My Girlfriend Wants Victory

---

Son Jinho’s dramatic equalizer brought the final round of the Premier League to a close.

Manchester United began to celebrate their achievement of an unbeaten championship.

“Come On!!!”

“Glory! glory, Man United!”

If they were a club beyond that in Spain, they would have turned on the sprinklers to disrupt things, but Southampton didn’t perform such a nonsensical act, and generously understood the joy of celebrating in their home ground.

“It was a good deal.”

“He’s that good of a player, and he’ll definitely live up to his value.”

Of course, the wide-heartedness they showed had a lot to do with the hefty transfer fee Manchester United paid to recruit Luke Shaw.

Luke Shaw succeeded in showing impressive performance in this game against Manchester United, leading Sir Alex Ferguson and the board to decide to strain a bit and bring him on board.

During individual negotiations, Luke Shaw’s wage demands were quite astonishing compared to his peers, but with Son Jinho already receiving the highest salary at the club, there were no significant obstacles for Manchester United.

[Chelsea, under Mourinho, reacted in disbelief at Manchester United signing Luke Shaw… Giving such a salary to an unproven prospect? “Those who say Chelsea bought their title with money should turn and look at United.”]

And unlike Chelsea, who had a stringent wage structure, Manchester United’s wage standard was a bit loose under Ferguson.

Anyway, as the unbeaten champions returned to Manchester, countless citizens filled the streets.

“Our Sir Alex Ferguson.”

“He will lead us to the top.”

“We will walk the path of glory.”

“We will win both at home and away.”

The fans of Manchester United revamped “Come on Reds” and celebrated, expressing gratitude to the players who never gave up until the end for their unbeaten championship.

“New kids of Fergie, move forward!”

“When the Busby Babes moved us to tears!”

“Charlton, Edwards, Rowe, and George may not be here.”

“But Ronaldo! Jinho! Van Persie! The three musketeers are here!”

For several days, Manchester United’s anthem echoed everywhere.

And just as the festive mood began to settle down, Park Jisong’s retirement ceremony was held at Old Trafford.

***

“Ji! Ji!”

The Manchester United fans welcomed Park Jisong, who had dedicated a long time to the club, with applause.

“Wherever you go, we’ll cheer for you!”

At the same time, a new chant, not a dog-meat song, echoed through Old Trafford.

On one side of the stand, a Taegukgi with Jisong’s face was fluttering.

A message thanking him for his dedication lit up on the display board.

As Jisong slowly walked the pitch holding a bouquet, expressing his gratitude.

“Tsk. I wish I could play one more season.”

Alex Ferguson, who approached me, began to grumble.

Despite the ticking of his tongue, his face was full of regret.

After losing to Barcelona and getting eliminated from the Champions League quarter-finals, Sir Ferguson proposed that Giggs and Jisong play together next season.

While Giggs accepted Ferguson’s proposal, Jisong rejected it, declaring his retirement.

“Well, I did get the title of unbeaten champion in the end. That’s enough. And my knee isn’t what it used to be.”

From our personal conversations, it seemed he had genuinely reached his limit.

He said that after playing, the next day he could hardly walk due to pain, so there was no way to keep him anymore.

Anyway.

Receiving love and gratitude from Manchester United fans.

Jisong, who had bloomed the flower of overseas football in South Korea, retired.

[Premier League Round 38, Manchester United records an unbeaten championship!]

└ It should have been at Old Trafford; that would have been so cool. No sense from the office.

└ Who would have thought United would go unbeaten?

└ Well then, they should have rearranged the schedule in the middle, lol.

└ Then people would definitely say the office pushed United to an unbeaten season, lol.

└ But Southampton didn’t turn on the sprinklers like Barcelona.

└ For real, lol.

[Legend Park Jisong retires at Old Trafford. “I will learn football administration.”]

└ Hae-bujiㅠㅠ

└ Since you’re learning football administration abroad, I hope you learn well and overhaul the Korea Football Associationㅠㅠ

[Arsenal fans explode with anger at Manchester United’s unbeaten season despite winning the FA Cup.]

└ Wenger OUT, Stan OUT!

└ But what’s this Wenger OUT?

└ Isn’t saying Wenger out a bit much?;;

└ As expected, the black-haired beast’s is the one to be dealt with…

└ But his hair was blond.

└ Bayern is confirming the double, right?

└ Yeah, yeah.

└ Bayern Munich went insane this season;;

└ For real, it feels like poison has taken root, lol.

└ Wait, then the team that wins the Champions League final is the treble winning team?

└ Whoa lol, that treble match was awesome.

– Chairman Hwang Geum-soon: Please don’t look for me for a while.

It wasn’t long after Chairman Hwang Geum-soon left a message in the group chat that the Champions League final, which could be called the highlight of the 13/14 season, was held at the Estádio da Luz in Lisbon.

In the Champions League final, Bayern Munich, filled with vengeance after slipping three times, stomped Real Madrid with a score of 5-0, clashing against FC Barcelona, who showcased even greater strength having beaten champions of every league to achieve a treble in the 14/15 season.

[In this match, Lionel Messi is struggling under close marks from Philipp Lahm and Schweinsteiger.]

Jupp Heynckes’ Bayern Munich succeeded in tying down Messi.

[Whoa! Neymar was caught and tripped in the box!]

[The whistle blew! Referee Nicola Rizzoli declares a penalty for Barcelona!]

[The kicker is Neymar, who created the penalty!]

With the performances of Neymar, Suárez, and the three nincompoops…

Barcelona claimed victory over Bayern Munich in the final, achieving the treble.

[FC Barcelona successfully ascends to European Champion status with a score of 2-1!]

Despite both teams putting on one of the historical shows in Champions League history.

[Personally, I thought the United vs. Barca match was way more entertaining, no cap.]

[I honestly think taking Van Persie out was over the top, you agree?]

[Wow, there’s someone trashing the elder;;]

Football fans, drenched in dopamine from the epic match between Manchester United and Barcelona in the Champions League quarter-finals, felt a sense of incompleteness.

While the now-retired captain Carles Puyol lifted the big ear, Bayern Munich, having slipped four times in the final, was filled not just with anger but an extreme urge to tear their opponents apart.

After suffering back-to-back defeats in the Champions League finals for two consecutive years, Bayern Munich’s upper management seriously contemplated sacking Jupp Heynckes.

However, the sentiment towards Heynckes among Bayern fans was not bad.

[Jupp Heynckes demands a renewal of contract for Toni Kroos.]

[Is Bayern Munich looking to renew the contract with Toni Kroos after his impressive performance in the final?]

Bayern’s board promised to keep Heynckes as coach for the next season while engaging in negotiations for a contract renewal with Toni Kroos.

[Real Madrid, having sacked Ancelotti for failing to lift any trophies, appoint club legend and chief coach Zinedine Zidane.]

In contrast, Real Madrid sacked Ancelotti after finishing the season without any trophies for poor performance.

[Real Madrid head coach Zinedine Zidane declares, “Next season, we will complete La Décima.”]

Zinedine Zidane, a club legend, was appointed, declaring their intent to lift the tenth Champions League trophy (La Décima) next season.

As the season wrapped up, the front offices of the clubs began bustling more than when the season was ongoing.

The teams’ vulnerabilities surfaced throughout the season.

The clubs’ front offices swiftly moved to address these weaknesses.

Among all the commotion, if one were to find the least busy club, it would be Manchester United.

After achieving good results in both the league and Champions League, they had no players slacking off for transfers or showing discontent, creating a relaxed situation.

But that, too, seemed to end today.

“Put the money on the table.”

Early in the morning, Alex Ferguson barged into the owner’s office demanding a huge transfer budget.

The sudden request for transfer funds caught Glazer off guard, and he summoned a meeting.

“I’m planning to retire after this season.”

The unexpected retirement announcement from Ferguson left the meeting room silent, not even a rustle of a sleeve could be heard.

“So, to leave a legacy fitting for my final season, I plan to aim for a treble.”

Glazer, evidently flustered by Ferguson’s unexpected announcement, attempted to convince him otherwise but realized he couldn’t change Ferguson’s mind about retiring.

“Announcing it right now could cause confusion among players and fans, so can you give us a little time?”

Glazer requested Ferguson to delay the announcement of his retirement, explaining that the front office needed time to respond.

“I plan to announce after the World Cup ends and before the season starts. That way, I can discuss it with the players before the season launches.”

Ferguson nodded, considering Glazer’s reasoning, and set a deadline.

Though the timeframe was a bit tight, it wasn’t entirely unreasonable, so Glazer nodded in agreement.

“No, the time is way too tight!”

Of course, opinions from subordinates were neither asked for nor important.

Anyway, the Manchester United board quickly sought candidates for a manager to minimize Ferguson’s absence and approached Jürgen Klopp, whom Ferguson had had his eyes on since his Dortmund days.

“…John. If, hypothetically, I refuse to accept Alex’s request and don’t provide the transfer funds, what do you think will happen? And if that causes Alex’s retirement season to go awry?”

“…I feel like we wouldn’t just stop at burning dolls with the owner’s face on them.”

Plans were set to minimize fans’ agitation.

***

Time flows rapidly.

As the season closed and players who failed to qualify for the World Cup began to take their holidays one by one.

The World Cup, a festival for the world, kicked off.

Son Jinho appeared at the Arena Pantanal to support his hometown of South Korea against Russia with his family.

[Ah! The lens catches Son Jinho cheering for the South Korean national team in the stands.]

└ What the hell, why is my brother there.

In order to avoid being framed as a traitor, he cheered with more passion than anyone else.

[Shouting for Korea until his voice goes hoarse! I hope the South Korean players gather strength from Son Jinho’s support!]

└ Don’t cheer from up there, just go down and play!!ㅠ

└ It’s downright comedy that a Ballon d’Or winner is cheering from the stands. F*ck, lol.
