Chapter 149 – China World Cup Opening
#
30 minutes before the interview in question.
The Lord Jesus was looking at an interview on the Internet about Mikhail Ballack’s entry into the country during the 2002 World Cup.
[Is this the country of Chaboom? I really wanted to come. He is my idol.]
There is Gukbbong in every country in the world, and it is the same in the world’s only communist country.
When a world-class celebrity sucks his/her country, people naturally become familiar with the athlete and companies consider advertising.
Jesus Christ, with the mindset that the only good Chinese people are those who give money, was ready to shout “I Love China.” Throughout the past episodes, the faces of famous Chinese players he knew quickly flashed through his mind.
“… Fuck, there isn’t one?”
Crescent Shoes’ advertisement that Chinese soccer will dominate the world in the future was a distant future that has not yet arrived.
In China, there was no player whose name was known after Wu Lei.
“Anyway, it’s Urei…”
The Lord Jesus could not bear to say that he was his idol.
In the end, Jesus had no choice but to leave out the soccer players and decided to mention Korea’s most widely known attractions.
“Zoo Jesus, how far can the Chinese national team rise? “Korea, a small country, made it to the semifinals in the World Cup held in their country, so wouldn’t it be possible for us, a large country, to advance to the finals?”
“Is it possible that Jesus Joo’s father is a Korean-Chinese? Don’t you want to play for the Chinese national team?”
Like that.
“Is this the country of Tiananmen?”
The Tiananmen interview was completed.
“I really wanted to come.”
At Jesus’ sudden Tiananmen remarks, the Korean players standing behind him looked shocked.
“Tiananmen is my idol.”
Because the Lord Jesus was standing at the front, he could not see the expressions on the faces of his teammates. He just calmly said what he wanted to say.
And Jesus Christ’s Tiananmen remarks embarrassed the Chinese people and reporters.
“Why are tourist attractions idols?”
“How do I know that! First, send out an article! Even world-renowned striker Zhou Jesus wants to visit Tiananmen Square in Beijing. Write it like this!”
And that evening.
Joo Jesus, who gave the shocking Tiananmen interview at Beijing International Airport, was rolling around on his bed in the Korean national team’s dormitory and refreshing an article.
“Hey, why aren’t there any articles?”
Even after countless refreshes, not a single line of articles came out.
He asked Go Seok-jun with a questioning expression.
Go Seok-jun answered his question in a very blunt voice.
“You must have been attacked by Tiananmen, you crazy bastard!”

The Korea Football Association posted a video of the national team entering the dormitory and the bedroom of the Lord Jesus on their YouTube channel.
[Title: China World Cup, Utilike accommodation revealed]
The video was uploaded without English subtitles, but fans of the Lord Jesus all over the world immediately flocked to the video and took over the comment window.
The video uploaded by the association quickly exceeded 2 million views.
They left comments in their native language, cheering for the Korean national team to achieve good results.
The people of the Republic of Korea felt Gukppong there.
[Title: Kiya… Is this the power of Jesus?]
(Football Association YouTube views exceed 2 million. Jpg)
The reason why Europe conquered the world.
Because there was a prophet Jesus…
└ The world is now… Jesus craze.
└ Subscription again?
└ Really, this is a comment that has nothing to do with the main text, but these days, there are a lot of readers selling Jesus-type names and evangelizing.
└ ㄹㅇ In the first place, the Jesus-type orphanage was Catholic, so I don’t know why Christians are setting it up.
└ What’s even funnier is that the Jesus type is even non-religious lol
Meanwhile, the YouTube videos posted by the association were filling the hearts with Korean people.
“A leader must be serious. “Smukjik-!”
The players began training in earnest at the training center ultimately selected by Utilike.
“Oh! That crazy bastard is so fucking strong.”
The Korean national team conducted rondo training during open training sessions. The crowd erupted in cheers at every little action of the Lord Jesus.
“… “I’m also on the same national team, so why is he the only one getting cheered like that?”
Some jealous reactions erupted.
“Tell me?”
“… “Don’t say it.”
“This is different. This”
Go Seok-jun was irritated by Kim Dong-jun moving his hands quickly back and forth in front of his face.
“Something that looks like a map-like human.”
“Yes, you look like a guinea pig.”
Although Kim Dong-jun is older, the two, who were teammates with the national team, always got along well, so they had no hesitation in dissing and teasing each other’s looks.
“What are two similar humans doing together?”
Likewise, the Lord Jesus, who got along well with them, naturally got involved with the two friends who were dissing his appearance.
“… Fuck.”
“… Should I kill him?”
The reaction of the two was cold, unlike before.

The 2042 FIFA China World Cup has finally opened.
The first match was against China, pot 1 in Group A, and Nigeria, pot 4 in Group A.
The Korean national team gathered together at Go Seok-jun’s suggestion to watch the opening match between China and Nigeria.
In order to have some alone time, I declined Ko Seok-jun’s offer and watched the Chinese game alone in my room.
In the opening match between China and Nigeria, Nigeria dominated the game from the beginning, and soon a Nigerian striker scored in the first 15 minutes.
I quietly turned off the TV after watching the Nigerian striker celebrate at the corner flag.
I fell into quiet contemplation in a space where no sound could be heard.
Four years have already passed.
Once again, I felt that the four years were both short and long.
“Are there three World Cups left?”
Can I really make it to the World Cup semifinals?
Looking at the evaluation match this time, I think there is some hope.
I started meditating to control my mixed feelings of being a little afraid, a little nervous, and a little excited.
#
The time when the Lord Jesus meditated to organize his complicated mind.
Take advantage of the gap between China and Nigeria at the end of the first half.
“Kids, let’s run with all our might this time. Even though it feels like my heart is going to explode, let’s beat a little bit more.”
Ko Seok-jun went forward and pledged to the Korean national team players to do their best in the World Cup.
“Of course we should work hard for the people who support us, so why are you saying such obvious things?”
Kim Dong-jun responded to his words with a puzzled expression.
He began speaking with a serious expression while looking at the faces of the national team players.
“I’m not saying let’s run hard for the country and people, but let’s run for Jesus. Honestly, haven’t we all been helped by Jesus, either directly or indirectly?”
Hong Do-yoon, who had received a scholarship from the Lord Jesus Orphanage and an overseas group who had experience receiving direct help with the Lord Jesus’ recommendation and various adaptation issues, nodded.
Kim Jin-soo opened up about what he experienced to the domestic fans who gave him a few puzzled looks.
“Domestic players may think that they have not received any help, but it is largely thanks to Jesus that there is so much interest in the K-League and that salaries have increased. Honestly, among the kids who have advanced overseas, are there any more than Jesus who watch the domestic league, give feedback on the game, and promote it on their social media? And when you go abroad later, Jesus will help you a lot so that you can do so on better terms.”
The domestic players who heard Kim Jin-su’s words nodded. Go Seok-jun expressed his gratitude to Jin-soo Kim and added his words.
“Hmm… And Lord Jesus, that bastard pretends to be strong, but he was groaning and having a nightmare last time, probably because of the pressure. We are not skilled enough to help him, but a man has Gao, so shouldn’t he be holding on to his colleague’s ankles?”
As soon as Ko Seok-jun finished speaking.
With Yoo Young-beom taking over as the national team’s starting goalkeeper, the second-choice goalkeeper, who was pushed down as a candidate, opened his mouth with a playful expression.
“But kid, most of the people here are older than you, but not you kids!”
Go Seok-jun responded to his attitude with a similarly playful expression.
“Ah… “Old man, gag!”
After teaming up and watching the rest of the second half of the game between China and Nigeria, the national team players returned to their rooms to check their condition.
And three days after the opening match between China and Nigeria ended with Nigeria winning 3:0.
Korea’s first World Cup match in China is approaching.
Jesus Joo looked embarrassed as he looked at his team-mates with solemn expressions.
“What, who threatened you in a tank? “What’s wrong with everyone’s expressions?”
