Chapter 67 – Korea-Japan War (1)
067
The 2032 Australian Olympic men’s soccer semi-finalists have been decided.
Spain and France.
Korea and Japan.
It was no wonder that the former were teams that were expected to win if there were no incidents, but the latter two countries were different. Although it is said to be a powerhouse in the Asian football world, Asia is a second-class region that lags behind Europe and South America.
No one would have expected two Asian teams to face each other in the semifinals instead of leading powerhouses, such as Italy in Europe or Brazil in South America.
The world has paid attention to the rapid progress of Asian football.
And the two countries, the parties involved, Korea and Japan, literally exploded.
—Kitaｷﾀ💞💞(ﾟ∀ﾟ)💞💞!!
—Come aaaaa!!
Especially the community.
In the case of Korea, confidence was revealed as they advanced to the semifinals with a very good performance.
—Is this the true story of the semifinal game between Korea and Japan?
—My heart grows grand in the East Asia Big Fight
ㄴI have to admit that if you made it all the way to the semi-finals, I think it’s okay to classify South Korea and Barbari as advanced soccer countries?

Why are there so many crazy people these days?
On the other hand, while Japan was wary of Korea’s good performance, it burned with revenge for the last London Olympics.
Korea and Japan, who reached the semi-finals side by side at the 2012 London Olympics, faced each other in the bronze medal match, losing to Brazil and Mexico, respectively. The result was Korea’s 2:0 win.
With this victory, Korea won the bronze medal, and Japan had to kneel with the medal right in front of them.
20 years since then.
A similar situation was encountered at the 2032 Olympic Games in Australia. Although the stage is different between the semi-finals and the bronze medal match with final tickets, aren’t they fateful rivals met in similar situations?
— Kitta~~~~
—Are you in Korea again? Wwwww
—Miura!! Take revenge on Josen from his seniors 20 years ago!!
Junichiro will do it for you!
—Koitsu www Is it Korea again? Www
—Joseon hyungs are scary

ㄴ Jaeil and the like get lost in Joseon!
—Asia’s two big brothers face off in the Olympic semi-finals! East Asian football is growing
ㄴJoseon only came up by buying referees
You can’t play soccer without a buyout wwwww
ㄴChop’s purchase was brilliant in this match against Spain as well.
Are you serious? The referee for the match was our Japanese.
ㄴwwwww can’t answer
—I knelt down to Korea 20 years ago, but not this time…
—Miura! Junichiro! Please please!!
—I’m scared of Chosun hyung this time~~~ Hongsang is so good!!
—Hongsama Daisuki!! He is the Prince of Asia!!
ㄴ Women who fell in love with Joseon, get out of Japan!
Since it is a topic that both countries are paying attention to, the community reaction was quickly translated and spread, and soon it spread to a pride fight and exploded splendidly.
And the explosive power did not stop online.
“Hello, this is Sports News Kang Ji-young. We bring you Olympic news. The men’s soccer team advanced to the semi-finals—”
“Docu-prime. This time around, how the controversial Olympic soccer team made it to the semi-finals—”
From news to documentaries to entertainment, it was just about Olympic soccer wherever it was played, and even a special broadcast was organized to preview the match against Japan.
“The opponent for the men’s soccer semi-final at the Olympics was decided to be Japan, right?”
“That’s right. It is the first time since the London Olympics, 20 years ago, that our soccer team has advanced to the semifinals at the Olympics. At the London Olympics, we unfortunately lost 0:3 against Brazil, but we won 2:0 against Japan in the bronze medal match.”
“Then, this Korea-Japan match. What are the points we need to know?”
“Yes! There are three points to pay attention to in this Korea-Japan match.”
Graphics, including the Olympic logo, come to mind behind the young man with his short hair turned over in pomade.
“First. The match between Korea and Japan in the Olympic semifinals! Will we be able to win the match against Japan and advance to the final stage for the first time in the history of the national soccer team!”
Against the backdrop of the words “Finals,” The Korean national team’s logo, the white tiger, and the Japanese national team’s logo, the crow, are confronting each other.
“Second. Our Hong Min-joon, who is ranked 2nd in the scoring rankings! In the match against Nigeria in the last quarterfinals, there was a scene where he hit the goal post or narrowly passed the goal post. Will he be able to start scoring again in this Korea-Japan match? So, I am looking forward to seeing if I can become the first Korean player to become the first Olympic scorer.”
Along with Hong Min-joon’s photo, the scene of scoring a goal is reflected.
“And the third, unfortunately, who will fill the vacant positions of Oh Pyo-shik and Kim Dae-seong, who unfortunately cannot play in the game against Japan due to injury and resignation. And I think we need to pay attention to how well we can make up for it.”
Along with pictures of Oh Pyo-sik and Kim Dae-sung, the basic formation of the national team 4-2-3-1 appeared, and a “?” Sign appeared in the place of the two players.
“Then, on the other hand, what about the situation on the Japanese side?”
“Yes. Japan is on the rise, saying it will avenge the Olympics 20 years ago. In particular, Japanese national team aces, Miura and Junichiro, expressed their confidence through interviews. Shall we look at the data screen?”
The darkened video brightened and a player wearing a Japanese national team uniform appeared.
—Junichiro: To avenge the seniors who were defeated by the Korean national team at the London Olympics 20 years ago…
—Miura: The current Japanese national team is invincible. Korea is also a good team, but not for us now. I will definitely win this match overwhelmingly…
“Meanwhile, the attention of overseas clubs is focused on the successive performances of Hong Min-jun, the crown prince of all-time greatness—”
This was also the case in Japan.
“Hasegawa-san. How about comparing the Korean team and the Japanese team?”
“Eh again… The Korean team looks perfect on the outside. From the group stage to the quarterfinals, we have a very good record of 11 goals and 2 conceded in 4 matches.”
“The Japanese national team scored 6 points and conceded 3 points in 4 games, right?”
“Yes, but it is just a number. Our Sakka Nippon Taihyo sucker (Japan national soccer team) is strong!”
“Please explain in more detail.”
“First of all, I would like to say that the record of the Korean national team is an illusion. To… From the group stage to the quarterfinals, Korea’s opponents were nothing special except for Spain, right? The Spaniard also went out as a second team, but the Korean team luckily scored the opening goal and destroyed itself. On the other hand, what about our Japan?”
To the question of a middle-aged man with a 2:8 haircut called Hasegawa, the moderator answered as if he had been waiting.
“We competed against Brazil, Hungary and Egypt in the group stage and against Italy in the quarterfinals.”
“Isn’t the difference obvious compared to Honduras, Morocco, and Nigeria?”
“Yes. There is a huge difference in name value.”
“Brazil, the country of the soccer emperor, Hungary, the ambush of Europe, and Egypt, the leader of Africa! And the opponent in the quarterfinals is that Italy!! Compared to Korea, which has taken a comfortable path, our national team has overcome all kinds of hardships and adversity.”
“Ah~ It’s true~!”
After showing the promised exaggerated response, the moderator asked the next question according to the set procedure.
“But the opponent is Korea, the rival of fate!! The outward appearance is terrifying! Are there any weaknesses? Hasegawa Award! Please let me know~!”
“Eh again… Weaknesses of the Korean team… ! There are a lot of people!!”
“Eh? The fearsome Korean team also has a weakness!? Are you saying that!?”
“Of course! The Korean team definitely has weaknesses!”
Hasegawa bent down and took out something from underneath.
It was a panel with a ground line marked on it.
“What is this, Hasegawa-san?”
“The scribe I prepared! It’s a Hasegawa panel that’s easy to recognize at a glance!”
“Hey, you’re thoroughly prepared!”
Hasegawa, who raised the panel for a good look at the camera, rummaged in his pocket and took out his magnet.
As the moderator held up the panels as if he had been waiting, Hasegawa began to explain by attaching magnets one by one.
“Look. First of all, tactically, the Korean team starts with a 4-2-3-1.”
“Seeing it this way makes it much easier to understand. As expected, Hasegawa-san! The detail is amazing!”
“In detail, isn’t it our Japan? Now, the start is an ordinary 4-2-3-1, but Korea’s deception is just beginning.”
“What a deception. That’s scary. What deception?”
“The Korean team often shows an extreme 1-2-3-4 when attacking.”
Move the magnets one by one to create a new formation.
The host raised his voice.
“What is this? It’s completely different from the first time!”
“This is Korea’s deceptive tactic. It doesn’t end here. When defending, it forms a 4-4-2 or 4-1-4-1 or 5-4-1. The two important axes here are No. 28 Yun Sang and No. 7 Hong Sang.”
Hasegawa again took out a panel from under the juseomjuseom.
A panel with the faces of Hong Min-jun and Yoon-hyeok appeared.
