Shooting Trajectory is Visible - Chapter 154

Before the transfer market opens

* * *

It has been a little less than a year and three months since Kim Min-woo officially debuted.

And as he continued his unbelievable performance for a little over a year, Kim Min-woo began receiving compliments from various famous figures in the soccer world.

Words that most world-class people receive before they can fully develop their abilities. If you look into it.

[Sometimes I think I am a master of the century. Probably most directors who have Kim in their hands would think so. – Jan Lytle]

[There is no doubt that Lev Yashin was reincarnated into Kim’s body. – Philip Lam]

[I am sure he will become the best goalkeeper in the world. – Michael Ballack]

[When I was the Korean coach, if I had brought Kim in, he would have been the coach for life. – Klinsgel]

[The history of world football will be divided into before and after the emergence of Kim. – Oliver Kahn]

So far, these are the words of German legends.

[I made Kim Min-woo play soccer. – Yoo Jin-ho]

[This player’s nationality is South Korea – Park Jun-seo (commentator)]

[Maybe we are welcoming a player who is greater than the team – Choi Jun-ho (caster)]

[Kim Min-woo is a very important player in Korean soccer. He has enough skills to make a name for himself all over the world. – Choi Yong-seok]

[I think the next World Cup is an opportunity to break the 2002 World Cup’s stronghold, and the reason I think so is because of Kim Min-woo. You all watched the game, so I don’t need to say anything, right? – Son Heung-min]

So far, these are the comments from people in the Korean soccer world.

[I didn’t lose to Kim, Kim was just lucky – Kylian Mbappe]

[I will teach Kim the bitter taste of life (before the game) … We have to accept the lesson of life (after the game) – Thierry Henry]

[The most impressive goalkeeper I’ve ever seen. – Lionel Messi]

Here are some comments from soccer figures I met at the Olympics.

And these were the words spoken about a goalkeeper who has yet to participate in any international competition other than the Olympics and the U23 Asian Cup.

If you build your career by participating in prestigious and prestigious competitions like the Champions League or Europa League… … how many quotes you will accumulate.

At the same time, Kim Min-woo was also a goalkeeper who confused professional gamblers.

Europe is called a sports betting paradise, and it is a continent with many gamblers.

The Bundesliga is one of the top five leagues in Europe, so it is a league that many gamblers pay attention to and actually places a lot of bets on, but the problem is.

“Hannover never loses a game when Kim plays! But Hannover is clearly a weak team!”

Professional gamblers were troubled by every Hannover game. It is obvious that Hannover is a weak team, so the odds should be high, but Kim’s presence was constantly lowering Hannover’s odds.

Professional gamblers make careful decisions after much thought and consideration, but for casual gamblers who place small bets, there is no club more filial than Hannover.

“Why on earth are you worrying about that? If Hannover plays and Kim plays, it’s just a 50% chance! Win or draw!”

Hannover, which had a jinx of never losing a game in which Kim played, was becoming a club loved by light gamblers.

Of course, when Kim was unable to play due to injury and the announcement of the starting lineup was delayed, there were voices everywhere saying, “He’s killing Yan,” but let’s let that slide.

In addition, if you go into the details, you can bet on Hannover keeping a clean sheet, and you can bet on things like Mane… … The odds for this part kept dropping as Kim kept a clean sheet.

When all of Europe, especially Germany, was talking the most about Kim, naturally, the YouTubers who were obsessed with views didn’t miss it.

“Should I try to get some views after a long time?”

You’re a travel YouTuber, but you’re also a patriot?

This was the formula for viewing figures.

(I visited Hanover, which has been a hot topic recently)

Just capturing the sight of Hannover fans can make it onto the trending real-time videos, so Hannover has become a pilgrimage site for travel YouTubers.

“Okay! Everyone! I’ve come to see you again! Of course I won’t be able to meet Kim Min-woo today, but I’ll try to interview fans while I’m walking around the streets of Hanover!”

Park Geun-woo, a former travel YouTuber with 150,000 subscribers, was the YouTuber who had met Kim Min-woo alone and filmed a video a long time ago, when Kim Min-woo was about to conceive in Part 2.

And the travel YouTuber with 150,000 followers has seen explosive growth since that video, and now has 650,000 followers.

Although he can’t say that he gained 500,000 subscribers because of one video he shot with Kim Min-woo, Park Geun-woo still feels grateful to Hanover and Kim Min-woo because the video was a turning point and his subscribers increased significantly.

“Are you Korean?”

Naturally, an Asian man walking around the streets of Hanover with a camera caught the eye of the Hanoverians, and the Hanoverians spoke directly to Park Geun-woo’s camera.

“Please! Don’t let Kim leave Hanover!”

“Just for this season!”

“Kim! Kim! Kim! Kim! Kim! Kim!”

“Calm down, everyone.”

Park Geun-woo interviewed Hannover fans and also played a balance game for video content.

“If you could bring anyone to Hannover, who would you bring? Kim vs Harry Kane.”

“You call that a word? Of course it’s Kim!”

“If you’re going to pick Harry Kane, you need to have three players at Harry Kane’s level before you have to worry about that.”

“Oh, is that it?”

“Of course! Kim is just like Messi in Hanover!”

“So what about Kim vs Messi?”

This time, the fans have no worries at all.

“Kim! Kim! Kim! Kim! Kim!”

Just Kimmusae.

Park Geun-woo laughed heartily and then adjusted his balance once again.

“So what about Kim vs Messi, Neuer, Mbappe and Ronaldo? They will all play for Hannover for three years.”

“Oh… … This is. Hmm.”

“Hey! Why are you worrying about this!? Of course it’s Kim! If there are six Messi, I choose Messi!”

“Still, this is a bit….”

“This disloyal bastard! Kim devoted so much to Hanover!”

Park Geun-woo pretended to stop him on the outside, but he smiled faintly on the inside. At this point, the number of views was guaranteed.

Also, regarding Kim, who is famous not only in Asia but also around the world, Japanese reporters went to see him after the game and asked him questions unrelated to soccer in order to satisfy their nationalism.

“Kim, do you know Otani?”

“Ohtani? Shohei Ohtani?”

As Kim hints at a hint of knowledge, the Japanese reporters nod their heads in visibly pleased amused amazement.

“Yes! It’s Shohei Ohtani, who is doing great in the major leagues!”

“Yes, I know. Although our sports are different, I am also inspired by Otani. I think he is a great player.”

“Hehehe~”

The Japanese reporters went straight to heaven after Kim Min-woo lightly touched them. The corners of the Japanese reporters’ mouths didn’t even think about lowering.

‘Yoshi! If you write an article about Shohei Otani, who is also respected by Minwoo Kim, you’ll be fine!’

And the reaction from Japanese commenters was predictable.

―Huh! Praise from a goalkeeper who is just starting his career, it’s worse than nothing! (Do more, do more, do more, do more, do more)

―Ohtani is recognized by Koreans… I feel bad! (I’m so happy to be recognized by a goalkeeper who is highly praised in Europe)

After the match against Heidenheim, the countdown to the winter transfer market opening is in full swing.

Kim Min-woo visited the Hanover Children’s Hospital again after a very long time.

I didn’t intend to go there in person, it was because of a club event, just like last time.

Naturally, the children raised their hands above their heads and greeted Kim Min-woo as soon as they saw him.

“Wow! Wow! Kim!”

The children had changed a lot since the last time I came, but their innocence was still the same.

“Hi guys.”

“Kim! You’re back! I wasn’t expecting you, but it’s really nice to see you!”

“Oh? Hello?”

The kids kept telling me I had to get their autograph first, and some of the kids who were left out started crying because they were so crowded.

Every time that happened, Kim Min-woo would come and comfort the crying children. When the other children saw that, they thought, “This is it!” and started crying too, and the confusion grew more and more.

“Boohoo! Kim! Me too! Boohoo!”

“Hey… … Kids. Don’t cry! Santa Claus doesn’t come to children who cry!”

“It’s okay! Kim came to visit instead of Santa! I guess we can skip this year!”

“Sophie! Help me!”

“Hehehe. Yes.”

Sophie, who had been watching blankly from the side, actively helped Kim Min-woo with his request, and other club officials who came with him also smiled and mediated the situation.

‘The situation is very different from the last time I came.’

At that time, I had just come after the Dortmund match.

A surprise hero who only appeared in one game.

And now, he is a real hero who continues to play in every game and keeps Hannover alive.

“Kim. I remember the promise I made a year ago. The other kids here don’t know because they’ve only been here for a short time, but I know. Kim will never leave Hanover.”

Kim Min-woo just smiled happily without saying anything. Then, the child’s eyes trembled slightly and he spoke with a wavering expression.

“… No? Kim? Are you really going to abandon us?”

“It’s not about throwing it away. It’s about leaving with a smile on your face, by mutual agreement.”

“… … !?”

When the children heard that, they were shocked for a moment and then all started crying.

“Eeeeek! Kim’s leaving!”

“Waaaaaaah!”

“Oh, no, guys. I didn’t say I was leaving, I said I was abandoning you, so I corrected that. Guys?”

“Waaaaaaah!”

… My head hurts for the first time in a long time.

“Kim! Please don’t abandon us! Aaaah!”

The ward became more and more chaotic.

When the children wouldn’t calm down, Kim Min-woo had no choice but to take extraordinary measures.

“Okay, I got it, I got it. I won’t leave. Okay? I’ll stay in Hanover.”

“Whaaaa! Kim! Kim! Kim! Kim! Kim!”

… … ?

How can you stop crying and start laughing with just one word?

Should I call this pure or clever?

After finishing the event at the hospital, Kim Min-woo got into Sophie’s car and looked out the window with a slightly exhausted expression.

Then Sophie glanced at Kim Min-woo,

“Player Kim Min-woo?”

“…yes?”

“So, you’re really not leaving?”

Kim Min-woo laughed at those words.

I really feel like I’m getting neurotic now.

It’s not just one or two people, but everyone I meet asks me if I’m going to leave or not, and it makes me feel like I didn’t have any feelings before.

‘Oh my. Especially that Corsic guy… .’

I heard from colleagues that the original rule was to remain silent or not burden others when it came to transfer-related matters.

Because we are all the same players and family in the same industry.

However, those players also expressed their opinion that it would be better for them to remain in Hannover, although the choice is yours.

Even Corsic.

“Please! Kim! I don’t know what it is, but since you came here, I feel like I know a little bit about soccer! Don’t leave! If you leave, take me with you!”

Why do I keep laughing whenever I think about that time?

“… Hmm. If Kim Min-woo leaves, I’ll be very sad, but I’ll understand. So, can you just tell me? I won’t tell anyone.”

A road with a traffic light.

Sophie speaks in a slightly serious voice.

I looked at Sophie with a faint smile on my face.

“Well, it’s true that I received an offer from a certain club that I couldn’t refuse.”

“yes.”

Sophie looks a little uneasy.

But my mind has already been made up.

People of Hanover, my colleagues, don’t make a fuss, I.

“It will still be there. At least for this season.”

“… I see. Then it’s certain that you’ll be leaving when this season ends.”

“Sophie. In Korea, there is a saying called ‘Hoejajeongri.’”

“Reorganization of the characters? Are they Chinese characters?”

“Yes. It means that if we meet, we will definitely part.”

“… … Aha. Good words… no, sad words. If we meet, we will surely part.”

“Because that’s the way life is.”

“Hehe, yeah. Well. I guess so.”

And the signal changes.

Sophie started driving again and we drove to the clubhouse.

For some reason, Sophie had a sad expression on her face.

“That’s good. I really wanted to say something to Kim Min-woo, but it’s been pushed back by half a year!”

“Yes? Is there something you really wanted to say?”

“yes.”

“… What is it? Can I tell you now?”

“No. I’m scared. I’ll tell you next time.”

“… Um. Yes. Okay.”

After that we stayed in silence, and the car quickly arrived at the clubhouse.
