History[]
Battle of World Youth arc[]
Chapter of the Asian Youth Championship
Because of an injury, the ace Cha In-cheon could not play. Still, the South Korean youth team made it through the 1st round of the Asian preliminaries.
Cha's absence makes things more difficult for the team in the second round. They only manage to tie against Iraq Youth in the group stage; and later, during the semifinals, they are put in a tough situation, Saudi Arabia is leading 1-0 and has switched to a double stopper formation to protect the lead. At this point, South Korea decides to let Cha plays.
Cha ties the game with a middle shot. Later, just before the end of the game, Cha's leg breaks again after a clash with Mark Owairan. The former still manages to pass to Lee, who gets past Vulcan and then scores with a Low Altitude Overhead Kick. South Korea advances to the finals, and acquires the right to participate in the World Youth.
The final match is against Japan. During the match, Lee tries to stop Tsubasa Ozora, but the latter gets past Lee with a combi play with Taro Misaki. In the end, South Korea lose 0-2.
South Korea is in the same group with Netherlands, Argentina and Ghana. Even though Cha's in perfect condition now, South Korea is unable to go up against strong teams like Netherlands and Argentina, and is eliminated after the group stage.
Techniques[]
- Technical Dribble: He fakes out the first defender with a graceful left-to-right step, and breaks away from the second, shifting his weight in a skilful dodge.
- Overhead Kick: Skill by shooting the ball in mid-air.
- Low-Flying Overhead Kick: An overhead kick that's used at just above ground level when the ball is very low in the air. It takes opponents by surprise, as they would never except an overhead kick to be used at such a low height.
