Kick A Goal (Shooting Stars / 골 때리는 그녀들)

(The death match will decide their promotion and relegation.)

(The super league is where you can have the honor of champion.)

(The challenge league is the wild world where you struggle to survive.)

(The super league and the challenge league clash.)

(It's an intense battle to reach a higher place.)

In the history of "Shooting Stars..."

Hot!

It's the hottest match!

- The advancement playoff is coming soon. - That's Right.

The two teams who will confront each other in this unpredictable match are...

FC Gavengers. who won the last fifth-place match,

(FC Gavengers will play in an advancement playoff twice in a row.)

and FC Streaming Fighter. who placed second in the challenge league.

Now that's how a game is supposed to run.

Our opponents have been decided. Coach.

- We'll play against FC Gavengers. - If so, we...

Let's go against FC Gavengers!

First. I'll increase my stamina.

- I'll become bigger too. - Okay.

(FC Streaming Fighter is one step closer to moving up to the super league.)

- Okay. - Eat all you want and bulk up.

I'm so scared.

(They've never played against a team in the super league.)

I'm terrified.

They are too feisty. should I say?

So I feel a bit intimidated.

But we've always bloomed...

in the midst of all the hardship and nervousness.

So I think we'll do well.

It's about the spirit. We have nothing to lose.

Even if we lose. we won't be worse off.

But if FC Gavengers lose.

they will be demoted.

This is a chance for us to move up. but the other team is at risk of demotion.

So I assume they will be under greater pressure.

Have a seat in the front.

Okay.

What do you think about FC Streaming Fighter?

Their level is somewhere in the middle. which makes it confusing.

I'm not sure about what to do with them.

- They train so hard. - I hear they do.

Also. they are really young.

They will have twice as much energy as we do.

This is what I think.

They can run the most out of all teams in "Shooting Stars."

Even more than FC World Class?

- They run so much. - Even more.

They run even more than FC World Class.

Also. this is something else they are good at.

They fight.

They are aggressive.

They are fast. young. most active.

and willing to put up with a fight.

They're young fighters.

They are the opposite of me.

(Former member of the 707th Special Mission Group)

(She is fully equipped with the unrelenting spirit of a soldier.)

(In the rectangular ring called a soccer field,)

(they never give up and keep on moving forward.)

(They are fighters with hearts like beasts.)

(The go-getters in the very back of the field)

(She can also be counted on to give great commands.)

(With an energetic spirit. they will try to move up to the super league!)

(FC Gavengers must go against these young fighters.)

Min also hurt her finger.

It wasn't feeling great. to begin with.

but in the fifth-place match.

it got fractured. right?

Yes.

If we lose this playoff.

we will be losing to a newly-formed team.

That's all there is to it.

Not having a goalie...

or not having a substitute won't matter at all.

Do you know what I mean?

If she can't play in the next game.

the five of you will have to play the whole time.

You will have to prepare for that.

So Min Kyoung may need to be a goalie.

Did Min Kyoung know about this?

- Did you hear it just now? - She heard it just now.

- I think... - You didn't talk about this yet, right?

he came up with that thought on his own.

Last time.

Min got kicked out for a while.

- In the first game... - Min Kyoung was our goalie at the time.

- That's right. - That was when we lost a goal.

- Two goals. - Right.

It was a traumatic experience.

I'm really scared.

The opposing team scored two goals.

The shock from having that happen in such a short time...

made me realize it was really hard to be a goalie.

It is a position that requires a long time and effort.

But I'm the captain.

I have to make it happen.

I hate this tension so much.

It's that tension of not knowing when the ball will come to you.

(Min Kyoung stays calm and keeps practicing.)

(Captain Min Kyoung accomplishes whatever she sets her mind to.)

(She tries hard to make up for Min's absence.)

It will be very important to protect the goalpost as best as we can.

We will need to become more strategic.

They will run out of energy by the end.

and in that case. we will try to score...

by doing set pieces.

Look.

FC Streaming Fighters saw our set pieces.

(In the last fifth-place match of FC Gavengers against FC Top Girl)

(FC Gavengers utilized a lot of set pieces.)

(FC Streaming Fighter observed all the set pieces very carefully.)

Stand here and pass it to Na Mi. Okay?

- Hop over. - Okay.

- I'll hop over. - Yes.

- Right. - Stand like this.

It's the same. It's Zero Two.

- But what will Hye Sun do? - Inside.

Hye Sun. the other way. Okay?

Hop over.

- Okay. - Good.

(After Seung Hye passes. Eun Young will pass the ball...)

(to Na Mi. and Na Mi will pass it to Hye Sun.)

- Okay? - Nice.

- Let's do it stronger. - Both of you will play offense.

- Okay? - Kick it hard.

I thought I should give all players.

both strikers and defenders. a chance to score.

So I thought about how to give each player a chance to score...

and realized it'd be possible if we passed each other the ball...

in a promised set of moves.

So we practiced doing many set pieces.

Okay.

I believe FC Gavengers must remain in the super league.

I know it'll be hard.

But the players and I will try our best...

to overcome this crisis...

and remain in the super league.

(Are you worried about Coach Lee's set pieces?)

Am I worried?

Worried?

I probably should worry about them.

Set pieces will give them many chances to score.

So I gave my players a lesson on what to do when their opponents...

fake their moves.

When they fake their moves. don't fall for them.

- Okay. - I told you already.

- If you stand in your positions. - Okay.

when you're doing well in your positions.

your opponents will come to where you are.

But you should get ready for what's coming next.

When the ball comes to you...

(Coach Choi deserves the credit for the team's big improvement.)

(He taught them Jin Chul Pressing. tailored to them,)

(and aggressive buildup to intimidate the opponent.)

Don't push. Just place it on top.

Just place this on it.

Just put it. Touch it.

- Use only one finger. - Oh, okay.

Just poke.

Push it away.

You know how annoying this can be?

I agree. This will feel really annoying.

- It would be so annoying. - I like it.

This should be our winning move.

Depending on how the finger moves. you'll feel the player's movements.

You will know where she tries to go.

If she goes back. you will feel it on your finger.

Then. what do you do?

Your body will move along naturally.

Put your finger on me.

Really?

That was how my finger got injured.

- It happened during the Champions League. - You should pull your finger back fast.

It was during a match against Syria.

I tried to push through. but my opponent wouldn't let go.

So it got pulled off and became like this.

I had no other choice.

- You had to put it back. right? - I pulled it out further and put it back.

You don't have to go that far.

Not on this show.

I believe our team is better at playing defense...

than any other team.

We have a very tough defensive line.

It's been proved many times.

So I think we'll definitely be able to defend our goalpost.

I think of every game as war.

If a ball passes through me. I regard it as the enemy invading Korea.
