Just before the game starts.
Let’s lightly stretch and take our places on the ground. The cheering from the stands could be heard small but clear.
“Fighting, Jin-ho Son─!!”
“Our son-in-law, fighting─!!”
I turned my head to where I heard my name. I saw my father-in-law and mother-in-law sitting in the audience.
I looked at them and waved happily. They were truly wonderful people. On match days, they came to the stadium to cheer on the team in place of their deceased parents.
It would have been nice if Gyul-woo had come to cheer us on, but unfortunately, it was 2010 and we were going to school every other Saturday. Gyul-woo went to school with tears in her eyes.
I thought of Gyul-woo, who had been whining for a long time in the group chat room about not being able to come to the game alone to cheer.
-WinterWinter: Noㅠㅠ Why can’t I watch the gameㅠㅠ
-WinterWinter: If you had done it at 2pm, I could have seen it too ㅠㅠ
– Me: It’s at 2pm next week, so I’ll see you next week.
– Winter Winter: Next week is Saturday anyway ㅡㅡ
– Craftsman: Dad, I will cheer you on in place of our daughter.
– Winter Winter: … But why didn’t Dad go to work and instead go watch the soccer game?
– Craftsman: My father is the president of the company.
– Winter, Winter: … An evil boss who only makes his employees come to work!
– Me: Winter, but today is Saturday, so you didn’t bring your cell phone to school?
– Winter winter sea: Mh …
Gyul-woo, who had been whining like that for a long time, finally became quiet after his mother-in-law said she would record the game.
– Mother-in-law: I’ll record the game and show it to you, so daughter, put your phone away and study hard ^^
I guess I was waiting to hear this.
Winter, who achieved his goal, left me with a word of encouragement before disappearing.
-Winter Winter: ㅠㅠㅠㅠ Arasseo ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ Please record it properly ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-Winter Winter: Hey! Son Jin-ho! Don’t be discouraged because you don’t have a sister, and play well! Be careful not to get injured!
– Winter Winter Sea: And don’t spoil the results ㅠㅁㅠ

Who the hell is my older sister….
I looked at the center circle, recalling Gyul-woo’s message. There were two Hanyang High School players in the center circle.
‘Come to think of it, back then, when kicking off, the ball had to be kicked forward, so two people went into the center circle.’
It’s a new feeling, but I felt that soccer tactics and rules are changing rapidly.
While I was looking at the two players in the center circle with a curious expression on my face.
Beep!
The referee blew the whistle to start the game, and Hanyang High School’s striker wearing a red striped uniform rolled the ball to the side and ran forward to start the game.
***
Hanyang High School came with a 3-4-3 formation that is strong on the flanks and good at pressing from the front, while we came with an aggressive 4-3-3 formation that focuses on possession.
As soon as I saw Hanyang High School’s formation, I looked at the midfielders on both sides of Hanyang High School.
Since flanking is an important tactic, those two are probably Hanyang High School’s aces.
‘Hmm. Now that I think about it, it looks familiar.’
Judging by the familiarity of his face, I think I’ve seen him a few times in passing in the K-League. But since I can’t remember clearly, he was probably not a regular player, but a substitute or a second-team player.
‘Well, that alone is amazing.’
The probability of a player who started playing soccer in childhood becoming a K-League player is 0.8%.
Becoming a K-League player is difficult, and becoming a pro is proof that you have talent that surpasses others and have not neglected your efforts.
‘Otherwise, you either had incredible talent but didn’t work hard enough, or you had average talent and worked hard enough to the point of death.’
Anyway, this is also great in many ways.
“Jin-ho!”
3 minutes into the first half. The center back of Geumsun High School, who had blocked Hanyang High School’s attack, did not just kick the ball away, but passed it straight to me like he did in the counterattack training.
Maybe it was because I was nervous. I failed to control the strength of my pass, so it was a bit long and strong, but it didn’t matter.
I stretched out my legs and touched the ball with my toes.
Toong.
The ball fell softly to the grass as soon as it touched the tip of my foot.
“!”
Hanyang High School’s number 8, who thought the ball would bounce off, looked flustered and desperately clung to me, but since it was a bit of a clumsy pressure, I was able to shake it off easily.
I didn’t even use any tricks like the Marseille turn, flip-flop, or the nut mag where you put the ball between your legs.
I just lightly fooled him by painting his upper body. Maybe it’s because I’m still inexperienced, but the feet came out easily.
As I turned around, easily shaking off the pressure of Hanyang High School’s No. 8, a wide space appeared in front of me. From the side, I saw No. 11 running with his hand raised.
‘No, shit. I told you not to just run.’
Well, I was wrong to think that they were young players and would move strictly according to the tactics. Rather, I should praise the center back who tried to pass the ball to me like in practice instead of just kicking it away.
‘If I raise him well, he could debut as a pro, right?’
I started running towards Hanyang High School’s camp at a fast pace, thinking about Kim Jae-hyun, the center back of Geumsoon High School who had passed the ball to me.
It is true that the 3-4-3 formation is strong in pressing from the front, but it also has a clear weakness in that it is vulnerable to counterattacks when pressing fails.
Well… . In fact, this is a common weakness of all teams that apply forward pressure.
Anyway, to cover this shortcoming, a center back with truly monstrous abilities is needed. If you have that level of monster, you won’t find one in Korea, but rather one under a big European club or one that is famous for nurturing promising players.
“Cooperate and defend!!”
As we passed the center line and Hanyang High School’s penalty box began to come into view, a defender who appeared to be a center back appeared in front of us.
I once again, got past the defender with an upper body feint and was about to hit a mid-range shot.
Snap-!
Suddenly, I felt someone grab my uniform from behind. I immediately relaxed my body and fell backwards.
The referee, who had witnessed Hanyang High School’s foul right in front of his eyes, naturally blew the whistle for the foul, and I immediately stood up from my seat and prepared for the free kick.
About 23 meters away.
Certainly, the speed of a young teenager was on a different level from that of a veteran nearing retirement.
‘It’s good to be young.’
If it was before the regression, it would have been fouled at a distance of about 26 meters.
Beep-!
The referee who had designated the location blew the whistle. Hanyang High School players standing against the wall with nervous expressions can be seen.
I ran slowly and swung my right foot, hitting the ball hard and slightly below the center of the ball.
The ball was properly placed on the instep, and I could barely feel it on the instep.
“Oh, you’re crazy!”
The ball flew without any spin and curved greatly right in front of the goalkeeper, slicing straight into the goal net.

It’s hard to believe that this came from a high school league. It was a fantastic free kick goal.
The sight of the goalkeeper looking at the goal with a vain expression was truly impressive.
“Wow waaaa …
The spectators and parents of Geumsun High School who were watching the game were also surprised by the wonder goal and started cheering a little late.
Actually, that’s because I don’t brag about myself.
At the World Cup, I was the player who scored a goal against Germany with a free kick. Because of my performance at that time, I received offers from big clubs.
Have you heard of Maenggu? At the time I returned, it was the team that was ranked first in the More League, and it was a rising powerhouse in the More League.
“Wowaaa …
Anyway, as soon as I scored, I ran to the corner flag. As I was running, I was wondering what kind of celebration I should do.
I just remembered.
The fact that Ronaldo has yet to reveal his rain celebration to the world.
I ran straight to the corner flag, twirling my right index finger in the air. Then I turned my body halfway around, crossed my arms, and shouted.
“Wow─!!!!”
From now on, from this moment on, I have become the creator of Hou.
There is a bit of guilt about taking away someone else’s celebration.
‘Still, I can’t stand the rain.’
“What, what is that stupid celebration?”
“He’s retarded, but cool!”
Look.
Hasn’t there been a response yet?
This is the tremendous power of Hou.
However, the problem is.
“Hey, you little punk, are you Adebayor? Why are you celebrating and making a fuss here!”
It means you went to the wrong address.
It seems that he was overly excited about becoming the first great Hou of the Hou Shin Kyo.
I closed my eyes, calmed my mind, and apologized to the angry Hanyang High School parents while making a heart with my fingers.
The parents of Hanyang High School students looked at me like that and put their thumbs between their index and middle fingers.
“hmm.”
It wouldn’t be the most heinous insult and blasphemy to the deceased, like sucking the milk of a deceased mother. It would be that the heart failed because the fingers gained weight.
I decided to think positively.
***
Hanyang High School’s coach couldn’t hide his empty smile.
30 minutes after the game starts.
Even though only 30 minutes had passed, the game was essentially over.
‘7 to 0?’
If it were baseball, it would have been a huge score that would have resulted in a cold game.
It’s not because the children I teach are bad.
It was just because of a monster located in the center of Geumsun High School.
Hanyang High School coach checked the number of the monster that looked familiar.
‘Number 10. Jin-ho Son?’
The moment I saw the name, memories came flooding back.
Last year, he was a player who showed outstanding skills in the middle school King of Kings tournament in the second half of the year.
Because he had a lot of inheritance from his parents, he was a player that many managers had their eyes on.
Of course, all the directors who were interested in Jetbap had their souls stolen by Chairman Hwang Geum-sun.
‘By the way, a lot has changed in a year.’
Not only is the skill level good, but the atmosphere itself has completely changed.
I should say he feels like a veteran midfielder who has been through a lot.
Perhaps, the reason I couldn’t recognize him at first glance was because the atmosphere was different from when I was in middle school.
“Coach, aren’t you preparing tactics for the second half?”
“Tactics? Jin-ho will take care of that. Kiya─! Did you see the pass? It’s a hit.”
Hanyang High School coach approached Geumsun High School coach Choi Ki-hyeon, who was expressing admiration for Son Jin-ho’s play with a bright expression.
It was to ask for a little bit of consideration.
‘Ha… I never thought I’d say something like that.’
I know that you shouldn’t ask for things like this, and I’m one of those who hate directors who ask for things like this.
Looking at the faces of the children who looked like they were about to burst into tears, I couldn’t stay still.
“Director Choi.”
“Huh? Who… Oh my─! Senior!”
Fortunately, the director of Geumsun High School was an acquaintance of mine.
***
In the first 30 minutes, I managed to show 4 single hurrahs and 3 double hurrahs. That means I scored 4 goals and 3 assists.
Someone might ask, “Is it really the case that a guy who has had a long career as a pro would want to compete against kids?”
The world of competition is originally a cold one.
And to begin with, my physical age is 17. I’m two years younger than the kids playing in the game now.
During the growing years, one year can make a huge difference.
So, isn’t this kind of fair?
I looked up at the sky without even a hint of shame.
“Son Jin-ho!!”
And that was when it happened.
Coach Choi Ki-hyun, who was on the touchline, called me.
“Hey. Take it easy. Can’t you see that the Hanyang High School kids’ mentality is ruined?”
Coach Choi Ki-hyun spoke while pointing to the Hanyang High School players who looked as if their mentality had been shattered.
I turned my head and looked at Hanyang High School’s camp.
“… .”
The tearful face of Hanyang High School’s goalkeeper came into view.
hmm.
Was it a little too much?
I slowly approached the Hanyang High School goalkeeper and taught him a life lesson.
“Be good, and Santa Claus will give you presents.”
By any chance, isn’t this something you don’t know?
Maybe a status window will appear.
