After crushing Iraq 4-0 at home, the media began showering praise on South Korea's performance while raising some questions.
One-Shot, One-Kill: Jesus Joo Records Hat-Trick with Just Three Shots
Damn... Is this Jesus in serious mode?
The guy who's more serious about getting off work than anyone lololol
He rushed off right after being subbed. Where'd he go?
To see his son take his first steps. Flew straight to Madrid.
This guy's like an onion—peel back a layer and there's always something new!
For real, when he first showed up on variety shows trash-talking, no one thought he was this family man type.
Wasn't it someone who said Jesus hyung's prospect roots were trash? Lmao
That was me lololol Yu-na redeemed one lost soul.
(Gonryongpo Jesus Joo) Even redeemed his fashion sense.
Yoo Young-beom Allows Not a Single Goal. Devastated Iraq Striker Hassan Abdullah Clutches His Head
Kyah... He really shut them down hard.
Meanwhile, the defenders are standing around raising their hands for offside like idiots.
Wanna smash their heads in lololol
There's VAR, so just run, you idiots!
They teach you to play on with VAR, so where the hell did these guys learn that crap?
Football Association Reveals World Cup Goal, Netizens Slam It: 'Just the Round of 16?'
Korean legends talking Round of 16 with the world's best striker!
And they've got the best GK in form right now. Round of 16 goal? WTF lol
Sigh, the Japs next door consistently aim for Round of 16.
The gap's too wide now.
Jap bastards might break into quarters in this China World Cup.
wwww Pay respects to the Japanese national team on another level from Korea wwwww
Get lost, slant-eye^^ Next A-match Korea-Japan, Jesus hyung hat-trick in first half, bet.
wwwwww Even Jesus Joo can't beat our supreme Nippon! wwwwww
Ugh, extreme Japan stanning is gross.
Utilike Labeled 'Player Carry'—Can They Prove Themselves Without Jesus Joo and Yoo Young-beom at EAFF East Asian Cup?
Nope~ Without Jesus hyung, it's caress football ON~
Syria match end was pure darkness...
Stop flying eagles, you bald bastard!!!
Guys, you know Kim Dong-jun has the most A-match goals for the national team excluding Jesus hyung right now? Lolololol
What are these sub-striker candidates worse than fullbacks? Might as well put Kim Dong-jun up top.
Title: Utilike Honestly Just Player Carry? I Could Probably Beat Iraq 4-0 as Coach Too
Idiot. Would Jesus hyung listen to you?
Lol for real, Utilike was running his ass off chasing Jesus hyung in training. You got that stamina?
You never know... How do you know Jesus hyung would follow my orders!
Lol Jesus hyung's a real man who charges if he doesn't like it, bet.
Told him if he won't follow orders, go to reserves—and the mad lad actually did lol
She said in a recent interview she was shocked when Jesus hyung actually went to reserves lolol
Looking at her actions, she just seems airheaded. How do you pick a fight with your star player day one?
Interview said Laporta ordered her to undermine Nuñez's influence.
Politics screwing things up in games or real life, always the schemers. True?
Instead of depressing talk, check Jesus hyung's SNS! Yo-han's insanely cute fr
Don't casually drop our next-gen ace's name... Screw that, Yo-han is insanely cute!!!
The day before the Iraq match, Jesus Joo notified Utilike that he had to go to Madrid to see Yo-han's first steps.
"Jesus! Then just play the first half, please, just the first half!"
"No!"
"Then hat-trick! Do a hat-trick and go!"
At Utilike's desperate pleading, Jesus Joo quickly notched a hat-trick in the Iraq game and boarded a direct flight from Incheon Airport to Madrid's Barajas International Airport.
He raced home from the airport like a bullet, kicked open the palace-like front gate, and dashed into the house.
"Yo-han! Daddy's home!"
Yo-han, hearing his dad's voice after so long that it felt unfamiliar, peeked out from behind Yu-na's legs.
That adorable sight stirred complex emotions in him.
Moved by Yo-han's cuteness.
And a pang of hurt that his son didn't recognize him.
"Yo-han, it's Daddy!"
As Jesus Joo wrestled with those feelings, Yu-na pointed at him and said "Daddy." Only then did Yo-han beam and toddle over, throwing himself into Jesus Joo's arms.
"Dada—!"
God, this cuteness isn't from this world!
Jesus Joo made a huge fuss, snapped pics of Yo-han, and posted them on SNS.
"Our Yo-han is too cute! So handsome!"
He grabbed a custom-made soccer ball sized for Yo-han's body and headed to the yard with the mini goalpost.
Yo-han was waddling in front of Jesus Joo, mimicking a dribble.
Waddle waddle—
"Dada—!"
"Oh my god! Dribbling already?! My son's at least a Jesus?!"
Yo-han's clumsy shot rattled the net.
"Oh my god! A shot curling into the corner?! My son's at least a Jesus?!"
Having scored, Yo-han toddled up to Jesus Joo and made a fist bump.
"Dada—!"
"..."
Seeing Yo-han's innocent grin, Jesus Joo was at a loss for words.
'They say kids are mirrors of their parents. Gotta tell Yu-na to stop showing Yo-han my games from now on.'
Joo Yo-han! Confiscate Real Madrid game viewing!
@Lord_Jesus_9 ★ Official
(Yo-han toddling around)
Kyaa— Still too cute even on rewatch! ‾͟͟͞(((ꎤ ><)̂—̳͟͞͞o (Earth)
Purple alien? Stop destroying Earth, idiot
ᕙ(o o)ง
What's that ball between Yo-han's legs?
Hubby custom-ordered a soccer ball resized to Yo-han's height since he kept wanting to play with one while crawling.
Soccer genius from age 0 damn;;
Eldest son of soccer royalty is a cuteness genius damn;;
Born and his dad's already Jesus damn;;
Early education on steroids lololol
Where's Jesus hyung, why's Yu-na noona doing QnA?
Jesus is playing with Yo-han in the yard right now.
Last time, after playing with Yo-han in the yard with the bouncy ball (by my standards), hell began the next day.
Yo-han toddled up with the custom soccer ball.
"Dada—!"
The next day, again with the custom soccer ball.
"Dada—!"
The day after, same thing.
"Dada—!"
What is this? Am I regressing?
Mornings and afternoons at training, evenings back home playing with Yo-han in the yard—time flew by before I knew it.
While Young-beom, who got suspended after that back-of-the-head incident, sat out, Mallorca suffered a shocking defeat to Villarreal.
Mallorca's Due to Yoo Young-beom's Absence? Crushed 5-0 by Villarreal
And the next day.
Valencia match at Real Madrid's home, Santiago Bernabéu.
In the locker room, I had a serious call with Yu-na.
[Just be careful with your celebrations, okay?]
"... It's not up to me. Got it. But if I do something weird, cover Yo-han's eyes quick."
[Don't worry! Last time I was eating and just ran over to cover his eyes.]
"Good. Watch the game well. Gotta hang up soon."
[Okay! Jesus! Fighting for this match too! Love you muah!]
"Yeah, love you too."
After the call ended, Valverde approached my stiff expression cautiously.
"Is there a problem at home?"
"Sigh... Yo-han threw a fit saying he wants to watch my game, so he's watching this one."
Valverde's eyes filled with panic.
"Uh... Alright! With your son watching, how about four goals this match?"
"Hat-trick, sub, final warning."
A brief eye contact with Valverde.
'One more goal and I'll let you off?'
'Rejected. Demand contract fulfillment.'
Valverde sighed and accepted my terms.
"...Fine, hat-trick and I'll sub you. Run hard."
"Yes! Sir!"
The players and Valverde burst out laughing at my playful salute.
I stepped onto the pitch wearing the captain's armband in place of Sergio Pepe, sidelined by an A-match injury. First game with the band, and Yo-han watching—no messing around.
But that resolve faced a serious challenge soon after kickoff.
Valencia's new signing this season, a French holding midfielder, lunged into a dirty tackle while I was dribbling.
"Arrrghhh—!"
As I hit the ground, massive boos echoed through Santiago Bernabéu.
"Boooooo—! Disgusting French prick!"
"Go eat your baguette, you bastard!"
Luis García, who'd come back with a poodle cut from A-match camp, got fired up.
"Puta! No team spirit?!"
Tweet tweet tweeeet!
The ref blew the whistle to calm both teams.
Lying on the pitch, I clutched my right arm, thinking of the armband and Yo-han watching, drawing the character for "endure."
"Endure, hold it in, Jesus—you can endure!"
The Jesus sealed in my right arm was screaming to break free.
