Chapter 257 – Side Story 91: Lord Jesus, the Salesman -1
***
Game over.
Real Madrid 3:1 Valencia.
[Valencia succeeds in scoring a consolation goal at the end of the game.]
[Real Madrid coach Valverde can’t smile despite his team’s victory.]
[Valverde is dissatisfied with Jesus’ frequent disciplinary action. ‘The referee’s decision was a little disappointing. No matter how much I thought about it, it wasn’t an exit.’]
[Jejus sent off for 2 consecutive games, what is the problem?]
[Jejus gave answers to reporters’ questions. ‘The problem is that regulations do not keep up with the times. Soccer should be a little more free and not bound by rules.’]
[Royal Spanish Football Association. ‘After watching the VAR again, I don’t see any intentionality. There will be no additional disciplinary action from Jejus.’]
[Jesus smiles with satisfaction at the statement from the Royal Spanish Football Association. ‘The age of darkness has arrived.’]
***
While the Lord Jesus declared an era of darkness in La Liga.
“Whew. This is it. After all, it’s Real Madrid.”
Pedro, the manager of Colchester United, walked around the manager’s office looking out the darkened window with a serious expression on his face.
Memories from the past quickly flashed through his eyes.
– There is little time left before the game ends! Colchester United’s ace Chow Yun catches the ball!
– Jooyun’s shot! Goooool-!! Oh my gosh!! He did it! Jooyun’s fantastic mid-range shot that leads Colchester United to the Champions League!
-The Colchester United crowd is pouring into the ground!!
-Colchester United advances to the Champions League for the first time in the club’s history! Their every step is becoming a legend!
Colchester United won the last game last season thanks to Jooyun’s miraculous mid-range shot and advanced to the Champions League for the first time in the club’s history.
[Is it lack of experience? Is it a result of hubris? Colchester United showing their worst performance!]
They are 49 – 50 early in the season. Due to the weight of the name Champions League, they did not achieve good results in the Champions League.
[Colchester United manager Pedro Martinez takes special measures. ‘It was decided to have an individual interview with Jeju at the boxing gym with the player who showed the worst performance.’]
[Pedro left a like on the video of Joo Jesus exploding a punching bag, and Joo Yoon posted a video of him waving a carrot on social media.]
In the end, Coach Pedro brought in the club owner. Colchester United succeeded in rebounding only after the players, who were prone to defeatism, were forced to become stronger.
[A miracle victory following last season! Colchester United succeeds in advancing to the round of 16 of the Champions League!]
└ This is the power of Colchester United! Colyu Punch! Colyu Punch!
└ Ah, what does it feel like to lose a game?
└ ㅆㅂ;; Anyone can see that they won the Champions League.
They barely finished second in their group and advanced to the round of 16 of the Champions League.
[R.I.P. Colchester United. Meet their owners in the round of 16.]
└ Kkkk Press the x key to express Joy.
└ Where are all the callers going?
└ Looks like he went to cry.
└ Ha. Fuck. Sober! I was happy!
└ You should win too, you bastard!
└ I’m back. Did you all cry?
└ Oh, I’ve spent a lot of money on Colchester. Should I pay dividends?
└ I’m sorry. Sorry. Danju, I must have gone crazy.
└ Damn the club owner is threatening fans under the pretext of dividends haha
└ ㄹㅇㅋ Is this a team? There is no separate bean powder family.
└ Yes, your past owner was Glazer. You idiot.
└ …
└ I’m sure it’s because they’re the ones fucking chicken in the community. Deal is crazy.
However, unfortunately, Colchester United ended up meeting Real Madrid in the round of 16 of the Champions League.
[The first-ever showdown between club owners and clubs in Champions League history. Who will be the winner?]
It was a shame for Colchester United, but the reporters cheered. The match between Real Madrid and Colchester United generated a lot of news.
[Waves of support pouring in towards Colchester United. ‘I hope for victory at the hands of the oppressor.’]
The public watched with drooling the subject of the club owner vs. The club unfolding in the Champions League.
[Jesus, owner of Colchester United. Foreshadow punishment. ‘I will do my best to destroy Colchester United.’]
Bishop Pedro sighed as he read the newspaper article containing the interview with the Lord Jesus.
“Motherfucker, this is your club.”
That day, as usual, the lights in Colchester United’s manager’s office did not go out until dawn. It could truly be considered the lighthouse of Colchester.
***
The first leg of the Champions League round of 16 is approaching. The first leg of the Champions League round of 16 was held at Oseong Universal Stadium, the home stadium of Colchester United.
Let’s enter the stadium. Colchester United’s stadium, which was completely different from when it was in the fourth division, welcomed Real Madrid players.
“Wow, is this a club owned by Jeju?”
“Oh. “It’s better than I thought.”
Colchester United’s stadium, which has continued to expand steadily, has now exceeded 30,000 seats. Even at a glance, it was clear that the lawn and auxiliary facilities were well maintained.
Unlike the Real Madrid players who watch the stadium with curious expressions.
I looked around the stadium with sad eyes.
‘Shit! That grass alone cost 2 billion won.’
Traces of money like my blood were visible everywhere.
‘It’s not exactly my money, it’s Colchester United’s money.’
Because Colchester United is mine. Isn’t it my money?
And really sadly, I haven’t received one of those common dividends yet.
‘Wow! I dreamed of becoming a Glazer at Colchester United.’
Unfortunately, reality did not live up to my lofty ideals.
While I was grieving over the expenses I had spent so far. I could hear Luis Garcia talking to himself.
“Hmm. Is this where my directing career begins?”
Hmm. Are you feeling unwell?
I can hear a dog barking somewhere.

As the match time approaches between Real Madrid and Colchester United. Football fans, one and two. I started to turn on the broadcast.
[A little later, the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 between Real Madrid and Colchester United will be held at Colchester Stadium. Watch it right now.]
└ ? What? Is the stadium naming rights contract already over?
└ No, it’s not over.
└ But why Colchester Stadium?
└ There is nothing we can do because it is a UEFA regulation.
└ ㅇㅎ.
└ Oh… Do it now.
The advertisement that continued continuously ended before we knew it. The broadcast screen showed players entering the stadium.
[49 – 50 This is the Colchester Stadium, where the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 will be played between Real Madrid and Colchester United. Korea’s proud soccer hero Joo Jesus, as well as Korea’s other proud players Joo Yoon and Joo Nazareth are entering the ground.]
[Come to think of it, Joo Yoon recently announced a renewal of his contract with Colchester United, right?]
└ Jooyun, that guy said in his interview about joining Colchester United that he wanted to go to Real Madrid. Why did you renew the contract?
└ I’d rather have a snake’s head than a dragon’s tail.
└ Well, lifting the Champions League trophy with Colchester United would have a greater impact than lifting the Champions League trophy with Real Madrid.
└ Pfft Colchester United wins the Champions League? Haha,
└ Yes, if we come to Danju, we will win.
└ You bastard, Jesus won the championship, did you guys win?
└ Look at the game, you guys.
[Yes. There were many rumors about Joo Yoon’s contract renewal, but in a recent interview, he said that he married his childhood friend from the same orphanage, and that he pursued stability rather than change in environment when he had a child.]
└ Yoongi oppa! I have to make my sister happy!
└ Sister Maria is happy!
└ What is it? Why has the comment window suddenly become quiet?
└ No, the children at the orphanage are also watching. I’m going to chat carefully.
└ You also had humanity.

The referee blew the whistle to start the game.
The game started with Colchester United leading the way, and I slowly walked around and looked at the players running around the ground frantically. I saw many familiar faces.
“These are all familiar faces.”
Not only Jooyun and Joonazaret, but also Matthias Bühüner, a German goalkeeper who is slowly making a name for himself, also caught my eye.
Matthias Bühüner.
The young goalkeeper, who just turned 22, was a player I recently recommended to Real Madrid after Yoo Young-beom’s transfer was abandoned.
This goalkeeper, who makes super saves with quick reflexes, was in the spotlight as he was nicknamed the next Yoo Young-beom while playing for Colchester United last season.
There are still a lot of small mistakes due to lack of experience, but I am confident that if he gains enough experience, he will be able to become a goalkeeper worthy of leaving a mark in soccer history.
So.
“It’s Real Madrid. “Why don’t you buy it for 100 billion?”
It is definitely not a hard sell.
Really.
