Chapter 188 – Side Story 22: Giving Up on Romance.
***
“Vamos-!!”
Yoo Young-beom, who once again saved France’s shot, roared. A corner kick was declared because it hit Yoo Young-beom’s hand and crossed the goal line.
While France prepares for a corner kick.
“Okay…”
I swallowed my sleep as I watched my plan for Operation: Building Memories or Romance Ver2 being shattered in real time.
Where on earth did it all go wrong?
Seeing Yoo Young-beom, who didn’t think he was going to concede a point, I clenched my right hand and shook my head.
“Hmm. Objectively, if you replace the goalkeeper, it will be difficult to win, right? When you lose, romance becomes lacking…”
If the second-choice goalkeeper had been a little better, he would have given Youngbeom a break without hesitation with the merciful heart of a Buddha.
“Come to your senses! “Don’t miss the mark man!”
I looked at Yoo Young-beom, who was clenching his fists in disappointment and scolding his fellow defenders.
‘This damn national university has improved its quality to the level of a complete transformation, but is it still not enough?’
And Yoo Young-beom, who even made a save on France’s corner kick, continued to make great saves as if Lev Yashin had come back alive.
***
‘The body is definitely light.’
Yoo Young-beom thought as he jumped at Eric Corvino’s shot. After conceding the first goal, he vowed not to concede any more goals and his form improved with his proper tension.
And as time passed, my senses became sharper.
‘At this level, I think I can stop Jesus from shooting.’
Yoo Young-beom was filled with confidence that he could block any shot.
Chin-!
Eric Corvino’s shot hit his fingertips and missed his goal line. Hong Do-yoon approached with a shout as Yoo Young-beom continued to show off super saves.
“Vamos-!!”
Is it because there are many players playing in Spain and Portugal? Or is it because the captain, Jesus Christ, plays in Spain?
At some point, the Korean national team started shouting “Vamos” Rather than “Fighting”
After giving a high five to Hong Do-yoon, Yoo Young-beom immediately gave instructions to the defensive line.
“What are you doing! “You missed number 8, you bastards!”
When Hong Do-yoon safely cleared France’s corner kick, Korea’s counterattack began.
“Run!”
The ball cleared by Hong Do-yoon went to Kim Dong-jun. Let Kim Dong-jun take off the pressure from France with a one-two pass with Joo Yun.
A large space appeared in front of him, and he ran at high speed to reach France’s penalty box.
“Dongjun!”
Kim Dong-jun glanced at the penalty box when he heard a voice calling him. He crossed as soon as he saw the red suit infiltrating.
Although the cross was higher than he expected, Kim Dong-jun believed that if it was the Lord Jesus, he would somehow get it to his head and score.
However, the ball did not reach the head of the man in the red uniform.
The ball flew past his man and out of the touch line without any resistance.
‘Jesus failed to head the ball?’
While Kim Dong-jun was shocked by the fact that Joo Jesus failed to head the ball.
“Aaaaah-!!”
The man in the red uniform raised his head as he listened to the voices of the Korean audience sighing over the unfortunate missed opportunity to score.
“Dongjun hyung nice cross!!”
The man was a little high, but he gave a thumbs up to Kim Dong-jun, who sent a great cross to him.
Kim Dong-jun was embarrassed when he saw the man’s appearance.
“Go, Go Seok-jun?”
The man there was Go Seok-jun, not the Lord Jesus.
“Dongjun! What are you doing!”
While Kim Dong-jun misunderstood Ko Seok-jun as the Lord Jesus and crossed his arms.
In fact, Joo Jesus, who called Kim Dong-jun, was aiming for a cutback pass from behind Go Seok-jun.
***
Due to Yoo Young-beom’s continued good defense, we gave up on the romantic version 2 plan. It must have been really disappointing for the Madridistas and Korean soccer fans who supported them.
I didn’t think France would be able to overcome Yoo Young-beom, who was in mode that day.
Well, if it were me, I would leisurely break through the goal guarded by Yoo Young-beom. Unfortunately, there was no striker in France who could score against Yoo Young-beom.
I was deep in thought.
But I couldn’t come up with a good idea.
I’m not crazy, and I can’t go back and score an own goal.
“Kkekekekekeul-! That goalie guy is pretty cool! “I don’t think he plays for disgusting Barcelona!”
“You!! I think you’ll look good in a white uniform!”
In the end, I decided to give up on romance. It’s not because the spotlight on Yoo Young-beom was uncomfortable.
This is Santiago Bernabeugo.
Here, I am religion and God.
It occurred to me that being anxious about the ‘six weeks’ in such a sacred place was not an insult to madridistas.
“Oh! Go Seok-jun, why are you there? “Give me back my assist, you son of a bitch!”
“… What’s wrong, Dongjun, why are you acting like this all of a sudden!?”
So I gave up on romance and tried to score, but those two idiots blew my chance.
***
In the 77th minute of the second half, shortly after South Korea’s counterattack was unfortunately canceled.
French midfielder Olivier Pavard’s mid-range shot flew, but Yoo Young-beom, who was in good condition, succeeded in hitting it steadily outside the goal line.
[Youngbeom Yoo! Yoo Young-beom blocks it! Super save! Hey! It was a ball that flew at a very high speed, but I succeeded in stably hitting it outside the goal line!]
[Yes. In this case, because the shooting speed was very fast, it was difficult to handle the ball stably, and as you can see, all the French players ran quickly inside the box to kick the second ball. Then, Korea’s defensive line collapsed momentarily, but goalkeeper Yoo Young-beom avoided the crisis by making a textbook save by sending the ball outside the goal line to buy time to fix the disorganized defensive line.]
While the commentator was speaking. Yoo Young-beom’s stable catch of France’s corner kick was caught on the broadcast screen, and the caster praised Yoo Young-beom’s performance without much thought.
[The player who dominates the 2046 Iberia World Cup quarterfinal match between Korea and France at the Santiago Bernabeu is Jesus, the god of soccer! This is not Eric Corvino, who is called the next Kylian Mbappe! This is goalkeeper Yoo Young-beom, the guardian spirit of Korea!]
└ The national team captain is Yoo Young-beom.
└ The patriotic Lord Jesus who did not attend the Asian Cup should resign from his position as captain right now!
└ ㄹㅇ He just walks around the stadium all day. Why are you sucking like that?
[Yes. Goalkeeper Yoo Young-beom looks to be in good condition. I think it is that day that is commonly spoken of. On a day like this, wouldn’t it be difficult for any striker to break through goalkeeper Yoo Young-beom?]
└ Why does the commentary feel like a Jesus-style sniping?
└ Why is this a sniper? Haha, it’s a fact haha
└ Ha, it’s disgusting to see them come out one by one.
└ㄹㅇ;; Those guys who used to suck when they were competing in the last World Cup are now turning into traitors for refusing to be selected for the Asian Cup.
└ Haha, you ran like a dog to get exemption from military service. What kind of patriotism is that? When the country calls, you have to rush over, right? Refusal to drive out? Yes, go away you traitor. Personally, I hope I don’t see it at the National University either.
└ What is this idiot? Don’t you know that you are exempt from military service because you are a Jesus-type orphan?
└ Don’t expect too much from Jooka.
However, the broadcast staff, who saw that the comment window was on fire due to viewers who misunderstood the intention, attempted to extinguish the situation by urgently praising the Lord Jesus with white faces.
[… Yes! What if the opposing team had been Jesus Christ, the god of soccer, and not a human being? Unless you are Joo Jesus, it would be very difficult to break through goalkeeper Yoo Young-beom.]
[Of course! Also, the French national team’s attacks are not getting stronger. Isn’t it because there is Joo Jesus, the sharpest spear in the world?]
The PD in charge nodded his head, his expression softening as he watched the commentators take care of things.
‘Ha, this has been handled well.’
‘I almost got screwed.’
The caster and commentator, whose bowls almost flew away, wiped away their cold sweat and breathed a sigh of relief.
***
85 minutes of the second half. Joo Jesus, who entered the penalty box after exchanging a one-two pass with Joo Yoon, beat the French goalkeeper and succeeded in scoring.
[Oh! Thank God! Jesus, the owner of Santiago Bernabeu and a new soccer player, scores a goal!]
“Hala! Madrid! Hala Jesus!”
[Madridistas are happy as if Real Madrid scored a goal.]
As soon as Joo Jesus scored, he ran to the corner flag and celebrated.
5 minutes after that. Joo Jesus’ mid-range shot from outside the penalty box went into the corner of the goal, shaking France’s net once again.
‘… Hmm. It’s too early to stop Jesus.’
Yoo Young-beom, who was watching Jesus Joo’s score, reflected on his past of being conceited.
