Chapter 288 – King Joe (2)

288

“”A director who is not a big deal”! Hong Min-joon’s tip to Man City coach Gaspar!
『Newcastle Dynasty Declaration! Can the defending champion achieve two consecutive championships?”
『The conqueror of Germany declares the conquest of England』

If the press favorable to Newcastle cheered my remarks unanimously after the interview,

『To what extent should Hong Min-joon’s ‘direct’ interview, wrapped in frankness and scandal, be allowed?』
『A one-time conqueror? Arrogant remarks of an arrogant genius』
『The most ‘weak’ dynasty of all time! How long will the dynasty of a club once won the league last?”

Many media, including the Manchester City press, started sarcastically and ridiculing me.

Well, this is Europe.
Europe is generally free and open, but that’s only partly true. It is true that there is a freer and more open climate compared to Korea, but on the contrary, unlike Koreans, there are parts that are tightly blocked.

Representatively, the vertical culture of the sports world.
Communication between the coach and the players is much freer than in Korea, but at the same time, there are many aspects similar to Korea in the rigidity of the ‘vertical’ relationship, such as the authority of the coach and the relationship between seniors and juniors.

They say that one of the things that surprised Park Ji-sung when he joined Manchester United is the club’s senior-junior culture.
Scholes, the legend of Manchester United, was also caught in the dryer during his youth days, and Beckham had to masturbate while looking at pictures of his seniors (calendar) in front of everyone.

Becoming a boot boy (soccer shoe boy) and preparing your senior’s training clothes, training jacket, and soccer shoes is a basic skill of youth.

Of course, it’s a bad habit of the past that has been gone for a long time now, but that doesn’t mean that all customs will disappear.

At least, respect for the director’s authority was a natural ‘common sense’, and giving public insults in front of the director in an interview was enough to be criticized even in Europe.

Of course, I expected it to blow back, so I’m going to criticize this much… No, I even thought that the level of criticism, not criticism, was lower than I thought—

“Red… It’s okay?”
“Why are all the real knights like this! That smirking director started a fight first!”
“Non-lucky guys. I didn’t like Man City from the beginning, who tried to solve everything with money. I still can’t come to my senses and keep attacking, but this time I’m going to smash it.”

Colleagues are even more angry. Always glancing around that corner.

I wondered, but anyway.
Our eyes met Sarah McGinn, who smiled brightly and waved his hand.

Where do children play?

“No, I’m fine. Whether he’s gassy or squeamish, he smirks and pisses me off, he doesn’t look the same, and he’s a sucker for not winning the Champions League in his career, but he’s still a manager, right? Of course, I have to say something like this.”

At my motion to calm down, all my colleagues blinked.

“Minjoon… You really hate director Gaspar.”
“Still, he is a famous coach in La Liga and Serie….”

What? I’m the only one who makes a bad guy like this… ?
… This isn’t it.

There are three reasons for openly attacking it even though it knows that there will be criticism.

First of all, of course, the appearance of peeling pumpkin seeds without a smirk was disgusting and disgusting.

And secondly.

‘Yeah, it’s enough if I win.’

A soccer player, after all, knows how to speak soccer.
Unless it’s a serious crime, even if you’re good at soccer, it’s public opinion in the world, but I’m just openly attacking the opponent’s coach who is the worst.

I can’t make everyone like me anyway… No, would it be possible if it had 100 charm? Anyway, not everyone can like me, and people who don’t like me will hate me no matter what I do.

The important thing is not the opinions of the people at the extremes, but the opinions of the people in the middle, where the most people are located, and they will praise me again if I win.

Surface?
What if… That’s fucking embarrassing.

But am I bored

And lastly, the third—

“OK. Today’s shoot ends here. Thank you all for your hard work.”

Sarah McGinn, who used to be a reporter for Chronicle Live, a Newcastle local newspaper, and interviewed for this documentary, said that her colleagues, who were exceptionally engrossed in training and sweating profusely, stopped all at once.

“Whew, are you done? It’s over?”
“Oh, it’s hard. The end of this is in sight.”

A face that can’t hide a smile even though it’s grumbling on its lips.

The third reason was because of the documentary filming.

* * *

There are many things you need to do to become a prestigious team.
Career, grades, history, fundamentals worthy of prestigious….

However, the most important thing is the keyword that penetrates all of this, namely ‘public awareness’.
No matter how good the results are, no matter how strong the team is, the public will say, “The grades are good, but that team has no roots—the fundamentals. It can’t be called a prestigious school.’

Conversely, even if their grades and career are not very good, if the public thinks, ‘Even if they are sluggish recently, that team is a prestigious team with roots.’

Results, career, and team quality are of course important.
However, as there is a saying that it is a ruined family, the most important factor to eventually be recognized as a ‘prestigious team’ is people’s perception.

In the first place, it happened because the standard of ‘prestigious team’ itself was not clearly defined, and the standard was ambiguous, but what can we do? But you can’t just decide, “This is the cutoff for a prestigious team from now on.”

That’s why, after Dubai took over Newcastle, it has been preparing a documentary for a long time as part of the ‘Newcastle Famous House Project’.

Of course, in the early days of struggling in the second league and in the middle of wandering around the relegation zone, I had no choice but to finish it with a plan, but after my transfer to the propaganda that ranked 4th in the league right before my transfer, the appearance of renewing my career high every day made a decision on the board.

The Newcastle documentary that started last year, tentatively titled ‘Road To Champion’.

Last year, he showed off his overwhelming performance within the league, so the title of the documentary filming from the middle was set as ‘Road to Champion’, and he actually won the league overwhelmingly, making the board and documentary crew cheer.

Now, the remaining plan was to film until the beginning of this season and end it with ‘After winning the championship, Newcastle is moving forward for the next leap’, but… The problem is that I missed the first game of the season by being selected for the Olympics.

Well, it’s not like I’m alone in Newcastle, so it’s okay to film without me… That’s right, after all, I’m not the key to building a famous Newcastle family.

The club wanted to reject my selection for the Olympics, but can it?
It is an order that came down directly from the royal family of Dubai, which can be said to be the owner of the board, above the board.

In the end, we decided to extend the shooting schedule a bit more.

This is my expectation to the end, but I wonder if this is the reason why coach Lauren Botman is going to fight his pride against Chelsea coach Lorenzo.

The situation is also true for himself, who is underestimated compared to his grades, and for director Lorenzo, who is only evaluated for his competence as a director.

It’s not like you didn’t know it, but it was considered implicitly and it was a shoot that focused on the director on the outside.

… Um, I’m sorry.

Anyway, since the purpose itself is part of the creation of a Newcastle celebrity, the publicity is strong, so I was looking for a so-called pro-Newcastle press that was more friendly to Newcastle than a general documentary team, and BBC Northeast Cumbria took over.

BBC North East and Cumbria, headquartered in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, home of Newcastle, BBC serves the counties of Durham, Northumberland and Teeside, including Tyne and Wear, to which Newcastle-upon-Tyne belongs. English local broadcasting.

Since it is a broadcasting station belonging to the BBC and a local broadcasting station located in Newcastle, it was suitable in various aspects such as scale, production team, and pro-Newcastle appearance.

And the interviewer, with my indirect support, was Sarah McGinn, a reporter for the Newcastle Chronicle, a Newcastle daily, and a reporter dedicated to Newcastle.

What… Needless to say, I didn’t push Sara McGinn because she was my woman.
Again, it’s never like that.

Slightly… I had a feeling that it would be nice to have a pretty woman who can even have sex while filming, but it’s really not.

In the first place, isn’t Sarah McGinn a beautiful reporter who is famous for her hometown in Newcastle?
A member of the local newspaper Newcastle Chronicle, a reporter dedicated to Newcastle, and a devoted supporter of Newcastle from generation to generation. Who else would be the interviewer for a Newcastle dynasty-building documentary? Cancer.

After about a year of filming, the documentary, which finally started filming with my return, was scheduled to end after the 10th round against Man City.

But I suddenly thought that it would be boring if it ended like this.

A documentary announcing the beginning of my true heyday lacks impact only when it ends so sadly.
So is the title

What is the only way to become a champion?
It’s a working title that can change at any time, but ‘Champion’ doesn’t have too much impact. It’s boring

So I helped
An interview full of words like conquistadors and dynasty-building.

And now, if only Man City is destroyed to match the finale, Hong Min-joon’s documentary… No, the Newcastle documentary is being completed.

In short-

“Pongcha, be my sacrifice for the finale.”
“… What are you saying? “

Well.
I don’t care about the absurd look of a Man City player who is about to be smashed.
