As soon as the quarterfinal opponent was confirmed as Japan.
We began training in earnest in preparation for the match against Japan.
There was a lot of noise for a while over the guillotine match between Korea and Japan, which will determine whether they will advance to the FIFA U-20 World Cup.
Coach Han Kwang-jong, who anticipated this situation, blocked all means by which the young players could obtain outside news.
As a result, the players were able to focus on training without feeling burdened.
[Son Jin-ho expresses his determination for the Korea-Japan match. ‘In the match against Japan, we cannot afford to lose even at rock, paper, scissors.’]
Well… I did interviews with the press differently from other players.
Originally, it was a role that the captain should play, but since I am the player who receives the most attention in the U19 national team and feels the least pressure, I ended up being interviewed by the media as the representative.
“As everyone knows, our quarterfinal opponent is Japan, our eternal rival.”
Anyway, the day before the match against Japan, coach Han Kwang-jong called the players to the multipurpose hall, looked at them, and opened his mouth.
“Honestly, except for Jin-ho, Japan’s technique is better than our national team’s.”
As a person who is called the Yi Sun-sin of the soccer world, he had a clear understanding of Korea’s objective strengths and Japan’s weaknesses.
“Should we play the technical football they are good at against Japan?”
“no!”
“Then what should I do?”
“We have to play the football we are good at and target Japan’s weaknesses!”
He asked questions to elicit answers from the players and impressed upon them what they should do on the pitch.
“What kind of soccer are we good at?”
“It’s a quick counterattack with physical power!”
“What is Japan’s weakness?”
“Weak to strong and rough pressure!”
“I am not active during the competition!”
The coach nodded with satisfaction at the players’ answers.
“Yes! Japan is a team whose chronic weaknesses are its lack of physical strength and stamina!”
Although it will change in the future, the one weakness that is always mentioned as Japan’s weakness is its physicality.
“If we can replicate the training we’ve been doing so far on the field, our victory is virtually guaranteed!”
As soon as the coach declared victory, confidence began to rise on the faces of the Korean national team players. The coach looked at me with eyes full of trust.
‘Those eyes… Kihyunshichi?’
Something. It was a look that reminded me of Ki Hyun-shichi, but Director Han Gwang-jong was so talented that it would be rude to compare him to Ki Hyun-shichi, so I shook my head and brushed away Ki Hyun-shichi’s face that came to mind for a moment.
“Well… . Even so, it’s not because Kihyunshichi is incompetent, but he’s a good person.”

“Eachoo─! Who is telling my story?”
Choi Ki-hyun sniffed and muttered softly, then buried his head again and looked at the document.
“Ugh… Why are there so many agents? The offers are pouring in.”
After moving to Germany, Choi Ki-hyun was impressed by Son Jin-ho’s performance.
Seeing Son Jin-ho quickly achieve his dreams, I felt like actively supporting him. Even though I worked overtime, I quickly finished the administrative work so that Son Jin-ho would not be stressed about his stay in Germany.
– Jin-ho, don’t you miss your friends in Korea?
Last time, I was worried that Son Jin-ho might be suffering from homesickness because his expression didn’t look good, so I went to see him when I returned to Korea.
– No, I won’t change it. I have no intention of changing it. Get to work quickly!
Each time, the disciple shook his head firmly.
‘It’s not polite to delve too deeply into someone’s private life. I’ll help you later when you ask for help.’
Choi Ki-hyun nodded.
It wasn’t a big problem, as the bad expression on his face cleared up soon after.
“Is this the guy who tried to bribe me last time? Let’s exclude him.”
Choi Ki-hyun, who had finished his random thoughts, quickly sorted out the agents. Some of them tried to hand him money, but he immediately kicked them out.
In the past, he might have accepted it moderately and said something nice, but now, for Choi Ki-hyun, his desire to see Son Jin-ho succeed has grown more than money.
And above all else.
“The disciple trusted the master and entrusted him with his care, so I can’t sell him out for a small amount of money.”
Choi Ki-Hyeon. He couldn’t do something like hitting the back of the head of a disciple who trusted him.
As I kept getting rid of people who seemed so unqualified, the once huge file shrank in an instant.
“Ha… Why are there so many swindlers? There’s no one we can trust with Jin-ho.”
Choi Ki-hyun shook his head as he looked at the reduced documents. To be honest, he wanted to be the agent himself, but seeing the German training system gave him a new dream.
‘Who can change the youth training system in South Korea? It’s me.’

On his days off, he visited the training grounds of the Bundesliga U-15 youth teams, including Dortmund.
I observed the training method and thought about how to apply it in Korea.
Choi Ki-hyun, who had finished his career as a mediocre high school soccer team coach, was changing his future to that of a soccer administrator.

Monday, October 11th.
Linzi Stadium, Shandong Province, China.
“Fighting, Republic of Korea─!!”
Although the stadium wasn’t full, more spectators than expected came to the stadium.
‘I think about 3,000 people came?’
Could this be the largest audience since the return?
I looked out at the stands and remembered Gyul-woo’s message.
– Winter Winter: I sat down in front of the TV to watch the game!
– Winter, winter: (Teddy bear emoticon watching TV.)
– Winter Winter: It’s okay to lose, but be careful not to get hurt ㅠㅠ
– Hoohoohoohae: Yeah haha I’ll be careful not to get hurt
– Winter Winter: And?
– Hoohoohoohae: I miss winter ㅠㅠ
– Winter, Winter: (Cat Con hugging.)
– Winter Winter: I miss you too ㅠㅠ
It must be early morning in Germany right now, and I can’t help but smile when I imagine Winter waking up and sending me a message of support.
Maybe it was because I also received support from Gyul-woo.
I had a feeling that I wouldn’t lose this match no matter what happened.
‘I can’t lose when you wake up early in the morning to watch the game.’
While I was looking at the Japanese players preparing for kick-off, I renewed my determination.
Beep!!
Referee Abdullah Mohamed Hilal blew his whistle to start the match.

[2010 AFC U19 Championship Korea vs. Japan quarterfinals, the first half begins now. The red uniform is Korea! The blue uniform is Japan!]
[Yes. It’s a very important match because the losing team will not be able to participate in the FIFA U-20 World Cup held in Colombia next year. I hope they can show off their weapons with a little more composure.]
[Yes. As I was speaking, the camera caught the sight of Son Jin-ho, currently considered the most promising prospect.]
[This is Son Jin-ho who showed a very impressive performance in this competition. In some ways, you could say he is the core of Han Kwang-jong-ho’s core.]
[Yes. He is a player with such outstanding talent that the Korea Football Association sent him to Dortmund, Germany to study football. I am looking forward to seeing what kind of performance he will show in this match!]
[Jin-ho Son, who caught the ball, looks forward. Jin-ho Son is also good at long kicks! He kicks it forward!]
[The ball goes to Jung Seung-ryong who is digging into the back space! A one-on-one chance with the goalkeeper!]
[Shoot! Ah! Unfortunately, it hits the side net.]
[It’s a shame, but it was a really good scene. It must have sent a shiver down Japan’s spine.]
[Yes. Jung Seung-ryong’s exquisite movement to penetrate the space behind him was good, but it was Son Jin-ho’s accurate and sharp long pass that made such a scene possible!]
[Yes. A very good pass with a high level of difficulty… Ah! As I was saying that, Son Jin-ho, who had blocked Japan’s pass, started running forward again!]
[Son Jin-ho shows off his extremely technical dribbling skills! He breaks through Japan’s tight defense and enters the penalty box!]
[Shoot! Gooooool! Gooooool! It’s in! The scoring midfielder! Mid-leveler Son Jin-ho succeeds in scoring the first goal!!!]
[South Korea is starting to take the lead against Japan!!]
[Wow! This player is really calm! Why don’t they use him as a striker?!]
[I also have some doubts, but I think he should be used as a midfielder since he is such a versatile player!]

“Whoooooooooooooo─!!”
Having scored with my own ability, I ran straight to the corner flag and celebrated.
“Hoo …
“Sun Jian Hao!! Sun Jian Hao!! (Son Jin Ho!!)”

“Let’s go Korea! Let’s go Korea!! (Go Korea!!)”
I was able to receive enthusiastic support from the Chinese audience.
“… What is this? Is this another world?”
Why are the Chinese cheering for us?
As I returned from the future to the past, I felt something strange as I performed the ceremony.
