Chapter 332 – One Last Step (5)
332
Senior Yoon Hyuk is a soccer genius that I acknowledge.
Although the visible individual skills are not genius, the invisible part, the so-called soccer intelligence category, is truly world-class.
I’ve only played on the same team for about a year, and that was only during my college days, but that alone is enough to know the excellence of senior Yoon Hyuk.
In particular, isn’t his tactical discernment better than the director’s at the time… To such an extent that he often used to think of doing it.
On top of that, despite his not-so-excellent talent in terms of technical skill, he was able to raise his skills to a level that was acceptable through painstaking efforts.
Of course, it is still technically insufficient.
To the extent that he is technically inferior to the Japanese national team players he is facing right now.
However, where is soccer made only with technology?
Apart from his genius soccer intelligence, senior Yoon Hyuk had another sufficiently outstanding talent— that physical condition he was blessed with.
“To… Eh!? Sonna!?”
In an attempt to become a Japanese player who violently charged senior Yoon Hyuk who caught the ball, he bounced off and fell to the ground.
Thinking of running after seeing that senior’s rice cake stick… Are you stupid
No Is it because I’m out of my mind enough to run after seeing that rice cake stand, or even competing with that rice cake stand, or in a state of being driven into a pinch?
It is not for nothing that seniors who lack skills are considered key resources in the Bundesliga, which is considered the best in Europe, and among them, Dortmund, which is the top club.
As much as he knows that he is weak against pressure, he has strengthened his strengths to replace the parts that are not filled with constant efforts and efforts, so he has grown into a core even in a big club called Dortmund.
“Come back the rider! Senior Junsu, spread it to the side! Hey, you narrow it in!”
Senior Yoon Hyuk, ignoring the Japanese player who had fallen out after trying to charge like a fly, screamed frantically all over the ground.
Players move busily at the call of their seniors.
And,
“What are you doing. Run!”
As soon as he reflexively started sprinting at the cry of the senior he met eyes with, the ball magically landed in front of his feet.
I am in awe of the magical pass with reverse rotation so that I can receive it and continue as it is.
‘Next time, the pass ability will be inflated.’
A scarecrow blocking the way… No, I caught a glimpse of the Japanese player’s tense face and pulled the ball out between his legs.
After the sprint, my feet, which did not stop even for a moment while receiving the pass and informing the Japanese player, stopped—
“Fake it, you assholes.”
Right after he even crosses the gap between the Japanese players who are swarming with bewildered expressions.
After scoring three goals, the Japanese players, repeating foolish play as if their mentality had collapsed, rushed at me ignorantly, while the Korean players crowded in the Japanese penalty box jumped into the air all at once.
Somehow, the fact that there are more Korean players than Japanese players in the Japanese penalty box seems to show the current situation in Japan.
Among the potatoes that jumped into the air almost at the same time, no matter who said first, the goal hit by a particularly tall potato shook the net again in Japan.
“Yaaaaa!! Grow! It’s my head!! I put it in!!!”
“This bastard put it in his nose!! The youngest bastard!!”
A 22-year-old young centre-back playing for Marseille, Oh Se-hyeon screams and drives the ground backwards.
It looks pretty good when they run amok in a frenzy, but the other players are smiling and congratulating them.
How many times has it already been repeated?
If you score goals in a row in a short period of time, you will feel a little sorry no matter how bad the opponent is.
31st minute in the second half.
It was the moment when the score changed from 5:0 to 6:0.
‘Hmm… Did Germany score 7 goals against Brazil? There is still one goal left.’

『The tragedy of Mineirang reproduced in 2038?』
『Beat Korea’s old rival and settle in the quarterfinals』
『The largest score difference ever! The best Korea-Japan match since 1980!
「The 1954 FIFA World Cup Asian qualifiers, the first Korea-Japan match at Meiji Jingu Gaewon Stadium in Tokyo, was a revenge match against Japan, the “Rival of fate” After Korea gained independence.
On this day, South Korea won 5:1 with goals from Nam-Sik Jeong, Jeong-Min Choi and Kwang-Seok Choi, which remained the highest scoring match against Korea and Japan until yesterday, 80 years later.
And today, this old record has a new owner.
The stage of the match between Korea and Japan, which has been playing for the 100th time in 80 years, is the quarterfinal stage of the World Cup.
If the Korea-Japan match in the early and mid-season was Korea’s overwhelming advantage, the recent 20 matches played since 2020 were 5 wins, 4 draws and 11 losses, so Korea’s overwhelming inferiority situation.
Even this would have been even more disastrous had it not been for Hong Min-joon’s winning streak in the 2030s after his national team debut.
However, recently, the younger generation, including Hong Min-jun, made a victory against Korea and Japan, and showed good results by defeating Japan in the last World Cup and advancing to the semifinals.
A fateful rivalry that met in the first place where the World Cup semifinal ticket was held.
The match between Korea and Japan, which started with the victory of Korea, the world’s best player and Ballon d’Or winner, ended with Korea’s 7:0 one-sided victory, recording the highest score and highest goal difference in history.
The protagonist of victory is, of course, Hong Min-joon.
On this day, Hong Min-jun became the main player in the victory by recording 2 goals and 2 assists, and in particular, he harassed Japan with his overwhelming presence that did not appear in the attacking point—”
『The best player ever in the World Cup!』
“Hong Min-joon, who added 2 goals and 2 assists in the match against Japan, became the main character of the World Cup record, surpassing Germany’s Miroslav Klose and Argentina’s hero Lionel Messi.
Hong Min-jun, who recorded 15 goals and 4 assists through the last World Cup and this World Cup, recorded 2 goals and 2 assists against Japan that day, recording 17 goals and 6 assists in the World Cup total.
This is a new record, surpassing Klose’s 16 goals, the highest score difference in the previous World Cup, and Messi’s 21 goals, the most offensive point owner.
.
.
.
In addition, there is a new record that Hong Min-joon broke through this game, the highest speed in the World Cup.
Opta, a football statistics site, picked the 37km/h speed that Arjen Robben of the Netherlands showed against Spain at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil as the best speed.
Arjen Robben of the Netherlands, led by coach Louis van Gaal at the time, took over the ball from the half-line against the “Defending champion” Spain, beat Sergio Ramos at the fastest pace in football history, and scored a goal by pushing goalkeeper Iker Casillas.
However, through this match against Japan, the record for ‘the fastest speed in football history’ was renewed, and the main character of the record is Hong Min-joon.
In the 7th minute of the second half, Hong Min-joon intercepted Japan’s pass under the half-line and started dribbling as it was, crossing the ground at a speed of 37.8 km/h and finally scoring Korea’s 4th goal.
.
.
.
In addition, befitting the nickname “Record breaker,” Hong Min-jun also recorded a’strong shot’ that surpassed the 123,34 km/h volley recorded by France’s Mbappe in the second half of the final match against Argentina in 2022—”
Korea’s victory was not a surprise.
It was once a tiger in Asia (limited), but isn’t it Korea that proved that it is no longer limited to Asia through the blast of the last World Cup?
In addition to Ballon d’Or winner Hong Min-jun, who is competing for the best ever, and a team that cannot be ignored, such as Yoon Hyuk, Seol Yo-han, Cha Myung-geun, and Kim Ki-soo.
Although Japan advanced to the quarterfinals of the World Cup for the second consecutive time with good performance, it is common to expect Korea to win considering the rudeness they showed against Korea in the last World Cup and recent Asian qualifiers.
Therefore, a global victory for Korea was expected, but it was not such a one-sided, crushing defeat for Japan that the viewer was devastated.
As if this was a threat to Korea’s next opponent, Korea-related broadcasts increased significantly, and experts skillfully soothed the public’s anxiety.
“It was a match that reminded me of the tragedy of Brazil in 2014 against Mineiro, where it was completely destroyed by Germany.”
“I didn’t expect it at all. Japan is a solid team, and they actually advanced to the quarterfinals of the World Cup, right? Plus Korea and Japan, France and England… No, I heard it’s like between Turkey and Greece. Of course, I was expecting an exciting match. These results are disappointing.”
“Hmm… Predict the outcome of the next match. It’s difficult. Korea’s victory is certainly impressive, but… Well… Korea was stronger than I thought… Rather, it should be seen that Japan collapsed more easily than I thought.”
“Spain is not a team that collapses as easily as Japan. I hope Korea doesn’t get too proud of their impressive sweeping victory. If you’re drunk with victory… Because Spain will take a hit. Of course, there is him in Spain. Jorge Garcia.”
“It’s a head-to-head match between two of the best players of our time. This match will be very fun. Why? Because it is the moment when the best in the world is overshadowed.”
