Chapter 268 – Side Story 102: Leader World Cup -7
***
With Luis Garcia’s sudden provocation behind us, Korea’s opponent for the quarterfinals has been decided.
For a moment, I wondered if the next opponent of the Korean national team would be Spain due to Luis Garcia’s provocative interview.
Surprisingly, it wasn’t.
The national team’s quarterfinal opponent was Italy.
[Korea’s opponent in the quarterfinals is the Azzurri!]
└ I’ve always wondered why Korea appears as Italy’s rival on FM?
└ These bastards, their hearts are just the size of Song Yuna’s breasts, and they still remember the defeat they suffered in the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup in their hearts, so haha
This nation, which called itself a descendant of Rome during World War II, was truly a nation devoted to soccer.
How serious are they about soccer?
They were so serious about soccer that they had a heartbreaking tradition of expelling players from the team that won against them in the World Cup for scandalous offenses.
In fact, in 2002, a player from the Korean national team was kicked out of the club after scoring a golden goal against Italy.
“Sniff.”
Uh? Italy smells something familiar.
They miss the glory of the past and are proud of having ‘been’ the center of culture, but in reality, their entire culture has been destroyed or plundered and nothing remains…
“… China?”
Yes.
Italy had a strong smell of China.
‘Did Italy also experience the Cultural Revolution?’
Just as China, which was the center of Northeast Asian culture, burned down its own culture during the Cultural Revolution and turned into a bastard, perhaps Italy also burned down Rome’s culture through the Cultural Revolution.
What. Because it’s not my country’s history. Let’s pay attention.
Anyway.
“Wow, Italy has reached the quarterfinals.”
I smiled with satisfaction at the match against Italy in the quarterfinals.
If history had been correct, Italy would have failed to advance to the World Cup finals.
[The center of catenaccio (barred defense)! Paulo Nesta leads the team to victory with a scoreless game!]
Italy, which reproduced a solid defense centered around center back Paulo Nesta, who is active in Atletico Madrid, successfully advanced to the World Cup and advanced to the quarterfinals.
‘Wake up! Nesta! ‘You are the pride of Italy!’
It was a moment when I felt rewarded for all my hard work upgrading.
One might wonder why it strengthened the strength of other national teams.
“Well, it’s Italy, right?”
Italy, which had advanced to the World Cup finals in the last round on one hand, was not a team as strong as France.
Italy for the Korean national team that defeated France? That’s complete bullshit.
Italians often compare soccer to war, but it only makes them laugh.
That’s right.
“You guys are so fucking bad at war.”
Italy is known around the world for not being able to go to war.
A war unfolding on the ground with Italy? I wasn’t afraid at all.

[Title: How did South Korea become stronger?]
Last round of 16 match between Korea and France.
South Korea won a resounding 4:1 against France.
In this game, Korea unilaterally overwhelmed France, a soccer powerhouse, not only in terms of score but also in terms of content.
Goalkeeper Jo Mateo, who played as a starter, made such excellent saves that it did not feel like it was his first World Cup.
The strong back four line (Kim Dong-jun, Hong Do-yoon, Joo Moses, and Joo Adam) also did a good job blocking the French offensive line. In addition, he was involved in the build-up and was involved in Korea’s great victory.
Joo Yun – Joo Nazareth – Joo Jacob’s midfield constantly harassed the French midfielders.
Go Seok-jun – Joo Jesus – Joo Paul’s offensive line did not miss the opportunity and shook France’s net.
If you compare it to the time in 2038 when the national team, which was considered to be the valley generation, failed in the group stage, you can see that the Korean national team has changed dramatically.
Of course, despite all the changes, the weaknesses of the Korean national team are clear. The weakness is that there is a large difference in skill between the starters and substitutes.
However, the BEST 11 has become so strong that even if it matches up with countries famous for being soccer powers, it is impossible to guarantee victory or defeat.
So, where did the rapid development of the Korean national team begin?
We already know the answer.
The protagonist is a boy who was only 17 years old at the time of the 2038 World Cup.
(Photo of the Lord Jesus with a youthful appearance. Jpg)
At that time, 17-year-old Jesus Joo was the youngest member of the national team.
Nowadays, it may be natural for a soccer player from Goa to join the national team, but at the time, the public’s negative public opinion was quite strong.
In the end, due to negative public opinion, Jesus Joo was unable to participate in the first and second rounds of the World Cup.
(It is just a rumor, but there is also a rumor that the president at the time (who was arrested) exerted pressure, asking if he should select that player when public opinion was not favorable.)
Not only that, Joo Jesus, who was the youngest member of the national team at the time, was being ostracized by the national team. (It was recently revealed that the public was shocked.)
Fortunately, due to the Lord Jesus’ overwhelming physical strength, there were no acts of violence or other harsh acts, but it is believed that the psychological shock that the 17-year-old boy at the time must have suffered was significant.
(Perhaps the shock at this time causes him to act out his antics in the stadium?)
If it were an ordinary person, it might have been broken.
National criticism and bullying from within the national team on a 17-year-old boy. I didn’t have the confidence to endure that situation.
But our hero overcame all the hardships.
Joo Jesus, who is now a criminal and has been arrested, took the opportunity to start as a starter in the third round match against Brazil at the discretion of coach Heo Seong-tae.
He proved his talent to the world through a match against Brazil, and through this, he became a promising prospect attracting attention around the world and successfully signed a contract with FC Barcelona.
But unfortunately, Jesus’ association with FC Barcelona did not last long.
(FC Barcelona’s problems at the time were widely known, so we will skip them.)
For various reasons, Jesus Joo eventually chooses to transfer to Real Madrid.
Afterward, with the help of Real Madrid, Joo Jesus established the Joo Jesus Soccer Academy (abolished by Jinsang’s parents and changed to Joo Jesus Orphanage) in Korea, laying the foundation for Korean soccer.
It laid the foundation for the current Korean national team.
The Lord Jesus accomplished something that no one else could. We are now living in the era of the Lord Jesus.
〈This review was written after receiving services from Jejus Documentary. 〉
└ Fuck hahaI thought it was a column, but was it a documentary review haha
└ Wow, I didn’t know Jesus was bullied.
└ Everyone knows, right? Haha, there is a reason why people get bullied.
└ It’s just because these idiots are from orphans and are better at soccer than they are. He instigated the bullying out of jealousy and jealousy.
└ So Kim Min-jun, who was the national team captain at the time, was also part of the group?
└ ㄴㄴ It is said that he was the only one who took good care of his sobriety. I heard they still contact me sometimes.
└ But why didn’t you help me?
└ I heard that it was difficult to say anything because it was like a silver lining. It’s hard to get along with a grown adult without fighting. And the national team atmosphere at the time was crazy…
└ Brother Jesus, is this a true story about the difficulty of life? ㅠㅠ ㄹㅇ Just listening to it is too much.
└ ㅠㅠ You must be happy from now on, Brother Jesus ㅠㅠ

Maybe it’s because it’s World Cup season.
Recently, the number of viewers for the documentary I released strangely exploded. Supportive comments began to appear on social media.
“… What? Are you asking me to travel?”
While I was feeling uncomfortable due to the public’s goodwill for unknown reasons, the Korean national team accelerated preparations for the quarterfinals against Italy.
“Whatever happens, don’t get caught up in them!”
Italy’s representative playing style could be seen by looking at Materazzi, who led Zidane to a headbutt.
Rough play using elbows is basic, provocations (padding) to force the opponent to leave the game somehow, card guidance, and intentionally causing injury, etc. If it is really for the sake of victory, the player will do whatever he can to win.
“… Is it really China?”
Fortunately, I don’t use it much after the elbow price was changed to direct exit.
Still, there was no change in the fact that their play was rough.
“Kids, if you think there’s something unusual about the look in these kids’ eyes, call me. “I solve it.”
As the Korean national team had thin player depth and injuries were fatal, I asked the players to be careful of injuries.
Pwow-!
My angry request was over, and the national team’s full-scale training began.
“Hey! Seokjun, is that a cross? Is that a cross?!”
I lay down on the sunbed I brought from the hotel and watched the players training and gave them advice.
Teok-!
“Youngbeom! Nice save! “Your condition has improved a lot?”
Yoo Young-beom, who recovered from his injury, is starting to improve his condition.
Teok-!
“Good! Matthew, you do it well! “Why didn’t you do that all this time?”
While Jo Mateo is trying not to be pushed out as the national team’s starting goalkeeper.
The quarterfinal match against Italy is approaching.
