The match between England, the winners of Euro 2016, and Germany, the winners of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, captured the public’s attention.
In Russia, the match between Germany and England was given more coverage than the Russian man going up against the bear.
[Exclusive interview with Russian man who fought bear cub.]
└ What is it? It’s a bear cub.
└ Even if a bear is a cub, it will tear a person apart.
└ ???: Isn’t the bear cub a pet?
Because the fight between a drunken Russian man and a (cub) bear was a common and trivial matter in Russia.
Anyway, as the World Cup match between England and Germany approached, soccer fans sat quietly in front of their TVs, preparing to watch the match with anticipation on their faces.
“Honey, did you order chicken?”
“Oh. Right. I’ll order it now.”
“If I order delivery now, it’ll probably take a long time.”
“It’s not even Gyeonggi-do in Korea, so there’s no way… Oh. They said it would take 2 hours.”
“Hey! I told you to order it in advance!”
This was also the case in Son Jin-ho’s hometown, South Korea.
The feelings of the Korean people toward Son Jin-ho, who chose naturalization, were quite complicated. There was a mixture of pride in being a Korean playing on the European stage, which is the mainstream of the soccer world, and resentment at having given up the citizenship of the country where he was born.
And these complex emotions of love and hate were fully reflected in the viewer ratings.
Son Jin-ho’s fans turned on the TV to cheer for him, and Son Jin-ho’s anti-fans gathered in front of the TV to swear at him if he made a mistake.
Around the time when the PD’s lips started to smile at the rising viewer ratings.
The match between Germany and England began with the referee’s whistle.
[The match between Euro champions England and Brazil’s World Cup champions Germany has begun.]
The eyes of soccer fans, full of anticipation, turned to the TV.
But when the match between the two teams actually began, the anticipation turned to disappointment.
Could it be because I was nervous about the World Cup?
Or maybe it’s just fatigue from the season ending so soon.
[Are you still not fully relaxed? The players’ bodies look heavy.]
The players made a series of mistakes they normally wouldn’t have made.
[Son Jin-ho’s pressure successfully steals the ball from Mesut Ozil!]
[Son Jin-ho’s pressure timing was good, but Draxler’s pass miss was fatal.]
[Yes. Son Jin-ho read Draxler’s intention to pass to Ozil, and used his quick feet to intercept the pass. And passed to Harry Kane!!]
Son Jin-ho’s pass reached Harry Kane, who attempted a shot straight away.
[Ah! But here Harry Kane’s shot flies into the air!!!]
Not long after, Harry Kane squandered a golden opportunity into the air.
This time England’s mistake was revealed.
[Huh? It’s short!]
Jordan Henderson’s back pass to Smalling was short, and Timo Werner was quicker than Smalling to grab it, creating a golden opportunity.
[Werner catches it! Werner! Shoot it!!]
And then Timo Werner, who successfully beat goalkeeper Jordan Pickford in a one-on-one chance, failed to score the ball into the empty goal, leaving football fans doubting their eyes.
[Ah!! I can’t put this in!! Timo Werner!!]
Timo Werner fell to the ground, clutching his head after missing a golden chance to score.
“Hehehe.”
Son Jin-ho burst into laughter. Timo Werner made a momentary expression of shock at Son Jin-ho’s frivolous laughter, but he didn’t get angry because it wasn’t excessive trash talk.
Anyway, the two teams’ strikers each blew a golden chance.
[Ah. The players have made too many mistakes so far. The team that reduces mistakes in this game will win.]
└ Are those teams that won major tournaments…?
└ What the heck, are these kids fixing the match right now?
└ You go to the round of 16, you piece of shitㅋㅋㅋ
└ Ssup… If we do this well, won’t we advance to the group preliminaries in first place?
└ Ah, haha. I think it might be worth a try?
└ What? Are we going to have a Korea-Japan match in the round of 16? LOL
└ Please refrain from getting excited about the Korea-Japan match;;
The two teams displayed a miserable performance that was hard to believe was a match between teams that won major tournaments, and South Korean viewers who had been cursing at the rotten performance slowly began to feel happy.
***
22 minutes into the first half, as the match between England and Germany continued.
The one who changed the flow of the boring game with a performance that did not live up to their reputation was Son Jin-ho, the only Asian player among the two teams.
[Harry Kane is giving it to Son Jin-ho! Son Jin-ho!!]
Son Jin-ho, who had shaken off Schweinsteiger, attempted a surprise mid-range shot.
Boohoo─!
Son Jin-ho’s shot flew straight into the German goal.
‘It’s placed properly.’
Son Jin-ho knew he would score the moment he took the shot. It was because the ball landed so well that he couldn’t feel it on his foot.
But it was Manuel Neuer who guarded Germany’s goal.
Neuer looked straight ahead at the incoming ball and leapt up.
He managed to send the shot safely out of the goal line.
[Neuer! What a fantastic save from Manuel Neuer!!]
[Wow, this is really well done and well blocked.]
Although Son Jin-ho’s shot did not result in a goal, England began to gain momentum starting with Son Jin-ho’s mid-range shot.
[Jin-ho Son catches the ball again and looks to the side.]

England’s attacks continue.
[Rashford grabs the ball and tries to dribble! But Philipp Lahm makes a neat tackle and sends the ball over the touchline!]
At a time when English football fans were burning with excitement over a goal that seemed close to exploding but did not.
Son Jin-ho, who brought the flow of the game to England, succeeded in breaking the balance of 0.
[Delhi Ali to Son Jin-ho! Son Jin-ho just like that, shoooo …
Dele Alli’s pass, which was exchanged with Henderson, went in front of Son Jin-ho.
Son Jin-ho’s subsequent shot was deflected by Jerome Boateng’s hand.
“Referee! It touched my arm!”
England immediately surrounded the referee and claimed Boateng had handballed the ball.
A situation where a card could be given despite strong protests from England players.
“Back off, everyone is too excited.”
England captain Son Jin-ho calmed down the excited England players and then made a cautious appeal.
‘Hmm. I didn’t see it touching my arm…’
Meanwhile, the referee who did not witness the scene was lost in thought.
If things had gone as planned, it would have gone to Germany’s goal kick as the referee and linesman did not see the details of the scene, but fortunately for England, the VAR system was introduced starting with this World Cup in Russia.
– VAR review shows it touched Boateng’s hand.
After speaking with the VAR, the referee moved to look at the VAR.
[The referee is looking at the VAR. Ah! It touched the arm! In fact, until now, if it touched the arm, it was just a penalty kick! Sure enough…! It hit! The referee calls a penalty kick!!]
The referee, after reviewing VAR, points to the penalty spot and awards England a penalty kick.
“You must respect me. I am the successor and rival of Lionel Messi, a three-time Ballon d’Or winner, and I will dominate the new era of football and become the emperor of football… .”
Son Jin-ho waved his palm to easily defeat Wayne Rooney and Harry Kane, who were eager for a penalty kick, and then prepared for the penalty kick.
***
‘Phew.’
I took a deep breath as I prepared for the penalty kick. It wasn’t because I was nervous, it was because I was still out of breath from the rapid-fire laps I had just attempted to chase down Harry Kane and Wayne Rooney.
Anyway, after catching my breath, I turned my gaze to the German goal.
‘The goalkeepers are definitely big.’
There was Manuel Neuer, who seemed to have filled the goal.
When you see players missing penalty kicks on TV, you may wonder why they can’t score them, but when you stand at the penalty spot yourself, you will feel differently.
The sight of giants as tall as 2 meters guarding the goal was so intimidating that it made the goal feel narrow.
Anyway, the penalty kick is a showdown between the goalkeeper and the kicker that takes place from a distance of just 11 meters.
A man could not back down from this match.
Haven’t I already succeeded in countless penalty kicks, including in my past life?
Besides, I was also clearly aware of Germany’s weaknesses.
Historically, Germany has been weak on freedom and democracy.
And it was ‘common sense’ that Germany would lose to an Asian team in the World Cup group stage.
‘so…’
By Aristotle’s syllogism, Germany can never beat an Asian-run England.
‘Yeah, if I miss a penalty kick, I’ll just have to emigrate~’
I shook off the burden of the penalty kick and slowly ran towards the ball with a smile on my face.
‘Let’s pull to the right.’
I ran towards the ball, decided on a direction, and tried to take the penalty kick in that direction.
Creepy─.
But at the moment when he was about to take the penalty kick, I felt an ominous look on Manuel Neuer’s face.
I followed my instincts and changed direction to take the penalty kick. In my experience, I have never had a bad result from following my instincts.
I saw Manuel Neuer jumping to the spot I had initially decided on.
A last-minute change of direction sent the ball flying in the opposite direction to Manuel Neuer, smashing into the German net.
‘Wow. I almost got screwed.’
I tried to calm my heart that had suddenly thumped, and ran to the corner flag and roared to hide my panicked emotions.
“Whoooo …

[Gooooooooooooo! Jin-ho Son completely fools Manuel Neuer and scores a penalty kick!!]
└ ㅅㅅㅅㅅㅅㅅㅅㅅㅅㅅ
└ Wow~ VAR was good.
└ Let’s catch Panama and draw with Germany and England~~
***
The atmosphere of the game changed in an instant after Son Jin-ho scored.
A quick turnaround continues, and a fierce match unfolds.
Still, there were occasional glimpses of players acting different than usual due to the tension.
Here, the leadership of the great captain Son Jin-ho, who led the laughing candidate England to the championship candidate Great Britain, shone brightly.
“If you miss the pass, your pay will be cut!”
“Ra, raeuuuuuuuuuuu─!”
Rashford, who came to his senses at Son Jin-ho’s words, started to shake up the German defense on the side.
[Gooooooooooooooo─! This goal by Marcus Rashford is fatal for Germany!! The score is 2-0, England is starting to take a 2-point lead!!]
This was followed by England scoring another goal.
“Harry Kane, give up your humanity. You become an animal that is out to score goals.”
“Ke, keuu …
In this way, the savage Anglo-Saxons were gradually converted by the influence of Son Jin-ho.
