Chapter 262 – Side Story 96: Leader World Cup -1
***
The Champions League final match has ended.
“Eternal Madridista!!”
“Sergio-!!”
“Pepe-!!”
In addition to the Champions League victory celebration, Sergio Pepe’s retirement ceremony was held at the Santiago Bernabeu.
“…”
Just before his retirement ceremony, Sergio Pepe boasted that he would never shed tears, but as soon as he entered the stadium, he couldn’t say anything and began to shed tears as Madrid stars chanted his name in the stands.
‘Retire.’
I was lost in thought as I looked at Sergio Pepe, who couldn’t raise his head due to tears.
Unlike my past lives, I will be able to have a retirement ceremony in this life.
How did I feel at that time?
Are you laughing at the thought of quitting soccer? Or is he like Sergio Pepe now, moved to tears?
It was a feeling I couldn’t understand at the moment.
What.
“I have to retire, but how long will I cry?”
I don’t think I hate retirement ceremonies that much.
***
[Adios Sergio Pepe. ‘I would like to thank the madridistas who have supported me so far. That’s it for me as a soccer player, but from now on, as a madridista, you will be rooting for Real Madrid together.
[As Sergio Pepe’s retirement speech ends, the Lord Jesus gives him a retirement cake.]
└No one like him;; Where did you get the blanket from?
[Luis Garcia and Luka Savic with white-faced expressions.]
└ Luka Savic, this bastard has reversed his retirement lol
└ If I see that, I’ll change my retirement plan haha
[Sergio Pepe announces that he will participate in the next retirement bakery event. ‘It feels good to see a new tradition at Real Madrid.’]
└ Those eyes are so cruel haha
└ I was so upset that I suddenly got hit during the retirement ceremony haha
[Real Madrid Luka Savic signs new contract. ‘The little child inside me yelled at me to sign a new contract.’]
└ Isn’t that a survival signal, not a small child?
└ I heard that it is written in the contract renewal that retirement bread is not suitable. I wonder if this is true.
[The Korean national team leaves for leader, the host of the World Cup.]
[Controversy over Yoo Young-beom’s inclusion in the national team while he is recovering from injury. ‘Jesus said. No matter what happens, we will advance to the semifinals, so join the national team and be a part of the glorious moment. Even though Jesus is younger than me, Jesus is like an older brother who is more reliable than anyone else on the national team.’]
└Kya, romance itself.
└ As expected, the claim that knows romance ㅠㅠ
[Joo Jesus looks embarrassed at Yoo Young-beom’s interview. ‘… Did I say that?’]
└ It’s a romantic wajangchang.
└ Bring back my emotions ㅠㅠ
[Yoo Young-beom shows his determination in the World Cup, ignoring Joo Jesus’ interview. ‘Even if it means burning the rest of my career, I will come back with the best results from this World Cup.’]
[Director James Cook opens up about the controversy over the boarding of Yoo Young-beom. ‘I don’t know if this is the right thing to do. The player’s will was too strong.’]
└ The player’s will is being ruined. If you’re the manager, you should stop him.
└ But since it is the last World Cup, I think it is possible.
└ Even though it is easier for goalkeepers to maintain their skills than field players, there is nothing we can do about it since they will be in their late 30s in 4 years, and you never know when their form may drop.
└ What will happen to Korea if the current starting players retire? ㅠㅠ
└ ? If you advance to the round of 16, you’ve done well.
└ Kids who watched soccer after Brother Jesus appeared took the semifinals for granted.
└ ㄹㅇ In 2038, they were eliminated without even passing the group stage, but they made it to the semifinals ㅇㅈㄹ haha
[How far can the D-1 Korean national team rise until the opening of the World Cup?]
***
The World Cup, known as the world’s festival, has opened.
It was the third World Cup after a comeback. No, if you include the 2038 World Cup, is it the 4th World Cup?
What. That’s not important.
What truly matters.
“It’s hot.”
Leader was hot in June.
It was really too hot.
It was crazy weather with the highest temperature approaching 40 degrees.
‘Play soccer in this weather?’
I couldn’t understand it at all.
‘Is FIFA trying to kill me?’
The excessively hot weather robbed me of my brilliant reason and compassion reminiscent of Buddha.
“I have now become death, the destroyer of the world.”
“… Is that what you mean when you kick someone during training?”
“Seokjun, you bastard! How dare you play with his tongue! “Do you want to die?”
“… Crazy guy. “I really enjoyed the heat.”
I gradually began to become violent, like the protagonist of a violent game.
– What do you think about leader?
And it would have been highly unlikely that the preliminary interview conducted under such circumstances would have proceeded properly.
“It’s a great country where if you don’t hand over the gold, there will be bloodshed.”
-… Yes?
***
The reporters stared blankly at the Lord Jesus for a while. Even non-expert reporters could see at a glance that the Lord Jesus was in poor physical condition by looking at the appearance of the Lord Jesus, whose skin and bones were close and out of focus.
[Korea national team emergency? Jesus, the god of soccer, is not in good shape.]
They quickly reported on the physical condition of the Lord Jesus and continued to ask questions.
-He looks unwell.
A reporter from South Korea was concerned about the physical condition of the Lord Jesus.
“It’s in the best condition.”
– What do you think about Serbia, your first match opponent?
A reporter from Serbia wanted to hear the evaluation of his country’s national team.
“This is a strong team with a great defender named Vladimir Rajovic.”
-Is there a trick to win the game against Serbia?
“It will show the spirit of Goguryeo as it raced across the plains of Manchuria.”
-Goguryeo is the history of China. Why do Koreans bring up Goguryeo? Would you like to join the Chinese national team?
China was China.
“Cultural Revolution Number One. “I hope there will be more Cultural Revolutions in China.”
And there was also a Japanese reporter who came looking for a scoop.
– Jejusang! What are the expected performance of the Japanese national team in this World Cup?
“I expect that we will achieve good results. May Little Boy’s blessings be with Japan.”
***
Maybe it’s because of the extremely hot weather in leader. The World Cup matches took place only after the sun had set.
The same was true for the match between Korea and Serbia.
Beneath leader’s World Cup Stadium as the sun sets and darkness falls.
The Serbian spectators in the stands booed the Korean national team fiercely.
‘As expected, he is the culprit of World War I. You pour out pad lip carelessly.’
They poured out their pad lip without hesitation. I nodded quietly and admired the Serb’s disgust when asking about my family’s well-being without hesitation.
‘Emotional agitation can cause mistakes.’
It was an effort to somehow discourage or anger the Korean players and cause them to make mistakes.
“Heh. “Our Orphan Pirates are not swayed by that much padding!”
But the Serbian crowd’s basic strategy was wrong. Currently, most players on the Korean national team are immune to Padrip.
“… Bro, we don’t know what they’re talking about.”
Ah. I see.
“What the audience said…”
I nodded to Jooyun’s words and then interpreted the Serbian audience’s padding with a kind smile.
Actually, I don’t know Serbian either.
It’s just an inference that he must have made a bad comment based on the audience’s harsh atmosphere.
But they don’t know Serbian anyway.
There was no problem.
***
[South Korea awakens after Joo Jesus’ encouraging speech and pushes Serbia hard!]
[Ah! The national team looked anxious at the beginning of the game! Jesus Christ’s leadership shines!]
[He’s a really great player, isn’t he? This is Joo Jesus, the ‘god of soccer’, captain of the Korean national team whose aura can be felt even when standing still!]
***
The expressions of Serbian players can be seen puzzled by the sudden change in Korea.
“@$@*!*$(“
“@*!($*!”
Vladimir Rajovic, who plays for Real Madrid like me, looked embarrassed and started talking in Serbian to his fellow center back.
“Hmm. What are you talking about?”
I couldn’t understand what they were saying.
But what does it matter if you can’t understand?
Language is just a means of communication, and true communication is achieved through the heart.
I ‘understood’ what they said using the method of attention, and pointed to Vladimir Rajovich and said to Juyun, who came to my side.
“They say that guy over there is nothing the size of a rat?”
“A guy the size of a rat? Who are you talking about?”
“You.”
“…”
Juyun, who was listening to what I said, suddenly felt something strange. He approached Vladimir Lazovich and asked in Spanish whether what I said was true.
“Huh? “I didn’t say that?”
“… !!”
Jooyun soon realized that what I said was a lie and attacked him, possessing Luis Garcia.
“So what are you going to do? What can you, a skinny person, do?”
There was no problem as they were easily overpowered due to the overwhelming physical difference.
