Chapter 212 – German King Lands in England (2)

212

Among the EPL clubs, the first to move were the Manchester brothers, Manchester United and Man City.

—I often expressed my respect for Ji-Sung Park, but our United, where Ji-Sung Park is our ambassador, is the club that suits Min-Jun Hong. I look forward to the day you stand at Old Trafford.
—Manchester’s dominance has long passed to our city. United? It’s just a noisy neighbor. We are a big, big club with the best facilities and the best players in the Premier League. Imagine how much you can develop under the Football City Group’s worldwide network and scientific and systematic training!

As expected of a big club in the Premier League, the conditions were good and the vision was good.
However, both teams had some regrets…

In the case of Man United, it is that they failed to qualify for the Champions League.

After Ferguson’s retirement, Manchester United, which suffered from constant domestic and foreign affairs and had a dark period, succeeded in a sparkling rebound in the late 2020s with the appointment of a young coach in his late 30s named Senol Montes.

Manager Senol Montes made expectations for Manchester United’s revival by winning second place in the league twice in three years and advancing to the semi-finals and round of 16 of the Champions League, but he could not avoid being sacked after a power game with the board.

It is because of the conflict between the propensity to aim for a ‘manager’ coach who wields full power, intervening in the club’s policy as well as the transfer, release, and renewal of players like coach Ferguson in the past, compared to the board members who want a ‘head coach’.

Manchester United, which had remained unstable after the sacking of Senol Montes, had to accept the disgrace of failing to advance to the Champions League for the second consecutive year by finishing 6th in the league last year as the squad’s faction problem exploded.

At least, the reform of the squad was successful, and it was evaluated as a successful rebuild, and the faction problem was resolved.

That’s why it seems to focus on me even more… And to play in Europa….

On the other hand, Man City is still doing well, forming the second round with Liverpool, as they are proud to be the ‘owner of Manchester’.
However, the problem is the aging squad.

The average age of the first-team squad is 28.5 years old, including prospects and bench members, so if you count only the best 11, the average age is well over 31 years old and is close to 32 years old.

No matter how long the heyday is in the modern soccer world, it is the age of 30 who does not know what will happen next year.

Even more so, South American players who don’t know when to hook up are the main players, so even if you don’t know the immediate performance, you can’t be sure what the next season or the next season will be like.

Rumor has it that players from South America and Europe are fighting factions here too.
Truly the Manchester brothers.

‘Besides, veterans are the main players, so if I transfer here, I will almost have no right to speak.’

I don’t necessarily want to be in the locker room’s leader group, but a team full of veteran players in their 30s is a bit….

‘Let’s cut Manchester United and keep Manchester City.’

It was Chelsea who made the next transfer offer.
What the heck… It was just appropriate.
It’s an advantage to be able to live in the big city of London.

“Is it over?”

After the five-day meeting, Harin shakes her head when asked.

“Tottenham and Arsenal calm down by saying that they have to sell players first so that they can raise the transfer fee. 100 million euros is not a small amount of money.”
“And?”
“There were inquiries from West Ham, but… This is a club that even Europa can’t get into, so I cut it off my line.”
“Well done. So, Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea are done meeting… Can we just wait for Tottenham and Arsenal? What about Liverpool?”
“There will be no room there. Because we spent too much on transfer fees last year.”

But.
Liverpool spent a total of 250 billion won last summer by signing five players in the transfer market.

It is said that 2 immediate combatants cost about 150 billion won, and 3 prospects burned 100 billion won.
Even so, he suffered from sluggishness and injuries in the first half, and in the winter transfer market, he hurriedly made a panic buy of 80 billion won.

No matter how rich the EPL is and Liverpool is a big club, it would be difficult to meet my ransom of 130 to 140 billion after paying over 350 billion in transfer fees last year alone.

“Tsk. Too bad. Liverpool is a good option. Then wait until Tottenham and Arsenal contact me—”
“Wait a minute. Yes, Agent O.”

After listening to the phone call for a while, Harin secretly looks at me.

“Why? Where are you?”
“Newcastle.”

And then I started talking again,

“He wants to meet you in Newcastle.”
“Meet? What… Shall we make a video call?”
“No. Directly.”

What is this?
Harin said as she hurriedly put on her coat.

“And right now.”
“Wait, wait. Are you meeting me right now? How?”
“They say they have already arrived in Seoul. What should I do, just let it go?”

Execution power check.
It’s Newcastle… I’m not interested in this candidate because I didn’t even think of it as an option, but I can’t just let people who came all the way to Korea see me.

“No. Let’s meet Why don’t you finish the meeting today?”

* * *

Newcastle.
The official name is Newcastle United Football Club.

Founded in December 1892 in the 19th century in Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Weir, Northeast England, the historic club enjoyed its heyday in the early 20th century.

In the early days of the Premier League, 1904/05, 1906/07, and 1908/09, they won three times every other year and had their heyday, but since then, they have not left any special achievements and have become a prestigious family that has fallen.

At least the most recent notable achievement was the FA Cup victory in 1955, so there was no championship and ties, and except for the championship in the second division, the 21st century’s winning cup was at most the 2006 UEFA Intertoto Cup.

It was just the championship cup of a tournament that was commented by PopoTwo, a famous soccer magazine that no one knows about, as “A bizarre tournament with a cosmetic cup without a trophy.”

It is a fallen famous house that goes back and forth between parts 1 and 2 from time to time, and in some ways it feels similar to Frankfurt, but fortunately, it was sold to a Saudi Arabian state-run fund armed with oil money.

Well, Saudi Arabia is a country with many problems, but money is money anyway.

“Nice to meet you, Minjun Hong. I am Mohammed Rashid Al Maktoum, Acting President of Newcastle.”
“This is Captain Frank Watts. It is very nice to meet you like this.”
“This is Newcastle manager Lauren Botman. To meet the player who will be the best, this is so exciting! You can be the king of the EPL—”
“Hope. Then let’s start the meeting.”

The head coach cut off the excited coach and began to state the conditions in a lengthy manner.
Salary, status, treatment… Blah blah.

I could feel the warm gaze as I was watching Harin talking hard.
He was the man I introduced as the acting chairman, with typical Arab features: tanned skin, distinct features, and a large nose.

“Anything to tell me… ?”
“I heard a lot from my daughter, Hong Min-jun. From what I’ve heard, you’re very handsome. You can admire an Asian man like this… Oh, I didn’t mean to be racist, so please don’t misunderstand. I’ve only traveled all over the world, including Europe, but I’m sorry to say that I’ve never met an attractive man like you.”
“It was nothing. What if it’s your daughter anyway?”

If I hadn’t brought up my daughter at first, I would have mistaken him for being gay.
It gives me goosebumps when a prejudiced but greasy-looking Arab, especially a man in his 40s, says this.

“Rania is my daughter. She said she had met her daughter.”
“Rania… “

Ah! Rania!
Sex fine Eva would often bring a girl for a threesome, and she is one of the girls she brings back then.

Because she has beautiful tanned skin and she has to keep her chastity according to Islamic law, she did everything except insertion… Big hum.

“As far as I know, I heard that Rania’s last name is Benshegra… “

Although her memory has improved tremendously, she cannot be confident that she can accurately remember even the last name of a woman she passed by.

“Her 4th wife’s last name was Benshegra. Now divorced, he takes her wife’s last name.”
“Four times… “

Truly Islam!
Then am I sitting in front of the father after making fun of the chastity of a woman who is more precious than life according to Islamic law, and the chastity of her daughter? ?

… Nope.
Didn’t insert, insert.

I tried biting, sucking, licking, hororororo, but I didn’t put it in anyway.
… Keep your virginity, so you’ll be fine.

A cold sweat breaks out.
Opponent is muslim. Isn’t that also a Muslim from Saudi Arabia, who is famous for being religiously conservative?

“That… Saudi Arabia also values ​​Islamic law as much as their lives… ?”
“Well? Saudi Arabia?”

The executioner with a puzzled expression… No, the deputy chairman laughed loudly.

“Oh, excuse me. Of course, people there are notorious for being inflexible. But I am from United Arab Emirates, UAE. He is a flexible Muslim.”

Exactly… Wearing a suit, not a typical Arab turban or costume, and even fluent English skills.
Except for his appearance, it would not be strange to mistake him for an Englishman, not an Arab.

“Newcastle’s owner is Saudi Arabia… Isn’t it a state-owned fund?”
“This. It’s been a while since the Al Maktoum royal family of Dubai acquired the club from Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund PIF. Didn’t you know?”
“…….”

I didn’t know.
