***

The first half is over.

“Don’t bow your head!”

The inspiration scolded the depressed players.

“Listen carefully, Liverpool have done it too. And while they were down three points in the first half, we were only down two points!”

Sir Alex Ferguson started to motivate his players by mentioning the Miracle of Istanbul.

I don’t know if the rivalry will fade in the future, but fortunately, the rivalry towards Liverpool is still strong and the inspiration’s motivational speech ended successfully.

As the inspiration continued, the sense of defeat in the players’ eyes began to slowly disappear.

As I nodded my head at the sight of the players burning with fighting spirit once again, the inspiration came to me.

“Gino.”

As the inspiration began to approach, I quickly thought back to see if there were any plays I had made wrong in the first half.

‘There were no problems with the first half play.’

But contrary to my worries, the inspiration gently patted my shoulder and continued speaking in a warm voice.

“Don’t worry too much about winning or losing. Just enjoy the game.”

I couldn’t hide my embarrassment at the affectionate voice ringing in my ears.

what.

Are you sick anywhere?

***

Alex Ferguson approached Son Jin-ho to explain his second-half tactics.

“Gino.”

But at that moment, Ferguson saw Son Jin-ho’s expression, crushed by the burden.

‘You’re 21 now.’

Ferguson, who thought about Son Jin-ho’s age, quickly changed his mind.

Rather than burdening Son Jin-ho with tactics centered around him, I just hoped that Son Jin-ho would enjoy the game.

“Don’t worry too much about winning or losing. Just enjoy the game.”

He himself will retire at the end of this season.

Isn’t Son Jin-ho’s soccer life just beginning?

He just hoped that Jin-ho Son wouldn’t be burdened by his own greed.

[The second half will begin with a kick-off by Manchester United.]

As the second half began, Manchester United’s counterattack began.

[They have incredible focus on the ball. Manchester United immediately press and win the ball back as soon as they lose possession.]

A situation where a lot of stamina has already been exhausted due to overpacing in the first half.

The Manchester United players decided to burn all their remaining energy at the start of the second half.

And the second half 5 minutes.

Sadio Mane picked up the ball on the right flank and attempted a cross.

[Mane’s Cross!]

[Huh? Mane’s cross just flows back!]

Son Jin-ho, who ran at full speed from outside the penalty box, succeeded in scoring directly.

[Go, gooooooooooooooooooooooo─!]

[Son Jin-ho’s fantastic volley shot succeeds in shaking FC Barcelona’s goal net!!]

***

Gerard Pique cursed under his breath.

‘Put the Madre.’

After Son Jin-ho scored the first goal at the start of the second half, the atmosphere in the stadium changed in an instant.

Manchester United started to push FC Barcelona hard as if it were their home stadium.

The moment the defensive line was shaken by Manchester United’s attack that started to run wild.

Gerard Pique was run over by Son Jin-ho and he committed a foul, earning a yellow card.

It was dangerous to let Son Jin-ho go like this.

Son Jin-ho loses his balance and falls to the ground after being grabbed by Gerard Pique’s jersey.

However, Son Jin-ho did not lose focus on the ball even after tripping over Pique’s hand.

He somehow managed to connect the pass while in an off-balance position.

It was a slightly imprecise pass, but the ball was safely passed to Robin van Persie anyway.

The referee awarded Manchester United the lead after seeing the ball go to Robin van Persie.

Mascherano attempted a tackle to stop Robin van Persie’s shot.

Robin van Persie received a pass in the penalty area and cleverly tripped Mascherano’s leg.

The referee pointed to the penalty spot and awarded a penalty kick.

“This kid tripped and fell on purpose!”

Mascherano protested to the referee with a look of indignation on his face, but the referee shook his head firmly and then brought up the yellow card that had been retroactively applied to Gerard Pique.

Robin van Persie, who won the penalty, turned his head and looked at Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ronaldo nodded under Van Persie’s gaze and readily gave the penalty kick to Son Jin-ho.

This is because I was aware that the atmosphere of the game was changing with Son Jin-ho at the center.

“Gino.”

“why.”

“You drive.”

To ensure the team’s victory, Ronaldo willingly gave up the penalty kick to Son Jin-ho.

‘There are a lot of sick people today.’

Son Jin-ho looked at Cristiano Ronaldo with an expression that seemed to wonder if the guy had eaten something wrong. In his opinion, Ronaldo was never a player who would give up what was his.

And moments later, as Robin van Persie moved outside the penalty box, Cristiano Ronaldo passed the ball to Son Jin-ho and whispered:

“Son Jin-ho, since I gave you the penalty kick, you must make it. You must not let Lionel Messi win the Champions League scoring title.”

Son Jin-ho nodded with an expression that said, “Well, that’s right.”

“Okay, I get it. Now let go.”

He answered while looking at Ronaldo who was not taking his hands off the ball.

“It’s not my will, Son Jin-ho… My hand won’t let go of the ball.”

Son Jin-ho looked into Ronaldo’s eyes as he uttered words that did not make sense.

And the moment I looked into Ronaldo’s unwavering eyes.

‘This kid… Is it really true that his hand doesn’t let go of the ball regardless of his will?’

Son Jin-ho realized that Ronaldo’s words were true.

***

[Son Jin-ho prepares for a penalty kick.]

[Yes. If I remember correctly, it was Ronaldo’s turn to take the penalty kick. However, I think he gave it to Son Jin-ho, who is competing with Lionel Messi for the Champions League scoring title.]

[It’s a penalty kick that is so burdensome that it’s called the 11M Russian Roulette. Will Son Jin-ho be able to overcome the burden of the Champions League final and successfully complete the penalty kick? A tense moment!! Son Jin-ho kicked it!!]

[Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooo─! It’s in! Son Jin-ho! Son Jin-ho calmly succeeds in the penalty kick!]

[You can do it! We can do it! Miracles are possible!!!]

[Jin-Ho Son ties the score at 2-2! Jin-Ho Son succeeds in bringing the game back to square one!!]

***

Just 10 minutes into the second half, Manchester United managed to get the game back on track.

Manchester United tried to take advantage of the momentum and score a comeback goal, but were blocked by FC Barcelona’s resistance and failed to achieve a comeback.

With the score tied at 2-2, the game time passes quickly.

Before we knew it, it was 21 minutes into the second half.

The energy levels of Manchester United players are slowly dropping.

FC Barcelona are slowly starting to pick up the pace.

Sir Alex Ferguson made a substitution as the game began to turn in Barcelona’s favour.

Michael Carrick was brought onto the pitch to replace Sami Khedira, who showed the limits of his physical strength.

Darren Fletcher was brought in to boost the team’s energy level, replacing Sadio Mane, who assisted the opening goal.

Now we have one replacement card left.

‘Should I leave out Gino?’

Alex Ferguson’s gaze turned to Son Jin-ho, who was breathing heavily.

Rationally, it would have been right to replace Son Jin-ho, who played the most for both teams in this match and was clearly showing signs of fatigue.

Meanwhile, Son Jin-ho’s performance made Alex Ferguson hesitate.

And in the end, Ferguson was unable to replace Son Jin-ho.

– You can trust Gino a little more. He is a player who lives up to the manager’s trust.

The moment I was about to replace Son Jin-ho, I remembered the conversation I had with Jurgen Klopp during the Champions League quarterfinals.

‘Wow. I guess I’m getting old now, relying on other people’s words at such an important moment.’

Alex Ferguson, with a bitter smile on his face, approached Michael Carrick, who was preparing to be substituted, and spoke to him.

“Tell Gino to conserve as much stamina as possible so he doesn’t have to play defense as much.”

***

Manchester United switched to a back three as soon as the substitutes were brought on.

The back three consisted of Virgil van Dijk, Michael Carrick, and Jonny Evans.

The left and right fullbacks joined the midfield battle, easing my defensive burden.

Due to the changed formation, I moved up a little higher.

Positioned just below Robin van Persie and Cristiano Ronaldo, who changed to a two-top.

With this, it became clear what the inspiration wanted from me.

‘Are you saying we should aim to score instead of defending?’

Michael Carrick approaches and relays the inspiration.

I nodded and started to conserve my energy.

However, FC Barcelona’s fierce offensive continued.

Just as I was about to go down to Manchester United’s camp to unknowingly support FC Barcelona’s continued offensive.

“Gino, stay still! We’ll somehow get the ball to you!”

Virgil van Dijk’s voice was heard.

With Virgil van Dijk’s voice full of determination, I began to trust and wait for my colleagues.

As regular time ended, the referee raised the alarm for extra time.

Finally, the fruits of patience have come.

Michael Carrick passed to me after shaking off the pressure of Ivan Rakitic and Andres Iniesta.

Michael Carrick’s pass was a bit inaccurate though, as he was blocked by FC Barcelona players.

It didn’t matter.

Having conserved my stamina, I reached my limit and began to run towards the ball with my legs trembling.

“──!”

And the moment you successfully catch the ball.

The surrounding noise gradually disappeared, and the players’ movements became clearly felt.

I tried to drag back at the same time I felt someone’s presence behind me.

He managed to avoid Mascherano’s tackle.

Mascherano attempts a sliding tackle and slides smoothly towards the ball.

I had an open shooting angle after avoiding Mascherano’s tackle, but I decided to go a little further than I could to get the shot.

Gerard Pique, who was caught in a counter-movement, lost his balance and fell down.

Ter Stegen is seen running into the penalty box, leaving the goal empty and narrowing the shooting angle.

Dani Alves and Mascherano are running to cover.

The moment I was about to shoot because of the limited time.

The events that happened after the return flashed before my eyes like a flash.

The emotions I felt that day when I reunited with Gyul-woo and the emotion I felt when Ha-eun was born.

– Ha-eun, what is that? Are you giving it to Dad?

– No, this is Mom’s.

And then I think of a family that usually bickers but takes care of each other without realizing it.

A smile naturally appeared on my lips.

Shaking off the burden, I attempted to shoot at Ter Stegen’s flank.

The ball left his toes and went past Ter Stegen and into the goal net.

I ran to the corner flag where the flames were starting to rise, looked up at the sky, and raised both arms in the air.

“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa—!”

And at that moment, the cheers of Manchester United and Dortmund fans echoed through the stadium.

***

The moment Son Jin-ho’s shot shook FC Barcelona’s goal net.

[Manchester United knock FC Barcelona off the top spot!]

The broadcasting crew, who were looking at the roaring Son Jin-ho, shouted out loud.
