Chapter 235 – Side Story 69: Real Madrid, Emperor of Europe -4
***
[Ugh-! Blocked again! Goalkeeper Yoo Young-beom!! It’s crazy! This is already the 7th save!!]
After Joo Jesus’ shooting bombardment, Yoo Young-beom’s runaway began. Yoo Young-beom saved all of Real Madrid’s shots as if he were possessed by a god.
[Goalkeeper Yoo Young-beom blocks Luis Garcia’s shot and roars!]
Yoo Young-beom, who saved Luis Garcia’s shot toward the corner of the goal, muttered to himself with a satisfied smile.
“Hehe-. Pan-Reluiah coming.”
After hearing Yoo Young-beom muttering to himself, Joo Jesus looked at Yoo Young-beom with sad eyes.
“Hmm. No matter how I look at it, it looks broken.”
The Lord Jesus recalled the events that had occurred since his first meeting with Yoo Young-beom.
“Well, I’ve been using it for a long time…”
Then he slowly nodded, as if he understood.
“Thank you! Going Yoo Young-beom! Be reborn as Thousands Yoo Young-beom!”
In the end, Joo Jesus decided to let go of Yoo Young-beom, who had been guarding the national team’s goal.
[Real Madrid! They’re pushing FC Barcelona hard! Now the trend has completely shifted towards Real Madrid!]
While Joo Jesus was deciding on Yoo Young-beom’s disposition, Real Madrid’s attack continued once again.
“Lewis, stop being a jerk and give the ball to Jesus!”
Valverde’s harsh words poured out toward Luis Garcia, who caught the ball and displayed his individual skills around the penalty box.
[Luis Garcia! Shoot after avoiding Sanchez!!]
When Luis Garcia heard Valverde’s voice, he showed courage, and Luis Garcia’s shot went straight at the goalkeeper.
“Pasha-!!”
Yoo Young-beom succeeded in making a save by kicking Luis Garcia’s shot straight in front.
[Oooooh-!! What have we just seen!? Luis Garcia’s shot is kicked away!]
In addition, the ball cleared by Yoo Young-beom was destined for an FC Barcelona player, leading to a counterattack.
[The ball cleared by Yoo Young-beom goes to Manuel! Manuel hits and runs! It’s fast! It’s fast! Real Madrid players urgently return, but the gap cannot be narrowed! Manuel has a highway in front of him! It was completely opened!]
Manuel Francisco dos Santos entered the Real Madrid penalty box before we knew it.
[Are you hitting me!?]
The only thing that could stop Manuel was Ter Neuer, who was past his prime.
A tense moment.
[Manuel Shuuuuut-!!]
After checking Ter Neuer’s location, Manuel calmly shot.
[Ah-!! It hit the side net! Manuel is sad! On the other hand, Real Madrid breathes a sigh of relief.]
But maybe it was because I was thinking too much.
Manuel’s shot missed Real Madrid’s goal.
[You have to put in a ball like that! FC Barcelona fails to score in a crucial situation. Oh, what a pity! The score was almost 90%. What if I had been a little more calm? It makes me think.]
Although it unfortunately did not result in a goal, it was a valuable counterattack that revived the sinking atmosphere of FC Barcelona…
“Hmm? “Has Youngbeom grown rather than broken?”
It almost happened.
If only the Lord Jesus had just watched.
“I guess it’s because it’s domestically produced, so it’s durable.”
***
Just before the end of the first half.
Joo Jesus, who was enjoying the brief entertainment of Yoo Young-beom’s training, started aiming to score again.
“The way of Jesus!”
The Lord Jesus crushed everything that stood in his way. He had neither a crown of thorns nor a cross to bear.
[Lord Jesus! Strong! Strong! FC Barcelona can’t stop the Lord Jesus from running! The front of Joo Jesus was blocked like the middle of downtown Seoul? However, Joo Jesus uses his physical strength to easily push this aside.]
It was just full of praise from believers.
“God of Madrid, do not bear the crown of thorns and the cross!!”
Real Madrid fans began to stand up from their seats as Joo Jesus made a refreshing breakthrough.
[The Lord Jesus enters the penalty box! Do you hit me? Are you hitting me?! No! I folded it. FC Barcelona’s center back disappears in front of the Lord Jesus in an instant! And shoot!! Gooooo!! I’m in! Real Madrid ahead 4:1!! Jesus Joo is breaking his Champions League final scoring record!]
The shot flew quickly from Joo Jesus’ toes and pierced FC Barcelona’s net.
“Just stay with us!”
The madridistas praised God.
[Oh, I got hit while I was gaining momentum? If this happens, you will inevitably be mentally shaken. FC Barcelona players must be thinking to Joo Jesus, “What a great soccer player!]
[That’s right! The hero of the key goal that broke the morale of FC Barcelona, the pride of Korea, the captain of Korea, is Joo Jesus, the best sports star in history produced by Korea!!]
└ One guy gave me a kick. Is one guy a jupa?
└ ㄴㄴ Just Kure vs Madrid Time.
└ ㅆㅂㅋ Why is the broadcaster’s combination like this?
└ In my opinion, the broadcasting company is a disaster ㅇㅈ?
└ ㅆㅇㅈ ㅈㄴThis is evil haha
***
The first half ended with Jesus Joo’s fourth goal.
“Vamos-!! It’s not long until we win our 5th consecutive Champions League title! Concentrate until the end!!”
“Hala Madrid!!”
In contrast to the friendly atmosphere of Real Madrid’s locker room, FC Barcelona’s locker room had the atmosphere of a funeral home.
“…”
In that atmosphere.
“Sorry. “My abilities were not enough.”
Coach Jose Sierra apologized to the players.
“I will take full responsibility. I will take the blame too. So, do your best to resist until the end.”
Coach Jose Sierra supported FC Barcelona until the end, when they were going through a difficult time after being embroiled in various issues following the transfer of Joo Jesus.
He comforted, trusted, and guided the La Masia players, who were shrinking amid media criticism of the team as a plague farm, on the right path.
“Perhaps this may be my last request as a director. Don’t let them disgrace the club we love. I hope that the fans who came to support us will do their best until the end.”
The FC Barcelona players strengthened their fighting spirit as coach Jose Sierra bowed his head and apologized. I will give Real Madrid a blow no matter what.
“This defeat is my defeat, not yours.”
The second half of the Champions League final began with FC Barcelona renewing their desperate resolve.
***
As the second half began, the two teams were replaced and there was a change in tactics.
Real Madrid removed Leo Lopez, who looked heavy, and brought in Roberto Fabianski.
With the introduction of Roberto Fabianski, Real Madrid adopted a 4-4-2 formation.
On the other hand, FC Barcelona, who had nowhere to retreat, replaced their defenders and brought in attackers. FC Barcelona did not give up the game. Except for the two center backs, everyone was in Real Madrid’s camp.
The Lord Jesus looked at that and nodded his head.
FC Barcelona’s formation was a disgrace to itself.
It seemed like the time had come to bring discipline to FC Barcelona.
60 minutes in the second half. At the start of the second half, FC Barcelona, who were continuing their offensive, made a mistake.
“Damn it-!!”
Luis Garcia, whose physical prowess declined, and his skills regressed compared to his prime, but who began to understand soccer based on experience, intercepted Sergio Fabregas’ pass.
“Jesus-!!”
Luis Garcia, who blocked the ball, quickly sent a roving pass forward without even checking Jesus Joo’s location.
Since Luis Garcia was with the Lord Jesus since his debut season at FC Barcelona, he was confident that he understood the Lord Jesus better than anyone else.
On the other hand, as soon as the Lord Jesus saw Luis Garcia blocking the ball, he thought the ball was going to go to him.
Because the Lord Jesus understood Luis Garcia?
That wasn’t it.
Just.
A child is alone in heaven and earth.
He was the Lord Jesus of the mindset that since he was the best, all soccer players should adapt to him.
The Lord Jesus did not understand Luis Garcia, but he trusted him to somehow send a pass to where he was.
Luis Garcia repaid the trust of the Lord Jesus. Luis Garcia’s pass to the Lord Jesus was connected.
Jesus Joo receives the ball and runs towards FC Barcelona’s goal.
“Jesus! Jesus! El ángel del Madrid (Angel of Madrid, nickname for Raúl) that we lost”
The Real Madrid crowd raised their voices and sang God’s brilliant achievements.
“He returned to his hometown and became a god!”
Jesus Joo heard the crowd’s cheering and broke through by launching the ball over the head of Benjamin Costa, who was blocking his path.
“Madrid! Madrid! Hala Madrid!!”
Jesus Joo roughly slapped Benjamin Costa’s arm as he grabbed his uniform and entered the penalty box.
“Sorry in advance if I get hit!”
Joo Jesus hit a strong shot below Yoo Young-beom’s testicles. Yoo Young-beom tried his best to block Joo Jesus’ shooting, but Joo Jesus’ shooting was too fast.
The ball passed between Yoo Young-beom’s legs and shook FC Barcelona’s goal.
[Goooool-!! This is Jesus Joo, who scores 5 goals in the first ever El Clásico in the Champions League final!!]
And starting from that goal, FC Barcelona collapsed.
***
65 minutes of the second half. An accident occurred.
It was the moment when Lord Jesus, who scored after receiving a pass from Roberto Fabianski, ran to the corner flag where his family was located and celebrated.
“God-!!”
When the fifth consecutive Champions League title was virtually confirmed, excited spectators stormed the ground and kissed Jesus Christ.
“This. Fuck!”
Jesus, who lost his senses due to a surprise kiss from a hairy male fan, turned the crowd’s jaws away.
