While Jesus Joo notched a hat-trick, shattering Mallorca's will to fight back...
The soccer community was buzzing with a fresh hot topic.
At some point, everyone started naturally rooting for Mallorca.
I've been hooked on them ever since Young-beom Lee transferred...
Their play is so good you can't help but become a fan.
Eye-searing level of skill?
You don't know soccer lololol.
Mallorca games are fucking thrilling lololol.
Every line except the keeper gets wrecked, so you never know the result lololol.
And when you bet Toto on it? Fuck, your hands shake like crazy!
That's gambling addiction, not excitement.
What? You dissing officially licensed Toto?!
Ugh... Fucking gambler's speech is disgusting.
Watching their games teaches you what blood-boiling soccer is lololol.
They win when you think they'll lose, draw when you think win, lose when draw. Insane team lololol.
Real Madrid is a top team where losing feels weird, so less thrill in cheering. Mallorca? Every game is brutally intense lolol.
Me first lol.
Slipping in quietly to upvote and leave.
Hero Young-beom hallelujah, fighting! Slay the Demon King Jesus Joo!
Huh? You're crossing the line. Trash Madrid all you want, but dissing Jesus bro? Block.
Yeah, that's why Jesus bro stopped chicken giveaways and does video season tickets now -_-.
Colchester came up, so asking: Can they promote this season too?
They'll promote, 2nd place now, close to 1st. Could even back-to-back if lucky?
Lol, promote to 3rd division~
3rd division is around K-League level, right?
No downplaying K-League. Top of 2nd division level.
No upplaying either. Mid-table 2nd division.
Suddenly derailing to K-League bait.
....Wtf why is Jesus bro running so hard?
Bro! Stop! Opponent's groggy!
Too brutal, can't watch!
[Mallorca haven't given up yet! José Gayà steals the ball with aggressive pressing! Crosses to Diego Silva!]
[Ter Stegen's punch! Ball goes to Jesus!]
[Iker Bravo on the left flank. Jesus! Doesn't pass to Iker Bravo, starts dribbling himself! Jesus charges fast! He's in the penalty area now!]
[Easily shrugs off Mallorca CB Felix, shoots! Ah! Jesus trips over Felix's foot. Ref calls penalty!]
[Mallorca players protest to ref, but clear penalty. As soon as whistle blows, Jesus jumps up, grabs ball, smirks. Smirk is super annoying.]
88th minute of the second half.
Placed the ball on the spot. Glanced at Young-beom.
Young-beom kept a poker face.
Seeing him decided how I'd take the penalty.
Signaled to ref I was ready.
Ref blew the whistle.
Beep-!
I stutter-stepped with feints, pretended a hard shot to throw off the keeper's balance, then finished with a Panenka.
Young-beom, already diving right, lost balance and could only watch the ball float softly in.
Splash-
The moment it crossed the line, he couldn't hide his frustration.
"Hah... Fuck!"
Scored the penalty, no celebration. Ran into goal, grabbed ball, came out.
"Young-beom hyung, I'll be back!"
As I passed him clutching his waist, head down self-loathing...
Thwack-!
Stars exploded.
[Yes... Jesus Joo scores the penalty, making it 4-1. Jesus Joo achieves a poker-trick.]
[Yoo Young-beom keeper, no need to hang head! Perfect performance this match.]
Thwack-!
[Yes, total shots...]
What the hell did I just see? lololololol
Eol dragon ta lolololol
Eolryongta fuck lolololol
Commentary brain froze lololol
[Uh, viewers sorry... Technical issue for a sec.]
[...Yoo Young-beom keeper takes ball from net, runs at Jesus Joo heading to center circle, hits him with so-called Eolryongta.]
[Luckily, Jesus Joo seems fine, jumps right up.]
[Stroking back of head with blank look. Jesus seems a bit flustered too.]
He's laughing? lololol
Commentator, dude's smiling? lololol
Why's he happy getting hit?
[Yoo Young-beom who hit the back of head looks flustered, apologizing nonstop to Jesus. Meanwhile ref approaches, gives red card to Yoo Young-beom.]
[Bold opinion: Felt kinda refreshing. Jesus Joo played so annoyingly well whole match, right?]
[Uh... No matter how annoying, violence on pitch unacceptable. Yoo Young-beom, sent off, apologizes again to Jesus.]
[Jesus seems unfazed. Coolly accepts Yoo Young-beom's apology.]
[Full time. Mallorca vs Real Madrid. Real Madrid crushes Mallorca 4-1, takes 3 points happily.]
[And this match broke a record. Surpassed 47 shots record from 2019 Atalanta-Empoli in Europe's top 5 leagues with 49 shots. 25 on target. Yoo Young-beom's 21 saves set La Liga single-game record.]
[Amazing from Yoo Young-beom, suspension unknown but losing key player hurts Mallorca bad.]
Match end.
Real Madrid 4 : 1 Mallorca.
[Interview room bursts laughing at Jesus Joo's quip, 'Feels fresh being interviewee as victim, not perp.']
[Yoo Young-beom apologizes to Jesus. 'Don't know what got into me. So sorry to Lord Jesus.']
[Jesus accepts Yoo's apology. 'Fully understand his feelings. Sometimes I wanna smack someone's head too.']
[Mallorca prez's pointed joke. 'Yoo, if you want more warnings, we'll build a card museum like Madrid's.']
[Top 5 leagues single-game shots record, La Liga saves record, Jesus poker-trick, Eolryongta. Feast of a match.]
[La Liga single-game saves record Yoo Young-beom, 2-match ban.]
[Jesus Joo says Yoo's ban too harsh on SNS.]
[Mallorca to appeal Yoo ban to RFEF.]
[Caster Park Jun-hyung bold take: 'Yoo's Young-beom smack? Honestly refreshing.']
[2042 FIFA China World Cup Asia Finals, Foes to Teammates: Jesus Joo & Yoo Young-beom!]
After 4-match A-international ban from June friendlies, couldn't play September Asia finals or October 3rd round away vs Syria.
Could play 4th round home vs Iraq, so joined Paju Training Center later than others.
When I arrived, Korea national team had drawn Syria, training hard with renewed resolve.
Beep-!
Watched players sprinting at beep, then bolted.
"Seen Jesus?"
"Haven't seen him since morning?"
Daily cat-and-mouse with coach Utilicke, time flew to 2042 FIFA China World Cup Asia Finals 4th round vs Iraq.
[Hello viewers nationwide. Caster Park Jo-woon here for Asia Finals 4th round Iraq at Cheonan Stadium. Analyst Jang Hyun-ji.]
[Yes, hello. Jang Hyun-ji.]
[Jesus Joo's ban return match vs Iraq. What will he show? Whistle blows, kickoff!]
Match result.
South Korea 4 : 0 Iraq
Goals: Jesus Joo (5, 7, 25) Kim Dong-jun (56)
[Utilicke coach on early Jesus sub: 'Promised sub after hat-trick.']
