Episode 275: The Requester

Last game of the season.

Kim Shin-ah was busy watching the game and checking community trends.

[(Man City vs Man U) ???: No, you said you could score a goal….]

◆(Video of Pep Guardiola stroking his eyebrows and beard with a worried expression)

→Is that because he doesn’t have hair, he’s just touching his eyebrows? LOL

→I’m fiddling with all the hair on my face

→ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

→I can’t even reach up there ㄷㄷ

→Stroking all the hair except the head

After reading one post, Kim Shin-ah giggled and moved on to the next post.

[Pep touching a precious spot because he’s nervous.mp4]

◆(Video of Pep Guardiola sitting on a chair and rubbing his groin)

→Takoyaki ㄷㄷ

→Tactical pouch

→Did you learn it from Loep?

→He seems very anxious because he touches everything here and there ㅋㅋ

→My eyes are slightly opened

→Check the ink lol

“Oh my, it’s dirty and fucking funny.”

Recently, Kim Shin-ah confirmed the dangers of the community. This damn community was incredibly volatile and addictive.

It’s right not to do it for the sake of life, but then I have nothing else to do in my spare time, so I turn it on.

[Silva miss this Kim Minwoo crazy save ㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷ]

◆(Video of Holland and Silva passing the ball back and forth until the end and taking a shot, but Kim Min-woo ended up making the save)

→This wasn’t Kim Min-woo, it went in unconditionally

→Why is Manchester United’s defense so fragile?

→Factos) Kim Min-woo’s current age is 20 years old. He has 20 more years left before he retires.

→Let’s win the World Cup for the fifth time in a row~

→If this is a draw, it’s a championship, but isn’t Kim Min-woo really a champion? It seems like he wins at least two trophies every season.

So happy~

[Pep despairs after missing a scoring opportunity ㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷ]

◆(GIF of Pep Guardiola lying down while watching)

→Fuck reaction lol

→I think he thought he had put in 100% effort and prepared his reaction in advance ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

→Octopus show lol

→Director Wolk’s reactions are also Wolk-level ㅋㅋㅋ

This was hilarious even when I saw it in real time. I thought it would definitely go in, but it’s a different story when the keeper is Kim Min-woo.

And in the second half, there was a brief lull before Manchester City returned to dominating the game.

But Kim Shin-ah wasn’t too worried.

That kind of composition, that kind of appearance, that kind of scene was already too familiar.

“It’s heaven now. In Hanover….”

At that time, Hanover was not playing a game, but a war. The games were like watching a very fierce highland battle.

It still seems very difficult, but compared to the time in Hanover, it didn’t seem that difficult.

“Oh. Here we go again.”

30 minutes into the second half. Manchester City has been continuously pounding Manchester United and is still pounding them, but the goal is not showing any signs of opening.

Rather, it was becoming more and more solid as time passed.

A fight to break through or not to break through.

In addition, since Manchester United would occasionally attack too openly, leaving the back space empty, and counterattack, thinking, “Can we have a shot?”, we couldn’t use all our players to attack.

It’s like I’m going in but I’m not.

A series of scenes where it seems like a goal will be scored if you just do a little more.

And this tightrope walking situation was repeated countless times in Hanover, and each time Hanover achieved their desired goal.

Kim Shin-ah has no doubt that Manchester United will do the same.

The goalkeeper is Kim Min-woon!

A goalkeeper with 0 goals conceded in official matches including youth leagues!

On the screen, Kim Min-woo struggled but steadfastly blocked Manchester City’s all-out offensive just like he did in Hannover.

[Oh, my heart hurts just watching. Another save from Kim Min-woo. I’m getting tired of counting now.]

[Time is running out. Oh, and here is a young Manchester City fan crying. Did he sense they wouldn’t win?]

A blonde girl was shown on the screen. Her expression was almost on the verge of tears as she watched Kim Min-woo’s continued defense.

It was sad and cute, but what can I do? That’s just the way the world is… .

Shin-A folded her arms and focused on the game. Manchester United’s title victory was just around the corner.

* * *

There is a saying:

Man City are invincible in the second half.

Manchester City were tough in the first half, but we eventually caught them.

So when I first heard that, I laughed it off, but now that I think about it, I understand why they say that.

‘They were strong in the first half, but in the second half, it was very rare for Manchester City to lose or draw. The fact that they were able to catch up by 12 points means that Manchester City is a strong team.’

It was the same in Gyeonggi-do today.

Giovanni countered Manchester City’s attacks with counterattacks through space behind, but if it were another team, they would have conceded at least one goal by now due to the space behind being breached several times.

But the octopus-headed Manchester City were different.

Even if the back space was momentarily opened up, the cover was good, and even if our attackers broke through the defenders, they were blocked by the goalkeeper.

Because the best clubs in the world always have the best goalkeepers in the world.

‘Here it comes again… .’

Now my throat was so sore that I could barely even shout the names of the defenders. Thinking that this was a fight with myself, I concentrated once again.

I felt like something was burning inside me because I had to maintain this high level of concentration for almost the entire game, but since this was one of the most important moments in my life, I ignored the pain and focused only on the next step.

This time, it was a ground pass from the outside of the box to the center of the box. I quickly stretched my body after watching the trajectory of the pass because if I failed to block it, it could lead to a goal.

If I hadn’t blocked it, this pass would have gone to Holland. But now it’s in my hands.

I took a deep breath, holding the ball in my hands. It was a waste of time. The game was delayed for a few more minutes.

The Manchester City players now attacked with fire under their feet.

I wondered why they were rushing so much, so I glanced at the scoreboard and saw that 44 minutes had already passed in the second half.

‘at las…!’

The onlookers booed loudly. It seemed to them that time was running out.

And I continued to cut off the passing trajectory by taking advantage of the opponent’s haste.

If I were to cut off the pass trajectory, stall for time, and kick it far outside, that alone would have erased 1-2 minutes.

‘What the fuck? Are you kidding me with 9 minutes of extra time?’

This isn’t extra karaoke time. Why are you giving me this much?

I complained inside, but first I focused on the game again.

Another killer pass. Man City loved passes that broke down the defense. And I liked those passes too. The trajectory of the pass was visible, so it was easy to catch.

I ran over and caught it, then lay down.

And then, as if to say that this time it won’t work, the referee comes running and blows his whistle.

“Kim! Stop it now! How long are you planning on stalling?”

And then he took out the yellow one. I was so shocked that I protested.

“No, what is this? They give me a card for something like this!”

“It’s a warning for deliberately delaying the game. If you don’t want to get another one, you’d better do it properly.”

Other people waste more time than I do, but this is just too much. I tried to waste time in a gentlemanly way.

However, the teammates protested to the referee, saying that it was unfair. Surely this protest wouldn’t be considered extra time, right?

“Referee! Is this time also added to the extra time?”

The demanding Holland asks that question. However, the referee does not answer and quickly resumes play.

The game resumes like that.

We desperately blocked Manchester City’s attacks, and in the process, Manchester United players were substituted.

‘Nice Giovanni!’

Kim Jun-young, who was brought in almost at the last minute.

I took this time to have a quick drink of water.

One minute, two minutes. Time ticks by again.

This time it was a cross from the half space.

Once again, the fellow defenders are flustered. Their reactions are also half a beat slower. Above all, the cross trajectory was too good. If they hadn’t seen the pass trajectory, it would have been really dangerous.

“Tchcha.”

But for me, who can see the pass trajectory, it’s a different story.

When I lightly intercepted a cross that should have been received by Jeremy Doku, the Manchester City players were so shocked that they put their hands on their knees and gasped for breath as if they had lost all strength.

And that scene was crucial.

Even without time, the Manchester City players were exhausted when I made saves so easily.

After that, it was to the point where the friendly defenders were cutting, and after a little more time passed―

Beep— beep— beep!

Game over! Score 0:0! But it was a draw more valuable than ever.

We ran across the field in joy without saying who would go first.

‘It’s a win!’

When was it?

Klopp’s Liverpool finished as runners-up with 97 points, but we won the title with 86 points.

“Kim! You did it!”

Giovanni came running onto the field and said with a childlike joy, which may not seem like the right thing for a manager to say, but let’s just move on since we’ve achieved the great feat of winning the Premier League.

“Where’s Kim!”

The players who were each happy soon came to their senses and started looking for me. I wondered why they were looking for me, but the players suddenly wrapped their arms around me and carried me away.

“Wow! Kim! Kim!”

“What, what is it? Why is this happening? Tell me.”

Then, he suddenly picked it up and threw it into the sky. It was called a henggarae. I smiled and caught the henggarae.

As I was receiving the handout, I was reminded of the old days. When I first became a pro, my Suyang High School teammates congratulated me and gave me this.

Since then, the first time I received a hangar, I raised my left hand to the sky like I did back then.

The feeling was similar to that time. It felt like I had the world.

After coming down, I approached each of the Manchester City players who had bitter expressions and encouraged them. In particular, Holland,

“How is it? Are you feeling better now?”

“Kim. I’ve decided.”

“what?”

“Scoring you. I have to add that to my life bucket list. I will score against you. Whenever.”

“… Have you still not come to your senses?”

Even after being treated like that?

Well, it doesn’t matter. There are players all over the world who want to score goals from me, and Holland is just one of them.

“Congratulations Kim. I didn’t want to go all the way to the World Cup to see you, but I’ll give you the goal I missed this time, plus interest.”

“Wouldn’t it be better if we met in the group stage? If we meet early, we can meet in the finals at the latest.”

Holland leaves with a smirk. Afterwards, I also said hello to Pep. Pep smiled and asked if I would consider playing for Manchester City next season, and I said I would seriously consider it.

Actually, when you just look at the facilities and environment, Manchester City was better… .

* * *

This season Manchester United have achieved everything they could have done. It’s literally the best plan that has come to fruition.

EFL, FA, EUROPA, and finally the EPL.

All contests have been accepted.

After the trophy and medal presentation ceremonies, I was interviewed after the victory.

He was the POTM of today’s match, was in the Best 11 of the season and was also the EPL Player of the Year.

The scoring title and assist title went to other teams, but at the end of the season, Manchester United took home the Player of the Year and Manager of the Year awards. It was only natural, if it was only natural… .

“Kim! You achieved the quadruple crown in your first season! You’ve won every trophy you could possibly win, and fans are already calling you the ‘Championship Contractor.’ How do you feel?”

“First of all, I’m really happy that the team won the league championship for the first time in 13 years. I think I played a big part in that―”

The introduction was long, but to summarize, I think that nickname is natural, and I wish there were cooler nicknames~ That’s how I ended it.

Winning Contractor is a good nickname, but… … there are better nicknames than that. Winning Contractor doesn’t quite describe me.

Whatever it was, it had to be richer than that.

“There was a war of nerves between Holland and Kim before the match. In the end, Kim won! What do you think about this match and Holland?”

He didn’t say anything like, “He was brave in his own way, but he was still a loser.”

Respecting your opponent increases your own value. Now that the game is over, I will send Holland to the ends of the earth and show him respect.

“Manchester United will be having a car parade after achieving an unprecedented quadruple crown. Are you ready for the fun?”

“I really like traditional celebrations. I enjoyed them in Hannover too. But since this is not our home stadium, it was a bit more relaxed. I hope many people will enjoy it in the future. I also hope that Manchester City will lift the Big Ears so that all the people of Manchester can enjoy it.”

“Oh… …Manchester United and Manchester City are rival teams.”

“Yes. But no matter which team you support, the people who support both teams are from Manchester, right?”

If you tell this to Tottenham and Arsenal fans, they will probably frown and say, “What the hell are you talking about?” But as far as I know, the relationship between Manchester United and Manchester City is not that bad.

Fortunately, the reporter looked at me with a slightly moved expression, as if it had gone down well. Phew.

“Now that the season is over, how do you plan to spend the upcoming pre-season?”

“… … There’s still the World Cup left, right?”

“Are you preparing for the World Cup?”

What an obvious statement.

I looked at the reporter blankly and answered.

“Manchester United have won the quadruple, but I will keep going. There is still one trophy left to lift.”

“Are you saying you will lift the World Cup?”

“thank you.”

When I just laughed it off without answering, the reporters’ expressions became anxious. No one would laugh at my resignation letter, so I guess they just wanted to get the article out there as quickly as possible.

I understand.

I walked down the hallway, stretching.

I’ve won every trophy I could get before the World Cup. Now, there’s really only one left. Above all, it seems like it’s really possible now. I’ve also received a decent reward.
