My Girlfriend Wants Victory - Chapter 18

‘Hmm… Are you giving up on a draw?’

Gwanghwa High School didn’t let go of their ten-back even after conceding a goal to my fantastic mid-range shot.

After Hojin High School, which was in second place after first place Geumsun High School, was destroyed like a dog due to the coach assault incident, the fight for third place, which will grant the right to participate in the King of Kings Tournament, is said to be fierce.

It seemed like they were being cautious and trying to get hit as little as possible in case the rankings were decided by goal difference.

Well. But this is Gwanghwa High School’s situation.

“Whoa─! You’re still anti-football even though we’re losing! What are the kids going to learn? You little punk coach!”

Naturally, there was some booing from the audience who were unaware of the situation at Gwanghwa High School.

Now that they’ve released their turtle-like curl, I thought it would be a fun game.

It’s frustrating when a team that has conceded a goal continues to crouch like a turtle.

“Hey! Stop booing! If you do that, you’ll end up hurting my brother!”

However, it didn’t take long for the stands to become quiet. This was because other fans were trying to restrain themselves, as the players still on the field were minors and there was a risk of controversy erupting.

‘By the way, it really isn’t coming out.’

I smiled at the sound coming from the stands and looked at Gwanghwa High School’s camp.

All I could see was the Gwanghwa High School players blankly watching us turn the ball.

We could have just passed the ball around from the back and taken the victory leisurely.

The rebellious spirit within me was whispering to me to fire a bullet of justice into the goal they were so carefully guarding.

‘Who am I?’

A legend who played in the K-League for 15 years, defying the cries of K-League fans to please go overseas.

Even the fans and executives of the club I played for, Seoul, begged me to go to any of the Lebanese clubs that offered me an offer and become a player representing Korea and Seoul.

To that extent, I had great talents that set me apart from others. So, Levamun must have wanted me strongly as well.

They consistently sent me offers every season, and the manager (chairman) even contacted me personally to persuade me.

Let’s put it in the style of our Its Me coach Choi Ki-hyun. ‘The player that Real Madrid is obsessed with, FC Barcelona mentions DNA, and Munich begs for? Its Me.’

But I didn’t leave Korea despite the fans’ demands. It’s a joke to say that I didn’t go because I was against the fans telling me to get out.

I’m not crazy, so does it make sense for me to not go to Levante because of what the fans say?

More than that, I hated leaving Gyul-i alone in the ancestral home and going abroad.

To be honest, when I got an offer from Levamun, I was shaken too. But I ended up rejecting all the offers.

Something. I felt like if I left Winter alone, I would forget the existence of Winter as time went by.

So, I turned down offers from overseas. Disappointed by my decision, soccer fans came to the stadium and hurled abuse at me.

It would be a lie to say that I wasn’t hurt by their words. Well, I was able to endure it somehow because there were colleagues, fans, and my in-laws who respected my decision as much as the people who hurled bad words at me.

And as time went by, when disappointment with me turned to curiosity, people started to wonder why I didn’t move abroad.

Well. In a way, it was natural. If I wanted money, I would have played in China or the Middle East, not in Korea.

Anyway, maybe it was because of the curiosity of the people. One day, the TV program I Want to Know That covered my story and broadcast it under the subtitle, “Why doesn’t Son Jin-ho go overseas?”

Public opinion changed in an instant when the K-car incident, which involved sending off a winter vehicle due to a sudden acceleration accident, was made public.

After this broadcast, I was given the nickname of the Romantic of the Era. (Before that, my nickname was Non-Flying Kimchi Man, which was a sarcastic way of saying that I didn’t go abroad because I couldn’t fly.)

Although he was pointed out as the ideal type of many female celebrities.

I really hated that nickname.

Rather, I would have preferred a non-flying kimchi man.

The nickname Romantic was given because it felt like he had somehow benefited from Winter’s death.

‘after….’

I shook my head, shaking myself out of the past memories. For now, let’s focus on the game.

Isn’t that a thing of the past now?

Now, Winter was next to me.

Although some of the memories I had with Gyul in my past life had faded, we still shared many memories.

And we can create more new memories together than the ones that have disappeared.

While I was thinking about something else for a moment, I could immediately see that the players’ concentration was broken.

This situation arose because neither our team attacked nor the opposing team applied pressure.

“Give me the ball!”

I raised my hand and received a pass from center back Kim Jae-hyun, who was passing the ball from the back.

Normally, I would place the ball on the inside of my foot to protect it from my opponent, but this time, I placed it on the outside of my right foot because I was going to break through.

Honestly, it was a little awkward because it wasn’t the kind of dribbling I’d done before.

He had no trouble getting through the opposing team’s players, who were still only high school students.

Starting with feeding a nutmeg to a Gwanghwa High School midfielder who ran to block a mid-range shot with a nervous expression, he started to beat Gwanghwa High School players one by one.

“Hoooooooooooooo─!”

The cheers from the audience grew louder.

“My boyfriend, Jin-ho Son, is cool!!”

And I might be mistaken, though.

Among them, Gyul-woo’s voice sounded strangely clear to my ears and a smile appeared on my lips.

Before I knew it, I had entered the penalty box.

And as the saying goes, the shot is the last pass.

He attempted a low kick with the inside part of his foot, as if passing the ball to a teammate.

The ball rolled into the corner of the goal, out of the goalkeeper’s reach, and into the net.

“Winter!”

As soon as the goal net shook, I ran to where Winter was and crossed my ring fingers.

“response?”

The panicked voices of fans preparing for the rain ceremony can be heard.

It’s a shame for the fans who were looking forward to it.

Now, I wanted to show off this ceremony in front of Gyul-woo.

I guess I became a little more emotional because I was thinking about the past.

“Oh my! How happy is our daughter? We can’t expect such romanticism from that bastard in our house.”

“Ahem. How masculine.”

A smile appears on my face as I see Winter lowering his head in embarrassment at the words of his mother-in-law and father-in-law.

“Wow─! What kind of love is this student having!”

And our sweetheart appearance erupted into playful boos from the audience.

Well, some of them seem a bit sincere and evil.

Well, still, most of the audience had smiles on their faces.

***

The moment when Son Jin-ho’s shot shook Gwanghwa High School’s goal net.

“Hey dog… .”

The Gwanghwa High School coach was about to swear at the players who lost focus and caused the loss of goals, but he barely managed to suppress his anger after looking at the spectators in the stands.

‘… That fucking idiot director Hojin Go.’

Due to the recent incident involving coach Hojin Go, the perception of current soccer team coaches has hit rock bottom.

The coach of Gwanghwa High School knew that if he continued to curse at his players in this social atmosphere, he would end up becoming the second coach of Hojin High School.

While the Gwanghwa High School coach was calming down, the first half ended.

“… Everyone worked hard. Let’s hold out for the next 40 minutes.”

Even though he was about to harshly scold the student athletes, the coach of Gwanghwa High School, who was reminded of the guillotine before his eyes, had an awkward smile on his face and encouraged the athletes.

‘Why is it like this?’

‘I don’t know either.’

‘What is it, Mom? I’m scared.’

The Gwanghwa High School players, who had lowered their heads in anticipation of being scolded by the coach, could not help but be taken aback by the coach’s warm words.

And things like this were happening all over the country.

***

Kang Chan was substituted in at the start of the second half. Although Chan is not a starting striker, he is often put into the game and shows off his excellent scoring sense.

‘I wonder what it would have been like if I had continued to play as an attacker without changing positions since I was young.’

Anyway, even after Kang Chan was brought in, the flow of the second half was no different from the first half.

We kept knocking, and Gwanghwago crouched like a turtle.

Probably, most of the opposing teams we will face in the future will be teams that are crouching like Gwanghwa High School.

“Pull up the line! Push harder!”

I instructed them to pull up the line and apply strong pressure against the Gwanghwa High School players who were crouching like turtles.

Under strong pressure, Gwanghwa High School hastily kicked the ball away. The ball, which they were unable to kick away properly, went to the center back.

Gwanghwa High School, who had been getting beaten up so recklessly for a long time, made a mistake in the second half of the 30th minute.

The moment when the midfielder of Gwanghwa High School tried to avoid pressure and passed the ball sideways, I succeeded in intercepting it, and as soon as I made eye contact with Kang Chan, I immediately passed the ball through.

Although his first touch was rough, Kang Chan managed to somehow get possession of the ball.

Kang Chan turned his head in front of the goal to check the goalkeeper’s position, then calmly shot in the opposite direction.

The goalkeeper was frozen in place and unable to react to Kang Chan’s surprise shot.

Wow. If this guy really works a little harder, he could be selected for the U-19 national team.

The only problem with the current U-19 national team is the attackers’ lack of goal-scoring ability.

‘Why else would coach Han Kwang-jong want to use me, the best box-to-box midfielder in South Korea, as a striker?’

The more I thought about it, the more I regretted that Kang Chan had to change positions because of poverty during his childhood.

***

The match against Gwanghwa High School ended.

Coach Choi Ki-hyun opened his mouth to thank the players for their hard work.

“Kids, you all worked hard today. Thank you so much for running so hard.”

After the Hojin-go incident, Coach Choi Ki-hyun quickly abandoned his authoritarian image and encouraged the players with an affectionate expression that was unparalleled in the world.

The players looked moved by the sight of coach Choi Ki-hyun.

Except me.

‘In this day and age, who is the owner of true humanity and the best leader who can guide young players on the right path? It’s me.’

Strangely, it seemed like I could see Director Choi Ki-hyun’s inner thoughts.

While coach Choi Ki-hyun called out each player’s name and encouraged them for their hard work.

“excuse me….”

A man approached.

Coach Choi Ki-hyun, who had been inspiring the players, stepped forward and took the form of protecting the players.

I looked at Director Choi Ki-hyun with an expression that said, “Did this gentleman have this kind of side?”

“Who are you? If you’re a scout, then you’ll come to school later… .”

“No. I’m not a scout. I’m an SBK PD!”

The man waved both hands at Director Choi Ki-hyun’s words, then took out a business card from his wallet and handed it to Director Choi Ki-hyun.

“Oh my! I am the director of Geumsun High School, the best virtuous person in Korea! My name is Choi Ki-hyun!”

I couldn’t hide my expression at the mention of broadcasting station PD, and I looked at Director Choi Ki-hyun with cold eyes as he smiled broadly, his mouth splitting open. Then I burst out laughing.
