[Title: Lord Jesus, you damn bastard]
(Lord Jesus scoring record. Jpg)
Last season, only 72 goals were scored.
└ Jesus is getting older and not doing any eccentric things… 72 goals… Waste ㅇㅈ ㅋ
└ Now you look like a human bastard haha
└ㄹㅇㅋ In many ways, I didn’t feel like a human being, but now I feel like a human being.
└ Is it human to score 72 goals at age 37? ;;;
└ I thought sobriety would never age haha
└ Ha… Sobriety. I feel strangely sad that my eccentricities gradually diminish as I get older. I thought Danju wouldn’t be immatureㅠㅠ
└ That’s how everyone gets older ㅠㅠ
└ Soccer is so boring these days. Danju, let’s find our original intention.
└ Beginner = Step on your foot and leave as soon as the game starts.
└ Haha
└ Wow haha what a memory haha

2057 – 2058 season. Finally, Yohan was called up to the first team.
Due to my passion for retirement, I used a bit of a cowardly trick and got called up faster than expected.
What… It was a matter of timing, but I thought I would be promoted to the first team sooner or later.
It is said that Pedro also had plans to call up Yohan next season.
“Are you nervous?”
I said with a nervous expression, stroking the head of Yohan, who was sitting in the passenger seat.
“Article… I’m shaking. Dad, can I do well?”
Yohan, who looked exactly like me when I was young, nodded his head with a stern expression.
“Then. You are my son, so you will do well.”
I answered Yohan’s question with a smile.
And let’s arrive at the 1st team training ground.
“… Uh. “They are all uncles I saw at home.”
As I said, Yohan immediately shook off his nervousness.
***
Joo-han Jo, who joined Real Madrid’s first team, felt foolish for being nervous.
‘It’s a familiar face.’
That’s right too. Starting with coach Pedro, head coach Iker Bravo, and veteran players were all people who had been frequenting the house of the Lord Jesus since Yohan was a child.
“Yo. This! Kid! “Have you been to school?”
“Isn’t he bigger than you for a kid? “What on earth did I eat to get this big even though I’m 15?”
Real Madrid’s veteran wingers Leo Lopez and Jesus González, known as the Golden Wings, greet Jo Joo-han warmly.
“John!! “It’s finally come up!”
Goalkeeper Matthias Bühüner also expressed his joy by waving his hand while wearing goalkeeper gloves.
“Under… Is it okay for new recruits to not be so rude?”
Of course, not everyone liked John.
However, veteran players who were close to Joo Jesus treated Yohan like their own nephew and actively helped him adapt.
“Hmm… “It’s not as big of a deal as I thought, right?”
Joo Johan was able to quickly adapt to the Real Madrid first team.
***
A month has passed since the 2057-2058 season opened. Coach Pedro saw Jo Joo-han seem to have adapted to the first team to some extent.
I decided to debut Joo Joo-han in the game against Valencia a few days later.
[Real Madrid, Yoo Joo-han will make his debut performance before Valencia.]
So, once Yohani’s debut match was confirmed.
Real Madrid widely spread the news of Yoo Joo-han’s debut with coach Pedro’s permission.
[Selected by La Liga Secretariat. The most anticipated debut match.]
The La Liga Secretariat also followed Real Madrid’s steps.
[FC Barcelona fans are concerned about the debut news of Spain’s future Joo Yoo-han. ‘Real Madrid and his father’s greed are trying to ruin the young prospect.’]
[Colchester United manager Luis Garcia scoffs at the concerns of FC Barcelona fans. ‘They don’t know anything.’]
[Colchester United manager Luis Garcia criticizes Real Madrid manager. ‘Yohan’s professional debut was later than I expected. Pedro doesn’t seem to have an eye for players.’]
[Sergio Pepe declares the end of his world tour. ‘The future of Real Madrid debuts. If I miss this game, I will regret it for the rest of my life.’]
Thanks to the efforts of the club and the secretariat, the news that the son of Jesus, the god of football, was making his professional debut spread around the world, attracting the attention of football fans.
[The Kimchi Pirates declared a gathering at the Santiago Bernabeu.]
And it was the same in Korea.
[There was talk that Joo Joo-han, the son of Joo Jesus, would make his debut in the game against Valencia. Contrary to expectations that he would appear as a substitute, it turned out to be true as he was named in the starting XI!]
└ Isn’t everyone going to work tomorrow?
└ I took annual leave to watch this game haha
└ ㅁㅊ bastard haha
└ About you?
└ Me too haha
Even though the game was held at 2 a.M. On Sunday (Korean standard), news spread that it was the debut game of a major team. Many viewers gathered on the broadcasting channel.
[Ah, I see a young player in the entrance tunnel. Anyway, it looks a lot like Joo Jesus’ childhood!]
└ ㅆㅃㅋㅋ Anyone can see that he is Jesus’ brother’s son. ㅋ
└ Isn’t Yohan 15 years old now?
└ ㄴㄴ I turned 16 after my birthday.
└ I’m 16 years old, why are my physiques like that? ㅅㅂ;;
└ It’s hereditary.
[The game has started. Joo Jesus, who achieved 1,500 professional goals last season… Are you smiling? Uh… ? Does the referee blow the whistle and approach a key player?]
└ ㅆㅃ You can’t leave!! I paid annual leave just to watch this!!!
└ No one knows what happened, but we are already predicting the future haha
└ ㄹㅇㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ That familiar scene haha
***
Before the game starts.
Leo Lopez, looking at Joo-han with a nervous expression, tapped Joo-han Jo on the shoulder and said.
“Kid. Don’t be nervous and play like you normally do.”
‘As usual?’
Joo Hae-jung repeats Leo Lopez’s words to himself.
Beep-!
The boy said as soon as the game started.
“Babe, through Abby’s connections… “Wow.”
Peook─.
‘Like he usually did in the youth team’, he drove his kidney into the solar plexus of an opposing defender who was trying to trash talk.
“Laughs. It looks like a new wind will blow in La Liga.”
The referee was a referee who had played in La Liga for a long time and had adapted to Joo Joo-han. He reminisced and handed Joo Joo-han a yellow card.
“Referee, how can this be a warning—!”
“It’s noisy. Do you want to get beaten up by a 15-year-old snot and whine at the referee? “You should be embarrassed!”
Naturally, the Valencia players were dissatisfied with the referee’s decision and strongly protested, but the referee instead strongly scolded the Valencia players.
‘Is this a boy from the touch?’
Joo-han realized the referee’s reaction. That young age can be used as a weapon.
***
25 minutes in the first half.
I looked at the ground. Yohan can be seen following the Valencia defenders.
As soon as the game started, John burst into laughter when he committed a foul. This is because he seemed to have failed to control his strength due to tension.
But after receiving the card, Yohan seemed to relax. He committed fouls so cleverly that he tormented the Valencia defenders to the point where he did not receive a card.
“Referee, why isn’t this a foul?”
“Isn’t it so ugly that you lost to a 15-year-old in a physical fight?”
While the Valencia defender protested to the referee.
“Dad-!!”
I stabbed the pass towards my son, who was shouting for his dad and asking for the pass.
Is it because we have been playing soccer together since we were young? Yohan knew me well, and I also knew Yohan well.
The ball arrived exactly where Yohan wanted, and Yohan calmly deceived the opposing defender with a shot feint and then kicked the ball low in the opposite direction of the goalkeeper, successfully scoring.
Come on!
Yohan, who succeeded in scoring, ran towards me at full speed and hugged me. I patted Yohan’s head.
The child who begged me to play soccer with him while holding a soccer ball the size of his body has grown up and is playing with me on the field.
“Our little god is going to school tomorrow, you idiots!”
The madridistas cheered with excitement at Yohan’s goal.
Yuna, the twins, Joseph, and members of the Kimchi Pirates are cheering for Yohan and me from the VIP section.
I slowly looked around the stadium and captured all the scenery in my heart.
The fruits of this life and everything I loved were here and now.
Probably, I will never forget this moment in my life.
***
June 1, 2058. Even the Champions League final match has ended.
I was able to win the last game of my career.
The crowd that filled the Santiago Bernabeu stood up and started applauding as soon as the game ended.
“Congratulations on your retirement. Jejus.”
“Thank you. President Alexander.”
A retirement ceremony held after the Champions League awards ceremony.
A video commemorating retirement is played on the electronic display board.
[The salty club owner, listen! Reverse your retirement and declare that you will play one more season for Colchester United!]
From the Real Madrid induction ceremony scene to the performance and the video message, it passed quickly.
[Hmm… This place is very awkward. Lol… We’ve had a lot of hardships so far, and let’s live happily ever after.]
[Dad—! Congratulations on your retirement!]
[Dad, congratulations on your retirement! Now play with me a lot!]
The video letter ends with the youngest, Joseph.
[Jesus! Jesus! El ángel del Madrid (The Angel of Madrid) that we lost]
Let the madridistas start singing the cheer song for my debut season.
“Mr. Ai. “I guess there’s dust in my eyes.”
Tears started flowing.
After 260 years, I finally became a page of soccer history.
[Our El ángel del Madrid with the glory of Real!]
It was a retirement ceremony that I had been waiting for so long, but strangely, my steps did not slow down.
[The history of Real Madrid that he wrote with us has become a myth!]
As I listened to the cheering chants echoing throughout the stadium, I slowly bowed towards the stands.
There is no way I can express all of my feelings through this. I hope that my heart can be conveyed to them even just a little.
“Thank you so much.”
He expressed his gratitude for the abundance of love he has received.
