My Dad Was a Genius Episode 082

[The game is over! The score is 5-0. Wolves once again beat Cardiff by a huge margin!]

[Yes, it was a very rough game. There were three red cards. There were also many yellow cards. There were even injuries. Cardiff City played the game too rough.]

[Oh, yes. But the moment I said that! A fight broke out among the coaching staff!]

Throughout the game, Cardiff City simply tackled their opponents as soon as they saw them.

It seemed like he was really determined to soak it in, but Director Richard was surprisingly quiet.

Then after the game was over,

“These dogs like these dogs!”

He ran towards the opposing coach’s camp in a fit of rage.

We managed to catch him, but he had already crossed the line.

“And you’re still a manager? No matter how much you want to be a jerk, you still have to play the game like this!?”

“Well, that’s not something I want to hear from someone who has handed over all managerial authority to the coach.”

“Don’t be ridiculous. I’m just managing. Besides, I don’t play dirty games like you. I’d rather lose than fight.”

Director Stephen turned his gaze to me, who was calming Director Richard down.

“Is it you? The one who has been troubling Cardiff all season.”

“… … .”

“You don’t have to look at me like that. You’re not the only one who got hurt. If you hadn’t come to Wolves, Cardiff would have been promoted without any problems.”

I just stood there quietly staring at him.

“Why don’t you say something? Or at least swear a lot.”

“I have no intention of insulting you.”

“……what?”

“Because I fully understand the director’s mind.”

Director Richard, who was furious as hell at my unexpected words, turned to me.

Director Steven was also tilting his head.

“How can we blame the director for feeling the limits of his abilities and choosing to become uglier rather than trying to improve?”

“what?”

“But it’s a shame. Still, I got a lot of inspiration from watching the manager’s tactics and enjoyed watching Cardiff’s games. In the end, all that’s left is the manager’s lowly footsteps. I never thought you would end your career like this. Wasn’t it the manager’s tactics to go forward boldly and confidently?”

“… … .”

Director Steven couldn’t say anything, but his face started to turn red.

“I understand you want to try to stop us from going up, but you have to remember this. You have just ruined several people’s lives. The Cardiff City players had the chance to lose with honour, even if they lost. What right do you have to take that away from them?”

“An honorable defeat? There is no such thing.”

“Yes. That’s why I just said that. I have no intention of insulting you. Why would you insult someone who has so many accomplishments but knows no honor or shame? You won’t listen to him anyway.”

“You, you little punk… … .”

“No one will remember what great achievements you have had or what a brilliant career you have had. All football fans will remember only today’s game. I will definitely make it happen.”

“!?”

Then, Cardiff coaches stopped Manager Stephen from running towards me with his eyes wide open.

Either way, I was going to take Director Richard inside.

“Oh! One more thing.”

But it was a shame to just go in like that.

“Our Wolves will definitely go up. If you were going to mess around, you should have done it more carefully. If you mess around like your own pathetic tactics, that’s all you’ll get.”

There, Director Steven exploded once again.

“Hey you little shit!!”

“Director. Calm down!”

“Let go of this. I’m going to kill that kid today… …!”

We returned to the locker room, leaving Coach Stephen causing a ruckus.

“I’m sorry, Director. I made a mistake… … .”

“No. That’s not true.”

Director Richard has a somewhat relieved look on his face.

“I realized one thing today.”

“yes?”

“I’m telling you, you must never make an enemy of me. Hehe.”

I really don’t want to make an enemy of this sly old man.

Wasn’t the world of sports originally the best for the rich?

“You worked hard today. But the problem lies ahead. Are you okay?”

Of course it’s not okay.

“You don’t have to worry.”

“Yeah. If you say so, then so be it.”

He tapped my shoulder and went inside first.

I told you not to worry, but… … it was at a level where you really had to be worried.

Cardiff manager Stephen told me your twerk had no effect, but it really did have a huge impact.

Striker Angsen fell down, and it seemed likely that other players who were tackled would also have to be examined later to find out.

‘As expected, it’s not easy.’

It was a pretty cruel world.

Father, me, this world was working hard to disrupt our dreams.

But don’t I know from long experience?

In the end, dreams are about overcoming adversity and hardship.

And there is this saying:

God never gives us troubles that we cannot handle.

Even though unexpected hardships have come my way, I will overcome them.

certainly.

* * *

“Aren’t we X?”

Ramsay started cursing loudly from the morning.

“Ansen needs at least three months to recover from his injury. Traore, who played as a full-back, is also out for at least two months. The two most important players at Wolves are gone.”

“hmm…….”

“But I wouldn’t worry about it. Because you told Director Richard that it was okay. Right? There has to be some way.”

I let out a short sigh.

“I should have gone to the Turkish league after all… … .”

“If you do this Turkish league shit one more time, I’ll sew your mouth shut.”

“What can I do if it’s a crisis like you said?”

Ramsay asked me back, bewildered.

“Wait a minute. Does that mean there’s no way right now?”

“Do you have any other options? Our key scorer, the striker, is gone, and the player who should be playing as the mezzala is also out.”

“Of course not for me. You are the director.”

“I’m a coach, not a director?”

“No, please!”

I guess the jokes will end here.

“But it is true that it is a crisis. It is also my mistake.”

“What are you doing so dirty.”

I’m human too, so unpredictable things happen sometimes.

Isn’t sports, in particular, a series of variables?

But I still wondered why Director Steven couldn’t do anything else.

He could have ended up with a good game, but he chose a different path.

As expected, you never know what’s in a person’s heart.

“But is there really no other way? Are we just going to end up like this? To Nottingham?”

And there was one more thing that defied my expectations.

Burnley are knocked out and Nottingham win, making them our final relegation opponents.

I was at Wolves in my last life too and knew their history in detail.

They were originally destined to be relegated to the third division this season.

And the team that will advance to the first division is Burnley.

But just as I changed Wolves’ fortunes, so did Burnley’s.

Burnley, who should have gone up, fell and Nottingham came up instead.

Should we call this the butterfly effect?

In fact, Nottingham was a team that should not have even made it to the relegation stage, but something changed them.

This current situation is proof of that.

“No. I showed all sorts of shit-like behavior to Director Steven yesterday, so I can’t lose here. Right?”

Of course, if things had gone according to plan, this was a card that should never have been taken out here.

However, if you change the great flow of fate, you have to pay a price.

* * *

It’s a great feeling to have achieved my first victory in a promotion match.

This means that now all that needs to be done is to pass the final hurdle to get to the first division.

In that case, Wolves needed to be even more determined and have high morale… … .

“We’re missing two key players. Is that okay?”

“It’s not two. It’s three now. They just told me another one is out with an injury.”

“crazy.”

The current atmosphere was very chaotic.

Two of our starting players were injured against Cardiff.

However, after the game, another player was injured.

You might think that just putting up a candidate would be enough, but the match a week away is the last match to advance to the first division.

What team would want to take out their starters and put in reserve players?

What’s more, the fact that two of the starting players were injured and were key to the strategy made things even more difficult.

but,

“If Coach Cha Seong is here… … he’ll definitely have a way.”

“That’s right. There must be something to the fact that they’ve called us all here.”

They had a vague belief.

Haven’t Wolves had a number of incidents and accidents up until now?

Every time that happened, Cha Seong would step in and magically solve the problem.

“But Coach, wouldn’t it be difficult for you this time too?”

“Watching the Burnley match, Nottingham’s skills are no joke.”

“You must have just called us to cheer us up. You’ve done that often.”

Of course, there were some who were skeptical.

No matter how miraculously Cha Seong-eun had led the team so far, this time it seemed difficult.

Right then.

Crunch- crunch-

I held my breath at the sound of heels clanking loudly.

The time everyone has been waiting for has come.

“Everyone’s here. Then, shall we go right away without delay?”

The team was in disarray, but as always, Cha Seong-eun looked calm.

That gave the players some comfort.

“There’s something I said here last time. The training you’ve been receiving can teach you three different tactics.”

The impact was so strong at that time that the players clearly remember those words.

But no one really believed that.

Because it didn’t make sense.

“We’ve used two tactics so far, and the last one is left. Actually, I didn’t want to use this last tactic because I thought it was a bit… … a waste to use it in the second division.”

But it wasn’t a lie.

“What really happened?”

“I thought it was just lip service… … .”

There really was something.

“Then I will reveal the final tactic.”

The players looked at the screen with eyes full of anticipation.

Soon a new tactic appeared on the screen.

“This tactic will take us to the first division.”

The players were blankly staring at the screen.

“Wow, wow.”

The cheer that started from someone soon spread like an epidemic and everyone cheered loudly.

“Wow!”

Even though he hadn’t even told her what the tactic was, Cha Seong-eun stopped what he was about to say and waited because of the already heated response.

“I believed you after all!!”

“I told you, Coach, there was a way!”

The cheering continued for a long time.
