Episode 232 The Only Way to Break Through Kim
The end result of this fight was three yellow tags.
The instigator of the fight, Wan-Bissaka, and the opposing player each received one yellow card, while the remaining one went to a Fulham player.
If we look at the cause, it is that the protest to the referee was too strong. EPL referees are already famous for their stubbornness, stubbornness, and authority, so it was natural for the card to be collected because the protest to the referee was strong.
Anyway, the game resumed again.
What’s really funny is that when the players are fighting and the referee is running around trying to mediate, these directors take advantage of the gap and bring in some of the players to give them tactical instructions…
‘You guys are really passionate. It’s not like it’s a cooling break.’
Taking advantage of the players’ fight to give tactical instructions.
Aren’t those people called directors the ones who are more serious about winning than anyone else?
“Kim!”
The ball came to me during the build-up.
I received the ball and looked around for a moment.
‘Eek.’
And then, realizing that there was no time for that, he passed the ball forward. Fulham, being a Premier League team, had considerable forward pressure.
McTominay, who received the ball, lost the ball under Fulham’s pressure. Fulham’s counterattack continued once again.
‘It’s you again, McTominay?’
I just sent you a ball, you punk!
The following situation is defensive number 4. offensive number 4.
Fulham’s midfielder, who had won the ball, ran forward and passed the ball to the left wing, who then kicked it powerfully with his right foot.
The shot was sent between the defender’s legs, which limited my field of vision, but I had Yashin’s eye, which was more intuitive than that.
“Ugh!”
It was a right-footed curl shot. It was such a good shot that if the timing of the run had been even a little bit late, it would have split the net.
I saved Manchester United’s midfield with my own hands once again.
“also.”
Varane runs over and asks for a high five. I accept it absentmindedly. In addition, there are Maguire, Wan-Bissaka, and even McTominay, the instigator of the incident…
Oh my.
After that, Fulham continued to push Manchester United. It’s a bit embarrassing to say this, but the goalkeeper’s saves were absolutely crucial in saving Manchester United from the brink.
“Come again?”
Fulham players would regularly come up to my goal shouting ‘I’m a fan’.
Every time that happened, I would get annoyed, but since you’re a fan, I can’t not give you an autograph, right?
I did not hesitate to grant all the Fulham players’ requests for saves.
He flew to block the ball coming towards the left goal.
“Fuck!”
He also flew towards the right goal and blocked it.
“Shit!”
Even in a chaotic situation where things were chaotic and chaotic, I didn’t lose focus and kept defending until the end.
“God Damn!”
And the Fulham strikers were moved to tears by my save.
Yeah, yeah. You’d go crazy if you saw my defense in person, which was only rumored. Hehe. Those guys. Look at them enjoying it.
If you guys want, I can show you until the end of the game today.
.
And as time went by, the end of this game was approaching.
Giovanni took courage from my save and replaced McTominay with Kim Jun-young.
That means Manchester United’s midfield is now left to Nicolo Rovella alone to take charge of.
I guess I left it there because I believed he was also Italian, but I’m not sure.
“Hey kid. You’re running so hard… .”
As always, Kim Jun-young was running as if there was no tomorrow as soon as he was put in. Seriously, he was running every time I saw him.
And as the saying goes, good things come to those who work hard, and the guy got a crucial opportunity.
Second half 90 minutes.
Captain Bruno took a deflection and curled a shot from the left edge of the box, which was saved by the Fulham goalkeeper.
Literally, they only blocked it, but didn’t catch it.
The ball bounced once.
And Kim Jun-young picked up the bounced ball and pushed it into the goal.
It was an incredibly easy goal. How did he just stay there in that situation? Is that a reasonable positioning?
That goal was practically the deciding goal of the game. It would be an impossible mission to catch up to a goal scored in the 90th minute of the second half, even if another goalkeeper was in charge of the goal.
And Kim Jun-young runs to the area with the flag, spinning the windmill with both hands.
I was happy with it, but also a little disappointed.
“It’s really easy for a striker to become a hero. A goalkeeper gets cursed at if he makes five saves but gets hit once.”
Well, Kim Jun-young is an exception. He seems to build up fear every time he appears, but he is almost intentionally ignored.
*Fear (Attack Points)
Anyway, I clapped my hands to congratulate Kim Jun-young on his fifth league goal. If you include the EFL and Europa League, the attack points will probably be in the double digits.
‘But since it’s like this, I think I’ll be able to compete occasionally.’
Perhaps Giovanni would have tried him once and not been very interested, so he would have just been left off the roster and then loaned or transferred in the winter transfer market.
The Giovanni I have watched so far is a person who is still like that… .
Beep— beep— beep!
And the game ends.
Although it was difficult, we ended up winning the match against Fulham.
One difference from Hannover is that Hannover ended up with a draw, while Manchester United ended up with a narrow win.
There were times when I thought, ‘Is this a team?’ but if we managed to get even a slight win,
That was also one of the reasons I transferred.

After a long time, I got a call from H&B CEO Philip Harris. After greeting me for the first time, Philip Harris got into the real story.
“We received a request for broadcast cooperation from Korea. It seems like he’s a famous YouTuber. I think he has around 2 million subscribers. Is 2 million considered high in Korea? Kim?”
“… A 2 million YouTuber? Um, yes. That’s a very high number.”
I guess because English-speaking YouTubers have global subscribers, having 2 million subscribers seems like nothing special.
In a country like Korea that uses an isolating language, 2 million was a huge number.
“But where is it? What’s the channel name?”
“It’s called Shoot in Love.”
“… … ?”
Wait a minute. If it’s Shoot in Love, isn’t it the place where I filmed it with Lee Chun-soo and Lee Kang-im when I was in Suyang High School?
“I heard that he is currently filming European content and he is desperately asking for Kim to appear. By the way, the people who have appeared on this YouTuber’s broadcast are as follows: Kim from Munich, Son from Tottenham, and―”
“Ah. Ah. It’s okay. I know. Does Park appear there too?”
“Park from Manchester United? Yes, I heard he’s coming. I’ll probably get in touch with Kim personally soon.”
“hmm.”
Actually, I also enjoyed watching the Man for Europe content on Shoot in Love. I was wondering when I would get a call, and it seems like it’s finally my turn.
“It will probably be a small or no appearance fee, but Kim, would you like to appear? If you don’t want to, we will give you a reasonable excuse to decline.”
“No. Not to that extent….”
I had several conversations with Philip Harris about other issues after that and then we lost touch. And that was the beginning.
Next up was the captain, Richard Johnson.
“Kim, as you know, there is a player in Manchester who is of very old Korean descent.”
“If you mean Park, then yes, I know.”
“He said he wanted to meet you. He wanted to talk about Manchester. He wanted to bring in a YouTuber.”
“Yes. I already heard about it from my agent.”
“Kim. I wish Kim could meet Park. What do you think?”
“I am…….”
Before I got into soccer in earnest, I also knew the name ‘Park Ji-Sung’ clearly.
How can you not know?
He is one of the legends of 2002 and a Manchester United legend who scored goals in the 2006 and 2010 South Africa World Cups.
And a player like that wants to meet me?
“Ugh… .”
Is there any reason to worry?
But I am worried.
To Son Heung-min, Park Ji-sung is a legendary player, but to me, Son Heung-min is a legend.
A legend above legends and a monopoly.
“Okay, I’ll do it. But why didn’t Park contact me directly?”
“I heard you don’t have my contact information.”
“……yes?”
No, if I just contact the national team players once, I can get my contact information right away.
Oh. Are you worried that I might feel uncomfortable if you contact me even though I didn’t receive it directly?
‘Just the earth.’
Although it wasn’t specific, I gave a verbal confirmation and then cut off contact again.
And things moved very quickly after that.
What concept will the broadcast have, what stories will we share, where will we meet and what will we do…
‘You’re just a YouTuber, but you decide things in such detail?’
Isn’t it great?
The specific broadcast date has been set for three weeks later.
In three weeks… … .
“Wow. We’re about to play against Man City?”
It’s fun, it’s fun.
I think I will talk a lot on the broadcast. The reason I started playing soccer, my days at Suyang High School, and the unforgettable days at Hannover, and now at Manchester United.
It will probably record the highest number of views in Shoot in Love history.
No, not that.

The ensuing match against Nottingham was a frustrating one, like watching Hannover painted in red ink.
When that didn’t work out, he switched back to the original bolante and brought in Kim Jun-young, but Nottingham’s manager must have already analyzed the match against Fulham and responded appropriately accordingly.
The resulting score was 0:0.
It’s the first draw after four straight wins.
Even though the number one spot was still secure, it would be difficult if it continued like this in the future.
‘Fortunately, two players returned before Wolverhampton.’
I heard in passing that all five injured players will return before the match against Man City.
You just have to defend well until then.
And with the winter transfer market set to open after the Man City game, things could only get better, not worse, than they are now.
[Hwang Hee-cheon: lol]
[Hwang Hee-cheon: See you soon?]
A random message.
As it turned out, the next match was against Wolverhampton.
I giggled at this sudden and unexpected message and replied.
[Kim Min-woo: Hmm… After Gyuseong hyung, is it Hee-cheon hyung next…?]
[Kim Min-woo: Actually, Hong Min-hyung was also blocked by me]
[Hwang Hee-cheon: What do you mean by a good person from the same hometown? Just feed him once.]
[Kim Min-woo: If we meet again for the next evaluation match, I’ll treat you to one haha]
[Hwang Hee-cheon: The national team is the same team -_-]
[Kim Min-woo: I’ll feed you some while you train~]
[Kim Min-woo: I think you can brag to your colleagues that you scored a goal for Kim Min-woo]
[Hwang Hee-cheon: Just wait and see…]
[Kim Min-woo: Okay, I’ll just wait and see how the ball rolls]
Haha. At least we won the initiative.

Wolverhampton manager Gary O’Neill is left scratching his head ahead of their clash with Manchester United.
Even after watching Manchester United’s matches and analyzing them with the coaches, there was no sign of them scoring a goal.
When no solution was found during the meeting, one of the coaches who had been quiet until then raised his hand.
“There is only one way.”
“What is it?”
“If Onana comes out instead of Kim, it’ll be worth it. At least she’ll score a goal.”
“… Is that what you call it now? Then what are you saying, I should just wait in front of Kim’s house and get my ankles kicked?”
“It’s just like that… .”
Coach, you’re the one who makes the sound of clothes bursting.
… In fact, Gary O’Neill also wished that someone had done the same.
A few angry fans out of control, hoping to cause Kim a minor fender bender that would keep him out of that game.
Even in the pre-match interview, Gary O’Neill showed some nervousness.
It wasn’t like that at all in the past, but no matter how much I analyzed it, Manchester United, or more precisely, Manchester United with Kim standing in front of the goal, didn’t seem to have any chance of winning.
“So far, Kim has still kept a clean sheet. How do you plan to play that game, coach?”
“The opportunity will come. Kim’s record is certainly amazing, but Kim is human and will make mistakes at some point.”
“Is that someday going to happen against Wolverhampton?”
“I hope so too.”
Normally, I would say that, even if it’s just empty words! But I didn’t have the luxury of doing that.
One thought that was swirling around in Gary O’Neill’s head was ‘How can we get Kim off the field?’
‘Fuck. Should I tell my players to behave badly in front of the goal?’
Since he’s a human made of blood and bones anyway, wouldn’t Giovanni order a replacement if he collided with him a few times out of concern for injuries?
‘I’ve gone as far as I can go. What are these thoughts?’
And that strategy has already been implemented by Arsenal manager Arteta, who ended up dancing Gangnam style in his pants.
No matter how flawless it was, I didn’t want to use violent methods to crack Manchester United’s defense.
‘… … Then there is no way.’
Gary O’Neill bit his lip as he was asked the next question. It was a day when I envied Giovanni. If I had a goalkeeper like that, I would have been praised as a manager who could surpass even the bald Pep.
