My Girlfriend Wants Victory - Chapter 49

After the match between Dortmund and Hamburg, countless articles poured out.

The opening match of defending champion Dortmund attracted a lot of attention not only in Germany but also in Korea and Japan.

In particular, the article that received the most attention in Korea was this one.

[German media leaves comments saying Jin-ho Son is Weltklasse (world class)!]

This article was not true.

No, strictly speaking it’s true, but I would say it’s a bit cleverly twisted.

The German media mentioned in the article is a local newspaper in Dortmund.

Naturally, it was a remark that had to be made to highlight me for my good performance in Dortmund.

It’s similar to the Korean media that mainly reports news about Korean league players active overseas.

This article from a local Dortmund newspaper was written by South Korean reporters as if it were from Bild or Kicker.

In particular, the fact that they used the word WK to make it look like they were evaluated by Kicker Langliste, a rating index that ranks Bundesliga players and German players in foreign leagues, was a part that allowed us to glimpse the malicious side of the reporters.

“…Isn’t this just a tow truck?”

No. Is it more of a national TV show than a recce?

It was only for a moment that I took it seriously.

I decided to just consider it as a minor incident.

It wasn’t my fault, it was the reporters who wrote it wrong, so is it my fault?

You can come back later and fix it… or you can do something really crazy in the first half of this season and get a WK.

Well, honestly, I didn’t think it would be easy to get a WK rating.

Currently, kicker Langliste is divided into four categories for each position: Weltklasse (WK), Internationale Klasse (IK), Im Weiteren Kreis – Competitive – (K), and Blickfeld – Notable – (B).

Among these, getting a WK is like trying to reach for the stars. You have to show a truly legendary season to get a WK.

Michael Ballack, Mesut Ozil, Effenberg and Klose have also only received the WK award once.

“I am amazed at how great Mr. Cha Bum-geun, who received WK No. 1 in the past when racial discrimination was more prevalent than it is now.”

For reference, among Koreans, the only one who received higher than IK was Cha Bum-geun.

If I just get IK, there’ll be chaos in Korea?

Well, Shinji Kagawa will get the WK in the second half of this season.

That’s possible because Shinji Kagawa’s form in the second half of this season is crazy.

Shinji Kagawa’s crazy performance this season may have led to him joining Manchester United.

By the way, this is Fergie’s Manchester United, not Moyes’s Man U.

The difference between the two is as great as that between North and South Korea.

This means that Shinji Kagawa’s form this season is so good that he is joining Manchester United.

If it were up to me, I would like to receive the WK this season, transfer to Manchester United, and achieve my goal of becoming a big player at Manchester United… .

Unfortunately, even if I receive WK, I cannot transfer because I am only 16 years old.

It falls under FIFA’s youth transfer ban.

Even though I am currently playing for Dortmund, I am still playing as an international student without a professional contract.

So, in order not to become a dog chasing a chicken, they pay too much attention to me in Dortmund.

Because it’s a situation where you can sign with another team for cheap and leave.

Well, I had no intention of transferring for cheap, but I deliberately did not tell Dortmund.

I wish the Dortmund officials would be more obsessed with me.

Well… anyway.

“Gino! See you next week!”

“Yeah! Play well in the A match!”

As the international break approached, Dortmund players were called up to the national team and left the club.

[Park Kwang-rae, who received a request from rising rookie coach Jurgen Klopp, said, “Son Jin-ho. Decided not to call him up.”]

I was not called up to the national team due to the strong persuasion and request of Dortmund manager Klopp, who said that long-distance flights at a young age would be detrimental to my career as a player.

Thanks to that, I was able to enjoy a sweet break during the season.

***

Thanks to the untimely break, I spent a long time with Gyul-i.

“I heard you wanted to do something recently?”

Winter nodded after hearing what I said.

“Yeah. I want to be a director.”

“supervision?”

Han Gyul nodded with an embarrassed expression at my question.

– Hey! Son Jin-ho!

A smile came to my face as I suddenly remembered the midwinter days when I would be screaming on the ground.

“… It doesn’t suit you?”

Then, Winter asked gloomily, perhaps taking my smile as a mockery.

“No, it suits you well?”

I quickly shook my head. Since ancient times, such petty misunderstandings have been the way to ruin relationships. The sooner misunderstandings are resolved, the better.

“really?”

At the words that they suit each other well, Gyul-woo purses his lips and hugs me.

Feeling Gyul-woo’s body temperature, I became lost in thought.

Before returning, it was Midwinter who never told me about her dreams.

All I did was go to college like everyone else and study.

It seems like Hankyul’s personality has brightened since she came to Germany. She’s become more charming too.

“If you dream of becoming a soccer coach, would you like to talk to Jurgen later?”

“… Is that okay?”

Winter looks noticeably pleased when asked if he would like to talk to Klopp.

Hmm. I was just saying. I really like it.

I guess I’ll have to invite Klopp over for dinner sooner or later.

Wouldn’t it be better to invite Klopp’s family over and treat them to Korean food rather than having his mother-in-law eat at home alone?

“Okay. Then first, I need to get permission from my mother-in-law….”

“I’ll get permission and come!”

Without a moment to say anything, Winter disappears outside the door.

“Mom─!!”

“Winter… Ever since you suddenly said you wanted to study abroad last time, I feel uneasy whenever you call me with a smile.”

Maybe it was because the scenery was no different from Korea. A smile soon appeared on my lips.

***

While talking about Gyul-woo’s future.

All the spotlight in Korea was focused on the Korea-Japan match.

There were a lot of noises even before the Korea-Japan match.

[Celtic manager Lennon apologizes for calling up Ki Sung-ryong. ‘Ki Sung-ryong’s condition is not normal at the moment. Please do not call him up.’]

Although the overseas players’ affiliated teams expressed opposition to the drafting of their players.

[Park Kwang-rae, Ki Sung-ryong’s call-up. ‘Ki Sung-ryong is the key player of the national team. I will personally see what the problem is and make a judgment.’]

Coach Park Kwang-rae pushed ahead with the drafting of players, ignoring the requests of the coaches of the teams they played for.

Personally, what I don’t understand are the overseas players, including Jackie Chan.

Why are these guys, who usually disobey orders by badmouthing the coach on their private SNS accounts or criticizing the coach’s tactics in interviews, not disobeying orders when they are called up while injured?

I don’t know if it’s patriotism that comes from running for your country… .

Honestly, if it were me, I would have given up on the national team a long time ago.

Maybe I lack patriotism… I think it’s because of what I experienced in my past life.

When I think back to the events that followed my last life, when I lost Winter in a car accident – sudden acceleration due to a car defect – I just get goosebumps.

Personally, the thing I liked best about coming to Germany was that I didn’t see that company’s cars very often.

August 10, 2011. The day has come.

My mother-in-law and Gyul-woo suggested that we have lunch together while watching the Korea-Japan match with Klopp… .

Knowing the result of the game, I desperately tried to dissuade him.

‘It would be a disaster if Klopp was happy with Kagawa’s goal!’

I didn’t have the confidence to endure that cold, awkward atmosphere.

Wouldn’t it be nice if you didn’t get sick after eating while watching the game?

And then the friendly match between South Korea and Japan.

“Ugh… I don’t want to watch the game.”

When Shinji Kagawa scored the first goal, his mother-in-law got up from her seat and went into her room.

“Oh! Is this a game?”

After Honda conceded the second goal, Winter became furious and wrote a post on his smartphone.

And then Shinji Kagawa’s multi-goal, Japan’s third goal, was scored.

Kwajik─!

A sound of ‘something’ breaking was heard in the room where the mother-in-law entered.

Knock knock knock─.

Winter was busy typing without saying anything.

[The left-hand side is empty! Gujachil receives the ball! Shoot!! Ouch!!!! What the heck!! The ball is floating into the air!!]

└ This is a fuck!

└ A 3-goal lead is not allowed. Seriously, it really is not allowed.

└ Put a goal!

└ Park Kwang-rae OUT! Cartoon Soccer OUT!

South Korea, unable to score a goal, suffered the Sapporo disaster by losing 3:0 to Japan.

Public opinion calling for the dismissal of Director Park Kwang-rae was slowly emerging from the shadows.

And here, director Park Kwang-rae put a period.

When reporters criticized me for not sending him.

[Director Park Kwang-rae, “Next time, all overseas players including Lee Cheong-ryong will join”]

An interview was held in which Lee Cheong-ryong, who has been out for at least half a season, was said to be considering joining the national team.

[Bolton expresses concern over manager Park Kwang-rae’s words: “Lee Cheong-ryong has not yet recovered from injury.”]

[Bolton manager Owen Coyle strongly criticizes manager Park Kwang-rae. “The worst manager who treats players as expendable tools for his own achievements.”]

Naturally, there was chaos at Bolton, Lee Cheong-ryong’s team.

[Celtic manager Lennon strongly criticizes Korea Football Association: “Korea has no will to protect players”]

Other overseas clubs that were dissatisfied with the fact that he was consistently called up to the national team despite being diagnosed with an injury, including enteritis, also released interviews.

[Director Park Kwang-rae, “Son Jin-ho is no exception. We will call up all overseas players.”]

But the most fatal ending of all was the mention of me.

When Hodongsaeng said that Director Park Kwang-rae would draft me, he released the karmic stack that Park Kwang-rae had accumulated on the Internet.

Naturally, public opinion worsened.

Korea Football Association President Cho Yeon-jong, who is seeking re-election, dismissed Park Kwang-rae in an unprocedural manner.

It was a bit of an early dismissal, before the Lebanon shock.

The dismissal of director Park Kwang-rae was a much bigger controversy than in his previous life.

Taking advantage of the slight commotion at the Korea Football Association.

“Gino, nice to meet you.”

The German Football Federation (DFB) approached him quietly.
