep, lofted it over Arnolds head, and darted alongside.
As Arnold and Bandia converged, Gino headed it again to trap, shoved Bandia off with his shoulder, chested it down, and charged forward.
He saw the goaland Ricella in front.
No.
Speedy Jenath blocked his path.
Gino raced right up to Jenaths nose and dazzled him.
Wiggling his hips with exaggerated flair to steal Jenaths gaze, he feinted a side pass, then dragged it back and burst the other way.
Past three in a flash, and there was Ricella.
And a tiny gap at Ricellas side.
Gino blasted toward that space without hesitation.
The shot came half a beat early, at an unexpected timingRicella couldnt react.
WAAAAAAAA!
Chasedown goal.
The crowd erupted for Ginos second shot, narrowing it to two goals.
Normally, hed blow kisses for the celebration, but not today.
With little time left, Gino unusually sprinted to the net, grabbed the ball, and took position on the halfway line.
His teammates hurried into place, matching his urgency to restart.
Game resumes.
Never seen the romantic Gino, who lives for the joy of soccer, look so grim and allin.
Thats how bad he wants the win.
And right as I say thatthe balls up front to Gino again!
Soccer has momentum.
When the tide turns, players and fans alike feel it.
That sense something biglike a goalis coming.
Arnold stayed focused this time, holding the line without lunging, waiting for Gino to come to him.
With Newcastle players not closing, Gino inched forward with the ball.
Nineteen years old.
Short career so far, but Gino was more locked in than ever.
Then, inspiration struck.
To bring it to life, Gino took off.
He breezed past the onrushing Jenath with a free flap, then stuck to Arnold.
As Arnold backed off warily, Gino glanced right.
The moment Arnolds eyes followed
Ginos leg nudged the ball left instead.
A nolook pass to Je Huni, whod finally pushed forward after being pinned all game.
Je Huni was more attacker than defender, really.
A fullback who scored now and then, and in a great spot.
Ricella couldnt ignore him, tracking as
Je Hunis choice wasnt a shot, but a shotlike pass.
Gino raced onto the halfhearted trajectory and just toed it gently.
Goal! Alberto Gino! Hattrick! The newera fantasista chases Newcastle with a hattrick!
43! With injury time, about 13 minutes leftbut at this rate, anything can happen! A ties definitely possible!
We can do this!
One more goal! Hell, twos possible!
Just follow me!
Gino rallied his older teammates.
Young but heroic, dragging the team back from the brinkthe players steeled themselves.
The game restarted.
Newcastle, no need to push, circulated back and slowed the tempo.
But Milan wouldnt allow it. Gino wouldnt.
Bandia, killing time in possession, had his pass intercepted like magic. Gino charged.
This chance.
Score here, its a tie.
Dream of a win, but Newcastles timewasting left little clock.
Gino eyed the empty diagonal line.
Push farther?
Glancing around, Newcastle players closed in.
Panicked, Gino shot for the angle hed spotted.
The ball curved elegantly with heavy spinstraight for the corner.
Its in.
Gino was sure, fist pumpingwhen a hand appeared.
Ricella save! He blocks it!
Huge from Ricella in the clutch! He catches the dropped ball with both hands and punts!
Ah...!
He stopped that?
Regret stung, but no time for it.
Gino turned.
The ball dropped between Milans holding mid and defenders.
Omar got there first, leaping high to nod it.
Off Omars head, it bouncedFernandez lunged desperately, but too short.
He couldnt clear fully it rolled loose.
Illinyu claimed it.
But behind him, a Milan player snuck in unseen.
Slid a leg through Illinyus, hooking it forward.
As another Milan man closed on the loose ball
Yoon Taeyang!!!!
Taeyang seized it and bolted.
Milan players swarmed the streaking Taeyang.
He shouldered one aside, but another clung stubbornly.
Taeyang didnt budge.
Not a pure physical monster, but his natural core strength held firm in scraps.
He shrewdly used shoulders and arms to unbalance the marker, shook him off, and met the next defender.
Giovanni aheadthe guy whod yanked Taeyangs jersey for a yellow.
Taeyang charged with scissor dribbles.
The rapid scissors blurred Giovannis vision.
Taeyang timed it, leaning left as if turning.
Giovanni bit, shifting instinctivelyTaeyangs left foot ghosted past the ball to plant, right foot shoving it right as he exploded away.
Past another, and Paserini rushed out.
Taeyang spotted the perfect timing, chipped long, and sprinted.
Pasrini shuffled frantically Taeyang lofted again, bypassing him.
Empty net aheadTaeyang tapped it in lightly.
The terrifying speed, scissors, acceleration, deceleration, and cutthat goal made everyone think of one player.
Ronaldos reincarnation? Yoon Taeyang evokes the legendary Ronaldo who starred for Inter and Milan, achieving a glutfive goalswith that performance!
Yoon Taeyang! Five goals! Only two players in history had done itand he does it at 16!
This is the Phenomenon! Who else but him deserves the name?
In Stadio San Siro, aka Giuseppe Meazzathe Phenomenon has returned!
Il Fenomeno.
Heavensent.
The moniker that hailed Ronaldos otherworldly talent as divine now belonged to Taeyang.
In that moment, the crowd that had hurled every insult fell utterly silent, staring at the reincarnated Phenomenon. He just stared back arrogantly, wordlessly.
And no one dared call that look arrogant.
