Chapter 224 – Side Story 58: Vs Dortmund -2
***
43 minutes in the first half.
Real Madrid 2:0 Dortmund.
I stood at the halfway line and watched the Real Madrid players running around.
When Dortmund, who had been collapsing after scoring two goals in a row, gathered their mentality and launched a counterattack, Real Madrid’s defense began to shake again.
If it were three years ago, Dortmund would have beaten us to the point where we couldn’t even breathe the moment we were two points behind.
Real Madrid’s power has definitely weakened significantly compared to its heyday.
Well, it’s already been 8 years since I joined Real Madrid.
The players who were starting players at the time had already retired or reached an age where it would not be surprising if the aging curve hit and their skills plummeted at any time.
“Whoa… “Have I gotten older too?”
Sergio Pepe barely blocks Dortmund’s attack and lets out a heavy breath.
The traces of time remained on his face.
“And… Did that bastard get the time right? “I’m so old.”
Let’s express our sorrow at the sight of Sergio Pepe, who has grown old before we know it.
“Shut up Jesus! “You son of a bitch!”
Sergio Pepe’s angry gaze turned towards me.
Oh my god, is this Bukanistan? It makes it impossible to say that old things are old.
I sighed and shook my head at the sight of Sergio Pepe, whose seizure button had been pushed.
“Now! Attack!”
While Sergio Pepe was looking at me, the game resumed with Dortmund’s throw-in.
“Sergio! You idiot! What are you doing! Come to your senses!”
Ter Neuer, who barely managed to block Ko Seok-jun’s shot, poured out a strong reprimand towards Sergio Pepe for not concentrating on the game.
“Whoa… Defense is the problem.”
I sighed while looking at that. As a mental leader, I am still leading Real Madrid to victory, but honestly, I don’t know what will happen next year.
As the season goes by, the defense is collapsing faster and faster due to tired players.
In the meantime, we quickly scored 5 goals at a time, arousing the opposing team’s mentality and not exposing their weaknesses.
Looking at the tactics brought by Dortmund, it can be assumed that other clubs have also figured out Real Madrid’s weakness, which is the aging defense.
Still, for the time being, it will be possible to accumulate points in games with overwhelming firepower, but that method is not far from coming to an end.
“Ah… “I don’t want to run.”
Recently, I started to overload my body more and more.
Probably soon I will fall into a state of ‘I don’t want to work’.
For your information, my request for a sabbatical from the club is also a decision to treat a medical condition.
And in a situation where he was suffering from a status abnormality in the first place, he tried to hold on to Real Madrid, which was slowly sinking. Are you going to listen to bullshit like 88848 like Messi did during the Bartomeu era?
So, it is right to take a short break here and be away from the team for a while for Real Madrid’s successful rebuild.
The question is whether Real Madrid’s rebuilding will be successful…
To be honest, I am a bit skeptical about whether Real Madrid’s rebuild will be successful.
Real Madrid’s front line has been preparing for a generational change four years ago.
“What is collusion? Collusion.”
It is not an easy situation due to interference from other clubs in Europe. They gritted their teeth and did not transfer the player to Real Madrid, even though Real Madrid demanded a higher transfer fee than other clubs.
In this way, the evil empire named Real Madrid was slowly sinking through the traditional European game of taking down first place.
***
Apart from Real Madrid slowly sinking.
As soon as the second half kicked off, I went into the Dortmund camp.
There is no particular reason for me to make such active and aggressive moves.
Just. During half-time, Valverde grabbed me and begged me not to get sent off until we scored four more goals.
They say I can grant the wishes of the dead, but with the feeling that I couldn’t grant even one wish to Valverde, a living person, I made a promise with a bright smile towards Valverde.
“Don’t get ejected, please don’t get ejected.”
However, Valverde seemed to not believe my promise and stood at the touch line with a shady expression.
I felt a little sad to see Valverde like that.
It is a symbol of faith and trust.
I am a corpse without credit, and I don’t believe in the Lord Jesus, the God of soccer.
Valverde distrusts everything in the world.
I think we need to score an additional goal so that Valverde can feel at ease.
Then wouldn’t Valverde, a non-believer, feel a little relieved?
“Luca! “Stab!”
As I gathered my thoughts, I called Luka Savic and handed him the ball. A small exclamation flows out of Luka Savic’s pass that shows his experience.
Honestly, I think it will be difficult to find a pass shuttle like Luka Savic or Luis Garcia in the future.
Because of the long 8 years together, those two people became a dedicated pass shuttle that perfectly read my mind.
Although it was new to me, I felt a little sad that my time on the field with those two was coming to an end.
Did you become emotional after the regression ended? I don’t think I’ve ever felt this way when I was repeating regression.
What.
Sigh-!
“Verdammt!! (Damn it!!)”
It’s not that I feel particularly bad.
This probably means that I am currently living my life faithfully with good people.
“Madrid! Madrid! Hala! Madrid!”
I was startled by the sudden roar of laughter from the audience and looked around.
Let’s look at Dortmund’s defenders with their heads down in frustration.
Only then did I realize that I had succeeded in scoring.
And.
“Booooo-! Hey you bastard!!”
“I will kill you! Jesus! “I will definitely kill you!!”
I also realized that I was naturally sprinting in front of the away Dortmund fans.
“Uh… Vamos?”
With an awkward expression on my face, I performed the Wasp Celebration in front of the away Dortmund fans.
“Weeeeeing-! You were so sweet~~”
I reversed course and ran to the other side of the stadium. It’s already too late not to celebrate now.
“Whoa, is this the harm of repetitive learning?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. It’s a warning.”
In this way, one yellow card similar to the color of Dortmund’s home uniform was accumulated.
***
After I went into a trance and started scoring and collecting cards at the same time.
“Jesus! Don’t do anything! Don’t even get defensive, just stay still!!”
A scared Valverde restricted my actions and prepared Roberto Fabianski.
It seemed like they wanted to replace me, who had a card, for the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals against Dortmund.
“Ebebe-! “I can’t hear you!”
If it had been before halftime, I would have been happy to be home from work, obeyed Valverde’s instructions, and left the ground.
Now I couldn’t just follow Valverde’s instructions. My current record is 2 goals and 1 assist.
It was so humiliating that the man known as the symbol of faith and trust and the god of soccer was substituted out without even scoring a hat-trick, let alone scoring the five goals he had promised.
“Uh?! Don’t run! Don’t run! “You son of a bitch!!”
I ignored Valverde yelling from the touchline to at least score a hat-trick. I ran around the ground with all my might.
Like that for a while.
“Huh? “What is that, a cat?”
I was running like crazy just looking at the ball.
Beep-!
“The game will be paused for a moment. Please wait.”
I couldn’t understand the situation on the ground.
“… Yes, Jejus! Stop!!”
To the referee who declared a stoppage of play and picked up the ball.
Powok.
He rushed like a bull and succeeded in making the second referee V.
“Uh… Lord. Let’s send one more person away. Please take care of me there.”
I placed my hands neatly on the solar plexus of the referee, who had fainted from the joy of flying, and prayed.
Was the heavens also touched by my warm heart?
The referee woke up safely and didn’t even hand me a card.
.
.
.
Game over.
Real Madrid 3:1 Dortmund.

[With the aging of key players, is Real Madrid okay?]
[Coach Valverde, responding to the aging of Real Madrid, said, ‘As long as Jesus, the center of Real Madrid, is there, Madrid will not be shaken. That is why Jesus should not be given a sabbatical year.’]
[Dortmund’s Ko Seok-jun scores a make-up goal with an excellent curling kick.]
[Dortmund coach expresses disappointment with the referee’s decision. ‘Jesus’ headbutt was enough to warrant a yellow card.’]
