Shooting Trajectory is Visible - Chapter 90



Only Krnovel

=======================================================

Suwon Shenyang Bluewings were on the verge of relegation last season.

The only good thing was that they avoided finishing in 12th place, which would have automatically resulted in relegation.

Suwon Shenyang advanced to the playoffs in 11th place in the league, and barely managed to stay in the K League 1 division this season by beating their opponent Gimpo.

It was truly a prestigious and tenacious club with a long lifespan.

-······This is Kim Min-woo from Hannover! Please give him a round of applause!

And I played in a match between Suwon and Shenyang.

To be exact, the axis.

Just like in baseball, where they have celebrities throw out the first pitch before a game, there was a similar culture in the K-League, and I was invited by Suwon Shenyang to throw the first pitch.

He recorded a short video message of support before entering the stadium.

“Whaaaaaaaah-!”

Since we are playing today against Seoul Furics, a team from the same metropolitan area, the number of spectators was much larger than expected. Should we call it a super match?

I smiled brightly, waved, and walked out.

-For today’s game in particular, he said he would try to block Suwon players’ shots rather than Kim Min-woo’s!

Then again, a thunderous roar erupted.

It’s an eventful day.

It is true that being called to Suwon Seonyang to celebrate the victory was largely due to the influence of Han Seung-woo and Kim Jun-young.

How could I refuse as an old friend when he asks me to come out just once?

Anyway, during the negotiation process, I changed it from directly driving to blocking.

Since I am a goalkeeper by profession and have set a record of 18 clean sheets in the Bundesliga and no goals conceded in the Asian Cup, Suwon really wanted to keep me as their goalkeeper. I agreed.

But in this case, what should we call it instead of a shi-chuk? Since it’s a blocking, should we call it a preemptive strike? Since the connotation conjures up a different meaning, let’s just call it a preemptive strike.

And my opponent was none other than Kim Jun-young.

Kim Jun-young has grown a lot without even realizing it, and has been called up to the first team, where he is working hard as both a starter and a substitute.

Today’s timekeeper was decided to be Kim Jun-young, who won rock-paper-scissors between Kim Jun-young and Han Seung-woo. Kim Jun-young looked quite serious as he held the ball in front of him.

‘Hey, you punk. Are you really trying to be serious about this?’

What, I’m currently wearing Suwon Shenyang’s uniform, top and bottom.

In addition, he was properly equipped with goalkeeper gloves and soccer cleats…

I looked at Kim Jun-young with a smile. Kim Jun-young also looked at me and smiled.

Did he tell you to go see him in action since he was the starting pitcher for today’s game?

Since Seungwoo Han was also a starter today, I planned to watch the whole game no matter how it turned out.

and,

Beep-!

A whistle to start.

Kim Jun-young approaches slowly.

And the trajectory was visible.

‘We have to stop this, we have to stop this…’

My thoughts were just that.

Just before Kim Jun-young kicked, I reflexively moved my body to block his trajectory.

Then, with a thud, he made a clean save. His body moved reflexively.

‘I’ve become a goalkeeper too.’

Kim Jun-young covered his face with both hands in frustration. The audience of over 20,000 people laughed and applauded, and I approached Kim Jun-young and hugged him.

“Hey kid. Do your best. I’ll see you at the national team.”

“Hey, brother. I got some energy so I’ll score a goal today. I’m feeling it right now.”

“Hehehe. Are you looking forward to it?”

“Oh, of course!”

So I finished my defense show amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the audience. Then I went up to the designated VIP seats to watch the game.

“Player Kim Min-woo! Can you play as our goalkeeper just once!?”

I turned my head and saw that it was one of the Suwon Sunyang supporters. When I made eye contact, the female fans around me started squealing and making pterosaur sounds.

I was going to make a joke about coming back in 20 years, but I ended up just giving him a thumbs up.

*

I watched the game quietly.

A showdown between Suwon and Seoul.

My thoughts after watching the first 30 minutes.

‘It’s higher level than I thought?’

I think the teammates I met at the Asian Cup gave me a preconceived notion. The K-League was a better league than I expected. It was not lacking compared to the Bundesliga 2nd division.

‘So, um. Of course, there’s a difference between them and the top tier in Part 2, but at least they’re comparable to the middle tier or lower tier.’

I watched the game and especially focused on Kim Jun-young and Han Seung-woo, and neither player did badly.

The form that was used to dominate the high school leagues did not go away, and they were doing their part even in the top league of the K-League.

So you can jump from there, right?

“Aren’t we really going to meet at the national team later?”

Actually, I wasn’t that surprised because Han Seung-woo had been playing the role of Suyang High School’s ace even before meeting me, but Kim Jun-young was unexpected.

Is that the same guy who was bickering with me just a year ago? He probably lost his explosive growth now that he doesn’t even have a running mate.

“Was he originally destined to do well, or was his running mate a big influence?”

Watching Kim Jun-young, who was able to outrun his opponents without a running mate, made me feel happy, but I also hoped that next time we would run together wearing the Taegeuk mark.

“Why are you mumbling to yourself like that? Sometimes I see you looking like an old man…”

“whatever.”

Kim Shin-a, who was watching the game from the side, smiled brightly and then suddenly started taking something out of her pocket.

Let’s just watch from afar. What Kim Shin-ah took out of her pocket was her middle finger. She took out her middle finger and held it out in front of me.

“Eat this.”

Wow, the crowd cheered.

I turned my head to see if a goal had been scored, but no. We were on the giant screen installed in the stadium.

Kim Shin-ah quickly put her middle finger away. I laughed and thought to myself.

‘Isn’t that a photo?’

***

“Okay, Lee Ki-jae is turning it over again. Kim Jun-young is turning around. Kim Jun-young!”

“Ahhh! This won’t go in! Kim Jun-young hits the ground in disappointment!”

The commentary team commentated with regret as the game was falling into a state of chaos. The process of turning around and hitting the ball while turning away from the defender was clean, but it was blocked by the goalkeeper.

And the commentators continued their commentary, but then suddenly stopped talking when the screen suddenly changed.

“Oh, and this time, the umpire of the game, to be exact, is Kim Min-woo and his younger sister who came out to block.”

Kim Min-woo and Kim Shin-ah, caught on the broadcast screen, were bickering as if they were talking. The broadcast crew looked at the scene with pleasure.

“They are really handsome. Kim Min-woo’s younger sister could be an idol.”

“I bet there will be a meme circulating around the soccer community soon? Haha.”

And then suddenly, Kim Shin-ah’s middle finger is caught on the broadcast screen. It’s right in front of Kim Min-woo, so it’s caught right in the center of the screen.

“Oh, oh, oh!”

“Oh my god···.”

“It was a common greeting between siblings.”

The commentators sighed, and Suwon Shenyang fans, watching it on the big screen, laughed and applauded.

Kim Shin-ah, who realized the situation too late, quickly pulled out her middle finger to check the situation, but it was already after everything had gone out on the screen.

“Ah, the way you look at things is cute too.”

“Yes. And once again, it’s Kim Jun-young!”

This time it was a goal.

Corner kick header.

A goal sucked into a corner.

Then the relay team quickly raised their voices.

“It went in! It went in! Two goals in a row!”

“Suyang High School’s Kim Jun-young! Suyang High School’s Kim Min-woo! Suyang High School’s Han Seung-woo! With all these players gathered in one high school, it’s no wonder they sweep all kinds of competitions!”

“Ah, if Kim Min-woo had gone to Suwon, Suwon would have really done something. But even without Kim Min-woo, we still have Kim Jun-young here! It looks like we’ve secured the K-League Rookie of the Year award!”

.

.

And the soccer community.

“Kim Min-woo and his younger sister greet each other affectionately (Video O)”

The post contained a video clip of the broadcast crew screaming. A clip of Kim Shin-ah giving Kim Min-woo the middle finger.

→ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

→Isn’t that the high school girl that was on YouTube Shorts recently? She’s a hot topic because she can’t dance but is charming.

→Please give me a link

→Ooh…

→So cute lol

Kim Shin-a became a celebrity that day by leaving a video not only in the soccer community but also in all communities in Korea.

···Did it go well?

***

I had a short but fulfilling time in Korea.

As I said last time that I would film a YouTube video if I won the second part, I met with several YouTubers during this break and filmed them. During this time, I also worked out in between in case I lost the muscle mass I had worked hard to build up.

And now, it’s time to go back to Germany.

I was scheduled to play a few friendly matches in Hannover and then be called up to the national team for the Olympics.

In fact, more important than the friendly match was the resumption of the postponed negotiations, but that was a problem that the adults had to solve.

What about me······ Let’s just focus on soccer.

“Go.”

Kim Shin-ah, who rose to stardom overnight after the video of her recent appearance was spread all over the Korean internet, turned her head with a pouty expression.

Because I kept that posture, my mom started showing off her skills.

“Hey, is it Shin-ah?”

When her mother put strength into her eyes, the prickly Kim Shin-ah reluctantly smiled like a baby, and after a family hug, we were able to leave Korea.

That’s how I came back to Germany, Hanover.

“Kim. Are you going to continue to stay in Hanover?”

All the citizens I met on the street were saying things like, “Aren’t you going to renew your contract? Are you going to renew your contract? You’re not going to suddenly leave, are you?” and so on.

The citizens welcomed me but also seemed secretly anxious, and every time that happened, I tried to cover it up with answers that only politicians would give.

“We are reviewing it positively.”

“I also want to remain in Hanover.”

“There are good discussions going on with the club, so it will be okay.”

I can’t give you a definitive answer, but I’m sure it’s a good story to hear. The citizens were satisfied with just that much.

And again a meeting with Hannover’s sporting director Markus Kind.

This time, it wasn’t the director’s office, but a dinner party. Kint was dressed up nicely, and we also dressed up for the occasion.

“Hello, Kim.”

“Yes. Hello. But who is the person next to you···?”

Kint wasn’t alone. There was another slender woman next to him.

“Oh. She’s my daughter. It’s nothing special, I just brought her here to make up the numbers. Is that okay?”

“Yes, of course.”

And Kint’s daughter greets him with a shy smile.

“I’m the same age as you.”

Kint winked one eye. I looked at Kint’s daughter with an awkward smile.

“My name is Lena Becker.”

“Oh, yes. My name is Kim Min-woo. Feel free to call me ‘Kim.’”

Lena nodded. Unlike the captain who had almost no hair, Lena Becker’s hair was thick. It was shiny and her clothes were bold, just like Barbie.

‘I’ve been in Germany for a long time, so I’m starting to get used to seeing foreigners. I feel like the monument to the exile of Heungseon Daewongun, which was deeply embedded in me, is crumbling…’

We sat down at the table, decided on our food, and as if things had been decided, small talk began to flow.

In particular, Kindt seemed to be trying to bring Lena and me together by focusing the conversation, and once he opened the door, Lena and I continued talking.

As I listened to Lena’s story, a thought suddenly occurred to me.

‘This bald guy has extraordinary speaking skills.’

This is a solemn place to discuss contract renewal.

But without me even realizing it, it was starting to feel like a blind date.

My mother whispered in my ear, as if she didn’t really hate this atmosphere.

“Do you like that girl named Lena?”

“Huh? What?”

“I was just asking.”

“I don’t know.”

As I was sitting there, my mom laughed and the food came in.

And the conversation topics moved on to the stories that will be told in Part 1 and conversations related to player recruitment.

“Kim. As you know, the 2nd and 1st divisions are on different levels. You had 18 consecutive clean sheets in the 2nd division, but that record will inevitably be broken if you go up to the 1st division.”

“Yes, Captain. I am aware of it too.”

“That’s why Jan asked for reinforcements. We’ll probably see a lot of new players before the opening of the first season.”

And in line with that, all the players who have been underperforming will either be released, re-signed with other teams, or sent on loan.

There are several that come to mind right now.

I think either Corsic or Halstenberg will leave the team… Hmm. I don’t know. Corsic is also looking at becoming a starter thanks to his running mate.

I don’t know what choice the manager will make, but I hope that choice will ultimately help the team.

I also want to postpone getting hit as much as possible.

“Now, I would like to get to the main point, sir.”

Mom, who had wiped her mouth with a napkin, opened the door. Now, the real time had come.

It’s time for business.

What was the suggestion your mom made last time?

Was it a 1-year contract renewal with an annual salary of 6 billion won, and a 30 billion won buyout? Were the detailed options maintained as they are?

We stared blankly at the captain’s mouth.

What will the captain say here?

Markus Kind deliberately moved slowly, stalling for time, then nodded cautiously.

“We at Hanover intend to accept most of Choi’s original proposals, with the exception of a few clauses.”

“I’m listening.”

Mom answered.

I swallowed hard and listened.

If I accept most of the offers, what? Am I really getting a salary of 6 billion won?

He hasn’t finished talking yet, so I guess I’ll have to listen more.

Kint looked back and forth between me and my mother, then opened his mouth again.
