My Girlfriend Wants Victory - Chapter 8

A week has passed since I was called up to the U-19 national team.

With one week left until the final selection of players and eight days left until departure to the UAE.

Director Han Kwang-jong kept his word.

“I will now announce the starting lineup for the next practice match against Korea University of Technology, or rather, Yonsei University.”

Having shown outstanding performance in the training conducted over the past week, I was able to be named to the starting lineup for the practice match against Yonsei University of Technology on March 30th.

– Hou: I’m scheduled to start in the practice match on March 30th. I think I’ll also participate in the competition in UAE.

I immediately shared this news in the group chat.

Winter was the first to reply.

– It’s hot in the middle of winter: Wow, really?

– It’s hot in the middle of winter: Pushing aside the 4-year-old brothers and becoming the main character? Oh my, my boyfriend is capable~

Winter, who had been playfully congratulating them, started crying when he realized that the game was held on a weekday.

– It’s hot in the middle of winter: ㅠㅠㅠㅠBut it’s March 30thㅠㅠㅠ It’s a weekday again ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ I can’t watch the game again ㅠㅠ

– Hou: I don’t want to go to the UAE. Should I just give up on the national team and go home?

– It’s hot in the middle of winter: What? Why! Who’s bothering you?

– It’s hot in the middle of winter: I told you to tell your sister! She’ll scold you!

– Hou: No, that’s not it.

– Hou: If I go to UAE, the period of time I won’t be able to see you will increase ㅠㅠㅠㅠ What should I do if I miss you ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

It was truly a pity. It had already been a week since I had been able to embrace winter. The little winter inside me was starting to disappear.

– It’s hot in the middle of winter: Oh~ Son Jin-ho’s father has grown a little~~

– It’s hot in the middle of winter: Well, I guess you’re going crazy because you keep thinking about me because I’m pretty?

-It’s hot in the middle of winter: (Kyuu emoticon)

But Winter didn’t know my true feelings. So I threw out a famous line from the drama as a joke.

– Hou: Of course.

– Hou: Winter, can I ask you a question?

– It’s hot in the middle of winter: Huh? What is it?

– Hou: Since when has our Winter been so pretty?

I was confused because I didn’t get a reply for a long time since Winter. I was worried that I had done something wrong.

– Craftsman: Hey, be quiet. Why do I hear a deer’s cry in the house?

– Mother-in-law: Stop talking nonsense and watch and learn!

– Mother-in-law: Oh my. This guy loves winter so much. He loves it so much.

– Mother-in-law: The punk in our house has never said anything like that in his entire life.

– Craftsman: Ms. Hwang Mi-yeon. Since when has our Ms. Hwang Mi-yeon been so pretty?

– Mother-in-law: Jin-ho, don’t follow along and do something new! Ugh. It’s not cool at all.

The father-in-law and mother-in-law, who checked the group chat, told me that Gyul-woo was happy and making a noise like a deer in the room.

-Father-in-law: … Jin-ho. From now on, if you want to make a fuss, make a fuss in private.

– Golden Shield: Our student Jin-ho is a romantic.

– Golden Shield: As expected, he is a player fit for Arsenal.

– Hou: Ah, my seniors will look for it and contact you again later!

As soon as I saw that CEO Hwang Geum-sun was opening the 46th struggle board, I ran away from the group chat.

‘…I just followed the lines from the drama, so why is everyone reacting like this?’

And after worrying for a while about my family’s overreaction, I realized that the drama hadn’t aired yet.

‘Is this how you become a romantic?’

I suddenly became a romantic, but it wasn’t a bad thing. How many times did I regret sending Winter away in my last life?

My goal in this life is to make Winter happy.

That’s why I said I would grant Gyul-woo’s wish.

‘Maenggu’s Champions League victory…’

I wonder if this is really possible, but I made a promise, so shouldn’t I try my best?

I have been constantly thinking about how I can lift the Champions League trophy as smoothly as possible.

‘The best way is to join Manchester United in the winter transfer market of the 2012-2013 season when he turns 18 and lift the Big Ears before Manchester United turns dark and becomes a maniac!’

I came up with my own answer.

‘But how do you get into Manchester United?’

However, there was no solution process.

March 30th.

The South Korean U-19 national team moved to Korea University of Technology to play a practice match.

You might wonder why we are going to Korea University of Technology when we are playing against Yonsei University of Technology.

Actually, there is a backstory to this. Originally, our training partner was supposed to be Korea University of Technology.

[Korea University of Technology, indicted on charges of bribery of supervisor and embezzlement of public funds.]

Recently, the schedule for Korea University of Technology’s soccer team was hastily changed due to the coach’s involvement in an unpleasant incident.

Well. It’s not surprising because it’s something we’re used to now. It’s just amazing that the Korean national soccer team, with this kind of infrastructure, achieved the first away round of 16 in the South Africa World Cup.

Anyway, when the U-19 national team showed up at Korea University of Technology, the students there warmly welcomed us.

“Good luck to the youth national team─!!”

“Destroy Yonsei University College of Engineering─!!”

I didn’t know this because I went straight to becoming a pro in my past life, but it seems like there’s more rivalry between the two universities than I thought.

Even though they weren’t competing against Korea University of Technology, the students were heckling Yonsei University of Technology players.

‘Ah. So that’s why they just told us to use their stadium.’

I guess it’s because it’s a prestigious university that there’s a lot of academic stress.

“Waaa …

“… I’m also a student at Yonsei University College of Engineering.”

Of course, there were also players from Yonsei University of Technology on the U-19 national team, so some players had a bit of a strange look on their faces.

Anyway, the U-19 national team had an unexpected home game with the support of students from Korea University of Technology.

***

Just before the game starts.

“Nothing has been decided yet! Anyone who can’t play well on the field will be eliminated from the national team!”

Coach Han Kwang-jong gave a strong warning to the starting players just before the game started.

Being a starter in a practice match a week before departure is basically a sign of being selected, unless you mess up something really big in the match.

However, this warning can be seen as telling the players not to just take it easy and do their best just because they were selected.

However, it is not that coach Han Kwang-jong’s words were ineffective. As soon as the coach finished speaking, the expressions on the starting players’ faces, which had been slightly relaxed, became determined.

I looked at those figures, then glanced at the stands. Having spent most of my career as a midfielder, my sidelong glances had developed to the point where I could look away without being noticed when the manager explained tactics.

‘Oh. The reporters are here too.’

As I looked at the reporters, I thought of Gyul-woo, who had been making a fuss recently when his name was in the news.

– Will it snow in the middle of winter?: Wow! Awesome! Awesome!

– Will it snow in the middle of winter?: Our Jin-ho’s name is engraved on the article!

– Will it snow in the middle of winter?: If this continues, Jin-ho will become famous and abandon his older sister? ㅠㅠ

– Will it snow in the middle of winter?: ㅠㅠ Winter, I’ll do better, Jin-ho, don’t abandon Winter… ㅠㅠ

– Hou: Hahahaha what else can you do?

– Will it snow in the middle of winter?: Hmm…? Something dirty?

-Will it snow in the middle of winter?: (Embarrassing Hamster Cone)

– Craftsman: Daughter. Your father and mother are here too.

[Does it snow in the middle of winter? He left the room.]

When I recall that incident, a smile naturally appears on my face.

I guess I’ll have to score a goal and celebrate in front of them. Then there’ll be an article about it, and Winter will probably like it more, right?

“Director, is the youngest one laughing right now?”

Director Han Kwang-jong’s sharp gaze turned to me at Dongwon Tuna’s whining. I immediately fixed my expression and nodded as if I had been listening to the tactical explanation. Dongwon Tuna looked at me with a dumbfounded expression.

“… Anyway, don’t get injured and do your best.”

Director Han Kwang-jong looked into my clear eyes and finished speaking with a satisfied smile.

“korea!”

“hey!”

The U-19 national team gathered in a circle, cheered, and then took their positions.

***

In the match against Yonsei University of Technology, the U-19 national team played with a 4-4-2 formation. On the other hand, Yonsei University of Technology’s formation was a 4-2-3-1 formation.

I played as a central midfielder in this game as well. The game was, well, smooth. Maybe it was because my face looked unusually young, but the Yonsei University of Technology soccer team members didn’t take me lightly and didn’t press me hard.

“What are you doing, you idiot!”

“Stop talking behind my back and try to stop me, you little shit. This kid plays soccer like shit!”

No. Is it just a difference in ‘level’?

Anyway, after I relaxed and released the pressure from Yonsei University of Technology, I passed the ball to the right midfielder.

The wing midfielder picks up speed and starts to break through quickly. While the defenders of Yonsei University of Technology are focused on the wing midfielder.

I slowly moved towards the center.

Then, the moment the wing midfielder raised his head.

“Here─!”

I put my hand forward and asked for a pass.

The winger poked a through ball in with a look of ‘why is that kid here?’

I watched the ball approaching me and calmed my mind.

The most important thing in front of the goal is to remain calm. I slowly started reciting a spell to calm my mind.

‘You can just blow this shot into the air. I created this situation in the first place. No one will say anything if I fail to score. After all, I’m a midfielder.’

enN1WnIzcFhHMVJuR0JvdkNPc013ODRmUUIwZG82R3ZCamRSR2ZZWGVMK3RveXVXUWI2YzdmYis2Rml3VkQxOQ

As soon as I memorized the spell, surprisingly, the burden of shooting disappeared and my mind instantly became at ease.

Yeah, I’m a top box-to-box midfielder. I’m not a striker who has to score goals.

As my mind becomes more at ease, I begin to see my surroundings. I see the goalkeeper of Yonsei Technical High School rushing out in a hurry, and the ball bouncing off a defender’s foot right in front of my nose.

I calmly kicked the bottom of the ball that rose and shot over the goalkeeper.

“Waaa …

The ball flew past the goalkeeper and into the goal net. I left the cheering sounds of the Korea University students behind.

“Wow─!”

He ran straight in front of the reporters and showed off his heavy rain.

Click─!

and.

A brilliant flash enveloped my body.

Meanwhile, coach Han Gwang-jong, who saw Son Jin-ho’s scoring scene, talked to the coach with an expression like he had found a treasure.

“His composure in front of the goal is amazing. Should I try using him as a striker in the second half?”

“The attackers aren’t very good at finishing. I think it would be good to test it out.”

And the second half followed.

Son Jin-ho, who started as a striker, blew five chances with absurd shots in front of the goal, and coach Han Kwang-jong looked dumbfounded as he watched.

“What? Is this a rebellion?”
