2029-2030

Philips Stadion

Eredivisie round 6

PSV Eindhoven VS Ajax

‘Shit.’

When the left side was pierced by Ajax’s wing, Apelai spit inwardly.

Due to the flank defense that was out of the season at the start of the season, Eindhoven’s current flank was unoccupied.

I tried changing the tactics and turning them into players who can defend the side, but it was a problem that was not easily fixed.

[It’s early in the game, but the mood in Eindhoven is never good.][Although it’s early in the league, Eindhoven’s left defense revealed a problem, so it’s 2 draws and 3 losses.][Eindhoven is having a bad start.][It’s still early in the season, but as we are 14th in the league standings, we need a quick flank reinforcement.][Ajax persistently attacks the left side of Eindhoven!]

The Eindhoven players were nervous about the long cross from the right side to the left.

[Angelino is pierced!]

Angelino, who played on the left side of Eindhoven’s defense, tried to grab the uniform of the player who passed him, but the opponent had already entered the box.

[Calm down in one-on-one situations… Shout!][Go ol! goal! bone! Ajax leads 1-0 in the first 6 minutes!]

Manager Appel Rai lowered his head as he watched the ball shake his net.

“Wow-!”

“Shut it up! Cut Apellai Director!”

“Smash it!”

It was six minutes in the first half, but the boos of the supporters had already begun to resound in the stadium.

[After 40 minutes of the first half, the score is 3-0.][This is Eindhoven showing his helpless appearance.]

And when the score was 3-0 before the end of the first half, boos filled the entire stadium, not just the supporters’ seats.

And at the sound of the booing, the players were torn and unable to show their fighting spirit at all.

It started with a simple defense, but the problem was eating away the entire team called Eindhoven.

And seeing the players like that, the fans raised their boos as if they were getting more excited.

Beep-!

[Score 3-0 Eindhoven loses to rival Ajax 3-0.]

“What do you think?”

And when the match was over, Jaejin asked Jinyoung Lee.

“It would be fun.”

After arriving in the Netherlands, Jaejin visited Jinyoung and the stadium without telling anyone.

And the surrounding crowd was also busy swearing at the team without paying any attention to the two Asians.

Although the match was lost, Jinyoung said it was not bad because it was a team he could play in the future.

“Clearly, the left defense is a hole. To fill that hole, I have to work hard and step on the first team stage as soon as possible.”



“Go and be careful!”

“Sweep it all away!”

“Uh huh, what’s wrong with swiping it on the kid? Wipe it away.”

Jinyoung Lee’s expression on the face of his grandfather, who is a longtime Eindhoven fan, was full of determination as he went to the place where he received a bit of a radical see-off and went to the entrance test.

It was because he had to pass the entrance test before he could play for Eindhoven.

“If Jinyoung is your skill, you can do well.”

Unlike Lee Jin-young, who was anxious, Jae-jin was confident.

He didn’t tell Jinyoung Lee, but after arriving in the Netherlands and selling his feet, he thought that if Jinyoung Lee wasn’t very nervous, there was a high chance of getting caught.

“What should I do?”

Jaejin thought for a moment about Eindhoven’s joining test, looked straight into Jinyoung’s eyes as if there was nothing wrong, and said.

“Sweep it all away like Grandpa said.”

“Yep.”

The person in charge of the entrance test this time was John De Yong, the first-team head coach.

‘A total of three people are expected to pass this admission test.’

However, since more than 20 people applied for the admission test, John De Yong looked at the players standing in front of him with his eyes hidden behind his sunglasses.

“The admission test method is a 90-minute, 11-eleven match similar to the actual game. There are no other tests.”

It was because there would be no player who applied for the entrance test for a professional league soccer team without the most basic physical strength or basic spirit.

“It doesn’t matter if you win or lose. Whether we win or lose, we decide whether we pass or not by how we show ourselves in our respective positions in the game.”

The players swallowed dry saliva as if nervous at the expressionless words of John De Yong, who were over 2m tall, and waited for the next word.

“I want everyone to come to Eindhoven, so I want to show that I am doing my best as much as I am here. Then the game will start in an hour. Thirty minutes before the start of the game, teams are divided and tactics are devised. Until then, it’s free time.”

“Yes!”

After the players’ loud replies, Jinyoung Lee ran towards Jaejin, who installed the camera.

“Wow. Are you nervous?”

“Don’t be too nervous. I think it’s all under you. And what did I say?”

“Start the game and be the first to know your teammates and enemies.”

“And then?”

“Destroy them all.”

In response to the confident answer, Jae-jin messed up Jin-young Lee’s hair and pointed to the field.

“Go, relax. Fighting.”

Among the over 20 players who are taking the test today, one Asian is Jinyoung Lee.

However, Jinyoung Lee was not at all discouraged and began to warm up according to his own routine on the field.

beep-

“Everyone to the field!”

And at the sound of John De Yong’s voice along with the whistle, the players took their seats.

The team that Jinyoung Lee belongs to is Team Blue.

However, in the beginning, the white team had the upper hand over the blue team.

It was a situation where everyone matched the first time, but they showed a not bad build-up and showed a figure that overwhelms the blue team by raising the line.

‘Fun.’

The level was definitely higher than the football he had experienced so far, and Jinyoung Lee smiled like he was having fun, took a defensive stance and tried to capture the movements of the players that matched him.

‘Well. This player is the type to move by taking over space rather than overpowering him physically.’

‘Is the striker fast? He seems to be a line breaker.’

‘Is he central oriented and has good passes?’

Jinyoung Lee tried to figure out the movement tendencies of the players who exchanged the ball directly with him right away.

“It’s cracked! Stop it!”

The first point was taken by the back team first.

A neat finish following the one-two pass of the striker and midfielder.

The players from the back team, who picked the first point, gave high-fives and raised the mood.

“Come on, let’s fight!”

As if he could not lose, the blue team striker clapped his hands to induce concentration, and Jinyoung Lee smiled and nodded his head.

‘Now it seems that I have figured it out.’

As I talked with Jaejin, Jinyoung Lee, who understood the players’ tendencies, tried to overlap in earnest.

‘damn. I need to move a little!’

The blue team’s striker made eye contact with the players around him while protecting the ball with his individual skills when he couldn’t see any space to pass even though he was isolated.

“pass!”

At the time when I thought it would be difficult any longer, I made a pass to a voice I heard from behind and was able to continue the attack.

First half 37 minutes.

“Ah… !”

In the attacking situation that followed, he spread the ball to the side, but when the ball was cut by the back team, he turned and tried to defend, but he laughed at the sight of the player rushing towards the player who had the ball before him.

“pass!”

Jinyoung Lee, who slightly stretched out his foot to hit the ball, attempted a low cross towards the striker who ran through the back team’s line without delay.

“nice!”

As Jinyoung Lee showed an appropriate movement in an appropriate position in line with the movements of his teammates, the blue team’s attack began to revolve around the left.

crumpled-

The net was shaken and the striker who scored a goal ran towards the left full-back who assisted him and gave a high-five.

“Are you great?!”

“It was nothing. Is line breaking your specialty?”

Even though he had seen him for the first time, he smiled and nodded his head as he spoke about the play he was most confident of.

“Oh, look at this friend. You mean you already figured it out?”

“It’s basic. anticipate!”

At Lee Jin-young’s confident words, Van der Ka Willen smiled and held out his fist.

“Good. Let’s breathe properly together.”

The score is one-on-one.

At the end of the first half, players from each team gathered and had a time for a strategy meeting.

“I like the movement of the attacking midfielder over there.”

“I think the striker is the type that pushes physically.”

Jinyoung Lee, who was quietly listening to the other players, carefully expressed his opinion.

“I think the attack over there starts from the right wing. We have to start by marking the right wing.”

“Right wing?”

Some players nodded their heads as they recalled the scene from the first half.

“And the central midfielder enjoys one-touch passes. If a pass from the wing penetrates to the center, it is delivered to the striker with one touch. I have a habit of pulling the ball back when the two defenders cling to each other and space doesn’t come out properly.”

At Jinyoung Lee’s observation skills, the other players nodded their heads even though they were wary of their eyes.

“Well then, let’s do that and we can win enough, so let’s do our best!”

Coach John De Yong said that he would select players regardless of victory or defeat, but the players began to move according to Jinyoung Lee’s solution, probably because he thought that winning would make him stand out more.

‘Come on, get away!’

With the start of the second half, the back team’s wing was getting bigger and bigger as if Lee Jin-young, who was persistently following him, had a goosebumps.

He was not defending harshly or constantly pressing himself, but it was because there was no space to pass if Jinyoung Lee was around him.

‘I can’t give it easily.’

With the start of the second half, the starting point of the attack was blocked, and the attack power of the back team plummeted, and the two teams continued a sluggish fight.

“run!”

Jinyoung Lee, who forcibly cut a pass toward an empty space, raised a long cross forward with one touch as soon as he caught the ball.

‘Nice Pass!’

The player of the blue team running on the side was seen in front, and the player who caught the ball from the side at the moment when the players of the back team took their eyes off of it, made a low pass toward the outside of the penalty arc, not inside the box.

“what!”

Jinyoung Lee was sitting in an empty space outside the box that no one cared about, and Jinyoung Lee raised the corner of her mouth and passed towards the back of the defensive line with one touch.

‘Damn!’

“It’s cracked!”

Van Derka Willen, who was rushing to the goal while breaking the defensive line at the same time as the back team’s goalie shouted, shouted nice inwardly and lightly kicked the ball toward the other side of the goalkeeper who was biased to one side.

“Nice!”

“Damn it!”

In the 37th minute of the second half, the blue team took a 2-1 lead by a perfect pass play, and that was just the beginning.

“Hmm.”

John De Yong was paying close attention to Lee Jin-young, who clashes with Willen.



‘In the beginning, we were focused on the defensive role, obviously.’

That’s why, in the beginning of the game, there was no sense of disappointment.

It was because he was expecting the flash he saw in the video because he already knew the data about left full-back Lee Jin-young from the scouting team.

‘You’re smarter than you think. There, he catches the moves of his teammates and throws passes accordingly. I also like the Off the Ball movement.’

“Is the back team’s left defense okay?”

“It’s a pity that I’m tall, but it’s an incredible move to be 18 years old. My feet are fast.”

“I like the off-the-ball movement. You seem to have great soccer intelligence.”

“I don’t think there are any players like that in the second team right now.”

Other coaches praised him, and John De Yong checked Jin Young Lee’s name.

‘That’s definitely enough to pass.’

Eindhoven was playing attack-focused football under the direction of Apelai.

And in offensive football, the role of flank defense was very important. He was also the starting point for the attack and had to play a role in energizing the attack through overlapping.

John De Yong thought that Jinyoung Lee’s appearance on the field right now was the most textbook-like move that flank defense could show.

“Everyone suffered.”

Coach John De Yong, who gathered the players after the game, looked at the players with a satisfied expression.

“The results will be individually notified and announced within tomorrow after consulting with other coaches.”

“You have worked hard!”

After the test, Jinyoung Lee drank a drink with a refreshed expression.

“how was it? The first game in Europe.”

At Jaejin’s words, Jinyoung couldn’t hide his excitement and raised his thumb.

“It was really fun. Everyone is at a good level. It’s really different. different.”

“Good job. Let’s wash up and go home.”



Jaejin also nodded his head with a satisfied expression on his face.

It was because Lee Jin-young’s appearance in today’s game was enough to look forward to the future.
