russia.
It is a country that Napoleon and Hitler joined hands to defeat.
A country that can proudly declare that its economy, which was destroyed by economic sanctions from the first world, was Russia’s long-standing traditional culture and that it had already destroyed its economy a long time ago.
In the future, however, the image will be tarnished by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Now, at this time, it is called the Bear Nation and is being digested through various memes.
Anyway, in that kind of Russia.
“Hmm. But why can’t I see a brown bear? Don’t Russians ride brown bears?”
I was adapting to my surroundings faster than I thought.
Around the time when the Manchester United players, excluding me, started training to adapt to the cold.
From the first day I entered Russia, I was walking down the street without any problems, and I quietly thought to myself.
‘What’s better than playing soccer in Korea in the middle of summer?’
This is a great day to play soccer.
At least I didn’t have to use both hands to scoop up water on the grass to take a free kick.

While Jin-ho Son was sightseeing in St. Petersburg, his family began talking about Russia.
– WinterWinter: Hmm.
– Chelmomo: Why is there another flaw?

– WinterWinter: People say Russia is cold, so I looked up the temperature, but it wasn’t as cold as I thought.
– Chelmoh: Isn’t Siberia in Russia cold too?
– WinterWinter: Really?
– Chelmomo: Search it on the Internet.
– Chelmoni: By the way, Winter, don’t you think you’ve been eating too much lately? You seem to have gained some weight recently.
– Winter Winter: Mom! Don’t lie to me, saying I gained weight.
– Chelmomo: There’s a scale in the living room, so try weighing yourself.
– WinterWinter: … .
– WinterWinter: Is your scale broken?
– Hou: Hahahahaha
– Hou: It’s pretty in my eyes, so it’s okay!
– Winter Winter: Ha-eun’s dadㅠㅠ
– Hou: But maybe it would be good to take it out a little…?
– Winter, Winter: (Pig Corn squats down on the box, shedding tears.)
– Hou: Hahahahahahahahahahaha
– Hou: How about exercising together?
– WinterWinter: Hmm.
– WinterWinter: Yes!

The day of the Champions League round of 16 first leg match against FC Zenit St. Petersburg.
Ahead of their match against Zenit, United’s players have begun to warm up more carefully to avoid injuries caused by shivering due to the cold.
Zenit’s home stadium, Petrovsky Stadium, which can accommodate around 20,000 people, was filled with silence.
[UEFA punishes Zenit for playing games behind closed doors.]
This was because the match was played without spectators due to disciplinary action for racist remarks.
There were Manchester United fans who came all the way to Russia without even knowing that.
Well. There’s nothing I can do about it. Since I’m already in Russia, I have no choice but to go sightseeing and then go back.
[‘Russian cold sap Man U’s power!’ Sadio Mane absent due to cold.]
[UEFA Champions League Round of 16, 1st leg Manchester United vs Zenit starting lineup revealed. Son Jin-ho to start.]
[Alex Ferguson brings out last season’s undefeated winning formation.]
Anyway, due to the long-distance flight and weather issues, the game started with the referee’s whistle while the players were in the worst condition.
***
[The game has started. The red jersey on the left is Manchester United, and the one on the other is the home team Zenit.]
[Yes, there is a difference in the strength of the two teams, but this is a notoriously tough away game in Russia! Even before the game started, Sadio Mane was out of action due to a cold? In many ways, it seems like the game will not be easy for Manchester United.]
Commentators and experts predicted that it would be a difficult match for Manchester United.
[The only silver lining for Manchester United is that Zenit are being penalised by UEFA, so the match will be played behind closed doors, right?]
[I have nothing more to say since Zenit has already been disciplined, but racism must disappear as a human being.]
[Yes. As I said, Son Jin-ho started pressuring Zenit from the start of the game!]
However, once the game started, Manchester United took the lead in a one-sided manner, contrary to the experts’ expectations.
[Son Jin-ho wins the ball with a defensive collaboration with Ilkay Gundogan and runs the ball up!]
It was because Son Jin-ho was flying around in exceptionally good condition.
“Son Jin-ho, I am sending my soul to you now and requesting a pass!!”
“Gino, the little child inside you is looking for me!”
As Son Jin-ho took the ball and moved forward, Ronaldo and Van Persie immediately demanded a pass.
[On the left is Ronaldo, on the right is Robin van Persie! It must be a happy moment for a midfielder to be able to play with the best finishers.]
Between two world-class attackers who can finish cleanly no matter who you give them.
[Son Jin-ho, I’m hitting him myself!!]
Son Jin-ho’s choice was to finish it himself.
Son Jin-ho’s well-placed mid-range shot flies toward the goal at high speed.
The moment when Son Jin-ho sensed he was going to score and was about to raise both hands.
Zenit’s centre-back and former Argentina international at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, Ezequiel Garay, managed to block the shot with his body.

[Uh… um. You look very sick.]
***
The score was tied at 0-0 thanks to Ezequiel Garay’s sacrifice.
[Zenith goes long to the side!]
Zenit tried to attack Manchester United’s flanks with quick counterattacks to avoid the solid midfield of Son Jin-ho, Sami Khedira, Ilkay Gundogan, and Michael Carrick.
[Virgil van Dijk follows at speed and blocks the counterattack!]
Last season, Virgil van Dijk, who had joined Manchester United and brought stability to a defense that had been in shambles, was blocked by a wall.
As Zenit’s attack was blocked, this time Manchester United launched a counterattack.
[Van Dijk to Michael Carrick!]
Virgil van Dijk’s pass found Michael Carrick, who passed it to the feet of Son Jin-ho, who played as an attacking midfielder.
Son Jin-ho succeeded in naturally turning his body towards Zenith’s camp with a soft first touch.
Three choices appeared before Son Jin-ho’s eyes again.
He chose Cristiano Ronaldo for this option.
Ronaldo smiles brightly and attempts a shot as soon as he receives a pass from Son Jin-ho.
[Ronaldooooooooooooooooooo─!!]
But is it because my body is less relaxed due to the cold?
[Ah!!! Ronaldo’s shot flies into the air!!!}
Ronaldo’s shot flew into the air at a golden scoring opportunity.
“… I gave you the ball, why can’t you score?”
And at that moment, Jin-ho Son had no choice but to shout out as if he were a sergeant.
***
Even after Ronaldo’s shot went wide, Manchester United’s attacks continued.
Hulk (soccer player) who plays for Zenit came running and applied pressure.
I tried the nut mag where I put the ball between the legs of a running Hulk.
The moment the Hulk broke through to me, he must have thought it was dangerous to let me go like that, so he grabbed my uniform from behind and pulled it.
I lost my balance on the frozen grass and fell.
Even though the referee declared a foul for Zenit, I remained silent for a while with my eyes closed and could not get up.
Because the abyssal phantom that had been slowly sealed within my heart was about to awaken again.
Anyway, if the referee hadn’t firmly shown Hulk a yellow card.
The world may have witnessed a singularity in the sport of football in the Champions League.
***
The match is decided by a free kick by Manchester United.
Since the distance was too far to aim for a direct shot, Son Jin-ho decided to send the signal he had promised in advance and stick it in the penalty box.
Beep─!
When Son Jin-ho signaled to the referee that he was ready to take the free kick, the referee nodded and blew his whistle.
The whistle blew in his ears, and Son Jin-ho slowly ran to take the free kick.
As Son Jin-ho runs, a fierce physical battle to secure a slightly better position takes place.
“I feel like my rotten yolk is vibrating.”
“Hmm, that’s your wife’s spit. I guess it was too toxic.”
The players eased the awkward atmosphere by talking trash-talking as if it were small talk.
Son Jin-ho calmly passed the ball into the penalty box.
The ball hit Ronaldo’s forehead squarely.
“SIUUUUUUUU─!!”
And finally, he managed to shake Zenit’s goal net.
***
The game continues.
Second half 20 minutes.
[Oops! Van Dijk misses the pass!]
[Hulk runs towards you!]
Zenit took advantage of Manchester United’s lack of concentration due to the cold to produce some threatening shots.
[David de Gea!]
In a situation where it would have resulted in a goal if not for David de Gea’s save.
Alex Ferguson and Jin-ho Son instead ordered Zenit to be pushed even harder.
A situation where the game is played without spectators.
Manager Alex Ferguson’s instructions were clearly conveyed to the players.
Son Jin-ho, who was appointed as Manchester United’s field commander, began to give instructions and control the game.
And soon after, Son Jin-ho attempted a mid-range shot from a good position.
Son Jin-ho’s mid-range shot is exquisitely aimed in a direction that the keeper cannot stop.
The moment Jin-ho Son, who had a feeling he would score, was about to raise both hands again.
A familiar figure in a red uniform came into view.
Phew─!
So, Son Jin-ho’s shot deflected off Cristiano Ronaldo’s head.
The ball went past the keeper, who was caught in a counter-attack, and shook Zenit’s goal net.
“Hmm. The pass is too strong.”
And then, in Son Jin-ho’s ears, he heard Cristiano Ronaldo’s monologue, which he would not have heard if the match had not been played without spectators.
A situation where the goal was robbed by Ronaldo.
Despite Ronaldo’s shameless words, Son Jin-ho was more angry than angry.
‘Wow… doesn’t it hurt?’
A strange feeling toward Ronaldo took precedence.
