Chapter 166 – Romantic Striker -6 Completed
I held my phone and cried for a while. I didn’t know why my tears were flowing, but the moment I saw Yohan’s face, I couldn’t stop crying.
“Uuuuu! Dad, Uldima!!”
When Yohan saw me cry, he cried too. Our father and son were busy shedding tears for a while, and as time passed, they barely came to their senses.
“Baa, don’t you cry anymore?”
I was a little embarrassed by the fact that I cried like a newborn in front of my young son.
So I may have made a somewhat lame excuse.
“… No, Dad, I didn’t cry, it was because dust got into my eyes.”
After hearing his father’s lame excuse, Yohan showed that he understood everything. Yohan looked around as if it were some great secret and spoke quietly.
“Ganchana~ Yohani knows everything! Dad, are you crying because you’re hungry? “
I wonder whose son is this so cute? I burst out laughing at Yohan’s cute words and actions. After finishing the phone call with Yohan, I briefly said hello to Yuna.
“Oh my, honey, your puffy eyes are so cute.”
As soon as Yuna saw my swollen eyes, she started teasing me playfully.
“…”
“Baby, you must be tired from playing the game, take a break.”
Yuna’s last words made her feel at ease. I confessed my love to her, albeit a little out of the blue. Even though Yuna has become a mother of three children, her pretty smile has not changed at all as it did when we first met.
Hehe, I love you too, Jesus. You had a hard time playing today. Sleep well~”
After I finished my phone call with her, I called President Nuñez, who now feels like a real father to me, and thanked her for taking care of her family while I was competing in the World Cup.
“… So what about injuries?”
He was more upset that I got injured and could not play in the Real Madrid game than that I eliminated Spain.
“Huh, I understand. First, don’t worry about your family and get the surgery first.”
I had to call Du-sik, but I was tired, perhaps because the tension had eased after the game. My eyelids slowly began to droop, and I could not bear the stress and fell asleep.

[Jesus Joo leads Korea to its first ever finals with a hat trick!]
└ Even if this happens, you still won’t believe in Jesus!!
└ Jesus heaven, disbelief hell!!
└ Jesus heaven, disbelief hell!!
[The heaven of Jesus and the hell of disbelief echoing in Gwanghwamun Square.]
└ Jesus heaven, disbelief hell!!
└ Jesus heaven, disbelief hell!!
└ Ha… The whole world… Jesus heaven, disbelief hell!!
└ What is the variation of the previous exam?
└ LOL
[Let’s learn about Korea’s soccer hero Joo Jesus, his biography.]
[Breaking News] Appearance in the finals is uncertain due to injuries to Ko Seok-jun, Kim Dong-jun, and Joo Jesus.]
└ We played one game and 95% of the team’s strength was lost.
└ There was a purple alien in the Spanish national team ㅅㅂ;;
└ In fact, the finals are over.
└ Whoever wins between Argentina and England will win.
[Emergency] Jesus Joo leaves the national team for ankle surgery, decides to get surgery in Korea and head straight to Madrid.]
└ ㅠㅠㅠㅠ Jesus brother ㅠㅠㅠㅠ You worked hard ㅠㅠ
└ ㄹㅇ ㅠㅠ This World Cup was romantic itself.
└ No, isn’t this a bit much? Still, since you’re the captain of the Korean national team, isn’t it right to be with you until the end?
└ The one who is right is your mother who gave birth to you.
└ Fuck. If you say that you changed your ankle in the semifinals and made it to the finals, that’s bullshit, then even Jesus will come to you.

The day after the semifinal match between Korea and Spain ended with Korea’s victory.
The semifinal match between Argentina and England took place.
Both teams knew that the team that won this game had a high probability of winning the final as they had heard the news of the injury to the Korean national team right before the game.
The two teams played a tough game, with 6 yellow cards in the first half alone, and eventually Argentina defeated England and advanced to the finals.
And the value of the name of Leo Lopez, who succeeded in scoring Argentina’s first and key goals in this game, has increased.
[Argentine star Leo Lopez scoring multiple goals!]
[A love call to Leo Lopez. Real Madrid President Núñez. ‘We are not in need of money.’]
[Argentine star Leo Lopez leaves a meaningful remark. ‘The future is unknown.’]
Leo Lopez’s interview sparked transfer rumors.
While the world’s attention was focused on Leo Lopez’s transfer rumors.
[Jesus enters Korea for ankle surgery. Joo Jesus agent Kim Doo-sik ‘After the surgery, he plans to leave immediately for Madrid, where his family is, to ensure mental and physical stability.’]
The Lord Jesus entered Korea and underwent surgery safely.
“The surgery went well. “If you rehabilitate well, your career as an athlete will not be greatly affected.”
Football Association officials heaved a sigh of relief after hearing the doctor’s words. Of all the people there, including the doctor, the one who seemed most calm was the Lord Jesus.
“… Then how long is the rehabilitation period?”
Joo Jesus’ agent Kim Doo-sik, who was upset that only he had not contacted him on the day of the game, cautiously asked the doctor. The doctor answered, touching his chin with his fingertips.
“Well, I think you’ll have to focus on rehabilitation for at least 7 months.”
In fact, upon hearing that the season was out, the despairing face of President Nuñez flashed through the Lord Jesus’ mind.
‘… Hmm. I guess I’ll just take a break and make it up to a year.’
#
[Lord Jesus, the surgery was successful. There is no problem with my career as a player.]
└ Wow… Thank goodness.
└ Jesus type ㅠㅠ
[The government of the Republic of Korea reviews medals for the players of the 2042 FIFA China World Cup team. ‘I am grateful to the players who gave joy to the people with their best performances.’]
[FIFA China World Cup Finals Korea vs. Argentina pre-game interview.]
[Argentina will not let down their guard and do their best in the final despite the departure of Jesus Christ.]
└ I think you guys will win even if you let your guard down. Just take it easy.
└ ㄹㅇㅋ
[Korea national team coach Utilike. ‘There is a big gap due to injuries to key players. I feel sorry for the soccer fans who are looking forward to the finals, but we want to give them a stage experience called the finals by focusing on promising players.’]
└ Kya-! Ubeoji (Utilike’s father) is worried about the future of Korean soccer until the end.
└ Still, it’s a final game, but it’s a bit bad to see people say they’ve given up like that…
└ Jesus-hyung, Tong-jun, and Seok-jun are also injured in their calves, so it’s hard to do anything. It would be better to give prospects experience for the next World Cup.

[Game ends) Korea 1:7 Argentina]
└ Fuck Aemi Buksan ending haha
└ I’m watching the semifinals and the finals. Are these the same team? Haha,
└ Utilike OUT!! Utilike OUT!!
└ Korean soccer was a bubble.
└ Oh, Jesus didn’t say it was a Korean tulip for no reason. You said that Korean soccer is a bubble.
└ Kkkk Such a profound meaning
└ Now that I think about it, there hasn’t been any news about Esu Hyung these days?
[Joo Jesus heads to Madrid with his agent. It was confirmed that Real Madrid President Nuñez sent a private plane.]
└ Earlier, someone asked about the status of Jesus’ execution, and you came right away.
└ No, but what do the association bastards do? A soccer hero is going to Madrid on the club president’s private plane.
└ The association made a first class reservation, and upon hearing the news, Chairman Nuñez sent his own private plane.
└ ㅆㅂㅋ A country’s soccer association treats its players worse than the club team president.
└ Still, fuck, if you buy match-fixing players, who hasn’t done something like this? ㅇㅈ?
└ ㅇㅈ Now that I think about it, the association has changed a lot.
└ If you do that shit, like Jesus, you will immediately retire from the national team. Haha, would you do that? Haha,
└ It suppresses trolling not only from the opposing team but also from our own soccer association haha
└ Suppressive striker haha

Du-sik and I went back to Madrid after the surgery was completed, and we observed the progress for a while. The Korea Football Association gave me first class, but President Nuñez, who heard about the extent of my injury through Du-sik, sent his private plane to Korea.
We returned to Madrid comfortably, expressing our gratitude to President Núñez for his kindness. When I saw my family at the airport, tears flowed again as if my tear ducts were broken.
I cried and hugged my family. I felt the warmth of my family in my chest. A feeling of happiness took over the emotions that had been worn down through repeated regression over a long period of time.
A smile appeared on his lips. Yuna returned to her home in Madrid in a car driven by
Let’s return home after a long time. I finally felt like I was back where I needed to be.
And that evening.
It’s been a while since the family gathered in one place to eat.
“Dad, you’re sick, so eat as much as you need and get better soon!”
Yohan, who didn’t want to eat carrots, sneakily moved towards me, but was caught by Yuna and scolded.
“Major!! “Mom told me not to be a picky eater!”
Although it was nothing special, it felt strangely new.
The existence of regression cut me off from fitting in with the world, and for a long time I lived as a stranger who did not belong to the world.
“Nah!! “I don’t want carrots!!”
Even though regression was broken, the world did not change. But the world I feel has changed.
Every little thing felt new and infinitely more precious. It was then that I remembered the saying that this is a once-in-a-lifetime moment.
For the first time since the Curse of Return, I picked up my smartphone and took a picture. Because it was my first time taking pictures, there were a lot of awkward parts.
The first family photo I took with my own hands felt like the most valuable treasure in the world.
“Dad! You’re torturing Ma!”
Listening to the noisy voices of my family, I hoped that tomorrow would be a day like today, ordinary to others but extremely special to me.
