Chapter 265 – Side Story 99: Leader World Cup -4
***
I threw away a golden opportunity thinking it was offside.
Really. It’s not that bad.
I had no choice but to receive a warning.
If this had been a league game, I would have just received a light verbal warning and moved on.
“Jesus, it’s a warning.”
“It was a mistake, but I admit it. Since it is a competition, the rules must be followed.”
Perhaps because the World Cup is watched all over the world, referees’ decisions have also become stricter.
“… The original rules and regulations are meant to be followed.”
Hmm. Is the referee of this game simply a principled person? You might be a little tired.
Anyway, let me get a yellow card from the referee.
“Kaaah! Jesus! “Come here right now!”
Director James Cook’s painful screams echoed throughout the ground.
I approached the director who had become violent to calm him down.
“Human, what’s going on?”
Just in case, director James Cook couldn’t control his anger and attacked him, he clenched his fist to calm him down in one go.
Director James Cook glanced at my fist, sighed, and whispered softly.
“Whoa… Jejus. Just get one more card! “You are a player who should never have yellow trouble!”
Hehe”
I burst out laughing at the director’s words.
I was willing to actively carry out such instructions.
“Right that.”
I smiled mischievously and playfully saluted.
“But not now. Exited in the second half… Jejus? Are you listening to me?”
Hehe, how do I get sent off for it to be known that I was sent off well?”
“… “You’re not listening.”
It was the moment when the toy called Foul Free Roll was given to my hands.
***
Meanwhile, at that time.
Real Madrid coach Valverde was watching the match between South Korea and Colombia in his office.
“Laughs. “If he’s not a player on my team, he’s a really pleasant guy.”
Valverde watched the journey of the Lord Jesus while eating popcorn.
[Korea national team coach James Cook calls Jejus and gives instructions.]
“Huh?”
He experienced the strange phenomenon of shaking his body during the scene where director James Cook called the Lord Jesus and gave instructions.
The cold and cool sensation stimulated his sixth sense.
“No way… “You’re not ordering card laundering, are you?”
Valverde, who coached the Lord Jesus longer than anyone else, instinctively understood what was happening on the pitch.
-Acting Director Felipe, order Jejus to launder the cards.
– Jesus reigns!!
– [Jesus breaks the record for the shortest time to be sent off. ‘As expected, Real Madrid needs Valverde.’]
Memories of the past came back to life in his mind. It was a memory of the day when the Lord Jesus, who had been instructed to wash cards, stepped on his opponent’s foot at the start of the game and was ejected.
“Oh no!! What lies ahead is hell!”
Valverde had a seizure when the image of the Lord Jesus was shown on the broadcast camera.
It was a minor and common Jejus PTSD.
***
I was lost in thought after being ordered by director James Cook to launder cards.
‘How can I make a spectacular exit suitable for the main character?’
Of course, even in my moments of agony, the game continued. Jooyun’s pass passed in front of me at high speed, and I watched Jooyun’s pass outside the touch line.
“Brother! Why don’t you run!”
Joo-yoon strongly reprimanded me for not even trying to catch the pass, and I explained to the excited Joo-yoon with a benevolent expression why I did not receive the ball.
“Well, it’s hot when you run? “Is this common sense?”
“What the fuck… !”
While Jooyun exclaimed in exasperation at my logical order and brilliant intelligence, the game resumed with Colombia’s throw-in.
“Hey, Jooyun! Come down quickly! What are you doing there?”
“…”
“Uh-huh! Go to defense quickly!”
Pass Shuttle Unit 3 looked at me with eyes full of envy, then went down to defend.
“Keep playing soccer for at least 200 more years, kid.”
I lightly clicked my tongue towards Jooyun. A young guy who doesn’t even know how to play jjambap doesn’t want to play defense. I guess I’ll have to get the discipline of the Korean national team back sooner or later.
What. That was after the game ended.
Now, what matters is how you receive warnings.
I continued to worry about how I could receive a yellow card.
“Whew. It’s easy to get a red card, but it’s hard to get a warning. Is this the difficulty of moderation?”
However, a novel foul play full of romance never occurred to me.
“… “Can’t we just act as a delay?”
Then, I heard Go Seok-jun’s answer in my ears, saying that there was not even a hint of romance.
“Ugh… “That person is also a member of the national team.”
“… “Why are you suddenly acting like this?”
“It’s noisy. You romanticless bastard. “You go and play defense too.”
I had a lot to retort to Go Seok-jun, but I just sighed and kicked him out.
Romance is something you realize, not something you learn. I just hope that one day, Go Seok-jun realizes what romance is.
Anyway, while I was thinking about romanticizing the warning, South Korea succeeded in blocking Colombia’s offensive.
South Korea’s counterattack continues.
“Go Seok-jun-!! Run!”
Joonazareth’s long pass flies toward Go Seok-jun, who is infiltrating.
Colombian and Korean players passed by me at high speed.
And after the players.
The referee also started running next to me.
When I saw that sight, I instinctively stretched out my legs.
Chin-!
“A Billion-!”
There was no particular reason.
I just wanted to stretch my legs.
Degurr-
And the moment the referee got caught in his leg and rolled on the ground three times. Laughter burst out.
Hehe! “It looks like a slug rolling on the ground!”
The referee also came towards me with a warm smile as I burst into laughter and joked.
‘Oh, I guess the referee accepted my prank?’
I got a little excited when I saw the referee smiling. It was unfortunate that the foul freeroll ended like this.
“You, get out!”
But the referee betrayed my expectations. He couldn’t accept my prank. With a face red from anger, he handed me a yellow card and then immediately handed me a red card.
‘Huh… Even the referee is not romantic.’
It is truly a bleak world.
***
[Ah… In the end, Joo Jesus is sent off due to accumulated warnings. To me, it looked like he accidentally got his leg caught while trying to avoid the referee. The referee’s judgment is a bit disappointing.]
└ … ? What. Does it look like I’m the only one who openly bridged the gap?
└ It looks like I’ve crossed a bridge too haha
└ Ah haha, it’s the World Cup so let’s play the shield first haha
[Yes. It was a slightly disappointing decision, but Joo Jesus humbly accepted the referee’s decision! He leaves the stadium, cheering the crowd. As always, he is a very cheerful and bright player.]
[Ah! As soon as Joo Jesus leaves, there will be a replacement for Korea. Ko Seok-jun comes to the bench, and center back Joo Peter is put on the pitch. And Jubaul moves to striker position. It will be a 5-3-1 formation.]
[Yes. Indeed, will South Korea be able to maintain the 3-point lead until the last moment? The game will resume with a drop ball.]
└ What is it? Why is it a drop ball?
└ The game was stopped because the referee was hit with a foul and rolled on the ground. LOL
└ Ah haha, what are you doing as a referee? You are not qualified haha
└ ㄹㅇㅋㅋ You can’t even avoid hanging your leg lol
.
.
.
Game over.
South Korea 4:0 Colombia.
[South Korea overwhelms Colombia with a 4-0 win.]
[At the end of the game, Jubaul scores an additional goal from a corner kick. ‘It’s like a dream.’]
[Jumateo showing off a super save. ‘I am learning a lot from senior Yoo Young-beom.’]
[Kim Dong-jun wearing the captain’s armband immediately after Jesus Christ’s exit. Netizens express their embarrassment. ‘Was the third captain Kim Dong-jun?’]
└ Honestly, the 3rd captain has no presence.
└ The vice-captain doesn’t really have any presence, but since the captain of our national team is the captain, haha;;
└ㄹㅇㅋㅋ There are more days when the vice-captain wears the captain’s armband than when the captain wears it. LOL
[Joo Jesus, who caught the ball and received a warning, responded to a reporter’s question as to why he did that, saying, ‘I thought it was offside.’]
[The Lord Jesus hooks the referee’s leg. ‘Hanging a bridge is an act filled with memories and romance.’]
[Joo Jesus, who leaves the ground due to accumulated warnings, explains the card laundering controversy. ‘I just didn’t like the yellow card because it seemed racist. And if they had tried to launder the card, they would have reliably delayed it.’]
[FIFA declares that there will be no further disciplinary action against the Lord Jesus!]
[Director James Cook laughs at the interview of the Lord Jesus. ‘As the coach of the Korean national team, every day is something new. It is a place where you can have truly diverse experiences.’]
[Real Madrid coach Valverde leaves advice to South Korea national team coach James Cook. ‘It’s easier to give up.’]
[Former head coach of the Korean national team, Utilike, gives advice to coach James Cook. ‘Before the game starts, pray that Jeju doesn’t do anything wrong, and after the game, be thankful that they got away without being disciplined.’]
[Serbia defeated Switzerland 2-0! Korea succeeds in advancing to the round of 16 for 3 consecutive competitions!]
[Serbia’s captain Vladimir Rajovic sighs at the news of Jesus’ departure. ‘Our plan was ruined. But it doesn’t matter. I will do my best to win the game against Colombia.’]
