My Girlfriend Wants Victory - Chapter 75

Let’s go back in time a little bit, before Ferguson and Jin-ho Son met.

“Do you guys know what you are now?”

Ferguson’s hairdryer was unfurled in the locker room, enraged by the performance of Manchester United players.

‘… If I see this kind of thing happening in real time, I will never come to Man U.’

It was also Ferguson’s hair dryer that caused club officials to suddenly cancel a scheduled meeting with the players.

“Berbatov, you too, you punk! If you score multiple goals, does the game end?”

Ferguson was a man who constantly gave his players trust and encouragement, but also did not spare his criticism.

‘Hmm. You’re a little angrier today.’

While the club officials wish the players well, Ferguson’s gaze turns to Pogba, who is pale in the corner of the locker room.

“You want to play on the pitch? Then prove it with your skills! A kid like you can’t even keep up with the footsteps of the now retired Scholes!”

After Alex Ferguson gave them each a warm and loving reprimand.

“Ji!”

I approached Park Ji-song.

‘…What did I do wrong?’

Park Ji-song’s expression hardened with tension as Ferguson approached.

Although Park Ji-Song had been a veteran at Manchester United, he still felt burdened by having to deal with an angry Ferguson.

Maybe it’s because he’s one of the players who doesn’t get cursed at much.

A situation where you can’t breathe due to tension.

But fortunately, Ferguson did not intend to reprimand Park Ji-song.

“Are you free this evening?”

Park Ji-song was starting to relax when she realized that it wasn’t a hair dryer.

“Oh, I have a prior engagement….”

“With who?”

“Huh? Jin-ho Son from Dortmund, my junior on the national team… .”

“Good. I’ll sit down too.”

Ferguson’s expression hardened as he continued to speak.

‘Hmm. I was going to ask you to make a seat, so that worked out well.’

Ferguson, on the other hand, nodded with a satisfied expression.

It was almost a year since Son Jin-ho started playing for Dortmund.

Son Jin-ho’s name was also heard by Ferguson and Manchester United scouts.

Wasn’t he a young, promising player who has recently taken the football world by storm?

There is no manager who would dislike a soccer player who is active and diligent in both offense and defense.

And what I like most of all is his loyalty to his team and his consideration for the fans.

Isn’t the story of how he ended up being late for school and failing his exam because he talked to a Korean student who recognized him for two hours, giving him fan service and even career advice?

‘He is a player who can be the center of rebuilding.’

That’s why Ferguson couldn’t miss this opportunity.

Tempering?

Anyway, there was no one to guard this and the association didn’t even try to catch it.

It is common to just ignore the argument that there are only regulations and no talk of transfer.

“Ah… . Yes. Then I’ll see you in the evening.”

“Oh, and if we’re going, please keep it a secret so that it feels like a surprise.”

If you say you’re going, you might feel burdened and postpone the meeting until next time.

“yes.”

Park Ji-song could not refuse Ferguson’s request as he was in a Hongik Ingan state.

The result is….

“Nice to meet you.”

Now, this was the situation.

***

“Uh… Nice to meet you.”

I shook hands with a blank expression and looked at the large tree in front of me.

Alex Ferguson.

He is a living legend who was knighted in England for leading the club Manchester United to the top of Europe and reviving English football that was in decline after the Heysel disaster. He is the football manager that Hanwha respects and likes the most.

“Excuse me, please sign this!”

Just looking at the way Han Gyul-woo, who had been hanging out next to Ferguson with his arms linked, suddenly jumps out and gets Ferguson’s autograph, isn’t that enough to explain it?

I looked at Ferguson signing autographs for Hanwha.

Ferguson didn’t take his eyes off me, though he gave me autographs affectionately, as if he was looking at his granddaughter.

It feels like the country is slowly being revealed to me through Ferguson’s sharp gaze.

I looked into Ferguson’s eyes with confidence, without losing my cool. A satisfied smile appeared on Ferguson’s lips.

“I, I have a picture over there too… .”

The moment Hanwha tried to say something more to Ferguson.

“It’s the middle of winter, the adults are talking, don’t just stay there, come here!”

My mother-in-law called in midwinter.

“Mom, I’ll just take a picture and go! And I’m older than Son Jin-ho… .”

“Swoop─! Aren’t you coming quickly?”

“… Okay, I’ll go.”

At the firm words of her mother-in-law, Han Gyul-woo, who had been looking at us with sad eyes like an ox being dragged to the slaughterhouse, moved.

“Haha… The mother and daughter really look good together.”

“… This is it? Ouch!”

“Yes, we are like sisters.”

My mother-in-law, Han Gyul-woo, Ji-song’s mother, and Lady Cathy, Lord Ferguson’s wife, sat on the sofa and started talking.

Ferguson looked at me and smiled as he said:

“Then should we talk about it?”

Is it because we lost the game?

Mr. Ferguson’s face was slightly red.

“Make yourself comfortable.”

I was looking uncomfortable, like a puppy that needs to take a dump. I smiled and advised him to relax.

– I can’t breathe! You’re the one who made me like this.

As Ferguson spoke, the lyrics of a song suddenly came to mind.

“I enjoyed the Champions League match against Arsenal. They played well.”

Despite the discomfort, Ferguson changed the mood with small talk.

“Ah. Thank you.”

Ferguson began to speak in an affectionate voice as if he were talking to his grandson, and before I knew it, I was having a variety of conversations with him.

“In football, winning is important, but in life, football is the smallest and most insignificant thing.”

“What is most important?”

“Life is the most important thing. Compared to life, football is a very small part of it.”

I nodded at Ferguson’s words.

Ferguson had a lot in common with me.

‘Come to think of it, I think you said you retired because you found it hard to see Mrs. Cathy alone.’

Manager Ferguson was also a romantic.

“Why did you start playing soccer?”

Ferguson’s words reminded me of what led me to start playing football.

“My girlfriend was a soccer fan.”

“What a great motivation. By the way, what’s your team manager like?”

I couldn’t help but smile as I recalled Jurgen falling to the ground clutching his hamstring.

“Jurgen? He’s a good guy.”

“He’s a good person… a good director.”

Come to think of it, Jurgen Klopp and Ferguson seem to have some similarities.

Should we say that he is a coach who brings out the players’ abilities to their limits?

It felt a little different from Guardiola or Tuchel, who showed a strong tactical side.

Ferguson, who thought the tension had eased somewhat with small talk, suddenly took on a serious expression and got to the main point.

“I will transfer to Manchester United.”

Ferguson continued cautiously.

“Dortmund is a good club, but it’s not the best club. You know that.”

I know the history of Manchester United since Ferguson retired.

Thump─

But when I actually received the offer from Ferguson, my heart started racing.

Is this why Joo Yong went to Arsenal?

But I am not Jesus Christ, and I cannot run through the thorny path that was planned for me, wearing a crown of thorns and carrying my cross.

therefore.

I also had to provide at least minimal safety measures.

“Can you insert a release clause into my contract that would allow me to be released if Ferguson announces his retirement during the term of my contract?”

I made a suggestion to Manager Ferguson.

It looks like Mrs. Cathy and Winter have become very close.

If you insert this clause in there, wouldn’t Ferguson think about it at least once more before he retires?

The moment Ferguson was about to answer after thinking it over, Park Ji-song, who had been quietly listening to our conversation, intervened.

“… But Jin-ho hasn’t transferred yet?”

“Oh. I see.”

***

Director Ferguson and Mrs. Cathy were the first to rise from their seats.

“Grandma, I’ll call you!”

“Okay, keep in touch often.”

Midwinter greeted Mrs. Cathy politely and saw her off.

An awkward silence flowed between me and Jisong, who was left behind in the house.

Then, Park Ji-song suddenly tried to leave the house.

“Brother, where are you going?”

“Oh, I think something urgent suddenly came up.”

“Can’t you think of anything to say other than urgent matters?”

“Um… I’m sorry. The director said he wanted to meet you.”

Park Ji-song approached me with an awkward expression and offered me an apple, and I accepted his apology.

“It’s okay, hyung. Thanks to you, I heard a lot of good stories.”

Well, actually, I imagined that if I visited Manchester United I might meet Ferguson.

I never imagined we would meet like this… .

Still, it was a valuable time in which I was able to learn a lot.

‘Didn’t you even discuss the transfer conditions there?’

I wanted to give a sufficient transfer fee to Dortmund, which is currently suffering from financial difficulties.

Ferguson agreed, provided the amount was not excessive.

And the most valuable result of all was the insertion of a release clause into Ferguson’s contract that would trigger if he retired during the contract term.

When Ferguson retires, won’t he think about it at least once?

While I was recalling my conversation with Ferguson.

Park Ji-song opened her mouth carefully.

“But Jin-ho, are you really going to retire from the national team?”

“Already retired?”

“But wouldn’t it be better to debut and then retire? I think that’s what the fans want too.”

I responded to Jisong’s words with silence, and he didn’t offer any more advice.

‘I guess someone asked you to do it.’
