Chapter 174 – Side Story 8: The Lord Jesus and the Children.
#
Following the last international match against Syria, I sat on the bench in this match against Saudi Arabia.
Regardless of the result of the game, there was no reason for me to play in the game against Saudi Arabia because Korea had already confirmed its advance to the World Cup finals with the previous victory.
The problem in Korea was that the skill gap between starters and candidates was too large. Utilike tried to reduce this width as much as possible.
Therefore, in addition to me, Utilique left out most of the starting players for this game against Saudi Arabia and made a starting list focusing on the second team and young prospects.
It is not easy for the national team to discover new talent and give them opportunities. Since reaching the finals of the last World Cup, Korean players have broken the limits they thought.
Filled with confidence, they showed excellent performance during the Asian qualifiers that could hardly be considered an Asian team and earned points, which gave Utilique some time to discover and test new players.
“Come on!! Don’t be nervous! Just do what you prepared!!”
Just before the game started, Utilike encouraged the young prospects and told them to play with confidence because it doesn’t matter if they lose the game.
‘Confidence is important.’
I nodded at Utilike’s words. As with any sport, if you are not confident in your skills, you make excuses by saying you are safety-oriented and your play becomes simple.
“Grumbling…” .”
Even Go Seok-jun, who is right now next to me, snoring with his head down, ignoring Uttilike’s speech, has been making more and more active attempts to break through, which was always pointed out as a problem in Dortmund.
“Pew…”
As a result, he began to receive better evaluations from his team.
Oh, by the way, Kim Dong-jun and Yoo Young-beom are currently on the ground because there are no notable replacements. Poor guys.
“Booooo-!”
“Muhammad is the last prophet!”
No, but I don’t even play in the game, so why are they booing like that when I see my face?
While I was furious, I quickly made the sign of the cross towards the Saudi crowd who were booing.
Beep-!
Seeing the two teams ready, the referee blew his whistle and the game started.

Unlike Korea, which went into the game with a relaxed mind, Saudi Arabia was competing for second place in its group and aiming to advance to the World Cup finals.
They treated Korea’s young players roughly, discouraged them, and tried to take the game a little easier.
But.
“Aaaaah!”
Rather, the Saudi Arabian player was rolling around on the ground due to the great combination play of Jooyun and Joonazareth.
The Lord Jesus, who was watching, nodded his head with a satisfied expression.
The image of the Lord Jesus nodding his head was projected on the electronic display.
“Booooo-!!”
Is it because the sign of the devil’s cross was made right before the game started?
“Booooo-!!”
Saudi audiences booed him every time he appeared on the electronic display.
‘Is this the moment when we need the magic wand of Jesus Christ…? .’
Jesus Joo, who could not bear the booing from the crowd, approached Uttilike and declared that he would play in the second half of the game.
“Boss, I want to play in the second half and show off the cross of Jesus Christ to those cowardly pagans.”
“You are a non-religious person.”
“Is that important?”
In response to the words of the Lord Jesus, Utilike, who had suffered for a while due to the last public no-show incident, spoke in a tired voice.
“… “Shouldn’t you have played in the last game?”
However, his words did not reach the Lord Jesus, who had already imagined himself scoring a goal and performing the cross celebration in front of the Saudi crowd in his head.

[Title: Jesus-hyung, he won’t appear in this game, right?]
With the win in the last game, it has already been confirmed that we will advance to the World Cup finals. Will you come out?
└ I’m going to call my right-hand man because he doesn’t show up haha
└ In the meantime, you idiot, look at the one thing you are doing haha
└ Don’t! If you are a man, wear both!
└ Oh, you never know, but you have to be a descendant haha
└ Are you meeting any women? ㅋ
└ … (Crying Frog Cone.)
└ The sky cried, this bastard cried, and I cried too.
└ Don’t you have one too? ㅋ
└ … (Crying Frog Cone.)
└ Ha. The whole world is single…
It was a time when most soccer fans had no hope for the Lord Jesus to play in the game.
After halftime, the broadcast camera captured Jesus playing on the field.
[Uh? Joo Jesus will be replaced on the field at the start of the second half!!]
[Joo Jesus returns to the national team after 3 years! What kind of performance will he show!!]
A community user who was watching this urgently posted a post.
[Title: … Uh? Why is the Lord Jesus on the ground?]
Fuck. I guess not?
└ Ah haha, let’s go and collect the stuff~~
└ Haha
└ Me, me! I! What a eunuch!!
└ ㄷㅊ There is still one pair left. Just pick it up and pay it back.
└ Haha1 pair left ㅇㅈㄹ haha

The orphanage trio and Joo Jacob felt their hearts pounding when they saw Joo Jesus, who came on as a substitute at the start of the second half.
‘At las! In the same game as Jesus!’
Not only them, but the appearance of the Lord Jesus, who is said to be the best player in history, changed the atmosphere of the stadium in an instant.
Saudi Arabian players are paying attention to the Lord Jesus. I was unable to control Joo Yun, Joo Adam of Joo Nazareth, and Joo Jacob, who started going wild at the thought that the moment I had only dreamed of had come true.
[Ah! After Joo Jesus was put on the ground, Korean players actively rushed to steal the ball!!]
[That’s right! When I think about playing on the field with the best player in existence, I feel stronger than ever before! Jesus is a human totem and a human talisman whose mere presence helps the players’ morale!]
Even though the spectators, who felt a sense of crisis at the sight of Saudi Arabia shaking, booed the Korean players fiercely.
“Booooo!!”
The first goal between Korea and Saudi Arabia came in the 47th minute of the second half.
[Junasaret steals the ball and passes the pass to Juyun!]
[Juyun! I saw the Lord Jesus penetrating!!]
It exploded from the toes of Joo Jesus, who received Joo Yun’s pass.
Pwow-!
Jesus Joo’s low shot between the goalkeeper’s crotch shook the net.
[Gooooo!!! I went in! Korea’s first goal! Korea’s long-awaited eternal captain Joo Jesus has returned to the field!!]
Jesus Christ ran back to the front of the crowd in Saudi Arabia, who were booing him, and performed Ronaldo’s signature celebration.
“Siuuuuu-!”
[Scoring a goal in just 2 minutes of the national team’s return game! This is the Lord Jesus receiving warnings!!]
And he received a warning from the referee two minutes after being substituted.
The players from the orphanage who wanted to play on the field longer with Jesus exchanged quick glances.
‘Let’s not give balls to Jesus type.’
‘Oki.’
They succeeded in intentionally excluding Joo Jesus from the offensive situation in the game, which resumed with the referee’s whistle.
“Give me the ball!!”
In the end, they successfully held Joo Jesus on the ground until Joo Jesus, who couldn’t bear it anymore and burst out, made a surprise tackle on Joo Yoon, who didn’t pass, and stole the ball.
“Evil-! Fuck-!”
Jooyun, who had fallen to the ground, looked at the referee with a puzzled expression as he motioned for him to get up as it was not a foul.
“No foul-. “Get up from your seat.”
“He was on the same team as me to begin with… ?”
#
[Ah! Joo Jesus tackles Joo Yoon and steals the ball!]
[Wow, that was a very neat tackle. You can steal the ball by just touching the ball accurately. The referee must have been taken aback by Joo Jesus’ clean tackle, so he calls a no-foul on Joo Yoon, who is upset because he fell down.]
└ No hahafuck haha is this a comedy haha
└ There’s a crazy guy who tackles his team for not giving him the ball haha
└ What is the referee who gestures for Joo-yoon to stand up and say it is not a foul while looking at him feeling aggrieved? LOL
└ ㄹㅇ The referee is also funny haha
└ Referee! This team is like a tackler!!
[Yes! And in the meantime, Joo Jesus breaks through the embarrassed Saudi players and succeeds in scoring multiple goals! Hey! Lord Jesus is amazing! If you want to deceive your enemies, first deceive your allies! Jesus, who completely deceived Saudi Arabia, succeeds in scoring multiple goals!]
[Ah… And Jesus Joo, who scored, once again made a provocative celebration and was ejected from the ground. 15 minutes after being substituted. Jesus Joo scores two goals and leaves the ground due to accumulated warnings.]
[It was a really neat comeback match from appearance to exit.]
[Yes. It was a very Joo Jesus-like comeback match.]
└ Kya–!! I’m tired of making the magic cross at the ending!
└ ㄹㅇㅋ
