My Girlfriend Wants Victory

---

FC Barcelona, with the early joining of Neymar and Suárez during the summer transfer window, formed the MSN trio.

“Hey, you little pig, go to the Number 9 position. I’ll make space for you on the right.”

In the early part of the season, Lionel Messi was playing as a false 9 for a while, but feeling that Enrique’s tactics were inefficient, Messi instructed Suárez to move to the 9 position.

“I’ll talk to Lucho (Luis Enrique/FC Barcelona manager), so just move!”

Though it could be seen as overstepping the coach’s authority, Luis Enrique and the FC Barcelona hierarchy didn’t mind.

Lionel Messi was the very embodiment of FC Barcelona.

Thus, thanks to Messi’s decisiveness, the MSN was formed.

Messi, Suárez, and Neymar seamlessly connected with a chemistry that felt like they were originally one entity.

It was an overwhelming sight, as if watching the original 14/15 season unfold.

[For the first time, the 21st-century strongest club, Barcelona, challenges for a second treble!]

They ruthlessly smashed their opponents across league, cup, and Champions League, in pursuit of the treble just like the 14/15 season of the actual history.

[Manchester United’s SCV vs Barcelona’s MSN clash. The strongest spear of Europe’s top 5 leagues is at stake!]

The Champions League quarter-final draw was completed.

The following day unfolded the La Liga match against Real Madrid in Round 29.

“What’s up with Leo? He looks in a good mood today.”

Before the match began, Suárez, watching Lionel Messi warm up, approached Neymar.

“We’re playing against that guy.”

“That guy?”

“The one who just won the Ballon d’Or.”

“Oh, that Asian. But does Leo even care about that Asian?”

The conversation between the two continued endlessly.

Lionel Messi witnessed Neymar and Suárez having a leisurely chat without warming up.

“Puta Madre, you idiots, what are you doing not warming up!”

Despite his introverted nature, Messi’s rough words kept coming.

Neymar and Suárez hurried off to warm up.

[Now, here’s the home team’s lineup for Real Madrid. Diego López is wearing his gloves.]

Moments later, the whistle blew, and the match began.

[Lionel Messi takes the ball and advances! Messi! Messi!]

About 15 minutes into the match.

[Ah! A rough foul by Sergio Ramos! The referee is pulling out a card!]

[Yes, wasn’t that a bit late of a challenge? I think so.]

Sergio Ramos committed a rough foul to stop Lionel Messi.

[Preparing for a free kick is Lionel Messi.]

[A tense moment! Kicked! Messi! Messi!!]

Lionel Messi earned a free kick from a great position.

[Go, go, goooooooal─! Lionel Messi’s fantastic free kick goal! Barcelona begins to take the lead at Santiago Bernabéu, home of Real Madrid, in the 15th minute!]

The shot that left Messi’s foot shook the net.

‘Crazy monster bastard.’

‘How far can that monster evolve?’

The players of Real Madrid sighed.

Meanwhile, as Lionel Messi celebrated near the corner flag, his mind was filled with other thoughts.

‘Jinho must be looking forward to facing me in the Champions League just like I am.’

The day after returning from a victory against West Ham.

“That devilish bastard.”

Watching El Clásico at home, I couldn’t help but exclaim.

[God of Football Lionel Messi engraves his name into the eternal records once again!!]

Three goals and three assists.

[For the first time in El Clásico history, Lionel Messi achieves both a hat-trick and assist hat-trick!]

Lionel Messi displayed insane performance against Real Madrid, contributing six attacking points and leading his team to victory.

[The winner of El Clásico is FC Barcelona! They achieve a dominant 6-4 victory at Santiago Bernabéu!]

As if to prove that it’s not a lie when they call it the most watched derby in the world, articles began to flood in right after El Clásico ended.

[‘Firepower vs Firepower’ Manchester United’s SCV vs Barcelona’s MSN.]

└ Isn’t SCV just a worker?

└ Wow. Seeing SCV makes me want to play folk games after a long time.

└ This is just super annoying, shit;;

└ Right lol, if you’re one to complain, you should also play in a team.

└ Wow;; but it’s the quarter-finals, essentially a final match.

└ Seriously lol, undefeated champion challenge Manchester United vs treble-challenging Barcelona!

└ And even the number of Ballon d’Or awards is similar, messi 4, Ronaldo 1, Son Jinho 1.

└ That’s double the difference, what’s similar about that?

└ At this point, isn’t it similar? Do you think Messi’s four consecutive Ballon d’Ors are nonsense?

└ Guys, if we do undefeated winning, will my brother get back-to-back Ballon d’Or?

└ Votes will be split so Messi will probably get it, or Ronaldo might get it due to World Cup performance.

[The Ministry of National Defense confirms: Was the Firepower Department right? The importance of firepower revealed even in football matches!]

└ Suddenly the Ministry of National Defense appears out of nowhere?

└ Crazy lol

And.

[In an interview ahead of the Manchester Derby, Pep Guardiola provokes, “The best player? Of course it’s Lionel Messi. Even if you combine Ronaldo and Son Jinho, they can’t match Messi.”]

The moment I saw Pep Guardiola’s interview.

‘Oh no. Please don’t provoke Chris!’

I unconsciously covered my forehead.

[Angry Cristiano Ronaldo, “I will teach Pep Guardiola about humility and respect.”]

Before the derby match against Manchester City.

The one suffering the most due to Pep Guardiola’s interview provoking Ronaldo was me.

-Ronaldo: Son Jinho, since I’ve given you the Ballon d’Or, you need to provide me with more passes and opportunities.

Refusing any rebuttals, Ronaldo was hit by a storm of messages from Messi.

– Ronaldo: I will prove to the world in the next match that Pep Guardiola is just an arrogant octopus head.

As I felt the limits of this continued storm from Messi trying to block Ronaldo.

Whooooooosh─!

I checked the name of the sender of the newly sent message and could only sigh.

– Gyeouri: Son Jinho.

– Gyeouri: We must win!!

– Gyeouri: No matter what!!

– Gyeouri: Not just against Man City!!

– Gyeouri: Definitely!!

Oh man, why are you like this again, Gyeouri?

***

March 26. Manchester Derby.

Before the match. Old Trafford.

“Glory! glory, Man United!”

With the home fans’ chants of Manchester United.

[South Korea’s proud footballer Son Jinho and the eternal captain Park Jisong enter the stadium, receiving the guard of honor from Manchester City players.]

[Park Jisong, who has announced retirement at the end of this season, could have a truly meaningful season if he records an undefeated championship.]

The guard of honor was displayed towards Manchester United, who had confirmed early victory.

[Pep Guardiola begins to say something to Son Jinho.]

The image of Son Jinho receiving applause among Manchester City players was broadcasted live, and when Son Haeun saw her dad on the TV screen, she smiled brightly in joy.

– Gyeouri: (gif of Son Haeun happy watching MU receive guard of honor)

And that scene, captured by the professional communicator Han Gyeouri, immediately incited a frenzy.

– Gyeouri: Did you see, Mom?

– Gyeouri: Haeun also likes Manchester United.

– Father-in-law: Isn’t it obvious she’s happy to see Jinho?

– Cheolmo: Just let her be delusional…

– Chairman Hwang Geum-soon: It’s a bit pitiful though;;

Although her family looked at her with pity, Han Gyeouri didn’t care.

– Gyeouri: Hehe, two generations are Manchester United fans~!

– Cheolmo: If you were a Chelsea fan, you’d have three generations as Chelsea fans.

***

The match began with Manchester City’s kick-off.

Was it because they were handing over the guard of honor and league title to their local rivals?

Manchester City immediately attempted rough tactics as soon as the game started.

However, even motivated Manchester City couldn’t stop Cristiano Ronaldo, angered by Pep Guardiola’s interview.

12 minutes into the first half.

Virgil van Dijk succeeded in taking the ball from Sergio Agüero with a clean tackle and delivered the pass directly to me.

Before receiving Virgil’s pass, I glanced around and locked eyes with Ronaldo, who was breaking behind the defender.

Quickly, I swung my foot and passed the ball ahead of Ronaldo.

Even after a quick handling, the ball was delivered smoothly to Ronaldo, letting him rush without delay.

Ronaldo, receiving the ball, entered Manchester City’s penalty box.

He showcased a crack between two defenders, attempting to break through.

He managed to squeeze through the narrow gap between the defenders.

With a target on the near post, he swung his right foot.

Boom.

The ball flew past the goalkeeper, shaking the net.

“SIUUUUUUUUUU─!”

Having succeeded in scoring the first goal, Ronaldo celebrated while glaring at Pep Guardiola.

‘He’s properly motivated now.’

It seemed worth blocking Ronaldo’s plan to send a lengthy 5700 character message to Pep Guardiola by sacrificing this body.

‘Hmm, at this point, I guess I’m a hero too.’
