Kick A Goal (Shooting Stars / 골 때리는 그녀들)

(and refreshing breezes announce the arrival of autumn.)

(Shooting Stars Arena in Ansan, Gyeonggi-do)

It's a never-ending war of those with an unstoppable passion for soccer.

It's the female soccer match held by SBS.

It's "Shooting Stars." I'm your host, Lee Su Geun.

I'm Sung Jae, the other host.

After the dynamic SBS Cup Tournament,

we've returned to the Shooting Stars Arena,

where the fourth super-challenge league will begin.

It's the challenge league of the fourth super-challenge league.

Let me introduce four teams in the challenge league.

They are the teams...

who have shockingly been demoted in the previous season.

They are FC Gavengers and FC Top Girl,

who are very determined to win.

(FC Top Girl, demoted after placing sixth in the third super league)

Also, there is FC On the Woman, who has always finished third...

in the challenge league.

There is also FC Anaconda, who came back stronger...

after getting eliminated.

These four teams will play in a round-robin tournament.

(It's a cruel tournament where one team must be eliminated.)

Unfortunately, in accordance with the show's rule, FC Balladream...

Dear viewers, it's so unfortunate. We won't get to see them this season.

But they should not stop training.

I've been telling them that all the time.

- I agree. - Right?

The long-awaited opening game of the fourth challenge league is...

a match between FC Top Girl and FC Anaconda.

It's coming soon.

(How have you been since the SBS Cup Tournament?)

- After the SBS Cup Tournament ended? - Yes.

We've been training together...

since two days after it was over.

We were training for the upcoming challenge league.

Actually, in the SBS Cup Tournament, we were pretty impressed ourselves.

We hadn't had much time to work with the new members either.

(In the SBS Cup Tournament, the new members did surprisingly well.)

(Hye Ji played strong defense against Kyoung Seo, the ace player.)

(Na Yeon's defensive skills were unstoppable.)

(FC Anaconda showed how tough they were against the SBS Cup Tournament champion.)

(They owe it to Coach Lee, who solidified their teamwork in a short time.)

I believe FC Anaconda was the only team...

that was especially hard for FC Balladream to beat.

I believe FC Anaconda is now different from the way they were...

in the previous season when they got eliminated from the league.

Our goal was actually to do well in the challenge league.

I have a feeling...

that we'll make something happen this season.

We can't be kicked out again...

in this challenge league.

We trained as a team over 50 times.

We've trained almost every day until today.

We've probably had about 100 training sessions.

(After getting eliminated, they became more desperate to do well in this season.)

Okay.

- You heard the news, right? - Yes.

- Si Eun. - Yes.

- Si Eun injured her knee. - Right.

It's more important that she stays healthy...

than we win.

While Si Eun takes a break, we've invited a substitute.

- Where will she show up? - Who will it be?

She's the commentator from the Korea Football Association.

- She's a soccer commentator. - It's awesome.

She's an insider.

- She's an insider. - Right. We should know her.

But she's a commentator.

- She isn't a soccer player, so... - But she's watched many games, right?

- She wouldn't be clueless. - In any case, she said she loved soccer.

- That's great. - Let us introduce our substitute.

- Hello. - Welcome.

(Park Ji Hye, Korea Football Association's commentator)

- It's nice to meet you. - It's been a while.

Hello, it's great to be here.

I'm Ji Hye, and I'm a commentator who will be joining FC Anaconda.

As a fellow commentator, Coach Lee and I have worked together...

in hosting an event.

Actually, I haven't played soccer for that long.

But I've watched soccer for many years.

I think for about ten years?

I began playing soccer in February.

When I practice in the morning, I practice again in the afternoon.

I played soccer at least once every day.

Sometimes, I've played it 2 times.

I've even played 3 times when there was a group training session.

- Welcome. - It's great.

I'm Park Ji Hye, and I've been working as part of the Korea Football Association.

- I've worked with Coach Lee in an event. - So, you guys have met before.

It was an honor to have done that.

She'll play Si Eun's role.

- She will be a center-back. - Center-back.

- Sweeper. - Sweeper.

She will defend the goalie in the back...

and support the midfielder in the front.

- I believe Ji Hye will... - That position is so crucial.

do a good job of playing that role.

- I feel so assured. - Me too.

Get ready to put pressure.

(They practice the new defense formation with their new center-back.)

- Are we doing Number One? - One...

Let's try positioning first.

- One. - One.

- Yoon Ju. - One.

- Hye Ji, go back a bit. - Over here?

Two.

(Ji Hye adjusts the players' positions from the back.)

Tae Jin, stay in the front.

Yoon Ju. Three.

(They form a strong defense shape with good positioning skills.)

Tae Jin.

- Hye Ji. - Hye Ji?

- That's it. Got it? - Yes.

You go there. Yoon Ju can go down.

We needed to be noisy...

and have the players in the back telling others what to do.

- Tae Jin, go to the front. - That was something we needed.

Whenever we played, people said we were too quiet.

We needed to communicate with each other more.

And here we have the commentator from the Korea Football Association.

- She's good, indeed. - She's different.

She knows a lot about soccer.

She is different as a commentator who has watched a lot of soccer.

It's 2-on-2, but let me tell you how it should be at first.

(Here comes Coach Lee's secret weapon for defeating FC Top Girl.)

Hye Ji will mark Bo Kyung no matter what happens.

- Okay? Man-mark her. - Okay.

- Man-mark her, I see. - Hye Ji will be in charge of her.

Man-marking isn't about blocking someone after that person takes the ball.

- Man-marking is about staying close... - Don't let her take the ball at all.

You shouldn't let the ball come to her.

Bo Kyung will run around to get the ball.

But she shouldn't be able to get it.

- That's the best way to play defense. - That means you're very good.

Hye Ji man-marked Kyoung Seo last time,

and she did quite well.

So I'll make Hye Ji take care of Bo Kyung.

Take that pose. Then, go.

(His man-marking lesson continues after the group training session.)

- Again. Turn. - Should I hurry?

When the ball comes, your core should be lower than hers.

Lower yourself and use your shoulder.

That's good.

- Push here to push her away. - Okay.

I shouldn't let her roam freely, even when she doesn't have the ball.

- Right. - I should keep putting pressure on her.

It won't be easy.

I like Bo Kyung's songs very much.

- Don't think you're alone - Don't think you're alone

I'll make that be a song about her.

I won't be alone.

I will never let go of her, no matter what happens.

So, Bo Kyung will never stay alone.

I will always be by her side.

(Shooting Stars Arena holds a special place in FC Top Girl's heart.)

Ansan is the place where we won seven times in a row...

and received our trophy.

We've made a lot of good memories here.

Everyone agrees with me that we're luckier here than in the other stadium.

Everyone has been looking forward to making this...

a place where we achieved another victory.

(There is another reason to raise our expectations for them.)

(FC Top Girl's secret weapon is their new member.)

Hello, I'm Taemi, and I'm a new member of FC Top Girl.

I'm so happy to be here. I'll do my best.

(She made her public appearance with a youthful look.)

As an athlete, I won the World Tournament in 2007.

(In addition to her martial arts skills, she's got an amazing voice.)

(A K-pop group that also performs Taekwondo moves)

We've been to over 200 countries.

We've mostly been doing Taekwondo, the pride of Korea,

and communicating with the public through it.

(As a Taekwondo player, she is very athletic.)

(Taemi's first pitch surprises the world with her jumping roundhouse kick.)

(Online communities in Europe and the US are crazy about Taemi's first pitch.)

I filmed a movie in Thailand.

It was produced jointly by Korea and Thailand.

I played a girl who was athletic...

and played soccer.

That was when I first learned to play soccer.

(She dribbles and shoots like she is doing Taekwondo.)

Our goalie couldn't join us this season.

So, to fill in for her,

Taemi, our new member, will be joining us.

Currently, Taemi has been our goalkeeper.

She's been our gatekeeper.

Taemi used to be a professional athlete.

Since she does Taekwondo,

she isn't as skilled with her hands.

(He trained Ayumi to become Ayumi the Great.)

(He has the Midas touch when it comes to training goalkeepers.)

(Taemi is the new student of Jin Chul's school for goalies.)

Stop it.

Go.

Go. This way. Okay.

I'm positioned as a goalie, which I've never done it before.

It was my first time,

and I didn't even know the rules very well.

I had a lot of difficulties.

You have to decide to either catch it or send it out.
