In the upcoming episode airing on the 9th, 'Kick a Goal' will showcase Coach Lee Young-pyo's special project, the 'Jeju Training Camp,' designed to secure victory in the 'Korea-Japan Revenge Match.' This camp serves as the final hurdle for the 10 candidates vying for a spot on the 'Lee Young-pyo Team,' as they undergo rigorous training to make the final cut.
Coach Lee Young-pyo, along with Coach Jeon Ga-eul, arrived in Jeju a day early to meticulously plan the training simulations. The suspense builds as we wonder who among the candidates will survive the intense competition to become the final seven warriors.
The candidates face the daunting prospect of 'same-day elimination.' Upon hearing that those eliminated must leave immediately, the team members were taken aback, exclaiming, "We didn't know the coach could be this tough. It's brutal!" In response, Coach Lee firmly stated, "What's more brutal is losing to Japan again," showing his determination as the team's leader.
As the time for the first elimination announcement approached, Coach Lee admitted, "It took a long time to reach a decision. It was incredibly difficult to choose just one." Who will be the first to leave this extreme survival 'Jeju Training Camp'? Tune in to find out.
Meanwhile, Coach Lee provided special mental care for the candidates after their grueling training schedule. He held in-depth one-on-one sessions with the players, aiming to understand their thoughts and build mutual understanding. Former captain Jung Hye-in from the first Korea-Japan match candidly shared, "I personally wanted to keep the original team for this 'revenge' match." Coach Lee concluded the sessions by saying, "I wanted to know what the players were thinking. It was important to connect and understand each other." The Korean team, carefully selected through evaluations and the Jeju camp, is expected to deliver an impressive performance.
Finally, the stage is set for the Korea-Japan rematch, six months in the making. The final seven players of the Korean team, carrying the weight of expectations, are ready to take the field. The players expressed their confidence, saying, "We've practiced a lot, and our practice matches went well, so we're feeling confident." Anticipation is high for the Korean team's epic showdown.
The identities of the seven ultimate warriors who survived the grueling 'Jeju Training Camp' will be revealed on 'Kick a Goal,' airing Wednesday night at 9 PM on the 9th.
