Chapter 1035: Injection (5)
Eungwang High Residential Area, Korea National Team’s Quarters.
The players who had finished the second match sat in a heavy atmosphere.
At least Jo Yi-shin opened the hologram of his device and brightened his expression while organizing the photos he took of Dokgo Miro today, but it didn’t help improve the mood.
Yong Je-geon, who had been watching the faces of the players with a sly grin, threw in some pointless words.
“Good job, everyone. Third place, huh? Such a pity. We could’ve made a comeback in the end, but it’s really unfortunate.”
While it might sound like comfort, considering his tone and expression, it only seemed like he was mocking them.
The first place in today’s match was Japan’s national team, second place was China’s national team, and third place was Korea’s national team.
Though it was technically third place, it was essentially last, and while the gap with second place, China, wasn’t much, the difference with first place was significant.
Several of the players glared at him with frustration, but only Yeom Jun-yeol responded to his words with a sincere tone.
“Thank you for the comfort, Teacher Yong Je-geon.”
“It’s nothing. As the head coach, it’s my job to care for the mental well-being of the students.”
Of course, what Yong Je-geon said about mental well-being was just for his own amusement.
