My Girlfriend Wants Victory - Chapter 33

***
The day after the big victory against Japan.
The South Korea U19 national team returned to their accommodation after completing simple recovery training and chatting.
“Are we meeting at the Dongwon Tuna and Makdungi dorms again today?”
I shook my head at the words of Jeong Seung-ryong, who is the starting striker for the national team along with Dongwon Tuna.
“I have to contact my girlfriend today. Go somewhere else.”
“Ha… Our youngest is going through puberty. He’s become a bit chilly.”
I sighed as I looked at Jeong Seung-ryong, who had a hurt expression on his face.
“There’s nothing we can do. Then let’s go to the goalkeepers’ room today.”
Jeong Seung-ryong turned his attention to my firm attitude, which made it seem like not even a single needle would go in.
“No. What do we think?”
The goalkeeper, No Dong-in, who was the head of the goalkeeper room, protested against Jeong Seung-ryong’s words, but it was a somewhat meaningless outburst in the face of democracy.
“Yeah, it’s majority rule. Anyone against?”
“No~”
“Okay! Today is the goalkeeper’s room~”
I shook my head as I watched the meeting place being decided to be the goalkeepers’ room.
After the great victory over Japan, the perception of the U19 national team from outside has changed significantly, but the team’s daily life has not changed.
The national team was still using two people per room.
When on earth can I get a private room?
Well, even the national team for A matches uses two people per room except for the World Cup base camp, so it seems like a dream that the national teams by age group use one person per room.
‘But really, why do you use a double room?’
The association may not have the money, or they may really think that two-person rooms are better for teamwork and performance.
The higher-ups in the association who use 100 million won of public funds for private purposes such as entertainment and golf will probably know the details.
Well… . Actually, I don’t understand either way.
‘… But after the 2018 Russia World Cup, each senior national team member will be assigned a single room.’
Even then, the age-based national teams still had two people per room… .
‘I’ll be a member of the senior national team by then anyway, right?’
There wasn’t anything I particularly cared about.
“By the way, hey! Cha Dong-won! The youngest gave me an amazing assist, so shouldn’t I buy him a present or something?”
“Oh. Is that so? What do you want as a gift, youngest?”
Anyway, as is usually the case with winning teams, the atmosphere of the national team that won a great victory against Japan was also excellent.
“What kind of gift is one assist? It’s okay. I have to take care of my condition, so don’t come in too late.”
I told Dongwon Tuna, who took my joke seriously, that I was okay with it, and returned to my room and turned on my smartphone.
There was a message from Winter on my smartphone.
– Midwinter: (Right hand Jin-ho.jpg in real-time search terms)
– Midwinter: Oh~ Jin-ho Son’s name is on the real-time search list?
– Hou: Haha I guess I’m pretty great
As soon as I sent the message, I received a reply from Winter.
– Midwinter: Tsk tsk! This older sister told me over and over again! Don’t be arrogant and always be humble!
No. What’s so fast?
– Midwinter: Well… . But I’ll admit it this time!
– Midwinter: These are Japanese reactions ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– Midwinter: I only brought things that were fun to see!
– Midwinter: (Japan’s reaction to the legendary 1st team’s failure to make an appearance.jpg)
Midwinter additionally showed a post that seemed to have been captured from the Hou Gallery, saying it was a response from Japan.
“… If I send one message, I get six replies?”
Rather than reply to Winter’s endless stream of messages, I decided to call.
– …hello?
I burst out laughing when I heard a nervous voice on the other side of the smartphone.
“Why do you sound so nervous?”
-… I wasn’t nervous.
Through the phone call with Winter, the stress that had built up without me knowing was relieved.

Thursday, October 14, 2010.
Tsubo Stadium.
The opponent in the AFC U19 Championship semi-finals was North Korea, which achieved the unprecedented feat of three-generation hereditary succession and became the model for all dictators.
Well… It’s a country that brings up a lot of different emotions.
Thinking about the Cheonan sinking incident and other incidents, North Korea as a country itself was shit, but I felt a little sorry for the ‘people’ who were exploited there.
An absolute monarchy in the 21st century? Isn’t it the only country in Northeast Asia?
China and Russia are also dictatorships, but unlike North Korea, these guys have never experienced hereditary succession.
If Kim Il-sung, who is in the brimstone fire, sees that, wouldn’t he teabagging Mr. Sparrow, who is in the brimstone fire, and the human Baekjeong from Georgia, saying, “Are they all retards who can’t even pass down power?”
Beep─!

Anyway, the game starts with the referee’s whistle.
“You South Korean bastards, come and taste the kicking that the general himself praised!”
North Korea’s players gritted their teeth and played as if they were going to be dragged to the Aoji coal mine if they lost.
It seemed like they were trying to overcome the skill gap with mental strength.
Swoosh─!
“Hoo …
But not everything could be solved with mental strength.
If that had happened in the first place, would North Korea have developed nuclear weapons? They would have defeated the United States with the spirit of bombs and guns.
I wonder if South Korea is also a nation of the same ethnicity as North Korea, so high-ranking officials and journalists often mention mental strength before a match against a strong team.
Just as North Korea did not think it could beat the United States with a gun-and-bomb mentality, the South Korean Football Association did not think it could beat Brazil with a mentality.
“… You little shit. You really suck at soccer.”
Anyway, I shook the net with a mid-range shot and was praised by an unknown North Korean player on my way back after the ceremony.
“This is the subject’s nuclear bomb. Do you understand? This bomb does not eat the people’s rice.”
I answered, pointing to my thigh.
“…Sudden.”
Dude, I’m dying of joy.
I burst out laughing as I looked at the North Korean athlete gnashing his teeth.
My friends from other countries didn’t understand my teabagging, but my friends in North Korea understood what I meant when I said that we were the same people.
Still, is this why we say we are of the same ethnicity?

The semifinal match against North Korea ended with a victory for the South Korean national team.
“We’ve already beaten this opponent once! Just do what you did in the group stage!”
And a few days later, the final against Australia unfolded.
[South Korea pushes Australia hard from the start of the game!]
[The players’ expressions are full of confidence! It’s a good sight!]
The Australian players were full of confidence as they had already won the group stage.
[Wow!! South Korea wins the AFC U19 Championship for the first time in 6 years!!]
The South Korean U19 national team, which started off strong, overwhelmed Australia and won the final easily thanks to Son Jin-ho’s multiple goals. It was a final match that fully demonstrated the strengths of a young team.
And then the awards ceremony followed.
“Hoooooooo─!!
“Hoooooooo─!”
The tournament MVP and top scorer naturally went to Jin-ho Son.

[The emergence of the greatest middle-liker ever! Son Jin-ho wins the tournament MVP and top scorer!]

└ Our gallery owner won the chchchchchch!!
└ Hooooooooooooo─!
└ Honestly, he was really good
└ Ha… Is a world-class soccer player finally coming out of South Korea?
└ ??? There’s already a world-class soccer player named Park Ji-song.
└ What I’m talking about is world class?
└ This kid is a piece of shit. Did Park Ji-song just say that it wasn’t a monthly salary?
└ He’s a great player, but objectively speaking, Park Ji-song isn’t a world-class player.
└ Please, if you are Korean, let’s not compare and cheer for Manchester United and Park Ji-Song!
[If someone asks about the future of Korean football, turn your head and watch the AFC U19 Championship match! The birth of an all-time promising player!]
└ I think Ki Sung-ryong would be a good partner for the senior national team, but won’t he be called up?
└ You’re only 15 years old, so you’re too young;;;
└ Still, I’m looking forward to the future.
└ Looking at it, he seems to have leadership skills even though he’s young, so he seems like he can follow in Park Ji-song’s footsteps
[Dortmund is paying attention to the ‘genius’ Son Jin-ho! Praise is everywhere locally!]
└ Wow ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Even local fans praise this talent
└ He’s just a promising prospect, isn’t the reporter exaggerating?
└ ㄴㄴ Surprisingly, he was listed as a promising player who received attention from the local community.
└ ㅠㅠ My grandfather was a miner, and he said that he thought of Cha Boom when he saw Son Jin-ho ㅠㅠ He said that when coach Cha Boom-geun scored a goal and his name appeared on the scoreboard, it was a great motivation for him to work, and when I saw him smile when he saw Son Jin-ho, I cried ㅠㅠ
└ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ Later, go watch Son Jin-ho’s game with grandpa ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

“Gino! Are you hurt anywhere?”
“Gino! I enjoyed the game!”
“Gino! … .”
“Gino! … .”
Son Jin-ho, who returned to Dortmund after winning the 2010 AFC U-19 Championship, looked bewildered as he saw the coaching staff welcoming him.
“…Why do you keep harassing me? Is this racist?”
Son Jin-ho was a bit sensitive after visiting China.
