Chapter 211 – German King Lands in England (1)
211
As soon as the video meeting with Juventus was connected, a blonde beauty who appeared to be in her mid-to-late 20s suddenly thrust her face into her.
— Finally we meet! How much I look forward to meeting you… Nice to meet you, Minjun Hong! My name is Pamela Agnelli. I am in charge of external advisor to Juventus!
Pamilla was a typical Western-style beauty who had a strong impression of her.
She was like a career woman who gave off a strong impression with a luxurious jean suit, an all-back style with even a single strand of hair tied back so that it would not flow, and heavy makeup, but unlike her appearance, her behavior and atmosphere were something I admired. It was like a teenage girl who met a celebrity.
Haha… Chairman Federico Agnillane. Her daughter is a big fan of yours, so I hope she understands me.
The chairman, who showed his face on the screen a beat late, also seemed embarrassed by his daughter who behaved like a flirtatious girl.
“Anylly… It’s that family name.”
Harin whispers next to her.
Come to think of it, I remember passing by when I was reviewing data about Juventus right before the meeting.
Famiglia Agnelli.
It must have been because it was the family that owned Juventus.
In other words, it is the owner’s family.
‘The owner’s family… Awesome.’
Regardless of whether it’s cool or not, when you look at it like this, whether you’re a chaebol or rich, it’s similar to an ordinary family.
Like Harin’s father, and the nobleman over there.
She has since appeared as CEO, Sporting Director and even Honorary Chairman Francho Grande Stevens.
Juventus’s enthusiasm for this recruitment match seems stronger than expected.
“I was a bit surprised that so many people attended the meeting for my recruitment. I thought Italy wouldn’t like me.”
Regardless of the size or level of the league, I did not expect that they would actively want me in Italy in the first place.
Because that happened in the World Cup.
Isn’t Italy a country crazy about soccer?
As crazy as they are, Italy is still giving a damn about the match they were eliminated after losing to Korea in the 2002 World Cup that took place 30 years ago.
They say shit about a game from 30 years ago, a disgusting match, but how much would they do with a game that was less than a month old?
Besides, I should have cleaned up my mouth a bit.
What you’re doing must’ve made your stomach ache, and you’d be treated like a killer in Italy.
—No matter how serious we are about football, that is a misunderstanding.
“There are already actual cases of damage that are misunderstood. Because he was Ahn Jung-hwan and scored the winning goal against Italy in the 2002 World Cup, the owner of Perugia, who was a member of the team at the time, gave me all sorts of disadvantages.”
The Juventus officials looked at each other at my callous reply.
Well, they don’t remember us who suffered, do they understand?
After asking for some time, the meeting resumed about 10 minutes later, and Juventus officials were making troubled faces.
Hopefully, I’ll check it out and find out it’s true.
-Well… It’s late, but I apologize on behalf of Italy. But I want to emphasize that this time it is different.
“What is different?”
—Only two types of fans exist in Italy. Ultras, Juventus supporters, and Antiro, who hates Juventus.
I’ve heard of it.
The popularity of Juventus in Italy is overwhelming, and at the same time Anti is also overwhelming.
—Vecchia Signora (Old Lady: Juventus nickname) has more supporters than both Milan, AC Milan and Inter Milan combined. Public enemy in Italy. So, we can say that Hong Min-jun has nothing to worry about. After all, if you become a Bianconeri, there will be only two types of fans in Italy: fans and anti-fans. Of course the Ultras are ready to protect our players.
It was a wild word, but it was also true.
In the data reviewed before the meeting, there was data from a survey of Serie A supporters, but Juventus occupied an overwhelming pie with an early-to-mid 30% share, and then both Milans accounted for 15%.
The memory is clear because the overwhelming popularity is impressive, which is not comparable to Juventus even when both Milans are combined.
Well… It’s pretty goofy.
—Oh, and one more. As you know, our popularity in Japan is great. It will also be effective in enhancing Hong Min-jun’s image in Japan.
It’s really useless.
“Okay. I will discuss it with my staff.”
The video of Juventus executives laughing and Familla looking at each other with a desperate expression cut off.
“What do you think?”
“Well… Subordinated.”
Certainly, having meetings like good talkers, I had no intention of moving to Serie A, but I thought it might be worth considering as an option.
The meeting with PSG after lunch was as expected.
—We guarantee 15 billion after tax. Oh, of course, incentives and allowances due to various options are separate. 15 billion after tax for pure basic annual salary. We are also perfect in incentives and options. Depending on Minjun Hong’s performance, it could be over 20 billion won.
As an oil money club famous for its money, it put money ahead of any other club, and it was a booming condition that was not lacking in any part, such as not only salary, incentives and options, but also portrait rights, personal sponsors, benefits and welfare.
“… Sure, conditions are good. It’s overwhelming.”
If it wasn’t for League One and Gabriel Mendy, I’d sign it right away.
Even if I move to PSG, the center of this team can only be Gabriel Mendy.
Isn’t that the divinity of French nationality?
Wherever you go, your country’s players have priority, not mercenaries. Not to mention, Mendy is a god who is expected to be the next best player in the world in France.
Well, from the Olympics to this World Cup, it is a bean line that has been beaten by me repeatedly and only ranks 2nd in points.
Still, even a mongrel eats at his house, so you can’t beat Gabriel Mendy from France at PSG.

Korea was abuzz with rumors of my transfer.
『The race toward Hong Min-joon that has finally begun』
“Only 100 million euros? For Hong Min-joon’s ransom, it’s no different than a bargain!』
“Single! Transfer official “Munich proposes a super big deal”, Frankfurt Bundesliga club accepts the bid?
『Revenge EPL clubs keeping an eye on Hong Min-joon』
『Hong Min-joon, the man of 100 million euros! What hurts your stomach the most is Barcelona?”
—Wow, is it Hong Min-jun? Is 100 million euros true?
True story
ㅇㅇ
—How much is 100 million euros?

Oh, is it red pepper?

—Pump Minjun! Fuck Minjun! Fuck Minjun!
Sports news was covered with Hong Min-joon’s transfer saga, and netizens’ attention was also focused.
From all sorts of chirras of unknown origin to rumors from abroad, they are constantly being expanded and reproduced, and interest in the transfer rumor grows more and more, and finally, even on the airwaves news, the ‘transfer rumor’, not the transfer, is reported.
A Korean player… No, an Asian player is being priced at a whopping 100 million euros.
Who would have imagined a situation where all the clubs rushed at it just because it was cheap?
In the soccer-related community, the reactions of Frankfurt fans who were both saddened by and cheering for Hong Min-jun’s transfer were translated and posted in popular posts, and reactions from Japan and China running wild with jealousy and envy were being updated in real time.
But most of all, netizens are interested in—
—So where did you participate in the EPL?
—Please Man United! Please Man United! Please Man United! Please Man United!
— These days, everything is good at Arsenal, but there is only one goalkeeper. It’s 20-year-old Gooner’s long-held wish, please come to Arsenal, Min-Jun! Only you can win season 2 undefeated!
—Hong Min-jun The goal is also a goal, how can you not see it? He’s good at passing toohahaIt would suit him perfectly if he came to Man Cityhehe
—Liverpool is… Can’t you?
—ㅅㅅ Fucking Barcelona bastards, my blood pressure is rising againhahah I bought it after selling Hong Min-joon.
-He… Come to Leicester City…
—Does King God General’s Min-joon look like a dick? It’s all under the Champions Leaguehaha
Enter the EPL right away.
And that time.
Finally, EPL clubs started to move.
—Nice to meet you, Minjun Hong. Getting the chance to sign the Bundesliga, Europa, and World Cup top scorers, how lucky is thishaha. How… Are you thinking of becoming King of Manchester?
