My Girlfriend Wants Victory

---

There is a saying that if you endure three times, even murder can be avoided.

Surprisingly, this incident was exactly the third occurrence.

The first was the incident with the traitor that led to my retirement, and the second was Gyeouri’s pregnancy incident.

And the last one was touching the sensitive military issue at the same time.

“Damn it, touching the military issue really crossed the line.”

Especially in my case, having lost my parents at a young age and receiving military exemption, it was an even more sensitive matter.

Seeing someone casually poking at an area that could be a sore spot made me lose all emotion, whether real or fake.

I immediately contacted my agent, Mino Raiola.

– Jinho, don’t worry too much and just trust me.

Mino Raiola comforted me while simultaneously initiating action.

***

Upon receiving contact from Son Jinho, Mino Raiola gradually activated media play.

To Mino Raiola, the most important thing as an agent was preparedness.

His readiness to always investigate potential transfer opportunities without the player’s request came into play once again.

Having recognized the incompetence of the football association early on, he had already prepared the necessary materials for media play for an impending incident.

[Remarkable statement from a South Korean politician: “The wealthy orphans not serving in the military is actually discrimination against the low-income active soldiers…”]

However, what caught him off guard was the involvement of politicians in this issue.

“Seriously, what a bunch of moths to a flame these politicians are.”

With a click of his tongue about those politicians, Mino Raiola began media play through refugee status instead of naturalization.

[Son Jinho, applying for refugee status instead of naturalization?]

[Mino Raiola: “Right now in Korea, Jinho is facing political retaliation.”]

The most important aspect of media play was to capture public attention.

“The public’s interest is what leads to player value.”

And following Mino Raiola’s plan, Son Jinho’s unexpected application for refugee status drew the attention of Europeans.

[Why did the Ballon d’Or winner apply for refugee status?]

Even America, known for not caring about football, sent the news to the media.

Honestly, who wouldn’t be interested if the Ballon d’Or winner applied for refugee status?

[German court rejects Son Jinho’s refugee application.]

Anyhow, amidst the public spotlight, the German court did not bow to public opinion and rejected Son Jinho’s refugee application.

[Mino Raiola comments on the German court’s decision: “We respect the law.”]

Mino Raiola failed in the refugee application, but he didn’t mind.

What he aimed for was to inform European media about how unfairly Son Jinho was being treated by his national football association.

And in fact.

[British media compares Son Jinho to Joan of Arc.]

In England, where Son Jinho was playing, they began to compare him to Joan of Arc, criticizing both France and South Korea.

[Did the Italian media go too far in mocking Korea?]

In Italy, who couldn’t forget the 2002 World Cup, they published articles in mocking tones about Son Jinho, the Ballon d’Or winner, saying he was a fool for not knowing his place.

[German media absurdly claims Son Jinho is actually German.]

And in Germany, where Son Jinho had played, it naturally stoked the flames even without Mino Raiola doing anything specific.

Centered on Dortmund, who strongly believed they raised Son Jinho, there were continuous claims that he should be naturalized and join the German national team.

Although there were objections claiming Son Jinho had no identity as a German.

Some Germans gathered Son Jinho’s statements, arguing that his identity was closer to German than Korean.

The DFB, having achieved World Cup victory, didn’t desperately want Son Jinho’s naturalization but welcomed the potential boost in strength that his joining could create.

[Leaked list of Son Jinho’s unprecedented donations.]

└ Wow. Damn, how much is all that?

└ Looking carefully, my brother did a lot of volunteer work too.

└ Ha. Even in the middle of Europe, he makes fascist jokes, but he has a warmer heart than anyone else.

Successfully seizing public opinion, Mino Raiola convinced Son Jinho to cautiously unveil the list of donations he had made anonymously to the media.

***

Humans are creatures that forget.

Unless it’s something related to themselves, they quickly forget.

The fact that Son Jinho sat in the audience rather than on the field during the World Cup had been quickly forgotten by the public.

[Jinho is considering naturalization beyond retirement from the national team.]

However, when the incident in South Korea spread across the globe through Mino Raiola’s media play.

People quickly regained their memory and began to show interest in Son Jinho’s naturalization.

Among them, the most actively wanting Son Jinho’s naturalization was:

[Football god Lionel Messi acknowledges Son Jinho. “If Jinho naturalizes to Argentina, it would greatly help in winning the World Cup.”]

[Cristiano Ronaldo sends a love call to Son Jinho. “If we join forces, we can become the world’s strongest…”]

Lionel Messi, who lost the penalty shootout to Germany in the World Cup final, and Cristiano Ronaldo, who considers him a rival.

[The Argentine Football Association firmly rejects Messi’s request. “Naturalization for Son Jinho? The majority of citizens don’t want that. We are the traditional powerhouse of Argentina.”]

[Argentine legend Diego Maradona: “Son Jinho has no identity as an Argentine…”]

[The Portuguese Football Association: “We will positively consider Ronaldo’s request.”]

[Son Jinho states through an interview: “I have no intention of naturalizing yet…”]

[Cristiano Ronaldo sharply criticizes Son Jinho: “Son Jinho’s choice is not right. It’s an act of sacrificing global football fans for a mere 50 million fans.”]

└ Damn, this guy talks like crap?

└ Lol, Han Joon is angry.

└ Wow, Shin Do-hyung’s class is insane, reducing 50 million to a handful, LOL!

└ Honestly, compared to the global population, a handful is accurate…

└ There aren’t many football fans among 50 million Koreans anyway.

└ That’s true.

└ Ah, damn, but naturalizing to Japan is a no-go.

└ Why Japan all of a sudden?

└ They keep saying we should have our nation’s unity, claiming Son Jinho should wear the Japan national team jersey.

└ Are these crazy bastards?

└ If he goes to Japan, he might as well go to China.

└ China is bad too, damn. I just hope he naturalizes in Europe.

└ What naturalization? He should maintain Korean nationality ㅡㅡ

└ Honestly, now that it’s come to this, it seems like the right choice for my brother to naturalize.

└ Naturalization is acceptable; I’ll support whatever, whether it’s Germany or England, but I can’t support going to China or Japan.

└ For real, I wish he’d go to Germany or England, or even Spain or Portugal.

└ It would be great if he went to Argentina and lifted the World Cup with Messi, but their association is incompetent too.

└ Are they really going to accept a trashy Korean in Germany or England? Haha.

└ If it’s my brother, he could easily be a starter in Germany, right?

└ Fact: The DFB reached out for naturalization first.

└ Giving up nationality and naturalizing is treason!

└ Yeah, the country abandoned Son Jinho first.

└ Is it right to naturalize when not all the citizens have condemned him? What happens to the citizens who didn’t condemn him?

└ The one who complained like that is actually trashing Son Jinho in the comments.

└ Not me, idiot.

└ What. But back then, apart from that real younger brother in the Ho-woo Gallery, almost everyone cursed at him, so if he naturalizes, there’s nothing to say.

└ Didn’t the Ho-woo Gallery kids oppose?

└ Those bastards got cursed at back when Son Jinho was framed as a traitor, they’re long since turned dark. Rather, they seem to have a festive atmosphere that he might finally choose to naturalize.

└ Honestly, the Euro is more fun than the Asian Cup, for sure.

└ But why isn’t the association making a statement?

└ Aren’t they waiting until the public outcry dies down?

└ It’s disgusting how they’re keeping silent.

While Son Jinho’s refugee application continues to be a global controversy, the football association and politicians, which were the starting point of the controversy, have said nothing.

They avoided media contact as much as possible, waiting for the angry public opinion to subside.

[Football association and politicians remain silent on the Son Jinho issue. How far do they plan to mock the citizens?]

And as time passed.

As they had hoped, the angry public opinion began to gradually subside.

Newly elected members, seeking recognition, mentioned it in interviews with the media.

“You’re just going wild since you don’t need nominations, right? Huh? Is that it?”

It wasn’t long before they fell silent at the call of the party’s senior members.

Because the nomination, which could be said to be a meal bowl, was more important than any sense of justice.

Among them, there was an exceptional individual who genuinely loved football and was passionate about justice, but in a democratic society, the minority opinion was thoroughly excluded.

The claim that the minority opinion learned in moral lessons should be respected was no different from an idealistic tale.

As the representatives of the people, the members of the National Assembly failed to convey the people’s opinions and remained silent as the angry public opinion quickly cooled down.

Just as the politicians and executives of the association were about to breathe a sigh of relief.

Jeff Blatter, with an outstanding nose for money, publicly expressed his position, reigniting public interest.

[FIFA President Jeff Blatter: “Son Jinho should be seen as a refugee rather than seeking naturalization. His application for naturalization was due to political issues. Son Jinho should be able to play A matches without waiting the 5 years as it is a separate case from FIFA’s naturalization regulations.”]

Jeff Blatter, wishing for China’s World Cup qualification, thought Son Jinho would naturally choose to naturalize to China rather than Europe.

This situation occurred because he viewed Asia solely through the lens of money and was oblivious to Asian culture or relations.

However, the situation didn’t proceed as Jeff Blatter had hoped.

The Chinese president, who declared the rise of football, ordered total efforts to naturalize Son Jinho.

[Chinese President Xi: Declares the greatness of Chinese football. “Capture Son Jinho’s heart.”]

With astronomical conditions offered, China sought to lure Son Jinho while Japan butted in, wanting to screw over South Korea.

[Japanese coach on Son Jinho’s potential joining: “If naturalization occurs, Japan is getting Captain Tsubasa.”]

Son Jinho’s agent, Mino Raiola, found both China and Japan’s money quite alluring, but.

– Ho-woo: Even so, China and Japan are a bit…

He always prioritized the player’s will and, with tears in his eyes, rejected the offers from China and Japan.

Anyhow, the ability to call up a Ballon d’Or winning player to the national team without a 5-year waiting period seemed to excite everyone around the world, as they began to show interest in Son Jinho’s naturalization.

[Symbol of Korean football Park Jisong harshly criticizes: “Korean football has lost its self-purification ability.”]

└ Wow. Has this guy ever used such strong wording?

└ It seems this is the first time in the media he’s said something like that.

└ Wow, this is truly an unprecedented event.

└ Of course, it’s unprecedented; a player winning the Ballon d’Or for the first time in Asia is about to naturalize.

[Parker declares, “I apologize for not being able to help Jinho when he was struggling. We must raise our voices now, even if late.”]

[Choi Gi-hyun, former strategic committee chairman, expresses dissent against the member of the National Assembly: “It’s not just the chairman’s problem, but the whole association is flawed. The association has lost its fair function.”]

[Choi Gi-hyun, former strategic committee chairman: “The football association should fulfill the most basic duties to protect its players.”]

[Did the member who argued for orphan conscription actually serve in the military?]

└ So he’s exempt, yeah^^ He doesn’t disappoint!

└ He looks surprisingly fine for someone exempt, huh?

└ It must be military corruption, what else to say?

[Independent member clarifies recent controversy… “I was in a serious accident and have a severe disability in my leg.”]

└ Wow, LOL, so this guy did a 360-degree kick in a bar.

└ This is un-cancellable; this guy is definitely into military corruption.

[Independent member, who further clarified the controversy: “I miraculously recovered through rehabilitation.”]

└ If you recovered, you should go to the military, idiot. Don’t be fighting in bars.

[Is Son Jinho, symbol of Korean football, really going to naturalize? Discussions with England, Germany, and Portugal football associations with Mino Raiola.]

As Son Jinho’s naturalization officially began to take shape and public opinion heated up, the football association went on high alert.

“Son Jinho, why is that little brat the symbol of Korean football!”

“What’s up with the Ballon d’Or? If I were born in the right era, I could have won it too!”

“And why is he suddenly pushing for naturalization? Isn’t that just a challenge for us?”

In truth, those saying such things knew full well that Son Jinho’s achievements were remarkable.

It was simply a situation born out of desperation, trying to blind themselves and ignore reality.

But now it was time to wake up from their dreams and face the harsh reality.

“When our seniors were doing it, it went well, so why is it a pain when it’s our turn!”

“Ah, this is unfair. Why does it have to be during our time…”

The bad adults who fed off the dreams of youth needed to pay the appropriate price.

“Still, someone like me should still be usable, right? If I bring internal documents from the association, will Choi Gi-hyun take me in?”

As Choi Gi-hyun announced the need to create a new football association, some began to jump ship.

[Football association, supreme-level corruption exposed.]

[Football association, full of filth, is it still exempt from punishment? What about FIFA’s provision forbidding outside interference?]

[FIFA will declare a ban on international matches for Korean football with external interference!]

In the process of escaping the sinking ship, internal documents from the football association began to leak outside.

[U.S. Department of Justice requests the extradition of football association officials: “Key witnesses to crimes.”]

And some documents that emerged from the football association caught the attention of the U.S. Department of Justice, which was secretly investigating FIFA’s corruption.

[Richard Weber, IRS Commissioner: “Today we’re issuing FIFA a red card.”]
