Chapter 282 – Easier Than Lying Down and Eating Rice Cakes (2)

282

A press conference held the day before the quarterfinals.
The press conference room, which drew attention to the extent that it might seem like this even if it advanced to the final, was unusually crowded with European reporters even though it was a match between Korea and Japan.

“Following the Sydney Olympics four years ago, the match between Korea and Japan took place in the quarterfinals of the Olympics again. What do you expect the result to be?”
“What is the key point of this game? Any tactical changes?”

However, only a few of the reporters in attendance, only a handful of Korean and Japanese reporters, paid attention to the match.

Most European reporters were interested in one player, not the quarterfinals.

“Minjoon Hong!! 10 goals in 3 games, congratulations on the success of scoring 2 digits. How many more goals do you think you can score?”
“I know that you have already solved the military service problem, so what is the reason for participating in the Olympics again?”
“Please say something about the suspicion that there was pressure from the club to participate in the tournament!”

It was Hong Min-jun, the player with the highest name value participating in the Olympics.

Even if he doesn’t enjoy interviews, when an interview opportunity comes, unlike his usual appearance of actively communicating, today’s Hong Min-joon was heavy.

“Well.”
“Mmm.”
“Yes.”
“No.”

Even short answers that can be considered rude are offset by a low, serious, husky voice that even feels sexy.

‘Shit. Bewitched by the face of this guy, that guy, that Korean guy… I don’t like it anyway.’

Asahi Shimbun reporter Yamamoto’s lips twisted viciously.

This place is obviously a press conference held ahead of the quarterfinal match between Korea and Japan, but no one is interested in the match, and everyone is watching only Hong Min-jun!

“I don’t know who the main character is at this point.”
“Of course it’s Hong Sang!”
‘Cheek Show… ! Momo to Josenjing… !!’

Yamamoto’s anger boiled over at the stupid answer of assistant shooter Momo, who looked at Hong Min-joon, who was constantly ‘um, um’, with an ecstatic expression.

“That bastard’s Hong Min-jun, Hong Min-jun! We are Samurai Blue. This time, we must beat Korea!”
“Yes, yes, okay, don’t get excited, senior.”
“Chit… !”

Yamamoto, who had been chewing on his lips, quickly asked a question to Sakashi Otsuni, the captain of the Japanese national team, while the question about Hong Min-jun was in a lull.

“Asahi’s Yamamoto Death! I have a question for Sakashi-san!”
“Hey!”

Well, it’s a feat worthy of a captain.
Yamamoto raised his voice in response to the cheerful answer that naturally made him confused.

“Four years ago at the Sydney Olympics, we met and lost to Korea in the quarterfinals. This time, we met Korea in the quarterfinals of the Olympics, and Hong Min-joon, who played a decisive role in defeating Japan at the time, also participated.

The black-haired Sakashi’s jaw muscles stood out.
Sakashi bit her molars and finally opened her mouth.

“I made a lot of preparations with the determination to win, but I can’t reveal it here because of the strategy. Sorry.”
“No, it’s fine. I understand. As expected, the Japanese national team prepared detailed tactical—”
“However.”

After interrupting Yamamoto, Sakashi declared with a determined expression.

“The most important thing of all is— an unbreakable heart!!”

The gloomy declaration resonates in Yamamoto’s heart.
Big… What a manly spirit! Indeed, it is the spirit of a proud Japanese boy!

At the sight of the triumphant Yamamoto, Hong Min-joon, his eyebrows flinching, enters.

‘How is it, Josenjing!! An unbreakable heart… This is the spirit of our Yamato people!!’

And it broke straight away.

* * *

A press conference ahead of the quarter-final match against Japan, which is not on the mind.
Out of Anjung Reporters are unusual, perhaps because they are so anxious about the game against Japan.

However, as the proud captain of the Korean national soccer team, frivolity is prohibited.
A leader must be strong,

“Well.”

Unlike the raucous reporters, he only answered seriously as he claimed.

In the meantime, a journalist who looks very Japanese raises his hand in a frivolous gesture and asks a question in a frivolous voice.

‘Crazy… No, how could the person’s name be Blowjob… ?’

As if the black-haired potato captain of the Japanese national team imitated me, he imitated a serious expression, but it was still not as good as the original.

The difference between a masterpiece and a masterpiece is in the details, and I am no match for me who practiced for hours in front of a mirror to become a heavy leader.

It’s different from the face in the first place, starting with the face.
It’s like having eyes, a nose, and a mouth doesn’t make a person the same.

As I nodded my head, the last words of the potato stone Sakkasi hit my brain.

‘What… !?’

The important thing is to have an unbreakable heart.

‘The potato boy… He says pretty cool things.’

And on match day

He left alone, leaving only a wonderful quote.

It’s too easy.

『Hong Min-jun 4 goals explosion!!』
『Mt. Fuji collapses』
『Faded Shaved Fighting Spirit』
『14 goals in 4 matches, the Olympic stage was too small for Hong Min-jun!』

This concludes the discussion of ‘Who is the greatest Asian athlete of all time?’ .
It won’t turn over even after 30 years.
The top scorer in the Premier League is a level that would be considered unrealistic even in cartoons.

Los ・ brancos | 57/6
I think he is the best striker in the world right now.
You’re scoring too many ridiculous super goals.

Nic***** | 5740/19
Hong has become arguably the greatest Asian player ever. He has a good personality and I think he will become a more loved player. He has the impression that he is not yet at his peak. Now you just have to watch your mouth

The match between Korea and Japan in the quarterfinals, which was highly anticipated in East Asia, ended in vain.

The determination of the Japanese players, who appeared with shaved heads and shaved heads, to wash away the pain of seniors who were eliminated in the quarterfinals of the Olympics four years ago was astonishing, but… A law that does not come true only with worldly resolutions.

The Japanese national team, which had been boosting their momentum in the early stages with their fiery shaved head fighting spirit, failed to stop Hong Min-joon’s 60m solo dribble breakthrough in the 17th minute and gave up the opening goal.

The Japanese national team was trying hard to prevent Hong Min-jun from catching the ball, but they couldn’t stop him from going down to his own camp and receiving the ball.

And what kind of countermeasures are there when he starts dribbling from his own camp and scores a goal by penetrating 60m alone to the opponent’s penalty box?

Nevertheless, the Japanese national team desperately resisted and showed an ‘unbreakable heart’, but even that was broken after a multi-goal.

After the game, the uniforms of the Japanese national team players rolled over the ground countless times and became a disgrace, but what was more tattered than that was the heart that had already been broken.

The Japanese national team players, who were crushed and turned to powder while trying to break them, burst into tears with their ponytails planted on the ground, and even the Korean national team players are moved to tears by those ‘man’s tears’—

“What. Are you planting potatoes in the ground?”

Only Hong Min-joon was enjoying victory alone.

The ensuing semifinal against Italy also ended with Korea’s easy victory.

Although they defeated Spain, a candidate for the championship, after a fierce battle, even that was not enough to stop Hong Min-joon.

Even the defense team of the adult national team, which is composed of only the best players in Italy, couldn’t stop them properly, let alone the defense team of the under-23 national team.

The Italian players, who entered the game with a solid defense as the reputation of ‘Catenaccio’, suffered a humiliating defeat with an assist hat-trick after giving up space while being overly aware of Hong Min-jun’s dribbling.

In a post-game interview, when a reporter congratulated the team for reaching the final, and asked, “How do you feel after finishing a difficult game against Italy?”

『Hong Min-joon, Italy’s ‘a piece of cake’ controversy!』
“Arrogance or confidence? The words of a young genius

It became a hot topic for a while.
However-

“Have you ever eaten rice cake while lying down? I’ve eaten. It’s not easy. It is difficult. When I was young, I almost choked to death while lying down and eating rice cakes.”

… On the excuse of Iran,

“Well, if it’s Hong Min-joon, it’s not strange to say that.”
“Obviously a great player, but sometimes… There are times when things get a little weird.”
“I understand because he’s a quirky guy.”
“If Hong showed the performance against Italy, wouldn’t it be wrong to say ‘a piece of cake’?”
“Be mindful, friends. That the usual Hong and the Hong during the interview are different people.”
“Don’t forget that ‘2DBD (Deep Dark Black Dragon)’ is sealed in Hong’s snout~!”

Surprisingly, people nodded and quickly calmed down.

And now there is only one match left.
It was only the finals.
