In the upcoming episode of SBS's 'Kick a Goal', the fierce battle between these powerhouses in the G League's Group B second match will be unveiled. The storm-bringers 'FC Streaming Fighters' and the myth-makers with their flawless passing game, 'FC Balladream', are going head-to-head.
Two years after lifting the SBS Cup trophy, these top teams are clashing again, with the lower-ranked coaches' pride on the line. Currently, with a win rate of 20% at 9th place, Coach Park Ju-ho and at 18% in 10th place, Coach Hyun Young-min, have sparked an intense rivalry. Particularly, Coach Park quipped, "A 1-2% difference is huge. If your win rate is lower, you shouldn't nag about tactics," bringing laughter to the scene. The outcome of which coach will maintain their pride and have the last laugh is highly anticipated.
The strategic battle between the two coaches is also drawing attention. Hyun Young-min, with his unique set-piece tactics on top of modern football akin to the K League, exudes confidence. On the other hand, 'European football expert' Coach Park Ju-ho has declared his plan to deploy a dedicated defense similar to Atletico Madrid of Spain's La Liga. The position change of defender Kang Mi to goalkeeper is also stirring excitement for a new upset.
However, the 'Streaming Fighters' faced an early crisis with a goal from the opposition right at the start. It raises the question of whether the 'Streaming Fighters' can overcome this challenge and emerge victorious.
This match also marks the debut of promising new players for both teams. Short-form creator Sherry, joining 'FC Streaming Fighters', vows victory, inheriting her soccer-genius father's DNA. Observers have noted, "Her compact and sturdy build reminds us of Maradona," sparing no praise.
For 'FC Balladream', the debut of the shortest member, 'TinkerBen' Ben, and 'Kick a Goal Kid' Jung Ye-won, who grew passionate about soccer from watching the show, is also highly anticipated. Especially, Jung Ye-won's sharp defensive play in her debut has led commentators to say, "She seems so natural, it doesn't feel like her first game. She moves like 'Bone Jung-woo'," earning her the nickname 'Bone Ye-won'. The debut performance of these rookies is eagerly awaited.
The outcome of the second Group B match between 'FC Streaming Fighters' and 'FC Balladream' will be revealed on 'Kick a Goal', airing at 9 PM on the 30th.
