The winter transfer market is a time when transfer fees are higher than in the summer transfer market.
But sometimes you have to go all out to reinforce your power.
Sir Alex Ferguson, realising that his starting defenders were losing stamina more quickly than last season, began recruiting defenders in the winter transfer market.
Man Utd’s top target is Celtic’s Virgil van Dijk.
Since meeting him in the Champions League, United scouts have been watching Virgil van Dijk’s performances and believe he is a player United need.
After hearing the scout team’s opinion, Alex Ferguson made an official offer to Celtic, and Virgil van Dijk’s transfer was proceeding smoothly.
[Following Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool join the race to sign Virgil van Dijk.]
However, when Manchester United announced that they would be signing Virgil van Dijk, Premier League teams including Liverpool, who had not been able to watch Manchester United do well, joined the race to sign Van Dijk.
Sir Alex Ferguson, judging that if he wasted time here, he might end up spending more money, displayed his characteristic decisiveness and offered a huge transfer fee to Celtic, thereby immediately shifting the balance to Manchester United.
[Man Utd offers Celtic 30 million euros (about 41.3 billion won) for Virgil van Dijk.]
└ ㅁㅊ 30 million euros for not showing anything in the big leagues yet;;
└ Man U must have a lot of money.
└ If I transfer and fail, I’ll probably get screwed, okay?
└ Isn’t Son Jin-ho’s downfall the biggest blow?
└ Don’t touch my brother, you idiot
└ Seriously, no matter how much you hate Manchester United, don’t touch our brother.
[Virgil van Dijk completes personal agreement with Manchester United: “Ferguson’s call changed my decision.”]
And Virgil van Dijk also looked positively at his move to Manchester United after seeing Ferguson and Manchester United’s aging defense moving aggressively to recruit him.
[Chelsea succeed in signing Mohamed Salah for 15 million pounds.]
[Mohamed Salah, “It’s an honour to wear the Chelsea shirt… .”]
On the other hand, Mohamed Salah, who received offers from both Manchester United and Chelsea, felt that there was no place for him at Manchester United and went to Chelsea.
As Manchester United were more concerned about recruiting defenders, they did not bother to recruit Salah, who was pushed down the priority list.
Chelsea later succeeded in recruiting Mohamed Salah, also known as the King Pharaoh, while Manchester United was focusing on Van Dijk.
But Salah’s transfer did not only have positive effects.
Salah’s arrival has irritated Kevin De Bruyne, who was already dissatisfied with his playing time.
After hearing the news of Salah’s transfer, Kevin De Bruyne requested an interview with Mourinho and went to the manager’s office.
“2 goals, 3 assists, 12 recoveries.”
As Kevin De Bruyne entered the manager’s office, Mourinho shuffled through some papers before speaking in a cool voice.
“…?”
While Kevin De Bruyne looked on in bewilderment, Mourinho continued with a reproachful look.
“In the same period, Willian and Oscar scored eight goals and provided 12 assists.”
Kevin De Bruyne blushed as he retorted to Mourinho.
“Give me the same chance as they did, and I will prove it.”
“Kevin, don’t you think the order is reversed? I’m not asking you to prove yourself, you have to prove yourself in training before you’re given a chance.”
After hearing Kevin De Bruyne’s rebuttal, Mourinho continued to spew out sharp words.
“Stop coming to the coach and whining, and think about working harder in training and taking their spots!”
As with the outfielder, it was Mourinho’s way of stimulating Kevin De Bruyne and making him grow into a better player.
But what Mourinho did not expect was that unlike Ozil, who had established himself at the club, Kevin De Bruyne had not, and rather than enduring it, Kevin decided to leave the club and prove himself.
Kevin De Bruyne requested a transfer from the club as soon as his interview with Mourinho was over.
Mourinho was flustered by Kevin’s performance, which was different from what he had expected, and tried to hold on to him, but Kevin De Bruyne had already made up his mind.
[Chelsea prospect Kevin De Bruyne requests transfer to club]
In the end, Mourinho and Chelsea decided to let Kevin De Bruyne go.
[Dortmund offer 26 million euros to Chelsea.]
Borussia Dortmund were the first to rush to sign Kevin De Bruyne after news that he was up for sale.
After the 12/13 season ended, Dortmund had to find a replacement for me, who had confirmed my transfer to Manchester United.
They showed interest in Kevin De Bruyne, who was playing outstandingly for SV Werder Bremen at the time.
Kevin De Bruyne also found the offer from Champions League winners Borussia Dortmund attractive and reached a personal agreement.
With the contract just one step away, Mourinho opposed the transfer, and Kevin De Bruyne returned to Chelsea after Mourinho said he would give him a chance.
But Mourinho’s promise was not kept, and Dortmund had another chance to sign Kevin De Bruyne.
Borussia Dortmund, whose finances were boosted by Son Jin-ho’s transfer funds, began courting Kevin De Bruyne more actively than in the past when the opportunity arose.

[Manchester City show interest in signing Kevin De Bruyne, offering Chelsea £33m]
[Son Jin-ho recommends Kevin De Bruyne to move to Dortmund.]
[Mourinho opposes Kevin De Bruyne’s move to Man City: ‘We are a team competing for the league title, we have no intention of strengthening the opposition…’]
[Kevin De Bruyne, who prefers Germany over England, will he transfer to Dortmund?]

[Man Utd invite Tottenham Hotspur to Old Trafford.]

The first half ended and the second half began without a break.
We’ve all heard of the infamous Boxing Day, but experiencing it firsthand is quite different.
I was realising in real time that ‘it wasn’t for nothing that managers said Boxing Day was eating away at the competitiveness of the league’.
Even I, who was called the Steel King of the Bundesliga, am now at a point where I am running out of stamina and feeling weak.
“… That’s why we’re going to die in the Champions League or Europa League.”
I couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Arsenal’s undefeated victory feels amazing once again.
I’ve been sarcastically criticized for having many draws, but even that wasn’t easy.
Could it be that Boxing Day has played a big part in the fact that no other Premier League club has won the title undefeated since its inception, apart from Arsenal?
“We need a break from A-Match!!”
I stared at the ceiling and shouted for a moment.
“Bbaetta! Bbaetta!”
“Son Jin-ho! Catch Ha-eun over there!”
Startled by Gyul-woo’s words, I grabbed Ha-eun, who had started crawling around the house with great activity as if to prove whose daughter she was, as soon as the new year began.
“Papa! Gyarrrrr─”
As Ha-eun smiled brightly and touched her father’s face, Gyul-woo approached her, breathing heavily.
“Whew… Ha-eun has crazy stamina.”
It was a lame excuse for a poor-quality winter that was pushed aside by an 8-month-old baby.
***
Matches will continue to be played even during the winter transfer window.
Home match against Tottenham Hotspur on 2 January 2014.
Before the game, Manchester United, who moved quickly as soon as the winter transfer market opened, held a ceremony to introduce Van Dijk at Old Trafford.
Virgil van Dijk, dressed in a suit and holding his jersey, receives a standing ovation from the Old Trafford crowd.
As it was too short a time to get used to the existing players and he could not be put into the starting lineup right away, Virgil van Dijk was scheduled to watch this match from the stands.

Perhaps Virgil van Dijk’s debut match will be against Swansea in the 21st round of the Premier League?
“Gino.”
“Van Dyke?”
“Um… I’d like you to call me Virgil. I don’t like being called by my last name.”
“Okay, Virgil. So what’s going on?”
“I just wanted to say hello. I’m a fan.”
Anyway, I had a quick chat with Virgil just before he headed to the stands.

“It’s time to come in!”
The conversation ends when the event organizer tells them it is time to enter the stadium.
“See you later.”
“Yeah. Play well.”
Virgil headed to the stands, and I entered the stadium.
And a little later.
The 20th round of the Premier League match between Tottenham and Manchester United began with the referee’s whistle.
***
[Manchester United beat Tottenham Hotspur 6-3 at home.]
└ Wow, this game really exploded with firepower
└ But there is still a defense problem;;
└ ManU Doctor: So this time you recruited Virgil van Dijk.
└ Doctor… Can I trust Van Dyke?
└ ManU Doctor: I believe it…!! Let’s go for the undefeated championship!!
└ An undefeated championship is a total flop lol I predict a loss to Arsenal in the second half lol
[Son Jin-ho looks visibly tired on his first Boxing Day. He makes his first mistake since joining Manchester United…]
└ It’s rare to see my brother make a mistake;;
└ You must be that tired.
└Look at that half of my face is gone;;
└ It certainly seems like Boxing Day has a killer schedule.
[Manchester United to play two matches against Swansea City.]
***
January 6th. Swansea FA Cup.
Sir Alex Ferguson played a 4-4-2 formation to give his first-choice players a rest.
It’s an inevitable situation. The starting players were all exhausted.
Anyway, Manchester United started a team that was closer to the 1.5 team, or rather the 2nd team, against Swansea in the FA Cup.
[Ah! I missed the mark! Gooooooooooooo! Swansea City scores a comeback goal just before the end of the game!!]
The 2-1 defeat snapped their 28-game unbeaten streak.
[Manchester United’s unbeaten run ends as they are defeated by Swansea City.]
└ Did you fail to win undefeated?
└ ㄴㄴ The season undefeated streak has ended, but the league doesn’t matter.
└ I was so shocked that I thought the league’s undefeated championship was over.
└ It looks like the title was intentionally confusing to fool peopleㅋㅋㅋㅋ
After the match, Manchester United were plagued by suspicions that they had thrown the FA Cup away in order to win the league undefeated.
[Manchester United, controversy over intentional defeat to win undefeated title?]
└ Tsk tsk Is that how you want to win undefeated?
└ Sigh, I don’t know what the point of winning undefeated in this ugly way is.
└ As expected, the true undefeated champion is Arsenal^^
hmm.
Why do I feel like I can tell which team you’re a fan of from the comments?
[Alex Ferguson gets angry at reporter’s question, “If you’re going to talk nonsense like that, don’t ask me.”]
└ ManU Doctor: Look at him trying to find fault with ManU for no reason, thinking they’ll win the championship undefeated. Tsk tsk
Wow. I can feel it from the nickname.
***
The 21st round of the league match against Swansea City was held on January 11th.
We fielded our starting players and won easily against Swansea.
Virgil van Dijk also started and contributed to the victory with a stable performance.
Contrary to popular belief, it would take some time to adapt to the league.
Virgil was on fire in his first appearance for Manchester United.
‘Come to think of it, didn’t Celtic manager Neil Lennon say that Virgil was a complete player from the start?’
I thought it was just lip service, but it seems it was real.
Anyway, thanks to Virgil’s performance, Manchester United managed to keep a clean sheet for the first time in a long time.
[Man U gave up FA Cup to win undefeated title.]
And as United thoroughly demolished Swansea, criticism exploded once again.
– Chairman Hwang Gun-woo: Please don’t take away the Premier League’s only undefeated championship title…
– Winter, winter: If you’re an uncle who’s starting to get nervous that Manchester United might go undefeated, you’re a dog lol
– Chairman Hwang Gun-eo: You little brat in the middle of winter, you just called your uncle a bitch?
– Winter winter: ;;;
– Chelmomo: In the middle of winter, what’s that habit you have for talking to your uncle!
– Chelmomo: Even if you don’t look like an uncle, you still have to be polite!
– Chairman Hwang Gun-eo: … You are worse.
– Winter, winter: It doesn’t mean it’s coldㅠㅠ

[Premier League Round 21) Manchester United win 2-0 against Swansea City.]
[Manchester United running towards an undefeated championship.]
[Virgil van Dijk puts in a perfect performance in his first start.]
[Virgil van Dijk: “I’m playing with top level players. It’s like a dream.”]
[Virgil van Dijk responding to a reporter’s question about who he was most looking forward to playing with, “I was most looking forward to playing with Gino. And after playing with him, I found out that he is a better player than I thought.”]
[Cristiano Ronaldo, “It’s all thanks to me teaching Son Jin-ho well.”]
[Gino sarcastically comments on Ronaldo’s interview, “Yeah, you’re right.”]
[Ronaldo nods to Son Jin-ho’s interview, “Son Jin-ho is finally starting to respect me.”]
[Rio Ferdinand raves about Virgil van Dijk: “He’s a complete player. He’s calm, cool, composed, strong, fast. He’s got everything you need in a defender. All he needs is a little advice.”]
[One day left until the 2013 Ballon d’Or ceremony!]
└ Oh my! Time, hurry up and go!!
└ Day 365 of praying for Son Jin-ho to win the Ballon d’Or!!!
***
Winter wanted to attend the Ballon d’Or ceremony held in Zurich, but Ha-eun was unable to attend because she was too young.
Well… if I’m lucky, there might be another chance next time.
I coaxed the whining Winter into going with me next time.
Anyway, as soon as we arrived at the Ballon d’Or ceremony venue with Cristiano Ronaldo, a reporter who sensed a scoop quickly approached us and asked who we thought would win the Ballon d’Or.
“I have to receive it.”
“Of course it’s me.”
We answered the reporter’s questions with a smile.
-Except for myself?
“Then it’s Son Jin-ho.”
After finishing his answer, Ronaldo looked at me with an expectant expression.
“Messi. He doesn’t deserve the Ballon d’Or.”
I blandly betrayed his expectations.
Honestly, isn’t this Messi? He has more attack points than Ronaldo and even won the league.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ronaldo’s murderous gaze turned to me.
I looked into Ronaldo’s glaring eyes without avoiding them.
I wasn’t afraid of Ronaldo because I had prepared a long message of 5,700 characters for today.
