Every Friday at 6 p.m. 'Bolundier', which is released on YouTube, Lee Young-pyo's director and captain 'Youngpyo Team' has recorded a record of 1 win and 1 loss so far. Kim Young-kwang, who faced Korea's strongest futsal club 'Kimpo Zest' in the first inning, failed to adapt to the futsal rules at the beginning of the game and allowed a goal in vain, and suffered a humiliation (?) of giving up five goals to the opponent's strong attack. However, Kim Young-kwang, who quickly adapted to futsal, blocked all heavy shots from active firefighters in the second inning against the second opponent 'Gyeonggi Northern Fire Team', leading to a 4:0 victory, showing his reliable goal.
The members of the "Youngpyo Team" include "Korean soccer legend" Lee Young-pyo, Hyun Young-min, Kim Young-kwang, Jeong Dae-se, Jeon Ga-eul, and "Football idol" Nam Woo-hyun, a former soccer player, and Lee Jung-jin, a YouTuber. Kim Young-kwang, who has the glorious nickname of 'Glory Kim', wondered if he was playing in a smaller goalpost and a smaller stadium than soccer"It's fun because there are more goals than soccer," he said, showing a deep fascination with futsal.
However, Kim Young-kwang's passionate play led to injuries due to Golei throwing his body. He "It's a man-made lawn, so my knees and elbows are all cracked. I'm okay, but I was embarrassed that other people were worried about me because there was blood on it," he said shyly. Kim Young-kwang, who finished his career in January, also showed humility, saying, `I feel like I'm becoming a normal person after retiring.' At the same time, "Youngpyo only saw defenders, but he was surprised because he had good offense." I wonder if the other team let their guard down because of their old age...He was busy praising captain Lee Young-pyo, who was the "original Taegeuk Warrior".
It was the "strongest shield" that blocked the wide soccer goalpost, but the interview full text of Kim Young-kwang, who came closer with a fearless anti-war beauty in front of the goal less than half of the time, will be released.
Q. What made you join Polundier, is there a reason why you thought you must do it?
A. It's a futsal that's different from soccer, and I was so excited to play against the good futsal teams across the country. Also, I thought it would be fun because my colleagues who appear together are all close people.
Q. What are the charms of 'Footsal' that are different from soccer?
A. It is a game in which a goal is scored in a much smaller goal than a soccer goal. I was curious about playing in a small stadium and wanted to feel what it would be like. One attraction I can tell you is that more goals are scored than soccer, so it's fun. I think that's the charm of futsal.
Q. What is difficult about playing futsal unlike soccer?
A. I had to play on artificial turf, so my knees and elbows were all cracked. I'm okay, but I was embarrassed that people were worried because there was blood on it.
Q. How do you feel about playing with the general public club team?
A. I was very embarrassed because my skills were better than I thought. I even thought I wouldn't eat a goal because it was a small goal, but I did. I felt that the members of the general public club were not good enough.
Q. Is there a member who showed the most unexpected appearance among the players you met in this 'Paulundier', a player who can be called 'Secret Weapon'?
A. It's Lee Young-pyo. He only saw defenders, but I was surprised because he had good offense. I think the other team is careless because they are old, so I think it's a more secret weapon role.
Q. You announced your retirement from active duty in January this year, and I wonder what changes you have made since your retirement and what your future plans are.
A. After retirement, I feel like my body becomes a normal body from an athlete body, so I think I need to take care of it more. Also, I try to put my hard work into the broadcast as a soccer player. I don't know what's going to happen, but if it doesn't work, I'll try my best until it works.
The story of Taegeuk Warriors who dream of social contribution through soccer balls 'Bolundier' is released every Friday at 6 p.m. on KBS Sports YouTube Channel.
