My Girlfriend Wants Victory - Chapter 35

I started talking to Mino Raiola and making plans.
“Jin-ho, you know that it won’t be easy for Manchester United to accept the conditions you proposed, right?”
Mino Raiola said that in order for Manchester United to accept the demands I put forward, the club must build a squad around me like Lionel Messi.
“First, show your skills by playing for Dortmund.”
He nodded. It was only natural.
Even if it is possible to influence the club according to the contract, it is only possible if basic skills are supported.
“And after transferring to Manchester United, gradually increase your influence in the locker room. Ferguson, that old man, is also old, so he will probably retire someday. When Ferguson retires, then in the next contract renewal, that content will be….”
Well, Ferguson announced his retirement after winning the league title in the 2012/13 season, so it won’t be long before he retires.
‘2 seasons from now?’
It seems that he is looking anxious as he thinks that Manchester United will soon turn dark and evil.
“Jin-ho, I don’t know what’s making you impatient, but you’re still young. Take the long view.”
Listening to Mino Raiola’s words, I restrained my mind from becoming impatient.
As I take a few deep breaths, several thoughts come to mind.
How can I lift the Big Ears for Manchester United?
First, the Glazer family would have to give up their innocent hearts in trying to protect the team from the dirty oil money of Qatar.
This is not something I can do anything about.
So, I tried to exert influence on recruitment, but that doesn’t seem easy either.
Then, the director needs to appoint a good director.
Do you think things will change just because Pep or Klopp comes to Manchester United?
Oh, by the way, Tuchel was excluded.
There is a high probability that Tuchel will quit or be sacked within six months after swearing at the board.
“By the way, Jin-ho. Do you plan on giving up your benefits when you transfer to Manchester United in the future?”
I shook my head at Mino Raiola’s words.
In general, from a club’s perspective, it is good to buy players cheaply and pay them low salaries in order to strengthen the team.
Let’s not forget.
Manchester United is not your average club.
If I move cheaply and take a pay cut, will the remaining money be reinvested in Man U?
I don’t think so.
Should the Glazer family of Menggu pool their savings and pay out dividends?
If they were going to invest in football, wouldn’t they have started by replacing the aging training facilities and youth development facilities?
And above all, moving with a low transfer fee and low wages is not good for me either.
I have not experienced the EPL stage yet, and there may be many problems during the adaptation process.
I am confident in my skills, but isn’t soccer a team sport?
When I had problems adapting.
The only way for the manager and the team leader to hire me was through a high transfer fee and salary.
“No, I have no such intention.”
Anyway, since I mostly agreed with what Mino Raiola said without objection, the conversation became a little more relaxed.
We talked about various things, and when the name Erling Haaland came out of his mouth, I asked him about Erling Haaland.
“Is that guy named Erling Holland that good?”
“Even though he’s young, he’s already been called a physical monster. I heard he broke the world record for long jump at the age of five.”
“Oh… how did you meet this guy named Erling Holland? He’s only 10 years old.”
“Hehehe… I had a connection with Alfie Holland, Erling’s father. In Alfie’s eyes, his son’s talent was outstanding, but he couldn’t judge it accurately. That’s why he invited me to his house, and during that time, I got to see Erling play soccer at Alfie’s request. Even at a young age, he was impressive in that he didn’t lose to his older brothers in physical battles.”
I nodded as I listened to Mino Raiola’s words.
By the way, I remember Alfie Holland posting a similar story on SNS when he was mourning the death of Mino Raiola.
I remembered that Mino Raiola died 13 years later from a lung disease.
“Um… Do you have any plans to quit smoking or exercise?”
He asked cautiously, looking at Mino Raiola. He was a big man weighing over 130kg and was famous for being a slouch despite suffering from lung disease, so there were concerns about his health.
“Oh~ Jin-ho! You too?”
“This isn’t something that can be passed over as a joke….”
“Jin-ho. I am healthy enough.”
But Mino Raiola shook his head firmly, and his firm refusal prevented me from urging him any further.

After signing with super agent Mino Raiola, a film crew from SBK arrived in Dortmund, Germany.
“Damn, if I had negotiated, I could have gotten at least 10 times more in appearance fee!”
Mino Raiola quickly left the stage after lightly expressing regret that he had signed a contract for a cheap broadcast appearance.
You can’t take away the attention of your customers?
Well… anyway.
“Hello! PD, how have you been?”
I approached PD Kim Hyeon-deok, who had a good impression, and said hello.

“Oh! Son Jin-ho! I enjoyed watching the AFC U19 Championship game. Congratulations on being the top scorer and the tournament MVP!”
PD Kim Hyun-deok greeted me with a bright smile on his face. Unlike Ki-hyeon Shichi, his impression was so good that just seeing his face made me feel more favorable.
“Oh my, PD-nim, it’s been a while!”
They say even a tiger comes when called, and Kihyun Shichi comes running from far away.
Former leader and guardian, director Choi Ki-hyun, known as ‘Itsumi’, has agreed to help with the filming of SBK’s entertainment show.
“Ah! I heard about Director Choi. You said you came to Germany with your student to help him succeed, right?”
PD Kim Hyun-deok greeted even Ki-hyeon with a bright smile. He was the epitome of a person of true character.
“Haha, well… The association and our Jin-ho both said they need me, so of course I should come.”
Me? When?
Let’s look at Kihyun Shichi with a dumbfounded expression at the absurd rumor. Choi Kihyun was seen desperately blinking his eyes.
I sighed and nodded,
PD Kim Hyun-deok’s eyes lit up at that sight.
Is that the real business moment?
Indeed, it was a good story full of the romance of that era.
“PD!!”
“Hey! Wait a minute!”
A person who appeared to be a staff member called PD Kim Hyun-deok. PD Kim Hyun-deok asked for our understanding and then disappeared to take control of the filming set.
“… Are you done with the work?”
I looked at Choi Ki-hyun and asked.
“Of course, I guess I’m better at paperwork than you think.”
I let out a gasp without realizing it at Choi Gi-Hyeon’s words.
Of course, when I went to see you the day before, I thought, how am I going to handle all those documents?
You sorted that out in one day?
They say even a centipede can roll.
Kihyunshichi, you’re a more capable man than I thought.
They say you shouldn’t judge a person by their cross-section, and I reflected deeply after seeing the rediscovery of Kihyun Shichi.
“Let’s start filming!”
While I was talking to Kihyun Shichi.
The filming preparations are complete.
“Just show us your normal daily life, as if there were no cameras!”
Full-scale filming has begun.

‘… Is there anything to broadcast? Oh, I don’t know. The PD’s face is bright, so I guess it’s going well.’
Filming began and several days passed.
The cameras that used to feel awkward are now starting to feel familiar.
The break granted by Dortmund has ended.
After finishing my school classes, I went to the Dortmund Brakel training center.
“Guten Tag. Ralph.”
I greeted Uncle Ralph, who managed the training grounds, in German, which I had become quite fluent in.
“Guten Tag. Oh. Your pronunciation has improved a lot.”
ZGVPdDc2cnQxMFU0bVlrbnZITXlVc21yMU5RVmpqYjNaQUcyVGZBWVF0TE9zYVBkQUE4TmV3L0RTWTY5VEJjMw
I smiled at Uncle Ralph, who gave me a thumbs up.
So, you didn’t give up studying German even while participating in the AFC U19 Championship.
It’s frustrating if your skills don’t improve.
“Gino!! Long time no see!”
As I entered the training ground, I saw children welcoming me.
There were also young children who were not part of the U19 team, and since I was an Asian who was unfamiliar to the training ground, I received a lot of attention.
“By the way, what are those cameras?”
“I told you last time, a filming crew is coming from Korea.”
“Oooh─! Gino! Superstar!”
After chatting with the kids I met at the entrance to the training ground, I entered the Dortmund U19 training ground and saw Antonio Rudiger digging the grass with a serious expression on his face.
Although there is some controversy over his character and teabagging, he is undeniably one of the world’s best center backs in terms of skill.
Even Dortmund recognizes Rudiger’s talent, so he is on the U19 team at the age of 17.
Well… . Even though he has a lot of talent, he is still just a promising prospect, so he is lacking in many ways and has shortcomings.
“What are you doing, Tony (Rüdiger’s nickname)?”
“Are you selling grass?”
However, he was a friend who was fun to watch because he had a unique sense of humor since he was young.
“Grass? Why?”
“I’ve been analyzing the attack patterns of our team’s attackers. If you dig here, there’s a high chance that the attacker will step on it and fall. It’s a classic trap.”
Antonio Rudiger, who had been working so hard for so long, fell into his own trap during the following practice match, resulting in a goal, and the scene was captured on camera.
