Kick A Goal (Shooting Stars / 골 때리는 그녀들)

Even the freezing weather can't stop their enthusiasm for soccer.

We're greeting you from the stadium of "Shooting Stars."

I am Lee Su Geun, the commentator for the fourth super league season.

And I am a sports anchor, Bae Sung Jae.

This week, a very exciting game is waiting for us.

It will make the hearts of our team owners race with anticipation.

That's right. The 2023 AFC Qatar Asian Cup will open in two days.

"Shooting Stars" will also cheer for the members of the national team...

- with all our hearts. - Yes.

Let's have a look at the ranks so far.

Here is the current rank of Group A.

In first place is FC Actionista.

They won two games...

and secured their spot in the semifinals already as the number one in their group.

Following are FC National Team Family and FC Tiger Butterfly.

They will have a fierce battle today...

for the remaining spot in the semifinals.

Needless to say, the winner of today's game will go to the semifinals.

And the loser has to play the fifth-place match.

Please stay tuned for the final match of Group A of the SBS Cup Tournament...

between FC Tiger Butterfly and FC National Team Family.

(The first game of FC Tiger Butterfly stirred the other teams up.)

(FC Tiger Butterfly has returned with new members,)

(the dancers who can move like butterflies.)

(The first newbie of the team, Kang Bo Ram)

(The second newbie of the team, Lee Seung Yeon)

(The new fantastic duo was building teamwork.)

(However, even the veterans of "Shooting Stars" can't avoid cramps.)

(The newcomers were even more susceptible since they were not used to getting them.)

For the past 2 to 3 days, I've tried to keep myself hydrated.

And I must have seemed very pathetic, fallen on the ground due to the cramps...

because Ju Yeon from the Streaming Fighter gave me magnesium tablets as a present.

So, I've been taking them as well.

I've been working out a lot to develop my physical strength.

And I've been drinking a lot of water as well.

I ate a lot of bananas too.

I thought maybe my socks were too tight,

so I even cut all of them. I did a lot of things.

- We must have confidence. - It goes the same for both them and us.

The winner advances, and the loser drops.

It's do or die.

If we lose, it's the end.

There's nowhere to step back anymore.

Anyway, if we lose the second match...

- We shouldn't. - Right.

We will no longer have any chances.

- We won't have any other opportunities. - We won't have more chances.

Okay.

This is how we did it last time. The diamond formation.

But this time, our strategies will change like this.

We'll go with the two-two formation. You practiced it a lot.

Seung Yeon will have to go in offense more often.

- Do you know what hybrid means? - Yes.

Yes. You must do both offense and defense like a hybrid car.

- I want you to play with that pattern. - Okay.

Also, from my point of view,

the opponents might play more aggressively this time.

Bo Ram will play the most important role here.

When three opponents come up to our half,

we'll cut it and make a counterattack right away.

- Do you understand? - Yes.

Okay.

(The Tiger Butterfly changes its formation completely to play more aggressively.)

I think we'll be able to play more aggressively...

compared to our first game.

You'll see more tiki-takas between Bo Ram and Seung Yeon.

Okay.

Seung Yeon, that was nice!

(They train harder to adapt themselves to the two-two formation.)

You can pass to the back.

- To the back. That's right. - Hey.

Hey.

- Stay calm. - That's nice!

- Nice! - That's right!

Seung Yeon, nice!

- Nice. - That was good.

Good job.

Bo Ram, spread out. That's right.

Seung Yeon is coming up.

That's right. One more time.

That's right. One more time.

(She advances right in front of the goal thanks to the tiki-taka with Bo Ram.)

Seung Yeon, behind you.

Good.

Both FC National Team Family and we are in the same situation.

So, I think there's no other option than to go with an offensive play.

The coach changed my position so that I could play more aggressively...

and not remain in defense all the time.

I think I'll be able to do better and therefore I'm excited.

This time, we'll make sure not to get cramps...

and to stay strong physically and mentally.

We're confident we can win.

In fact, after last game, we were very daunted and wanted to go home.

- Because we felt very guilty. - Right.

But the coach actually gathered us.

He said we must get rid of our regrets, especially in situations like this.

So, we gathered...

and had a lot of meetings and conversations.

We talked a lot...

about what we should do during a game...

and how to react to the opponents' skills.

I think we now have something...

that awakens us, makes us think more, and develops our team for the better.

We felt very thankful that the coach made such an occasion for us.

- And I think we have a stronger bond now. - Right.

That's so true.

I can say confidently...

that our team is improving as a whole.

- I think we have high chances of winning. - Right.

So, we prepared a lot for it.

- We must win, no matter what. - Okay.

See it as a process of winning the championship.

It won't be easy to win against them.

Their pivot players are...

the two new members, Bo Ram and Seung Yeon.

If they have open space, they can kick and rush very quickly.

So, we're going to man-mark them right from the start.

You must mark Bo Ram, no matter what.

Here's the reason why.

Bo Ram and Seung Yeon both had cramps on that day.

(The newbies of the Tiger Butterfly had issues due to lack of stamina.)

- Do you know what I mean? - Yes.

You must destroy them by making them run from the beginning.

Okay? Then, they're going to be exhausted in the second half...

- and lose concentration. - Okay.

- Do you understand? - Yes.

Regarding the formations,

when we need to score, we can go with the one-three formation.

How do we do it? Three of you will fore-check all at once.

This is the strategy.

We won't play defensively.

Let's make them shiver by FC National Team Family's plays.

That's the point of our game.

- Do you understand? - Yes.

I want to make them shiver.

(They will make a drastic move and place three players on the offensive.)

We focused more on scoring goals and passing than defensive skills.

Since I'm fully recovered, I'll be able to run even faster.

We're practicing a lot of passing and penetrating skills.

We're all eager to make goals.

So, whenever we have a chance, we're going to score.

Snatch the ball.

Hee Jung, go!

Do it with her, Min Ji! You should do it!

- Go forward, Min Ji! - Go, Min Ji.

(Min Ji and the Sisters are practicing tiki-taka with each other.)

Pass it to her! That's right! Do it!

- That's right! - Do it!

- Okay. She's next to you. - Good job.

- Keep doing it like that. - Okay.

Good job.

Bo Ram, go further upward.

(The final war of the two offensive teams will break out soon!)

(To protect the players from the cold weather,)

(we have come back to the "Shooting Stars" stadium.)

- We've improved a lot. - Yes. I know.

- We improved. - In fact...

We've improved so much compared to our first game.

- I watched our warm-up match again. - Me too.

And I could see that we've changed a lot.

We move much differently than before.

Hee Chan made a goal.

- Yes. - Did you watch it?

- Shouldn't we do a goal celebration? - Did he make a goal?

- He scored a goal earlier. - You should do a celebration.

- His goal celebration is like this. - Really?

(The Korean bull sent his energy to the Mini-bull.)

His game started at five.

How cool.

Soccer players are the coolest before they retire.

They're still cool now, although they retired.

Are you sure about that?

Okay.

Prepare about five goal celebrations.

Five?

What I'm worried about is...

that Bo Ram will come forward.

She might come deep in our half.

Last time, when He In was on the right side,

Seung Hee man-marked her. Do you remember?

It actually worked.

She couldn't play as usual.

If we do it like that, we'll have a chance.

Keep in mind that it's important...

for Mi Hae, Min Ji, and Hee Jung to go in...

and make Bo Ram and Seung Yeon run even more than last time.

Just destroy them from the start by making them run all the time.

- We'll just attack. - We must attack, nothing else.

- But remember. - Yes.

Today's game will decide whether we win or get relegated.

- It's a very important game. - Okay.

He's right.

- Let's go. - We're going now, right?

Seung Hee. Bo Ram will go on the offensive first.

- Is she going on the offensive? - Yes.

So, you should man-mark her.

- Like you chained He In last time. - Okay.

Look, Bo Ram.

She's going to mark you man-to-man.

- Who is she? - She's called Seung Hee.
