On the Ball 6
 |
Description
Book Introduction
The complete "On the Ball" series, a full-fledged soccer story loved by children, has been published.
The final whistle blows for the Daepung Elementary School soccer team!
Since the publication of the first volume, which announced the birth of Daepung Elementary School's mixed soccer team, the "On the Ball" series, which has received the love and support of many children with each subsequent volume, has finally been completed with the publication of the sixth volume.
As the review suggests, "Just as a single soccer ball contains the entire world, this story condenses the diverse lives of children into a single story." "On the Ball" solidly portrays soccer itself, while also focusing on the dreams, efforts, and growth of the children embedded within it.
The reason why the time leading up to the quarterfinals against the nation's strongest Baekho Elementary School, overcoming the difficult situation of recruiting players, feels so special to readers is probably because "On the Ball" goes one step further than a simple soccer story and vividly portrays the lives of children.
Meanwhile, “On the Ball” has consistently covered the underrepresented figures in the most popular sport, soccer.
By covering attackers, male players, goalkeepers from non-famous teams, female players, and unknown teams in detail, we presented a more diverse and healthy football story.
Through this, the theme of the series, ‘Anyone can play (soccer)’, is naturally incorporated into each volume.
The Daepung Elementary School soccer team has been unfolding heart-pounding stories both on and off the field. Let's go into the field together as the final whistle blows!

Into the book
The joint training held on Dasan Island was fiercely contested, with youth soccer clubs from all over the country eager to participate.
In Mugang City, Baekho Elementary School was the only one that could come every year.
But, what kind of trick did Mr. Ko, who had no sense and no coach, use? This time, Daepung Elementary School came too.
--- p.17
Thanks to this, the Daepung Elementary School soccer team, which was full of confidence, had a very big dream.
That was to turn Daepung Elementary School into a 'new powerhouse team' and turn the elementary school soccer world upside down.
Of course, it was not an easy challenge.
But the children had a corner of their faith.
It was none other than ‘Coach Hwang.’
This training was sure to teach us a secret winning strategy that only the national team knew.
--- p.30
"huh.
The attacker is named Choi Yeo-myeong.
They've played against us twice in the national tournament preliminaries, and their skills are incredible.
You could say it's the future of the future.
“He is also Seungri’s biggest rival.”
--- p.39
Yeomyeong expected that Daepung Elementary School, which advertised itself as a 'mixed soccer club', would be different.
How on earth should it be different? Jiyu had no idea.
--- p.44
“I can’t speak indirectly, so I’ll speak directly.
You, after this joint training in Dasan Island, come to our team.
“If I just do some adaptation training during winter break, I’ll be able to play as a starter starting the new semester.” Chan-i’s heart pounded.
“What’s going on?” “They’re scouting you.
“That too as a starting pitcher.”
--- p.70
“Jiyu, if you want to achieve your dream, be determined.
After all, our future isn't all flowery.
Especially for female athletes.
Besides, there is a saying that a crisis is an opportunity.
“Why don’t we use this opportunity to create a proper mixed-gender soccer team?” Jiyu replied in a timid tone.
"I don't even know what a proper mixed-gender soccer team is." "What's so difficult about it? It just has to be fair, regardless of gender."
"Give equal opportunities and evaluate everyone fairly! At least no one gets as upset as we do."
--- p.99
Jiyu and the other children realized too late that it was solely Chani's responsibility to choose which team they would play for.
As it turned out, they had their own share.
That was to sincerely congratulate Chan-i for getting such a great opportunity, and to make Daepung Elementary a great soccer club even without Chan-i.
--- p.117
"that's right.
But there's something more important.
It's because I enjoy the match itself.
“You have to enjoy the game so you can focus on the game even when you don’t have the ball, and that way you can maintain your desire to win.” The kids nodded.
If you don't know the fun of the match itself, 85 minutes of running around without a ball would definitely be boring.

Publisher's Review
The Daepung Elementary School soccer team's first joint training session, where they face an unexpected crisis!
Daepung Elementary School's soccer team, which went into overtime against Baekho Elementary School in its first competition, has a 'new goal'.
It is about being reborn as a ‘new strong team.’
The first step is the ‘Dasan Island Joint Training.’
This joint training, which brings together top soccer clubs from all over the country, is held in a mecca of training camps equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, so the players are excited about the prospect of becoming even stronger.
But what he encountered there was not an opportunity for a new leap forward, but an 'unexpected crisis'.
The joint training that unfolds in Volume 6 shows a completely different charm from the existing training that appeared in the “On the Ball” series.
As 24 schools are gathered, the training itself is diverse, and the ‘national team level hell training’ prepared by Coach Hwang, who has been officially appointed, will be revealed.
Additionally, the appearance of Choi Yeo-myeong, the only female player in Mirae Elementary and a strong rival to Jegal Seung-ri, arouses curiosity.
The story goes in an even more unpredictable direction when Director Baekhocho makes a scouting offer to Chan-i.
In a situation where the fates of Yeomyeong and Seungri, Jiyu and Chani overlap like a decalcomania, it is worth noting whether Chani will make the same choice as Seungri.
Daepungcho, whose expectations turned to disappointment overnight, finds itself at another crossroads through joint training.
What kind of ending will Daepung Elementary School's soccer team have?
Time to "off the ball" for dazzling growth
Meanwhile, the On the Ball series has been about the intense journey of running breathlessly towards the creation of a soccer team.
However, as the subtitle 'Off the Ball' suggests, Volume 6 tells the story after the end of the Mugang Tournament.
'Off the Ball' is a soccer term meaning 'time without the ball', and is the opposite of 'On the Ball'.
When watching a soccer game, we only pay attention to the player who is carrying the ball.
However, the time a professional soccer player has possession of the ball is very short, around 5 minutes, and the time without the ball is as long as 85 minutes.
If you include training time, the off-the-ball time becomes immeasurably long.
Daepung Elementary School players, who achieved rapid growth and good results through the Mugang competition, are captivated by the moment of on-the-ball, where they run around the field in a flashy manner, and are obsessed with the thought of quickly becoming a strong team.
At the same time, we are faced with the question, 'How will we spend the long time off the ball?'
The Daepung Elementary School players wander in the face of a vague period of waiting with no noticeable results.
On the ball and off the ball, these two times are inseparable.
Because both moments are 'soccer time'.
So, if you find it difficult to enjoy either of the two, you will inevitably lose the fun of soccer itself.
This sixth volume talks about how the time waiting for the ball is just as important as the thrill of putting the ball in.
Even if you don't achieve your goal in the game, if you had fun playing, you'll have the strength to continue to the next game.
“On the Ball” strongly supports the present rather than the future through the children of Daepung Elementary School.
If you enjoy the present, whether you have the ball or not, your dream will soon come closer to you.
The True Meaning of Co-ed Soccer: The Journey Toward a Single, Complete Playground
Since the soccer club was first established, Daepung Elementary School has always been the center of attention with curious eyes.
It was because of the expectation that there would be something special that only mixed teams had.
Even Yeomyeong, a fellow female player, firmly states that the Mirae Elementary School she belongs to is not a mixed-gender soccer team, and Jiyu takes the time to think deeply about the meaning of a mixed-gender soccer team.
Volume 6 shows the cold reality that gender is still prioritized over ability through the scout incident.
The high hopes that the prejudice against mixed-gender soccer teams would disappear once they were recognized as an official soccer team were shattered in an instant.
The situation is no different from a year ago, but instead of being frustrated, Jiyu and the kids find answers to overcome reality through the games they have played so far.
The feeling of everyone running around the playground together is an irreplaceable and enjoyable experience, so I think the children want to accumulate more such moments.
Children, regardless of gender, believe that "anyone can do it if they have the heart to do it," and they rediscover the value of playing together.
Up until now, On the Ball has closely followed the journey of the Daepung Elementary School soccer team.
In it, we could hear stories of players who train and compete just like any other team, rather than the special features of a mixed team.
By choosing an approach that gets closer to the essence of soccer rather than being obsessed with gender due to being a 'mixed soccer team', it instead showed a complete playground.
That's why, through the "On the Ball" series, we will be able to experience how much fun it is to run together on the same field.
