“and….”
My palms were sweaty as I watched the match between Dortmund and Hamburg in the middle of winter.
Although it was only the Ligatotal Cup, a pre-season cup, the two teams, Dortmund and Hamburg, were playing a fierce match without giving an inch.
“Focus until the end!”
Midwinter’s gaze was turned to Son Jin-ho, who was shouting on the ground.
“Don’t be so excited because it’s pre-season! Think about the fans who came to see this game now!”
Hamburg became more aggressive in their attacks after conceding a goal, but Son Jin-ho steadily blocked Hamburg’s attacks and continued to encourage his players.
Chook─!
Once again, Son Jin-ho intercepted a pass to Son Heung-min, who immediately got up from his spot and launched a counterattack.
“Shit!”
Unfortunately, Dortmund’s counterattack was blocked by Hamburg’s centre-backs.
“Whewww─! You’ve got some real fighting spirit!”
Mainz fans cheered for Son Jin-ho, satisfied with his spirited play.
“Have you seen Mom!? This is my boyfriend… .”
And at that sight, Han Gyul’s shoulders rise. Han Gyul turns her head, wanting to show off to her mother… .
“Jin-ho!! Mother-in-law is here!!! My son-in-law is the best─!!”
As soon as I saw my mother, Hwang Mi-yeon, standing up from her seat and screaming in broken German, I quietly distanced myself.
“… .”
She lost the drinking contest with her mother.

As the second half began, Dortmund called up most of their starting players.
Son Jin-ho was naturally included in that list. Since it was a pre-season match, Klopp decided to replace Son Jin-ho, believing there was no need to overdo it.
Son Jin-ho was replaced by Ilkay Gundogan, who joined Dortmund from Nurburgring, as soon as the first half ended.
Dortmund scored consecutive goals through Felipe Santana in the 19th minute of the second half and Mohamed Zidane in the 21st minute.
They won the Ligatotal Cup with a 3:0 victory over Hamburg.
Although Son Jin-ho did not score in the pre-season match against Hamburg.
“Gino!! That was the best!!”
He played a key role in blocking Hamburg’s attacks based on his outstanding defensive skills, and received praise from the fans.
[The protagonist of the Liga Total Cup is! Dortmund!!]
And then the awards ceremony followed.
“Okay~~~~.”
The awards ceremony ended with the winners holding the trophies and looking happy.
“Hongmin, let’s exchange numbers.”
Son Jin-ho approached Son Heung-min to exchange numbers.
“Uh. Wait a minute… But why did you bring the trophy?”
In hand was the warm trophy he had just received for winning the pre-season.
“Ah. It’s just… I thought the trophy was pretty, so I wanted to show it to you.”
Son Heung-min was not in a very good mood when he saw Son Jin-ho’s face smiling brightly while waving the trophy in front of him.
‘… I want to hit you in the face.’

[Defending champions Dortmund remain strong as they win against Hamburg.]
[Son Heung-min, who unfortunately failed to score with a shot that grazed the goalpost, proves his potential!]
[Jin-ho Son, in iron wall mode, blocks Hamburg’s attack.]
[Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp smiles at Son Jin-ho’s story. ‘We talk a lot while commuting to and from work. In the past, I asked him where he feels most comfortable playing, and he told me that he feels most comfortable playing where he is needed. He is a great player who knows how to think of the team before himself.’]
└ … ? You commute to and from work together?
└ ㅇㅇ In the beginning, the girlfriend’s mother came to pick her up, but when coach Klopp saw that, he said he would take her since she was going home anyway.
└ No, that’s not it. My boss and I commute to and from work together;;;
└ … Wow. Damn, I got goosebumps for a second ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└ Just thinking about the bald manager makes me suffocate;;
└ ? Is your manager bald too?
└ Hey, you too? Hahahahahaha
└ Go! You’re making fun of 10 million balding people. You’ll go bald soon too!
└ Wow… 10 million. There are a lot of bare mountains in our country.
└ You little shit are doing Mindungsan ㅇㅈㄹㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[Netizens express concern about Son Jin-ho failing to score. ‘Could it be a second-year jinx?’]
└ Reporter;;; Are you writing an article without watching the game?
└ They’re just trying to attract aggro.
└ But I still have to watch the game and write an article, ㅅㅂ;; Son Jin-ho’s performance was bad, but he didn’t score, so it’s a 2nd year jinx, ㅇㅈㄹ;;
└ To begin with, there aren’t many opportunities to score due to his position.
└ Did you lose to Kagawa in the midfield? You always play as the midfielder in the youth national team.
└ That’s… The Qing Dynasty kids’ goals…
└ Ah ㅠㅠ Ah ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
└ It’s not that he was pushed back, but it feels like Son Jin-ho is filling the void left by Nuri Shahin?
└ Yeah;; When Jin-ho Son left, the balance was really shaken.
└ Why can’t this kid, Gundogan, do this?

└ He was a public servant in Nuernberg, and it seems he is still adjusting.
└ My brother is the main player, right?
└ I saw you do it today, but you’re still worried about the starting pitcher? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└ First of all, our midfielder can play in any position, so it seems like his selection is certain.

└ Hahahahahaha look at Hongmin’s expression hahahaha
└ ???: You don’t have this? Hahahahahahaha
└ Son Jin-ho is cute ㅋㅋㅋㅋ He looks like a cousin who likes toys ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└ No;;; But Son Heung-min is my older brother;; Is it right to tease him like that?
└ Ah;; Please;;; You serious kid are taking this seriously;;

After the game ended, I checked out SNS.
(Son Jin-ho boasting while waving the trophy.gif)
– Son Heung-min: Son Jin-ho, I will take revenge.
Anyway, it seems like the plan to instill in Hong Min-hyung a desire to win was a huge success.
I promised myself that I would regularly send photos of trophies to Hongmin hyung, as he showed me videos of himself training hard.
“Oh, that’s right. Cheongryong-hyung and Juyong-hyung.”
As I remembered, I sent a photo of the Meister Chalet to Son Heung-min and managed to get the numbers of Park Joo-yong and Lee Cheong-ryong.
Lee Cheong-ryong felt that his much younger junior was worried about him and replied that he was grateful and that he would be careful.
I thought I would easily achieve my goal because of the unexpectedly easy answer.
“Hmm… wouldn’t it be better to give it a try?”
“Brother, what are you going to do if you can’t play in the game?”
The problem was Park Joo-yong.
It wasn’t that Joo Yong-hyung was being mean or anything because of his age. He didn’t get angry at the advice of his much younger junior and just listened to him calmly, saying, “What do you know?”
“Then I have to train harder to be able to run.”
However… maybe it’s because of his uniquely optimistic and hard-working personality.
Persuasion didn’t work at all.
“Jin-ho, if you try something and learn something from it, then it’s worth the challenge. And you haven’t heard from Arsenal yet?”
Rather, as I talked to Joo Yong-hyung, I was being persuaded.
Now I don’t know either. I wonder if it’s right for me to stop him from choosing the path he wants.
I concluded by recommending that he go to a club where he can play and grow rather than a big club.

Time flies.
It’s already July 30th.
I received a thank you call from Lee Cheong-ryong.
“Jin-ho, is there anything you want as a gift? I’ll buy you one.”
“Brother, I’m in Germany right now. Are you serious?”
“… My brother is currently injured and can’t receive his match pay. Let’s talk again when I go to Korea later.”
Tom Miller’s tackle was so deep and rough that he couldn’t completely avoid it, so he was injured, but it wasn’t serious enough to require an oxygen mask.
Just, like, half a season out?
Well, this is a serious injury, too.
Still, when I think back on the original history, I’m glad it was at least this much.
In the original history, it was an injury that would not have been strange even if he had retired as is.
Anyway, at that time, Tom Miller was shocked by the sight of Lee Cheong-ryong being carried away on an oxygen mask, and apologized to Lee Cheong-ryong several times.
This time it was a little different.
[Tom Miller and Newport County don’t apologize for the murderous tackle on Lee Cheong-ryong!]
└ The mad dog of Dobongsan did something worse than that.
└ I still can’t forget the dragon kick;;
└ No, does it make sense to have a practice match with a 5th division team? ㅡㅡ
└ This is Bolton’s injury!
Lee Cheong-ryong, who received mirror therapy, seems to have learned a lot after experiencing what he had been through himself.
Indeed, even in the history of the original game, Lee Cheong-ryong’s play was quite far from his sense of camaraderie, to the point that Korean netizens even called it retribution.
“If you hurt someone, shouldn’t you apologize?”
Lee Cheong-ryong’s voice can be heard exploding with anger over the phone.
“… Brother?”
I instinctively asked back. It was a question along the lines of, ‘Why are you saying something like that?’ Lee Cheong-ryong must have realized that too, because he didn’t continue speaking.

Another week passes by since then.
Finally, the season has opened.
“BVB! BVB! Last season’s champion BVB!”
Soccer fans, who had been quenching their thirst with transfer rumors and pre-season games, began to flock to the stadium to watch the opening match.
Dortmund will face Hamburg again at their home stadium, Signal Aduna Park, having faced them in the Ligatotal Cup just recently.
Dortmund were confident of victory as they had met their opponent only recently.
[Dortmund wins 5-0 at home!]
[Korean Derby Cancelled! Son Heung-min Out Due to High Fever. On the Other Hand, Son Jin-ho Played for 70 Minutes and Was Replaced by Ilkay Gundogan!]
[‘Multi-goal blast!’ Jin-ho Son, sees the future of Korean soccer!]
[German media leaves a comment saying Jin-ho Son is Weltklasse (world class)!]
And Dortmund succeeded in achieving a great victory against Hamburg as they had hoped.
