Kick A Goal (Shooting Stars / 골 때리는 그녀들)

Good evening, viewer team owners.

We've all dreamt of this day.

A league of dreamlike squads, the All-Star league,

has opened for the first time in "Shooting Stars" history.

That's right. This All-Star league will be held...

with the all-time best players in "Shooting Stars."

Moreover, the four great commanders...

who have won the championship will be competing with their names and pride.

The league will be a one-time tournament,

and there will be a total of three matches.

That's right.

The first champion of the All-Stars league will be named after the name of its coach.

- Right. - So, it will be very honorable.

He'll be able to crave his name into history as the first champion.

Today's game is between FC Choi Sung Yong and FC Baek Ji Hoon.

The two coaches, who will play the first game of the All-Star league,

have never competed before. They've never met in a game before.

But they had a special connection in the past.

That's right. Before 2006, when Sung Yong transferred...

from Suwon Samsung Bluewings to the Japanese league,

he used the uniform number 20.

Then, when Ji Hoon newly joined the team,

he unavoidably succeeded the number since it was left over.

- He succeeded it unwillingly. - That's correct.

Basically, their ill-fated relationship began 19 years ago.

- Right. It's almost ingrained. - Yes. "Unwillingly."

(The beginning of their connection, Suwon Samsung Bluewings)

(The two legendary players of this famous soccer team)

(Baek Ji Hoon, number 20, the bluebird of victory)

(Choi Sung Yong, the original number 20, a player who became the deputy coach)

(Who will be the winner of the Suwon battle,)

(One week after the establishment of the All-Star league teams)

You're all here.

Even though I begged you not to.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

Please come in.

(The original number 20 of Suwon Samsung, Coach Choi Sung Yong)

- Honey! - Yes.

They're already here.

They're here.

(Coach Choi is talking with someone in Japanese.)

Good morning!

She's my wife.

(She used to be a very famous actress in Japan.)

(She even featured in a Korean series once.)

(At the time, Mihoko also worked as a reporter.)

For the the 2002 World Cup co-hosted by Korea and Japan,

she visited Korea to interview the Korean players with NHK.

And she supported me,

so I got interested in her.

(They even have two sons, who have inherited Sung Yong's soccer skills.)

But this is...

Isn't this roasted laver?

- I have these too. Yes. - You packed them like this.

What are you preparing so much?

We worked a lot.

I helped her too.

I made this.

- He helped a lot with seasoning. - Yes.

- This is made with kimchi, spam... - And spam.

- and tuna. - Right.

I mean, I made about 50 of them.

- But there is Heebab. - Right. We have Heebab on our team.

I watched a video of her eating gimbap.

- And a video of her eating jjajangmyeon. - Yes.

I thought she was done eating,

but then she started over.

So, I prepared a lot for her, but I'm still worried.

She won't be able to eat so much because she needs to work out.

- She made sandwiches before. - Yes.

- And cookies. - Cookies.

- I sometimes bake some cake too. - She likes baking.

- She likes cooking. - I enjoy it.

But today,

it was my first time cooking...

- such a huge portion. - Right. It was her first time.

So, I'm worried about the seasoning.

I told her it was a bit too salty. But I'm not sure...

- how the players would find it. - I like that it's a bit salty.

I thought it was fine.

Ji Eon, come and try one.

Try one.

I guess you'll like the one with spam better.

Where is his older brother?

He's having a match today.

(Their oldest son, Ji Hyo, plays for Daedong Taxation High School.)

(Their youngest son, Ji Eon, plays in the U-15 Group of Suwon Samsung.)

He's taking a bite.

- How is it? - It's salty.

- Really? - How's it?

It's salty, right?

- I told you. - The rice is too salty.

Usually, I don't think about such things and just make them whatever.

But today, I wanted to make it delicious. You know the salt has to be 0.3 percent...

- of the rice. - Yes.

You know I'm weak with numbers.

- So, I... - Maybe you did the calculation wrong.

- I guess so. - With the ratio.

Eat it after sweating a lot. That's how they do in Japan.

Athletes need to have a lot of salt before playing games.

- Yes. - So, we sometimes eat salty food.

- Especially in summer, - That's right, honey.

we even put a piece of salt in our mouths.

- But it's not so warm right now. - But...

for real, I...

- It would be nice if it were summer. - It would have been nice in summer.

We wonder if you watched your father on "Shooting Stars" a lot.

We saw him doing something for his team here.

I think he was planning some tactics for the new team.

We had fun working on the new tactics together last night.

Who are you most excited to watch in his new team?

I'll tell you who is on the team.

There are He In, Karain, Heebab,

Ga Young, Kathy, and Seung Yeon.

He In.

(The son of the great commander picks Heckham.)

Then, what do you think our score will be?

- I think it will be 5 to 2. - A score of 5 to 2?

That's great.

You mean I'll get five points, right?

Okay.

(What butterfly effect will Ji Eon's prediction bring...)

What's this on the door?

- Do you mean this poster? - Yes.

It's a picture of me when I was coaching Suwon Samsung.

A lot of the coaches from "Shooting Stars" are here.

Here are Ji Hoon and Beom Seok.

I used to go like, "Ji Hoon, you punk!"

"Beom Seok, you little!" I used to talk to them so casually.

Here is Tae Se as well.

Our team used to do very well at this time.

What a connection I have with Ji Hoon.

We used to be a teacher and a student.

And now we're both coaches, competing against each other.

And after 2002, I went back to Suwon Samsung.

This is my uniform from that time with the back number 20.

In fact, Ji Hoon succeeded my number.

As you can see in the poster. But as soon as he joined the team,

he became the bluebird.

I knew him as the bluebird of victory.

He was a great player.

A very good one.

However, I'm sure my uniform number 20...

and his uniform number 20 are very different.

I'm hoping to prove that.

(Suwon World Cup Stadium, the beginning of the Suwon battle)

(Someone is at a corner of the stadium's parking lot.)

Where shall I put them?

- Are they all in frame? - Yes. Please put them here.

Okay.

First of all,

I think this is the uniform I wore when we won the championship.

And this is the picture I took after winning the championship.

(Now that he's back to his home stadium, he's full of sel-love.)

Look at how bright my smile is.

And this is what I got...

on my retirement ceremony.

I got it from my team.

I can say that my entire career as a soccer player was spent in Suwon.

I played most of my games here.

Let's go in.

(Let's go in because I still have a lot more to show off.)

This is when I participated in the 2006 World Cup in Germany.

It was my first time participating in the World Cup.

I think I was 21 or 22 at that time.

There were Eul Yong, Jin Chul,

Jae Jin, and Young Pyo on my team.

The four of them were there.

And Coach Advocaat,

though I say it,

used to like me so much.

And on a side note,

he asked me if I'd like to follow him to Russia after the World Cup.

But then he took the other two players.

I mean, I'm sure you aren't going to air this anyway,

but this is the story behind the 2006 World Cup.

Whenever I reached this point, my heart started to pump so hard.

This is where you prepare yourself to be on the field.

When I was on the team, there were so many audiences.

Since I played before so many people every single time,

I always had an adrenaline rush.

(Ji Hoon, the bluebird, who flew across the field amidst hearty cheers...)

(from the audience, also retired to their cheers.)

("The Retirement of Ji Hoon, the Bluebird of Victory")

("Ji Hoon thanks his fans for their love upon his retirement.")

I play soccer with skills.

(FC Baek Ji Hoon garnered huge attention by recruiting skillful players.)

- You look the coldest right now. - What?

No, you look really cold.

I have a lot of innerwear.

But I really wonder who they could be.

I wonder which defenders we have.

- Can you guess? - Our defenders?

- Maybe Kyung Hee? - Do we have any defenders?

- Look! - Who is it?
