Chapter 56 – Colchester United.
#
After my fantastic goal, Levante made tough tackles whenever I touched the ball. Coach Valverde, who did not want to get injured in a winning situation, substituted me early, before the first half was even over.
“I suffered”
“Si”
After I was substituted out, Real Madrid quietly played the ball in their own half and the game ended.
In a match that ended 2:0. I was selected as Mvp of the Match and conducted a brief interview.
-As soon as he kicked the ball in Real Madrid’s second goal, he turned to the center circle as if he was about to score. Did you know you were going to score?
No how do I know that
However. From his mouth, a completely different lie came out of his mouth automatically.
“I am Jejus. My shot never misses.”
Not long ago, the truth of life learned from the director’s mother, an appropriate lie makes life richer, was applied and used right away in this interview.
Although the interviewer, who was very excited about my answer, said something. Unfortunately. Due to the shouts of the Real Madrid crowd, the interview could not be held and was postponed until later.
[Jejus towards the center circle before the goal is awarded. He nodded as if it were natural for the reporter to ask if he knew it would be counted as a goal. ‘I am Jejus.’]
That’s how my interview went out. My score made even Americans, who say soccer is a girl’s sport, admire and share the video on social media.
– Holy shit. What did I just see
– Crazy. My team’s pitcher goes in more accurately than a ball thrown by hand. Did you do that with your feet?
– Lol. Let’s recruit that player, put him on the mound, and let him kick a baseball. That sounds like we’re going to give up fewer runs than when we posted our third starter.

[Jejus protecting Coach Valverde in the Mvp of the Match interview, which was held again. ‘ Valverde is always thinking about showing better performance. Real Madrid players know he is a good manager. ‘]
[Fanatical Roberto Fabianski. ‘If it is Jeju, then it is so.’]
[Louis Garcia watching an interview with Roberto Fabianski. ‘The kids here are crazy. I am good at soccer.’]

The Levante game is over and the A-match period has arrived.
Of course, I did not board the national team this time either.
[Korea national team coach Utilike. ‘Jeju’s cheat key can be used from the final qualifying round. It’s time for us to test more diverse resources, even if it’s just one person.’]
After negotiating with coach Utilike last time, I prepared for a family trip to Colchester.
Thank you to Emirates Airlines for providing our family with a private plane for this holiday. I boarded a private plane and arrived at London Stansted Airport.
We arrived in Colchester, a city with a population of 140,000 located in Essik, after driving for about 40 minutes in Dusik’s car that had arrived earlier.
After dropping off Yohani and Yuna, who had fallen asleep at the hotel they reserved, unpacking their bags, and kissing Yuna on the forehead. I left the hotel and headed straight to Colchester United.
Side-
“Are you coming soon?”
“Haam… Come on, I’m going to sleep next to Yohan too.”
Run for about 10 minutes. U&I Community Stadium, home of Colchester United. The car driven by Doo-sik hyung smoothly entered the parking lot and parked the vehicle in the owner-only parking space.
“Bravo! After all, hyung is the best at driving.”
Let’s applaud his driving and open the car door and get out. A banner that made me doubt my eyes caught my eye.
[I’m happy. Jesus, the savior, has come. Zero]
Fuck. Who hung that
The hands that were clapping stopped. While I looked at the banner with an awkward smile, Kim Doo-sik stuck out his thumb.
“Hyung hyung prepared it for you, how did you do well?”
“Good job, bitch. Get rid of it right now!”
Let me scream Dushik-hyung moves to remove the banner with a sullen expression. I looked at him and sighed lightly.
I’m really good at my job… Even though there isn’t much of an age gap with me, he reveals his old sensibility in a strange place.
Did you have a good relationship with the Football Association executives because you had a childlike side?
While I was thinking about this, Pedro Rodriguez, the former captain of Real Madrid, who had lost a lot of weight, appeared under the banner. I greeted Pedro with a welcoming expression.
“Boss! Long time no see!”
“Ay Amigo why did you lose so much weight?”
“Puta! The boss only lives here for a month. What a prank they played on British fucking food. Even McDonald’s Big Macs are fucking delicious.”
I nodded my head at the appearance of the young Pedro Rodriguez.
British food doesn’t taste good.
“Anyway, follow me and I will guide you to the club.”
I, the owner, started a tour of the U&I Community Stadium, the home ground of Colchester United, under the guidance of manager Pedro Rodriguez.
Honestly, it was a shabby stadium in the situation where I play every day at the Santiago Bernabéu, but this is my asset, right?
“It’s beautiful. This stadium belongs to me.”
The stadium, which had only looked shabby, looked new.
“What are you doing there? Come fast.”
I safely completed the tour of the U&I Community Stadium under the guidance of Pedro Rodriguez. Finally, enter the director’s office. I heard about Pedro Rodriguez’s difficulties.
“Ruler. Jeju’s. Shall we seriously start talking about additional investment in club facilities?”
Pedro Rodriguez, who played at the Santiago Bernabéu like me, didn’t even have a beautification correction for the pitch. I ended up having to commit to further investment in the facility.
“Hmm… The facilities are much poorer than I thought.”
“Yes, I was also surprised when I came. But you know what’s important? This stadium is the Santiago Bernabéu in the 5th division. The facilities are the best.”
I quietly patted Pedro Rodriguez on the shoulder as he was drinking alone.
Suffer slave
Even if you run away, obey the terms of the contract and run away.
Again, the director’s mother was right. No matter how close you are, you shouldn’t sign the contract carelessly…
Looking at Pedro Rodriguez with his head on the table, I made up my mind.
Never have to let go

Colchester United, who finished eighth in the National League last season, have been dominant in the National League, England’s fifth tier, since I took over.
“Oh. What. Are the stands full?”
“Today, I advertised that you were coming to the game. About 6,000 people usually come in.”
“6000 people come in a lot for a 5th division? “
“Mostly fans who come to see Pedro Rodriguez or the La Fabrica kids.”
From the 3rd division to the 4th division. Colchester United, which was relegated from the 4th division to the 5th division and many fans fell away, received attention from football fans again this season with the good news of the acquisition of Jejus and the joining of Pedro Rodirguez and La Fabrica prospects. Fans were growing at a rapid pace as new and departed fans returned.
“It’s not just the spectators, it’s because the issue became bigger after taking over the club. Sales of video season tickets and match tickets abroad are high.”
“Which video season tickets sold the most? Korea?”
“No. Is it spanish? Did you see a lot of them in the Madrid area? Because you run it, it seems to Real Madrid fans that Colchester United is a little Madrid in England.”
“… No, when you enter the Korean community, you are always burning with Colchester talk?”
“Looking at those bastards, most of them see them on illegal betting sites and write to the community.”
“Fuck you bastards. I did nothing to support Korean on the site. I should have applied for Spanish.”
“Still, I think it will definitely be a successful investment if you go up to the Premier League or the second division, the Championship. Essex basically has a lot of middle class, and Colchester has a small population, but if you add the living area around Colchester, the population is quite large. Above all, the fact that Essex’s professional football team is here and only Southend United is a great advantage, and it’s close to London, so it’s good for Korean tourists to visit…”
While we were talking about Colchester United’s future. National League Round 25 The Essex derby against Southend United FC, the only two professional football teams existing in the state of Essex, was played at the U&I Community Stadium – the naming rights contract has expired but is being used temporarily – with the sound of the referee’s whistle. Has begun
Beep-!
“Up the U’s! Up the U’s! Up the good old white and blues!”
The gathered crowd sang the Colchester United cheering song, Up the U’s, and Yuna and I also sang along. Yohan watched the match with bright eyes while holding me.
“Up the U’s! Up the U’s! Up the good old white and blues!”
Fans who had the special experience of cheering together with the family of a famous soccer star in the stands began to sing the cheering song with a loud voice.
“When we get together what a game we’ll see!”
“We’re as strong as the old oak tree!”
“All for one and one for all!”
… You can’t understand the lyrics because you scream like that.
Unable to understand the lyrics, Yuna and I hummed with awkward expressions, but from the middle of the game, we just sang along with the chorus.
And at the end of our heated cheering, Colchester United lost dramatically to Southend United, their Derby opponents, at the U&I Communication Stadium, their hometown, by scoring a come-from-behind goal in extra time in the second half.
The moment when Southend United’s winning goal was scored
Profanity was rampant at the U&I Community Stadium, home of Colchester United.
“Hey you stupid bastards! Do you still lose even though the owner came?”
“Bugger off! Return the weekly wage! Bastards!”
Yuna, who has already shown herself to be a great hooligan in the Real Madrid crowd on one occasion, raises her middle finger. She cursed at the team.
“Does my husband play soccer like that while receiving a weekly wage on his hard-earned money?!”
“Pedro Rodriguez! You stupid bastard!”
It seemed that Yohan held out her middle finger after Yuna, but it must have been my mistake.
Oh, by the way, I said the last thing. No one was swearing at the director, so I spit it out.
At the same time as I spoke, I could feel the stern stares of the fans around me in an instant. Fortunately, the supporters of Colchester United, who realized that I was the one who made the remarks, silently withdrew their threatening gaze, and no incident like a fistfight between the owner and supporters occurred.
Pedro Rodriguez seems to be doing a good job as a manager.
You’ve already become a manager loved by supporters, right?
This is how Colchester’s coach for life, let’s go. Pedro!
