‘Accidental New Avengers’ is set for a nail-biting showdown against the 3rd ranked early football team.
In the JTBC broadcast of ‘Mungchyeo-ya Chanda3’ tonight (12th), the An Jung-hwan team, which is on a record-breaking 8-game winning streak, will engage in a fierce underwater battle against the 3rd ranked early football team, ‘Gangwon Wonju SC’.
Facing an opponent that has recently swept local tournament trophies and established itself as the strongest team in Gangwon Province, coach An Jung-hwan strongly motivates his players by saying, “Conquering the TOP 100 in early football is no different from winning the Champions League.”
The match adds tension with unexpected injury variables. The team’s fastest player, Lee Jun, is suddenly struck in a vital area by a deep tackle from the opponent and collapses on the field, drawing attention. Coach An Jung-hwan and assistant coach Kim Nam-il turn their heads away, while Lee Seok-chan offers a bittersweet consolation, saying, “Time is the best medicine,” which brings laughter to the scene.
Following this, Kim Jin-jja, who had been dominating the midfield with his wide vision and accurate passing, also collapses on the ground, surprising everyone. Kim Jin-jja, who had already sustained an injury from a knee collision in the last match, receives another blow to his knee in this game. It raises curiosity about how coach An Jung-hwan, who faced difficulties last year due to injuries to key players Lim Nam-kyu and Hong Beom-seok, will navigate this crisis.
Meanwhile, the continuous mistakes of ‘Accidental New Avengers’ provoke extreme anger from coach An Jung-hwan. With sudden rain worsening the ground conditions, the players repeatedly miss passes and allow the opponent crucial goal-scoring opportunities, putting them on the defensive.
In particular, Lee Seok-chan, who is currently the top scorer, shows disappointing timing and positioning in his runs, prompting coach An Jung-hwan to strongly reprimand him, saying, “This is when you need to make your runs.” Expectations are high for Lee Seok-chan, known as a ‘player who performs better when scolded,’ to use this criticism as a stepping stone to create a turnaround in the second half.
