Chapter 187 – Side Story 21: The Enemy Within -2
***
After France scored the equalizer, Utilique calmly conceded. As we felt in the game against Argentina, Korea’s shield was far from sturdy.
He believed that Korea’s shield was not enough to block the French spear.
Before changing tactics.
I looked to the Lord Jesus, who would become the core of the changed strategy.
“Fuck! Line up! If you score one goal, score two goals! “We have a really strong hammer!”
The moment he saw the Lord Jesus with a serious expression, he immediately ordered a change in tactics.
[As soon as coach Utilike gives instructions to the players on the touch line, Korea pulls up the line.]
[Rather than handing over the initiative to France like this, I think I will rely on Joo Jesus’ decision-making ability to move up the line and be more aggressive.]
[Ah! France also raises its defensive line as if it doesn’t want to lose?!]
[Yes, France scored an equalizer and took control of the game, so it would be a shame to lose that lead. The game is about to become fun.]
Let’s help Utilike strengthen the defensive line and fight back. French national team coach Mandanda also countered by raising the line.
In this way, the match between Korea and France turned into a thrilling and intense match.
[Both teams are really fierce! They keep putting pressure on the players without even taking a break!]
In a fierce midfield battle where the ball was lost and lost, even Joo Jesus went down to the midfield and added strength.
[Joo Jesus blocks the ball one step ahead! Take the pressure off yourself and start carrying the ball!]
Only then was the Republic of Korea able to temporarily take the lead.
[Joo Jesus, who was carrying the ball, looks at Ko Seok-jun penetrating from the side! The Lord Jesus’ through pass!]
Joo Jesus, who caught the ball, put a through ball into the space in front of Ko Seok-jun, who was penetrating from the side.
[Go Seok-jun! It’s fast! Go Seok-jun runs quickly, bypassing the side defender! One-on-one with the goalkeeper! Stay calm, shoouuut!!]
[Ah-!! Ko Seok-jun’s shot missed the goal by just one perilla leaf!]
Ko Seok-jun’s shot, which received a pass from Joo Jesus, narrowly missed the French goal.
“Ah… “What a waste.”
The moment when the Korean spectators, who were expecting a score, sat down one by one with disappointed expressions.
[Oh! Korea! The backspace is open! It’s dangerous!]
France’s threatening attack continued.
Pwow-!
Similar to the equalizer situation, Eric Corvino used his high speed to pass a long pass from the back to the front, crossing the Korean defense zone.
[Eric Corvino runs at high speed, and Hong Do-yoon follows closely next to him! We have to stop it! Hong Do-yoon!!]
The audience who were trying to take their seats looked at the ground in a hesitant position.
[Eric Corvino! Withstand Hong Do-yoon’s struggle and shoot!!]
[Oooooh! Youngbeom Yoo!! Youngbeom Yoo!! Yoo Young-beom blocks it! Goalkeeper Yoo Young-beom’s super save!!]
Until Yoo Young-beom saved the day with a super save. I couldn’t take my eyes off the ground, holding on to his pounding chest.
“Wow, I just lost 10 years of my life span.”
***
Not long after scoring the first goal.
I was deep in thought.
Would beating France and winning easily here really be an unforgettable game?
Ah. Of course, if you win by a large margin, it will be a fun game, but isn’t there a lack of romance that is difficult to explain in words?
Just as the Champions League final during the previous treble challenge remains in the hearts of madridistas as a famous game that is still talked about.
The fierce fighting spirit of the players who do not give up even when the team is losing, the hero who appears, and the thrilling comeback victory that results are romantic, driven by romance. Isn’t this the path a soccer star who only pursues romance should take?
While I was gathering my thoughts, Korea conceded a goal and the score was tied, but my mind was at peace. Ah. You just conceded a point. That was all I felt.
The game resumed with kick-off, and I easily passed the oncoming French player and then sent a pass into the space in front of Adam Joo, who was trying to overlap.
“Connard! (Fuck you!)”
No matter how much I think about it, it’s at least 50 years too early to take the credit away from me, kid!
“Oooooh-!”
When Korea’s offensive opportunity was created, cheers were heard from the stands wearing red uniforms.
Adam Joo, who received the pass, sent a cutback to break down France’s flank, and Joo Yoon tried to finish it directly, but unfortunately, the shot was easily blocked as it headed directly in front of the French goalkeeper.
“Ah! “Fuck!”
Joo Yun held his head and cursed in disappointment.
Beep!
The moment when the French goalkeeper kicks the ball forward long distance. The referee ended the first half.
Continuing half-time locker room conversation time.
“@$$$@ Jejus! Do you understand?”
“Si”
During halftime, I continued to worry, listening to Utilike’s tactical instructions through one ear and passing them through the other.
‘Ha, what should I do!’
Time passed quickly and half-time ended. Let the Korean national team appear on the field. The Red Devils were seen cheering enthusiastically along with the madridistas.
It occurs to me, but shouldn’t they also be able to taste the romantic recipe of the Lord Jesus that they couldn’t experience in the domestic league?
They came not to China, which was close by like in the last World Cup, but to Spain, which is 9,000 km away from Seoul, to cheer on the national team game. Shouldn’t we leave behind memories of an unforgettable match full of romance?
After thinking about it, I decided.
The soccer concept this time is building memories.
If someone reads my thoughts and loses while trying to make memories for the audience, they might ask if it would be a catastrophe.
Then I will answer him.
If you lose while looking for romance, even defeat is romantic.
Of course, if I hadn’t cleared the mission in the last World Cup, I would have run away foaming at the mouth, saying fuck it’s romantic.
I already completed the mission, so what can I do? If you don’t like it, it’s the beginning of the mission… Oh, no. If this shitty system really resets the mission, it would be a disaster.
Now that I think about it, I’m talking about the system. Even though I cleared the mission, it looks like there is no reward yet.
I guess the system only gave me a mission and a curse.
Under. As the representative orphan of Korea, I really disliked these words being used on the internet.
I couldn’t help it.
System, are you an orphan too?

The first half ended with the referee’s whistle. Korea and France exchanged blows each at the beginning of the game, and most viewers expected a close match.
Contrary to their thoughts, the score was maintained at 1:1. However, the content of the game wasn’t boring at all.
[Title: Wow, how fun was the game? Is it true that Gleagen fell behind?]
He expressed satisfaction with the exciting game. Posts that had not been posted in the community for a while began pouring out as the first half ended.
[Title: Ha, the game is really fun.]
One thing I regret is that it would have been better if Jesus had just finished the game instead of passing.
└ㄹㅇ;; Fuck. Just hit me.
└ Then no one will give you a pass.
└ If Jesus is executed in Jungwon now, Korea will be pushed out ㅅㅂ;;
└ What are you doing! Lord Jesus, King of Orphans! Don’t run the orphan gacha!
└ I turned it, but it was ruined.
└ Ah, this year’s orphanage is going to fail?
└ ㅇㅇ;; It seems a bit trashy to label young kids by grade, but this rider doesn’t have any notable talent. The best was uncommon.
└No rares?
└ ㅇㅇ;;
└ Ha, this rider’s gacha was a disaster.
Community users who had been writing posts quickly for a while quickly disappeared once the second half started.
[Title: Over there? Is there anyone? It’s so cold here.]
Mite. I am baby Chukboong. If you do this, you will freeze to death!
└ Go watch the game, idiot. While you are talking nonsense here. Because the defense melted like beef and conceded a goal.
└ Fuck you. After seeing your comment, I went into the app. It’s 1:1.
└ Hing! I was fooled!
***
The second half of the game between Korea and France has begun. France pushed South Korea hard at the start of the second half.
[Eric’s shot!! Oooooh! Hong Do-yoon throws his body to block it!]
Hong Do-yoon blocked Eric’s shot, which scored the equalizer in the first half, with his body. But the second ball went to France.
[The ball hasn’t gone out yet! Ah! It’s dangerous! Korea!]
Korea is in danger of conceding a goal.
The moment when the Korean audience closed their eyes tightly.
[Youngbeom Yoo! Yoo Young-beom’s super save!! Save Korea from crisis!!]
Yoo Young-beom quickly recovered his lost balance and launched himself immediately, successfully making a save.
[Shoot!! Yoo Young-beom blocks it again!! Korea’s guardian spirit Yoo Young-beom succeeds in making a save!
Even during France’s one-sided offensive that continued for a while, Yoo Young-beom steadfastly protected the Republic of Korea’s goal.
[Also! Also! Also! This is Yoo Young-beom! It’s crazy! You’re crazy, Yoo Young-beom! Yashin possessed his body in this game!]
Yoo Young-beom, whose physical age has reached its prime and who has begun to gain the experience he lacked, has become a noticeably different goalkeeper than he was during the last World Cup.
Although we conceded a goal in the first half because we were embarrassed by Eric’s speed, which was faster than expected.
‘Extra goals don’t count even if you die.’
That mistake actually stimulated Yoo Young-beom’s fighting spirit.
Time passes so quickly. About halfway through the second half.
‘Ah. Fuck. ‘This is fucked.’
The Lord Jesus, who was pursuing romance, realized that there was a fatal error in his plan.
If France doesn’t score, the plan goes awry.
‘The enemy was inside!’
Yoo Young-beom was ruining the perfect plan.
