Chapter 208 – Side Story 42: Hao.
***
[Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City, etc. Inquire about Jesus price from Real Madrid.]
As the summer transfer market opened in mid-June, countless rumors related to transfers were created.
[List of players that Colchester United must sign to survive.]
In Korea, there was so much interest that a specialized channel was created to cover transfer articles related to Colchester United.
[Jesus Joo sends a love call to Adam Joo, who plays for SL Benfica. ‘It is time for the youngest who ran away from home to return.’]
└ Wow, Adam Joo Colchester?
└ Will we be able to see the Goa qualifying team at Colchester United?
└ Ah haha my heart started fluttering.
└ But hasn’t Adam Joo been proven for the big leagues yet?
└ So I think I can bring it in cheaply.
└ First, I don’t think there will be any adaptation problems. There are also Juyun and Junazaret, and there is no language problem, but most of them are Spanish, so there is no communication problem at all.
└ It is also not good to have too many Koreans on the team. Cliques can arise for no reason.
Naturally, Korean citizens began arguing on the Internet every day.
[Joo Jacob, theory of link with Colchester United.]
└ He also did well in the K-League.
└ It feels like he is the only one watching Spanish soccer.
└ Of course it will have a Spanish feel, I learned it under the Korean manager of Real Madrid;;
└ Personally, I would like to go to Colchester. I am very curious to see how far the Korean national team’s midfield line will be able to perform against Premier League teams.
└ Kya… The K national team is shaking up the big leagues, my heart flutters.
[Jubaul completely denies the rumor of a link with Colchester United. ‘Even I know it myself. I am not ready yet.’]
└ Those reporters are just posting links if they are from Jesus Orphanage.
└ I think Joubaul is going to Porto.
└ Porto isn’t bad either.
└ ㅇㅇ ‘Samurai’ Baek Dong-soo is active in Porto and the perception of him as a Korean striker will likely be good.
└ Dongsu, he did well in Nottingham as well.
└ Is it good for a striker who only scored 10 goals this season?
└ Danju played 12 games and scored 40 goals…
└ Fuck. Because you compare it to Danju, you idiot.
└ If you scored 7 goals in the league and 3 goals in the cup competition in your debut season in the Premier League, you did a good job.
└ ㄹㅇ Damn shit. If it weren’t for poor Jesus, it would have been 100 times faster than it is now.
Colchester United’s leadership, including Joo Jesus and Kim Du-sik, began negotiating a uniform sponsorship based on the buzz surrounding them.
“Hmm… No matter what, there is a high probability of being relegated next year. This amount is a little…”
“If I think we’re going to be relegated, I can go on loan in the winter transfer market and play for half a season. Then Colchester United can at least qualify for the Europa League.”
“Uh… Soccer is a sport played alone…”
“It is a sport played alone.”
We were able to conclude the uniform contract negotiations on good terms.
[Colchester United signs uniform sponsorship deal with Korean conglomerate Ohsung. The contract period is 3 years and the amount is estimated to be approximately 7 million euros (KRW 10 billion).
However, Colchester United were not satisfied with just signing a uniform contract.
After signing a uniform sponsorship contract with Ohsung, a leading Korean conglomerate.
[Colchester United’s home stadium naming rights sold to American conglomerate Pineapple?]
We looked into selling stadium naming rights by contacting rival companies.
[Ohsung purchased the naming rights to Colchester United Stadium. Starting next season, Oseong Universal Stadium will be used instead of U&I Stadium.]
Even the stadium naming rights were able to be sold to Ohseong for a reasonable price.
“Just negotiate together then…” .”
“Hmm.”
From Ohsung’s perspective, it was impossible to see the Colchester United players wearing Ohsung Electronics uniforms at the rival company’s stadium, and since they had originally intended to purchase the stadium naming rights, the person in charge of Ohsung looked dumbfounded and purchased the stadium naming rights as a set. I did it.
Of course, it was no secret that the price of the stadium naming rights was reduced due to scandal.
Anyway, with the money saved so frugally and a loan secured by Premier League broadcasting rights fees, Colchester United started recruiting a storm.
[Joo Yoon, Joo Nazareth renews his contract with Colchester United for four years.]
The first thing to do was to organize the players.
We pushed for contract renewals for Juyun, Junazaret, and other key players who were capable of playing in the Premier League.
“… Ha, I thought I’d play at least one game in the Premier League.”
“I’m sorry… And thank you for your dedication.”
Players who were backup, or rotation players were transferred to other clubs in the Championship for a reasonable fee.
Once the organization of the players was somewhat completed. Colchester United has entered the summer transfer market in earnest.
“What position do we need most now?”
“Wouldn’t it be a defender to stay?”
“We also need to bring in a striker who can finish in the penalty box. Sterling is a great striker, but his decision-making skills are a bit…”
“Junasaret and Juyun are at a level where they can compete in the midfield with mid-to-upper Premier League teams! All you have to do is recruit rotation members to replenish!”
“Tom is enough as a goalkeeper! I think we just need to bring in one backup keeper with a promising future!”
Colchester United, through a meeting with the manager and staff, strengthened mainly weak positions with the goal of remaining in the team.
[Colchester United approaches AS Monaco striker French Jesus Platani.]
However, is it because Lord Jesus did not spend too much money on Colchester United?
“Director! AS Monaco is asking for 33 million pounds (about KRW 38 billion) for the transfer of Platani?”
“Stop fucking with me and tell me to fuck off.”
Even though they had a huge amount of money that they had saved up with their souls, they never opened their wallets, thinking about the difficult times.
[Among Premier League clubs, Colchester United is the only team with zero entries so far.]
As a result, Colchester United was unable to sign a single player until the end of June.
“If I’m not going to use your money, can I distribute it?”
Jesus, who could not see what was happening, called coach Pedro and general manager Jorginho and took out a dividend card that would cut open the piggy bank.
“Shit. If this continues, the recruitment funds will become dividends for that evil Asian bourgeoisie.”
“Whoa… That won’t work. Let’s write.”
Colchester United’s recruitment storm has begun.
[Colchester United has finally started to free up money, signing French national team defender Emmanuel Bernard for 78.1 billion won. ‘After playing the pre-season in Korea, I want to stop by Akihabara, Japan.’]
[Here we go, Llorente of Atletico Madrid. Personal agreement reached with Colchester United. ‘The phone call with Jeju was decisive.’]
***
Colchester United’s dream of promotion to the Premier League has been confirmed and time passes quickly.
[Real Madrid, pre-season surprise visit to Korea on July 13th. A successful match against Colchester United, who were promoted to the EPL!]
Real Madrid’s pre-season has begun.
The pre-season schedule was a Northeast Asia tour that would take us to Korea via China and Japan, so we headed to China first.
“Waaah-!”
“Hao, hao.”
In the past, I would have passed China and Japan at the same time and leisurely joined Korea, but this time, they said they would give me free pandas, and I also had good memories of breaking the cycle by reaching the finals at the last World Cup in China, so I made up my mind to go to China. I decided to visit.
“What is your favorite food in China?”
Ah. Please note that pandas were not accepted. The cost of maintaining that thing is ridiculous.
“I’m Chinese.”
Anyway, I was in China for a pre-season friendly match against China and I mentioned the Chinese food that came to mind to satisfy the Chinese cravings.
Isn’t there anything more thrilling than a foreign sports star saying that he drinks Korean chicken and likes Rose Tteokbokki?
“Shanghai Burger Hao.”
But strangely, every time I opened my mouth, the expressions on the Chinese officials’ faces became mysterious. There’s something I really want to say, but it feels like I’m being forced to hold back.
What. Are you asking me to sing the Tiananmen song of consolation?
Real Madrid’s pre-season schedule went on as planned, even as I looked at the puzzled faces of the officials.
“Haha, isn’t it said that Jesus Joo has a good eye for prospects? How about it? “They are promising players that China is proud of.”
We took pictures with promising Chinese players, shared good words with them, and looked at the children who were said to be talented and provided heavy facts.
“… Well, I think it would be better to look into other avenues than soccer.”
“To be honest, I have no talent.”
“Among the children at the Jesus Orphanage I run, some who are that talented has given up on being athletes and are looking for other paths on their own.”
I really sincerely hoped that Chinese soccer would develop, so I made a sharp remark, but the Chinese media gritted their teeth and ignored the fact, publishing a crazy article saying that I was jealous of the talent of Chinese prospects.
[Popularized soccer geniuses that even the Lord Jesus, the god of soccer, is jealous of.]
After checking the article, I, of course, came to China! He muttered under his breath that it was the country of Tiananmen and avoided contact with the media as much as possible.
While I was avoiding the media, a match was held between Real Madrid and the Chinese Super League All-Stars.
Poop-!
“Dajahao punch!”
“Cough-. River… It’s strong. Is this the world’s strongest punch?”
“You’re a successful candidate! Use the passing list!”
“It’s a humane tactic! “The only way we can win is by using humane tactics!”
After playing with the Chinese Super League All-Stars for about 22 minutes at the stadium.
“Jesus Award! Where is the place you most want to visit in Japan?”
Headed to Japan.
“I heard that Pearl Harbor is very famous in Japan. “I’d like to go there someday.”
***
[Title: My favorite Chinese food is Shanghai Burger.]
My favorite Japanese tourist destination is Pearl Harbor…
Is this guy doing this on purpose?
└ You say it in a way that reminds me a bit of Danju.
└ ㄹㅇ It’s not that I’m ignorant, but I’m speaking without going through my brain.
└ Then what is the sobriety brain used for?
└ Didn’t you know it was a hat rack?
└ Hahat girl haha
