My Girlfriend Wants Victory

---

While the young talents of Man Utd were undergoing special training, the World Cup continued.

[’16 consecutive appearances in the Round of 16!’ Football fans welcomed the proud Taeguk Warriors with applause!]

└ Where did all those people go who were trash-talking before the Algeria match?

└ Those guys are just results-oriented. As long as they make it to the Round of 16, they all disappear, haha.

└ Ha. Damn, is the KFA problem getting buried like this?

Germany advanced to the quarter-finals after defeating South Korea.

[Germany, having beaten France, will face the World Cup host Brazil next!]

They defeated France in the quarter-finals and advanced to face Brazil in the semi-finals.

[‘The tragedy of Mineirão!’ Brazil lost to Germany 7-1!]

└ ?????

└ What…?

└ Is the 7-1 for real? What the hell?;;

└ At this rate, if only Son Jinho was there, we could have cruised through to the semi-finals.

└ Wow, so reaching the finals for the first time was totally possible?

└ This is insane, it really is.

└ Brazil really sucks at football, huh? LOL.

└ Germany >> South Korea >>> an insurmountable wall >>> Brazil, right? Right?

└ No, guys;; we seriously suck against South America;;

└ That’s the case, but they still put up decent fights against European teams.

└ Do these guys think football is a math problem? LOLOL.

└ We know, idiot, just enjoy it.

They displayed merciless performances and caused the tragedy of Mineirão.

[Argentina, after a shootout, overcomes the Netherlands.]

And on the other side of the bracket, Argentina defeated the Netherlands, completing the final matchup between Germany and Argentina.

– Mündel: Jinho, do you think we can win?

Before we knew it, the World Cup final was almost upon us.

– GUTO: It feels like someone is pressing down on my shoulders.

Players, feeling anxiety and pressure about the World Cup stage, started contacting their friend Son Jinho.

“Why is everyone contacting me? Are you all trying to be humble about reaching the World Cup final?”

***

The result of the World Cup final didn’t deviate much from the original history.

Germany’s victory.

But was it because they lost in a shootout unlike the original history?

[Lionel Messi, unable to lift the World Cup trophy by a hair’s breadth.]

└ Damn, LOL.

└ That expression is legendary! LOL.

└ Looks almost like the expression of my dad watching stocks crash, right?

Lionel Messi managed to create a meme even denser than that legendary one.

And with that, all of Germany erupted into a festive atmosphere.

[Borussia Dortmund hosts Jinho’s Day event to celebrate Germany’s World Cup victory.]

└ ??? Germany won the World Cup, but why is my brother’s name popping up?

The Brazil World Cup has come to an end.

***

As the World Cup ended, the transfer market began to storm.

[Big clubs closing in on World Cup Golden Boot winner James Rodriguez.]

Most contracts during the World Cup season are signed before the World Cup begins (like Luke Shaw) or after the tournament ends.

However, players enchanted by the World Cup sometimes hide injuries only to suddenly decline in performance.

In fact, Robin van Persie, despite being injured, unreasonably participated in the semi-finals and worsened his condition.

Fortunately, Robin van Persie’s injury wasn’t serious, and he was able to return before the third round of the Premier League.

In any case, with the summer transfer market officially opening—

[‘Newcomer’ Luke Shaw joins Manchester United. Names Son Jinho as the player he wants to get close to.]

Manchester United began organizing its expanded squad before acquisitions.

[‘Waste of Money’ Bebe leaves for Benfica.]

[Luis Nani goes on loan to Sporting.]

Starting with the legendary ‘Bebe’ crossing, Zaha and Cleverley were also loaned out, and Chicharito, who was playing the super sub role at Man Utd, went on loan to Real Madrid.

[Arthur Vidal, is he transferring to Man Utd?]

And to fill the empty squad, players who performed well in the World Cup began to appear on the transfer list, with the most notable name being Colombia’s James Rodriguez, who became a superstar during this World Cup.

[Manchester United shows interest in James Rodriguez’s transfer.]

It’s only natural that Man Utd has expressed interest in acquiring James Rodriguez.

Last season, the young defenders (Smalling, Phil Jones, Evans) rapidly grew through forced experience in various tournaments, including the Champions League, making the urgent need for back-ups for Son Jinho and midfielders who could sync with him.

[Ferguson confident of winning the transfer battle, “James Rodriguez will come to Man Utd.”]

Ferguson, who announced his retirement at the end of this season, personally called James Rodriguez to encourage his transfer to Man Utd.

Son Jinho sent a love call to James as a DM.

[‘Colombian Special’ James Rodriguez, third highest transfer fee in Real Madrid’s history… confirmed transfer for 110.2 million.’]

However, despite such efforts, James Rodriguez chose Real Madrid.

[After hearing about James Rodriguez’s move to Real Madrid…, Son Jinho, “Honestly, what we really wanted was Toni Kroos.”]

└ HAHAHAHAHA.

└ Man Utd fans are so delusionally victorious, LOL.

└ Why are these guys so petty? LOL.

***

Comments on the internet lamented losing James Rodriguez to Real Madrid, but Manchester United actually focused more on Toni Kroos than on James Rodriguez.

Toni Kroos.

Nicknamed “Professor.”

There’s no way a fleeting star like James Rodriguez could compete with the likes of the Professor.

Keenly aware of the feelings about James Rodríguez going to Real Madrid, this was merely an objective evaluation.

– Ho-woo: Toni Kroos, the Ballon d’Or winner, I want to play with you. If you want to win, join Manchester United.

Last season, I had a rough patch with Bayern Munich, which linked me closely to Man Utd, so I threw down my bait with a calm mind.

[Toni Kroos decides to stay after re-signing with Bayern Munich.]

But despite my persuasion, Toni Kroos announced that he would remain at Bayern Munich.

– Ho-woo: Toni, you should have respected me. I beat Lionel Messi to win the Ballon d’Or at 18 years old and…[more to come.]

I was furious that all my efforts went to waste, so I sent him a 5700-character love message.

Immediately after that, I received a message from Toni Kroos asking if I had hacked his social media account.

‘Yeah. Better image management, you know.’

After regaining my composure from Toni Kroos’s message, I suggested that I should probably change my password.

‘Maybe I’m just not meant to be associated with the Toni team in Man Utd?’

Now that I think about it, even the ‘anti’ Toni who’s worth 140 million has Toni in the name.

‘Even if Kroos had joined Man Utd, he would have probably been a waste of money.’

Convinced that Toni Kroos would be dubbed “Mentoni,” I quickly attempted to contact my close friend Kim Deok-bae.

– Kim Deok-bae: I’m going to stay one more season at Dortmund, okay?

All of a sudden, I realized that every single one of my friends was utterly useless.

– Beom-du: SIU? Did Son Jinho happen to look for me?

Not you.

[Football Association vows full effort for Son Jinho’s national team return. ‘Our goal for the 2015 Asian Cup is naturally to win.’]

[Ter Stegen completes personal agreement with Barcelona.]

[Bravo, having received a love call from Pep, heads to Man City.]

[Sevilla’s Ivan Rakitic transfers to FC Barcelona…. “It’s an honor to play with Messi.”]

[Son Jinho’s close friend İlkay Gündoğan confirms transfer to Manchester United. Transfer fee is 29.8 million.]

[Man Utd shows interest in Sadio Mané of RB Salzburg after Southampton.]

[‘Sadio Mané likely to move to Southampton,’ ‘I want a club where I can play.’]

[Ferguson and Son Jinho trying to persuade Sadio Mané.]

[Sadio Mané confirms transfer to Man Utd, “Talking with Jinho changed my decision.”]

[Immediately after Sadio Mané’s transfer, Ferguson announces his retirement.]

[Despite joining Man Utd upon Son Jinho’s persuasion, Sadio Mané is in utter disbelief. “I feel like I’ve been scammed.”]

[Ferguson’s retirement raises question marks over Son Jinho’s national team return? Red lights blink for the Asian Cup!]

└ ? What’s Ferguson’s retirement got to do with returning for the Asian Cup?

└ The Asian Cup is in January, during the peak season in Europe;;

└ Ah, damn, this sucks.

└ No one even said anything about returning from the beginning;;

***

As news of the old man’s retirement struck the media, the atmosphere in Manchester turned heavy in an instant.

‘…Now that I think about it, if Ferguson retires, doesn’t that come with a release clause?’

If things keep getting worse with the team, I might just have to find an excuse to run to La Liga.

In any case, could this atmosphere have triggered the Glazers’ survival instincts?

[Ilkay Gündoğan, attending the signing ceremony with a bright smile. “I’m happy to play with Jinho again. He is one of the best players.”]

[‘Boss, you’re bad.’ Sadio Mané, despite feeling scammed about employment, shows a bright smile at the signing ceremony. “Man Utd is one of the best clubs.”]

The Glazers started massive marketing for the players they acquired this summer as a cry for help.

While Manchester United fans tried to come to terms with the list of new signings—

[Cesc Fàbregas, heading to Chelsea?]

Cesc Fàbregas’ transfer news made headlines, and Manchester United immediately attempted a hijack.

[Cesc Fàbregas, “Even if Man Utd offers triple the salary, I won’t go.”]

But for some reason, Cesc Fàbregas flatly rejected Man Utd’s offer.

‘Oh wait, was Fàbregas the one who tossed pizza at the old man back in the day?’

It seems he was also making choices to survive.

Anyway, Man Utd began to pour money into the summer transfer market.

Despite showing a decline in performance, they offered 1+1 contracts to experienced Champions League players, Rio Ferdinand and Patrice Evra.

Ferdinand and Evra, who could be called Ferguson’s kids, decided to go along with the short-term contract offered by Manchester United, even though they were displeased.

In Evra’s case, despite his wife wanting to leave the UK, he focused on persuading her by saying it was Ferguson’s retirement season.

[Blind, transfers to Manchester United… transfer fee is 23.6 million.]

Man Utd also signed Blind, who performed well during the World Cup.

[Arsenal moving to acquire Sami Khedira.]

[Arsenal and Arsène Wenger declare they cannot break the club’s wage structure.]

[Are Sami Khedira’s moves to Arsenal collapsing over wage issues?]

[Manchester United successfully hijacks Sami Khedira, transfer fee is 40 million.]

Man Utd successfully hijacked Sami Khedira, who was negotiating with Arsenal.

[Manchester United also moves to sign Kyle Walker from Tottenham Hotspur.]

They also managed to find a right-back to replace the injury-prone Rafael.

And I.

‘…Is that Granzo!?’

I happened to witness Ed Woodward, the treasurer of Man Utd, sweating as he frantically tried to persuade Ferguson on why the East Asia tour needed to happen while seeing the money slip away.

[Korean football fans flock to welcome Son Jinho back home.]
