'Steamed Gun Nabli' dad Park Joo-ho joins Lee Geun-ho and 'Goal Girl' as new head coach
With the 5th Schutzliga coming up on March 3, there will be a seismic change in the coaching staff of SBS's 'Goal Hitting Girls'. Former national soccer players Park Joo-ho and Lee Geun-ho will be the new coaches.
Lee Geun-ho was a hard-working striker with speed and activity during his playing days, and is now a commentator, gaining positive responses for his on-field details. Then, multiplayer coach Park Joo-ho, who played in the Europa League, became popular not only as a commentator but also as the father of 'Steamed Gun Nabli' and won the Year-End Entertainment Award in 2019, the first active athlete to do so.
The news of the new coach's arrival after a year and a half has been met with enthusiasm from viewers. In the teaser video of the coaches released last week, viewers said, "I can recognize them just by looking at their silhouettes," "I'm looking forward to the new generation of coaches who have just retired," and "I wonder what kind of players they will be working with." The 'Goal Girl' production team commented, "Director Lee Geun Ho and Director Park Joo Ho are both young directors and have a great passion for 'Goal Girl'. We expect them to bring a new paradigm to 'Goal Girl'."
The first 'New Manager Evaluation Game' is waiting for the two new managers. The two coaches will experience what it means to be a 'goalie' through the evaluation game before the league starts in earnest. In addition, a very special group of 'Goal Girls' have been selected for the new coach's evaluation match. The lineup of the players, which was handpicked by chairman Ha Seok-ju, also raises curiosity. Unlike the previous coaches, Park Joo-ho was confident that he would show "true 'European-style soccer'" because he had "been abroad for a long time," and Lee Geun-ho was also unwavering in his tactics, using "'transition' soccer through 'activity'" as his main tactic. It will be interesting to see who will win the first victory in the battle of pride between the two new coaches who are best friends.
In the stands, 'Goal Girl's' Daesebae coaches Cho Jae-jin, Oh Bum-seok, and Baek Ji-hoon visited to support the new coaches. Seeing the two enthusiastic coaches before the game, the coaches all said, "'Goal Girl' is different," and showed a relaxed appearance. When the game started, the coaches sarcastically gave advice to Park Joo-ho's classic soccer style, saying, "This is not Europe, and that has nothing to do with 'Goal Girl. It was said that the three coaches remained standing throughout the game as they watched the exciting development. The fierce battle between new coaches Lee Geun-ho and Park Joo-ho, who are both new to the team, will be broadcast tonight (March 3) at 9 p.m. on SBS's 'Goal Hitters'.
