Kick A Goal (Shooting Stars / 골 때리는 그녀들)

Hello, dear viewers.

This is a league of chaos where teams may move up or down,

and remain or leave.

This is the fourth challenge league of "Shooting Stars."

- I'm your host, Lee Su Geun. - I'm Bae Sung Jae, the other host.

The weather has been getting colder by the day lately.

But this Shooting Stars Arena is...

warming up with the heat from the challenge leaguers...

who are working hard to avoid getting kicked out.

For the challenge league, in addition to the team's own performance,

factors such as a goal difference can be influential in deciding the rankings.

So, the performance of each game matters a lot to every team.

The team currently ranked first is FC One the Woman.

It won two times in a row.

Also, in second place, we have FC Top Girl with one win.

It has a goal difference of plus two.

In third place, we have FC Gavengers, which lost once...

and has a goal difference of minus two.

In fourth place, we have FC Anaconda...

with two losses.

The fourth challenge league of "Shooting Stars,"

the female soccer match held by SBS,

is between two teams who will try to avoid getting eliminated.

The match between FC Gavengers and FC Top Girl...

is coming soon.

(The fourth challenge league: FC Gavengers vs. FC One the Woman)

Put it down first.

(FC Gavengers tried to do a buildup that starts from the goalkeeper.)

Okay!

(However, they ran into trouble almost immediately.)

(FC Gavengers wasn't used to the buildup strategy.)

TRUEDY.

(Their failing to build up even cost them a point.)

I don't feel too confident about giving it to the center.

(The players weren't feeling confident about doing buildups.)

(Coach Cho encouraged them to keep trying it.)

She kicks it. Ga Young.

She had to catch it.

(Their first game of the season was an overwhelming defeat.)

(Since the SBS Cup Tournament, they lost 3 games and 13 points in total.)

(At the locker room after losing the first game)

By the way, Coach.

You will come up with a new strategy, right?

Are you going to make us keep doing the buildup?

(The players felt pressured to stick to Coach Cho's strategy.)

For FC Top Girl, we should focus on blocking Bo Kyung.

- We must stop her. - That was how we defeated them last time.

After a series of overwhelming defeats...

with a score of 6 to 2 and that of 4 to 2,

we were all feeling quite sensitive,

which led to a bit of disagreement.

(They were feeling upset and had to say what was on their minds.)

Our opponents aren't doing that well with their buildups.

This is FC Gavengers' first game of the season.

- I'll say only the general things. - Okay.

She went a bit further than she should've.

(Analyzing their weaknesses very carefully)

They don't know how to go the other way.

Don't get there first.

(FC Gavengers isn't good with buildups yet.)

Do you understand what I mean?

You should go up even further.

- Go further in. - Okay.

We'll try to do more fore-checking this time around.

Come up a bit until here.

FC Top Girls didn't focus too much on doing fore-checkings.

But I do see the need to do more...

of fore-checking than we've done in any other game.

We will make sure that FC Gavengers...

won't even get started with their buildups.

We won't even let them get started.

- Don't let the ball go to the striker. - Don't let it happen.

Just make the striker not have anything to do.

Position.

(FC Top Girl starts practicing fore-checking.)

(He gives detailed instructions for the players' positions.)

Go back a bit more. Okay.

Take two steps away from that person.

I put the ball down. Go.

Okay.

That's the way to cut it.

Don't allow them to pass it to that side.

Let's try it on this side.

(MINZY will put pressure on the left path.)

Okay. Go.

I'd want to pass the ball, but you're already up here.

That way is blocked too.

I'd have nowhere to go if you keep that formation.

So, again. Go.

Cut the ball. Because of Dayoung,

- they won't pass it back to that side. - Right.

Look. I'll stay here...

and pass the ball.

Go.

That's the speed.

How was it?

- There was enough time for it, right? - Yes.

(FC Top Girl's youngest members and Hope will block the entire area in the front.)

(They will keep doing forechecking like that.)

- Dayoung. - Do it now.

(After cutting the pass, she even got a chance to score.)

Okay. Nice.

I have a feeling it will be different this time.

The youngest members of our team improved a lot.

Strangely, we've always lost...

in games against FC Gavengers.

But I don't think we will lose this time.

I feel confident that we will win.

It's a revenge match.

(FC Gavengers are in the middle of training.)

- Seung Hye. - Min Kyoung, come to the center.

- Come. - You can't get the ball from the back.

Okay.

Seung Hye, come inside.

Na Mi, you too.

Min Kyoung, come up.

It's us.

- It's confusing. - We're here.

- We have to play offense. - No. That pass was too risky.

That's too risky.

(Their buildup from the back isn't working.)

Hye Sun, I told you not to go there.

(They also keep confusing their positions.)

We are playing offense right now.

Should I stay here?

- Right. Get it from the back. - Hye Sun, what are you doing?

I'm sorry. I missed it.

- I was talking to Coach Cho. - Give it to her.

Give it to Hye Lyun.

Be careful.

No. Don't give it to the goalie.

Hye Sun.

(Their practice ends with a shocking score of 10 to 0.)

Good job.

I wonder how FC Anaconda felt okay about this.

- Okay about what? - I hate losing.

I feel annoyed about getting used to losing.

I feel traumatic.

We need a special measure.

(FC Gavengers feel discouraged as they keep on losing.)

It's hard.

What a long day.

(Coach Cho thinks that it's time for him to talk to the players.)

How did you feel just now?

From some point on, we just lost control.

I think this is what happened.

Back in the day, we always stayed in the same position throughout the game,

so we knew exactly where to stay.

It's nice to try something new,

but we started to get confused since we had to switch positions...

in the middle of a game.

Let's say I had to play with this player.

But after I moved back, I had to adjust to that player again.

I don't think we have enough time to master all these changes.

For other teams, even when they stayed in the same positions,

they could still pass the ball around.

But for us, how should I put it?

I feel pretty insecure about how to position ourselves.

But we aren't playing defense or offense.

While playing offense,

we could help when we see an empty area.

But if you decide to do that,

you will only do that.

Let's say I'm a defender.

Would I pass the ball forward all the time?

I'd get my ball stolen while only trying to go forward.

That is what I've been telling you all the time.

Personally...

Why are you crying?

I'm crying because I feel frustrated.

We lost ten points, right?

Then, why don't we use only half of the court,

play defense first,

and switch to playing offense when we have the ball?

So, you will all come down. Then, switch when you get the ball?

One player could switch between playing offense and defense.

Three players in the middle could play offense.

But once someone takes the ball, we could all go forward.

It's best to try fore-checking and steal the ball.

You can just steal the ball and score.

But here is the bad part about fore-checking.

If everyone goes forward, it will be empty in the back.

No one dares to do fore-checking...

because leaving the back empty is dangerous.

There are pros and cons to all of this.

(The players are afraid of trying new things.)

(Coach Cho feels the need to try something new.)

I thought talking as a group would feel...

quite different from talking individually.

So, to ask how they were feeling,

I decided to hold 1-on-1 interviews with the players.

(Coach Cho has been trying to come up with a new strategy for a long time.)

What are you doing in this small room?

What do you mean? I was analyzing.

What are you doing here all alone?

(Min Kyoung is the first person for the interview.)

This is the zone.

Have a seat, Min Kyoung.
