Chapter 184 – Side Story 18: Vs Argentina -2
#
The first half, which was reminiscent of UFC, ended. There were a total of 7 yellow cards in the first half alone. Fortunately, no red card was issued.
The 7 yellow cards were handed out to Korea (4 each) and Argentina (3 cards each).
“Calm down! Don’t get caught up in the other person’s actions! No matter how shitty the referee’s decision is, persevere! Let’s get revenge on those bastards with victory!”
The coaches of South Korea and Argentina had to waste halftime trying to calm their overly excited players.
Still, thanks to the efforts of the two coaches, the players succeeded in calming down their overly excited emotions to some extent.
Half time ended, and the second half continued.
[The second half begins with the referee’s whistle. The game was very rough in the first half.]
[Yes. Fortunately, no players were seriously injured, but I hope the second half of the game will be played in a more calm manner.]
Jesus, who had been strangely quiet in the first half, began to move in earnest.
“Jesus type!”
Joo Yoon withstood the Argentine players’ foul play and delivered a pass to Joo Jesus.
‘Oh, that’s pretty cool.’
Zhou Jesus was impressed after receiving Zhou Yun’s pass. Oh my god, the Korean national team made such a thoughtful pass that was considerate of the recipient even in such an urgent situation. Is this really reality? It’s not a dream, right?
“Waaaaa-!!”
The Lord Jesus catches the ball with an incredulous look on his face. The cheers of the crowd gathered in one corner of the stadium and cheering for the Republic of Korea grew louder.
“The coming of Jesus brings all light and blessings!”
Perhaps because Lord Jesus was not in good condition, he did not perform well in the first half. The spectators’ hearts fluttered as soon as the Lord Jesus caught the ball.
“Jesus heaven, disbelief hell!”
As soon as Joo Jesus caught the ball, he easily shook off the Argentine defensive midfielder who applied pressure. The cheers of the audience watching this grew louder.
“Hey! Lord Jesus!”
Joo Jesus looked at Go Seok-jun who was infiltrating and stabbed a pass. Ko Seok-jun used his quick feet to get past the defender and hit a shot. Unfortunately, it was blocked by the Argentine goalkeeper’s save.
“Ah! Fuck!”
As soon as Go Seok-jun failed to score, he felt stinging gazes on his back. He had to pull his uniform up to his face and desperately look away from the Lord Jesus.
#
Since Ko Seok-jun had been showing off his scoring ability recently, he was confident that he had scored the moment he had a one-on-one opportunity with the Argentine goalkeeper.
Poop-!
“Vamos!!”
“Ah! Fuck!”
But he betrayed my trust. Nevertheless, I embraced him with the heart of a great man.
“It’s okay, you might not be able to include it.”
“… Right? “It was hard to score there just now, wasn’t it?”
I was instantly enraged by his shameless appearance. No, how could you miss that? I just can’t understand… No, I understand. Lord Jesus, you are the true leader of this era. Let’s laugh, smile and embrace his mistakes.
“If it were me, I would have added it. “You are not me.”
“…”
“You’re a soccer bastard. Are you okay? I can’t put it in! “I understand!”
I forcibly pulled up the corners of my mouth that did not go up and made an awkward smile.
“If only it were me! I would have included it! You are fine! You…”
Go Seok-jun must have been truly touched by my continued comfort.
“Just curse, you son of a bitch.”
His face turned red, and he immediately cursed. Anyway, this guy can barely be this impressed.
I gently rubbed the underside of my nose and then put my thumb up.
“How can my comfort give you strength?”
#
60 minutes in the second half. I received the ball in a similar situation to Ko Seok-jun. The Argentine goalkeeper with a nervous expression runs out, narrowing the shooting angle just like he did with Ko Seok-jun.
“Hostia!!”
After beating the oncoming Argentine goalkeeper with La Croqueta, he succeeded in scoring by pushing the ball into the empty goal with his left foot.
The referee points to the center circle and concedes the goal. Shouts of victory were heard from the stands where the Korean spectators were located.
“Waaah-!! Jesus heaven, disbelief hell!!”
“Hallelujah!!”
Leaving behind the cheers of the audience, I approached Ko Seok-jun, who was still in shock and struggling, and offered words of comfort.
“Did I tell you? If it were me, I would have added it, but you said it was okay. Because you…”
“… Because soccer is shit!!”
Did my consolation work? Ko Seok-jun in the 75th minute of the second half. As soon as he received Juyun’s pass, he struck Argentina’s goal with a sudden mid-range shot.
“Kaaaaa!!!”
As soon as Argentina’s net was shaken, he ran to the corner flag and roared.
Boy. A lot has been accumulated from Argentina.
I approached him carefully and patted his shoulder to offer comfort.
“You know that the reason you scored a goal was all because of my comfort, right?”
#
The moment when Korea thought they had won by scoring two goals in a row. Argentina’s fierce counterattack has begun.
Leo Lopez, who caught the ball, broke through Hong Do-yoon and kicked low and fast toward the far post.
Early in the first half, Leo Lopez wasted his stamina by kicking here and there, but his toes were still alive.
His shot seemed to go straight into the corner of the goal.
‘It’s done!’
Leo Lopez clenched his hands, confident of scoring.
Teok-!
However, Yoo Young-beom successfully saved Leo Lopez’s shot by extending his arm. The ball, which was blocked by Yoo Young-beom’s save, was quickly cleared outside the touch line by Kim Dong-jun.
“Pedejo~ Did you know you were going in? That’s No~No~”
Leo Lopez saved his own shot and looked at Yoo Young-beom, who was waving his finger.
The game resumed with Argentina’s throw-in, and Leo Lopez, who once again caught the ball, focused on the ball between his legs and curled it into the upper left corner.
The ball narrowly passed Yoo Young-beom’s hand. However, perhaps Yoo Young-beom’s provocation gave him a little more power.
Kaang-!
Leo Lopez’s shot hit the goal post.
The ball hit the goal post and fell in front of Jooyun, who was inside the penalty box.
The Argentine players immediately attempted to press forward.
Without even looking at his surroundings, Joo Yoon threw a long pass towards Joo Jesus, who was always watching the defense from the same spot.
Jooyun falls to the ground as soon as he kicks the ball.
When he was about to get up from his seat.
“Wow ahhhhh !!”
The sound of an elk crying was heard from the audience. Jooyun, surprised, raised his head.
I could see Jesus Joo raising his hands in the center circle and the Argentine goalkeeper kneeling in despair in front of the goal.
‘This is crazy! ‘Did you just kick it in there?’
#
The ball cleared by Jooyun flew into the center circle, and the Argentine goalkeeper, who was outside the penalty box, urgently ran back to the goal.
The goal does not move from its fixed position. After playing soccer for over two centuries, a picture is naturally drawn of where the goal is.
Therefore, I could only focus on the ball flying into the center circle.
Boom-!
At the right time, I raised my legs in the air and flipped my body backwards. I put my right foot exactly on the flying ball.
Overhead kick. Or, a shot called a bicycle kick was made from the tips of my feet.
The ball was placed properly on the top of the foot, and the ball, impacting cleanly, flew at high speed and shook Argentina’s net.
The referee with a blank expression comes into view. Due to an occupational disease, he reflexively took a shot at the center circle and conceded the goal. It felt like he couldn’t believe what he was seeing.
Even after the referee acknowledged the goal, there was silence in the stands for a long time.
And after a while.
“Wow, crazy!!”
Let someone make a sound to break the silence.
“Wow… Waaaaa!!”
A huge cheer that shook the stadium erupted.
Under. I did a lot of fan service today.
Everyone will be satisfied with this, right?
I have to leave work now.
I spread my hands and subtly signaled to the Korean bench to leave work.
#
[Jesus Fucking Christ!! Jeju scores with a fantastic bicycle kick!]
[Oh, god. Even saying it is perfect is not enough. These are truly unreasonable soccer skills!]
[All the spectators in the stadium are frozen. Anyone who sees such a fantastic score would freeze. I feel like I want to quietly enjoy Jeju’s fantastic shooting like them!]
#
Jesus Joo was replaced and Argentina continued their onslaught. However, he was blocked by Yoo Young-beom’s super saves every time.
Just before the end of the game, Leo Lopez’s angry dribble took place on the ground in an attempt to prevent a humiliating 0-point loss.
With his dribbling, the Korean defenders melted away, and even Yoo Young-beom, who was in impregnable mode, was penetrated.
There wasn’t much time left for Argentina. Not long after Leo Lopez scored. The referee blew the whistle to announce the end of the game.
The moment when Argentine players sat down on the ground and shed tears
“Youngbeom, our team’s goalkeeper Ter Neuer is getting older now, so we need to find a replacement, but are you thinking about coming to Real Madrid?”
Joo Jesus approached Yoo Young-beom, who made a fantastic super save, and carefully offered him a scouting offer.
“… “What?”
Yoo Young-beom couldn’t believe his ears for a moment at the Lord Jesus’ recommendation.
‘Am I at Real Madrid? Ah, you probably heard it wrong.’
“Real Madrid coming?”
But at the absurd words that came again from the mouth of the Lord Jesus. He realized he had heard correctly.
‘So now, this bastard is trying to persuade me to transfer to a rival team?’
Yoo Young-beom made a dumbfounded expression.
“… “Do you know that I belong to FC Barcelona?”
“Of course.”
The Lord Jesus has an attitude as if what’s the problem with that.
Yoo Young-beom was momentarily speechless at the Lord Jesus’ confident attitude.
“… “If I move to Real Madrid, Barça fans will try to kill me.”
He tried to reject Lord Jesus’ offer because of Barcelona fans.
“Just that much?”
The Lord Jesus scoffed at Yoo Young-beom’s words and pointed at himself.
