Chapter 66 – Rising Star (2)

066

“Korea’s attack is continuing. The match is 27 minutes into the second half. The score is 3:1, Korea is leading, and Chae Ki-duk takes over!”
“Yes, Chae Ki-duk. This is your second appearance as a starter. Chae Ki-duk, who plays for Changwon, the second division, is one of the players that has been controversial since the roster was announced, right?”
“That’s right. There was a feeling that players Hong Min-jun and Yoon-hyeok were buried earlier, but there was a lot of talk when a player who was only called up to the national team was confirmed in the final list.”
“But Chae Ki-duk, like Hong Min-jun and Yun-hyeok, overcame it with his skills. The first start was not as good as the two players, but he played as a substitute in the group stage and improved his senses. He did a good job in it.”
“That’s right! Hey~ Looking at it like this, our head coach is very talented. He is very talented in discovering rookies. Following Min-jun Hong and Hyuk Yoon, and even Ki-duk Chae. Wouldn’t this be Midas’ hand?”

The broadcast that relayed the match between Korea and Nigeria was always friendly.
It was inevitable because the game scored the opening goal early in the first half through the collaboration of two players who were selected as wild cards.

After Seol Yo-han’s low and fast cross, which reached the vicinity of Nigeria’s penalty box due to overlapping, Oh Pyo-shik shook the net with a sensuous shot that only slightly changed direction in the middle, the Korean team continued to attack Nigeria.

“Director Gong is a really good person. How did you recognize our Minjunie and suddenly select him?”

Hong Min-joon’s mother, Kang Hae-mi, clapped her hands while watching a middle-aged man with a rough impression on TV.
As soon as he started playing soccer, he was called a genius and was on a winning streak, but a long slump began when he entered high school.

Their son’s sluggishness came as a shock to the couple, who had been contemplating whether to start in Europe or Korea, as professional pros were the basics until their middle school days.

“Uh huh. Don’t say anything to be negative. Jindeuk-honey, if you hone your skills, opportunities will come naturally.”
“No, what is this man talking about? Where do you get an opportunity these days? I’ll run away from the opportunity that came. These days, it’s the era of self-PR. Is that all right?”

A couple who run a small fruit shop in Gangwon-do realized the reality only after their son fell into a slump.
When I was famous as a genius, I just had to watch my son run comfortably without worrying about anything because it was a gift from a prodigy. .

The couple felt sorry for not being able to support their son when he was having a hard time.

“It’s okay. Min-joon doesn’t even have to step out anymore.”

Kang Hae-mi let out a sigh of relief at Yoon Daye’s calm voice.

“So? Oh wow, i’m glad Because we have Daye, the lady is very relieved. I’m worried because Minjunie only knows soccer, but Daye takes good care of him.”
“Sure. Do not worry.”
“Oh, that person. Will Daye know how to do it? It’s not a Korean University student, it’s a Korean University student. Full scholarship there! I’m a genius who even received a scholarship from Korea University, so how can I take care of it?”

At the words of her father, Hong Kyung-sik, Yoon Da-ye laughs discreetly, covering her mouth with her hand as if in trouble.

“Oh really. No sir Minjun who is active as a national representative is more amazing.”
“Oh, uncle. What is a man who is sad to hear? You can call me like before.”
“Your father. Min-joon, it must have been difficult after the Olympics, so I need to do something delicious.”
“Hmm. There is no need to help the West from now on. As a father, I know that that bastard is an idiot who only knows how to play soccer, and this person also knows, so take good care of him.”
“Gosh. They say daughter-in-law’s love is father-in-law. Sesame is pouring, sesame is pouring.”
“Uh hmm!”

Yoon Daye, who had been laughing discreetly as she watched the two bicker, turned to the TV screen again.
A close-up of Hong Min-jun’s sweat-drenched face with a more tired expression than usual.

‘You’re handsome… It’s strange. I’ve seen this face for a long time, but why does it look so good these days?’

When he was tilting his head, Hong Min-jun, who caught the ball, once again showed off his splendid skills.

“Hong Min-jun! Hong Min-jun caught the ball!!”
“I’m Hong Min-joon! Nigerian players surround me in an instant! But I can’t run at them easily!”
“Yeah, I’ve already been rushed through several times. Nigerian players, I’m afraid of Hong Min-jun right now!”
Hehesitates as if he’s about to run! Oh, our Hong Min-joon is amazing! We’re putting pressure on two Nigerian players in front of us!!”
“Looks like you’re running out of stamina? This time, I’m going to pass rather than break through… I’m going! Hong Min-joon, who kicks the ball for a long time and pierces it in an instant!!”

“Oh my God!”
“Shoot! Gotta shoot!”

Unlike the two who were restless while watching TV, Daye Yoon quietly watched Minjun Hong on the screen.
The player in the game is calmly overtaking the defender, but the sight of the spectators becoming more confused passes by,

“This is your chance! Hong Min-jun, Hong Min-jun shot!!”

The moment Hong Min-joon’s shot unfortunately went off the side of the goal, the caster and commentator sighed.
The community atmosphere was also similar.

—Hong Min-jun, God Min-jun, King God General, Hong Min-jun!!
—Yeah~ You broke through again~ You can’t do anything about Nigeria~?
ㄴ Yeah~ There’s no use in putting pressure on blind people~
—Fucking Hong Min-joon, Simmons alone

—But why do you look so hard today;; You look so tired

Beep!! Beep!!
The Nigerian players, who had been drawn to Korea with a score of 3:1, became more and more rough.

Meanwhile, in the 33rd minute of the second half.
Oh Pyo-shik, who caught the ball in the dangerous area in front of the penalty box, succeeded in painting against the defender who was blocking his way.

While the unbalanced defender was hesitant, Oh Pyo-shik ran out, and the defender who caught up late rolled the ground together with a back tackle.

The referee declared a penalty, but the erroneous sign did not happen.
As Pyo-shik Oh rolled around, the Nigerian players forcibly grabbed and dragged his uniform, and after continued rough play, an injury occurred and the excited Korean players confronted them, and the situation escalated further and a fight broke out.

“Fuck!! Didn’t the referee get bribed!? Those bastards made dirty back tackles, so why are you taking out a card and fucking with us!!”
“Referee!! Hey, Referee!! Why!? Why!?”
“Senior! Calm down! Calm down, senpai!!”
“What are you doing? Don’t stop everyone!”
“I’m so excited. Calm down!”

In the end, Oh Pyo-sik was replaced at the sign that he could no longer play, and midfielder Kim Dae-seong, who had been protesting fiercely, received a red card and was sent off.

The atmosphere calmed down and the game resumed after 5 minutes.

Haha.”
“It’s okay?”

The Korean national team, which had to use all of its replacement cards due to unexpected Pyo-shik Oh’s injury and even a red card, could not replace Min-jun Hong, who clearly showed signs of running out of stamina. Recorded full-time participation.

The result was a 3:1 victory for South Korea.
It was a splendid feat of advancing to the semi-finals, the semi-finals, beyond the quarterfinals, but Oh Pyo-shik, who played his part by holding the center of the attacking team with a wild card, ended the Olympics with an injury. , It became impossible to participate in the next game.

In the semifinals, which is the most important for winning medals, two starters were missing.
To make matters worse, the next opponent—

“Congratulations everyone for advancing to the semi-finals. You know if you win the next game you get a medal, right? You guys are more interested in the military service exemption than the medal.”
“Ah~ You know that very well, Director.”
“Medal Gaza!!”
“Let’s get exempted!!”
“It’s not an exemption for seniors, it’s a special exception.”
“Oh, Italy is a bit tough.”

Even though there were unsavory things, victory is victory anyway. Goongseong-seong, who watched the players who succeeded in advancing to the semifinals, clapped their hands.

“Pay attention. We wasted five minutes fighting the Nigerians and the other side came first.”
“Did Italy win?”
“Of course Italy won, dude. Coach, how many goals did you win?”
“It’s the opposite. Japan won.”
“…Yes? Then…?”
“Yes. The opponent in the quarterfinals is Japan.”

The next opponent was Japan.

Meanwhile, Yoon-hyeok, who was leaving the ground after the game, looked around.

‘Where is Hong Min-joon?’

From the day after the round of 16, Hong Min-joon, who tasted the sex village with Seol Yo-han and Yoon-hyeok, went around chasing women until the day before the match against Nigeria in the quarter-final.

It was the day before the game that Hong Min-joon, who secretly met a girl, was caught.
Gong Jeon-seong, who was checking the condition of the players, found Min-joon Hong, who was shaking with a blank face, and questioned him about everything, and the three people’s resolution to do-won was catastrophic in just 4 days.

‘I should have done it in moderation, ah!!’

The director, who was furious with the dark circles that came down to his chin and his legs shaking, asked how many people he had met, and he said, 7 on the first day, 5 on the second day, 6 on the third day, and 3 on the last day. That I met

‘Crazy stallion.’

It is for this reason that he showed less stamina than usual in today’s game.
Yoon-hyeok, who was tied up in a set and scolded together, suddenly had to take on the role of Hong Min-joon’s supervisor, and even after the game was over, he looked around for him and found him muttering to himself.

‘Yes? What are you muttering about?’

I heard Hong Min-joon’s voice as I quietly approached from behind.

“I am absolutely awakening to the play life without any side effects, conditions, or costs today, and the play life ability never disappears, and no one can rob me of the play life ability. … Fuck why am I not opening the play life app? I want to be fucking strong.”
‘…….’
