Chapter 158 – Ibuprofen – 3
#
The Korean national team lifted their morale by linking arms just before the start of the game.
“Lord Jesus, let’s make sure that idiot doesn’t enter the stadium injured for no reason!”
As soon as Yoo Young-beom, who wore the captain’s armband in place of Joo Jesus, who missed the game due to injury, finished speaking.
Ko Seok-jun, who plays as a left wing forward for Dortmund, immediately opened his mouth.
“Kids, today you really have to run for your life. What if we don’t do well here and Jesus plays and his injury gets worse?”
Go Seok-jun added his words, shaking as if he didn’t want to even imagine it.
“If it were me, I wouldn’t go to Korea, I would immigrate.”
Ko Seok-jun’s words showed venom on the faces of the K-League players as they imagined Incheon Airport on fire.
“I just thought it was flying.”
“Your imagination is so poor, is it barely okay?”
“Then what were you thinking?”
“… “Bamboo spear?”
“… Are you screwed?”
“Right… ?”
The players prepared for the game by pledging that they would never let the Lord Jesus play.
#
Yoo Young-beom felt that the captain’s armband on his left shoulder was very heavy.
Upon hearing the news that Joo Jesus was injured in the last match against the Netherlands, Yoo Young-beom’s eyes immediately became dizzy.
Jesus Joo, who always led the national team to victory, disappeared due to injury. Now many people are expressing their expectations.
‘Ah… I’ve been playing really comfortably so far.’
A tremendous burden weighed down on his shoulders.
“Bumreluya!! Go for it!! “There is only you!!”
Even the cheering sound of the audience behind him felt like a burden to him.
Ouch-!
Excessive pressure causes nausea.
Yoo Young-beom also thought that he would rather give up the game.
“Kids~~ If you can’t settle down with Japan, call me~~!”
At that time, the languid voice of the Lord Jesus was heard from the bench.
The moment Yoo Young-beom heard the voice of the Lord Jesus, he relaxed without even realizing it.
The mere fact that Joo Jesus was on the replacement list made Yoo Young-beom feel at ease.
Yoo Young-beom, who was unable to see his surroundings due to tension, could see the South Korean national team players laughing at Joo Jesus’ remarks.
“Don’t even think about moving from there!”
“That’s right! “If you run for no reason and get injured, we’re the ones screwed!”
While Ko Seok-jun and Kim Dong-jun are urging the Lord Jesus to be quiet.
Beep-!
The referee blew the whistle, signaling the start of the quarterfinal match between Korea and Japan.
You can hear the cheering of the audience along with the warm wind behind you.
“Fighting for the Republic of Korea!!”
Yoo Young-beom, who felt a sense of pressure and responsibility, somehow felt that he would not lose to Japan.
‘This reminds me of Mallorca…’

[Title: Revisiting the Mallorca days.]
(Beomleluja blocking Barcelona’s shots in succession. Gif)
In those days, Panleluia was a legend.
At that time, we thought we had gained a strong guardian.
However.
(Yoo Young-beom wearing the national team uniform conceding a goal to the Netherlands. Gif)
What is this trash bastard?
Why did you go to Barcelona and come back after being nerfed?
Under… Kure released poison on us.
└ Honestly, we need to listen to Kure’s position on this as well…
└ Did you come?
└ Ha… The club was in trouble ever since it was sold to Real Madrid for 40 billion won.
└ ㄹㅇ When I think about it;; From then on, I started liking it.
└ Luis García Bossam, his form has improved since he got rid of it haha He’s carrying the Spanish national team by the collar now.
└ ㅇㅈ;; And who was the one who transferred and brought Luis Garcia? He transferred and hasn’t been able to play lately.
└ Ah haha black sheep? Hahamaybe his name was Javier Marias? I think so
└ ㅇㅇ That’s right, Javier Marias has been injured and has been in a slump since moving to Barcelona.
└ ㅆㅂ Masking Kure is a science…

5 minutes in the first half.
South Korea 0:0 Japan
Hideyoki Tanaka, who caught the ball in midfield, hit a surprise mid-range shot that narrowly missed the goal.
“Ugh, that’s a shame!”
Behind Hideyoki Tanaka, who had a regretful expression, the Korean players were caught with a stern expression.
“Don’t worry about the space behind you and stop them from hitting mid-range shots!!”
Yoo Young-beom raised his voice toward those defenders.
“Ah! Fuck. Don’t block the view right in front of your nose, go out and block it!”
The defense quickly reacted with a nervous expression to Yoo Young-beom’s sharp appearance, which was different from usual.
Let’s let the Korean national team, which was cowed by Japan’s attack, raise its line and fight back.
For a while, the game consisted of a river-rivalry structure.
The first 15 minutes were a fierce midfield battle.
Japan’s shot once again flew toward the Republic of Korea’s goal.
“Esssss-!! Kitaaaaa!!”
Excited voices came out from the Japanese stands as the effective shot headed toward the goal was different from before.
But.
Teok-!
Japan’s shot was blocked by Yoo Young-beom’s save.
“Ah…”
A sigh of regret flowed from the Japanese audience. Yoo Young-beom, who succeeded in catching the shot stably, immediately got up and launched a counterattack.
“Run!!”
Even before Yoo Young-beom’s voice was heard, Go Seok-jun and Kim Dong-jun, who saw him stably catching the ball, were running toward the Japanese camp.
Yoo Young-beom threw a long pass into the empty space in front of Kim Dong-jun.
Kim Dong-jun, who peeled off the rushing Japanese defenders, sent a pass to Ko Seok-jun.
Kim Dong-jun’s pass went towards Ko Seok-jun as quickly as it glided across the grass.
Ko Seok-jun, who received Kim Dong-jun’s pass, curled his right foot and shot as soon as he received the ball.
Tang-!
Ko Seok-jun’s winning right-foot curl hit the Japanese goal post. It fell into the penalty box.
Before Baek Dong-soo pushes the bounced ball into Japan’s goal.
Japan’s defense was one step ahead and cleared it.
“Ah-! “I would have put that in if Jesus was there!!”
Lament over the absence of the Lord Jesus broke out in the Korean audience.
Unfortunately, Korea’s shooting did not result in a score. After Ko Seok-jun’s shot, the flow of the game shifted to Korea.

25 minutes in the first half.
[South Korea is pushing Japan hard!!]
The Republic of Korea was pushing Japan hard while maintaining the previous trend.
“The left side is empty! Don’t lower the line, you idiots, push harder!!”
Lord Jesus, excited to see South Korea overpower Japan, came out to the touch line and cheered for his teammates.
[Joo Jesus also comes out to the touch line and gives encouragement to the players!!]
[That’s right! Such actions by the captain, Lord Jesus, can give great strength to his teammates!]
└ I hear swearing. Is that helpful?
└ You are mistaken, our Jesus brother is kind and cannot swear.
“Ah!! You can’t put that in!! Even if Yohan filled it, I would have put it in!!”
Utilike, who had trouble giving tactical instructions due to the loud voice of the Lord Jesus, ended up kicking the Lord Jesus out to the bench.
“Fuck!! Jejus!! “Shut up and go back to your seat!!”
[… Coach Utilike tells Joo Jesus to go back to the bench.]
#
37 minutes in the first half.
Let’s not finish it in a critical situation.
The trend of the stadium gradually turned towards Japan.
[Japan’s generational change has been exquisitely accomplished. Experienced midfielders release the ball in the midfield, and the slightly lower energy level is compensated by other young players running around. Coach Tomiyasu, the coach of the Japanese national team, created a good team.]
Hideyoki Minamino, a veteran midfielder who played for Atletico Madrid, caught the ball. South Korea quickly applied pressure.
[Yes. However, even Japan’s attack is unable to shake Korea’s net, which is guarded by the awakened goalkeeper Yoo Young-beom!!]
Hideyoki Minamino gently relieved Korea’s pressure and passed a forward pass to Hideyoki Tanaka who penetrated and returned.
[Hideyoki Tanaka avoids Hong Do-yoon’s tackle and pushes him to the side!! Kurosaki Hanabi!! Just shoot!]
Hanabi Kurosaki shot the ball pushed by Hideyoki Tanaka in an unmarked chance, but was again blocked by Yoo Young-beom’s save.
The Korean commentators roared at the untouchable appearance from the Mallorca days, which was shown for the first time in a long time.
[Youngbeom Yoo!! Yoo Young-beom succeeds in blocking it once again!! It’s crazy! Goalkeeper Yoo Young-beom in this game was crazy!!]
└ Beomreluya! Pan-reluya! Panreluia!
└ Wow, is he showing his form from his time at Mallorca?
└ ㄹㅇ After moving to Barcelona, I was disappointed because I couldn’t show my form during my time at Mallorca!!
└ Let’s go!!! Did you doubt Panleluya!!
└ Ah! I finally believe in Panreluiah!!
Japanese soccer fans were frustrated when Hanabi Kurosaki’s shot missed.
[To… Hanabi’s good shot was blocked by a save by Kankokuno goalkeeper Yoo Young-beom.]
└ Kurosaki Pagaya!! I can’t put that in!!
└ Isn’t that guy Zainichi?
└ Oh my gosh, you call Kurosaki Zainichi…
└ Heeeeek-!! Jejus is smiling!!
└ Jejus Sama!! It’s still a draw, so please don’t come out!!

The time when the Korean people cheered Yoo Young-beom’s crazy save.
Joo Jesus, who was kicked out of the touch line for interfering with tactical instructions, looked at Yoo Young-beom making an amazing save and cried out in a voice that was half happy and half angry.
“That bastard, why didn’t he do that well against the Netherlands?”
A bench member who heard Jesus muttering to himself asked the player sitting next to him with a puzzled expression.
“… “Isn’t Youngbeom older than Jesus?”
“Fuck, be quiet… Don’t you even notice?”
