The Luzhniki Stadium, where the match between England and France will take place.
Located in the Russian capital Moscow, the stadium can accommodate 81,000 spectators and was filled with English and French fans from early on.
“It’s coming home, it’s coming home, it’s coming, Football’s coming home!”
“Viva la france!!”
As the two countries have historically been traditional rivals, the stadium quickly began to heat up with the passionate cheering of the fans.
“Boooooooooo─! Those guys who got beat up by Germany for 6 weeks!”
“You little bastards who eat eel jelly!”
Boos directed at the opposing team and cheers for their own players coexisted at the Luzhniki Stadium, with British and French fans not shying away from hurling provocative slogans at each other.
Beep beep beep!
A physical altercation broke out between the fans who were upset by the remarks, and the Bear Police responded with clubs rather than words.
While the fans who caused the disturbance were chased out of the stadium with blood pouring from their heads.
As the kick-off time approached, the players began to enter the stadium. The national anthems of England and France were played, and the starting lineups for both teams were announced on the broadcast.
[The semi-final match between England and France at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow. Let’s take a look at France’s lineup first. Goalkeeper Hugo Lloris has put on his gloves. Next is the back four. Just like the last match, Lucas Hernandez-Samuel Umtiti-Raphael Varane-Benjamin Pavard will start. Starting with left midfielder Blaise Matuidi, the combination will be N’Golo Kante, Paul Pogba, and Antoine Griezmann. And the right attacker is Kylian Mbappe, and the striker is Olivier Giroud.]
└ Wow, the French lineup is crazy;
└ It’s really really tough.
[Here is England’s starting lineup. As always, goalkeeper Jordan Pickford put on his gloves. And there’s a change in England’s formation. Unlike the last game, they’re playing in a 3-5-2 formation. The central defenders are Kyle Walker, Smalling, and John Stones, and the wingbacks are Ashley Young and Trippier. And the midfielders are Jordan Henderson, Son Jin-ho, and Dele Alli.]
└ Wow haha God Jin-ho ㄷㄷ
└ England also has a good squad.
└ It’s so funny that the semi-finals of the World Cup are a showdown between the country with the most Independence Days in the world and the country with the second-most Independence Days in the world.
└ ㄷㄷ;; A battle of hate that makes your heart swell.
[Yes, Kyle Walker started as the left central defender. It seems to be to stop Mbappe, who has quick feet.]
[Yes, and up front, Harry Kane and Raheem Sterling are named in place of Jamie Vardy, who suffered a minor bruise in the last game against Russia. What do you think the outcome of the game will be?]
[Yes. It seems that England has the advantage in terms of physical strength. Didn’t France lose a lot of energy in the overtime match against Croatia? The key will be how well the French players recover their physical strength.]
[Yes. Indeed, what kind of match will the two teams show! As I was talking, the referee blew his whistle and the match started!]
***
The match between England and France started with England scoring first.
England have never reached the final of a World Cup other than the one held on home soil in 1966.
“Gino!!”
“Take us to the finals!!”
“Rule, Britannia! Britannia, rule the football!”

As soon as the game started, the English fans chanted the name of captain and ace Son Jin-ho, hoping that the team would advance to the finals.
But contrary to their hopes, the game did not go easily for England.
[France’s strong pressure! N’Golo Kante successfully intercepts Alli’s pass!]
France put on strong pressure right from the start of the game, pushing England hard.
As N’Golo Kante intercepts the pass, France counterattacks.
[Kante doesn’t lose focus even as he falls, and passes the ball to Griezmann!]
[Referee calls advantage! England in trouble!]
Jordan Henderson tried to stop a French counterattack with a foul, but the ball was safely passed to Paul Pogba.
[Olivier Giroud! Giroud comes down to the second line and fights!]
Olivier Giroud fought off Chris Smalling to create space for Kylian Mbappe to break into.
[Running Mbappe! Antoine Griezmann! I saw the space!]
Antoine Griezmann slid a through ball into the space where Mbappe was running.
[Griezmann’s pass to Mbappe!!]
Griezmann’s pass connects to the space in front of Mbappe.
[Mbappe is fast! Really fast! Mbappe enters the penalty box in an instant! Just like that, swoooo …
Mbappe, who ran straight at the speed, attempted a shot as soon as he entered the penalty box.
Mbappe’s shot managed to avoid Jordan Pickford, who ran out of the area to narrow the angle of the shot, but failed to find the net.
Kaang─!
Mbappe’s shot hit the front of the net and John Stones rushed forward to clear the ball over the line.
“Putain!”
Kylian Mbappe expressed his disappointment by pulling on his jersey after missing a golden chance.
[Ouch! Hit the post!! Mbappe’s shot hits the post!]
[England breathe a sigh of relief. It was a threatening shot from Mbappe.]
***
Even after Mbappe’s threatening shot, England continued to allow space behind Kylian Mbappe.
Olivier Giroud, who has an excellent ability to create space, created space for Griezmann and Mbappe to break into and shake up England’s defense.
– The defense is shaking, can I come down?
Once again, Son Jin-ho, who watched Antoine Griezmann’s shot, quickly exchanged glances with manager Southgate on the touchline.
– Do it yourself.
Manager Southgate nodded without hesitation when Son Jin-ho looked at him.
Because Son Jin-ho was already given autonomy before the game started.

“Calm down! Don’t rush in!”
Son Jin-ho, who received permission from the director, went down a little further and gave some strength.
Only then did the England defence begin to regain its composure.
As the defense began to find stability, the flow of the game gradually shifted to England.
England started their build-up from deep in their defensive zone.
Son Jin-ho, who relieved France’s pressure with a one-two pass with Smalling, attempted a long pass toward the front.
Boohoo─.
Harry Kane heads the ball back and it finds Dele Alli.
Dele Alli attempts a forward dribble while also having a steady first touch.
Paul Pogba, who was watching the scene, stopped England’s counterattack with a rough tackle.
“Referee, your foot was high just now!”
Dele Alli was furious at Paul Pogba’s rough tackle and protested strongly to the referee, but Alli’s argument was not accepted.
The game began to get increasingly rough due to the referee’s neglect.
***
[Son Jin-ho will prepare for a free kick in a good position.]
The game resumed with a free kick from England, and Son Jin-ho took the kick.
[Yes, a good position to aim for a direct shot.]
[The referee blows his whistle! Son Jin-ho shoots!!!]
Son Jin-ho’s shot with his right foot went into the corner of the goal.
‘I went in.’
The moment when Jin-ho Son thought he had scored with a well-timed shot.
[Super Save! It’s Yoris’s Super Save!]
[Wow, you really kicked and blocked it well.]
Yoris, who flew with his whole body, barely managed to block Son Jin-ho’s shot.
Lloris roars while blocking Son Jin-ho’s shot.
Son Jin-ho, who was watching the scene, couldn’t hide his trembling expression.
‘…Is this racism?’
The game resumed with an England corner, and with Lloris successfully blocking another England corner, France began their counterattack.
Lloris punched the ball to Pogba, who saw Kylian Mbappe running forward and immediately attempted a long pass.
Paul Pogba’s long pass finds Mbappe, with Kyle Walker blocking Kylian Mbappe.
The moment Kyle Walker thought he had successfully stopped a counterattack by delaying Kylian Mbappe’s advance.
Attacking midfielder Antoine Griezmann ran into the space behind Kyle Walker, causing Walker to lose focus as he tried to keep a close eye on Kylian Mbappe.
Kylian Mbappe, who noticed Walker’s concentration wavering, attempted a dribble and cut into the center.
[Kyle Walker, cut off by foul!]
Kyle Walker, who momentarily lost sight of Killian Mbappe, was forced to cut him off with a foul in the danger zone.
France’s free kick follows.
Antoine Griezmann takes the free kick. Griezmann’s cross, curled in with his left foot, heads into the penalty box.
[Umtiti Header─!!]
Griezmann’s cross found Umtiti’s head.
[But Pickford saves!]
Jordan Pickford maintained his concentration until the end and made a successful save.
[Huh?! The ball that Pickford kicked goes to Kylian Mbappe!!]
But Jordan Pickford’s shot went straight towards Mbappe.
[Mbappe!!!]
Mbappe scored with a powerful kick to the rebound.
“Viva la France!!!”
The French crowd cheered as soon as the goal was scored, and Kylian Mbappe looked at Son Jin-ho with a victorious expression.
[Gooooooooooooo─! Kylian Mbappe scores the first goal!!!}
***
I sighed as I watched Kylian Mbappe perform his celebration.
‘It’s a familiar face.’
Mbappe’s expression was similar to that of Cristiano Ronaldo, who asked for a new contract, saying that he deserved to be paid fairly for his performance last season.
-Beom Bu-du: Son Jin-ho should receive a fair price based on his performance in the Champions League.
– Hou: How dare someone who has won fewer Ballons d’Ors than me get a higher salary than me?
For reference, Ronaldo’s request for a new contract was successfully suppressed by a weight class based on facts.
‘Whew. Mbappe, that guy has no foundation either.’
As a promising prospect who is receiving attention from the world’s media, it feels like he is quickly losing his roots.
It was a moment when a lecture on fundamentals by Jin-ho Son, a daily instructor, was needed for the development of the soccer world.
I decided to reform Mbappe’s mind in this match.
Of course, before that, first of all… .
‘Let’s score the equalizer first.’
I looked at Manager Southgate again and he nodded.
‘Why does that person nod whenever we make eye contact?’
