The moment I read the article about the US Department of Justice targeting FIFA, I started to sweat.
‘… How far does the snowball roll?’
Events were unfolding six months faster than they had originally occurred in history.
[Circumstances in which the Football Association’s dirty money flowed to FIFA discovered?]
The Football Association, suddenly caught between the whales of FIFA and the US Department of Justice, literally imploded.
[Joint investigation by the US Department of Justice (DOJ), FBI, and Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Traces of FIFA’s illegal funds discovered during the investigation into global financial flows in the late 1990s, and the whereabouts of the soccer development fund that disappeared during the 2022 World Cup bidding process?]
During the World Cup hosting process, the whereabouts of the soccer development fund were unknown, and people who were FIFA executives at the time were summoned one by one.
[US Justice Department indicts 15 current and former FIFA and CONCACAF officials on charges of embezzlement, bribery, money laundering and tax evasion.]
Following this, active FIFA officials were indicted.
[IRS Commissioner Richard Weber, “Today we’re issuing FIFA a red card.”]
[Sepp Blatter announces he will not run for FIFA presidency.]
Sepp Blatter surrendered and gave up his fifth term as the pressure from the United States tightened around him.
[FIFA Honorary Vice President Chung Jun-mong declares he will run for president]
[FIFA suspends President Chung Joon-mong for 6 years over letter he delivered to FIFA executive committee members during the 2022 World Cup bidding process.]
[Infantino, a strong candidate for the next association president, agrees with Sepp Blatter’s opinion that there will be no restrictions on Son Jin-ho’s participation in A matches.]
If things continue this way, Sepp Blatter’s dictatorship will likely break down and Infantino will be elected as the 9th FIFA president.
[A stunned association executive. “I am the one. I did it. I was just following orders.”]
Although the occasional news clip of football association officials looking distraught is shown on screen.
Well… that’s not important right now.
[Jin-ho Son, via interview. “I have no intention of naturalizing yet….”]
Although he told the press that he has no intention of naturalizing yet, he is conscious of public sentiment.
In fact, the naturalization process was still ongoing during that time.
[Will Son Jin-ho, the symbol of Korean soccer, really become a naturalized citizen? The English, German, and Portuguese football associations talk to Mino Raiola.]
After negotiations between Mino Raiola and each football association ended, the situation was narrowed down to England, Germany, and Portugal.
Now all that remained was my decision.
– Jisong-hyung: Jin-ho, no matter what choice you make, we will support you.
– Kihyun Shichi: I hope you can play the soccer you want to play without being obsessed with your Korean nationality.
– Kihyun Shichi: I will raise a second Son Jin-ho soon, so don’t let your guard down and always be alert.
– Kihyun Shichi: Who raised the first Asian Ballon d’Or winner? It’s me.
– Panboodoo: Son Jin-ho You should choose Portugal. My home country, Portugal, is a very good place to live, and it has a different level of security compared to Argentina… [Read more]
With the deadline approaching, I started receiving a flood of calls from acquaintances including Ji Song-hyung and Ki Hyun-shik.
When I think of my teammates I played with and the fans who cheered me on, my heart becomes weak.
Isn’t it true that I received a lot of love from them?
“Hey, Son Jin-ho.”
As I was struggling for a long time, unable to make a decision, winter came.
“Look at this.”
I took the smartphone she handed me.
[Title: Please Naturalize Please Naturalize Please Naturalize Please Naturalize]
[Title: If anyone knows my brother’s number, please tell him to naturalize.]
[Title: But is it really necessary to naturalize? The association will probably reform as well.]
└ Association These bastards won’t change even if they die, for real. If our brother doesn’t naturalize, he’ll slowly creep out sooner or later, right?
└ I think my brother needs to naturalize and give us a huge shock for things to change.
The moment I saw my fellow teammates cheering me on regardless of nationality, I was finally able to make a decision.
And a few days later.
“Today, I abandoned myself….”
I announced the news of my naturalization through a press conference.
***
The news of Son Jin-ho’s naturalization hit South Korea hard.
[Son Jin-ho, decides to naturalize to England. Confesses heartbreaking feelings about naturalization. “Today, I abandoned myself.”]
└ Ha. Shit, you’re naturalizing after all.
└ Honestly, I think it’s amazing that you haven’t naturalized yet.
└ Seriously ㅋㅋ If it were me, I would have given up my citizenship right away.
└ Even though you are naturalized, I will always support you! Fighting, Son Jin-ho!
└ So you’re changing your name?
└ No, it’s still Son Jin-ho.
└ Fighting to the pride of Asia, Son Jin-ho!
└ Even though you’ve become a naturalized citizen, there are still many people who support you.
└ Honestly, it’s not that my brother did anything wrong and became a naturalized citizen. He became a naturalized citizen because of the association and politicians, so what’s there to criticize?
└ My parents also felt sorry for Son Jin-ho, saying that he must have suffered a lot at a young age.
└ ㅠㅠㅠㅠ I cried when my brother said he abandoned me with a naturalized feeling ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
[DFB, expressing regret and pride over Son Jin-ho’s choice to pursue a challenge rather than guaranteed success. “It’s regrettable that Gino chose us, but we are the World Cup champions. We will accept his challenge at the Euros.”]
Contrary to expectations that it would be a huge shock, the South Korean people accepted the news of Son Jin-ho’s naturalization more calmly than expected.

Finally, it felt like it had come.
[Kang Chan, who is ‘attracted to Klopp’s attention’, is a hot topic for his comment on Son Jin-ho’s naturalization. “Jin-ho is the benefactor who made it possible for me to be where I am today. I had no choice but to choose naturalization, but the legacy he left behind will continue to develop Korean soccer.”]

The history of the Football Association and anecdotes from Son Jin-ho’s childhood were revealed, and he succeeded in receiving more support than expected.
[Park Ji-song, “I am just sorry that I could not help you as a senior in choosing naturalization. If I had a little more power, I think there might have been another path for Jin-ho other than naturalization.”]
[Choi Ki-hyun, who returned as executive director in charge of the association’s administration, conducts an audit of the entire association. “We must normalize the association so that a second Son Jin-ho does not emerge.”]
And the support from seniors including Park Ji-song also had a big influence on Son Jin-ho receiving support.
[Cristiano Ronaldo, angry at Son Jin-ho’s decision. “Son Jin-ho won’t surpass me.”]
└ … ???
└ What is this kid all of a sudden?
└ Looks like he’s mad because Portugal didn’t come ㅋㅋㅋ
***
Contrary to expectations, many things would change if I chose naturalization.
My daily life hasn’t changed much since I chose naturalization.
[Netizens Outraged at Son Jin-ho’s Naturalization, “Son Jin-ho is the Second Steve Yoo, He Should Be Banned from Entering Korea”]
└ What is this reporter bastard? Doesn’t he have any sense?
└ There are more comments supporting Son Jin-ho’s naturalization than those criticizing him. What the heck is this?
└ It seems like the reporter’s social tendencies are visible tsk tsk
There were occasional malicious comments on the Internet, but more people supported me.
In reality, Koreans still visit Old Trafford and wave the Taegeukgi. After the game, I went up to them and greeted them warmly.
It was a time to celebrate the victory in the fifth Champions League match against Juventus and express gratitude to the fans.
“I… I’m sorry for doubting you before!”
I don’t remember exactly what he said, but I think he seemed genuinely apologetic, so I just smiled and handed him the uniform.
[Title: I am a spectator who received a uniform from Son Jin-ho today.]
Let me apologize for doubting you in the past.
I smiled and said thank you, but strangely tears started to fall from my eyes ㅠㅠ
└ ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
└ I hope you enjoy playing football in England.
└ England’s international performance is not that great for playing happy soccer… .
└ But you didn’t ask why I chose England instead of Germany?
└ Well? I think you said something like “indifferent ghost.” But I don’t know what you’re talking about.
└ Because England hasn’t won any international competitions. Isn’t that what it means?
└ If it were me, I would have naturalized as a German, the world’s best. As expected, to become a world-class player, your goals must be high.
Anyway, it was a challenge that made me choose England over Germany, which I am emotionally close to.
‘You, the indifferent ghost named Harry Kane, from now on, it will be a showdown between your indifferent power and my related power.’
That statement is a joke.
It’s something that will determine your future life, so can you make a decision that easily?
There are many reasons why I chose the UK, but the most important one was security.
In the future, Germany will face a worsening security situation due to the overflow of refugees.
Even Toni Kroos, who was born in Germany, decided to live in Spain after retirement.
Well, England is not a very safe place, but since it was a matter related to my family’s safety, I had no choice but to choose a place that was at least a little bit safer.
‘And Britain was a bit more proactive in naturalization than Germany.’
Anyway, during the negotiation process between the Football Association and Mino Raiola, a promise was received that he would not be called up to the national team for the time being.
Personally, I thought it would be a difficult negotiation.
– Hou: Wasn’t the negotiation difficult?
– Mino: Gino, think about your age.
I heard from Mino Raiola that it wasn’t that difficult of a negotiation.
When I mentioned my age (19 years old), the association nodded with a sad expression.
[Roy Hodgson, Son Jin-ho will not be called up for the time being… “He will need time to make up his mind.”]
England national team manager Roy Hodgson also expressed regret, but sympathized with the pain I had gone through and gave me some words of encouragement to pull myself together.
‘Hmm. Honestly, not to that extent…’
I feel like a student who lied and skipped school.
Well. Anyway.
[Executive Director Choi Ki-hyun, permanent expulsion of directors suspected of corruption. “To prevent the Football Association from becoming a hotbed of criminals.”]
The problems that had been sweeping around me were now all sorted out.
[Jose Mourinho praises Son Jin-ho for his consistent and fantastic performance despite controversy. “He’s young, but he’s already a great fighter.”]
Now it was really time to focus on the inspiration’s final season.
***
[Manchester United, who are running at the top of the league, solidify their lead by catching up with Chelsea.]
Time passed quickly while the naturalization incident was taking place, and it was already the 6th round of the Champions League.
The last match of the group stage, an away match against AS Monaco.
[Cristiano Ronaldo, “The time for revenge has come.”]
[Son Jin-ho, “I still can’t forget the cries of Monaco fans looking for me at our home.”]
The day has come to take revenge on AS Monaco fans who were chanting ‘Where is Son Jin-ho?’ right after the match ended.
