Chapter 267 – Side Story 101: Leader World Cup -6
#
France is a soccer powerhouse.
There are countless soccer players representing France, including Zinedine Zidane, Kylian Mbappe, and Karim Benzema.
It was unusual that all the star players just mentioned were immigrants, but whatever. If anything, Korea should have had naturalized soccer players a long time ago.
Anyway, excluding me, if you compare the soccer skills of France and Korea, the difference is as big as France’s being the sun and Korea’s being the firefly.
‘Hmm. However, my skills have improved a lot recently, so I guess I should use a light bulb instead of a firefly.’
However, the Korean people had no doubt that the Taegeuk Warriors would defeat France and advance to the quarterfinals.
“Jesus! “Childhood alone!”
“The second coming of Jesus will bring great blessings!”
It was because I was on the national team with asymmetrical power.
And of course, I had the confidence to repay the support of those fans.
Not long after the equalizing goal was scored. Juche’s nuclear bomb began to move.
“Putain! Take it away!!”
In a corner kick situation in Korea, the ball hit by the French goalkeeper flows toward me.
Pwow-!
I hit the shot hard, ignoring the French defense’s struggle to hold on to the uniform, and the ball bounced right in front of the goalkeeper and hit the net.
“Putain! “Why didn’t that guy receive additional disciplinary action?”
“It’s obvious, it’s clear that FIFA took bribes from those damn Chinese people!”
Leaving behind the frustrated French players and the French spectators holding their heads in pain.
“This is the Lord Jesus, the nuclear bomb of Juche!”
He ran to the stands where the Korean fans were and spread his arms.
***
85 minutes of the second half.
South Korea 3:1 France.
[Just 10 years ago, no soccer fan would have thought that South Korea could overwhelm France! However, the appearance of this player completely changed the level of Korean soccer!]
[Yes. After the emergence of Jejus, Korea underwent a generational change centered around him, and succeeded in finishing second in the China World Cup and advancing to the semifinals in the Iberian Peninsula World Cup, marking the beginning of a golden generation. And if you look at the current roster of players on the Korean national team, most of them are players who grew up in orphanages sponsored by Jeju Island. The children of Jejus, whom we have supported since childhood, have now grown up and have our backs.]
[It’s a romantic story. At the moment I mentioned this, Junazareth succeeds in intercepting Elan’s pass! Come to think of it, this player is also known to have graduated from Jejus Orphanage.]
[He’s a great player. He showed outstanding performance at Colchester United last season, but he decided to stay at Colchester United, choosing to remain loyal to Jeju.]
[Junazareth intercepts the ball and passes it to Juyun, who is also from the orphanage, and Juyun looks at Go on the other side. Go catching the ball. And then the next cross! It seems a little long. Oh my gosh! Jejus, who suddenly springs out, gets to his feet first and succeeds in scoring!]
“Go Seok-jun, you son of a bitch, can’t you just raise a cross like that!!”
“… You put it in! “I just put it in!”
[Jejus shares the joy of scoring with GO who posted a cross! Korea beats France by 3 goals and secures victory!!]
[Ah! The crowd cheering for France senses defeat and begins to shed tears.]
***
Game over.
South Korea 4:1 France
[Narrowing gap between Europe and Asia? Korea succeeds in advancing to the quarterfinals! Overwhelm France!]
└ Yes, no. We were eliminated in the round of 16 in Japan. Danju is just a chewy chicken~
[After the game, French players rush to exchange their uniforms with Jesus Christ.]
[Lord Jesus, after the end of the game. Leave an interview ‘I am grateful to my teammates for giving their best and applaud the French national team for not giving up on the game and giving their best until the end.’]
└ Why is this guy being interviewed normally?
└ㄹㅇ;; I can’t get used to the normal interviews.
[France refuses to win or lose! A petition for a rematch is raised. ‘Jesus should have been punished! France was robbed of its rightful victory!’]
└ Hmm. Is this what Jesus was aiming for? Maybe it’s because I read this article after the interview with Brother Jesus, but it seems so petty?
└ ㄹㅇㅋㅋ Maybe it’s because of Jesus’ interview, but the European Chinese class stands out even more.
[Criticism pours in on players in France who asked the Lord Jesus to exchange their uniforms. ‘They don’t deserve to be in Les Bleus!’]
[Shocking true story) The tears of a French ‘beauty’ lead to terrorist comments from Koreans on Lord Jesus’ SNS.]
└ Fuck haha If you go to Jesus brother’s Instagram, there are a lot of traitors like Yeomisae haha
└ Please ㅠㅠ tell me those bastards are Chinese.
***
There are things in the world that don’t change.
The Earth revolves around the sun, Yuna’s heart is small, and I, the Lord Jesus, always win.
These do not change under any circumstances. That’s why we call this truth.
And in keeping with that truth. The Korean national team, for which I play, advanced to the quarterfinals by defeating France, a strong contender for the championship, with a score of 4-1.
[French people demanding a rematch put forward new arguments. ‘FIFA took kickbacks from the Chinese and did not discipline Jesus!’]
└ Why does China suddenly appear?
└ Mol? Ru.
[China is embarrassed by France’s claims! ‘Why on earth are we?’]
└Kkkk A European Jjanggae class that makes even the original Jjanggae flustered LOL
└ Jjanggae, Sojjanggae, European Jjanggae, Island Jjanggae ㅆㅂ The whole world is Jjanggae LOL
└ Isn’t this the Chinese dream? Haha,
└ It’s a European joke: “God created the land of France when he was in the best condition, and he created the French people when he was in the worst condition.” It seems like there isn’t a single word wrong haha
└ Then did Korea create the Korean Peninsula and Koreans when conditions were not good? LOL
└ Human beings were just created because God was in a bad condition haha
After South Korea’s victory, the French seemed to prove that they were not called European bastards for nothing. He made absurd claims and asked for a rematch, but he didn’t care.
Every day was too precious to waste time on stupid things like that.
“I never imagined I would think like this until I stopped regressing…”
It was only after the return was cut off that I once again realized the importance of forgotten time.
What. Sometimes I was afraid of growing old. But there was always someone next to me to be with. Therefore, I was able to keep only expectations for the future rather than fear.
[Hey! Jesus, how are you? Yuna Nunna!]
[Yuna, if you have a conscience, let’s leave out the mulberry and act sexy.]
I looked at Yuna saved on the smartphone screen. I smiled at the cute sight of Yuna pouting her lips after her mulberry was taken away.
“Whoa, I need to take a shower.”
After looking at family photos in the gallery for a while, I threw my smartphone on the bed and went to the bathroom to wash up.
Let the lukewarm water begin to wet your head. Suddenly, my longing for the World Cup in China came to mind.
[Jesus, you are still young! There is no need to risk your life for this World Cup!]
Really, at that time, I gritted my teeth and ran, enduring the pain.
Now that I think about it, I wonder if I should have run with all my might, but at the time I was so anxious and anxious that I couldn’t hold on.
If I were to retire from soccer due to an unexpected accident, I would never be able to see my precious family.
Even now, if I were to go back to that time, I wouldn’t hesitate to choose to play in the game.
Even if the injury got worse after that game, and he had to retire, it didn’t matter. Because of that decision at that time, we have the family we have today.
Anyway. The end of my national team career was approaching.
I haven’t told anyone yet, but I had decided in my mind that this World Cup in leader would be my last.
There is no special reason (injury) for retiring from the national team at an early age.
Just.
There was no reason for me to play for the Korean national team anymore.
I think Yohan will also choose the Spanish national team instead of the Korean national team.
I was very scared when they showed me an old military drama and told me that if I chose the Korean national team, I would have to go there too.
And if I had to find one reason why I wanted to retire, I also had to take care of my body. There was no choice if Yohan wanted to play as a starting player for Real Madrid until he was promoted to the first team.
Because long-distance flights are not good for the player’s life.
It would be right to retire now.
“Well, the competition comes first. Please, let’s win this time.”
After taking a shower, I lay down on the bed. Just when I was getting a little bored.
Just then, I got a call from Go Seok-jun.
And the conversation I had with Ko Seok-jun in the locker room during the World Cup in China instantly came to mind.
– … Can I just go to the finals?
Now that I think about it, Ko Seok-Jun set the mood in the locker room by using his voice as he could, and in reality, it didn’t help at all.
“Useless guy.”
-Why does this guy start freaking out as soon as he answers the phone?
***
The next day.
[Old men never die! Luis Garcia advances Spain to the quarterfinals with a fantastic mid-range shot! But in an interview, you sniped at the Lord Jesus? ‘Jejus is just my assist shuttle!’ Controversy!]
The Lord Jesus looked dumbfounded as he watched Luis Garcia’s interview.
“Why is this guy acting so crazy all of a sudden?”
It was great mirror therapy.
