Chapter 155 – Equivalent Exchange – 2
#
It was a game in which Korea conceded two goals and the Netherlands was virtually victorious.
[What the hell! Oh… The god of soccer has come to the stadium! It’s a shocking scoring scene!!]
Things changed after the Lord Jesus scored.
The shocking scene of Jesus Joo scoring a goal through a 6-man dribble.
The single word God was clearly engraved in the brains of those who watched the scene.
The stadium was silent for a moment even though the net was shaking.
Let the Lord Jesus take the ball out of the goal and start running to the center circle.
“Waaaaa-!!”
Only then did the crowd erupt in cheers.
The Dutch players began to be frightened by the expressionless face of Joo Jesus, who showed no emotion even after scoring a fantastic goal.
“Don’t be scared, you bastards!”
I realized that the atmosphere in the stadium had become strange.
Netherlands coach Giovanni van Gaal shouted from the touchline and encouraged his players.
Beep-!
The game resumes with the referee’s whistle.
[South Korea’s defensive organization is shaken once again! Jordan Strawick succeeds in entering the penalty box!!]
Korea’s defense was still unstable.
After Joo Jesus’ score, the defense, which still came to its senses to some extent, managed to block the Netherlands’ attack.
[Kim succeeds in blocking Jordan Strawick’s shot!! Hong safely kicks the ball out of the touch line.]
The Korean national team was able to block the Netherlands’ fierce attacks in the 42nd minute of the first half.
In a corner kick situation in the Netherlands, the ball cleared by Kim Jin-su goes to Joo Jesus. I attempted a counterattack.
#
“Oh!”
Let the ball that Kim Jin-soo cleared go towards me.
Voices filled with anticipation were heard from the stands where the Korean audience was located.
As expected by Korean audiences.
I won the competition with Rut Kroll and succeeded in winning the ball.
The moment I was about to run with the ball.
“Lord Jesus! Watch your back!”
I heard Go Seok-jun’s voice in my ears.
Tadak-!
After Go Seok-jun’s voice. I realized that someone was running behind me.
Tuk-!
I used my heel to get the ball between the player’s legs.
As soon as you take the ball out, turn your body and break through. The embarrassed Dutch player stretched out his hand to pull my uniform.
I shook off his hand and started running towards the Dutch camp.
As I was running with the ball, I caught a glimpse of the southern-colored uniform in the corner of my right field of vision.
I came to a sudden stop along with the ball.
Due to the sudden stop, a creaking sound was heard from my knees.
I know very well that sudden changes in direction and sudden stops are also bad for your knees.
Because we knew that if we could win against the Netherlands, there was a high probability of advancing to the semifinals.
I was determined to win this game, even if it was a bit difficult.
As soon as the ball is struck, the heavy-bodied Dutch player quickly disappears in front.
I started accelerating quickly back into the space in front of me.
Let’s beat the Dutch players who are rushing at us one by one.
Before we knew it, we had reached the penalty box.
I kicked the ball while watching the goalkeeper pop out.
The ball flew past the goalkeeper and hit the net.

The moment when Jesus Joo’s chip shot shook the Netherlands’ goal.
The caster who was broadcasting the game at Tianhe Stadium screamed at the top of his voice.
[Goooool-!! South Korea’s Joo Jesus just before the end of the first half! Bring the game back to square one with a fantastic chip shot!!!]]
After scoring, the Lord Jesus slowly walked to the corner flag and spread his arms.
The crowd there began to shout the name of the Lord Jesus
“Waaaaa-! Jesus Heaven!! “Hell of disbelief!!”
A time when everyone cheered.
The commentator, who was watching Jesus score, asked the other players to work hard with a stern expression, perhaps because he was concerned about Jesus’ knees.
[Ah-! Lord Jesus player! He really calmly looks at the goalkeeper’s position and taps the ball to score a goal! But in this game, other players need to do their part quickly! Is there too much pressure on Joo Jesus right now?]
The celebration of the Lord Jesus ended amidst the commentators’ concerns.
Shortly after the game resumed with a Netherlands kickoff, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.
[Ah-! The first half is over! South Korea lost two goals in a row early in the game! Thanks to Jesus Joo’s multiple goals, we succeeded in tying the score!]
[Yes. I hope that the halftime locker room conversation will revive the movements of the players who seemed heavy due to tension in the first half.]
#
The first half of the 2042 China World Cup round of 16 match between Korea and the Netherlands ended 2-2.
The Netherlands, who had thought they would easily advance to the quarterfinals by scoring two goals early in the first half, seemed to have been hit with cold water by Jesus Joo’s multiple goals.
A frozen locker room atmosphere unfolded.
In particular, the mentality of the defenders who failed to stop the Lord Jesus seemed to be broken.
Coach Giovanni van Gaal prepared for the second half by comforting the defenders.
The locker room in Korea at that time.
Contrary to the idea that the atmosphere would be good with Joo Jesus scoring the equalizer.
The atmosphere in the locker room here was also very cold, just like in the Netherlands.
“… Don’t you all feel sorry for Jejus? Is Jesus even your parent? How long will he have to clean up your poop for you? Until he was overused and retired due to injury? Fuck off!!”
While the Lord Jesus was away for a while to treat his swollen knee.
Utilike began pouring bitter words at the players.
“Come on! Come on!!! Hasn’t everyone seen the bridge of Jejus? While you are scared and scared like an idiot!!
Fighting after being kicked by an opponent! Have you seen his swollen legs?!
This is the World Cup!! You represent your country! But you give up fighting just because you’re afraid that your opponent is bigger than you?!!”
“Didn’t you see the fan waving the Taegeukgi in the stands?! They flew thousands of kilometers just for this one game. “I invested precious time and money to come all the way to cheer you on so that you idiots don’t get discouraged!!”
“… For the sake of Jeju and its spectators, I hope that in the second half, they will show a performance that will make them proud of the Taegeuk symbol on their chest.”
After seeing the coach’s reprimand and Joo Jesus’ swollen knee, the players showed a completely different side from the first half as the second half began.
[From the start of the Korea game, they are pushing the Netherlands hard!!]
[That’s right! This is the Korean national team that was shown in the group stage!! I don’t know what conversation took place in the locker room, but the fighting spirit was evident in the players’ eyes in the second half!!]
South Korea gradually took the initiative and led the game. The Lord Jesus arrived exactly 20 minutes after the start of the second half.
Added one assist to his World Cup record.
[Gooooo! Korea succeeds in turning the tables!! Go Seok-jun’s finish! And the assist of the Lord Jesus!!]
[Hey… Joo Jesus released the pressure from the three players and sent an accurate pass into the space in front of Ko Seok-jun, who was penetrating from the side, dropping the ball. It clearly proves that he is a player of a different class. Ah! Of course, Ko Seok-jun’s first touch and finish were also excellent!]
#
Netherlands coach Giovanni van Gaal said as soon as Korea scored a comeback goal. He immediately used a replacement card.
He brought in an additional striker to regain the initiative that had been lost to Korea and score an equalizer.
Rather, Jesus Joo dug into the weakened link between the defensive organizations and scored his third goal and the team’s fourth goal.
[Lord Jesus!! Lord Jesus!! The Lord Jesus succeeds in a hat trick!!]
Jesus Joo, who scored a hat trick in the 75th minute of the second half, runs to the corner flag and roars.
Utilike prepared a replacement card to prevent any possible injury to the Lord Jesus.
77th minute of the second half.
A harsh foul from the Netherlands was directed at Joo Jesus, who caught the ball.
Utilike looked horrified and decided to immediately replace the Lord Jesus.
78th minute of the second half.
Joo Jesus, who performed a one-man show by scoring 3 goals and 1 assist, left the ground.
And time passes.
The match between the Netherlands and Korea has ended.
[The game is over!! Korea!! Korea!! Successfully advances to the quarterfinals for the first time in away history!!]
The atmosphere of the Republic of Korea suddenly changed to a festival.
[For the first time in the history of the Korean national team, advance to the quarterfinals! Let’s keep this mood going until the quarterfinals and the quarterfinals!!]
Many people enjoyed the festival of advancing to the quarterfinals of the World Cup and were happy about advancing to the semifinals.
[Shock) National team captain Joo Jesus injured?]
Until the news of the Lord Jesus’ injury hit the media.
