The trailer released with the stills shows an even sharper atmosphere after the 2-2 draw with the Sunderland youth team. Despite playing an even match amid the adverse conditions of time difference and travel distance, the regret over losing focus in the second half and allowing a comeback awakened the players. In particular, former Premier League player and head coach Lee Young-pyo delivered the painful advice, "If you show that kind of performance, scouts will find it hard to choose," which instantly froze the atmosphere at the scene.
But that cold reality check instead turned into grit. Wearing uniforms reminiscent of the Taegeukgi, the players grit their teeth and vow, "I'm hungry for it," "We will show you a changed side," and "We have to do it properly," amplifying anticipation for the next match.
Meanwhile, interest is focused on the fact that English top club Sunderland has offered an official trial to a 'Next Legend' prospect. Coach Lee Young-pyo personally conveyed the news to the participant, saying with sincere encouragement, "They must have liked you. So they want to give you a trial. I hope you go to Europe and grow more." Curiosity is at its peak over which of the best 15 will be the one to receive an official Sunderland trial.
Episode 9 of 'Next Legend,' in which the 'little Sonnys'' rebellion will begin in the heart of European soccer, will be released on Coupang Play at 4 p.m. on the 20th.
