Into the book
Seungyoon raised his head and tilted one corner of his mouth toward me.
“Oh, Kang Woo-joo! I heard you’re moving to the players’ class?”
Anyway, there are no secrets.
Seungyoon said, getting excited.
"Messi Kang Woo-joo of Sky FC! Is he finally showing his true colors?"
“Messi, shame on you.”
Seungyoon tells Eunho that he is the FC Ronaldo of Sky.
I like that I'm Messi and not Ronaldo.
Because Messi is better.
--- pp.21~22
'You were praised.
So you could say that.'
Eunho's encouragement felt like the composure of a winner who didn't even know what he was talking about.
I somehow couldn't believe that he had been scolded by the director.
I knew very well that I was narrow-minded and ugly, but I had no way to deal with the sharp symbol.
--- p.88
Before we knew it, we started praising each other's soccer skills.
I was the first one to start.
“Seojun, you’re really good at the Marseille turn (a technique where you drag the ball and then turn forward to beat it).”
Seojun blushed in embarrassment.
Ian was good at the back kick (kicking the ball with the heel), and I showed off the 'pung trapping' that the legendary soccer player Maradona did earlier on the playground.
It's a technique of accurately trapping a ball kicked high into the sky with the instep. It's a technique I practiced like crazy after seeing it in a soccer video because I wanted to imitate it so much.
There were many times when I failed, but today, thankfully, I succeeded in one go and was able to shrug my shoulders in front of my friends.
--- pp.92~93
At the end of the lesson, the player took the microphone and told his story.
I couldn't help but be amazed by his words that he ran tens of kilometers every day and kicked thousands of balls to become good at soccer.
When I heard that other players were hitting me because I was small until middle school, I felt sorry for them as if it were my own story.
I write a soccer training log every day, and on weekends I go to watch soccer games in addition to practicing individually.
Then, when I heard that he had finally stood out and been selected for the national team, my heart warmed.
After he entered the overseas league, he was nicknamed 'Peanut' because of his short stature and small size.
But I ran and ran with an indomitable will, determined to teach them the Korean proverb, "Little peppers are spicy."
“Don’t be anxious and keep doing what you’re doing.
Keep loving football.
anyway
“Even if I tell you not to, you’ll still play soccer, right?”
--- pp.202~203
I was a little behind, and for a moment I thought, 'This is it!'
He quickly rushed in to intercept the ball, then took advantage of the gap in the defense blocking Eun-ho and ran towards the goal.
A 1:1 situation with the goalkeeper.
Just then, the director's loud voice rang in my ears.
“Space, you do it!”
I kicked the ball with all my might, without getting excited and calmly.
The ball grazed the goalkeeper's fingertips and went forward... ... .
It shook the goal net.
"elegance!"
A cheer erupted from the Sky FC cheering section.
Eunho ran over and hugged me.
“Good job, Universe!”
“Oh, Kang Woo-joo! I heard you’re moving to the players’ class?”
Anyway, there are no secrets.
Seungyoon said, getting excited.

Publisher's Review
“I believed that since I liked it so much, I would naturally do well!”
A work that encourages the dreams of thirteen-year-olds
In response to the question “What is your biggest concern?” from Korea Research in 2023, 1,000 elementary school students in grades 4 to 6 across the country answered as follows.
Academics (37.7%), anxiety about the future (15.1%), and not being able to do what you want to do (11.1%).
If you look closely, it's all related to career path.
Children often feel lost when faced with career issues, such as, "I need to study hard to achieve my dreams," "I know what I want to do, but I'm frustrated because the environment doesn't allow me to do it," "I thought I could do well if I just liked something, but when I actually faced it, it was difficult."
For these children, "My Guardian 3: Homeground" gives them the courage to take a step toward their true dreams.
The main character, Woo-joo, dreams of becoming a soccer player.
He joins the soccer team to make his dream come true.
Woo-joo, who was confident that he would do well in soccer because he loved it so much, started to feel intimidated when he actually joined the players' team.
Because there are quite a few friends who are far more skilled than you.
In this gap, Woo-joo envies Min-wook, who is confident and says, “I will show you my skills,” and develops a desire to beat Eun-ho, who is his best friend and ace.
But the more I play soccer, the more I realize there are things more important than winning or losing.
It's about friendship, sportsmanship, and a sense of accomplishment.
Through this, the universe gains the 'strength to move forward without giving up.'
This book allows children, especially those in the upper grades of elementary school who are just beginning to explore their career paths, to put themselves in the protagonist's universe and explore their dreams.
Have I found something I love as much as space?
As you work towards achieving your dreams, do your skills improve?
Maybe I just believed that since I liked it, I would naturally do well.
Do I want to continue on this path?
This makes me constantly think about my future path.
Furthermore, I encourage the dreams of thirteen-year-olds, which I truly love.
“I can’t win alone!”
A sports story of shining friendship and teamwork.
It is no exaggeration to say that 『My Guardian 3: Home Ground』 is a children's soccer fairy tale.
The story focuses on friendship and sportsmanship learned through soccer.
The protagonist, Woo-joo, gets his pride hurt in the first match.
After that, I became obsessed with winning and losing.
Mom will know too.
How hurt my pride is right now.
I grew up hearing about Messi, the god of soccer.
I was proud of myself for being as good as anyone at soccer.
It was a game that shattered that belief.
-Page 84
Both men and women spoke at the same time, but their expressions did not appear natural.
I couldn't tell them to trust me, and I couldn't tell them that I was going to lose.
He just bit his lips without answering.
I vowed to win this match no matter what.
-Page 151
Woo-joo feels jealous and inferior because he always compares himself to Eun-ho, with whom he has played soccer since he was young.
However, it depicts them growing together while playing soccer and genuinely supporting each other.
I was too embarrassed to even say sorry.
Although it was a mistake, it was ultimately due to greed.
The director gave clear instructions.
My job was to pass the ball to Eunho.
But I was so determined to do it that I disobeyed the instructions and ended up hurting the other person.
-Page 196
I felt very sorry for making Eunho feel bad.
As much as you feel sorry, you just have to run harder.
That's how we became friends and how we reconciled.
-Page 223
In soccer, team performance is more important than individual performance.
The work realistically portrays teamwork, where one person's mistake can throw the team off balance, and one person's effort can energize the team.
The process in which the players in the universe gradually demonstrate sportsmanship shines.
The true joy of soccer lies in the precious goal that is achieved through cooperation.
The reason I kept running and running on the dirt floor, falling and bumping into things, was because I wasn't alone on the playground.
It was because I had a friend with me.
That we can pat each other on the shoulder and sweat together for victory.
That when we finally win, we can laugh together.
That's one of the big reasons I'm attracted to soccer.
If I was going to do well on my own, I wouldn't have even started.
-Page 221
The piece uses an exciting soccer game scene to show how precious friendship is and how teamwork is more important than anything else to win a game.
True sportsmanship isn't just about winning, it's about respecting the team and growing together.
"You can't win alone!" is a sports growth story that is told at a child's level, "My Guardian 3: Home Ground."
I want to create my own home ground and I will create it
A book that would be a gift to every child
At first glance, 『My Guardian 3: Home Ground』 is a soccer story about 6th graders.
So, I recommend reading this to children who enjoy various sports, not just soccer.
It's a lot of fun because you can feel the tension of the game, the thrill of winning, and the importance of teamwork.
Even if you're not interested in sports, this book won't be boring.
This is because, as if watching an elementary school documentary, the state of mind during adolescence, 'Drawing My Brain Structure', open classes at school, entrance tests and intense training scenes, and the director's sniper chat room are realistically presented, allowing you to feel the charm of a K-reality fairy tale.
The main character, Kang Woo-joo, wants to play soccer so badly that he challenges himself from a hobby class to a professional class. The story is full of healthy and refreshing messages about his growth and overcoming his limitations.
Therefore, I highly recommend this book to any child who is taking on a new class, a new academy, or a new goal.
This book is a gift for all children who want to create and will create their own home ground.
